Chapter 279: On the Right Path
When Li Xiaoqiang finally found an opportunity to attack, in addition to not knowing what Qian Yuping's mood was, all the chess players watching the game looked elated.
That's the way it is in domestic competitions, there is no obvious inclination. Who wins and who loses has little to do with you. It's like a group of people watching the excitement, and of course everyone wants the scene to be as hot as possible.
Li Xiaoqiang played a "rushing" move, which was not a good move. and the "magic hand", which can't even get close to the edge. He just looked for an opportunity and made a very chaotic situation on the board. But it must be admitted that when the game is carried out to this time. Li Xiaoqiang did realize the strategy he formulated before the game, and he made the opponent unable to "control" comfortably. From this point of view, Li Xiaoqiang's strategic intentions were successful.
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang realized his intention, but it does not mean that he has gained an advantage in this game of chess. In Li Xiaoqiang's plan, using such an approach may be able to suppress the opponent's strengths and limit his play. But Li Xiaoqiang himself is actually not good at this kind of play.
Li Xiaoqiang believes that he is still in a stage of chess, and in such a period, it is not a bad thing to try all kinds of plays. In essence, Li Xiaoqiang is a chess lover. There are not so many rules and regulations in my heart. Top chess players are often full of personality. The way you like to play and the Go philosophy you adhere to often will not change easily. As a result, a variety of so-called "chess styles" have been formed.
Li Xiaoqiang is an amateur, and in his heart, he has no prejudice against various chess styles. For example, he likes Wu Gong's "cosmic flow", but he will not be prejudiced against Zhao Zhixun and Chen Xiaoqiang's "ditch flow". Nie Whirlwind's kind of flowing clouds and water, majestic style he likes. Li Shishi's ghostly and ghostly methods, he also did not reject them.
It is precisely because Li Xiaoqiang is a person who purely likes Go, when he chooses Go in his life, then he has a dream in his heart, a dream of "learning from others". Li Xiaoqiang even thinks. Such an idea should be regarded as its own advantage.
Go is actually very particular about "children's skills". Compared with other children, although Li Xiaoqiang started at the beginning, his starting point was a little higher. But because he is mentally an adult, he must have more distractions than other children. This is actually not good for the improvement of the level. But Li Xiaoqiang has such an advantage, and there is no prejudice in his heart.
Let's compare him to Chang Rensheng. When Chang Rensheng first learned Go, he was still on a blank sheet of paper, and he didn't have any specific concept of what a "good way to play" was. He is constantly learning and improving. Slowly form your own Go philosophy. Such a thing is better than pure, and the disadvantage is that it is more stubborn. Deep-rooted things are not so easy to change
But Li Xiaoqiang is different, he is a person who "returns to the furnace" and re-cultivates. In terms of "purity", he certainly cannot be compared with others. Such a shortcoming, he must rely on his love of Go to make up for it. By the time he "returned", he had already been exposed to various genres of Go. Therefore, in his mind, how to integrate various specialties. became his main choice. Or rather, his ambition.
On the surface, Li Xiaoqiang's thinking seems to be more advanced. This is not the case. In most cases, it's always good to be able to learn from others. But Go is special. Because Go is so broad and profound. The vast majority of chess players, even if they are "specialized in one skill". Nor can they be at the top of their field in this field. Just like Li Shifo, he seems to be "specializing in one skill". The internal power is pure. When he cultivated this kung fu to "dominate the world", he became a generation of grandmasters.
Li Xiaoqiang's idea of "learning from others' strengths" may be good. But what about the end result? Now no one can know. Li Xiaoqiang himself didn't know. It is probably also a high-minded idea. In the end, practice a "four dislikes", and then laugh and be generous, this possibility also exists. Considering the complexity of Go. Li Xiaoqiang even believes that this possibility is actually greater.
Despite this, Li Xiaoqiang still wants to choose such a path. The first reason is that he is not confident in his Go talent. No matter how pure his internal skills are, he doesn't think he can surpass Li Shifo in this aspect. The second reason, of course, is the mentality of the reborn. Since I have chosen the path of Go. If you don't feel the various wonders of Go, you will definitely be unwilling in your heart. I will feel that I have lived in vain in this life, and I am sorry for the title of reborn.
For example, in today's game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang chose this way to play. Of course, there is the idea of "suppressing the opponent's strengths", but from the perspective of the game, Li Xiaoqiang's choice is not wise. Because of this kind of play, Li Xiaoqiang himself is also not good at it. Opponents may be caught off guard, but Li Xiaoqiang's own risk is greater. Again, he wasn't sure.
But Li Xiaoqiang will choose this way. In many cases, the different ideas and ways of playing Go cannot be comprehended by just playing music and learning. You have to try and try, you have to practice in a competitive atmosphere. Only by doing this can you have a personal experience. It is possible to gain comprehension in the grinding.
Today's game of chess is one of Li Xiaoqiang's attempts. After being reborn, Li Xiaoqiang has always considered himself lucky. For example, compared to Chang Rensheng, he didn't have many such opportunities at this stage.
The game continues step by step, and the rest of the game seems to have completely entered uncharted territory. In such a situation, it is easy for both sides to "go in and out wrongly". Of course, such "wrong in and wrong out" does not refer to specific means, but in judgment, both sides may make mistakes in and out.
With so many clues on the board, there are a lot of pieces on both sides that are not completely settled. In such a situation, there may not be a very clear "main line" on the chessboard, such as Li Xiaoqiang who played a move later, from the surface. There is nothing wrong with his move, he is strengthening his own weak chess while threatening the safety of his opponent's other big dragon. But from the overall point of view, is his move necessarily correct? Not necessarily, I'm afraid.
Locally, Li Xiaoqiang's specific methods may be fine. But in the big picture, his move may be small. The reason why Li Xiaoqiang played this move was because in his judgment, this move was the "biggest". It could also be the "most urgent". But on the board, it is entirely possible that there is another, bigger and more urgent move. If you have a lot of clues, it is possible to have a few big moves with similar moves. Just according to Li Xiaoqiang's current level. He can't fully judge and prioritize them yet.
In the same way, Qian Yuping may not be able to judge clearly. Of course, he made mistakes sometimes. For example, in the example just now, if his judgment is the same as Li Xiaoqiang's, then he will follow. In this way, Li Xiaoqiang took advantage. What if he finds the bigger and more urgent move? Then Li Xiaoqiang may have to suffer.
Similar to such a judgment, let alone the current Li Xiaoqiang and Qian Yuping. Even many top players may not be able to judge correctly. For example, there are many situations in Go that the top players will argue endlessly. They'll all think their choice is okay. And other people's choices are wrong. In this, in addition to the so-called "chess style" problem. I'm afraid the difference in judgment between the masters is also the main reason.
Once, Hideyuki Fujisawa and Masaki Takemiya were arguing over the specific tactics of a complicated situation. Both men thought their moves were the right thing to do, and they argued there. At that moment, Zhao Zhixun happened to walk over. The two then asked him to come over and see who was more correct. Who knew that after analyzing the entire chess game, Zhao Zhixun unceremoniously denied the opinions of both people. He directly gave the third option.
Speaking of which, Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa and Mr. Masaki, the military attaché. The two of them still have a lot to figure out about the concept of Go. Naturally, Mr. Zhao Zhixun's choice will definitely not be in their eyes. Zhao Zhixun's third method was directly "despised" by them. Of course. Zhao Zhixun will definitely not argue with them:
"I understand your approach, and I know your thinking. But I don't think there is only one way to play Go......."
When the game enters the middle game. The scene can be said to be extremely hot. Many of the moves of the two people also aroused the amazement of the chess players in the research room. Of course, it must be a bit of an exaggeration to say "bursts of amazement". More options for two. may have aroused Ma Xiaofei's doubts and Liu Dahammer's questions. Of course, since they may also be unclear, they will not directly question it. In many cases, it is simply a "sound of exclamation" instead of a "voice of doubt".
At about 6 o'clock in the evening, the game finally came to an end, and many players poured into the game room. Indeed, there are too many unknowns in this game of chess. A lot of people are desperate to find out.
In the game room, Qian Yuping's face was flushed. He called it lucky:
"Hehe, luck, it's really luck, I still don't understand where I won this game of chess. I didn't expect Xiaoqiang to use such a drastic move. I broke out in a cold sweat during the game......"
Li Xiaoqiang sat quietly in his place. There was not much chagrin or loss on his face. When there is still one step away from the challenge of the "Tianyuan Competition", it is impossible to say that he is not a little depressed when he loses. But on the whole, Li Xiaoqiang also thinks that he has played his level normally. At the end of the game, he couldn't find his obvious "defeat".
Qian Yuping "doesn't know where he won". Li Xiaoqiang is the same, he "doesn't know where he lost". Naturally, when it came time to review after the game, both men wanted to unravel their confusion. After Ma Xiaofei and Liu Dahammer came in, a group of chess players conducted a long review.
The review took a long time, and in the process of review, the players also expressed their opinions and opinions one after another. But to be honest, even if it's after the review is over. There is still no clear conclusion to the dispute. In other words, we still haven't found the "defeat".
In this game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang finally lost 4 and a half meshes. When everyone was analyzing the causes of the failure, Li Xiaoqiang still found some places that were not fine enough. However, there are not many such moves, and there may only be one or two chess. These moves are not the decisive factor. And the real deciding factor may be that there is a problem in some of the options in the mid-game. But these judgments are very vague, and no one can really figure it out. In other words, everyone still hasn't found the real "cause of failure" of Li Xiaoqiang.
"At the end of the day, I'm still not good enough."
After this game, Li Xiaoqiang also had a clearer understanding of this problem. On the surface, Li Xiaoqiang's strategy for this game of chess should be the right one. There were no obvious leaks or mistakes either. The reason for his defeat is likely to be due to the "vague judgment" of many situations.
At the same time, Li Xiaoqiang also knows that for such a problem, it is not enough to rely on others to "teach". For example, this game of chess. Even if the "chess god" is present, he can clearly tell Li Xiaoqiang the correct answer. But Li Xiaoqiang still won't have much to gain. Just this specific chess game, Li Xiaoqiang may have figured it out. But next time he encounters the same situation, Li Xiaoqiang may still make a mistake.
For such vague judgments, what is needed is one's own accumulation, and what is needed is one's own accumulation. When your skills are gradually deepened, you may have a deeper understanding of many situations. So. The choices you make will be more accurate. Of course, that choice is not necessarily the standard answer. But it can always be a little closer.
Li Xiaoqiang still knows it in his heart. "Skill" requires a certain amount of time to accumulate, but you can't wait. In addition to normal learning, the grinding of high-level opponents is also a very important factor. There are many professional chess players, and they all like to use their "winning moves". Which type of chess you play, you may be better at it, and your winning rate will be higher. Then the same approach is often used.
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang can't control other people doing this. But Li Xiaoqiang thinks. Such an approach may not be suitable for you. Especially at this stage, it is appropriate to choose different moves. A little bit of knowledge and involvement in a wide variety of styles. And then test it with a high-level game, like that. The grinding you get yourself may be a little more. With a different experience, your "skills" may also improve faster.
Li Xiaoqiang is sure that he is on the right path!
After the end of the "Tian Yuan Race". The Spring Festival of '89 is also coming soon. However, Li Xiaoqiang did not rush home for the New Year immediately. The Fujitsu Cup will open in early April. He still has more than 10 sets of selection games to start playing. For more than 2 months, there was a Spring Festival in between. More than 10 games are slow, such a density of games. It should be relatively large. Therefore, it is just the right opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to play a few games before the year.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't have to worry about not being able to arrange opponents. For example, Cao Dafang and Qian Yuping of the national team are both natives of Shencheng. In addition, Yu Bin and other chess players are also willing to take this opportunity to play a few more games. For a time, Li Xiaoqiang's selection match was even arranged until the 28th of the lunar month.
After staying in Shencheng for such a long time, Li Xiaoqiang will not be lonely. In addition to having a game to play. There are also friends such as Zhang Zhidong. Speaking of small ones, he can mix with Chang Rensheng and Shao Weigang. Speaking of the old, he can also go to Elder Fang. Continue to learn their "gossip method".
On this day, Li Xiaoqiang was flipping through the latest issue of "Go" magazine in his hand. From this issue onwards, Li Xiaoqiang and Fang Lao's "Evidence" articles began to be serialized in Go magazines. Because of the use of the gimmick of "the latest research results of the national junior team". Chang Rensheng: Their enthusiasm for research is high. Li Xiaoqiang's move is actually learning the practice of Japanese and Korean Go.
For example, the "Rock Rushing Research Society" in South Korea, when they are writing technical articles. I like to be named "the latest research report of the Rock Rushing Research Association", which is particularly popular. In this way, not only chess fans love to watch, but also the researchers themselves are actually very motivated.
This article is a lot of work. Li Xiaoqiang and Fang Lao's plan will take several years to be serialized in the magazine. Fortunately, there were not as many chess games in the early Ming Dynasty as in the late Ming and Qing dynasties. Li Xiaoqiang and Fang Lao will not seek perfection, try to select representative chess games to study, and try to be as objective as possible when researching. This is the attitude of two people, one old and one young.
Even so, the two will still have a lot of disputes on many issues.
So far, although only the first issue has been published in the magazine, Fang Lao's article has actually finished writing the content before the middle of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, Chinese ancient chess was actually the era of the "three major schools". When a stage is over, the article usually gives a summary of something. Or give an opinion, or the next conclusion or something.
On this day, Fang Lao took out his article to Li Xiaoqiang. He wanted to hear what Li Xiaoqiang had to say. When Li Xiaoqiang read Fang Lao's conclusion, he frowned, he didn't agree with Fang Lao's opinion. He said bluntly to the other party:
"Elder Fang, I don't agree with you on this issue!" (To be continued......)
