Chapter 179 Then he will use his chess to tell me in person

You have to know that, although both are Shodan, there is a big difference between being a Shodan who has just become Shodan and being a Shodan who has been in the professional world for a while.

Because the training in professional competitions can make a chess player mature quickly.

Only by being in the professional arena and feeling the atmosphere of fierce competition can one hone the sense of smell, will, judgment, and concentration that are unique to professional chess players.

Because of this, beginner chess players who have just been promoted need to adapt to this process and often find it difficult to win a game. There are beginner chess players who can win all the way right after they have been promoted, but they are not many.

"Although he participated in the national team qualifiers midway, his points are not low after winning three sets in a row. The more he wins, the stronger the opponents he will face."

"If he has three consecutive wins, then..."

A boy with acne all over his face couldn't help but look towards the fifth table, and cast his eyes on a young man with a middle part and glasses, about 18 years old, sitting at one side of the fifth table.

"Tong Lecheng 3rd Dan was not in good form recently and lost several games in a row. Now his points have dropped."

"Will Tong Lecheng be the third dan... and end his winning streak?"

Like him, many people looked at Tong Lecheng at table five, obviously having the same idea.

Of course, they were just making wild guesses, because several qualifiers had already been played, and there were actually many opponents that could be matched with the points of three consecutive wins.

But among them, Tong Lecheng is the most special.

The reason why he is only a third dan is not because his chess skills are only a third dan, but because, since he became a professional chess player two years ago, he has always been at the top of the points in every tournament.

Because the further you advance in your game, the more likely you are to encounter higher-ranking players, and then it will be easier to lose. Losing lowers your overall winning rate, causing your rank to rise more slowly. This is also the consequence of not participating in the promotion tournament.

"Could it be him?"

…

…

"The next national team qualifier will be in ten days, and we will also have to play a Yingjiao Cup qualifier during this period."

After finishing his meal in the chess academy cafeteria, Yu Shao prepared to leave the academy and go home. As he walked towards the entrance of the academy, he was thinking.

There are many Go competitions in the world. After becoming a professional player, you have to play two games a week on average, which means about ten games a month.

Even if there are no competitions during the holidays, I would still have to play a hundred games a year, without taking into account that some competitions may be played over a short period of time, for several consecutive days.

In a year, probably nearly one-third of my time is spent playing games, and to be honest, it's really tiring.

"Yu Shao first dan?"

Just as Yu Shao was thinking, a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Yu Shao's thoughts were interrupted by the voice. He stopped and turned to look behind him with some confusion.

A tall and thin young man, about thirty years old, walked towards Yu Shao quickly with a smile on his face, and soon stopped in front of Yu Shao.

"Who are you?"

Yu Shao felt that this young man seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a moment, and asked in confusion.

"I'm Ding Huan, a reporter from the Southern Chess Academy. I was at your Xinhuo Battle a while ago."

Seeing that Yu Shao didn't think of him, Ding Huan felt a little embarrassed, but he wasn't surprised. He asked, "Do you have time now? I've always wanted to do an interview with you."

"Interview?"

Yu Shao was slightly startled.

Ding Huan nodded and said with a smile: "I have been thinking about when to do an exclusive interview with you. I happened to meet you today. Let's just chat for a few minutes. It won't take up much of your time. Is it convenient?"

After hearing what Ding Huan said, Yu Shao nodded, agreed, and said, "Okay."

Seeing Yu Shao's reaction, Ding Huan looked at Yu Shao with some surprise.

Generally speaking, beginner chess players will feel a little nervous and excited when they hear that they are going to be interviewed.

But Yu Shao acted surprisingly calm, and even gave Ding Huan the illusion that he was already familiar with giving interviews.

However, Ding Huan did not think much about it. He just thought that Yu Shao might have a calm personality. He smiled and said, "Then let's go to the interview room of the chess academy to talk."

There is also an interview room? Yu Shao was also a little surprised this time. He nodded and followed Ding Huan to the interview room.

The interview room of the chess academy is not big. There is only a round table in the room. On the table are two glass plates with mints, some biscuits and two bottles of water. There are two sofas on both sides of the table.

"Yu Shao Chudan, sit on the sofa over there for a while while I take down the camera."

Ding Huan walked into the lounge and smiled at Yu Shao, "I will ask you some questions later. You can answer them casually. If you feel it is difficult to answer, you don't have to answer. Don't be too restrained."

"good."

Yu Shao nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down.

Seeing Yu Shao falling, Ding Huan walked to the cabinet, unlocked it with the key, took out the camera from the cabinet, pointed the camera at Yu Shao, and fixed it with a tripod.

Ding Huan was obviously a senior reporter. He followed the procedures smoothly and quickly debugged the equipment. He then sat down on the sofa opposite Yu Shao.

"Yu Shao, just treat it as a chat with friends."

Ding Huan was still a little worried that Yu Shao would be nervous, so he smiled and said, "I'll just ask some simple questions."

"I know."

Yu Shao nodded and said, "You ask."

"As far as I know, you have never stayed in the dojo. You won all the games as an amateur and became a professional chess player."

Ding Huan smiled and asked, "So I'm curious, how long have you been learning Go?"

this……

Yu Shao never expected that Ding Huan would stump him with his first question.

Is this a simple question?

Yu Shao thought about it, and finally gave Ding Huan a number with some hesitation, saying, "Two to three years."

It would definitely not be a good idea to give too high a number. After all, if I said that I had been self-studying Go for seven or eight years, Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei would definitely know that, so I could only say that I had not been self-studying for too long.

"Three years?"

Ding Huan widened his eyes, subconsciously ignoring the two years in the two or three years, and asked in disbelief.

"Um."

Yu Shao nodded reluctantly, and suddenly felt a little regretful for accepting the interview.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After receiving Yu Shao's affirmative answer, Ding Huan couldn't help but take a breath, thought for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Who is your Go teacher? Although you are an amateur Go player, you should have a teacher to guide you, right?"

“I taught myself how to play Go.”

Yu Shao shook his head and said, "There is no teacher."

It was silent.

Ding Huan said nothing, staring at Yu Shao in astonishment, with a few words written all over his face - are you fucking kidding me?

It's fine if you can become a professional Go player after learning Go for three years, but you have to teach yourself?!

"In fact, I think it is precisely because I don't have a teacher that I am not bound by the rules of chess and can play chess completely according to my own feelings."

Yu Shao explained: "For example, the point three three, although there is a lot of debate about it online, I have always thought it is a good move. In the three games I have played so far, I chose the point three three in two games."

"How did these two games go?"

Hearing Yu Shao mention Dian San San, Ding Huan couldn't help but ask.

He still could not forget how shocked he was when Yu Shao made the three-three move in the Xinhuo Battle.

Let’s not discuss whether point 33 can be played or not, but this idea is indeed shocking. That game of chess turned the conclusion that point 33 cannot be played into the discussion of whether point 33 can be played or not.

really……

If a chess player comes from a dojo, it is absolutely impossible for him to play the 3-3 move, and he will not even think in this direction.

Only an amateur player like Yu Shao, who taught himself how to play Go without a teacher, could make such a rebellious move! "I'm currently on a three-game winning streak."

Yu Shao opened his mouth and answered.

Ding Huan couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and asked: "So, Yu Shao Chudan, do you think it is meaningless to enter the dojo to study?"

Hearing this, Yu Shao frowned slightly, thinking that this question was a bit sharp.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Shao shook his head and said, "No, entering the dojo is definitely not meaningless. The efforts made by the young man in the dojo are definitely not in vain."

Yu Shao paused, then continued: "But I think Go should be free."

"It has always been like this, but it may not be right."

"If entering a dojo means you have to follow the rules, then... it's better not to enter."

Hearing this, Ding Huan couldn't help but say, "But, that move of 3-3 isn't necessarily correct, right? Nowadays, there are more criticisms about this way of playing, and the vast majority of chess players still think it's wrong to play this way."

Yu Shao suddenly fell silent.

"If it's really wrong--"

After a moment, Yu Shao slowly raised his head, looked at Ding Huan, and said word by word: "Then let him tell me in person using his chess."

Hearing these words, Ding Huan was shocked and his eyes towards Yu Shao suddenly changed.

From these words, he vaguely felt a kind of arrogance to overthrow the old order and create a new pattern, as well as a determination to turn the world upside down.

In fact, no chess player denies the idea of ​​new changes after the 3-3 move.

Everyone was amazed at the fact that Yu Shao gave up the stubborn idea of ​​sticking to the opponent in the corner to survive, and instead climbed up the second lane, strictly aimed at the opponent's breakpoints, and declared his plan to compete for the Central Plains.

However, this does not mean that the world has approved of the move of Point 33. Those who deny this move are not only low-rank chess players, but also high-rank, ninth-rank, and even title holders! "He is not afraid of high-rank chess players, ninth-rank chess players, or title holders!"

"He issued his own declaration to the world chess community!"

"Or rather...a challenge!"

Ding Huan didn't know what kind of sensation this interview would cause if it was reported, but he could sense that it would cause a stir, and the world would remember the name Yu Shao! "This is not just a contest of chess skills, but also a contest of ideas!"

"In this fight, only the winner has the say!"
