Chapter 393 Supplementary Lessons
"Eh? Is Mr. Gang Lei here too?"

Half an hour later, at the Muhu Go Dojo.

Rui Zhao, who had just arrived, heard Yu Qingguang talking about Lei Jingming's stay in the Taoist temple just now, and couldn't help but raise his voice in surprise.

Chief Coach Yu couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Well, I originally wanted to keep him, but this reckless guy has learned to be careful now. He was afraid that meeting you in advance would cause some unexpected problems, so he slipped away in advance.

"Forget it! Let's just wait until next month! Anyway, he's just a sparring partner now, it won't affect anything."

"what……"

Rui Zhao, who was not quite clear about the cause and effect, seemed to understand what was said and just nodded subconsciously.

However, Yu Qingguang didn't care whether the students understood these unimportant things. He immediately seized the time and sorted out the main topic with Rui Zhao:

"Rui Zhao, I called you here today mainly because I wanted to give you some systematic tutoring since you had fewer competitions in the first half of the year."

Yu Qingguang was right when he said that Rui Zhao had fewer games in the first half of the year.

Because most Chinese people tend to start their work for the new year after the New Year, continuous preparation for a task rarely lasts across the New Year.

Therefore, compared to the second half of the year and before the Chinese New Year when there are many events, there are relatively few domestic events in March, April, May, and Saturday. They are nothing more than the Tianyuan Tournament, Longxing Tournament, Mulan Tournament, and King of Kings Tournament.

Among them, Rui Zhao is only eligible to participate in the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers and Mulan Tournament - Longxing Tournament qualifiers, which have rating ranking requirements, while the qualification requirements for the King of Kings Tournament are the previous champion, the world champion in the past year, and the top eight chess players in the total amount of unlimited individual competition prize money in one year.

As for international competitions, Rui Zhao had nothing to sign up for.

The Sanshuang Cup is a foreign competition, and the domestic preliminaries are only open to players with the highest rating. This year is an even-numbered year, and the Spring Orchid Cup, which was just held last year, will not be held. Therefore, the only event Rui Zhao can participate in is the Fan Air Tournament held in Japan in March.

As for the team competition, the Women's Go League will not be held until mid-May, and the number of rounds is not too tight.

As for the Lakeside Cup...

The next term has already been pushed forward to next year.

um, yes.

At the end of this Lakeside Cup, Lakeside Group also announced the news of the next Lakeside Cup: it will be held in two phases in May and October 2025, with seven games in each phase.

In fact, this is the normal arrangement for the Lakeside Cup - the first Lakeside Cup in 2022 will be held according to this schedule.

However, because the second Lakeside Cup was hastily launched by Lakeside Group and the South Korean Chess Institute taking advantage of the popularity brought by Rui Zhao, the previous event plans were disrupted.

If this competition just ended in late February and the next one started immediately in May, it would be inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, Lakeside Group and the South Korean Chess Institute decided to change the schedule to three times every four years, and postpone the next competition directly to May next year, which is also a good opportunity to restore the original schedule.

With this calculation, Rui Zhao only had the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers, the Fankong Tournament, the Mulan Tournament and a few sporadic rounds of the Women's Go League in the first half of the year. Compared with the busy schedule in the second half of last year, it can be said that she was very relaxed.

...

Hearing Yu Qingguang's proposal, the girl was obviously very interested, and her eyes sparkled:

"really?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

Yu Qingguang smiled at first, then said a little more seriously:
"There are two main aspects. One is your complicated endgame. To be honest, it's really not good!
"When I was young, I was also a world-famous endgame expert! None of the students I taught had weaknesses in their endgame. If you keep going like this... I can't stand it anymore!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu! It's really my fault for not being good enough in my studies."

Rui Zhao, who had just looked expectant, couldn't help but shrink his head, looking very apologetic.

Oh, this little girl really can't take a joke.

Yu Qingguang sighed secretly, looked back and said:
"It's okay! It's not your fault!

"Last year, you had to participate in and prepare for a lot of competitions. I was also busy with the qualifying tournament and some things that happened after Cheng Yuyang and Gan Yuan were qualified, so I didn't pay much attention to you. This year, let's take some time to practice well!" "Another thing is that I want you to ask Teacher Li to teach you some things about layout research - this is what he agreed with you last year."

"Yeah! I've been looking forward to it since last year!"

The girl was in a wow-cool state:
“In fact, since the end of the second phase last year, I have actually started to study some relatively unpopular layout changes, which can be regarded as a preview!”

Li Wangyuan on the side smiled and nodded:
"Well, I saw the little flying knife you used in the first round of the Rookie King Contest. I think you have a talent for research! The key is that you can also concentrate!

"I'm not saying I can make you a flying knife master like Xiao Ni right away, but if you learn for a year or two and take advantage of some people every now and then, I think it won't be a big problem!"

"That's great!"

Seeing the students' excitement, Yu Qingguang reminded them at the right time:

"But, Rui Zhao, I have to remind you.

“Compared to the judgment and sense of smell that are valued in chaotic battles, both layout research and endgame experience are more dependent on accumulation, and improvement may not be that fast.

"You need to be patient and perseverant!"

"no problem!"

The girl agreed quickly. Queen Zhaotian has always had confidence in diligence and hard work.

Yu Qingguang was very pleased to see that the students were determined to achieve what they deserved.

Just as they were about to start, Li Wangyuan beside them suddenly remembered something and started to give instructions:
"By the way, Rui Zhao, there is one more thing... I need to remind you."

"You say!"

Li Wangyuan paused for a moment and said seriously:

"That's right... didn't Xiao Ni teach you all the flying knives he researched before?

"Besides, he even suggested that you use it when you play against the Ice Queen in the Wu Yue Cup..."

Rui Zhao nodded and said:

"Yes, Senior Brother did mention this at the time."

Li Wangyuan also nodded and continued to instruct:
"But...if you are going to meet the Ice Queen this year, promise the teacher that you will never use Xiao Ni's flying knife, okay?"

Rui Zhao blinked and said in a matter-of-fact tone:
“Of course this won’t work!

"This is all Senior Brother Ni's hard work. If it weren't for the special situation like Bai Yinhua's last time, how could I have the nerve to use it!"

"Well, that's good of you to think so!"

Li Wangyuan patted Rui Zhao on the shoulder and gave him a little praise.

However, Rui Zhao felt that this was a bit unusual - why would Teacher Li suddenly bring up such a thing?

So she couldn't help but ask one more question:

"Teacher Ke Li, why did you...really have to remind me of this?

"Did something happen?"

Li Wangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he looked at Yu Qingguang, who had the most ideas among the three elders.

Seeing his old friend nodded, Li Wangyuan told the student truthfully:
“That’s it…

"Xiao Ni plans to give it a try this year to see if he can beat Liu Shixian in the Nongshim Cup!"
