In September 2015, the 8th "World Chess Holy War" was in full swing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Beijing, located not far from the Chinese Chess Academy, "Tianyuan Building", "Li Xiaoqiang Go School" headquarters is located here.

Today's "Li Xiaoqiang Go School" is amazing, although compared with other Go training institutions, the scale of the "Li Xiaoqiang Go School" that takes the elite route is not large, but after so many years of careful cultivation and development, this school has a great influence in the Go world, especially in the minds of the majority of chess children and parents who are interested in taking the road of Go, this school is simply a holy place, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Whampoa Military Academy in the Go world.

However, to the disappointment of many people, in the early years, Li Xiaoqiang would continue to recruit some "inner disciples", starting with the eldest disciple Chen Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang's total number of "inner disciples" has more than 10. These inner disciples are all well-known figures in the Go world.

If it is said that the chess players trained by other Go institutions can play the main force in the "Weijia", then it can be regarded as a talent. So all of them who came out of the "Li Xiaoqiang Go School" must be measured by the standard of "world champion".

Everyone is strange in this place, in the early years, Li Xiaoqiang himself was still fighting on the front line, and at that time he still had time to recruit inner disciples. But now, Li Xiaoqiang has basically faded out of the line, except for the "World Chess Holy War", not to mention what decent results have been achieved in other events, many competitions are too lazy to participate, and when they are happy, they go to play one or two games, most of the time it is also a "one-round tour" or "two-round tour", a standard "happy Go" posture.

But Li Xiaoqiang, who was reduced to playing "Happy Go", became more and more cautious when recruiting inner disciples, and after "two meals and one rice", Li Xiaoqiang had not recruited new inner disciples for several years.

No one knows why, no one knows what's going on. Except, of course, for Li Xiaoqiang himself. His own family knows his own affairs, and Li Xiaoqiang is not a real god, when the benefits of rebirth are completely gone, and in the face of completely unfamiliar faces, it is completely understandable, with a person with such a good face as Li Xiaoqiang, he thinks about his own face, of course he will be very cautious in this kind of matter, unless he is particularly optimistic, he will not easily recruit inner disciples.

Although the number of inner disciples has not increased, Li Xiaoqiang's hobby of being a good teacher has not changed, especially after gradually fading out of the front line, the time to play chess is getting less and less, and the time to teach chess is naturally more and more, Li Xiaoqiang is more and more frequent in the "Li Xiaoqiang Go School", communicating with his disciples once or twice a week, and Li Xiaoqiang has developed a new habit in the past two years.

Today, it's time to communicate with your own disciples. What is a little special today is that Li Xiaoqiang's disciples seem to be very together.

Li Xiaoqiang sat on the main seat with a golden knife, and swept away the faces of the disciples with a very unhappy gaze.

Chen Xiaoqiang, Zhou Xiaoyang, Park Wenyao, Tang Weixing, "One Dragon per Field", "Two Rice and One Rice", "Tuo Lao"... It can be said that except for Iyama Yuta, who is far away in Japan, all Li Xiaoqiang's disciples are here.

Li Xiaoqiang's opening is a lesson:

"You guys, aren't you usually quite capable, how come at a critical moment, there is no one to rely on, alas, shame, my old face has been lost by you people...

Li Xiaoqiang does have reason to be upset.

"Of course I can't win all the time, the throne of the chess saint in this world, I will one day give it up, if possible, I hope that the person who defeated me is a disciple trained by my own hands...

This is a sentence that Li Xiaoqiang has often said in recent years. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, which is not only in line with human nature, but also in line with the current situation in the world chess world. Since entering the second decade of the new century, Li Xiaoqiang's disciples have become a force to be reckoned with in the world chess world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are even the most active force.

In 2011, it was Chen Xiaoqiang who challenged Li Xiaoqiang, and in 2013, it was the turn of Iyama Yuta, although both of them failed to succeed in the challenge, but the entire Go community recognized that the most likely to oust Li Xiaoqiang from the throne was still Li Xiaoqiang's own disciples.

Among them, no one named names, and did not point out which disciple was the most promising. Because the entire Go world is equally recognized: although Li Xiaoqiang's disciples are outstanding, no disciple can compare with Li Xiaoqiang. Not to mention Li Xiaoqiang's disciple, even if you look at the entire world chess world, no chess player can reach the height that Li Xiaoqiang has reached.

Looking at the current world chess world, in the group of first-class chess players, Li Xiaoqiang's disciples occupy most of the country, so Li Xiaoqiang said, "I hope that my own disciples will defeat me", no one thinks there is anything wrong with this.

Especially earlier this year, when the 8th "World Chess Holy War" had just reached the top 8 stage, Li Xiaoqiang became a magic stick early:

"Now it seems that if there is no accident, it should be my disciple who comes up to challenge this time... What the? Which one do you ask me? Don't ask me this.,I don't know which one it will be.,Anyway, it's definitely my apprentice.。。。 ”

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang has a reason to be angry, in the top 8 lineup of this year's "World Chess Holy War", Li Xiaoqiang's disciples grabbed 6 seats. The other two, one is the current first person in the Korean chess world, Xiao Pu Tianzi, and the other is Lao Nie's closed disciple Ke Xiaogui.

Among these two opponents, the focus of everyone's attention and research at that time was still South Korea's Park Tianzi. There are two reasons for this, one is that compared with Ke Xiaogui, Xiao Xiaopu is a Korean chess player after all, a foreign chess player, so you must pay more attention to it. The second reason is that Xiao Xiao Pu is indeed quite powerful, in recent years, Chinese Go has become stronger and stronger, and Xiao Xiao Pu and Japan's Iyama Yuta are the two foreign players who pose the greatest threat to Chinese Go.

Of course, Xiaoxiaopu is good, but Li Xiaoqiang doesn't take him very seriously. Because he has been more active in recent years, Li Xiaoqiang usually pays more attention to him.

In Li Xiaoqiang's eyes, this Xiaoxiaopu has several flaws, first of all, this chess player's talent is average, of course, this talent is not compared with ordinary chess players, compared with ordinary chess players, his talent is still quite outstanding, but if measured by the standard of "super first-class", his talent is quite average. For example, compared with several generations of Korean Go leaders, from Cao Yanzi, Li Shifo, Li Shishi to Park Tianzi, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that this little Pu's talent is the worst.

How would you describe his game of Go? Li Xiaoqiang believes that Park Tianzi's basic skills in Go are quite solid, and they are the product of basic skills to the peak. It must be admitted that this type of chess player is indeed very difficult to deal with, but it cannot be denied that it is also very difficult for this type of chess player to reach a new realm, a new height, limited by his talent.

If it's just that the talent isn't enough, forget it. Because "talent" is a relatively empty thing after all, even Li Xiaoqiang can't be sure that his opinion is completely correct. But another weakness of Park Tianzi is not only Li Xiaoqiang, even many ordinary chess fans can see it clearly.

This little Pu lacks ruthlessness, let alone a first-class winner and loser, even if he is an ordinary winner, he can't be called an ordinary winner!

It is precisely because of these shortcomings that Li Xiaoqiang does not think much of Xiaoxiaopu. In Li Xiaoqiang's opinion, he casually pulls an apprentice out, and he may not have any advantage over Xiao Xiaopu, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands, if it is a group fight... Li Xiaoqiang thinks that the probability of Park Tianzi rushing in front of him is not large.

If Park Tianzi can't do it, then as for Ke Xiaodevil---- although he has been gaining momentum recently, but 1 year ago, who knows who this little guy is?

It's a pity that it backfired, when the game continued, when the time came to September, the prophecy of the magic stick in front of Li Xiaoqiang completely failed, which made Li Xiaoqiang feel faceless, and it was also the reason why he was angry today:

His 6 major disciples did not stop the two of them, and in the end, it was Park Tianzi and Ke Xiaodevil who competed for the right to challenge the 8th "World Chess Holy War".

Of course, this is not the most depressing thing for Li Xiaoqiang, and the more depressing thing happened 1 month later.

In October 2015, when Ke Xiaodevil defeated Park Tianzi with a score of 3-1 and won the right to challenge the 8th "World Chess Holy War":

“。。。 I admire Mr. Li very much, and Mr. Li is the goal of all professional chess players to learn and catch up. But if you ask me to predict the outcome of this final, I think the probability of winning is more than 60%... ”

“。。。 Because, it's time for the legend to end! ”
