Chapter 276 She is a chess player

Early in the morning of that day, Yu Shao got up, had breakfast, and left home with Yu Dongming. Yu Dongming drove Yu Shao to Jiangling TV Station.

After Yu Shao got out of the car, Yu Dongming opened the car window, looked at Yu Shao, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, worthy of being my son, he is really handsome!"

"Dad, I'll go in first."

Yu Shao smiled and said, "The chess competition will begin soon."

Yu Dongming nodded and said with some anticipation: "Go ahead, I'll be able to see you on TV later."

Just then, a black Bentley drove up and stopped in front of the TV station building. Then the car door opened and Xu Zijin got out of the car.

Xu Zijin was dressed simply today, in a loose white sweatshirt without any patterns, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers, looking particularly elegant.

"Good morning."

Seeing Xu Zijin, Yu Shao greeted him with a smile.

"morning."

Xu Zijin also nodded slightly to Yu Shao, and after replying, he looked at Yu Dongming who was sitting in the car, and then looked at Yu Shao with some confusion in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Shao quickly introduced: "This is my dad."

Hearing this, Xu Zijin was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Dongming again, and greeted him: "Good morning, uncle."

"morning."

Seeing such an incredibly beautiful girl, Yu Dongming was a little surprised. After replying, he turned his head to look at Yu Shao and asked tentatively: "Xiao Shao, what is this?"

"Xu Zijin is my former classmate, but we were in a different class. He is now also a professional chess player. He will be explaining the chess game with me today." Yu Shao also introduced him to Yu Dongming.

"oh oh."

Yu Dongming did not doubt him and said, "Then you guys should go in quickly. Isn't the chess game going to start soon?"

"Then let's go in. Dad, you drive back and be careful." Yu Shao nodded.

Xu Zijin also politely said goodbye to Yu Dongming: "Goodbye, uncle."

"Okay, bye."

Yu Dongming felt that this girl named Xu Zijin was not only beautiful but also very polite. His favorable impression of her increased and he nodded with a smile.

Soon, after watching Yu Shao and Xu Zijin walk into the TV station, Yu Dongming finally turned the steering wheel and drove away.

After Yu Shao walked into the TV station, he finally remembered that Xu Zijin had been promoted to the second dan. He smiled and said, "I almost forgot. Congratulations on your promotion to the second dan. It's very fast."

"Don't you think your congratulations come off as a mockery?"

Hearing this, Xu Zijin couldn't help but glance at Yu Shao and asked.

"Mockery? How could that be?"

Yu Shao looked puzzled and said, "I am only at the second level."

"The rank doesn't completely represent your chess ability. No matter who you are, you have to fight your way up one game at a time. If you've won ten games in a row, no one will really regard you as a second-rank dan."

Xu Zijin thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I haven't played against you on the court yet, right? I hope I can play a game with you on the court in the future."

Yu Shao was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

He had played chess with Xu Zijin many times, but never in a competitive match. Even Su Yiming had played a game with Xu Zijin in a competition.

Although the high school Go league is small, it is still a competition. As long as it is a competition, the atmosphere and mentality will definitely be different from usual.

"Who do you think will win today's game of chess?" Xu Zijin asked again at this time.

"I don't know, but I definitely hope that Kong Zi will win."

Yu Shao shook his head and said.

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the TV station lobby. A staff member saw them and immediately came over and took them to the studio.

Soon after, Yu Shao and Xu Zijin followed the staff to the studio.

There is a big stage in the center of the studio with a big chessboard on it. There are cameras everywhere around the stage, and the director and other staff are making intensive preparations.

“This is your first time explaining it.”

The staff member who led the way smiled and said, "It's inevitable to be nervous when you're explaining in front of a national audience for the first time. But it doesn't matter. Simply explain the purpose of each move. When the players are thinking for a long time, they can chat freely."

"In fact, Xu Zijin, the second stage, just needs to stand there."

A photographer at the side said with a smile: "Even if no one says a word, the audience will probably be able to watch with great interest. The chess or something is not important, as Yu Shao, 2nd Dan, will explain it."

"Indeed, after today's commentary, I don't know how many people will want to become professional chess players!"

Hearing this, another cameraman couldn't help but laugh and said, "As long as Xu Zijin stands there, the audience should be satisfied and won't ask for too much."

"Although there are indeed many good-looking female chess players, it is rare to find one as beautiful as Xu Zijin, 2nd Dan." At this time, someone else laughed.

Inside the studio, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing these words, Xu Zijin lowered his eyes, his expression calm, and stood still.

"It's better to avoid such jokes as much as possible."

At this moment, Yu Shao's voice suddenly rang out.

After hearing Yu Shao's words, the whole place suddenly became quiet.

Xu Zijin was slightly stunned and looked at Yu Shao beside him.

Inside the studio, other people also turned their heads in confusion and looked at Yu Shao.

"She can come here to explain today because she is a chess player."

Yu Shao frowned slightly, looked at the cameraman and director in the studio, and said, "It has nothing to do with anything else."

After hearing what Yu Shao said, the entire studio suddenly became quiet, and the people who had just spoken all blushed for a moment.

Xu Zijin stared at Yu Shao in a daze, opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.

The whole place suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, the director laughed awkwardly twice, smoothed things over, and said, "Haha, that's right, what are you talking about? Xu Zijin, 2nd Dan, is a professional chess player."

After that, the director looked at Yu Shao and Xu Zijin again and said with a smile: "The chess competition is about to begin. Yu Shao, 2nd dan, Xu Zijin, 2nd dan, you two come on stage."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Yu Shao was about to walk towards the stage. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that Xu Zijin hadn't caught up with him. He turned his head to look at Xu Zijin and asked in confusion, "Xu Zijin?"

"nothing."

At this time, Xu Zijin finally came to his senses, glanced at Yu Shao, shook his head gently, and then finally followed Yu Shao and walked towards the stage.

Looking at Yu Shao and Xu Zijin, the cameramen and TV station staff in the audience felt a little uneasy for a moment.

After a while, the image of a chessboard finally appeared on the big screen in front of the studio.

After seeing this scene, everyone finally calmed down and temporarily put aside everything that had just happened.

"The chess game is about to begin."

The director in the audience reminded, "Yu Shao, second dan, Xu Zijin, second dan, when the screen cuts over, I'll make a hand gesture for you, and then you can introduce yourselves to the national audience."

Hearing this, Yu Shao nodded, and Xu Zijin on the side pursed his lips but also nodded slightly.

After another minute, the director made an OK gesture to the two people on the stage.

Seeing this, Yu Shao turned to the camera and said, "Hello, audience friends. I am Yu Shao, 2nd dan. Today, Xu Zijin, 2nd dan, and I will be giving you the commentary on the fifth match of the chess competition."

Xu Zijin also looked towards the camera, looking a little nervous, but quickly adjusted himself and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Xu Zijin, 2nd Dan."

After introducing himself, Yu Shao looked at the big screen and said, "This game is played by Master Kong Zi, who plays black against Master Ma Dong."

"Both of them are top-notch winners, so it will surely be another exciting match."

After Yu Shao said a few words, he saw Kong Zi make his first move on the big screen, and then he said, "The game has begun. Master Kong Zi makes his first move."

After saying that, Yu Shao took out the chess piece first and hung it on the big board.

Kong Zi and Ma Dong both played very quickly, and soon both sides finished the first four moves. In the first two moves, both the black and white sides placed pieces in the star position, forming two consecutive stars against two consecutive stars.

Yu Shao also hung the chess pieces on the big board, looked at the board, thought for a while, and said: "Two stars against two stars, this is the most common layout. Both sides need to gain momentum and speed, and pursue a mid-game battle."

Just as Yu Shao was speaking, the black piece fell again.

Six columns and seventeen rows, small flying hanging.

Seeing this, Xu Zijin took out the chess piece first and hung it on the big board. After thinking for a while, he said, "This time, the black piece chose Xiaofei to hang the corner instead of guarding it."

"It seems that Master Kong Zi still wants to take the initiative. Judging from Master Ma Dong's previous moves, he is not inclined to defend. I'm afraid he will directly force the black piece and force it to express its position."

As Yu Shao spoke, he took out the white piece and hung it on the chessboard.

Eight columns and seventeen rows, force! Just as Yu Shao hung up the white piece, the next moment, on the big screen, the white piece also fell, and the position of the piece was exactly the same as the position Yu Shao had dropped in advance.

Eight columns and seventeen rows, forced.

You hit the nail on the head.

On the big screen, the black and white sides kept placing chess pieces.

Although this was a slow game, both sides made moves very quickly in the early layout phase.

Yu Shao also kept taking out chess pieces and hanging them on the chessboard, analyzing the game. Xu Zijin also cooperated with him in hanging the chess pieces, occasionally interjecting a few words of his own opinions.

Seeing this scene, the director was a little surprised and couldn't help but whisper to the assistant beside him: "Has Yu Shao 2nd Dan really never explained it before?"

"Boss, for sure."

The assistant nodded and replied, "How long has he been a professional chess player?"

"No, since this is his first time explaining, then he..."

The director stroked his chin and looked at Yu Shao strangely. He hesitated for a moment, pondered the wording, and then continued to ask: "Why do I always feel that he looks very familiar with this? Is it my illusion?"

The assistant looked at Yu Shao on the stage, twitched his lips, and whispered: "Boss, this is strange, I actually have the same feeling."
