[Soul of Chess] What if

really.

Hearing the expected answer, Ah Guang's expression didn't change at all, he continued to fold his arms, as if he was listening attentively.

Seeing this, Ogata had no choice but to tell the whole plan: "Compared with the title match and other competitions, the competition rules of the 'sai cup' mainly have the following two changes: one is that the preliminaries will be played against each other by drawing lots regardless of their rank; Chess players' game fees are set according to the results of the game."

"Although the rules of the game have been adjusted, because the difference is not particularly large, it will not arouse their vigilance. Maybe they will think it is just a 'bluff' and laugh at it. However, this is the first plan of the plan. step." Speaking of this, a meaningful smile gradually emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"You should also know that the qualifiers for the chess game are arranged according to the rank. First, the chess players below the fifth rank will go to the knockout round, and those who have successfully advanced will have the opportunity to compete with the players above the fifth rank."

After hearing this, Ah Guang nodded silently, expressing that he understood the content.

After seeing himself nodding, Ogata continued: "Then, do you know what effect the abolition of this system will have?"

Unexpectedly, he would be called by name, Ah Guang was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then lowered his eyes to think about this issue in his mind.

Hmm... If this system is cancelled, then all chess players will have to participate in the competition from the first qualifying round. Not impossible.

If those mediocre high-level chess players are unlucky enough to meet a strong low-level chess player, they can only face the fate of being eliminated in the first round.

"...Will high-ranking players who are not strong be eliminated in advance?" A Guang said, looking up at Ogata as if asking for proof.

"That's right." Ogata affirmed, "And this may be the last thing those people want to see."

"After all, as a high-level chess player, he lost to a low-level chess player in the first match, which is equivalent to telling everyone that his rank and strength are not worthy of the name. In this way, how can they be a high-level chess player?" What about the face and dignity of a chess player?"

After finishing speaking, he added leisurely: "Actually, there is a supplementary clause to this regulation, that is - if you lose miserably in the first round of the qualifiers for two consecutive years, you will not be allowed to participate in the competition in the third year. "

To this, Aguang simply said "oh".

In his opinion, those people might not even register their names for this kind of competition that would make him lose face, so how could they continue to participate?

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Ogata smiled slightly: "Even though they know that this competition may make them lose face, those people will continue to participate. Do you know why?"

Without waiting for Ah Guang to answer, he continued: "Because, the less powerful they are, the more they value their own face. Even if they have no chance of winning, they will definitely not not participate, because that would be equivalent to admitting that they are The skills are inferior to others. In addition, everyone has more or less a gambler mentality, and they think that maybe this time they will not happen to meet those powerful low-level players. With this idea, they Will play again and again."

How could there be such a thing? !After hearing what Ogata said, Aguang couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"Ah."

Seeing his own reaction, Ogata couldn't help but chuckled, and then he looked at Aguang and said with certainty: "'The chess player's game fee is set according to the game results', I don't need to explain this one again. ?”

"Yeah." Ah Guang replied simply.

The reason why those people desperately want to rise to the top is to get a higher income.In the "Sai Cup", they may not even be able to successfully pass the preliminaries. Even if they barely squeeze into the late stage of the schedule, they cannot get a lot of money because the game fee is linked to the results. It will be difficult to maintain the level.

Not to mention the loss of face, the income has also been greatly reduced. Such a bad deal, but they still have to grit their teeth and continue, because their self-esteem does not allow themselves to admit that they are inferior to others.And even if they object to this competition in their hearts in the future, few people will stand up, after all, that would be equivalent to admitting defeat indirectly.Unless a large number of chess players unite to object with some high-sounding reasons, however, that will have to wait for many years.

"This is just the beginning." Ogata said after a pause.

"Just the beginning?" Ah Guang repeated in confusion.

"Yes." The smile on the corner of Ogata's mouth deepened a bit, "Because, in the near future, such a system will be applied to all domestic competitions, and this is also the meaning of the chairman of the Chess Academy."

"!" At this moment, Ah Guang was completely stunned.
