Chapter 203 [Extra: Carrying a rice jar to play chess] (Completely unrelated to the main text)

"Four years!"

A young man exhaled a breath of air, his face full of joy: "Finally, the first championship game has arrived!"

It has been three years since Fang Xin traveled to this world. This world... is simply beyond his imagination.

He had never dreamed that people in this world could play chess through a box called a computer across thousands of miles. He had never imagined that there was such a thing as Go AI in this box!

As a Go master in his previous life, Fang Xin thought he would be invincible when he first traveled through time. He was already eager to compete with the world's number one Go player.

However, when Fang Xin searched the Internet for information about Go in this world, he discovered that the number one Go player was... AI?

Can this broken box play chess?

Fang Xin simply sneered and immediately downloaded a free Go AI from the Internet. Then... he was beaten black and blue by the AI ​​and could not win no matter how hard he tried.

In the following year, Fang Xin spent every day online competing with the Go AI, and playing handicap games with the AI, from allowing three pieces to lose in a row, to allowing three pieces to win occasionally, and then to allowing three pieces to win for sure.

Afterwards, Fang Xin began to challenge the AI ​​and played a game of handicap two pieces, and thus began his losing streak again.

This losing streak lasted for two years! During these two years, Fang Xin also attracted the attention of countless netizens. It was rumored that there was a certain idiot who played handicap chess with AI every day and seemed to think he could win?

What kind of joke is this?!

Even if the Go AI gave two stones, no one could win. If it could win, it would be enough to sweep the world of Go! Until one day two years later...

Go AI, defeated! After two years of fighting, that idiot defeated the Go AI, even with a handicap, but... he really defeated it! Suddenly, the world was shocked! Everyone was asking who this person with the ID "Dangda Shen Yi" was, and who this Shen Yi was! Soon, the identity of this person was finally revealed by the majority of netizens. It turned out to be a 15-year-old boy named Fang Xin, and he... even taught himself Go!

Fang Xin has attracted worldwide attention, and everyone thinks that Fang Xin will definitely become a professional chess player!

This is indeed the case.

Fang Xin embarked on the path of professional Go and won the championship with first place in the qualifying tournament!

Next, he began to actively participate in major competitions and soon became famous in the professional chess world. Since entering the professional world, he has rarely lost, and then he swept into the world championship!

And now, he has reached the finals of this world championship!

What awaits him is the final of the three-game match! His opponent in the final is a chess player named Cui He.

If he wins, he will make history by becoming world champion at the age of sixteen!

"It's tomorrow!"

Fang Xin took a deep breath, feeling vaguely expectant.

…

…

the next day.

The world championship finals kicked off under the attention of the public.

Early that morning, Fang Xin arrived at the competition venue and saw his opponent today, Cui He.

Cui He is a young man in his twenties, who looks a little feminine and thin, and wears a pair of round-framed glasses.

After seeing Fang Xin, Cui He pushed his glasses, frowned, and clenched his teeth, feeling extremely fearful.

He really couldn't believe that there was a Go genius like Fang Xin in the world. It was pure luck that he made it to the finals this time, and he had no chance of winning against Fang Xin at all.

Soon after, two referees arrived.

"Although you are very strong..."

Seeing the two referees, Choi Hyuk thought silently: "But... I am not without hope of winning."

The competition officially began.

After the coin toss, Fang Xin played black and Cui He played white in the first game.

The chess game begins! The eyes of the whole world are focused on this at this moment!

"For the first move, let's play small."

Fang Xin thought for a moment, reached into the chess box, and quickly made his first move.

Da! Seventeen columns and four rows, small eyes!

Even after experiencing the training of AI, Fang Xin still prefers the small mistakes he made all his life. After all, in his world, there is no such thing as handicap, and the first few moves in the Go layout can only be made at small points.

Cui He frowned and quickly placed the chess piece.

Ta, da, da!

Amid heated discussions among chess fans around the world, both sides began to place their chess pieces one after another.

Both sides started the game by playing the wrong small eye against two consecutive stars, followed by the black piece's big flying piece to guard the corner, and the white piece's small flying piece to hang, and then it was Fang Xin's turn to play chess.

Click!

The sound of chess pieces colliding could be heard.

Fang Xin looked at the chessboard with some emotion in his eyes. He took out the chess piece from the chess box and slowly put it down.

Da! Fifteen columns and sixteen rows, sharp!

After seeing this move, there was a lot of heated discussion online.

"Shusaku Jian! This is Fang Xin's favorite move! Compared to Dot Three Three, for some reason, Fang Xin prefers the old-fashioned move like Shusaku Jian!"

"Shusaku-tsuke was once eliminated, but after the advent of AI, it has given this style of play a whole new lease of life!"

"I don't know if Fang Xin can win, but if he does, it will make history!"

There has been a lot of heated discussion online, and people are following the changes in the winning rates of both sides through Go AI.

As more and more chess pieces fell, netizens from all over the world couldn't help but exclaimed! "WTF!"

"The match between Fang Xin's choices and the AI ​​is so high that they are almost the same every time!"

"He has an AI in his head?"

"Choi Hyuk's win rate drops a little each time, but it drops every time!"

"It's a sure thing! This game is a sure thing!"

…

…

Snap! Fang Xin picked up the chess piece again and dropped it.

Fourteen columns and five lines, hit! "Damn it!"

Cui He looked at the chessboard in front of him with a grim expression and cursed in his heart. At this point, he already knew that his situation was very bad.

I'm afraid we're going to lose.

"but……"

Cui He raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xin, who was looking at the chessboard and thinking intently, and gritted his teeth.

"The key to victory or defeat is not necessarily inside the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard!"

Cui He gritted his teeth and dropped the chess piece.

Seeing this move, Fang Xin thought about it, and immediately picked up the chess piece, put it down gently, then picked up the white piece from the chessboard and placed it next to the chess table.

Seeing this scene, Cui He immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Referee!"

Fang Xin didn't understand what Cui He was saying. He was stunned and looked at Cui He in confusion.

Soon, two referees came to Choi Hyuk and said a lot of things.

The translator came to Fang Xin and translated the referee's words to him.

"Because I didn't put the chess piece in the lid of the chess box, I got two penalty points?!"

Fang Xin was confused!

He has lived two lives and played Go twice, but he has never heard of such an outrageous rule! I play Go, and you have to control where I put the pieces?! Is this still Go?

The translator whispered, "New rules from three weeks ago."

Fang Xin took a deep breath and forced himself to hold it in.

The game continues.

Even though Fang Xin was penalized with two points, Cui He's expression was still not relaxed. He was at such a disadvantage in this game that he would most likely lose in the end.

Cui He no longer had any intention of playing chess and just stared at Fang Xin.

Soon, Fang Xin picked up the white piece from the chessboard again. Because he was too focused on the game, he subconsciously placed the piece on the table to his right.

Just one second later, Fang Xin suddenly realized something and immediately placed the chess piece on the lid of the chess box.

But Cui He caught it in just this short second and raised his hand again!

"referee!"

The two referees came over again and started talking a lot.

The translator whispered to Fang Xin, "You broke the rules again. According to the rules, you lose!"

“Lose…Lose?!”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Fang Xin has always had a good personality, but at this moment he could no longer endure it and asked angrily, "I just didn't put the chess piece on the lid of the chess box, why did you judge me as the loser?! And the second time I only put it on for a second!"

"I don't accept it!"

"I've lost in chess all my life. It's not that I can't afford to lose, but I can't lose like this!"

Fang Xin asked angrily: "Why?!"

"Rules are rules, they are not set on the first day!"

The coach refuted with a sullen face: "Look at player Choi Hyuk, he followed the rules. I asked you to read the rule book before the game, why didn't you follow it!"

Seeing his coach say this, Fang Xin was speechless.

At this time, seeing the first game ended with this result, the Internet was in an uproar!

But no matter what, Fang Xin accepted the penalty and had to watch the second game.

the next day.

The second game begins.

In this game of chess, Fang Xin always remembered to place the chess pieces on the lid of the chess box, so he was too distracted, causing the situation on the chessboard to fall into a tense state for a while.

The two sides fought until the middle stage and the game was still difficult to determine.

However, what Fang Xin did not notice was that when he picked up the chess piece once in the middle game, due to the habit he had developed in two lifetimes, he still failed to put the chess piece back into the lid of the chess box.

Even Cui He didn't notice this.

Although the two referees noticed this keenly, they remained surprisingly silent this time.

Not long after, facing Fang Xin's powerful move, Cui He fell into deep thought and was undecided for a long time.

At this time, the two referees looked at each other, walked towards the chess table, paused the game, and closed the game.

"What?!"

Fang Xin was furious and asked, "Even if I failed to put it into the chess box lid, that was thirty moves ago! Why did you say that when he was thinking for a long time?!"

Fang Xin turned his head and looked at his coach, but the coach just remained silent.

A feeling of powerlessness swept over my whole body.

Fang Xin took a deep breath. Even though he had played so many games with AI, he had never felt such a strong sense of powerlessness.

Netizens all over the world who were following this game of chess were extremely angry at this moment.

However, there was nothing that could be done! After the two penalty points, the game started again.

Fang Xin gritted his teeth, picked up the chess piece from the chess box, and dropped it heavily!

There was already murderous intent in his eyes! In the second half of this game, Fang Xin played amazingly and never put the grapes outside the lid of the chess box again.

The two referees' faces turned pale for a moment, but they could only watch Cui He gradually fall into a disadvantage!

Finally, Cui He gritted his teeth, stared at the chessboard, and said unwillingly, "I lost!"

…

…

Day 3! The third game of chess begins.

Today, Fang Xin's appearance completely shocked everyone, and the entire Internet was stunned for a moment! Fang Xin actually brought a huge rice jar to the arena!

"Contestant Fang Xin, what are you doing?" a referee said in shock and anger.

"This is my chess box. I'm worried that the lid won't hold all the chess pieces. The pieces won't fit in the lid and will fall out!"

Fang Xin sat down on the chair and said, "There's no rule that forbids changing the chess box, right?"

The two referees were speechless for a moment.

Indeed, the rules do not forbid it.

But if Fang Xin really carries a rice jar to play chess, they will become a complete laughing stock!

"no!"

A referee took a deep breath and said firmly: "You can't use a rice jar as a chess box!"

"Are there any rules?!"

Fang Xin asked again: "Why not?!"

In the end, under Fang Xin's strong insistence, the game had to begin.

Seeing Fang Xin playing chess while placing the chess piece on the lid of the rice jar, the whole network couldn't hold it anymore, and barrages of comments kept flying across the major live broadcast rooms!

The two referees' faces turned pale and blue as they stared at Fang Xin. They could already guess what was being said on the Internet at this moment!

The lid of the rice jar was too big. Even if Fang Xin wanted to put the grapes anywhere, it would be impossible for them to be placed outside the lid!

At this time, the only thing that can be said is the chess! The whole network is paying attention to this game of chess. The popularity is beyond imagination. There has never been such a precedent of using a rice jar as a chess box. All the people are crazy and can only sigh that Fang Xin can do it! But more importantly, in this game of chess, Fang Xin's performance is simply unexpected. Cui He was almost suppressed by Fang Xin throughout the whole process!

Fang Xin placed his chess piece again!

Da! Eight columns and fifteen rows, clamp! Dragon slayed! However, even so, Cui He did not resign, and clamped out the chess piece again and placed it on the chessboard.

Seeing this, Fang Xin showed no surprise at all, and also took out the chess piece and dropped it.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

Finally, the game continued until the end, when there was no more room for maneuvers. Cui He gritted his teeth and still did not resign.

Cui He sat quietly for a long time, and time passed by minute by minute. Fang Xin sat opposite him, also waiting without saying a word.

Finally, when the time was up, Cui He finally said unwillingly, "I lost."

As the game ended, the entire Internet went wild! After the game, Fang Xin won the world championship as he wished, but after he left the arena, there was no smile on his face, only a deep sense of exhaustion.

He didn't think Cui He was hateful, he just felt pity for him.

Even though Cui He is stronger than all the chess players in his previous life, even Shen Yi, Cui He... will never feel the beauty of playing Go.

"The level of Go in this world is very high. It is said that if one hears the truth in the morning, one can die in the evening... But it seems that this is not the case."

Fang Xin sighed, looked at the sky, and said with a confused expression: "In the past, this kind of thing never happened. I once played against a Go player, and he also had a pure heart for Go."

"I would rather play chess in my previous life..."

"If the chess players in the previous life played chess in order to pursue a higher level of chess skills..."

"Why do chess players in this world play chess?"
