Chapter 55 "Dragon Road"

Ma Xiaochun was the best of their group of chess players. It is rumored in the society that there are conflicts between us. We should look at it this way: I am the top figure in the Chinese Go world, and he is the best player of his time. It seems that there are conflicts, but in fact there are no conflicts.For example, if we compete for the championship, if there is a conflict of interest, it will appear to be a contradiction; if there is no conflict of interest now, there will be no conflict at all. In fact, Ma Xiaochun followed me when he was in his teens. At that time, everyone called him Ma Xiao, and no one liked him very much.

I watched him play chess. Although his level was very poor at that time, I saw his talent in Go from the chess.So, no one wanted him at the time, so I said I would bring it.In those days, it was said that "one gang is one, one pair is red", and there was no such thing as apprenticeship. Ma was very obsessive when he was playing chess in elementary school. He would hang around you all day long, playing chess and replaying games.At that time, I was in a relationship with a girl from a fairly good family background, and I didn’t have time to spend alone, so that girl especially “hated” Ma Xiao.But I broke up with her because my father and sister strongly opposed it. Of course, I also felt that it was inappropriate to break up like this.In the end, she went to visit my father while my father was in hospital, so it was fate.

In the Siege League a few years ago, the Siege Team of Ma Xiaochun and Yu Bin died halfway. Later, I invited Ma Xiaochun to my Siege Team.At that time, some people in the team had concerns about Ma Xiaochun's strength, and I told them: Ma Xiaochun is a master of chess, there is no problem. A while ago, at the ten-year celebration of the founding of Nie Daochang, Ma Xiaochun asked the manager of his company to bring me a pair of expensive chess pieces.Not because of high-end, but seeing the chess pieces, I am very happy.A chess player must be closely linked with Go all his life. Speaking of this, by the way, another set of Go is the Hong Xian agate chess set left by Yuan Shikai when he passed away. There are 180 black and white pieces each, and the white pieces are called "fish jelly".

The sunspots are blue and green with emerald-like luster.It was bought by Yuan Shikai's entrusted people for 10,000 yuan. This pair of chess pieces has been treasured by Mr. Yang Jianan, a Tianjin Go collector.After I came back from the first China-Japan Go Challenge Competition, Mr. Yang specially presented this pair of agate chess to me as a congratulation. It is said that Mr. Yang's children were not very willing at that time, but Mr. Yang insisted on giving it away, so I accepted it.Unfortunately, I moved several times later, and now I can't find it. Having said that, Ma Xiaochun is talented in chess, has won two world champions, has considerable comprehension in Go, and is also enthusiastic about supporting younger generations. Although he has experienced many "doors", this does not weaken Ma Xiaochun's own ability Therefore, Ma Xiaochun should contribute more to the cause of Chinese Go.

The establishment of "Dragon Road" is an attempt. Why is it called "Longyiyi", I also asked the people in the company to know this word.They said, "Dragon" is because Ma Xiaochun and I are both dragons, what about "One"?Means unity, unity, togetherness. It can be seen that the name "Longyiyi" took them a lot of thought. I also learned about some ideas about building a dojo with Ma Xiaochun before, which is obviously a very good thing.First of all, Ma Xiaochun's ability is unquestionable. In addition, although the current training mechanism of Go in my country is very complete, there is still a problem in it, that is, the life span of the so-called "second-tier players".

"Second-tier chess players" as the name suggests, if they were divided by grade points, they would be ranked outside of the 80s.If the trials of the national youth training team are used as a yardstick, those who fail the selection can be regarded as "second-tier chess players" for the time being.In fact, these chess players' "chess talents" are all good, but there are many young chess players who have entered the ranks, and their heads have not come out. I don't know their names, and they were drowned.Some of them may have come up through "hard work", and later found that they were not good enough and drowned, but most of them were caused by their own training methods.

The reason why the Longyiyi Go Research Association was established is to prolong the life of the so-called "second-tier players".What is the so-called, because I believe that it is all temporary. I am the president of "Dragon Road", Ma Xiaochun is the head coach, Cao Dayuan is the deputy head coach, "Yicheng Go" provides network support, and we give regular and quantitative lectures to these professional chess players every month. Ma Xiaochun also said that he would go more , plus a large number of chess training and research meetings between them, I think there will be a breakthrough.The current stagnation of these children is just that a certain link has not been opened up.Activate the "second-line chess players" and strive to rush to the "first-line". It must be known that the fiercer the competition, the stronger the foundation of Chinese Go.

Of course, the development of a thing can only be known if it is good or bad after being tested in practice.Therefore, at the beginning of its establishment, I thought that the Long Yi Yi Go Research Association was still in the experimental stage, and it was a good thing to be sure, so all parties should contribute their best. For a long time, I will rush to anything that is beneficial to Go, and with the strong support of the Chinese Chess Academy, I hope that "Longyiyi" can be as expected.
