Mistakes Commonly Made By Player
The following are four mistakes commonly made by Xiangqi players at an ordinary level. Now see if you can avoid any of these mistakes.
Mistake 1: The player prefers to study the opening theory and ignore more or less the endgame learning, and it is very common for amateur chess players to make this mistake for the following reasons:
a) compared to the opening and the middle game, the endgame is boring, the pieces are fewer and at the minimum, the degree of attraction and entertainment element hard to perceive and detected.
b) the study of endgame is painstaking, it takes time to acheiving good result. Once someone had said that he practiced hundreds of checkmate methods but found himself making no real progress at all, more like back to square one. This is because the endgame study effect is slow, maybe you have worked hard for a while and you have not made any progress, then suddenly one day out of the blue you find that your endgame level has improved tremendously!
c) mistakenly think that one's standard of the game will not reach the endgame stage, so there is no need to learn the endgame. However in fact learning the endgame is conducive to the game's overall improvement. Remember endgame study can improve the level of the opening game, while opening theory study can not improve one's endgame level.
Mistake 2: Learning without real understanding, rote memorization. This mistake is very common in the opening theory study, routine and rote memorization, do not understand whatsoever and yet one even forcibly write down the moves sequence, some players have force themselves to memorize 10 master's games every day, this is confusing and astonishing. You memorized lots of game and did not understand them, you did not learn any skills or technique, it is just a wasted effort.
Mistake 3: Playing lots of game, but mostly casual ones. Not enough serious game analysis, not enough real deep thinking game. Some players even play 50 games a day, including all-night on. Some use software and do not think for themselves at all. Let's talk about the importance of thinking, everyone knows that as a student at school, the teacher does not give you the answer of a problem beforehand, why? Because with the answer you tend not willing to think for yourself, you always want to see the answer first. Without the process of independent thinking, your academic performance will not improve much.
Mistake 4: Afraid to play against a much stronger player, there is fear of losing, getting angry and upset after losing, or want to win every game when playing. All these show that your ability to resist setbacks is much lacking. What are you afraid of losing a game? It is the least costly failure, and anyway you have not lost anything. Some people play chess online in order just to win, to crush the opponent, hence there is the use of software. Some people think about blocking these software, later on they find that it just increases the cost of cheating, but impossible to block the software in online games. Think about it from another viewpoint, what are you afraid of (the software)? This is not a real game, not competing for fame and fortune, losing a game without losing any thing else, on the contrary, you have learned some chess skills. If Grandmaster Xu Yinchuan plays with you for practice, will you be unhappy if you lose? You must be happy because you have learned something. But suppose you are angry when you lose to the software in the online game, why is that? Do you understand why your Xiangqi with rookies have made you regressed? Because playing with rookies is easy to accumulate wrong experience, such as for example in a certain situation you choose to sacrifice the Rook in an attack, in fact, it is not a correct sacrifice, if you meet a master he will be able to solve the siege, so you know that you are wrong. For the truth, if you lose, sum up the wrong experience, and aim to play better next time.
