Chapter 187 Attention

Seeing this scene, Xu Zijin was slightly stunned.

Then, under her gaze, Wu Zhixuan pulled the unsuspecting Yu Shao and quickly left the game room, disappearing at the door of the game room.

Xu Zijin silently watched the two people's departing backs, and after a long time, he finally looked away.

Yu Shao was pulled by Wu Zhixuan all the way out of the game room. After walking a long way, Wu Zhixuan finally stopped.

She released her grip on Yu Shao's wrist, turned her head, and stared at Yu Shao, her eyes still a little red.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Shao was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why did you pull me out here?"

"You were the first to make the move 3-3, so you must know the best way to respond to it!"

Wu Zhixuan looked at Yu Shao, feeling more and more aggrieved the more she spoke, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears. Finally, she sniffed and said unreasonably: "I don't want to lose to her again, you have to tell me how to respond!"

Her face was full of grievance and unwillingness. Obviously, losing to Xu Zijin, who had just become a beginner chess player, was a huge blow to her.

Hearing this, Yu Shao finally understood why Wu Zhixuan pulled him out. He was speechless and asked, "Do you think there was something wrong with your response?"

“I, I…”

Wu Zhixuan was stunned, blinked her eyes, and said a little stutteringly: "Actually, I don't think so. After she counted 33, it should have been my turn, but I didn't move well afterwards..."

Hearing this, Yu Shao felt a little overwhelmed.

What Wu Zhixuan said was indeed correct, she did not make a good move later on, but the problem was that the subsequent changes to point 33 were not well responded to either. These two problems combined made the problem very difficult to explain.

"Actually, I think that after being hit by the three-three point attack, I blocked the opponent's long move, and then the opponent blocked it. The next move should not be long but other methods should be used, such as continuous blocking." Yu Shao thought for a while and said.

"Continuous lever?"

Wu Zhixuan's eyes widened suddenly, with a puzzled look on her face: "Why?"

"Because I think the side with point 33 will have the advantage after the growth."

Yu Shao pondered and said, "After choosing the long position, the party that is called on three threes will have some use, so the party that gets the corner first will benefit."

"How is that possible!"

Wu Zhixuan was a little unconvinced and retorted: "Although it was borrowed, the side that clicked 33 suffered a serious loss of points. If it wasn't for my poor play in the latter part of this game, I should have had an easier time, right?"

"You'll know after you play a few more games."

Yu Shao shook his head and said, "After growing and changing, some parts only have potential, but it's not as easy to deal with as you think. It's precisely because of the borrowing that it will be troublesome to deal with the parts, and it will be easier to make mistakes later."

Hearing this, Wu Zhixuan frowned slightly and fell into thought.

In the previous game, after being hit at 3-3, she was indeed somewhat restrained by the opponent. She originally thought that she was in a better position to play, but the fact was that she was a little passive.

Although she still didn't quite agree with this statement in her heart, just like what Yu Shao said, this problem can only be judged by herself through a lot of actual combat.

"You can try more three-three."

Yu Shao thought for a moment and said, "After playing many times, if the opponent chooses to play long, even if he loses in the end, he will not feel that he is in a better position to play, but at least he will feel that both sides can fight."

Yu Shao suddenly felt that it was a bit too quick to tell Wu Zhixuan that she was losing money in the long run, but after a long time, both sides could be evenly matched, and he should be able to judge after playing a few dozen games.

"good."

Wu Zhixuan nodded, and suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Yu Shao and said, "When you have time in the future, please teach me a few games, such as playing online chess."

"If I have time, it's no problem to play a couple of games online occasionally."

Yu Shao was a little puzzled and asked, "But, don't you have a master or something?"

"Yes, I have."

Wu Zhixuan rolled her eyes and said, "But my master is only a professional sixth dan and will be seventy soon. He has been retired and has been teaching chess for a long time. If he really plays chess, he may not be able to beat my brother."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Yu Shao was a little surprised and asked, "Your master is only at the sixth level?"

“That’s normal.”

Wu Zhixuan looked at Yu Shao in surprise and said, "After all, it's enough to get a promotion. Some chess players are great at playing chess, but they can't teach others how to play chess. My master is very good at teaching."

Hearing this, Yu Shao suddenly understood.

That's true. A young man who is trying to become a professional chess player just needs to successfully get promoted. If he wants to teach amateur players, a professional sixth dan is more than enough.

There may be some professional 9th ​​dan players who are stronger in chess, but when it comes to teaching chess, they are not as good as the 6th or 7th dan players.

However, the few young men who were trying to become a dan that Yu Shao knew, such as Jiang Xiahua and Bai Jingchuan, all came from dojos opened by current professional 9th-dan masters.

That's why Yu Shao had mistakenly believed that all dojos were run by ninth-dan chess players.

If you think about it carefully, the current 9th dan players are so busy, how can there be so many of them opening dojos? It is more reasonable for retired 6th to 9th dan players to open dojos.

"But what about your Xinhuo War?"

Yu Shao thought for a moment and asked, "Just like amateur chess players, will the chess academy arrange for 9th-dan chess players?"

"right."

Wu Zhixuan nodded and said, "However, some dojos already have ninth-level brothers and sisters. In that case, the brothers and sisters will lead the younger brothers and sisters to participate in the Xinhuo Battle."

Yu Shao nodded thoughtfully.

"I'm going to play two games with my brother when I get home today."

Wu Zhixuan clenched her fists angrily, made up her mind, and said, "Next time I meet her, I must win!"

Yu Shao looked at Wu Zhixuan and suddenly felt that it might be a good thing that Wu Zhixuan lost the game to Xu Zijin.

Because Wu Zhixuan doesn't care much about losing to male chess players, and those female chess players who can beat Wu Zhixuan are almost all Wu Zhixuan's predecessors, so Wu Zhixuan actually has no opponent and no goal.

But now, Xu Zijin appeared.

Although Wu Zhixuan could accept losing to a male chess player, she could not accept losing to a female chess player, especially since Xu Zijin had just successfully qualified as a professional chess player this year and had beaten her.

Xu Zijin has a very strong self-esteem, so he never takes the initiative to ask his peers any questions. He just thinks about things silently by himself, but Wu Zhixuan obviously doesn't have this worry.

…

…

Five days after the second qualifying match of the Yingjiao Cup ended, the third game of the Gosei War finally ended. Zhang Dongchen won the game in the middle game with black, leaving the suspense to the fourth game.

It remains unknown who will win the title of Go Saint this year.

On the day after the Gosei War ended, the national team qualifiers finally began again.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Early that morning, in the game room where the national championship qualifiers were held, many chess players were gathered together, discussing the Gosei game that had just ended yesterday.

"Teacher Zhang Dongchen withstood the pressure. He won the game yesterday beautifully, with many brilliant moves. That hanging move was absolutely wonderful. It made my blood boil!"

"But there are still two games to go, and Mr. Zhang Dongchen is still under a lot of pressure. After all, he cannot lose a single game, and he is facing a veteran like Mr. Jiang Changdong."

"After losing two games in a row and winning one, we have a chance to catch up. The pressure in the fourth game will be even greater than the third game."

Just as the chess players were discussing, Yu Shao appeared at the door of the game room.

When they saw Yu Shao, the discussions of the chess players suddenly stopped and they all looked towards Yu Shao at the door.

At present, Yu Shao has won four consecutive games in the national team competition. This score is already not low. Even if Yu Shao signed up for the national team competition midway, he is destined to encounter strong opponents in the future.

Therefore, they are all paying close attention to Yu Shao, and want to know how far Yu Shao, who just successfully became a professional player this year, can go.

And they already knew Yu Shao’s opponent today in advance.

Because they already knew who Yu Shao's opponent would be today, even several chess players who were not originally going to play a game today came to the game room, waiting for the game later.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Shao came to the sixth table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Not long after, as the game time approached, a group of professional chess players came into the game room one after another. When they saw Yu Shao sitting at one side of the six tables, their expressions changed.

It can be said that everyone is paying close attention to Yu Shao's game today.

After a while, a young man wearing glasses and with a middle-parted hair walked into the game room, then cast his eyes towards the sixth table. When he saw Yu Shao who was already seated at the sixth table, his expression became more serious.

He took a deep breath, walked towards the sixth table, walked across from Yu Shao, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Good morning, Yu Shao, first dan."

The young man looked at Yu Shao opposite him and spoke.

Hearing this, Yu Shao also raised his head, looked at his opponent today, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Good morning, Tong Lecheng is a third-level player."

Yu Shao is the first dan, yes, Tong Le is the third dan!

Although Tong Lecheng is only a third dan, his chess skills are far more than that.

The reason why he was able to face Yu Shao today was simply because he had won too many consecutive games in the early stages, which led to him being matched with high-level chess players all the way. After a hard battle, he was defeated and his points dropped.

Even though Yu Shao had been winning in a row before, it was hard to tell how good his level was. After all, except for Wu Shuheng, the levels of the others were not high, so their game was not worthy of attention at all.

But today is different.

Several chess players who had no competition today but came to the game room saw that Tong Lecheng and Yu Shao had already taken their seats. They looked at each other, then stood up in unison and walked towards table number six.

Soon, they stood at table number six, waiting for the game to begin.

"They didn't have any competitions originally, but they came to the chess academy specifically to watch a beginner chess player play..."

A boy with acne all over his face saw this scene with mixed feelings, thinking silently: "This is really outrageous."

Just then, a fat young man in his twenties suddenly walked into the game room.

Seeing the fat man, the boy with acne on his face was slightly stunned, and then immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Sheng Ziyan, seventh stage?"

"He didn't play in the national team match today!"

Sheng Ziyan glanced around the game room and quickly noticed table number six surrounded by a crowd. He then walked straight to the sixth table and stood among the crowd.

"Even Sheng Ziyan, seventh stage, is paying attention to him?"

The boy with acne all over his face swallowed his saliva, somewhat incredulous.

"Shouldn't Zheng Qin be the only low-rank chess player worthy of his attention?"

That’s seven sections!

Not only him, but everyone else in the game room also had a look of surprise on their faces after seeing Sheng Ziyan, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Forget about others, but him, a professional 7th dan, came all the way to watch the game of a professional 1st dan?
