Chess Soul: Buy the Shijia chessboard at the beginning

In the three-province exchange competition, our school student Tian Minze won four consecutive victories!

As soon as the game ended, the elite high school's public account immediately launched a publicity campaign.

Similarly, the Wan Provincial Chess Academy also couldn't wait to issue a press release to promote its team's outstanding performance in the first stage.

In the hotel, Lin Miaomiao was also packing her things reluctantly.

"We have to go back today. We want to leave a good reputation with your mother." Tian Min took the initiative to explain when he saw Lin Miaomiao being unhappy.

Lin Miaomiao still looked unhappy, "I finally came out to play, but I didn't expect it to end here!"

"Have you forgotten?" Tian Min was dumbfounded. "It's already early July, and your high school entrance examination results will be released next week."

"Ah," Lin Miaomiao exclaimed, "Why so fast? What if I fail the exam?"

Tian Min rubbed the girl's long hair, "No, I have full confidence in you. Everyone has seen your hard work in the past six months."

It was already past 6 pm when he returned to Luzhou City. Tian Min declined the offer of a celebration banquet at the Wan Provincial Chess Academy and sent Lin Miaomiao home directly.

"Miaomiao and Minze are back. You two should wash your hands and come over for dinner."

Tian Min immediately took out the gift he had prepared, "Auntie, this is the waist massager Miaomiao bought for you with her pocket money. I went to the mall with her to pick it out."

The smile on Wang Shengnan's face could no longer be hidden, "Oh, my daughter has really grown up and feels sorry for others."

Lin Miaomiao thought to herself, "Sure enough, Tian Minze is right, he needs to understand the mother-to-be's temper."

Then Tian Minze hurriedly handed over the gift prepared for Lin Dawei, "Uncle, these are two bottles of Shaoxing rice wine I picked from Jiangnan Province. I brought them back to you to try."

"You kid, what are you bringing for your uncle?" Before Lin Dawei could say anything, Wang Shengnan took the wine and said, "I don't usually let him drink. Put it away first and drink later."

Tian Min naturally washed his hands with Lin Miaomiao and sat across from Lin Dawei and his wife to prepare for dinner.

Wang Shengnan started talking about Lin Miaomiao's high school entrance examination application, "I have also researched it in the past two days. In addition to elite schools, experimental middle schools and No. 1 middle schools are also good. Miaomiao doesn't have to worry. We will choose a relative school then." If you go to a better high school, you can still do well in college."

Tian Min interrupted casually, "Auntie, don't worry, Miaomiao's grades are good and she will definitely be able to attend an elite middle school."

"Of course that's best."

Lin Miaomiao is still waiting anxiously for her results, while Tian Min has already embarked on a journey to the Gan Province Chess Academy.

There will be four games in the second stage. Regardless of the outcome, they will enter the third stage and move to the Anhui Provincial Chess Academy.

Tian Min's opponent in the next game happens to be his idol, a foreign aid invited by the Jiangnan Provincial Chess Academy, and the world's number one female chess player Rui Lao.

Mr. Rui is from the Magic City, but due to some complicated reasons, he once left the chess academy of another country. After returning to China for the second time, he was naturally not restricted by any local chess academy and could participate in all kinds of competitions.

As for the first three-province exchange competition, in order to enhance the reputation of the competition, the organizing committee was naturally happy to have star players join the competition. Jiangnan Chess Academy temporarily seconded Mr. Rui to participate in the competition in the name of Go exchange.

Tian Minze naturally cherishes such an opportunity.

Before the game, Tian Minze made it clear that he was a fan of Rui Lao, and it was the greatest honor to participate in this game to play against his idol.

Rui Lao also accepted the interview, "Originally it was just an invitational tournament, but after watching Tian Minze's first few games, I was very interested. I will pay attention to him and treat him as a real opponent."

Rui Lao once reached the top four of the World Series. So far, this is still the best result for a female chess player. Even now that she is older, her strength cannot be underestimated.

This time Tian Min arrived at the game room of the Gan Province Chess Academy half an hour early.

Many reporters who had prepared cameras in advance were a little surprised when they saw Tian Minze walking in.

Mr. Zhou Zhongxia from the Anhui Provincial Chess Academy led the team, and Baichuan Wudan accompanied him.

Tian Min sat upright in his seat, took out the white cloth he brought with him and began to wipe the chessboard carefully, and wiped the chess boxes used by both parties with wet wipes.

Reporters used their cameras to record this scene.

Chinese Go is a representative of ceremonial occasions. Many ancient rituals have been lost. On the contrary, the Japanese chess academy has inherited some etiquette from the past.

Before major title matches or even challenge matches in Japan, juniors, players, and challengers all take the initiative to wipe the chessboard with a white cloth to show their respect and attitude of learning.

The promotion of Go must also start with the promotion of chess etiquette, followed by chess theory and chess strength.

When Mr. Rui entered the game room, Tian Minze also stood up and stood next to his seat, shook hands with Mr. Rui, and waited for the other person to take a seat first before he took his seat.

"Mr. Rui, you are my idol. I am very honored to have this opportunity." Tian Min expressed his admiration in person.

Mr. Rui's thin figure contained huge strength. He said seriously to Tian Minze, "Playing a good game of chess is the greatest respect."

"The system prompts that the opponent's chess strength is 86 points. Hit the stone with an egg! The winning reward is 30 points."

For this game, the Wan Provincial Chess Academy directly sent Hu Zhicheng, a five-dan chess player from the province, to explain the game. Some of Tian Minze's performance before the game were also made into pre-game highlights and played on TV.

Hu Zhicheng 5th Dan also lamented, "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who abide by the etiquette of Go. In the future, I will start from myself and pay attention to these parts of Go etiquette. I can't do it more than a fourteen-year-old child." Difference."

Tian Minze has been practicing music in seclusion recently to improve his condition to the best.

In this game, Tian Min was playing black. He started with a small eye and a white chess star. Both sides played more than twenty moves.

"Now the layout has reached more than 20 moves," Hu Zhicheng explained. "It can be said that both sides played openly and impeccably. A lot of meaning can also be seen in the layout stage. Today both players prefer fighting, so the layout also has a certain meaning. Some aggression, so at a glance, there will be entangled battles in many places."

Tian Minze made up his mind today not to use AI guidance anymore. After all, there were not many opportunities to ask experts for advice, so it was reasonable to lose to Rui Lao.

Tian Min showed what he was best at on the chessboard, which was his own strength and his masterful skills in the middle game.

Similarly, Mr. Rui is also a chess player known for his strength and his fierce chess style.

With Tian Min's approach, the two parties hit it off immediately.

"Go ahead to dangers."

Tian Minze knew in his heart that his approach actually reduced his chances of winning.

But he cherishes even more the head-to-head competition with high-level chess players. This is a test given to himself.
