Chapter 65: Catfish

Although it was only a short substitute training, Coach Luo solemnly took Li Xiaoqiang to meet with other members of the national team. Others were very curious about Li Xiaoqiang and warmly welcomed Li Xiaoqiang's temporary joining. Li Xiaoqiang is also very excited, his "sincerity" can also be felt by others. Immediately, his good impression of Li Xiaoqiang increased greatly.

In this era, the national Go team was the same as other professional sports teams. The central task is the task of taking charge of international competitions. It is precisely because of this excuse that Li Xiaoqiang can train in the national team in the name of preparing for the Sino-Japanese Go match. Without this excuse, even if the management likes Li Xiaoqiang and is optimistic, it must consider the emotions of other local teams. From this point of view, Li Xiaoqiang should be grateful for the invitation from the Japan Chess Academy. To be more precise, Fujisawa Hideyuki should be thanked, and of course Master Wu Qingyuan should be thanked, but Li Xiaoqiang didn't know so much about Lu Dao at this time.

Before there was no ring match, the competition used to be the highest platform for Go exchanges between China and Japan. However, with more exciting and high-profile ring matches, the influence of the competition has gradually declined. It was not until the establishment of the professional Go competition in the world and the strong rise of Korean Go that the form of "confrontation match" gradually weakened. In later generations, there were occasional competitions held in the name of confrontation competitions, which really had the meaning of "exchange".

The task of the ring is of course the top priority of the national team. At present, the Chinese side is 3-5 behind, the Chinese side still has 4 people left, and the Japanese side still has 6 people. The competition that will continue in Beijing at the end of August will first be played by Jiang Zhujiu against Kobayashi Jue, who has won three consecutive victories.

Coach Luo briefly divided the focus of the usual training, as well as the competition tasks, Nie, Ma, Liu, and Jiang are of course the key protection objects, and the other team members are sparring partners. The main sparring partner is Shao Zhenzhong, another national player of the national team.

Why did you choose Shao Zhenzhong? All of this is actually related to the god stick of Fujisawa Hideyuki. Hideyuki Fujisawa once commented: "Shao Zhenzhong is one of the two chess players with the best layout in China. "The other, of course, is Nie Whirlwind. At that time, it was generally believed that the gap between Chinese and Japanese chess players was mainly in the layout of kung fu.

The "sparring system" is one of the magic weapons of Chinese sports teams, and in this era, the Go team obviously has such a tradition. Because of the good level of layout, Shao Zhenzhong, as an "imaginary enemy", has become a natural choice to be a sparring partner. There are pros and cons to the "sparring system", so I won't be too verbose here. Interestingly, in later generations, Chinese Go gradually became stronger, and Japan and South Korea also learned from the Chinese Chess Academy to build a national team, ready to learn the training methods and characteristics of Chinese Go Haolu.

Coach Luo also pointed out that this is only the focus, and the other members of the national team should also focus on the ring game, and if necessary, the other team members are also responsible. Including Li Xiaoqiang, who joined temporarily, of course, considering Li Xiaoqiang's level, the main task is to learn and improve. Considering that Li Xiaoqiang had no professional training, Cao Dafang and Qian Yuping were appointed as Li Xiaoqiang's tutors.

Coach Luo thinks so, Cao Dafang's chess is clear, and it can help Li Xiaoqiang a lot in this regard. Qian Yuping was designated because Li Xiaoqiang was too young, and Qian Yuping was unfortunately the youngest in the national team. Li Xiaoqiang can be said to be in the middle of such an arrangement, and he can't help but be overjoyed.

Cao Dafang has a peaceful personality, a Buddha face, and a very elderly style. Although Cao Dafang was still in love with another female national player at this time, Li Xiaoqiang could still feel Cao Dafang's stability and look like an honest person.

Cao Dafang did not achieve too high achievements in Go, but fate still gave Cao Dafang, an honest man, other compensations elsewhere. Cao Dafang later became an alternative "champion coach", and the four main teams of the Weijia club team actually had three world champions. Although it cannot be said that it is all Cao Dafang's credit, Cao Dafang has made great contributions to it, which is beyond doubt.

Go training is actually very boring, it is nothing more than playing chess, reviewing, reviewing, playing chess. But for a person who really likes Go, Go training is not boring at all, and he must enjoy it, such as Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiang began to make up for evil under the guidance of the two teachers. The two teachers were also very patient to review and explain to Li Xiaoqiang, especially Cao Dafang, whose chess theory was clear and patiently explained some of the principles and ideas of playing chess. The so-called chess theory is actually some ways of thinking about Go, which is actually a very important aspect of Go.

For example, in the study chess like Lu Fanyun, the chess he played in the first 20 moves may be no different from the professional nine-dan chess. But there is a big difference in essence, because one knows the ins and outs of Dao chess, and the other is completely imitating. Well, such a comparison may not be convincing.

In later generations, Nie Whirlwind is old, and if he may not even be able to win a professional low-level game in chess, then why are there many masters who like to ask him for advice? Is it just politeness and respect? That's because Nie Whirlwind has a very clear grasp of the flow of the entire chess game, and for some situations, Nie Whirlwind can say his own direction of thinking, and young chess players can follow this line of thought to discover by themselves. But first of all, it is very important for a chess player to have an idea, and to be able to find the right direction of thinking.

In these things, Li Xiaoqiang's flaws are very large. Just the chance to catch up on this lesson. Such a thing may not immediately show its effect, nor can it be as eye-catching as a "throwing knife" or "ghost hand", but such a thing is also a must for a professional chess player.

The two teachers did their best to teach Li Xiaoqiang. However, it is impossible to say in conscience that it is impossible to achieve 'no complaints and no regrets', after all, the two of them are still very young and are in the rising stage of chess skills. Of course, I also want to make a difference in Go. This kind of training has helped Li Xiaoqiang a lot, not only does it not have much effect on their own level improvement, on the contrary, if they play too much with "stinky chess", their own level may decline.

But the two soon didn't think so.

This is because Li Xiaoqiang often plays some "unreasonable" or "untidy" chess, as a teacher, the first thing is to ask Li Xiaoqiang what he thinks, Li Xiaoqiang is just subconsciously according to the "routine" of later generations, can say a little truth, but certainly can't say very clearly. As a teacher, I must also study these "unreasonable" chess. Fortunately, Li Xiaoqiang is still a little level, if he encounters Zhao Dabao like this, then the teacher may not think about it, simply say "It's not right to do this", and then say what he thinks is correct, just like Xiong Guotao taught Zhao Dabao.

But Li Xiaoqiang is different, in order to tell what such a chess is "unreasonable", the teachers will deepen their research, but when the two teachers researched, they found that even they were confused, and Li Xiaoqiang's "unexpected moves" really couldn't tell why they were "unreasonable".

Everyone in a "collective research", has always been the tradition of Chinese Go, the two teachers themselves can't figure it out, naturally let the whole Go team come together, so it will be lively, after the most Lu everyone thinks deeply, and then a few more collisions of ideas, there are vague other touches. These ideas cannot be said to be good, nor can they be said to be bad. But at least it can be said to be "eye-catching".

However, Li Xiaoqiang's methods emerged in endlessly, and later he was mainly anti-guest. Originally, the focus was to help prepare for the ring match, but now it is mostly "research and criticism" of Li Xiaoqiang. Li Xiaoqiang is like a catfish put into a fish tank, grabbing the calm water.

No one was upset about this, everyone thought it was more rewarding, didn't they?
