I love you for ten years like a day

It's not like such a young champion, I mean he is too low-key, I thought it would be someone like Gao Yongxia. "He Gu said in surprise.

Yi Jiao at the side said seriously. "As far as I know, there is no particularly proud person in the Chinese Chess Academy, because there are too many masters of the same age."

Yijiao still has a fresh memory of his learning experience at the Chinese Chess Academy two years ago. In the Chinese Chess Academy, there are many teenage masters. Almost every time he plays against others, he ends up in a disastrous defeat.

"Everyone, maybe it's not good for me to say this, but I think your real opponent is the Chinese team."

Because of Yijiao's words, the Japanese team was silent for a moment, and the oppressive atmosphere before the game instantly enveloped everyone's hearts. The opponents in this game are too strong!

(Fifty)

The next day, there was nothing else to do except the opening ceremony in the afternoon, and everyone spent time preparing for the battle.In the evening, Kurata held a meeting with everyone with the newly confirmed game schedule.

Competition format:

A total of 48 participants from 240 countries and regions participated.

In the first round of qualifiers, the team will draw lots and play in groups, and the winning players will advance to the next stage. It will take 1 day.

In the second round of qualifiers, 120 entered into 60, and the draw was divided into two groups, which took 1 day.

In the third round of qualifiers, 60 entered into 30, and the draw was divided into two groups, which took 1 day.

In the fourth round of the semi-finals, 30 will enter 10, and the points match will be divided into groups of 3 people. The winners will enter the finals, which will take three days.

3 days rest before finals.

The fifth round of the finals, the top 10 points ranking competition, took 9 days.

One day for the final awards ceremony.

The whole game cycle is about 20 days. For the young players of the Japanese team, they don't have much exposure to such a compact game.This is also what Kurata is most worried about, because everyone is more concerned about patience and endurance later on.

After the opening ceremony, the Japanese team drew lots to the Singapore team. Although the opponents were unknown, everyone did not dare to take it lightly.

"Tomorrow's competition system is a team game. Winners will advance to the next level, and losers will be eliminated. It's not based on a team, so you might meet a particularly good player from the other side. Everyone, let's rest early today. There is plenty of time before the competition." Rest is the most important thing, otherwise you won't have the energy to play tomorrow."

Kurata babbled about something to pay attention to and ended the meeting.

Although it is said that everyone should go to bed early, no one can sleep at all. A total of 240 people from all over the world participated in the competition, and then they were selected layer by layer. In fact, everyone has no idea how far they can go.

That guy Shindo Hikari was very optimistic earlier, but the pre-match syndrome all came together on the eve of the real competition, and he couldn't sleep all night because of tossing and turning.It wasn't until the middle of the night that he quietly got into Ta Yaliang's bed and finally fell asleep.

Ta Yaliang woke up the next day and saw that the light took up half of his bed, which was very angry and funny.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, players from all over the world gathered in the lobby of the hotel, and several tourist buses picked up the players back and forth to the competition venue.

The venues for the first four rounds of competitions were all in the Beijing Gymnasium. Nuoda’s gymnasium has been set up as a Go arena, with the main podium, referee seats, hundreds of tables neatly arranged, and media cameras surrounding interviews. Everything looks very good. Nervous and solemn.

"Wow, is everyone going to play chess together at the same time?" He Gu felt that his hands were shaking slightly because of nervousness.

"I didn't expect it to be held at the same time. I thought it would be divided into sessions."

"Amazing……"

Not only the Japanese team, but all the participating players felt this way. The scene of more than 200 people playing chess at the same time was too shocking.

The first round of qualifiers started promptly at 9:[-].

Although the number of participants is large, the speed of elimination is also very fast.

In the first two games, 240 scored 120 and 120 scored 60. The Japanese team passed smoothly. That guy Kurata was lucky.

Because all members have been promoted for two consecutive games, everyone's morale is high.

On the third day, the third round of qualifiers was 60 to 30. At 9:30, the lottery was divided into groups before the game.

Every time the lottery is drawn into groups, it is a heart-pounding process. When Kurata came to the stage to draw lots, everyone's hearts were in their throats.As the game progresses, the chances of encountering a strong opponent will greatly increase the further you go.

After the three guys, Wada, Shachun and Shinto Hikari, came to the stage to draw lots in Kurata, they couldn't help but meditate, don't meet a strong opponent so soon.Taya Ryo and Nakamura Koji sneered at the three people's behavior of praying, which is simply too embarrassing!

Fortunately, Kurata lived up to expectations, and the Japanese team did not meet China and South Korea in the qualifiers.

But the South Korean team obviously did not have such good luck. The only female player of the South Korean team, Zhang Yezhen, actually got the ace of the Chinese team, Liu Yue!

The captain of the South Korean team even wanted to chop his hands, how could he be so recited!

But for other players, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!With this first confrontation between the South Korean team and the Chinese team, we can test how strong Liu Yue, the ace of the Chinese team, is!

The players from China, Japan and South Korea did not leave after the game, and stayed on the spot to watch the match between the South Korean team Zhang Yezhen and the Chinese team Liu Yue.

Hikari won in the middle game, and when the game ended and joined everyone, Taya Ryo and Kurata were resuming the game in the vacant seats on the side of the stadium.

"Where did the game go?" Guang asked softly, so as not to disturb the players who were still playing.

"Just now in the middle game, Zhang Yizhen played very cautiously, but I feel that Liu Yue's strength is less than [-]%, I will arrange the order of moves for you and you will understand." Ta Yaliang said.

In this game, Zhang Yizhen conceded before she could make the final count. Her chess moves were pressed by Liu Yue from the very beginning, and finally drove her into a dead end. Zhang Yizhen's chess moves have collapsed and there is no point in continuing significance.

Zhang Yizhen left the scene crying and comforted by her companions.

The Japanese team then left.

In the evening, everyone gathered in Kurata's room to study the game during the day.

Liu Yue hadn't used his full strength to defeat the top 4 of the South Korean team. For a while, this matter was like a terrifying atmosphere that enveloped everyone.

Hikaru couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning all night, and finally ran to Taya Ryo's bed again to fall asleep.

When I went to the arena for the semi-finals the next day, the referee teacher re-announced the rules, saying that the 30-to-10 format of the semi-finals had been changed.

In order to prevent the strongest players from fighting in the semi-finals too early, the organizer changed the lottery grouping to the top 30 chess players. According to the record of chess players from different countries in the audition, 10 players will be selected as the champions, and then the lottery will be allocated. For two opponents, if the leader wins all the matches, he will advance to the next round, and if he fails, the player with all victories in the group will advance.

Later, everyone heard that the temporary change of the rules was due to strong complaints from the Korean Chess Academy, saying that the random match system of lottery made it a big flaw for capable chess players to fight prematurely.Because of the Korean Chess Academy's complaint, the organizer changed the format of the semi-finals overnight.

Then the referee teacher announced the list of champions on the spot.

"Chinese team Liu Yue Zhang Minghao, Japanese team Taya Ryo Shin Fujimitsu, South Korean team Gao Yongxia Li Shijun, Hong Kong team...European team...Taiwan team..."

Because it is an international competition, the list of champions also comes from different countries. Because the Three Kingdoms are the strongest, the top two are the champions.

Then draw lots to assign opponents to the champion.

South Korea's top 2 players Gao Yongxia and Li Shijun's group did not draw players from the Three Kingdoms.

Then came the Japanese team's top 2 players Taya Ryo and Shinto Hikari. Taya Ryo did not draw players from the Three Kingdoms, followed by Shinto Hikaru.

I don't know if it's because the god of luck no longer favors him, but Guang's team actually drew two members of the South Korean team!

The members of Guang's team are: Jin Tengguang's [-]th dan, Jin Huan's [-]th dan, and Hong Xiuying's [-]th dan.

For a while, the Japanese and South Korean teams were shocked.

The Japanese team calmed down quickly, and just looked in the direction of the South Korean team, just as the other team was also looking at him.

And the South Korean team captain's face is even more ugly, because no matter what happens in this group, the South Korean team will be eliminated by one player, and if the Japanese team's Mitsu Shinto wins all, the South Korean team will be eliminated by two players. This is a very heavy loss. !

This result really made the South Korean team very angry, but they asked for an adjustment to the competition system!Moreover, the grouping was announced on the spot by lottery, which was absolutely fair, and the atmosphere was really embarrassing because I was holding my breath and couldn't break out on the spot.

Then the rest of the groups came out soon. Hegu was divided into a group with Song Shixuan of the Chinese team, She Qingchun was divided into a group with Leping of the Chinese team, and Koji Nakamura was divided into a group with two foreign players.

(51)

The semi-final officially begins, which lasts for 3 days. There will be 3 games in the group. If the main team wins, there is no need to play the third game.

In the first game of the semi-finals, Shindo Hikaru played against Hong Xiuying.

Hong Xiuying can be said to be Guang's old opponent, and the feeling of the two sitting together against Yi is already very familiar.

"Shinto, we met again in the competition." Hong Xiuying stared at Shinto Hikari.

It's one thing to have a good relationship in private, but it's another thing to have a good relationship with Hong Xiuying brought to him by Hikari Shinto. Today he has to avenge himself no matter what!

Hong Xiuying faced Hikari Shinto with determination!

But compared to Hong Xiuying's palpable determination, Guang seemed much calmer.

"Well, we see you again, Xiuying, please give me your advice."

Hong Xiuying froze for a moment, remembering that Hikari Shinto would yell about who to defeat at every turn, but Hikari Shinto now has a feeling that he can't figure out.

"Please
