Trivia: Please read an interview first.
Amateur chess friends asked, "Mr. Kato, how can I improve my chess skills?" "
Masao Kato replied, "I am often asked how I can improve my chess skills?" I find it difficult to answer this type of question. Some people say that doing more dead and alive practice is the best way to enhance your chess strength. I also agree with this statement, but there are many people who are afraid of doing dead or alive exercises and have headaches when they see dead or alive problems. Doing more dead and alive exercises can not only train my ability to find tendons and urgency, but also develop the habit of silent watching and mental arithmetic, which is indeed the best way to improve the level of chess skills, and my chess is also improved by doing dead and alive problems. When I was learning chess with Mr. Kitani, mr. Kitani had to give us life-and-death problems almost every day. When we showed the answer to the gentleman, if he returned it to us without saying a word, it was a wrong answer. This should be repeated several times, and if it is a correct solution, the next problem will be carried out immediately. When I couldn't do it, I was also very upset, but looking back now, the harvest at that time was great. The practice of dead and alive questions should start from simple and basic problems, practice the basic skills in a down-to-earth manner, and then gradually improve the difficulty of dead and alive questions.

Problem diagram
Problem map: Black first, white chess is not alive, remember the main points of the chess shape.
Figure 1
Figure 1: Black 1 clip, 3 retreat, white chess has been unable to do work. If White 4 is established, this is the time to test the basic skills of black chess, black first, how to kill white?
Figure 2
Figure 2: Black 5 pull compression white chess eye position, this is the first point, if the white 6 blocks, black 7 points, because the white chess can not take into account the A, B two points, so the white chess dead chess. White A, black B means of eye-breaking must be.
Figure 3
Figure 3: White 6 resists, black 7 pokes white chess also can not do work. These change charts must also be well known.
Figure 4
Figure 4: The mistake that black chess is easy to make is that after the black chess clip, rush 1 bit to eat, this is a big evil hand, after eating the game, you need to make up the chess, then the white chess can be made into a "straight four" live chess.
Learning to focus: This chess feature is that one can reach up to 6 subs on the second road; the other is that there is a stuck tiger mouth on the side of the two one, which is a major flaw.
