At the end of March 2031, Li Xiaoqiang¡¯s hometown Ganyuan was the venue for this year¡¯s ¡°Top Ten Chinese Go Tournament¡± finals. ¡°Since it was Li Lin and I who reached the finals, I would like to make a request to the organizer. Can I play a special game of chess with him?¡± Everyone was elated and in high spirits. This is Li Xiaoqiang vs Li Lin. The former world chess master faced off against the current world chess master, a rare father-son final in the world of chess. What's more, this is Li Xiaoqiang's first official competition in more than 10 years. Although he has not played chess for so many years, Li Xiaoqiang still won all 4 games in the group stage, achieving a father-son chess match in this way. Is there anything more interesting than this? Is there a better gimmick than this? So in this case, it seems that Li Xiaoqiang can be forgiven for making slightly excessive demands. The so-called "special chess" in Li Xiaoqiang's mouth is probably the 21st chess board, right? According to rumors in the world, Li Xiaoqiang has been specializing in the 21st chessboard for so many years. Since his opponent this time is his son, it seems logical that Li Xiaoqiang should be allowed to be willful for once. Li Lin smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he was very eager to play against his father on the 19-way chessboard, since his father made this request: "Since you want to win so much, I have to let you win once" Li Lin thought in his heart That's what I thought. To be honest, the shadow of the previous games had not dissipated. Li Lin had no confidence that he could defeat his father on the 21st chess board. Li Xiaoqiang smiled and said to Li Lin: "This time, I want to play a game with you on the seventeen-way chessboard." "Ah?!" This year's "Top Ten Battle" finals were agreed upon, and Li Xiaoqiang and Li Lin were in the top ten. A battle begins on a seven-way chessboard. As a result of the competition, Li Xiaoqiang ended up with a small loss, and Li Lin won this year's "Top Ten Battle" championship. After losing the game, Li Xiaoqiang frowned slightly and sighed softly. During this final, Zhao Dabao returned to his hometown to watch the game. Because Li Xiaoqiang returned to the arena, retired Zhang Da reporter also came to watch the game. "I just don't understand" Zhao Dabao said to reporter Zhang Da: "Why has this guy Xiaoqiang always liked to play these tricks for so many years? Will he die in the next official game if he plays well?" "I didn't understand before. , but seeing him playing chess on the seventeen-way chessboard today, I seem to understand. " "Oh? What do you know?" Reporter Zhang Da sighed softly: "Over the years, Xiaoqiang has never given up his pursuit of chess. He still hopes that his chess skills can continue to improve. " Zhao Dabao looked at reporter Zhang Da with a look like a fool: "Ha, I know you are an admirer of Xiaoqiang, but don't say it like a crazy fan. Isn¡¯t it so sensational for a literary youth?¡± ¡°Dabao, what do you think is the most difficult thing in Go?¡± ¡°Wellaccording to professional players, the most difficult thing in Go is judgment, right?¡± So Dabao, do you think that with the level Xiaoqiang has reached, if he continues to use ordinary methods, such as persisting on the 19-way chessboard, his judgment ability can be greatly improved? " "This" Zhao Dabao? After thinking for a while, he suddenly jumped up when he figured it out; "You mean, Xiaoqiang has studied the 21st chessboard for so many years, and he just wants to continue to make breakthroughs in judgment?" "Of course!" Reporter Zhang Da First, he answered Zhao Dabao's words in the affirmative, and then sighed: "Only Xiaoqiang dares to think of this method, and only Xiaoqiang dares to do it. As we all know, the judgment ability of professional chess players is honed over thousands of times, and there is too much in it. If you want to continue to improve on this basis, you must first break the original mindset" "Break and then build! Is this what he means? This is why he has refused to participate in official competitions for so many years. The reason, right?¡± Reporter Zhang Da looked at Zhao Dabao and nodded slightly: ¡°To be honest, I was a little bit unconvinced that you defeated me last time, but since you can say such things today, it seems that I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a fluke that you won. Xiaoqiang hasn¡¯t played official games in these years. It¡¯s not that he has given up on Go, but that he is still pursuing progress.¡± ¡°So, what do you think, Xiaoqiang? Will he succeed? " Reporter Zhang was silent for a while. He looked at Li Xiaoqiang who was reviewing the situation with his son not far away. Reporter Zhang suddenly smiled: "I don't know whether he will succeed. The only thing I know now is that Xiaoqiang should It will take some time to train, and when he can defeat Li Lin on the seventeen-way chessboard" "that will be the time for him to challenge the "chess god"!
