In the process of learning Go, we often lament the superb chess skills of those masters, and their every step is like a beautiful movement.

However, how can we learn from the experience of the masters on our own Weiqi road and turn it into our own chess progress? From a practical point of view, this paper expounds how to learn from the master's game and draw valuable experience from it.

1. Observation and analysis

The first step is to covet your eyes first. Let's look at the masters' games, just like looking at food photos, we have to drool first.

You can choose some videos, such as the classic war or the current master's game, whatever it is. When watching, don't just stare at the trend on the chessboard, but also look at how the brains of the masters turn.

Every step they take has a doorway. Think about what they might be thinking at that time. Especially at a critical juncture, how to defuse the opponent's offensive is worth pondering. Slowly, you can find out how clever the ideas of the masters are.

speaking of which, I have tried it before. After watching a game of a master, I suddenly understood the idea of a live chess game. His layout in the corner of the chessboard is a stroke of genius. I also learned from his ideas and used them in actual combat.

as a result, I won a game successfully! With this experience, I realized the beauty of learning from the masters. So, don't just watch chess, but also ponder over the brain circuits of the masters in order to gain something.

2. Learn the layout of the opening

The opening is like the first step of Go. If it is right, the situation is expected to be smooth, and if it is wrong, it may be "step by step". Although the masters are flourishing, they actually have a set of safe opening strategies. Just like when I learn by myself, I always learn from the masters' opening methods.

once, I saw a game between Ke Jie and Li Shishi, and they made some subtle changes in the three-three formula. I imitated it excitedly, and it actually took effect in the game with my friends! This made me realize that learning from the works of masters is not just blindly copying, but also understanding the truth and then mastering it.

every time I learn a new beginning, I will try to test the water in the actual game. Sometimes the effect is good, and sometimes I will encounter challenges. But it is these experiences that make me gradually explore the opening style that suits me. I like steady development, so I prefer to choose some relatively stable start, rather than dazzling at the beginning.

through many attempts and summaries, I gradually realized that the beginning is not just the next step, but also thinking about how to find opportunities in the future development.

the experience of the masters tells me that the opening is for the overall consideration, and a safe layout can give me more control in the follow-up. Of course, all this requires the accumulation of time and experience, but it is these efforts that make me go further and further in the world of Go.

In short, the layout of learning opening is not only copying the works of the masters, but also understanding the ideas, and then constantly trying and summarizing them in practice.

Only through our own practice can we find our own way and create our own Go style. Just as masters once left their wisdom on the chessboard, we can also leave our own footprints in our own chess game.

3. Learn local tactics

Don't underestimate those seemingly small moves in Go! Although the overall pattern of the whole plate is important, sometimes, the outcome lies in a small corner. Imagine how the masters fought to the death in that limited space, which is amazing.

To learn local tactics, don't just watch, but also chew. Pick a few typical chess games, don't be impatient, calm down and carefully look at how the masters play.

how do they achieve both offensive and defensive in a small place? When do you dare to give it a try, and when do you stand firm? Don't just be superficial, see through the wisdom behind it.

I still remember that I just started to learn, and I was always beaten by other people's tricks. But slowly, I started the tricks of Taskmaster, and accumulated experience bit by bit. After practicing, I gradually found my own set of tactics.

so don't be afraid, you can't just watch without practicing. Try more in actual combat, and slowly you will be able to play this set of tricks in part.

well, that's it. Learning local tactics is not an overnight task. Take it easy, step by step. Through observing, pondering and your own practical practice, you will be surprised to find that those "tiny" moves can really create miracles on the chessboard!

4. Basic accumulation and continuous practice

Although those masters play chess like gods, in fact, their superb skills all start from a solid foundation. Just as we have to take a bite before eating, they have to learn to walk the basic moves when playing chess.

in the past, I used to watch the video of the game between the masters, and sometimes I watched it all day. I found that each of their works, though seemingly mysterious, is actually based on those basic moves. For example, in chess, I often see the layout of the masters. First, put all the horses, chariots and elephants. Isn't that what we learned at the beginning?

well, actual combat experience is also super important. I still remember one time, I played a game with my friends, as if the spirits of the masters possessed me, and I suddenly thought of a game I had seen before.

I copied the master's tricks once, and I won a relaxed and happy result. That kind of feeling, it's like you fried a dish, and the flavors of the masters are integrated into it.

I often ask my friends to play chess. Sometimes I try Taskmaster's tricks to see which one is more convenient. Of course, sometimes you have to face failure, but as the saying goes, "you learn from a mistake." Failure is the mother of success, isn't it?

in a word, we should learn from the masters, but don't forget to lay a good foundation for ourselves. Just like when we learn to cook, we have to sharpen the blade before we can stir-fry the food.

So, don't just watch the chess tricks of the masters, but also put the basic moves and actual combat experience into your pocket. Only in this way can we become more and more stable on the chessboard and turn the wisdom of the masters into our own treasures!

Beibei has something to say:

On the way of learning Go, it is an important way to learn from the master's game. By observing, learning the opening layout, studying local tactics, cultivating flexible thinking and basic accumulation and practice, we can integrate the experience of the masters into our own chess skills and constantly improve our own level.

However, it should be understood that learning Go is a long-lasting process, which requires patience and perseverance. Just as the masters have achieved their extraordinary chess skills through the baptism of years, we must be down-to-earth and make continuous efforts in order to go further and further in the world of Go and get out of our own wonderful chapter of chess.
