Chapter 74 She is anxious
In order to inject more fresh blood into the chess world, the organizing committee of this year's Yuen Long Ronghua Cup Chess Tournament invited well-known internet celebrities such as Li Jia, Fang Fei, Lang Qiqi and other relatively well-known masters to broadcast the entire event live.
Although it is not yet 9:30, the number of viewers in the live broadcast rooms of major anchors has reached nearly 2.5 million!
The netizens in the live broadcast room were also in high spirits.
Because the lineup of participants in this year's Yuen Long Huarong Cup is very large.
Especially the super rising star named Shao Yi, who has become very famous in the chess circle in the past two years and can sweep the field almost every time.
Therefore, the battle between Shao Yi and those senior masters this year is also one of the main highlights of this competition!
at the same time.
Xike Village...
Bai Lianwan, who was in the room, had already opened her laptop and entered the live broadcast room, supporting her cheek with her little hands and preparing to watch the live broadcast.
But soon, Bai Lianwan reacted.
She originally wanted to stay away from Ji Chen, so she refused her grandfather's invitation to go watch the game.
Why did the live broadcast start again for no apparent reason?
hateful!
Turn it off!
Thinking of this, Bai Lianwan clapped her hands, closed the laptop again, stood up and walked to the bed, rolled directly onto the soft bed, and buried her head in the quilt.
"hateful……"
"Why is there still his smell on the quilt..."
Muttering something, Bai Lianwan got up from the bed, hugged the quilt and ran to the washing machine on the first floor.
However, just as he opened the washing machine and was about to throw the quilt in, his little body paused again.
Finally, she stood in front of the washing machine for a few minutes, then ran back to the bedroom, holding the quilt in her arms.
…
at the same time.
The cafe next to Yao Ri Mansion.
A beautiful figure has already found a seat by the window and sat down.
After ordering a cup of American coffee, the girl supported her chin with one hand and stared at the exit door of the mansion with her beautiful eyes.
at this time……
Inside the mansion...
Dozens of chess enthusiasts, contestants and staff have gathered.
To prevent contestants from cheating, all those entering the venue must hand in their electronic devices.
Almost all those who can enter the scene are people with a certain fame and status in the chess world.
In order to prevent the audience from affecting the performance of the players, unrelated personnel are generally not allowed to enter.
So, excluding the staff and some coaches who came with their apprentices, there were a total of 16 contestants who actually participated in this competition, divided into 8 groups.
After each round of competition, the eight groups will select new opponents.
There are three games in total.
The first round is 16 to 8.
The second game was a 8-to-4 match.
The third game will be a 4-to-2 match, and the champion of this year will be selected. The one with the highest score in the match will win.
So it doesn’t matter whether we win or lose this game, the most important thing is the points.
Before participating in the competition, Ji Chen also learned about the rules of the competition with Xia Zhonggeng, but he didn't think too much about it. He only had one thought in his mind.
As long as we can beat them, that's enough!
At this moment, Ji Chen suddenly felt a very uncomfortable gaze falling on him.
Following the direction of the gaze, a face that was somewhat familiar but also inexplicably disliked suddenly came into view.
Shao Yi on the opposite side looked at Ji Chen who was extremely conspicuous in the crowd, and felt inexplicably unhappy with him.
The two of them just looked at each other, and a hint of tension inexplicably appeared in the air.
It wasn't until the host's voice came from the huge screen that the two people's attention was diverted.
"Everyone, our Yuen Long Ronghua Cup Chess Tournament is about to officially begin! Before we begin, we need the computer behind us to randomly match us with opponents."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the names of today's 16 contestants appeared on the big screen behind him.
When netizens in the live broadcast room saw the unfamiliar name among the 16 people synchronized to the live broadcast screen, a series of question marks popped up instantly.
"Huh? Ji Chen? Who is this? Why have I never heard of him?"
"Did the staff make a typo?"
"That's right! Aren't all the participants in this competition at the Grand Master or Grand Master level? Otherwise, they're First Class Knights. These titles are not low, so we should know his name."
…
At this moment, the host also noticed the barrage of comments coming from the live broadcast room. As the names on the big screen began to scroll through, he spoke to the netizens, "Everyone, we didn't make a mistake with this Ji Chen. He is the new disciple of the Southern Guangdong Go Master Xia Zhonggeng."
"Although this is his first official competition, Elder Xia values this disciple very much. Let's wait and see his performance!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was an uproar in the live broadcast room!
"What? Did I hear that correctly? Letting a complete newbie compete with veteran chess players?"
"I respect Mr. Xia very much, but I cannot agree with his decision! Why can't he let more outstanding people participate?"
"Is even the chess community becoming corrupt now? A newcomer directly competing against a grandmaster?"
"What the hell! I'm instantly in no mood to watch this!"
…
Not only the netizens in the live broadcast room, but even the big anchors who were responsible for commentating in various live broadcast rooms were instantly depressed.
"Are you kidding, Mr. Xia?"
"Does Ji Chen understand his opponent's moves? How can I explain this?"
"There's no need for explanation. Any special agent could have taken him down directly. It's just a waste of a competition spot."
…
Everyone started to complain, but once the competition started, the matter was already settled. Besides, Ji Chen was the person personally appointed by Old Xia, so the organizers had no choice but to let the competition continue.
However, many netizens were still angry and reposted the post to complain.
"This year's Yuen Long Wing Wah Cup lacks sincerity, allowing a newcomer to compete against the grandmasters."
"This is shady! Officials should step in and take action. What's the point of letting a newbie participate in such a large-scale competition? Shouldn't the opportunity be left to those with more experience?"
"Shocked! The Guangdong Go Master actually made such a decision in the Yuen Long Ronghua Cup!"
…
As netizens forwarded the content, the popularity of the major live broadcast rooms not only did not decline, but instead attracted a large number of onlookers.
"I heard there's something fishy going on in the chess world. Even though I don't understand chess, I came here to have some fun."
"The front row is selling sunflower seeds, soda, and drink playing cards!"
"The person in front, could you please be more serious? Chess is the quintessence of Chinese culture! How can people behave so recklessly? We should resist the reckless behavior of newcomers against the emperor today!"
"That's right, Mr. Xia was fooled by this guy and actually made such an outrageous decision!"
"This person should be participating in the competition with funds!"
Rabbit Hat: "Old Xia has invited people to participate, which means he is capable. There is no need to attack him like this. You will be slapped in the face later!"
"Huh? The girl upstairs is actually speaking up for that newcomer. Are you kidding me?"
"Still slapping her face? It's hilarious. Is this little sister still asleep?"
Rabbit Hat: "I'm telling the truth."
"Sister, you are so sure, do you know this new guy?"
"Isn't that his girlfriend?"
Bunny Hat: "No (angry)!!"
"She's anxious! This girl is anxious! That's it!"
