[Comprehensive] Chess God Returns

When the China-Japan-Korea Go Exchange Tournament started, an opening ceremony was specially held in order to show importance.

When the chess players from the three countries entered the arena one by one, the lineup of players shocked the crowd who came to watch, as well as the people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV.

How did Taya Yukihiro end up in the Chinese team?Is he a staff member?Um!He must be the staff leading the team!

Everyone shouted silently in their hearts.Because no one would believe that Japan's top chess player, Toya Yukihiro, actually went to China to develop this matter after retiring.Everyone agrees tacitly that Mr. Taya is the staff, so that they can deceive themselves for a while.

But when the organizer introduced Taya Yukiyo as a player of the Chinese team with certainty, everyone could no longer deceive themselves about the fact that Mr. Taya really joined the Chinese team.Although there was a bit of rumor before, everyone thought it was just fake news, but they didn't expect it to happen like this.

The reporters rushed forward excitedly, handed over the microphone, and asked, "Mr. Taya, didn't you announce your retirement before? Why did you join the Chinese team now? Would this not be too bad for your chess fans?" good?"

"Retiring does not mean that I will stop playing chess. I joined the Chinese team just because I can have a better platform for playing chess." Ta Yayukiyo replied calmly.

"Do you mean that Japanese Go is not as good as China?" The reporter dug a big hole for Toyayuhiro quietly. No matter whether he said that Japanese Go is stronger or Chinese Go is stronger, he will definitely Offend one party.

Wang Xin, the captain of the Chinese team, took the microphone, avoided this sensitive topic, and said: "This matter is not comparable. The Three Kingdoms Go Exchange Tournament has only been held three times today, and each of the three countries has its own winners and losers. , I can only say that everyone should do their best. As for who is stronger, let's see the outcome on the chessboard!"

Wang Xin, the Chinese captain, has put down the gauntlet ahead of time.

Then the Chinese team joined the South Korean team, and the players who participated in this competition were all familiar old acquaintances. Everyone has used this platform to compete several times.

Although Taya Yukihiro is no longer in the Japanese team, as long as he participates in the competition, everyone will inevitably fight. When the opponents of the two countries look at each other, this kind of anxious tension comes.No one paid attention to the original gossip question anymore, they were all busy asking questions about the game.

The Japanese team, as the host, played the finale.

Yiliu led the team, and when the ten players came out one by one, it set off a small climax in the crowd.

Because in this person, a child actually appeared!

It's definitely a child, not a matter of height, nor a matter of tenderness, but a really underage child.Everyone immediately remembered the list published by Weiqi Weekly a month ago.

When the list appeared, many people thought the list was wrong when they saw the 15-year-old chess players, and they were amateurs. Some even wrote to the editorial department of the channel to ask for corrections.However, there has been no follow-up news about this matter. Everyone agrees that the editorial department of Weiqi Weekly probably also acquiesced in this mistake, and silently corrected it. Has there been any news after not reading this matter?It must have been a small editor who made a mistake at the moment, and now it has been solved secretly.

No one thought that this list was actually true. Didn't you see the childish look on that child's face?To say that he is 15 years old is to say that he is older. He looks like a primary school graduate, okay?Did you go in the wrong place, kid?In particular, he is still standing behind the burly Kurata sixth-dan, which is quite a strong contrast, the visual effect should not be too obvious, the chess player named Fujiwara Sakai looks smaller by the big Kurata up.

Organizers, did you really arrange this on purpose?It's a good test for everyone's heart, almost can't breathe, okay?

After the contestants from the Three Kingdoms sat down on the competition seats, the organizer simply reiterated the rules of the exchange competition and announced the start of the competition.After all, it has been held for several times, and anyone who pays a little attention to Go knows this game.

Ten players from each country will participate in the competition. The first round and the second round are knockout rounds. After the players draw lots, they will assign their opponents. Start the round robin competition, the one with the most victories will be the current champion, and the organizer will provide generous bonuses.Of course, the amount of prize money is secondary, and the main thing is the issue of reputation. This kind of exchange competition is an international competition anyway, and no matter what, it must bring glory to the country.

The knockout round went on quickly, and the lottery was drawn immediately after the opening ceremony. Zuo Wei's opponent in the first round was South Korea's Lee Min-seo [-]th Dan. He is considered the top strength of Korean Go, but no one can come here to participate in the competition. The lamps are all the upper echelons of the Go world in various countries.

Li Minxi's performance in the last competition was good, and he successfully entered the round-robin competition. However, due to his unsatisfactory performance later on, he was barely at the bottom of the 8 players in the round-robin competition. After two years of adjustments, he is very confident that he can enter the top five this year.

Especially when his opponent is a 15-year-old amateur player, his confidence is even greater.No matter what the Japanese side thinks about pushing such a child to the fore, it cannot change its nature of being too childish.An amateur?a child?They are probably at a loss because of Taya Yukihiro's retirement.

"Please teach me a lot, kid!"

"Please teach me more!" Zuo Wei could see the disdain in the eyes of this Korean chess player, but Zuo Wei didn't care, his Go would tell everyone.

After signing up for this competition, Zuo Wei knew that he might need to bear more doubts in the future.But he will never shrink back because of these doubts, his Go has always only moved forward, not backward.

After the chess game started, the whole venue became quiet, only the sound of "tuk tuk tuk" falling.There was almost no voice of conversation in the venue. Even if someone wanted to speak, they kept their voices down as much as possible, for fear of disturbing the train of thought of the chess players.

In such a depressing and quiet environment, someone suddenly stood up and accidentally kicked down the chair. One can imagine how obvious and abrupt this behavior is.

So almost the next second when the chair fell to the ground, all the people in the venue turned their gazes away.

"Impossible! I....I actually lost!" Li Minxi could hardly control her trembling hands. She tried to take out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her sweat several times, but she failed to find the entrance of her pants pocket.

"Thank you for your advice!" Zuo Wei nodded slightly and said.

"Boom~" There was an explosion in the venue. No one thought that it had only been half an hour since the game started, and someone had already ended the game early!This is not an ordinary game. You must know that such a contest between top chess players is generally unlimited in time, which means that everyone has enough time to think about each move of the opponent, and then come up with a countermeasure. Because they are all masters, it is normal for this game to take a day or two to finish. Didn't you see that there is a rule like "seal the game"?It is for this kind of top competition.

Now there are two people who don't follow the rules and finish the game in less than an hour. How did this happen?Looking at the two people who were already clearing the chessboard, the people around didn't know what to say anymore.

Even if one of the chess players likes rapid chess, it is impossible for the other player to use rapid chess to deal with it.Unless there is a last resort, very few people choose to use rapid chess to play in large-scale competitions. It is easy to miss the situation and cause mistakes.

And it's fine that the chess game ended early, the most important thing is that the ending of this chess game was also very unexpected, it was the 15-year-old amateur player who was not expected to win.Li Minxi [-]th dan, is your Korean Go no longer good?You are a majestic nine-dan player who lost to a player who is not even a professional chess player. What about your dignity?

"You....Which Sai are you, or the treasure of chess?" Li Minxi asked suddenly.

"Uh~ why do you ask that?" Zuo Wei had already stood up and was about to leave, but when he heard the other party's question, he had to stop.

"I have played chess with both of them on the Internet. You...your chess is very similar to theirs, but I can't tell which one you are." Li Minxi looked at Zuo Wei, hoping to get an answer.

It can be said that hearing Li Minxi's question in the venue, they couldn't help holding their breath, wanting to hear the answer of this amateur player who defeated a nine-dan chess player.

There were indeed rumors before that Sai and Chess Baby were both children, but because there was no definite news, and no one was willing to believe such absurd speculation that such a powerful chess player would be a child, there has not been much market for such rumors. many.

But today, this question was asked again from a nine-dan chess player, and everyone couldn't help being nervous.

"It's indeed me." Zuowei nodded and admitted, he had disclosed this news to Ogata and Taya Ryo before, and it's not something he couldn't say.This Li Minxi said that he played chess with him, but Zuo Wei couldn't remember it, probably it was the cannon fodder he abused when he was in a bad mood.

"I'm going back first. Let's play chess together when you have time. You can find me online." Zuo Wei nodded to Li Minxi, grabbed a staff member of the chess academy and asked, "Can I leave early? I have something to do in the afternoon."

"Yes... yes." The staff member stammered, already surprised by Zuo Wei's identity and his chess strength.

"Thank you, tell Ogata and Kurata for me. By the way, there is also Mr. Yiliu. The family has to leave beforehand." Zuo Wei ended the chess game in such a brave hour today, on the one hand, he wanted to be frustrated Li Minxi's vigor, on the other hand, is indeed urgent at home, because grandpa came to Tokyo from Kobe today, and Zuo Wei is in a hurry to go home for reunion, he hasn't seen grandpa for a long time.

"That... Fujiwara-kun, don't forget to draw lots in advance tomorrow." Facing Fujiwara Sakai who had already walked away, the confused staff member remembered what he should remind, and hurriedly shouted.

Zuo Wei turned his head from a distance, waved his hand, indicating that he had received it, and left quickly.

After Zuo Wei left, the chess game in the venue continued. Of course, many people's hearts were not at peace.

Li Minxi, who had already been beaten and couldn't hold his head up, suddenly thought, "He still hasn't made it clear, which one is he, Sai or Chess Baby, and it can't be both?"
