Chapter 196 Yu Shao 1st Dan, Yes, Zheng Qin 3rd Dan
Three days later, the national team qualifiers started again.
On this day, Yu Shao came to the chess academy. As soon as he walked into the game room, he heard many familiar chess players gathered together, discussing the Go Saint title tournament that had just ended not long ago.
When they saw Yu Shao coming, the discussions stopped abruptly and everyone looked at Yu Shao with different eyes.
Everyone originally thought that Yu Shao had finally met a strong enemy and would be defeated by Tong Lecheng, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations -
Tong Lecheng lost!
Yu Shao stepped on Tong Lecheng's corpse and continued to advance triumphantly! Everyone had to admit that they had misjudged Yu Shao. Even though Yu Shao was only a beginner chess player, he was already enough to attract everyone's attention! Yu Shao looked at table number five. At this time, a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old had already sat down on the side of table number five. He was looking at Yu Shao solemnly, not daring to despise him at all.
Yu Xiuwen is the fourth dan, right, Yu Shao is the first dan!
Under the various gazes of the crowd, Yu Shao quickly came to the opposite side of Yu Xiuwen, then pulled out a chair and sat down.
At this moment, several chess players in the back row looked at each other, then stood up and walked towards table five, and soon came to both sides of the chess table.
A group of chess players surrounded chess table number five, and then waited silently for the game to begin without saying a word.
None of them had any competitions, and came today specifically to watch Yu Shao's chess game. Yu Shao performed well before, but since Yu Shao beat Tong Lecheng, they had to start paying attention to Yu Shao.
Therefore, more chess players are paying attention to today's game than the previous game between Yu Shao and Tong Lecheng.
"Liu Qirui 5th dan, Shi Yu 5th dan, Shao Hu 4th dan..."
Looking at the familiar faces in the crowd, a young man with acne on his face not far away couldn't help but take a breath and was secretly shocked: "They didn't participate in the national team competition, right?"
Among these chess players, many did not even sign up for the national chess player competition. For example, Liu Qirui, 6th dan, only signed up for the grand chess player competition. There was no possibility for him to meet Yu Shao in a short period of time, but he actually came?
"The last person to receive this kind of treatment... seemed to be Zheng Qin."
The acne-faced boy had just come up with this thought when he saw Zheng Qin at the door of the game room.
Today, Zheng Qin also has a match against the national team.
Zheng Qin glanced at table number five which was surrounded by a group of chess players. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and walked straight to table number fifteen where he was today.
On one side of table 15, there sat a man in his thirties, wearing square-framed glasses and with a resolute face. When he saw Zheng Qin sitting down opposite him, his expression was not relaxed, and one could even say it was... a little ugly.
Even though he has been a professional chess player for ten years and is now a professional fifth dan, he can be said to be a seasoned player. However, Zheng Qin has been a professional chess player for less than two years, has just turned twenty, and has just reached the third dan.
Not long after, the two referees finally arrived at the game room.
Seeing Table Number 5 surrounded by a group of professional chess players, they looked somewhat helpless, but didn't say anything.
After all, these spectators are all professional chess players. They are very familiar with the rules of the competition and will not disturb other players when watching the game.
After waiting for a while and seeing that the time was almost up, a referee announced the start of the game, and the sounds of grabbing pieces and saluting were immediately heard in the chess room.
Soon, the quiet and solemn chess room became extremely silent, with only the sound of chess pieces dropping echoing continuously.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
Time passed by minute by minute with the crisp sound of chess pieces falling.
After a long time, on the side of table number 15, Zheng Qin slowly stood up and walked towards the referee.
At table number 19, a young man with acne all over his face was looking at the chess board in deep thought. When he caught a glimpse of Zheng Qin's figure out of the corner of his eye, he was slightly stunned and quickly looked towards table number 15.
At this time, on the other side of table No. 15, Yu Liwuduan closed his eyes. Although his face showed no emotion, the back of his shirt... was already soaked with sweat.
"Zheng Qin won again..."
Seeing this scene, the young man was filled with admiration for a moment, and was not surprised at the ending at all.
After all, although Zheng Qin was only a 3rd dan, he had defeated Qin Haisheng, a 7th dan, and successfully entered the main competition of the competition area! However, to his surprise, Zheng Qin walked to the referee's seat, reported his results, and then left the game room without looking back.
"He...won't he go and see Yu Shao's chess game?"
Looking at Zheng Qin's departing back, the acne-covered boy was stunned.
Yu Shao had defeated Tong Lecheng before, and today Yu Shao was also playing against Yu Xiuwen, 4th Dan. The game between the two had not yet ended, but Zheng Qin... was not paying any attention to this game?
Why? Do you think Yu Shao is not worthy of attention?
Not only him, but other chess players were also surprised to see Zheng Qin leave directly.
You know, before Zheng Qin, several chess games had already ended. As soon as their games were over, they all went to watch Yu Shao's game without exception.
Although Zheng Qin is indeed very strong, isn't he curious at all about Yu Shao and the outcome of this game?
A while later.
"I lost..."
At table number five, Yu Xiuwen lowered his head sadly and spoke.
There was silence all around, and everyone around was feeling uneasy.
Frankly speaking, Yu Xiuwen played very well in this game, and Yu Shao just adopted a very simple tactic of first catching and then washing, and decided the outcome in the battle to eliminate the isolated pieces in the middle game.
Faced with Yu Shao's fierce attack, Yu Xiuwen could only work hard and was eventually defeated.
"Yu Xiuwen is no match for him."
Many people in the crowd felt a little depressed. Their points were currently very close to Yu Shao's, and they might be Yu Shao's opponent in the next game.
However, after watching Yu Shao's game, to be honest, they felt that they might not necessarily win if they played against Yu Shao.
Tremendous pressure has come.
And this is just from a beginner chess player.
After the two of them saluted and put away the chess pieces, Yu Shao slowly stood up. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked through the crowd, walked to the referee's seat, reported his results to the referee, and then left the game room.
Inside the game room, the chess players who were playing the game saw Yu Shao leaving and looked towards the five tables. When they noticed the extremely solemn expressions of the onlookers, they couldn't help but feel awe-struck.
The outcome is self-evident!
Yu Shao, wins again!
Although Yu Xiuwen's chess skills are not as good as Tong Lecheng, he has defeated Tong Lecheng before and is also very strong, but... he still lost to Yu Shao.
Including the Yingjiao Cup, Yu Shao has won nine consecutive games.
The requirement for promotion from first dan to second dan is to play at least twenty games and obtain 1,500 points.
There are still eleven games to go. As long as Yu Shao can win four or five of them, he can be promoted to the second dan after twenty games! "Tong Lecheng's points dropped, which is an exception. Since he beat Tong Lecheng, it is possible that he can win two or three games in a row with this points!"
"But if we win again..."
Many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva: "He will definitely continue to encounter chess players with a chess strength of 5th dan or above!"
…….…..Five days later, another round of Yingjiao Cup qualifiers.
“I lost.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At table 22, the short-haired girl sitting opposite Yu Shao sighed dejectedly, lowered her head, and spoke.
"Thank you for your advice." Yu Shao bowed his head.
"Thanks for your advice."
The short-haired girl sitting opposite Yu Shao also bowed her head in return.
Everyone around looked at the chess game with frowns on their faces.
In this game, after Yu Shao played black point 3-3, the white pieces took very good care of the upper left corner, spared no expense, and the black pieces were unable to shake the white pieces' strong position.
However, because the black pieces were paying too much attention to the upper left corner, they made amazing progress in the middle. After forming a large shape, the white pieces tried to break into the black pieces' formation and forcefully eliminate the isolated pieces.
But faced with the encirclement of the black pieces, the white piece ultimately failed to survive and failed to deal with the isolated piece, so it had to surrender.
Yu Shao quickly packed up the chess pieces, then stood up and walked towards the referee's seat. After reporting the results, he turned and left.
"Although Lu Wenwen is a girl, she is also very strong. In the end, she was completely unable to fight back during the fight."
"Su Yiming even beat Dou Yiming, 6th Dan, but ended up losing to him in the Dan Qualifying Tournament..."
"He has won ten games in a row... Why does it feel like after hitting 33, the opponent who is hit by 33 is not as easy to deal with as expected? Is it because there is a clear gap between Lu Wenwen and him in chess skills?"
Looking at Yu Shao's departing back, everyone had different thoughts.
…
…
The next day, there was another Yingjiao Cup qualifying match.
The boy sitting opposite Su Yiming gritted his teeth, and finally took out two chess pieces from the chess box with a gloomy face, placed them on the chessboard, and admitted defeat.
After the two of them greeted each other and put away their chess pieces, Su Yiming slowly stood up, walked to the referee's seat, reported his own results, and then turned and left.
The people watching the game were not surprised that Su Yiming won the game. After all, Su Yiming's opponent today was only a third-dan player, and Su Yiming had even defeated Dou Yiming before.
But even so, everyone felt extremely complicated as they looked at Su Yiming's departing back.
Originally, no one would care about the two beginner chess players at the Yingjiao Cup, but now Yu Shao and Su Yiming have to attract everyone's attention.
"Su Yiming has won eleven games in a row, and Yu Shao has won ten games in a row. After becoming professional chess players, both of them have never lost a game so far!"
"How far can the two of them go?"
"Who will they lose to? Or will they meet in the Yingjiao Cup in a few days and lose to each other?"
In the game room, several young chess players who were playing the game couldn't help but frown as they looked at Su Yiming's back.
Su Yiming's unexpected victory over Dou Yiming was indeed beyond their expectations.
Since Su Yiming can defeat Dou Yiming, he may pose a threat to them, but the problem is that there is also Yu Shao.
…
…
Half a month passed in a flash.
In the past half month, Yu Shao has been quite relaxed. There have been only two games in this half month, one national team qualifier and one Yingjiao Cup qualifier.
Because in this points race, when you win more games, you will have fewer opponents, so the intervals between matches will be a little longer, waiting for the new players to accumulate points before being matched with opponents.
Of course, because the registration period for the Yingjiao Cup is about to end and there is an age limit for participation, the Yingjiao Cup events will become very frequent in a week, and the players who enter the tournament will be quickly determined.
In the two games played in the past half month, Yu Shao's opponents were Yin Wanman, 4th dan, and Feng Shengquan, 5th dan, and he won both games. Now Yu Shao has won twelve games in a row, and his promotion points are almost up to 2 dan.
Although Feng Shengquan is a 5th dan, Yu Shao feels that he is weaker than Tong Lecheng.
That night, Yu Shao finally received the match schedule from the chess academy again, which listed the table number of his next national player match and the opponent he would face.
"Three days later, the next national team qualifiers, table number ten, Yu Shao, first dan, against—"
Yu Shao looked at the name on the computer screen with a puzzled look.
"Zheng Qin, third stage."
Seeing the familiar name Zheng Qin, Yu Shao couldn't help but recall the two chess games he played with Zheng Qin at the Shanhai Chess Hall.
And their third game of chess will be in three days! …………
