"Chess in the World" Grandmaster Li Laiqun Chapter 6 Happy Childhood Nourished by Hot Soil (5)

There was Bole, and then there was Maxima. "In the eyes of most people, there are many people in the world, but there are too few people who can match the maxima.

History does not make such a note.

We all know the story of Guo Kui and Maxima, who did not find Maxima, but only spent a lot of money to buy a pile of bones that are said to be Maxima.

"Lü's Spring and Autumn" tells us: Before the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were ten world-renowned soma masters on the mainland, and the horses that passed through their appearances were all the best among horses. The ten masters soma have their own tricks, and the parts of soma are different. Soma Master Cold Wind is the mouth of the observation and evaluation horse; Soma Master Ma Chao is the cheek of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Li is the eye of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Wei Ji is the beard of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Xu Contempt is the hip of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Throwing brown is the chest rib of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Guan Qing is the lips of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Chen Bei is the leg and foot of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Qin Ya is the front part of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Qin Ya is the front part of the observation product evaluation horse; Soma master Zanjun, It is the rear of the observational evaluation horse. All these ten Soma masters, one part of soma, know the height of the bone joints of the soma, the speed of the legs and feet, and the strength of the physique, in order to be high and low.

The old ancestors told us that there are many Maxima scattered in the folk, and there are also many Bole scattered in the folk.

In the chess world, Li Laiqun is a well-deserved Maxima, and his Bole is Qin Lianyuan.

The one who plays against him,

At the age of 15, in the various chess stalls where Li Laiqun was involved, the people who played against him,

Almost all of his men were defeated, and gradually more and more people came to him to play chess.

One day, a person who looked like an official came to call him to realize that his chess skills were good, and after hearing that Li Laiqun came to the door: "I heard that you played chess well, so let's play two games."

Li Laiqun did not know who was coming, and since he had come to the door, he was sure that his chess skills were extraordinary, so he sat down to play against him.

Neither of them spoke, and they began to fight.

Li Laiqun won three games in a row, and the official-looking man was convinced, he said: "Your chess is strong, I am not your opponent." You should go to the Palace of Culture to find someone, and the masters of Handan City are concentrated there, which may be good for your skills. ”

In the following period of time, Li Laiqun's idea of wanting to challenge the master of culture officials could not be changed. He had been to the square of the gymnasium to play chess, and the Palace of Culture had not yet been.

On a Sunday in the early summer of 1974, Li Laiqun carried a basket to the Workers' Cultural Palace in Handan City. On this trip, his purpose was to go to the Palace of Culture to meet the masters, grow long and insightful, and stop by to beat some grass when he returned. His father had already scolded him for being an idler, and if he didn't do anything anymore, he wouldn't mix well at home.

When he arrived at the Palace of Culture, he found that it was densely packed with chess fans. When I inquired, I learned that there happened to be a chess tournament today.

In the ring, the players were inextricably killed; under the ring, the audience watched with relish, and Li Laiqun stood in the crowd, wanting to see how the master was a master.

Li Laiqun carefully pondered every step taken by both sides, and felt that there was nothing special about the moves of attack, defense, and counter-attack, similar to the grade of chess players, he also encountered many times, and each other could win. With this thought, Li Laiqun's heart itched, and he especially wanted to stand on this platform and fight with the masters of Handan City.

A chess player in his 30s with a red nose fights with another polite man. Just at this moment, the polite man took a bad step, was seized by the red nose, flew under the general, and killed back and forth, losing soldiers one after another, unable to resist.

Seeing this, Li Laiqun's ghost made the gods squeeze over, came to the back of the polite chess player, and commanded him to jump the elephant, exchange the car, and step by step defense, so that the chess game that was about to end in an instant was supported for a long time.

The red-nosed chess player, known as the red-nosed Liu, is a first-class and second-rate master in Handan, and he is a little famous, and when he sees that this child is still quite proficient, he asks in surprise: "Hey! You boy, these few steps of the branch are not bad, let's have a plate? ”

Li Laiqun was also not polite and immediately sat down opposite him. The people watching the chess crowded around and crowded together.

Red Nose Liu smiled: "Say well, just two sets, don't cry if you lose!" ”

The two killed two sets in a row, and Li Laiqun won consecutively.

The red nose Liu not only had a red nose, but also a red face.

When Li Laiqun was proud, a person pulled him and asked, "Little fellow, haven't you ever played chess?" Where did you call? ”

The interrogator was Liu Yangxi, a native of Tianjin, who had won the runner-up of Handan City and was a first-class master of Handan.

Li Laiqun said: "I am a native of Handan, and I came here for the first time to play chess. ”

Liu Yangxi said: "You are not bad, I will accompany you to the next two plates?" ”

The spectators coaxed, "Good! Let Teacher Liu practice this little bit! ”

Li Laiqun was also not polite and immediately sat down opposite him.

Two games in a row are draws.

Liu Yangxi was a little embarrassed.

At this time, an old man dressed very well came over, and everyone looked at it and flashed a path. The old man's name is Qin Lianyuan, who is a Tianjin kuangshao before the founding of New China, and his ancestors have quite a few industries. After the "Cultural Revolution" began, he was sent to Handan and assigned to work on the municipal radio station. When the old man was young, he was infiltrated with chess and was superb at chess. But he rarely played chess, and he never participated in the game. Although he did not participate in the competition to get a ranking, his prestige in the Handan chess world was very high, and he taught many apprentices, and those apprentices also achieved great results. Therefore, he is very respected by everyone.

From the beginning of Li Laiqun's moves to the victory over the red-nosed Liu, Zhan and Liu Yangxi, Qin Lianyuan paid special attention, believing that although he was a "wild roadman", his chess style was different, he often made unexpected moves, and the subsequent lurking crises were numerous. From this, Qin Lianyuan decided that this was a new star in Handan City, a malleable talent that could be cultivated.

Qin Lianyuan sat down and made an exception and asked to play chess with Li Laiqun.

Li Laiqun was still not polite, and sat down opposite Qin Lianyuan.

Both games down, both are draws. Spectators sighed.

Qin Lianyuan was very excited, his eyes lit up, he stroked Li Laiqun's shoulder to ask long and short questions, and finally said: "In November this year, there is a workers' competition in Handan, you must sign up for it!"

Li Laiqun has been playing chess for many years, looking for people to play against in the streets and alleys, winning buns, winning many pretentious folk masters, and has not yet participated in any official competitions. I was very excited to hear that I participated in the Handan City Competition and played with real masters. He came to the Cultural Palace with a basket to play chess, and wanted to go back to the grass by the way, but this excitement forgot about the grass, so he had to hide the basket quietly in the firewood stack.

When my father came home from work, he glanced at the firewood stack and made no sound.

Li Laiqun was a student who was not allowed to participate in the workers' competition as required.

However, the battle of the Cultural Palace made him a news figure and caused a sensation in the entire Handan chess community.

Qin Lianyuan communicated with many parties to help Li Laiqun qualify for the competition, but he needed to open a letter of introduction to prove that he was a worker.

At that time, it was not difficult to issue such a certificate, and without taking the union's salary, the union could find someone to open it.

The point is that this introduction letter has to be told to the father to open, and if he does not pay attention to it, this matter cannot be done.

In the following days, Li Laiqun behaved very well, going to school on time, returning to school on time, and when he arrived home, he either went to mow the grass or did his homework. Whenever my father came home, he saw that Li Laiqun was not idle. Taking advantage of his father's good looks, Li Laiqun boldly proposed to participate in the city's chess tournament and begged his father to open the letter of introduction to the bureau union.

His father did not pay attention to him, and Li Laiqun also felt that there was no hope.

When I got home from work the next day, my father threw the letter of introduction from the bureau on the dinner table and said nothing. Li Laiqun picked up the letter and flew all the way to the city radio station to hand it to Qin Lianyuan.

The first time he participated in the official competition, Li Laiqun's heart beat violently. Especially when the clock of the game was pressed, he was stunned. On weekdays, I play "wild road" chess, I have never seen this thing, nor have I developed the habit of taking a step and pressing it, often going down for half a day, the clock has not been pressed, and the referee must remind him to press. At this time, the heart that was already beating violently was even calmer. Coupled with the desire to win, he was always in a state of high tension during the game, and finally played poorly, 50 people competed, he only won the 10th place.

Li Laiqun was very dissatisfied and felt that he had not lowered his due level.

Qin Lianyuan always stared at Li Laiqun, he did not participate, but every round under Li Laiqun's participation and every son he walked, he looked at it carefully.

Qin Lianyuan is worthy of the modern Bole, with unique insight, not only knowing people and being good at their duties, but also having the courage to recommend people. The seniors of the handan chess community have been discussing going out, and the latest plan is to go to Hebi City, Henan Province, to engage in chess exchange competitions. This workers' chess tournament is to select excellent representatives. According to the convention, 4 representatives are generally selected, which is the top 4 places in this competition.

However, when determining the candidates for the competition, Qin Lianyuan vigorously ignored the public opinion and insisted that Li Laiqun participate in the competition. The publication of the list has aroused widespread discussion in society.

The person who won the 4th place in this competition was not convinced, saying: "I have to be 4th place and not let go, call a 10th place to go, what is the matter?" ”

Some people also say that Laiqun is still a child, playing chess has no foundation, it is completely based on interest, interest has come up, can take a few steps of good chess, once frustrated, it is finished!

Qin Lianyuan's explanation was: "If we want to improve the grade of chess in Handan, we must cultivate new talents. Go to Hebi to participate in the competition, go to some half-old men, even if you win, how meaningful is it! If the chess game in Handan wants to develop, it must be called to the group, and it must cultivate new people! ”

Facts finally proved that Qin Lianyuan did not look away.

Representing Handan to Hebi to compete, Li Laiqun was very proud. Hebi is located in the northern part of Henan Province, at the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains, connected to the North China Plain, and the QiHe River meanders through its territory, with beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, which is sung by the Book of Poetry. At the site of the Hebi Ji kiln north of the Yellow River, porcelain chess pieces made in the Song Dynasty have been unearthed.

Hebi people have also been keen on chess activities.

For Hebi, Li Laiqun is no stranger.

During the Battle of the Cultural Palace, a purchaser who watched the battle was a Hebi person, and he saw that Li Laiqun was young and had extraordinary chess strength, so he encouraged him to go to his hometown of Hebi to play chess.

The buyer's language is very provocative: "Hebi is as good as a cloud, you will definitely be able to see it for a long time!" ”

Up to now, Li Laiqun did not know where the momentum came from, he actually took 3 yuan with great interest in the summer of 1974, really followed the buyer. He distributed these 3 dollars quite reasonably: 1 dollar to go, 1 dollar to go back, 1 dollar to be pocket money.

He spent 1 yuan to buy a ticket to Hebi, grabbed the remaining 2 yuan, and lived in the buyer's hometown for a week.

Now that I think about it, it is only a very small village, and there are many people in the village who love to play chess, but there are no masters. Within a week, Li Laiqun had confronted almost all chess enthusiasts. A record of not losing a set is a complete victory. As a result, those chess players did not leave too deep an impression on him, and what he still remembered to this day was the hot soup noodles, with eggs lying in the soup noodles, and a large bowl of noodles with soup poured down, not to mention how comfortable. Hebi people are very hospitable, making soup noodles and laying eggs every day to entertain Li Laiqun.

The next impression is the small river next to the village, and on the day when no one comes to play chess, Li Laiqun goes to the river to catch fish, and every day is happy and fulfilling.

A few days later, Li Laiqun spent 1 yuan to buy a return ticket. Because of the warm hospitality of the buyer's family, the 1 yuan that was originally prepared for pocket money was returned.

Of course, I didn't go to that small village in this exchange competition. The exchange competitions were also attended by Henan masters, including Sun Shengke, who had won the Henan Provincial Chess Championship.

Before the competition, Liu Yangxi suggested that Li Laiqun make the first set, thinking that this child had momentum and courage. But Qin Lianyuan thought about it again and again, and felt that sending a child to take the lead was disrespectful to the other party. So the first set was abandoned, and Li Laiqun played the second set.

The total score of Handan in this exchange match was lost to Hebi, but Li Laiqun won a complete victory, not even a game of chess.

Li Laiqun's performance shocked all the contestants, and people lamented that the child's future was unlimited.

After the game, someone coaxed: "Sun Shengke, you have not won the Henan championship, you have not yet played with the group, you have a friendly match, let us all open our eyes." ”

At first, Sun Shengke was reluctant to accept the offer, but he could not stand the crowd from coaxing, and after thinking about it again, he reluctantly agreed to the people's proposal.

There were many people watching, and Sun Shengke was very calm at first, and it didn't take long for his indifferent expression to hang up. Li Laiqun and Sun Shengke killed two sets in a row, and Li Laiqun won 1 and drew 1.

Sun Shengke, who originally wanted to guide Li Laiqun, actually did not open, and suddenly felt that his face was lost and he was sweating.

The Battle of Hebi further strengthened Qin Lianyuan's confidence in cultivating and supporting Li Laiqun.

"Chess in the World" Grandmaster Li Laiqun Chapter 6 Happy Childhood Nourished by Hot Soil (5)

Exactly in December 1974, the Hebei Provincial Chess Tournament was held in Handan, and the organizing committee of the competition stipulated that each city and each region should send one team member to participate. Li Laiqun's best result was the tenth place in Handan City, and he did not qualify for this competition. With the advantage of geographical advantages, Qin Lianyuan and Handan's chess predecessors repeatedly sought the provincial sports committee and the organizing committee of the competition to compete for Li Laiqun. After repeated explanations and recommendations, the organizing committee of the competition agreed to Li Laiqun's participation, but the condition was to count the results, not the rankings.

As soon as Li Laiqun came on the field, the opponent he encountered was the champion of the Tangshan region, Jin Cailian.

Jin Cailian is a peasant chess player who won the first place in the chess competition in the Tangshan area. The first place in Tangshan City was Liu Dianzhong, and the second place was Cheng Fuchen. Cheng Fuchen has a deep foundation in chess strength, a steady chess style, and many offensive and defensive routines. Although Jin Cailian won the Tangshan regional championship, he was not an opponent to get down with Cheng Fu. However, according to the regulations of the organizing committee of the competition, Cheng Fuchen is the second in Tangshan City and is not eligible to participate. It is said that Cheng Fuchen secretly sought out Jin Cailian to do work and asked him to give up the quota for the competition, and Cheng Fuchen offered a salary for several months. This was a significant amount at the time. But Jin Cai didn't even do it, saying, "No! I'm going to the game, I'm going to the province! ”

Jin Cailian participated in the provincial chess competition, wearing a set of black cotton clothes and cotton pants, cotton pants and pants have a large mouth, no need to tie a belt, fold on both sides, and then tuck in. Over time, the cotton clothes and cotton pants were polished. But he didn't care, "I'm a peasant chess player, don't the farmers in Hebei all dress like this?" It doesn't matter if the clothes are shiny and shiny, how can you wash such thick cotton clothes and cotton pants? ”

Li Laiqun against Jin Cailian soon won.

Jin Cailian did not even do it, and he had to repent.

Li Laiqun agreed.

A look at the regret of that move is not enough, proposed to re-compare.

Li Laiqun still agreed.

The referee disagreed and awarded consecutive losses.

Li Laiqun felt very cordial about Jin Cailian's practice of repenting chess. He crouched in alleys and under street lamps to play chess with people, and didn't he often encounter opponents who had to regret chess and not accept defeat!

With a sense of intimacy, Li Laiqun was willing to have more contact with Jin Cailian and sat at a table for the first time. Jin Cailian is a peasant chess player, and the organizing committee of the competition has waived his food stamps.

Li Laiqun found that after eating, Jin Cai could not even leave, and finally left, and before leaving, he gathered up the rest of his slow head. Li Laiqun asked him what he was doing with the steamed buns, and he said that he would go back and let his family eat them, and the family could not eat such white-faced steamed buns.

The next day, Li Laiqun took four noodle bags from home and handed them to Jin Cailian, saying that he would pack steamed buns when he returned.

Since then, Li Laiqun has also left at the end of each meal, and he has helped Jin Cailian to collect all the steamed buns that he did not eat and ate half from each table.

In this competition, Jin Cailian was eliminated early. But he collected the four-sided bag of steamed buns, and when he left, the two bags in front and the two bags in the back were put on his body, and he left happily.

Looking at jin Cailian's departing back, Li Laiqun couldn't close his mouth happily. He said: Think about the scene at that time, it is like a painting of a harvest farmer, it is very beautiful! ”

In this provincial chess competition, Li Laiqun, who only counted the results regardless of the ranking, won the first place in the C group.

After that, Li Laiqun longed for all opportunities to learn from the game against the masters, and longed for all the theoretical knowledge related to chess. Bole Qin Lianyuan gave him great help.

Qin Lianyuan gave Li Laiqun a chess book, which was a bound edition of the Monthly Magazine of Chess in Guangzhou from 1958 to 1966, which contained many famous games. With this chess game, it is like having a magical weapon. For a long time, Li Laiqun's spirit was in an extremely high state, and he began to make full use of his free time every day. At first, he mechanically imitated the chess game of the famous masters, and gradually he began to develop an artistic and pleasant understanding of the art of chess, and became aware of it, he learned the subtleties of attack and defense from the chess sheet, learned the tricks and tricks in it, and understood the skills of foreseeing the development of the chess before a few moves, making arrangements early, and suddenly launching a counterattack.

In the spring of 1975, Wang Zhiqi, who was seven years older than Li Laiqun, came to the door: "Come to the group, let's play a hundred games of chess, let me see how your level is?" ”

At that time, when playing chess, before the two sides sat down, they had to recite Chairman Mao's quotations. They play chess alone, although there is no outsider, but this program is inevitable.

Wang Zhiqi has good chess skills and is known as the second in Handan.

Li Laiqun immersed himself in the chess game for a period of time, and was trying to find someone to practice and test his understanding from practice. The two people pulled away and intermittently played for nearly a month, a total of more than thirty sets, and Li Laiqun won more than twenty sets. Wang Zhiqi was convinced and said: "Come to the group, I am really not your opponent, after a hundred games of chess, my failure record will be even greater, in the future, you will find more masters to go down, I can't accompany you." ”

All incentives are blind, unless there is knowledge.

All knowledge is in vain, unless there is perseverance in the heart.

When knowledge is integrated with the persistence of the heart, the future road will gradually become clear, and the steps will be firm and steady.
