When Li Xiaoqiang was doing self-examination, he thought that his analysis still made some sense.

Why can Li Shifo become the "patron saint of Nongshim"? Why does Gu Dali, who seems to be very good at rapid chess, his rapid chess record is not as good as Kong Erjie's? Why are Ma Xiaofei, Luo Shenzhu, and Li Shishi, who are recognized as "genius" chess players, their rapid chess results actually very average? This is worth pondering for everyone, especially for professional chess players like Li Xiaoqiang: which skill is the most important in the next game of rapid chess?

Li Xiaoqiang believes that the importance of a game of rapid chess is the basic skills, the way of calculation, and the feeling of chess. As for the "quick response" that everyone takes for granted, Li Xiaoqiang thinks it doesn't matter at all. To explain this problem, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that there is no need to say much, just look at Gu Dali alone.

In real history, Gu Dali should be regarded as a good example. Gu Dali's level of slow chess naturally goes without saying. But there's an interesting thing about Gu Dali: he is so good at blitz 10 seconds that he is said to be able to beat even professional players to relegation. But in a 30-second move or a 1-minute move in rapid chess, Gu Dali's results are average. What is the reason for this?

Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is not difficult to explain, playing the kind of blitz chess in 10 seconds, the skill of "calculating the way" in Go is basically useless. Playing this kind of chess relies on the player's basic skills and chess sense. Therefore, playing this kind of chess is very good, at most, it can only prove that Gu Dali's basic skills are solid or his chess sense is excellent.

However, you must know that in the real world chess world, there is basically no such 10-second blitz game. The mainstream rapid chess tournament is still dominated by 30-second one-move or one-minute one-step rapid chess matches. Don't underestimate this slight difference, in fact, this kind of chess is still different from blitz chess, and the so-called "way calculation" is still useful in this kind of chess.

Some people may have doubts. Isn't Gu Dali recognized by everyone as super strong? Compared to blitz in 10 seconds, how can this skill be increased, but his results are not good?

That's right, this is the real problem, and this is Li Xiaoqiang's biggest experience today.

There are many kinds of "road calculation" in Go, and players with different characteristics have different Go thinking. And different Go thinking represents different calculation paths. There is a "steady" calculation path like Li Shifo, and there is also a "assault type" calculation like Gu Dali Li Shi. As for the current Li Xiaoqiang, it can be said that the current Li Xiaoqiang also has his own uniqueness, and his characteristics are different from those of Gu Dali, Li Shishi and others. But in the general direction, the current Li Xiaoqiang can basically be classified as an "assault type".

What is the biggest advantage of this type of player? To put it bluntly, the road is deep. Of course, the "calculation of the depth of the road" mentioned here is not what everyone usually thinks can count a few more steps than others. Rather, it is a kind of comprehensive calculation, and these people can often calculate where others can't. However, if such players want to play to their strengths, there must be one condition, and that is that they must be given enough time.

"Think about it, too. In this kind of rapid chess game, you will not be able to play the "small and strong long test" at all......"

When Li Xiaoqiang analyzed the truth to reporter Zhang Da, of course, he omitted the example of Gu Dali and others. Reporter Zhang Da and Yukari Umezawa quickly understood what Li Xiaoqiang meant and agreed with his views.

For example, today's game is a typical example, the Go competition is a contest of players' comprehensive ability. Even if Li Xiaoqiang's comprehensive ability is a little higher than Li Shifo's now. But in this kind of rapid chess competition, Li Xiaoqiang can't play some advantages, such as things like "Xiaoqiang's long test".

In real history, in addition to the example of Gu Dali. In fact, Li Shishi's example is also very revealing. In real history, the question about Li Shishi's participation in the Three Kingdoms Ring Tournament. The news that everyone is discussing whether he wants to take a "wild card" to compete in the competition is often in an uproar. But everyone often ignores such a question, why does Li Shishi take a "wild card"? Isn't it because he often fails the domestic qualifiers in this format?

In addition, there is another interesting phenomenon: Li Shishi's record in the international arena is not to mention, and he is second only to Li Shifo in the world championship in real history. But what about their domestic arena? You can find a phenomenon: in fact, in their domestic arena, Li Shishi has never established real dominance.

Why is this happening? This is because in the international arena, slow chess has been dominated by slow chess for decades. In the Korean chess scene in the era of Lee Stone, the most popular in their country was rapid chess.

"Xiaoqiang. Now that you are aware of this problem, do you have any good solutions? ”

This question was asked by Yukari Umezawa. When Li Xiaoqiang's self-examination was over, they had already arrived at the place, and when they got out of the car, Yukari Umezawa suddenly asked this question.

How to fix it? Of course, the current Li Xiaoqiang can't think of any good way. It's not just Go. Just because a lot of things in the world are like this, just because you can find a problem doesn't mean you can solve it. But having said that, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that it is always a good thing to be able to find a problem at this time, rather than not being able to find a problem all the time and then continue to lose inexplicably.

As for wanting to solve this problem, Li Xiaoqiang's first thought is two points, the first is to hope that his overall strength can be improved again, if his overall level can reach the level of crushing Li Shifo, then such a problem is not a problem at all. The second way is to consciously make a little change when playing rapid chess, so as to play less uncertain chess.

Of course, this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. Compared to the first idea, it seems that the second method is more operational. But Li Xiaoqiang knows that even if he has this awareness, it will be very difficult to make changes. You must know that you have formed the characteristics of your current chess style, and it was after 10 years of hard training. The inertia of human thinking is huge, and there are not many people in this world who can easily transform between different Go thinking.

"Perhaps, I can learn from Mr. Wu, I can't think of any other way......

Li Xiaoqiang replied to Yukari Umezawa like this. When it comes to switching between different Go thinking, Li Xiaoqiang's first thought is Mr. Wu Qingyuan. It seems that among all the well-known chess players in history, he is the only one who has done a better job in this regard.

In the era in which Mr. Wu Qingyuan lived, he spent most of his time playing "intimate" Go. In fact, playing this kind of Go requires two kinds of thinking, one is the thinking of holding black, and the other is the thinking of holding white. In this regard, Mr. Wu should be regarded as doing a relatively good job. Mr. Wu Qingyuan once wrote two layout books that are very famous, one is called "Black Layout" and the other is called "White Layout", and even this one has to be written separately, which is actually to introduce his two different Go thinking. In the past, some people in the Japanese chess world commented that Mr. Wu "holds black like Xiuce, and white like Xiurong". This is, of course, a compliment to Mr. Wu for doing a good job in thinking transformation. It's a pity that even if a genius is like Mr. Wu Qingyuan, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that in some aspects, he has not really changed freely.

For example, in the later period of Mr. Wu's era, the Go world transitioned from the era of "non-sticky" to the era of "sticky". Mr. Wu's record in playing close to the eye is much inferior. Of course, this is related to the fact that he is no longer at his peak, but it can also be clearly seen in the chess game that compared with non-sticky Go, Mr. Wu is obviously not very suitable for sticky Go. In these two types of Go, Mr. Wu's thinking is not yet able to switch freely.

"Okay Yukari, let's stop dwelling on this issue. You know, I lost today, and if I continue to discuss it, it will be equivalent to revealing my scars. I'm here today to drink to kill my sorrows. Let's go, I'll find Fang Lao to drink later, and you, you can also take the opportunity to learn a little more from Fang Lao......"

Since he couldn't find a good solution for a while, Li Xiaoqiang decided not to discuss the past game. Now he just wants to brag and chat with his friends to relieve his depressed mood.

Yukari Umezawa pursed her lips and smiled, and she followed Li Xiaoqiang in.

The tavern selected by reporter Zhang Da is not big, but the environment is good, and it is very suitable for drinking and chatting with a few people. Li Xiaoqiang found that Yukari Umezawa seems to have grown a lot in recent years, although she doesn't say much on this occasion, she is better than being well-behaved, and the timing of interjecting is also very appropriate. eye-catching and well-behaved, a few people can be regarded as having a good time drinking a little wine.

Let's talk about ancient Chinese chess, talk about the current situation of the world chess scene today, in addition to not talking about Li Xiaoqiang's loss today, and finally talk about the ongoing Three Kingdoms Tournament.

After Li Xiaoqiang lost today, he will be attacked by Masaki Takemiya tomorrow. When it came to this topic, Yuka Umezawa glanced at Li Xiaoqiang:

"Mr. Takemiya's rapid chess is still very good, I think he should be able to avenge you."

"Huh."

Listening to Mei Ze's words, Li Xiaoqiang obviously showed a disapproving expression. As a four-time winner of the "Asian Cup", as a "celebrity" currently reigning in Japan. If Li Xiaoqiang was not a reborn person, he might be optimistic about Masaki Takemiya at this time. It's a pity that Li Xiaoqiang knows Li Shifo's "historical record" against Masaki Takemiya. Therefore, he could not be optimistic about Mr. Takemiya in any way. At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang was even looking forward to the match between Ma Xiaofei and Li Shifo. Because he wanted to know what the outcome of the showdown between the two would be before their peak.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, your Japanese team is really good, this time it may be at the bottom again."

"You ......"

Yukari Umezawa's little face was flushed with anger. It must be admitted that some women are angry like sprinkling, and some women are angry like coquettishness. And Yukari Umezawa is obviously in the latter case.

Even though Li Xiaoqiang has a heart, even though Li Xiaoqiang has been careful to keep the distance between him and Yukari Umezawa. But at this moment, Li Xiaoqiang was stunned. (To be continued.) )
