Chapter 84 What is a friend?
At this time, Teacher Jin shook his head and retorted: "It is because the two players at the three tables did not decide the winner, so at least it should be a three-table tiebreaker—"
Before Teacher Jin finished speaking, he heard Su Yiming beside him say, "Okay."
Teacher Jin was stunned for a moment.
The next second, Su Yiming walked out of the crowd. He looked at Yu Shao without avoiding, and their eyes met in mid-air. He said, "I'll play with you!"
After Teacher Jin came to his senses, he suddenly became anxious and hurriedly grabbed Su Yiming's clothes, trying to pull Su Yiming back.
Although he did not think that Su Yiming was not Yu Shao's opponent, he knew that Yu Shao's chess skills should not be underestimated, so, frankly speaking, he was not willing to take the risk.
He just finished watching Zhong Yufei's game. In terms of strength, he should be about the same as their second Yu Yong.
However, in the previous game, Zhong Yufei had the advantage but failed to win. Instead, he ended up in a three-disaster cycle, which led to an extra game. This definitely had a huge impact on Zhong Yufei's mentality.
Therefore, he would rather let Zhong Yufei and Yu Yong play one more game to decide the winner.
"Jin Xiao!"
Just then, a voice sounded, calling out Teacher Jin's full name.
Teacher Jin was a little stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound, and then saw He Yu in the crowd.
At this time, others also looked at He Yu.
When some people saw He Yu, their eyes widened and their expressions were a little shocked, obviously recognizing He Yu's identity.
"According to the rules of international team competitions, if the two teams are tied, an extra game will be required."
He Yu looked at Teacher Jin and said, "The rules of the extra game require each team to designate one player to compete. His request is not excessive. It can even be said that this is in line with the rules!"
Hearing this, the referee suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
He was just an amateur referee and had no idea how to handle the situation in a team competition. He naturally assumed that the two players who drew would have to play an extra game.
This is certainly true for individual competitions, but it is different in team competitions, as they compete not between individuals but between teams.
He Yu looked at Teacher Jin, paused, and then said, "Jin Xiao, you should know this rule after training in the dojo for half a year."
Teacher Jin fell silent for a moment.
Hearing what He Yu said, everyone was a little surprised. Even the three contestants from Guangnan High School looked very surprised and looked at Teacher Jin.
Obviously, they didn't know that Teacher Jin had stayed in the dojo for half a year. For some reason, Teacher Jin never mentioned this to anyone.
"We are friends. Because we are friends, I have to say this even if it means I risk losing you as a friend."
He Yu looked at Teacher Jin and slowly said, "Jin Xiao, even if this was an international team competition, I would have said it. What's more, this is just a high school Go league."
After saying that, He Yu looked at Yu Shao and asked, "Your name is Yu Shao, right?"
Yu Shao nodded.
"Okay, then Jiangling No. 1 Middle School has designated Yu Shao as the player for the extra game."
He Yu turned his head and looked at Teacher Jin again, saying, "According to the rules, you don't have to choose the contestant named Su Yiming, but someone else."
"This may sound a bit harsh, but to be honest, I don't think that, except for Su Yiming, the other two people on your side have a chance of winning against him."
"Jin Xiao, you choose."
After hearing what He Yu said, Guangnan High School's second general Yu Yong and third general Guo Jingxing looked a little humiliated, but they did not refute.
Because the facts can never be refuted.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Teacher Jin again, waiting for his reply.
Teacher Jin was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Teacher Jin finally let out a breath, nodded, and said, "I understand. Let's choose Su Yiming."
After receiving Mr. Jin's reply, everyone immediately turned their attention to the referee.
"good."
The referee nodded and said, "In that case, the two players who will compete in the extra round are Yu Shao from Jiangling No. 1 Middle School and Su Yiming from Guangnan Affiliated Middle School!"
"The match is a blitz game. Each player has 30 minutes. If they exceed the time limit, they will be declared the loser. So, the two players will prepare for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes——"
The referee was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Thirty minutes... No, twenty minutes is ok. I can be hungry, but my students need to go buy some food. They are still growing."
"Yes, twenty minutes. Let's go buy some bread to fill our stomachs!"
"Yes, and the players haven't eaten yet. How can they play chess on an empty stomach?"
Everyone nodded, and no one expressed the idea of leaving.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Everyone wants to watch the extra game to the end and see the moment when the champion is decided.
The referee glanced at the time on his wrist, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's take a break for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the extra game will begin."
The reason why he only gave ten minutes of rest time just now was mainly because he originally considered the extra game to be the same as the final, with one hour for each side plus a countdown.
In this case, this game of chess will probably last until at least nine or ten o'clock in the evening.
However, since this is a blitz tournament with a time limit, there is more time, so it would be a good idea to give the players some time to eat. Playing chess on an empty stomach will indeed affect the players' performance.
After hearing what the referee said, a group of people immediately rushed out of the competition venue, all ready to buy something to eat to fill their stomachs.
"Zhou De, do you have your cell phone?"
At this time, Chen Jiaming suddenly asked.
"I brought it, what's the matter?"
Zhou De took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket with a confused look on his face and asked.
"Open the payment code." Chen Jiaming said without explanation.
Zhou De stretched out his hand and tapped a few times on his mobile phone, quickly opened the payment code, and then looked at Chen Jiaming with a puzzled expression.
Chen Jiaming quickly scanned the code and transferred some money to Zhou De.
Hearing the sound of collecting money, Zhou De was confused, blinked his eyes, seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Teacher, I'm not the referee!"
"I told you to go buy some food and bring it over."
Chen Jiaming said speechlessly: "You are a sports student, now it's your turn to be useful!"
After hearing this, Zhou De suddenly realized what was going on and immediately said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I promise to buy the food and bring it over as quickly as possible!"
"Why don't you go now?"
Chen Jiaming couldn't help but glare at Zhou De.
"wait for me!"
Zhou De seemed to have a sense of mission. He nodded, put away his phone, and immediately ran out of the competition venue at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
