"Xiao Jiang, have you ever been to Cuiwei County this month?"

"Old Xiong, not yet, I'm going to go there in a few days. I'm going to stay there for a few more days this time. ”

"Hey, Xiaoqiang, this kid doesn't know what Lu Dao thinks. You said that the capital is such a good learning environment, why doesn't he know how to cherish it at all? I had to run back to my hometown. What do you call it? ”

"Hehe, don't worry about Old Xiong. Xiaoqiang, this kid has a lot of ideas, and he must have his own reasons for doing this. ”

"Reason? What can be the reason, if you want to play chess, at least you must play "tight chess". He went back to our Ganyuan, and I could only let you accompany him at most. That's called tight chess. Yesterday, the capital also called to inquire about Xiaoqiang's situation. To be honest, I don't have any bottom in my heart. ”

"Hehe, I really can't say whether Xiaoqiang has made a chess move or not. Why don't you see when it's convenient, let's go to Cuiwei County together? ”

"Huh? I said Xiao Jiang, looking at you like this, do you just let you go and play so many games with him, and he is really likely to play chess? Nothing like that! Hehe, I think it's about the same as your chess move. You also told me some time ago that you feel that Xiaoqiang's chess is a lot unfamiliar. Some of the moves were clearly stiff. ”

"Did I say that?"

"Why not, didn't you go to Cuiwei County on National Day? Didn't you say something like that when you came back, why, you forgot? ”

"Oh? Ha Luha, that's all the old yellow calendar......"

"What old calendar? I said Xiao Jiang, you're not fooling my old man. Have you been perfunctory to me? It's only been two months, how can you become an old yellow calendar......"

"Old Xiong, don't worry. It's all my fault for not reporting to you the next two times. Hehe, I definitely didn't perfunctory you, to put it mildly, the National Day was really an old yellow calendar. I really forgot if you didn't mention it. Because compared to that time, the last two times impressed me! ”

"Oh? What the hell is going on? Tell us about the specifics. ”

"In November. I played a total of 9 sets with Xiaoqiang, and I won 3 and lost 6. In December, I played 8 sets with him and I won 4-4......"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Xiaoqiang and you are like this, and you still say that he has improved......"

"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me. In November, 9 games of chess let me go first, and 4 games let me have 2 pieces. In December, he all let me have 2 sons. ”

"Huh!? This...... This ......"

"Hehe, you know what I mean now."

"I said Xiao Jiang. You tell me truthfully. Do you play chess seriously? ”

"Hey! It couldn't be more real, like real gold that is replaced by a fake. To be honest, I want to go to Xiaoqiang to play chess every day. Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, playing with him, I feel that my chess has improved a lot. ”

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Ha Luha, Old Xiong, do you remember Xiao Gao? That's right, the one who won the provincial championship in the Qiancheng race last year. This kid was very angry after winning the championship. Dare to be arrogant in front of me. A few days ago, they came to challenge me, and you guess the worst thing the result is. 0-3, he can't even make a draw in front of me now. ”

"Huh? Xiao Gao and I know that he used to be worse than you. 0-3 is nothing. Maybe he wasn't in a good shape that day? ”

"No, no, no, you know Xiao Gao, if he lost 3 games in a row before, do you think he would let me go? It's no wonder he doesn't pester me to win back. And this time. He sensed the gap, so he honestly ran. That's why I think I'm playing chess too. It's a real chess move! ”

"Listen to you say that, so Xiaoqiang......"

"Xiaoqiang, that's a genius! A genius I can't imagine! Ha Lu Ha. I'm so blessed to be able to play so many games with a genius. ”

"Do you have any specific feelings about playing chess with Xiaoqiang?"

"Hmm...... Let me think...... What are your specific feelings? On the surface, many of his tricks are the same as before, and they all look ordinary. If anything, it's ...... It's ......"

"What's it?"

"I don't know very well, otherwise, Old Xiong, when will you come with me. You help with the analysis. What difference does his move really make...... Well, that's right, get a little stronger! Xiaoqiang's chess power is different! ”

"Power point? What do you mean? ”

"Hehe, I don't feel this way if I don't fight him personally. I feel that Xiaoqiang always suddenly exerts force in unexpected places on the chessboard. It often catches me off guard. Later, I learned to be obedient, but no matter how careful I was, it would be easy to get caught up in it. Of course, his power still seems to be a bit blunt, and in the few games I won, Xiaoqiang himself said that his force is still a bit unreasonable. However, it can be clearly seen that in the back, his strength is becoming more and more skillful and natural. At my level, of course, it's unguardable. ”

"Hearing you say that, I really want to check it out. You're okay after New Year's Day, right? Then we'll go together. ”

"Okay, hehe, I said Old Xiong, do you want to go up and try it yourself? I'll tell you the truth, it's really exciting. ”

"Go and go, you want to embarrass my old man, don't you? It's mainly you, me, just watching from the side...... Wouldn't that be too boring? …… It's okay, I still have an apprentice in Cuiwei, I can get under the same child as Dabao. I heard that the kid was making rapid progress......"

"Don't say it, Dabao's kid is really making rapid progress. Dabao's kid is so likable. Every time I go to Cuiwei County, I play chess with him no less than with Xiaoqiang. Hehe, Dabao's kid is so thick-skinned, he has to be on par with me every time. ”

"If you want to play chess, of course, you need to be thick-skinned. If you want to say that Dabao's child, his mouth is sweet and his face is thick. Of course it's likable...... I don't think I'm talking about chess...... Laugh, Xiao Jiang, you are still laughing! I said you, you really have to learn from other people's treasures. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a 30-year-old person, and I wouldn't be able to become a family. ”

"Ahem...... I said Mr. Xiong, let's not talk about this, by the way, what time does the ring match start? Let's watch TV and go. ”

"You, as soon as you talk about this, change the subject...... By the way, who is China attacking today? I guess it's enough to choke anyone. His opponent is Martial Palace, and against Japan's super-first-class, he has to rely on Nie Whirlwind...... Hey, our Xiaoqiang has saved so much money, why did we lose it unknowingly......"

Like Xiong Guotao, Li Xiaoqiang is also paying attention to the progress of the ring match with great interest. Although the real history has been changed beyond recognition by itself. However, Li Xiaoqiang is undoubtedly convinced that China will be able to achieve the most difficult victory!

His reasons are the same as those of many ordinary chess fans of this era:

"Because we have Nie Whirlwind!"

After Yamashiro won against Li Xiaoqiang, he won two more victories. Hiroshi Yamashiro, who won three in a row, was blocked by Qian Yuping. This process surprised Li Xiaoqiang a little. He knew that in real history, Yamashiro Hiroshi Kudan had won 5 consecutive victories.

The previous process is just a small surprise, then the next process. Li Xiaoqiang was even more surprised.

Qian Yuping lost to Masaki Takemiya after defeating Hiroshi Yamashiro. Then Masaki Takemiya also won 3 consecutive victories in one go.

At this time, there were only two people left on both sides of China and Japan. In the next game, Ma Xiaofei will challenge Masaki Takemiya in the ninth section. The time is February '88.

By this time, the process of the ring match seemed to be back to its original trajectory.

"Masaki Takemiya actually won the chess? He actually won in the ring! I don't think Takemiya has ever won a chess match in the ring, right? He's played so many times that he didn't seem to win a set. Now that he's winning. I don't know if Lu Dao will use up some of his character like Nie Whirlwind......"

This is what Li Xiaoqiang was most surprised by.

Of course, this is just Li Xiaoqiang's cranky thoughts. He didn't have much time to think about it now. That's because, 1988 has already come.

This is the first year of the internationalization of Go. It's a big time for Go!

In order to meet this big era, Li Xiaoqiang desperately enriched himself. He wants to have his own place in this great era.

Li Xiaoqiang's gaze looked in the direction of the northeast corner. He knew that the benchmark in his mind would soon usher in his first professional Go championship. Korean Go will appear in front of the world in a jaw-dropping way.

"Let's start competing now......"

Li Xiaoqiang is highly motivated. (To be continued......)
