Chapter 103 Teacher, does this child have the talent to be a professional chess player?

Time passed quickly and soon it was Saturday.

Generally speaking, Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei would go to the store to prepare at around nine o'clock, even on weekends. For people in the catering industry, holidays are almost non-existent.

But today was a rare exception. Even though it was already past nine o'clock, neither of them went to the store, but stayed at home.

They had already contacted the retired professional first-dan player in advance, and today was the day to take Yu Shao to the Go tutoring class so that he could test Yu Shao's level.

"Yu Shao, it's nine o'clock. Why are you taking so long to wash your face and brush your teeth? Hurry up."

In the living room, Cai Xiaomei couldn't help but urge.

“Right away!”

In the bathroom, Yu Shao looked somewhat helpless. After quickly brushing his teeth, he turned on the faucet and simply washed his face. Then he finally walked out of the bathroom and said, "Okay."

"Okay, let's go. Don't keep Teacher Su waiting."

Yu Dongming glanced at his watch, walked to the door, opened it, and said as he changed his shoes, "Let's buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast and eat them in the car."

The three of them quickly left home, bought some soy milk and fried dough sticks downstairs, then walked to the parking space, drove out, and rushed to the Go tutoring class.

After about twenty minutes, the car stopped.

In the main driving seat, Yu Dongming unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Okay, we're here, get out of the car."

Yu Shao opened the car door and got out. In front of him was a Go tutoring class with exquisite decoration.

The signboard of the Go tutoring class is seven huge black and white chess pieces. On each chess piece there is a Chinese character written in a flamboyant style, and when combined they read - Yidao Go Tutoring Class.

"Old Yu, why is there a typo here?" Cai Xiaomei looked at the sign at the door, a little confused: "The word yi in 'playing chess' shouldn't be this word, right?"

"I don't know."

Yu Dongming smiled and proudly showed off in front of his wife: "This is intentional. More than a hundred years ago, there was a chess master who had never lost a game after the age of 23. His name was Shen Yi."

"His Yi is this Yi. Although he has been dead for many years, he is still the idol of many chess players. So many people say the way of chess, which is actually the way of Yi."

Cai Xiaomei suddenly realized and said, "So it was Shen Yi? I've heard of him. I occasionally see short videos about him. I heard that he was too strong and had no rivals. He died of depression. It's amazing."

"Yeah, this is something I don't understand at all. Isn't it good to be invincible? And you're still depressed about it?"

Yu Dongming also shook his head with some emotion, and then said to Yu Shao: "Go in, and be respectful when you see Teacher Su later. He is a former professional chess player. Remember to call him teacher. Do you hear me?"

Seeing Yu Shao nod, Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei pushed open the glass door of the tutoring class and walked in.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the game room. Before they pushed the door open, they heard the crisp "da da" sound of pieces falling.

Yu Dongming stopped at the door and knocked.

After a while, a thin man about thirty-five years old opened the door.

The man was a little surprised to see that it was Yu Dongming. He smiled and said, "Oh, Boss Yu is here? So early?"

After saying that, he glanced at Yu Shao again and asked, "Is this Mr. Yu's son? He's quite handsome!"

"Yes, Teacher Su, this is my son."

Yu Dongming quickly took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and handed it to the man. At the same time, he glared at Yu Shao and said, "Call me Teacher Su."

Yu Shao spoke obediently and called out, "Teacher Su."

Su Chengping took the cigarette from Yu Dongming with a smile and said, "Boss Yu, you said on the phone that your son wants to be a professional chess player?"

"right."

Yu Dongming sighed and said, "My son said he beat a former dan-chao boy and wanted to become a professional chess player. My wife and I don't understand anything about this, so I brought it here for you to take a look, Teacher Su."

"Being able to beat a former dan-chao boy shows that he is quite capable."

Su Chengping glanced at Yu Shao and said with a smile, "But beating a young chess player and becoming a professional chess player are two different things, not to mention a former young chess player."

"That's right, this guy taught himself how to play Go. I wouldn't have known if he hadn't told me before."

Yu Dongming nodded and said, "So I also think this is not very reliable, but it seems that this kid really wants to be a professional chess player, so I brought him here to ask Teacher Su to give him some advice."

"He taught himself how to play Go, and he even beat a former dan-chao boy?"

Hearing this, Su Chengping was stunned, looked at Yu Shao with some surprise, and said: "Even if he was a former junior, he is indeed very talented."

"How can I compare with you, Teacher Su? You are a professional chess player, but you retired due to health reasons. Otherwise, you might still be a big shot in the professional arena!"

Yu Dongming said with a smile.

Su Chengping felt relieved after hearing this. It was indeed partly due to his poor health that he retired so early.

"All right."

Su Chengping nodded and said, "It just so happens that the kids are all playing games right now. I'll play a game with him to see how strong he is."

Hearing this, Yu Dongming's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly said, "Thank you so much, Teacher Su. Next time you come to eat hotpot, I'll give you a free meal."

"It's just a small matter."

Su Chengping shook his head and smiled, then looked at Yu Shao and said, "He taught himself Go and was able to beat a former dan-chao boy. He is indeed very talented. I want to see it for myself. Don't just stand there, come in."

"We can just sit on the sofa outside and wait, so as not to disturb the children inside playing chess. We can't understand it anyway." Yu Dongming waved his hand quickly and declined with a smile.

"Okay."

Su Chengping nodded, looked at Yu Shao, and said with a smile: "Your name is Yu Shao, right? Come in."

Yu Shao nodded and followed Su Chengping into the game room.

After walking into the game room and seeing the scene inside, Yu Shao was a little surprised.

“So many people?”

The game room was very large, and there were nearly two hundred people, all playing in pairs. There were both men and women, some looked only seven or eight years old, and some looked sixteen or seventeen years old.

As for adults, there are none here. After all, this place is dedicated to teaching teenagers chess, so they probably don't accept adults.

They were all extremely focused on the game and didn't pay any attention to Yu Shao at all. They just lowered their heads and looked at the chessboard. There was a faint sense of tension in the air.

"This must be profitable, right?"

Yu Shao did some calculations. He had just seen the price list outside. The price for one year of lessons was as high as 6,000 yuan. For these two hundred students, the price would be 1.2 million yuan a year.

Moreover, these students only come on weekends, which means that Su Chengping only needs to work two days a week and can easily earn a million dollars a year.

Su Chengping led Yu Shao to an empty chess table, pulled out a chair and sat down, then smiled at Yu Shao and said, "You can sit down too."

Yu Shao nodded, walked to Su Chengping, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Seeing Yu Shao sitting down, Su Chengping asked with a smile: "Do you want to play black or white?"

"Guess first and decide."

Yu Shao spoke up.

Hearing this, Su Chengping couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It is definitely a good thing to be able to decide whether to play black or white. After all, some people like to play black because they are more proactive by playing first, but some people like to play white because black pieces have big handicap points and white pieces can strike back later.

But Su Chengping didn't say anything in the end. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, let's guess first."

After saying that, Su Chengping took the lead in grabbing a handful of white pieces and held them in his palm.

Seeing this, Yu Shao immediately took out a black piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard.

Su Chengping also loosened his hand at this time, and the chess piece bounced onto the chessboard.

"Two, four, six."

Su Chengping smiled and said, "Six, I'll play black."

Yu Shao nodded, put the black piece on the chessboard back into the chess box, exchanged the chess box with Su Chengping, and said with his head down: "Please give me more advice."

"Please advise me."

Su Chengping also returned the gift immediately.

Su Chengping looked at the chessboard, thought for two seconds, then picked out the black piece and gently placed it on the board.

clatter.

The chess pieces fell, making crisp sounds.

Seventeen columns and four rows, small mesh.

"This is the first time I've truly played chess with a professional chess player from this world..."

Yu Shao looked at the black piece on the chessboard, his eyes flickering slightly.

Although Wu Shuheng was a professional chess player before, that was a game with handicap, so it cannot be considered that he was truly playing chess with professional chess players in this world.

This time, it was his first time to compete against a professional chess player. Although he was a retired player, at least he was not giving a handicap.

Yu Shao pondered for a moment, then quickly picked up the chess piece and put it down gently.

clatter.

Four columns and four rows, stars.

"Star?"

Su Chengping saw Yu Shao's move and fell into deep thought.

"Since we want to judge his chess ability, it is best to introduce a complex game, but not too aggressive attacks. The truth can be seen in the subtleties, which best reflects his understanding of Go."

"Then... let's make a mistake."

Thinking of this, Su Chengping picked up the chess piece and put it down gently.

clatter.

Sixteen columns and seventeen rows, small mesh.

Yu Shao lowered his eyes to look at the chessboard and soon made another move.

Four columns and sixteen rows, stars.

The two of them quickly formed a layout of wrong small eyes against two consecutive stars, and they kept making moves alternately. The crisp sounds of the moves echoed in the game room.

Soon, both sides made more than twenty moves.

“Hmm…”

Su Chengping looked at the chessboard and nodded secretly in his heart.

"At least from these twenty or so steps, the layout is very solid, and there is not much to criticize."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chengping picked up the chess piece again and put it down gently.

Ten columns and sixteen rows, disassembled.

Seeing the black piece fall, Yu Shao immediately picked up the chess piece without thinking and placed it on the chessboard.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Da! Thirteen columns and four rows, click! "Click right here?!"

Seeing this move, Su Chengping was slightly stunned.

In this move, if the white pieces are sharp, maintain the blockade, and divide the black pieces to prevent them from flying over or escaping, then this will still be a very long game.

However, the white piece directly clicks here, and its intention to fight is obvious. It is threatening to attack the two black pieces on the right wing fiercely to test the black piece's response!

"This kid, even though he knew he was facing a professional chess player, did not flinch at all and played extremely fiercely!"

Su Chengping frowned slightly, looked at the chessboard, and fell into thought.

"If you want stability, you can directly calm the situation down, and the situation will tend to ease. But if you approach them directly, the situation will become extremely intense, and it will soon trigger a local war that will affect the entire situation!"

“Hmm…”

If Su Chengping had followed his previous idea, he would have played this game with Yu Shao slowly, listening to the thunder in the silence to test Yu Shao's chess ability.

He also didn't think that Yu Shao would dare to fight against him, a professional chess player, because in a fierce battle, if he lost, it would be an extremely ugly loss.

However, seeing this move, that the white piece actually dared to take the initiative and start a war, Su Chengping's thoughts suddenly changed.

"Okay, in that case, come on!"

Su Chengping's eyes suddenly became sharper, and he quickly picked out the black piece and dropped it quickly.

"I want to become a professional chess player..."

"It's not as simple as you think!"

Da! The sound of the move was small, but deafening!

Thirteen rows of five elements, damn! Facing the threat of the white piece, the black piece was unwilling to be outdone, and directly approached it forcefully, using the strongest killing method to return the favor to the white piece.

The whole chess game was in turmoil as the black piece fell. Seeing the black piece approaching directly, Yu Shao remained calm and unmoved. He quickly picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly.

clatter.

clatter.

clatter.

Along with the sound of chess pieces dropping, the two sides continued to place their pieces alternately, and soon a fierce battle broke out in the lower right corner, with each side confronting each other and refusing to give an inch.

As the chess pieces continued to fall, Su Chengping's expression gradually changed.

His expression changed from calm at the beginning to increasingly solemn.

I was becoming more and more shocked in my heart!

"He... is not weak!"

"He didn't gain any advantage in the battle below, and he handled it flawlessly!"

"Just now I wanted to use my strength to directly attack the white piece, but he flew over to me completely beyond my expectations, not giving me a chance to breathe. This way... the two black pieces on the left are difficult to deal with!"

Su Chengping stared at the chessboard and fell into deep thought.

"If I jump away directly, he might come out to fight me. If I block him directly, Baizi still has the strong hand of abandoning the pieces!"

"If it's cut off, he turns and I stand, and White will never allow me to turn the head, then the situation will definitely grow... the situation between the two sides will be divided into two."

"If he jumps in the second space, I might be able to stop him. Even though the white piece takes the real ground, the black piece will have a chance to catch its breath!"

After a long time, Su Chengping finally picked up the chess piece again and placed it quickly on the chessboard.

Thirteen columns and sixteen rows, cut!

Seeing the black piece, Yu Shao picked up the chess piece without hesitation and put it down gently.

clatter.

Ten columns and nineteen rows, pounce! It was not the turn that Su Chengping had expected, nor was it a two-space jump, but rather—ten columns and nineteen rows, pounce!

Seeing this move, Su Chengping's eyes widened and he stood still.

"The white piece...directly attacked the black piece's formation?!"

This was a move that was completely beyond his expectations. He had not even thought about it in this direction. It was not until the white piece made this move that his hair stood on end!

"If you don't take it away, then this white piece will pierce into the black piece's belly, and the black and white pieces will fight to the death in the lower left corner. It's either you or me!"

"The victory or defeat in the lower left corner determines the victory or defeat of the whole situation. The battle for the lower left corner determines the battle for the whole situation. No matter who is on either side, if they are not careful, they will be wiped out!"

"The situation will be so complicated that it is unimaginable!"

Su Chengping could not help but grit his teeth, constantly analyzing the situation and deducing the subsequent changes.

"If it is taken away, then the black pieces will tighten up and the white pieces will be able to gain a strong position, but the situation will also be much more relaxed..."

Su Chengping was caught in a dilemma.

He knew very well that this move of his would directly determine the subsequent development direction of the game.

After a long time, Su Chengping finally picked up the chess piece and slowly put it down.

Nine columns and nineteen rows, raise! …………

In the lobby outside the game room, Cai Xiaomei sat on the sofa and asked her husband anxiously, "How long will it take?"

"It's only been half an hour. Even though I don't know how to play Go, it should take at least two hours, right?"

Yu Dongming glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "What? You can't wait any longer?"

"It's not that I can't wait. I'm not that impatient."

Cai Xiaomei shook her head, sighed, and said, "I'm worried about Xiao Shao. He was full of confidence in wanting to become a professional chess player. If he loses miserably, it will be a big blow to him, right?"

Hearing this, Yu Dongming didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Old Yu, you didn't even bother to tell Teacher Su to show some mercy. Xiao Shao is a self-taught Go player, after all. He won first place in the competition, so he must be a little proud and complacent."

Cai Xiaomei couldn't help but complain, "How can you come here and play chess with a professional chess player? You might as well find a young player who is trying to get promoted."

"The problem is that I don't know him."

Yu Dongming was immediately at a loss for words and said, "Where can I find a young man who can get promoted to a dan level? It just so happens that Teacher Su often comes to our hot pot restaurant for dinner, so that's how we got to know each other."

"So what do you think we should do if Xiao Shao is finally defeated? After all, he only taught himself how to play Go. If he hadn't told us, we wouldn't even know about it."

Cai Xiaomei worriedly asked, "How can a self-taught person compete with professional chess players?"

"But didn't Xiao Shao agree to it himself?"

Yu Dongming said: "Sometimes it's good to let children suffer some setbacks. Otherwise, how can they know the immensity of the world?"

Just as Cai Xiaomei was about to speak, she saw the door of the game room suddenly open, and then Su Chengping walked out.

"Teacher Su is out?"

Cai Xiaomei was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Shao... lost so quickly?"

Yu Dongming was also stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he immediately took out his cigarette box, walked quickly to Su Chengping, took out a cigarette and handed it to Su Chengping, and asked with a smile: "Teacher Su, are you done? So soon?"

Su Chengping didn't take the cigarette. He glanced at Yu Dongming, and after a long while he nodded slightly, his voice a little hoarse: "It's finished."

Yu Dongming was somewhat puzzled, but he still asked the question that concerned him the most: "Teacher, does this child... have the talent to be a professional chess player?"
