Chapter 58: What kind of chess game will he show me?
Although the eighth group has been confirmed, the process still needs to be completed.
The principal asked as usual, and after receiving responses from Jiangling No. 5 Middle School and South China No. 3 Middle School, he turned around and wrote the final grouping arrangements on the whiteboard with a marker.
Except for Jiangling No. 5 Middle School, everyone else couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that they didn't meet South China No. 3 Middle School in the first round.
While they felt fortunate, they rarely felt any gloating.
Quite the opposite, everyone felt heavy inside and inexplicably upset.
Because, even if they didn't meet South China No. 3 Middle School in the first round, they would still be facing the most brutal single-elimination tournament! There are a total of 16 schools, and in the first round... at least eight will be eliminated!
Even if they win the first round and advance to the second round, they may face South China No. 3 Middle School. If they don't meet them in the second round, they may meet them in the third round.
Even if they were lucky enough to not bump into them in the third round, they would definitely bump into Hua Nan No. 3 Middle School if they made it to the finals! The four words "Hua Nan No. 3 Middle School" were like a stone pressing down on everyone's heart, making them feel a huge pressure.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to feel any gloating over Jiangling No. 5 Middle School's encounter with South China No. 3 Middle School in the first round. Instead, they may even feel a sense of pity for the loss of the rabbit.
The atmosphere at the entire competition venue was so solemn that it made it difficult to breathe.
This made Zhou De, who felt the atmosphere of the stadium for the first time, a little frightened. Even with his lively personality, he became surprisingly quiet at this moment.
"Okay, the groups have been determined. The competition will officially begin in fifteen minutes at nine o'clock. Please prepare for the competition."
After saying that, the principal sat back in the referee's seat.
After hearing this, the originally solemn atmosphere was slightly alleviated, and contestants began to leave the competition venue in silence and walk towards the toilets.
Some people really wanted to go to the toilet, but some just wanted to wash their faces with cold water to calm themselves down. Some people couldn't stand the atmosphere at the moment and wanted to go to the corridor to breathe some fresh air.
"Does anyone need to go to the bathroom? If not, please go sit at the chess table and wait for the game to start."
Chen Jiaming looked at Yu Shao and the other two and spoke.
Zhong Yufei was going to the restroom, while Yu Shao and Xu Zijin went straight to the chess table for group five, pulled out chairs and sat down.
Not long after, as nine o'clock got closer, the contestants who had gone out earlier returned to the competition venue one after another and sat down in their respective seats.
The three contestants from Jianghai No. 1 Middle School also came to the opposite side of Yu Shao and the other two, pulled out their chairs, and sat opposite them.
Those non-contestants also gathered around the contestants they were following in advance, waiting for the competition to begin.
At this time, before the game started, Zheng Qin finally returned to the competition venue.
He stood at the door and looked around, quickly found where Yu Shao was, and then walked straight to Yu Shao's table.
The two young men following Zheng Qin looked at each other, and then they followed Zheng Qin and walked towards Yu Shao's table together.
Although they had already deduced from Zheng Qin's words that Yu Shao had most likely defeated Zheng Qin, and even won two games.
However, even so, Zheng Qin still did not give them an accurate answer, so they still found it hard to believe -
How could an ordinary high school student who hadn't even trained in a dojo possibly beat Zheng Qin? You know, Zheng Qin had even defeated several young men who were trying to become a dan in the preliminaries and semi-finals of this year's dan tournament! The two of them had the same idea at this moment -
"If that high school student named Yu Shao really beat Zheng Qin..."
"What kind of chess game will he show me?"
finally.
When the clock on the wall pointed to nine o'clock, the referee sitting next to the principal stood up and said loudly: "Time's up!"
"This team competition is a best-of-three match, and the winner will advance to the next round. Now, the contestants can start guessing the first move!"
Hearing this, Yu Shao reached into the chess box and grabbed a handful of chess pieces.
Seeing this, the boy sitting opposite Yu Shao also took a deep breath, looked at Yu Shao again, then reached into the chess box and took out the chess piece.
Yu Shao loosened his grip and the chess piece fell onto the board.
"Two, four, six, eight."
After counting the chess pieces, Yu Shao raised his head, looked at the other party, and said, "Eight."
The boy sitting opposite Yu Shao opened his hand, revealing a black piece in his palm, and said, "You didn't guess right, you play black."
After saying that, he put the black piece back and exchanged the chess box with Yu Shao.
In team competitions, in order to ensure fairness, the deputy general and the third general do not need to guess the first move. Everything is decided by the main general's guess. If the main general plays black, then the deputy general plays white, and the third general also plays black, and vice versa.
"Please advise me."
Yu Shao nodded slightly to the boy opposite him.
The boy opposite immediately responded, "Please give me your guidance."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The chess game begins! Yu Shao stared at the chessboard calmly, reached into the chess box with his right hand, and took out the chess piece.
Being in the arena, even if it was just the most amateur high school Go league, the tense atmosphere unique to the arena still made Yu Shao feel like he had returned to his previous life.
Therefore, the moment Yu Shao picked up the chess piece, an inexplicable aura emerged from Yu Shao.
Then--
Da! Sixteen columns and seventeen rows, small eye! The chess piece landed on the board with a loud and clear sound.
Seeing Yu Shao place the chess piece, the boy sitting opposite Yu Shao was actually a little stunned.
It was four or five seconds later that he finally came back to his senses.
“This guy…”
His chest heaved, his expression looked a little ugly, and a feeling of shame and anger inexplicably surged in his heart, but even he himself didn't know where this shame and anger came from.
He took a deep breath, reached into the chess box, picked out the chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard.
Four columns and four rows, stars!
Both sides continued to make moves, and soon formed a basic opening pattern of wrong small eyes against star small eyes, and quickly finished more than a dozen moves.
"Is this a jump or a pull?"
The boy sitting opposite Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and fell into deep thought.
Finally, he made a decision.
He glanced at Yu Shao, reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and then, subconsciously imitating Yu Shao's move just now, knocked the chess piece down! "I'll show you some color!"
Da! Eighteen columns and twelve rows, capture! The white piece chose neither jumping nor pulling, but finally chose to capture. After only a dozen moves, it was the first to show its prowess, showing its fangs to the black piece!
