Chapter 183 The Immortals Are Numerous

Seeing this move, Jiang Changdong's expression changed instantly. He glanced at Zhang Dongchen opposite him, then looked at the chessboard in front of him again and fell into long thought.

“Click.”

After a long time, Jiang Changdong finally took out the chess piece from the chess box again and dropped it down at a high speed.

DA! The chess piece fell onto the board with a loud thump.

Zhang Dongchen also immediately took out a chess piece from the chess box and fell down shortly after him.

The fierce battle began.

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard. As both sides made their moves, he kept moving the mouse, writing down the moves and thinking silently in his mind.

"Although the white piece has turned the tables on the black piece, the situation can still change in countless ways. If we are not careful, we will lose everything. Anyone can be defeated!"

Seeing Zhang Dongchen placing the white piece again, Yu Shao immediately clicked the mouse and placed it in the same position on the chessboard on the computer.

"Next, both sides will compete in observation and calculation!"

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

The crisp sound of pieces falling continued to ring out.

As time passed, Yu Shao was immersed in the game of chess. Some of the moves and ideas of both sides in the middle game were inspiring even to him.

"but……"

"There is a slight difference in power in the middle game. Although every move of the white pieces is good, at least in this game, the black pieces seem to be better!"

…

"clatter!"

After a long time, Jiang Changdong took out the chess piece from the chess box again and gently placed it on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.

Seeing this move, Zhang Dongchen couldn't help but clench his left hand, and he couldn't continue to take out chess pieces from the chess box as before.

Now the black piece has completed the big official move with this move, and now only the small official move remains. There are very few changes on this road, and there is no chance of reversal.

“I lost.”

After a moment, Zhang Dongchen finally slowly closed his eyes and spoke.

The game is over.

The white piece has two eyes on its back.

Yu Shao withdrew his gaze from the chessboard, moved the mouse, made the last move, and when he saw the chess record on the computer, he couldn't help but let out a breath.

This game of chess was exciting even in his opinion. The two sides had been competing against each other since the layout stage. Even though the white pieces were at a disadvantage, they still fought hard and the gap between them was not widened.

The black and white pieces fought until the very end before the winner was finally decided.

"Congratulations to Mr. Jiang Changdong for winning the first game."

Seeing the chess game was over, a cameraman immediately stood up and congratulated Jiang Changdong.

"Although Mr. Zhang Dongchen lost, he played very well!" The referee next to Ma Zhengyu looked at Zhang Dongchen and said, "It was a beautiful game!"

"Teacher Jiang Changdong is still as charming as ever. Now that you have finished playing, what do you think of this game?"

Ding Huan stood up and couldn't help but look at Jiang Changdong and asked.

"Zhang Dongchen played very well. It wasn't easy for me to win. I was very entangled."

Jiang Changdong glanced at Zhang Dongchen, then slowly stood up and said with a smile, "Although young chess players have more energy, old chess players like us are more experienced. It seems that the old ones are still the best."

Hearing this, Zhang Dongchen opened his eyes, his expression changed, and he looked at Jiang Changdong.

"Youthful vigor is a good thing, especially for young people with great talent."

Jiang Changdong smiled and said, "But don't be too confident."

Hearing this, Zhang Dongchen couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed in his heart.

When he was interviewed before the game, he said that he was confident of winning the first game. But now he lost the first game and was immediately hit back by Jiang Changdong.

At this moment, Jiang Changdong suddenly looked at Yu Shao who was sitting at the music-writing table, and asked with a smile: "Yu Shao, first dan, right?"

Hearing this, Yu Shao was slightly stunned.

Not only Yu Shao, but everyone in the chat room was stunned for a moment.

Should I ask Yu Shao this question?

After everyone came to their senses, they all seemed to realize something, swallowed involuntarily, and then immediately turned their heads and cast their eyes towards Yu Shao.

They were suddenly a little uncertain at this moment. Was Jiang Changdong talking to Zhang Dongchen or Yu Shao, or...both? Yu Shao couldn't help but frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Changdong, and finally nodded and said, "You are right, but I don't think this is accurate enough."

"Not accurate enough?"

Jiang Changdong raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked with a smile, "What's not accurate enough?"

"It should be that no matter who it is..."

Yu Shao paused, then raised his head, looked at Jiang Changdong, and said, "Don't be too confident."

No matter who it is?

Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Changdong's face gradually disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes.

Does this mean... that includes me?

Originally, he thought that Yu Shao was just a gifted freak, so he was fearless like a newborn calf. But after watching today's chess game, he would be easily overwhelmed by his own momentum.

As a result, Yu Shao's answer was completely opposite to what he expected. Not only was Yu Shao not overwhelmed by his momentum, he even wanted to fight back.

Jiang Changdong squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Shao for a moment, then suddenly a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "That makes sense. Indeed, Go is complicated and unpredictable. No one can be too confident."

As he spoke, Jiang Changdong suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "I remember Yu Shao participated in the national championship competition, right? How many consecutive victories has he won in the national championship competition so far?"

"The national players have won three consecutive games." Yu Shao replied.

"Three consecutive wins..."

Jiang Changdong smiled and nodded, saying, "It's rare for a beginner chess player to maintain a winning streak after entering a professional tournament. Maybe it won't be long before you can make it to the main tournament."

Jiang Changdong paused, then continued with a smile, "It's even possible for you to make it to the challenge tournament and compete with me for the title."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Ding Huan and several cameramen looked at each other and could see the shock on each other's faces.

This sentence seems to be encouragement from the seniors to the juniors, but they have all heard the hidden meaning of this sentence, which is that you must first pass the national team qualifiers and successfully enter the main competition.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, how can it be so easy to enter the main tournament of the national champions? Not only the national champions, but all the title matches, after entering the main tournament stage, can be described by a poem:

There are so many immortals! At this moment, Zhang Dongchen slowly stood up, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said, "Teacher Jiang Changdong, the five-game chess is a best-of-five game. This is only the first game, and the outcome is far from being decided!"

…

…

In the first game of the Go Saint title match, Jiang Changdong won by two points with black and was the first to win the first set.

Even though the game has ended, there is still a lot of heated discussion about this game online, and the popularity of the Go Saint title match has even increased because of it.

The outcome of a game of chess does not mean much. In a five-game match, the winner must win three games first. Netizens are hotly discussing this five-game match and who will win or lose in the end.

Three days later, the national team qualifying round began again.

Yu Shao arrived at the chess academy early in the morning, walked into the game room, and then sat down at table number 22.

All the chess players still maintained a high level of attention on Yu Shao, but when they finally saw that it was Shi Hong, 2nd Dan, who sat opposite Yu Shao, their expressions were a little disappointed.

Shi Hong, 2nd Dan, has been performing well recently, but his chess skills are not even as good as Qiu Kaizhi, 2nd Dan. Judging from Yu Shao's current momentum, they feel that Shi Hong may not be Yu Shao's opponent.

In their opinion, with Yu Shao's current points, among the opponents he was matched with, the only one who had a chance to dampen Yu Shao's enthusiasm was Tong Lecheng, third dan.

Not long after, Zheng Qin also walked into the game room. He also had a national team qualifying match today.

Zheng Qin's arrival instantly attracted the attention of all chess players. Everyone looked at Zheng Qin and whispered to each other.

"I heard that Zheng Qin has been promoted to the third level."

"Without ever participating in a promotion tournament, it's simply shocking that he was promoted from shodan to 3rd dan in just over a year."

"He defeated Qin Haisheng 7th Dan a few days ago and has already made it to the main round of the regional competition. This is too outrageous. Will he be able to make it to the main round of the national competition?"

"This is not impossible. After all, it will take quite some time to finish the qualifiers. If he can continue to improve, it is possible."

"That's too much. When he first became a professional chess player, he lost his first professional game to Liao Shuang, a second-dan player. Now Liao Shuang is still a second-dan player, but he is a third-dan player..."

Zheng Qin glanced in Yu Shao's direction, then retracted his gaze, walked to the fifth table, pulled up a chair and sat down.

His current record in national team competitions is eight wins and one loss, and the points gap with Yu Shao is quite large, so the two should not have a chance to face off in the short term.

Zheng Qin was a little disappointed with the result, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He is no longer the same person now, so naturally he wants to play another game with Yu Shao as soon as possible, not to mention that he has been waiting for this game for a year and a half. But on the other hand, he thinks it might be better to play it a little later.

Although he defeated Qin Haisheng, 7th Dan, a week ago, it was an extremely difficult battle. He went through a lot of hardships before he finally had a flash of inspiration and found the trick to turn the tables.

But in the end, it was only a half-point win, a very narrow one.

Zheng Qin could feel that there was still a gap between him and Qin Haisheng, who was at the 7th level. What could close the gap was a sudden flash of inspiration, but brilliant moves can only be made occasionally, and he just had more occasional flashes of inspiration.

Relying purely on clever moves is not a long-term solution. Only the original moves can determine victory or defeat! Since becoming a professional chess player, he can clearly feel his progress in every game. Every time he picks up a chess piece and drops it, he seems to be able to hear the sound of blood flowing in his body.

Oddly enough, after Yu Shao became a professional chess player and participated in the national championship, knowing that he was destined to play against Yu Shao again in the near future, he found that his chess skills had improved even faster during this period.

It seems that all this is for the upcoming game between the two of them!

Therefore, since there is still some time before the game between the two, he can still continue to sprint and improve before the game with Yu Shao!

Until the final battle! Thinking of that moment, Zheng Qin's right hand was shaking slightly. He took a few deep breaths before he finally calmed down.

If he felt unwilling, confused and puzzled in the first game with Yu Shao, then in the second game with Yu Shao, he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

As a spectator in the game of Go in the city high school league, he saw that it was out of reach, felt confused, and even lost the confidence to play against Yu Shao again.

Therefore, he chose to practice and study chess in the professional arena.

Over the past year and a half, he has been honing his chess skills, so that one day, when Yu Shao appears in front of him again, he will have the confidence to fight him! Now, he is no longer the same as before, and Yu Shao has finally come!

"In the past, I had low chess skills and knew nothing."

"Now, I should be able to see through every move he makes."

"I will win the game of chess that will be played soon no matter what!"
