For his 2023, Dang Yifei said: "The current chess is more stable, the results are passable, although the overall win is more and less loss, but the game is always bad at the most critical time, there are no particularly bright results, I didn't win the championship, and I still need to work hard." ”

Regarding the reason for the "poor breath" at the critical moment, Dang Yifei said: "When I go to the back, I don't pay enough attention, especially when facing young chess players and high-level chess players, my nerves are not as tight as the opponent at critical times. ”

Half a year ago, Ke Jie said after the competition with Dang Yifei for the right to challenge the national hand competition, "Dang Yifei plays chess completely according to his own style, and he doesn't look at AI, he may deliberately play some chess with a winning rate, and then use his own strengths to defeat the opponent." ”

In this regard, Dang Yifei said: "I didn't like to study chess before, but now it's easy to lose if I don't use AI to play chess, and I am currently using AI every day to practice layout Xi and review after the game to improve my level." ”

At the beginning of the new year, Dang Yifei reached the final of the Dream Lily Cup, and in May this year he will compete for the championship with Li Xuanhao, who is known as "Xuangong Intelligence" and has in-depth research on AI. Li Xuanhao, who is the same age as Dang Yifei, has not won the world championship so far, and he also looks forward to the two Mesozoic chess players being able to put on a good show at that time.
