Chapter 45 The Pride of Genius

The last game of chess was unexpectedly long.

In the middle game, the black and white sides were fighting closely, and the outcome could be reversed at any time. After a fierce battle in the middle game, they finally entered the final battle.

The outcome of this chess game is still uncertain, and even Yu Shao cannot predict it in advance.

Because the gap between the two sides is not that big now, he may think that the black pieces are going to win in the last second, but the black pieces give away these slight advantages in the next second, and the same is true for the white pieces.

At this time, everyone was watching the game of chess, waiting for it to end.

Except Xu Zijin.

Xu Zijin still sat on the chair, silently looking at the chessboard in front of him. He first picked up a black chess piece and dropped it, and then picked up a white chess piece and dropped it.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.

The chess pieces kept falling.

If the white piece really chooses to deal with the isolated piece, the situation will become unimaginably complicated, and the board will be so intense that she will not be able to control it or figure it out.

But can White really make a move? Therefore, she was analyzing all the changes that White could make after he eliminated the lone chess piece.

The more she dissected it, the more silent she became.

She dismantled many variations, and in the end, White was unable to make any moves. However, after she made the White Tiger variation, everything changed...

If the white piece can play the tiger move within the black piece's sphere of influence, then the situation will suddenly become so serious that it will be beyond her imagination!

It is hard to imagine the tiger move. Otherwise, she would not have analyzed many different moves before finally realizing that white also has the tiger move.

Xu Zijin turned his head and looked at Yu Shao who was watching the last game of chess.

"So, he only saw Bai Zi's method of curing the lone man."

"Or, when he saw Zhi Gu...he also saw Bai Zihu's move?"

The other side.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, the game was over and both sides started counting.

"Kuroko wins."

Chen Jiaming said softly: "After the handicap, I won by one and a half points."

The boy sitting opposite Zhong Yufei clenched his fist unwillingly, lowered his head and said, "I lost."

Hearing this, Zhong Yufei also breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "Thank you for your advice."

"Thanks for your advice."

The boy sitting opposite Zhong Yufei had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He gritted his teeth and admitted defeat.

Of course he was not convinced in his heart, because the gap between the two sides was not that big, and he was just a little bit away from winning the game.

But even if you are just a little bit away from winning, you still lose.

As for the other two people, they don’t have this worry because the gap is too big. One has no hope of winning at all, and the other has hope of winning but he doesn’t see it.

it's over.

Wang Rui remained silent.

In the end, none of the three of them won, and they lost all three games.

"It's a good rain."

Chen Jiaming patted his shoulder, looked at Wang Rui and the other two, and said with a smile: "You all played very well, and have improved a lot compared to last year. I'm afraid if I don't play well with you, I might lose."

Wang Rui and the other two lowered their heads and remained silent.

"I still say the same thing, all you have to do is to do your best for yourself, and that's enough."

Chen Jiaming smiled and said, "Although we lost the game, seeing your progress, I feel that your efforts this year have paid off. I am proud of you."

"Teacher Chen..."

Hearing this, Wang Rui and the other two couldn't help but be moved.

Chen Jiaming looked at the clock on the wall and said, "It's getting late. Let's call it a day for today. Everyone can go home."

After saying that, Chen Jiaming looked at Yu Shao and the other two and said, "Remember to come to the activity room after school to practice chess, but..."

Chen Jiaming paused and said with a smile, "I am not strong enough to beat you, and I can't teach you how to play chess. I can only let you play your own games and record the results."

"Oh, by the way, the school will provide you with dinner, and you can eat it at school."

…………

On the other side, the professional Go qualifying tournament.

"I...I lost!"

A boy in his early thirteen years old looked at the chessboard in front of him and lowered his head with reluctance.

"Thanks for your advice."

Although he won the game, Zheng Qin's expression was very calm. He nodded to his opponent, quickly packed up the chess pieces, stood up, turned around and left.

The two referees watched Zheng Qin go away in silence.

It was not until Zheng Qin walked out of the chess room that the two referees finally couldn't help but whispered.

"That's amazing. We've won three games in a row."

"The kid he was fighting against was from a dojo, right? But he still lost so quickly. He was easily defeated by his opponent in the middle of the battle."

"It is said that he has never trained in a dojo. He has never received professional training in a dojo, but he can play such a chess. It is really surprising!"

"If Zheng Qin can continue to maintain this level, passing the preliminaries should be a sure thing."

"Yes, those who participated in this year's qualifying tournament are under pressure. After all, the number of places to become professional chess players is limited."

"I heard that he actually had the ability to become a professional very early, but he chose to go to college first."

"Ah? Is this true?"

"Really? I heard Xia Wen, 3rd dan, say that she was once invited to be a guest at a college Go tournament. Zheng Qin won first place in that game. The strength Zheng Qin displayed in that game was close to that of a professional."

Hearing this, the bespectacled referee looked surprised and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't he get his dan status earlier? Why did he have to wait until college?"

"I heard that he felt that at that time, he only had the possibility of becoming a professional player, but he was not completely sure. He needed a certain amount of luck, such as a lottery, to become a professional player."

Another referee spoke up, "He said that if he were to participate in the ranking tournament, he didn't want to rely on any luck... He wanted to become a professional chess player with absolute chess skills and a perfect record."

Hearing this, the referee wearing glasses was speechless for a moment, feeling extremely shocked.

After a moment, he finally came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with emotion: "Is this the pride of a genius? It's hard to understand..."

Then, he said with some regret: "It's a pity that he didn't receive professional training in the dojo, otherwise, he should be much stronger than he is now, right?"

"It is said that he is not very interested in Go."

Another judge said, "Because he thinks he can play well easily and pass the dan tournament, he is unwilling to join the dojo and has little interest in becoming a professional player."

“Is this true or false?”

The referee with glasses was a little bit incredulous: "But, looking at the way he plays chess, he seems very serious and focused, and he seems to want to become a professional chess player!"

“That’s something I don’t understand either.”

Another referee nodded and asked in confusion, "What happened to make him suddenly change his mind? He doesn't seem as arrogant as the rumors say?"
