In the first five Fujitsu Cups, Ma Xiaochun participated in four sessions. Except for the third time, he did not play in the third edition, he reached the quarterfinals in the first, second and fourth editions, and further advanced in the fifth edition, reaching the final four, and lost to Hero Otake in the semi-finals.
Ma Xiaochun, the 6th Fujitsu Cup, is the natural candidate for the Chinese Legion, and he is looking forward to going further. Ma Xiao, who was a seeded player in the first round of the bye, drew against Japan's strong kudan Awaji Shuzo in the second round, which is a difficult opponent.
As we introduced earlier, Ma Xiaochun of the second Fujitsu Cup was promoted to the quarterfinals after defeating Awaji Shuzo, but that game of chess and horse can be described as nine deaths. Prior to that, in the 1987 Sino-Japanese match, Awaji had defeated Ma Xiaochun 2-1 in three wins and losses. Awaji chess style is tough and tough, has a "muddy stream" reputation, also known as the Rocky of the Go world (stallone played by tough guy boxer), he has won the right to challenge Japan's seven major chess battles many times, although he failed to reach the top, he has always been regarded as a first-class strongman.
From 1992 to 1993, it was the period when Shuzo Awaji broke out on the international arena, during which the seventh Sino-Japanese ring match was held, and Ma Xiaochun, as the vice coach of the Chinese team, was ordered to be in danger, and the three masters of Kobayashi Kyaw, Hiroshi Yamashiro and Satoshi Kataoka helped the Chinese team equalize, which was generally favored before the confrontation with the Japanese vice coach Shuzo Awaji. Unexpectedly, in the battle of the vice marshals held on March 18, 1993, Awaji played well, and won a big victory in the black 7 and a half eyes, which shattered Ma Xiaochun's ambition to close the ring alone.
Just eighteen days later, the two met again in the quarterfinals of the sixth Fujitsu Cup, and Ma's demon knife naturally longed for revenge, and pre-match public opinion also believed that this was a game with a high probability of winning by the Chinese team in the second round.

First spectrum 1-50
Like the battle of the vice generals in the 7th Sino-Japanese Ring, Shuzo Awaji was also the first to take the lead in this game.
Until Black 19, compared with the battle in the ring, except for the upper left white 2 Xiaomu who was walking in the star position at that time, the rest were exactly the same, which also showed the mentality of the two competing.
White 20 changed moves, the last game Ma Xiao was directly 28-bit hanging horn, was preemptively moved by the black chess on the right side, and the loss on the ground was not small.
Awaji's fighting spirit is extremely high, in the case of white 20 has been supplemented, and white 30 big jump, black 31, 33 still have to be instigated on the right, it looks like the style is not high, but it is really a headache.
White 40 wins on the right, and the black chess piece also splits the white piece, attacking the white chess dragon in the right side.
Black 45 pull too strong, it is better to single back.
Black 47, 49 continue to use strong, white 50 rely on is a good hand.
Second Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 51-100)
Black 1 is really tenacious!
White 2 break, the counterattack of the demon knife.
To the white 10 long, the white chess situation takes the initiative.
Black 11 stand, take back to the right,
White 12 is better to go 17 bits wrench.
Black 13 below and then disconnected the white chess, the winding of the awaji is really good.
Black 23 turns, white chess dragon needs to deal with.
White 26, 28 eat and live a son, live chess is not a problem.
White 30 and 32 are fighting here, and the situation of Ma Xiao is still optimistic.
White 34 is not necessary, directly go 35 bits to make up for it, black chess still has to deal with a hand, white chess has to play chess on the left side first, which will be a clear advantage.
Black 35 good hands, and finally white 46, 48 need to do the eye.
The black chess piece that gets the first hand is started first on the lower left, and the situation is chaotic.
Third Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 101-150)
Black 1 leans on, forming a situation where several pieces of chess on both sides are not alive.
Black 9 flies in town, and white chess is more passive.
White 14 does robbery tenaciously.
White 28 on the left to find robbery, black 29 here, the thickness of the two sides is very different.
Black 35 is basically the first hand, but Ma Xiaochun may feel that the situation is not optimistic, and White 36 brazenly took the lead, leaving a huge hidden danger in the robbery.
The upper left swapped white chess pieces walked on the periphery, and also looked forward to a counterattack on the black chess midfield.
Fourth Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 151-200)
Black 5 and 7 digging sticks are eclectic and adept at lighting up, usually being eaten by the white 10 first hand and can't stand it, but black 9 disconnects the white chess piece, which is more important at this time.
After the black chess was ready, the black 17 and 19 pounced, and the white chess was suddenly difficult to handle.
Black 23 and 27 as robbery materials, white chess can not cope with it.
Black 31 consecutive pulls, white 32 strong attack on the upper left, in order to achieve a success.
White 40 times back, asking for black chess stick robbery, and there is also a kill in the middle abdomen.
The more courageous the awase of the Vietnam War continued to fight, the white 44 was immediate, the black 45 was destroyed, and the white chess piece was completely destroyed.
White 46 below can only expect to annihilate the black chess pieces above.
Fifth Spectrum 1-33 (i.e. 201-233)
Black 1 and 3 are the first hand, black 5 below make an eye on the top, and the main body lives out.
The white chess piece that only eats the tail of the black chess piece is obviously insufficient.
White 14 or below, because his horns are not alive, can not break the left eye position of the black chess.
Ma Xiaochun took a few more hands to adjust his mood and cast a vote after judging the situation clearly.
Eighteen days later, the demon knife was once again smashed by the fist of "Rocky", and Ma Xiaochun went out to the Fujitsu Cup for the first time without a win, missing the quarterfinals, and during that time, the adversity accidentally became his bitter hand. Of course, in the future, the two will still have a strange fate - in the fourth Ying Cup in 2000, Awaji's victory has been timed by the finalist who did not pay attention to eating, and was overturned by Ma Xiaochun and became an interesting talk.
After Shuzo Awaji won the game, he had an even better performance in this Fujitsu Cup. On May 10 of the same year, in the twelfth match of the 7th China-Japan Ring, he narrowly defeated The Chinese coach Nie Weiping, becoming the third finisher in Japan after Taisho Hane and Masao Kato, helping the Japanese team to win the total score of the ring to three wins and four losses. It can be said that more than a year was the brightest moment in the international chess battle of Shuzo Awaji.
