Chapter 169 Ten Columns and Ten Rows

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Shao finally returned home after dinner.

Thinking of today's game of chess, Yu Shao pondered for a moment, walked into his bedroom, moved out the chess table, picked up the chess pieces and placed them one by one, and soon restored today's chess game.

"Kong Zi's attack and killing ideas are also eye-opening."

Yu Shao moved the chess pieces, analyzing the changes in the game.

In this game of chess, his own attacking ideas were actually inconsistent with Kong Zi's, but after understanding Kong Zi's ideas, he felt that there was no problem and just followed Kong Zi's ideas.

Kong Zi is good at making the chess pieces thicker and then launching a fierce attack. The attack is often powerful but slow. If he plays the game himself, he will pursue speed more. The disadvantage is that there will be more breakpoints and the chess pieces are thinner.

The two methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to tell which is better.

Although Kong Zi did not make any moves that were beyond his expectations, it was not because Kong Zi was too weak. It was just that he had a huge advantage on the board, and Kong Zi could maintain the advantage by playing normally.

This is the same principle as when an amateur 3rd dan faces a professional 9th ​​dan, or when an amateur 3rd dan faces a professional 1st dan. It is often impossible to tell the difference between the 9th dan and the 1st dan in the two games.

"As for this move, I really didn't expect it."

Yu Shao quickly looked down at the chessboard again and saw the move that Zhuang Weisheng had made.

Even though he was only reviewing the game afterwards, he could still hear the residual sound of the move. This move gave the white piece, which was originally doomed, a chance of coming back to life.

"Zhuang Weisheng..."

Yu Shao murmured the name softly, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"The chess players in this world really should not be underestimated..."

"To stand out in a world with such a strong Go atmosphere, one must have something extraordinary."

"But, that's fine."

Yu Shao stared at the chessboard intently for a long time. After a long time, he slowly took out the chess piece from the chess box and gently put it down.

Fourteen columns and ten rows, long! When this move was made, the black piece on the left side of the chessboard was blocked by itself, and it was in danger. It seemed to be a bad move, but if you look closely, when this move was made, the black piece in the middle and the black piece below actually formed a majestic killing force! "If it wasn't for this move, I wouldn't have discovered this move."

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard with flickering eyes.

…

…

The next day at noon, Yu Shao was about to go out for lunch when he suddenly received a call from Jiang Xiahua.

"To your house?"

Yu Shao was a little surprised when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Su Yiming is having a show today. Let's watch it together. I ordered some fried chicken and hamburgers. Let's eat together."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xiahua said, "And Monkey has been at my house these days. He insisted that I invite you over. After your Xinhuo War ended yesterday, I returned home and he was talking about this."

monkey?

Yu Shao was slightly stunned, but soon remembered that he was Jiang Xiahua's junior brother, who was eleven years old this year. He was eliminated in the qualifying stage of the tournament and seemed to be called Yuan Wenyi.

"OK."

Since he had nothing to do today, Yu Shao thought about it and decided not to refuse and agreed immediately.

The house that Jiang Xiahua rented in Jiangling was in the same district as Yu Shao's home, and the two were not far apart, so Yu Shao left home, took a taxi, and arrived at the gate of Jiangxi Xiahua's community in less than half an hour.

According to the address Jiang Xiahua gave on WeChat, Yu Shao quickly found the location of Jiang Xiahua's home, stood at the door and knocked.

“Here it comes!”

Soon, Jiang Xiahua's voice was heard in the room, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Not long after, Jiang Xiahua opened the door, and behind Jiang Xiahua, Yuan Wenyi, who was a head shorter than Jiang Xiahua, was looking at Yu Shao curiously, as if he was seeing Yu Shao for the first time.

"Coming?"

Jiang Xiahua had a complicated expression. He looked at Yu Shao deeply, then sighed and said, "No need to change your shoes. Come in."

"Why are you sighing?"

Seeing Jiang Xiahua's expression, Yu Shao was a little puzzled.

"He's sighing for himself."

Yuan Wenyi couldn't help laughing and said, "After all, his Xinhuo War is in stark contrast to your Xinhuo War. He came back yesterday and asked me if it was a mistake for him to join the dojo that year."

"Monkey, don't tear people apart when they are in trouble!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiahua couldn't help but glared at Yuan Wenyi, then walked to the refrigerator and asked, "What would you like to drink, Coke or Sprite?"

"Coke."

Yu Shao walked into Jiang Xiahua's living room and saw not only a large bucket of fried chicken and hamburgers on the guest table, but also a chessboard and chess box. The chessboard was already full of chess pieces. He asked, "Were you playing chess just now?"

"right."

Jiang Xiahua took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, handed it to Yu Shao, and said, "The Xinhuo War doesn't start until 1pm anyway, and I'm free anyway, so I played a game with Monkey, and it's over."

There was still more than half an hour before the Xinhuo Battle started at 1 p.m., and the three of them were eating fried chicken and chatting.

"Come to think of it, you should have decided which chess tournament you want to participate in, right?"

Jiang Xiahua turned his head to look at Yu Shao, and asked while eating fried chicken, "What are you planning to participate in?"

After today's Xinhuo War is over, the beginner chess players will officially step into the world of professional chess players. Now, beginner chess players have to prepare to participate in major chess competitions.

Yu Shao also had some knowledge about the recent competitions.

Among the recent events that can be registered, there are three title competitions, namely the National Master Competition, the Great Chess Player Competition, and the Celebrity Competition.

The so-called title battle is a competition for the title. There is no age limit or rank limit for registration. First, you have to pass several rounds of preliminaries to finally enter the main competition, and finally enter the challenge competition from the main competition.

After entering the challenge match, the challenger will face the previous title holder. The challenger will play three or five games against the previous title holder.

If the challenger wins the game, he or she will take the title. If he or she loses, the previous title holder will successfully defend the title and continue to retain it.

There are seven Go titles in China, namely, Tenth Dan, Go Saint, Go Saint, National Master, Great Go Player, Tianyuan, and Meijin.

Because other title battles have entered the main competition stage and cannot be registered, the only options currently available are the National Masters Battle, the Grand Chess Players Battle, and the Celebrity Battle.

In addition to the title match, there is also a cup competition and a championship competition that you can sign up for, namely the Yingjiao Cup and the New First Dan Championship.

The Yingjiao Cup is open to all chess players under the age of eighteen, regardless of gender, and offers generous prize money. The Chudan Championship can be said to be a competition specially held for chess players who advance to the Chudan level each year, and offers considerable prize money as well.

Because there are so many world competitions and many of them are held simultaneously, it is impossible to participate in all of them. Generally, you will sign up for a title battle and sign up for another competition at the same time.

Because the competition systems of various competitions are also different, some are single-elimination tournaments, some are round-robin tournaments, and the competitions are interspersed with each other.

This results in that sometimes, even if you sign up for two competitions at the same time, the champion of one competition has been decided, but the preliminaries of the other competition have not even ended.

In short, it's very complicated.

"It should be the National Team Tournament and the Yingjiao Cup, right?"

Yu Shao thought for a moment and replied, "What about you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I?"

Jiang Xiahua laughed and said, "I'll participate in all of them."

Hearing this, Yu Shao was slightly stunned, looked at Jiang Xiahua with some confusion, and asked: "Are you all participating?"

"Yes, currently it's the Meijin Tournament and the Shodan Tournament. Let's see if we can get eliminated."

Jiang Xiahua smiled and said, "If I am eliminated early in the first stage competition, and the registration for the Yingjiao Cup has not yet closed, I will continue to register for the Yingjiao Cup. After it is over, I will see if there are other competitions."

"The same goes for the title matches. If the celebrities can't do it, then the national players will do it. If the national players can't do it, then the great chess players will do it. If the great chess players can't do it, then the Tianyuan match should also start. If the Tianyuan match doesn't work, then the Chess Saint match will also come."

Hearing this, Yu Shao was slightly stunned.

This is indeed true. Most chess players will continue to participate in other chess competitions after being eliminated, because competitions are held frequently and there is no shortage of competitions to participate in.

"The Torch War is about to begin!"

At this moment, Yuan Wenyi suddenly noticed the image of a chessboard appearing on the laptop screen and reminded him.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiahua immediately looked at the computer screen, and Yu Shao followed suit.

On the computer screen, Su Yiming and Zhu Yi had already taken out chess pieces from the chess box and started guessing who would go first.

Soon, the result of guessing came out.

"Su Yiming and Han Ying, 9th dan, play black, while Zhu Yi and Fu Shunan, a great chess player, play white."

Jiang Xiahua turned his head to look at Yu Shao and asked, "Do you think the black piece will win or the white piece will win?"

Yu Shao looked at the computer screen and said, "Heizi."

"You are really not giving Teacher Fu Shunan face, are you?"

Jiang Xiahua's eyes widened and he said, "They are master and apprentice, and they know each other's chess very well. Moreover, Teacher Fu Shunan has won the Grand Chess Tournament three times in a row, so he is not just an ordinary ninth dan!"

After hearing Jiang Xiahua's words, Yu Shao did not refute, but just looked at the computer screen, waiting for Su Yiming to make his move.

Time passes by every second.

However, two minutes passed and Su Yiming had not made his first move.

"He's taking a long time to think?"

Jiang Xiahua looked stunned and a little bit incredulous, and asked, "Why do you have to think so long before making the first move?"

"really."

Yuan Wenyi also looked puzzled and asked, "What is he thinking about?"

Yu Shao also frowned slightly, also somewhat puzzled.

Yu Shao and the other two were not the only ones who felt puzzled.

There is a lot of attention on Su Yiming on the Internet. After all, Su Yiming, like Yu Shao, is also an amateur chess player who became a professional chess player as a dark horse in this ranking tournament.

But when everyone who was paying attention to the game saw Su Yiming start to think for a long time after his first move, they were all shocked.

Soon, a full ten minutes passed.

Su Yiming hasn't made a move yet.

"no……"

Seeing that Su Yiming had spent an incredible ten minutes thinking about his first move, Jiang Xiahua suddenly had an extremely uneasy premonition and asked anxiously, "What... is he going to do?"

Yu Shao stared at the computer screen in silence, frowning slightly.

finally.

When they saw Su Yiming's right hand holding the chess piece finally appear on the TV screen, Jiang Xiahua and Yuan Wenyi couldn't help but tremble slightly and stared at the TV screen closely.

The chess piece slowly fell down.

Ten columns and ten rows.

Tianyuan.

Suddenly, the whole place was silent! ...
