Chapter 57: Sharpening the Knife

What is the most difficult situation to determine a child's Go level? The answer is simple, when he is always winning. Just like Li Xiaoqiang now. If it's Chang Rensheng and Luo Shen Pig, the coaches can quickly give a judgment now. These two are currently at the level of early career level. (Judging by the judgment of the time, it cannot be compared with the beginning of the profession in later generations.) Although the two of them have very different styles, in terms of their overall level, the coaches still have a bottom in their hearts.

But what about Li Xiaoqiang? What level should he be at at the moment? The coaches don't know very well. Because Li Xiaoqiang, this kid is really weird! On the surface, there seems to be no doubt that his level is a cut above the other children. So how much higher? Two paragraphs, or three paragraphs? Or is his comprehensive level at the beginning of his career? It's just that he's "better at competing". Now the coaches have no way to judge. Coaches are very interested in this kind of problem, and it is very important to understand the disciples as a good Go coach, including the children's chess strength and characteristics. What are the advantages and what are the disadvantages. In particular, the last point is very important, so that it can be targeted in the subsequent training.

Li Xiaoqiang is now like a huge mystery that has made the coaches extremely interested. The level of "unknown origin" is one, the "basic skills" of the first half of the game do not seem to be strong, and how high the comprehensive level is is also one. Therefore:

"Let Li Xiaoqiang lose a game and see" has become the consensus of many coaches. This also includes Coach Luo and Coach Wu of the national team.

Of course, this can't be said to be the "bad taste" of coaches, it's just their professional habits as a Go coach. So on the rest day after the 6 rounds of games, they discussed together how to "hit Li Xiaoqiang". In it, Xiong Guotao, who values the championship the most, is also very interested. Because there are many rounds in such a game, and the competition among other children is fierce, the occasional loss of a set should not affect the final championship. Besides, Li Xiaoqiang's ability to become the target of public criticism is itself a manifestation of strength.

The game went on for a week, and we stayed together for a long time. Li Xiaoqiang also slowly got acquainted with other players. These are the pillars of Chinese Go in the future, and under Li Xiaoqiang's deliberate friendship, a group of half-grown children quickly got together. Of course, there are also children who are very concerned about winning or losing, but most of them are still simple-minded. Among them, the most lively were Liu Er in Shencheng and Liu Qing in Guizhou Province. With the addition of Li Xiaoqiang and Luo Shenzhu, the four of them have a tendency to become the "Gang of Four". It's just a matter of character, several people are active by nature and have bold personalities. A well-behaved baby like Chang Rensheng, although he is eager to play with children of the same age, his steady personality makes him a little unable to let go.

On the rest day of the competition, Li Xiaoqiang began to connect everywhere early in the morning, and Ji Lu rowed to play with the swimming team next to him that also belonged to the Training Bureau of the Sports Commission. Li Xiaoqiang wants to go swimming, although the swimming level of the national swimming team is not very high this year, but there is also a high-level diving team. The diving team also has a group of young members, Li Xiaoqiang decided to run to jump and dive to have fun, at least he wanted to swim in the pool. His proposal quickly received a warm response from Liu Er and Liu Qing, and Li Xiaoqiang looked for Luo Shenzhu everywhere, but found that he couldn't find it. Li Xiaoqiang didn't care, and Liu Er, Liu Qing and a few of their children happily ran to play.

Where did Luo Shen Pig go? Luo Shenzhu was dragged by Coach Luo to do secret training. In the eyes of the coaches, Luo Shenzhu is one of the most promising candidates to "block" Li Xiaoqiang. Luo Shen Pig has a high IQ and is quick to accept new things. In order to come up with a good solution, Coach Luo also grabbed Ma Xiaofei to help. Ma Xiaofei is only in his early 20s now, and he is already the second person in China who is only the second person in Nie Whirlwind. Ma Xiaofei is famous for his chess methods, and later wrote a book on "Go and Thirty-six Strategies". In Coach Luo's opinion, it is the most suitable person to find Ma Xiaofei to come up with an idea.

Ma Xiaofei was reluctant at first, and the atmosphere of the Go team was a bit dull during this time, because the Chinese side was currently 3-5 behind in the ring. Japan's Satoru Kobayashi has won three consecutive victories, and the ring match will start in Beijing at the end of August. As China's deputy marshal, Ma Xiaofei is also under a lot of pressure. However, after listening to Coach Luo's thoughts, Ma Xiaofei also became interested. Ma Xiaofei has also been paying attention to Luo Shen Pig and Li Xiaoqiang, and later he became Luo Shen Pig's master. is more interested in Li Xiaoqiang, and the "touch" he made with Fujisawa Hideyuki last time has always remained in his mind......

"I read this kid's chess game and what you introduced. Is it possible to assume that this child is not familiar with some formulas? Is it possible to think of a way in this? For example, pick a complex large-scale change, let the little pig temporarily master some powerful changes, take the initiative, what do you think? ”

Naturally, when it comes to Go, "flying knives" are the first choice for many people. Everyone nodded their heads and said it was a good idea. Only Xiong Guotao smiled and said nothing, through half a month of "intensive training" in Hongcheng, he should be said to be the one who knows Li Xiaoqiang the most among these people. He had a vague feeling that it wasn't a good idea, but he was also curious about the results.

The coaches then discussed the specific method with you and me. If you want to pick a complex formula, it is natural to think of the three most complex formulas: "Great Oblique Thousand Changes", "Great Avalanche" and "Muramasa Demon Knife" formula. In the end, everyone decided to choose the "big avalanche", and the other two formulas have higher requirements for the overall judgment and some more advanced techniques (such as the abandonment tactic), and they are also relatively empty, and everyone is worried that there is not enough time in the day. The "Great Avalanche" is relatively calculating, and it can be explained clearly on a few forks in the road, and it is quickly accepted at the current level of Luoshen Pig.

Ma Xiaofei did good things to the end, and personally explained some "flying knives" in detail to Luo Shenzhu, which was similar to the situation when Li Xiaoqiang taught Lao Wang. However, there is certainly no way to compare the depth of chess. Throughout the day, the coaches were excited. Zhilu Dao has a good show tomorrow. Luo Shen Pig is also very excited, and of course he is very excited to be able to learn some "tricks". So Luo Shen Pig concentrates all day long.

For a whole day, Li Xiaoqiang and they had a good time in the pool. Now Liu Er and Liu Qing both worship Li Xiaoqiang a little. They didn't understand why Li Xiaoqiang casually said a few words to the "adults", and the adults let these children play here, and they changed themselves, and they would never dare to say so much to the adults.

On the second day, the 7th round of the "Chess Kids Cup" began. As soon as Li Xiaoqiang entered the arena, he felt a little strange. What will happen on this day?
