By chance, he joined the "Longyi Research Association" and became the first official member of the research society, so in the next period of time, Li Xiangping was happy, and he got a lot of opportunities to "open a small stove".

This situation is actually not surprising, because this "Longyi Research Association" itself was established by Nie Ma and the two of them to strengthen the training of disciples, and the first charter set by the two of them is that the members who enter the research society in the future will have an internal round-robin competition every week and every month, and the winners will get the opportunity for the two of them to be guided individually.

But now, there is only Li Xiangping in the entire research society, and the other members are still being selected, not to mention that this research association is still a new thing, a new thing proposed by Nie Ma and the others themselves. And people, of course, keep enough enthusiasm for new things, so at the very beginning, who did the two of them not "guide" Li Xiangping to instruct?

So in this way, in the next nearly half a month, in Lao Cai's "Fangyuan Chess and Card Room", Li Xiangping took turns to accept the guidance of Nie Ma and the two, except for a few days when they had a game or other things, almost a game of high-quality guidance chess a day.

For such happiness, to be honest, even Li Xiangping himself is a little strange, he is not strange about Lao Nie, because according to Li Xiangping's understanding of Lao Nie, according to his character, it is not surprising that he has such a high enthusiasm now, what really makes him strange is Ma Xiaofei, isn't he the same existence as "scattered immortals" in the Go world? It's because he has to look at him more to do this.

Why was he looked at by Ma Xiaofei, Li Xiangping didn't have time to think, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, he knows that the treatment he enjoys now, or the resources he has, it should be unprecedented in the Go world, from the "Seven Little Dragons" to Gu Kong and others, I am afraid that there has never been such a learning condition, if he can't even seize this kind of opportunity, then it really can't be said.

The time came to the end of January 2001, and on this day, it was Ma Xiaofei and Li Xiangping's turn to play chess, and today Nie Ma was present at the same time. When everything was over, Ma Xiaofei smiled at Li Xiangping:

"Okay, today is the last set, and the next time we play against each other, I hope it's an official match."

Li Xiangping nodded, and he said to Ma Xiaofei from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Mr. Ma, by the way, I hope you can successfully defend your title this time and achieve ten consecutive hegemony." ”

Of course, Li Xiangping knows that this is the last game, you must know that although Lao Nie has begun to play "Happy Go", Ma Xiao is still on the front line, although his dominance in China is not as good as in previous years, but he still maintains several domestic titles on his head. For example, this time, he is about to go to other places to participate in this year's "Celebrity War" decisive battle, and the challenger is Chang Hao Jiudan.

Ma Xiaofei waved his hand: "Thank you, I want to thank you too......" Speaking of this, he turned to Lao Nie and smiled:

"Lao Nie, believe it or not, Xiao Chang wasn't very arrogant some time ago, but this time in the celebrity competition, I am confident that he will be beaten all over the ground to find teeth."

Old Nie laughed, and didn't care about Ma Xiaofei saying this: "Haha, is it? What kind of extent is that a full search for teeth? ”

Ma Xiaofei smiled slightly: "Of course, just defending the title is not a skill, so let's do it, if I can't keep him clean this time, then it won't be counted as him looking for teeth all over the ground." ”

Lao Nie continued to laugh: "Blow, you just keep blowing, Xiangping, you see it, others say that my Lao Nie loves to brag, in fact, your teacher Ma bragging is the real boundless." ”

Li Xiangping smirked, not knowing how to answer the words of the two bigwigs in the Go world.

At this time, Ma Xiaofei continued to speak, he did not say anything about the celebrity war, but said to Li Xiangping:

"Okay, don't talk about him about the Masters, since it's the last game today, let's talk about your problem."

Li Xiangping put away his smirk, since this guidance has come to an end for the time being, then Ma Xiaofei's next words should be regarded as "concluding statements", Li Xiangping wants to hear what he has to say.

Ma Xiaofei looked at Li Xiangping's eyes: "Your chess is very strong, unexpectedly strong, I have played with you for so many days, I feel that I have gained a lot, so I was really not polite just now, you don't have to thank me, I actually learned a lot from you." ”

Ma Xiaofei paused, and then continued to smile and said: "Of course, whether it is me or Teacher Nie, the current chess is like this, it is impossible to make any substantial progress, but you are different, you still have a lot of room for improvement, I heard Teacher Nie say that he once helped you check the pulse, saying that you have the habit of "hating the void", and you yourself also want to get rid of this problem, right?" ”

Hearing Ma Xiaofei's words, Li Xiangping nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, Ma Xiaofei's words were said to his heart, his "plug-in" wants to upgrade, isn't this the first level that must be passed? That's the thing he's been thinking about the most lately.

"Teacher Ma, do you have any good ideas?"

Ma Xiaofei smiled: "Of course there is no good way, but after all, I can play chess a few years longer than you, and I can still make suggestions to you." ”

Li Xiangping couldn't wait: "Teacher Ma, say it quickly." ”

Ma Xiaofei stared at Li Xiangping's eyes again: "First of all, everyone thinks that "hating the sky" is a shortcoming, but if you think about it seriously, is this kind of way really all wrong?" In other words, is "hating emptiness" completely useless? ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Li Xiangping couldn't answer, Ma Xiaofei smiled: "Xiangping, I'll tell you the bottom, Teacher Nie and I have played so many games with you these days, in fact, both of us feel a little overwhelmed, do you know what you make us the most uncomfortable?" Let me tell you, in fact, it is your way of "hating emptiness", so this may be considered a shortcoming, but it is actually your biggest characteristic or specialty. ”

Li Xiangping turned to Lao Nie in disbelief, you must know that these days, Lao Nie has already told himself N games of chess, as long as he mentions "hating the sky", he has never heard a good word from his mouth, and he was almost squirted out of Xiang, is he really like Ma Novel?

Seeing Li Xiangping looking at him, Lao Nie said as a matter of course: "Of course, everything has two sides, this is dialectics.... By the way, you are still young, and you may not understand what dialectics is, but Li Xiangping, let me tell you, people who play Go, then you must understand some dialectics, just take "hating the sky" as an example, this is a kind of aggressive play, which may be considered a shortcoming in many cases, but from another point of view, this kind of play is actually positive, active, and even sharp, as far as your "hating the sky" is concerned, it often gives me and Mr. Ma a headache, and he and I often sigh in private, saying why is your guy's body so good, There are so many unexpected little tricks. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiaofei laughed, Li Xiangping also smiled embarrassedly, and then Ma Xiaofei continued:

"The reason why Teacher Nie and I mentioned this first is that I hope you must pay attention to this issue in your future training, as Teacher Nie said, dialectics! It's a good thing that you can realize that hating the void is a problem, but you can't correct the mistake in order to correct the mistake, everything has to go with the flow, otherwise after a while, your hatred of the void may be gone, but at the same time, you may also lose your characteristics and specialties, and if you lose these things, your chess may become mediocre, so it will not be beautiful. ”

Li Xiangping was speechless when he heard it, because he was not really a 13-year-old child after all, he could understand what the two of them meant, and he also knew that what they said was very reasonable, and it was precisely because of this that Li Xiangping didn't know what to do next.

And at this time, Ma Xiaofei's words sounded again:

"So in order to get rid of the problem of hating the sky, pay attention, it is to get rid of this problem in maintaining the characteristics of your sharp chess style, I think you can do this when you train next......"

"What should I do?"

Feeling Li Xiangping's impatience, Ma Xiaofei smiled: "I think you can try more extreme chess in the next step, for example, extreme land chess, extreme momentum chess, in short, at the beginning of the game, deliberately choose some difficult openings, deliberately play some excessive chess, so that over time, you may be able to slowly get rid of this problem." ”

Li Xiangping was skeptical, but he was about to ask, "Do these work?" But this sentence was not asked.

Because at this time, he heard his plug-in talking to himself:

"Alas, this insight is also admired! Xiangping Xiaoyou, I heard you say that this person once wrote a book of "Go and Thirty-six Strategies", known as the wisdom of the chess world, now it seems that this person is indeed worthy of his name, what he said just now is indeed a good law, then our next step, let's do it according to this person's method. ”

Well? Although Li Xiangping himself doesn't know what the use of training like this is, since Shi Daqi Saint approves of it, Li Xiangping naturally has nothing to say.

"Okay Mr. Ma, I'll follow your suggestions in the next step."
