Chapter 768 The Whetstone

"Gu Dali or Li Shitou, which one do you think is more difficult to deal with?"

"I still think it's harder to deal with the angle without bragging or being black."

"Oh? Why? In terms of results, Dali is still unable to catch up with Li Shitou. Even if they have a record of fighting with each other, Li Shitou is currently leading. How could you think Dali is more difficult to deal with?"

"Please note, I didn't say that Dali is stronger than Xiao Li, I'm just an angle." I think it's harder to play with Dali..."

After entering 2006, Gu Dali's emergence was a major event in the Chinese chess world and even the world chess world. After losing the hat of "Ancient Round", he began to show his fangs in the international arena. He also won the challenge rights of multiple titles in the domestic arena.

In such a intensive and continuous encounter with Li Xiaoqiang in the title battle, except for Ma Xiaofei back then, this was something that even Chang Rensheng did not do. Therefore, Gu Dali's performance naturally attracted everyone's attention, and the challenge he launched to Li Xiaoqiang naturally attracted a lot of attention.

After the first two rounds of the "Fujitsu Cup", Li Xiaoqiang and Gu Dali returned to China. The two were facing the finals of "Chess King Battle" and "National Player Battle". Before the five-game finals of "Chess King Battle", Zhang Da reporter conducted a brief interview with Li Xiaoqiang.

When it comes to Gu Dali, everyone will naturally compare him with Li Shitou. Of course, reporter Zhang Da is no exception. As he spoke, he asked Li Xiaoqiang what he thought of these two young people. At this time, Li Xiaoqiang also took on the airs of a senior chess player and commented on the two junior chess players with an old aura.

'Xiao Li is a chess player with very distinctive characteristics, with outstanding advantages and obvious shortcomings. Where are Xiao Li's shortcomings? I think it is mainly in the middle and front set, especially in his sequential set. To be blunt, I think Xiao Li's sequential set is weak, so when playing with him, at least most of the time I don't feel too much pressure..."

Zhang Da reporter nodded and said yes, and he agreed with Li Xiaoqiang's words. So far, Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shitou have had a lot of battles, but no matter how they go, no matter who loses and who wins, Li Xiaoqiang has established an advantage in the front set, and Li Shitou fell into a hard battle early, which has almost become a fixed routine for the competition between them.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang will lose chess. After all, chess players like Xiao Li are not able to defend against every game of chess. They have weird ideas and super attack ability. This is Xiao Li's unique skill in becoming famous and the most treasure he relies on to win. Many chess players have a headache about his move.

But others are afraid of Li Shitou's move, but Li Xiaoqiang is not afraid of it. "Li Xiaoqiang is completely unscrupulous" is not just a casual statement. Mr. Wu Qingyuan has long commented on Li Xiaoqiang: Careful thinking is actually Li Xiaoqiang's biggest advantage.

Therefore, although Xiao Li also used mysterious means to knock Li Xiaoqiang down, there were very few opportunities in general. It is precisely for this reason that if the results of both sides are counted, you will find that "Korean Li Xiaoqiang" has a bit of a terrible record in front of the real Li Xiaoqiang.

"Compared with Xiao Li, Dali's situation is completely different. Dali's sequential kung fu has been completely passed by Lao Nie's true teachings. I even think his current layout kung fu is stronger than Chang Rensheng. It is difficult for ordinary people to gain advantage in the middle and front game. This includes me. When Dali and I played chess, it is unlikely that they would gain a more obvious advantage in the middle and front game. Of course, Dali is not without shortcomings. What is his biggest shortcoming? I think it is his carefree personality. Why can't Dali achieve results before? I think this is the main reason, because of his personality, he sometimes looks a little rough when playing chess, especially at some times, his official kung fu is not fine enough..."

"... Fortunately, Dali himself also realized his problem. In recent years, he has put a little effort in this area. Now everyone should be able to see that he has been significantly enhanced in this area. When his shortcomings are compensated, it is natural for him to stand out."

"So Dali will call himself "Gu Guanzi" now, that's what it means?"

Li Xiaoqiang responded with a smile: "That's right, that's what it means."

"Do you have any prospects for the next ten-game chess with Dali?"

Li Xiaoqiang was speechless, thinking to himself, reporter Zhang Da, you are really going back and forth. Just two domestic competitions, what else can you expect? Faced with the younger chess players, would you still ask me, Li Xiaoqiang to give me a few bold words?

"Although Dali has made great progress, I think it is not enough. He deserves to achieve greater achievements and he should also show himself on a larger stage. Therefore, for the next game, my current idea is very simple. In order to better hone the young chess players, I am willing to act as the whetstone..."

Although Li Xiaoqiang boasted of himself as a whetstone, this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for him and Gu Dali's competition.

Li Xiaoqiang has been in power for too long. Everyone will pay enough attention to anyone who challenged him. Any player who is qualified to threaten Li Xiaoqiang will support him. Now, after Li Shitou, another young and outstanding chess player rushed to Li Xiaoqiang. Although it was just a civil war in China, as one of the only three players in the world who have defeated Li Xiaoqiang in chess, what can Gu Dali play with Li Xiaoqiang? Everyone will wait and see.

At the end of April 2006, the first two games of the "Chess King Battle" final were first started at the China Chess Academy. On the day of the first game, when Li Xiaoqiang came to the Chess Academy, he saw Nie Xuanfeng "teaching Gu Dali in person" from afar:

"... The first priority to play against Xiaoqiang is to keep enough patience and to deal with him slowly with the calmest mentality. It is definitely not good to be as rough as you used to be. You know... By the way, of course, it is not good to be calm. If you want to defeat Xiaoqiang, you must continue to put pressure on him during the game... You must grasp the degree of this yourself..."

Li Xiaoqiang walked to Nie Xuanfeng with a smile:

"I said Mr. Nie, this is not your game, why are you nervous?"

Old Nie glared at him: "I just don't like you, what's wrong?"

Li Xiaoqiang laughed loudly. He no longer paid attention to Nie Xuanfeng, but turned to Gu Dali: "Dali, are you ready?"

Gu Dali was naturally standing on the same front with his master: "Boss, I can't wait..."...

"So far, Xiaoqiang has been 11 consecutive dominances in the "Tianyuan Battle", and the longer one is the "national player battle". If he can defend the title this year, he will tie Ma Xiao's 13 consecutive dominances in the "Celebrity Battle". The "chess king battle" is slightly shorter, but so far last year, Xiaoqiang has also reached 8 consecutive dominances. More than that, if you add the "celebrity" he snatched from Ma Xiao in 2003, it turns out that before you know it, Xiaoqiang dominated the four major domestic challenge titles, and it is already the third year now..."

After the game between Li Xiaoqiang and Gu Dali began, everyone was idle in the viewing room of the chess academy, and they didn't know who started it. They suddenly talked about Li Xiaoqiang's record in domestic chess battles, and calculated Li Xiaoqiang's series of records that ordinary people could not reach.

"Foreign war, civil war is also an expert. What does "be strong both hands" mean? Xiaoqiang's approach is to be strong both hands, what is dominance? Xiaoqiang's true dominance is. By the way, according to our statistics, when he participated in the World Chess Holy War final at the end of last year... Yes, right, right, right, right, right, right, the fourth game of chess in the final against Xiao Li. That game is a thousand wins in Xiao Qiang's personal career. Xiao Qiang should have become a professional chess player at the age of 11? Last year, Xiao Qiang happened to be 30, and it took only 19 years to achieve a thousand wins. This record seems to be second only to Li Shifo, ranking second among all professional chess players. Although compared with the

It is not as good as Li Shifo in the past, but another record of Xiaoqiang is that Li Shifo cannot compare, and it may be that all professional players cannot reach: when Xiaoqiang achieved thousands of wins, his winning rate was as high as 82% of the terrifying tsk. Tsk, it is really unimaginable. I remember someone once commented on Mr. Wu Qingyuan like this, saying that Mr. Wu was a person sent by God to play Go on earth. By the way, there is also Li Shifo. Li Shifo in his early years was also called an alien by Koreans. If they were compared with Xiaoqiang, then what did Xiaoqiang become? I really couldn't find any suitable adjective to describe Xiaoqiang..."

After talking about these things, Lao Nie and reporter Zhang Da gathered together to swear, and at the same time they were even more looking forward to Gu Dali's performance.

The so-called records are all used to be broken.

Although Li Xiaoqiang is always writing a new history of Go every step forward. But what if Gu Dali successfully blocks Li Xiaoqiang? Isn’t this writing a new history of Go?

"Before the game, Xiaoqiang claimed that he was a whetstone. Now let's see how sharp the sword he could have..." (To be continued.)
