"Haha Although this move does not seem like a chess move, it should be valid on this occasion. No, no, no, it should be said that on this particular occasion, this move is "unexpectedly powerful" to ......".

In one of the training rooms of the national Go team, a group of members of the "national junior team" are dismantling chess. The famous "Seven Little Dragons" of later generations are among them. Of course, in the current world, there is no such statement. Due to the rise of Li Xiaoqiang, the boss of the "National Youth Team" has been replaced by Li Xiaoqiang, who belongs to the rabbit. At this age, he is the undisputed leader.

In order to prepare for the later ring match, Li Xiaoqiang continued to stay in the capital. As with most competitive sports, Go training is monotonous and boring. Usually it is nothing more than playing training chess or group research, but Li Xiaoqiang enjoys it. It's true that not everyone is so lucky to be able to make their hobbies a career.

Since New Year's Day in 88, Li Xiaoqiang has stayed in the capital for a bit long this time. Over time, the "mystery" in him has almost disappeared. Everyone realized that in addition to being more sensible, more mature, more self-controlled, and more self-controlled, Li Xiaoqiang was no different from ordinary children.

What makes everyone most curious now is that it is certainly right to say that Li Xiaoqiang is a "Go genius", and no one denies this. Now if there are still people who think that Li Xiaoqiang is not a Go genius, it must be "ulterior motives". It's just that a "genius" like Li Xiaoqiang seems to be a little different from other real geniuses.

You can't blame everyone for thinking that way. Chess players like the "Seven Little Dragons" should be said to be selected after thousands of selections in China. Each of them has shown excellent Go talent since childhood, and has demonstrated extraordinary Go talent. This has not only been recognized by everyone, but has also stood the test of time. These people, without exception, can use the phrase "quick thinking." solid basic skills".

And it is precisely these two points that seem to be a little inappropriate for Li Xiaoqiang.

Compared with other chess boys, Li Xiaoqiang is certainly not a "quick thinker". Don't say that compared with a superb product like Luo Shenzhu, if you pull one out of the national junior team, the reaction speed may be a little faster than Li Xiaoqiang. This has been fully demonstrated in the speed race of doing life-and-death problems.

"Do you want to have fun beating the masters? Find Li Xiaoqiang to do the question of life and death, and compare speed with him. For the most part, you won't be disappointed. ...... be able to enjoy the fun of defeating the masters very really."

Although Li Xiaoqiang is known as "the wizard on the chessboard", he is a "13-year-old national player". is still helpless to let the national junior team form such a view.

Of course, everyone is not so superficial, and no one thinks that "quick thinking" is the deciding factor in playing Go. In various periods of history. There are many famous chess players, and they don't seem to be quick thinkers. Shi Xiangxia chess saint in ancient China, no one thinks he is quick thinking. Minoru Kitani, a Japanese Go master, is also not close to quick thinking. South Korea's Li Shifo, not to mention his quick thinking, did not say that he was "Mune", he was already very polite.

"Compared with other children, Li Xiaoqiang is not a quick thinker."

This has formed a consensus in the Chinese Go community. If you are not agile in thinking, you can not mention it, so what about the "basic skills"?

compared to other children. Li Xiaoqiang's "basic skills" don't seem to be solid enough. After getting along for a long time, everyone vaguely feels this way. However, based on Li Xiaoqiang's performance, based on his true level, based on the ability he showed on the chessboard. Everyone is just confused. No one has put that meaning out.

Are the "basic skills" in Go important? Of course very important! As in many competitive sports, when the level reaches a certain level, if you want to continue to improve, it is often the inconspicuous "basic skills" that play a decisive role. If the basic skills are not solid. Bottlenecks will be encountered in the process of improvement. It's even harder to make a breakthrough. This should be a simple truth. It is suitable for many competitive sports, but it is also suitable for Go.

Fundamentals are very important! That's right, a lot of people think so. Li Xiaoqiang actually thinks so! It has been almost 3 years since he was reborn, and Li Xiaoqiang has been strengthening his basic skills training all the time and consolidating his foundation. However, unlike others, Li Xiaoqiang does not think that his basic skills are worse than others. At least compared to his peers, and even compared to most chess players in this era, his basic skills are not bad!

Li Xiaoqiang even arrogantly believes that other people think that their basic skills are not good, and it is precisely because other people's understanding of basic skills is not as good as their own. Because of his "well-informed", his understanding of the basic skills of Go should be better than others. Li Xiaoqiang would think like this, it should not be wrong.

Li Xiaoqiang stayed in the capital to train. Due to his special circumstances, to be honest, he really looks a little sad. Go training is nothing more than those few things. Usually when playing training games, Li Xiaoqiang's opponent is of course a first-class master of the national team. Training and playing games with these people, because you don't have to care about winning or losing. To be honest, according to Li Xiaoqiang's current real level, although it cannot be said that a victory is hard to find. Li Xiaoqiang's results are ugly, it is certain. Compared with the past, Li Xiaoqiang's winning rate has improved a lot. There was no more "12 consecutive defeats". It's just that there are more losses and fewer wins.

Playing chess is always losing, losing to adults. Playing life-and-death games is also always losing, losing to minors. Li Xiaoqiang, who has infinite scenery outside, is Li Xiaoqiang, who is blown by everyone. As long as you enter the Chinese national Go team, it seems that you only have to eat deflated. Does he look a little sad?

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang also has a time to pull the wind. When everyone gets together to play chess, when everyone is together to study collectively. It was when Li Xiaoqiang pulled the wind.

Now is the time for Li Xiaoqiang to pull the wind.

Although life is a bit sad. However, Li Xiaoqiang is still very convenient for one thing. He can participate in the group study of the "adult group" or the group study of the "juvenile group". Not only that, when Li Xiaoqiang expressed his opinion when he dismantled chess. Even in the "adult group", it can attract enough attention. And in the "juvenile group" ......

Li Xiaoqiang sat on the chessboard, and the "boss" was full of momentum. The chess kids around him naturally formed a center around him. Li Xiaoqiang was proudly pointing out the country. He was "teaching" Luo Shen Pig.

In an internal training game, Luo Shenzhu lost to Zhou Dayang. When everyone discussed the local gains and losses, Li Xiaoqiang ran over to point fingers. It is believed that Luo Shen Pig has a move to "deal with it inappropriately", and highly recommends a move to "fly diagonally". When a group of chess children first saw this move "flying diagonally". can only look at Li Xiaoqiang with a very "speechless" expression.

Indeed, the level of Go played by these chess boys is already very high. All of them already have a low-level career. Let's be honest. For the understanding of some local methods in Go, there is no gap between the low and high professional levels. When everyone sees this move, their first reaction is that this move is "not in the right shape" and "this is not a move".

Everyone thought so, but no one said it. The reason is very simple, this move was pointed out by Li Xiaoqiang. He has recommended many of these moves. And it turns out that Li Xiaoqiang is often right.

The next step is the process of research, validation. Everyone talked about the gains and losses. Or even a heated quarrel. In your words, in my words, a "new type of novice" that was originally born more than ten years later. It was born in the Chinese chess world in advance.

"Hehe, although this diagonal flight can be established, I still don't like it. In my opinion, this move is too thin, and I wouldn't have played it in actual combat anyway......"

It was Zhou Dayang who said this. His words were quickly echoed by Chang Rensheng. Although a group of chess children enjoyed the thrill of "creating", everyone still told the truth.

Indeed, all the "new types of novices" in Go are actually "new formulas". The reason why a formula can be called a formula. The most important principle is "two points". Only when it is acceptable to both parties, and there is no good or bad, can it be called a "stereotype". When professional chess players choose a set, they choose more according to their own style and preferences. The chess style is heavy. Zhou Dayang and Chang Rensheng, who prefer "thick taste". It is normal for them not to like "thin chess". Although they don't like this move, they may never play it in their own games. However, in this kind of research, they still have gains, at least when they encounter others who take this step "diagonally". They know how to deal with it.

The "fixed form" in Go is indeed a very interesting topic. Almost all the top masters have said, "I don't like formulas, and I can't remember a few." "The most famous is Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa. He often laughs at himself for "often making mistakes." No matter how you listen to it, there is a smug smell in it.

In addition to Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa, Mr. Wu Qingyuan also said that he "can't remember a few formulas". Zhao Zhixun was more specific, he said that he only remembered dozens of basic types, and the rest depended on the actual situation of the game...... In addition, there are Masaki Takemiya and others, who have also said similar things.

Their words had a big impact among Go lovers. For a while, the Go formula seemed to be a useless thing. Such words once troubled Li Xiaoqiang. You must know that in the process of Li Xiaoqiang's learning chess, he actually grew up with a variety of stereotype books.

In his previous life, when Li Xiaoqiang was a Go enthusiast. I often hear some chess fans and friends say that "I never remember the formula". From the amateur low level to the amateur high level, there are such chess fans who say such things. To be honest, whenever Li Xiaoqiang hears such words, especially when he hears people who are close to his level say such things. Li Xiaoqiang will be very embarrassed, because he is a person who has learned the formula. Compare words with others. will feel that they are more "vulgar" and feel that they are not as good as others in the "realm......

Is it true that the formulas in Go are useless? Now Li Xiaoqiang thinks about it, the Go style is still very useful. Li Xiaoqiang even believes that the so-called "basic skills" of Go are actually hidden in various Go formulas.

The style of Go has existed since ancient times, from the classical Chinese "Double Flying Swallow", "Jinjing Column", and "Inverted Weeping Lotus", to the "Great Oblique Thousand Changes", "Great Avalanche", "Muramasa Demon Knife" developed in Japan, and then to various "novice new models" in later generations. In those specific moves, there is a wealth of Go ideas, and there are various "tesuji" in it, including offensive and defensive and life-and-death skills in Go. The clever order of some stereotypes actually includes the characteristics of "refinement" in Go officials. In the choice of formula, in fact, it also includes the "overall view" or "overall view" in Go.

And isn't this the "basic skill" in Go? Therefore, it can be considered that the Go formula is not only useful, but also "very useful"! When these Go masters say "don't remember the formula", they don't mean that the Go style is useless. They emphasize. In fact, it is a kind of realm in Go. A realm of "no tricks to win, there are tricks".

The formula in Go is composed of a variety of moves, and when the level of Go reaches a certain height, it is necessary to break through this specific move and enter the realm of "no moves". Their words can be roughly understood in this way.

What level is Li Xiaoqiang now? Obviously, he is still in the stage of "having a trick". Li Xiaoqiang even believes that in the entire world chess world, there are not many chess players who can achieve "no move to win". In fact, the development of the whole game of Go is still in the stage of "having moves".

Later generations of Korean Go and Chinese Go circles have always been keen on researching and developing various "newbie new types". This is a clear proof that the level of Go in the world is still in the stage of "having moves".

Of course, most of the later generations were "new types of novices". It can be regarded as a relatively advanced "trick" stage. Locally, these so-called "newbie new" may not be considered "forehand", or even not established at all. However, in some special situations, with some specific cooperation, these means can be "established" or "unexpectedly powerful".

Obviously, there is another key word involved here, and that is "overall Go"!

For a long time, these novice new types have been regarded as Li Xiaoqiang's secret weapon. It is the key to his victory at this stage. But he didn't mind sharing it with the rest of the world.

There are many new types of novices. No matter how good the novice is, these things are only part of the "basic skills" of Go. Li Xiaoqiang thought very clearly. If you really want to make a breakthrough in Go. It is necessary to reach the stage of "no trick to win". What is really useful to you is not these specific tricks, but the methods to discover them. It is the thinking of "overall Go".

It is because of this that Li Xiaoqiang never thinks that his "basic skills" are not good.

The basic skills are very important, and it is good to practice the basic skills of Go at the same time. There is often something terrible that goes hand in hand. This kind of thing is a "mindset"!

This thing. It is the enemy that really hinders the improvement of the level of Go. It's what Li Xiaoqiang has always wanted to avoid.

As the days passed, Li Xiaoqiang was also growing up slowly. Not only is he not as sad as he imagined, on the contrary. Li Xiaoqiang thinks that his current life is very nourishing. Through Li Xiaoqiang's own efforts, Li Xiaoqiang at least does not worry about the problem of competition opportunities.

In addition to "surviving" in the ring. Li Xiaoqiang also entered the decisive battle of the first Chinese "celebrity war". This is a five-way chess, and the final opponent is Liu Dazhui. Also, due to last year's excellent performance in the ring. Li Xiaoqiang was selected by the majority of chess fans as one of the "top ten" of Chinese Go. He can participate in this year's "Top 10 in China".

There are so many opportunities to play, which is unimaginable for Li Xiaoqiang a year ago. It's funny to say that these games all have a match fee. What Li Xiaoqiang pondered in his heart was another game without a game fee. That is the National Go Individual Competition.

This competition was once a qualifier for the Fujitsu Cup. Li Xiaoqiang has been looking forward to the introduction of this system. Li Xiaoqiang knew that if he wanted to participate in the World Championship Competition, he would only have this one chance, the only chance!

Of course, for things like policies, Li Xiaoqiang can't control them. What Li Xiaoqiang can do now is to prepare and wait quietly.

No matter who is like this, as long as you feel that you are living a good life, it is easy to think cranky. Li Xiaoqiang is thinking nonsense now.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang will definitely not admit that he is thinking crankily. He just felt that it was a bit long to be away from home this time. Li Xiaoqiang is starting to feel homesick!

There shouldn't be anything wrong with that. Most of us Chinese take care of the family, although Li Xiaoqiang is a middle-aged uncle, after leaving home for a long time, it is normal to think about home occasionally. It's not normal to miss home and ignore home.

Li Xiaoqiang thinks about his relatives, which is normal. Li Xiaoqiang thinks about his sworn friend Zhao Dabao, which is also normal. However, Li Xiaoqiang is now thinking about the "future beauty" Lin Mengyu. Thinking about the "test hand" that I haven't made yet, is this normal?

There is nothing abnormal about thinking about beautiful women in your spare time. What really makes Li Xiaoqiang puzzled is that he can play such a profound "test hand" in Go. In life, this kind of "test hand" should be very ordinary, very large. Why can't you always get out?

Li Xiaoqiang not only didn't play it, but he still didn't have a clue at all, and he didn't know how to play this move. This made Li Xiaoqiang very entangled, and it also hurt Li Xiaoqiang's self-esteem a little.

Li Xiaoqiang is a very proud person and a very confident person. He thinks that there is definitely no problem with his IQ and that his EQ must be passable. How can you be helpless on such a seemingly ordinary problem? Li Xiaoqiang was puzzled.

It is now the first half of 88, and according to normal history, Li Xiaoqiang is already a junior high school student. In the second half of the year, Li Xiaoqiang will become a high school student. Li Xiaoqiang can't be blamed for being cranky. In real history, Li Xiaoqiang and Lin Mengyu were just junior high school classmates. Although I watched the back of someone's head for 3 years in junior high school, after entering high school, the two were not in the same school at all, let alone in the same class.

Li Xiaoqiang faintly felt that he would not make a "try" as soon as possible. It will be more difficult in the future.

The tournament is basically two sets a month. After the first two sets, at the end of April, Li Xiaoqiang must travel to Japan for the third match. The 5th round of the "Celebrity Battle" was held in May. The venue of the competition is in Hangzhou.

In this way, Li Xiaoqiang should not say that he will "try his hand". and Lin Mengyu didn't even have many opportunities to meet. Of course, none of this is the main problem. The most critical problem is that Li Xiaoqiang can't think of any magic tricks at all.

"What's the problem?"

April 88. When preparing for a major international competition like the ring. No one knew that Li Xiaoqiang, the "wizard on the chessboard", was entangled in this inexplicable question. (To be continued......)

PS: In the past few days, the author has been very entangled.

Until now that this book was written, I suddenly realized that the protagonist of this book does not seem to be Li Xiaoqiang, and the real protagonist has become Go. Hehe, this is clearly not the author's intention.

When I want to change it up. I'll honestly admit that I'm at this level. I'm getting stuck, and I can't change my mind at once.

Of course, if you write about Go alone, the author still has a little bit of confidence. It's slow now, but TJ is impossible. We can't stand such stimulation.

We welcome your comments on this book. Hehe, I believe everyone should know my habits, as long as it is a well-intentioned opinion, even if it is a "poisonous tongue" it doesn't matter at all, after my thick skin, I can afford it.

Thank you.
