He lost. Narita, a professional third-dan, actually lost to the Chinese guy in front of him.
Don't say that Narita himself can't accept it.
Even the chess players from Sakura Country behind him couldn't accept it.
Moreover, the final reversal of the Chinese man in front of him was a step-by-step, decisive move.
It directly broke Narita's heart.
Without giving Narita any chance to fight back, Narita's chess pieces were pushed towards death step by step.
The most terrifying thing is that the reason why Narita's chess was forced into a desperate situation step by step was not just because of the chess of the Chinese.
Most of them were because of the chess pieces that Narita had placed before, which somehow became the iron arms of a cage that trapped his own chess pieces.
It felt like Narita's own chess piece was trapped by his other chess pieces.
Not to mention Narita himself, even the chess players from the Sakura Country behind him all felt the despair of the black pieces in this game.
This situation was caused entirely because of the white chess piece.
Every move of the black chess piece seemed to have been set by the white chess piece from the very beginning.
It was as if Narita's black pieces were controlled by the Chinese man's white pieces.
Every step he took was controlled by the other party.
By the time Narita reacted, his chess pieces had already been completely controlled by his opponent.
In the last few moves, Narita felt a deep sense of suffocating despair.
It is a state where you know there is a dead end ahead but you cannot control it. No matter how much I resist.
It was of no avail, and he could only watch himself step into the death cage built by the other party.
How could there be such a terrible chess game in the world?
"I... lost..."
Narita lowered his head deeply, picked up two chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
The hair on his forehead blocked his face, making it difficult to see his expression.
However, his voice was hollow, and one could sense the despair in it.
Before coming to eat, he played a game of Go with a player from another Go club who was also staying in the hotel.
The other person is about the same age as him.
The two of them are at the same rank.
But, he was just that little bit short, just that little bit short, and he lost.
He was very unwilling to lose and very unconvinced about the loss.
That's why I'm so angry.
Only when the Chinese kid bumped into him would he vent his anger on the Chinese kid.
Although he was only eighteen years old, Narita was already a professional fourth-dan. Many people around him say that he is a genius.
He is the seedling of the future chess god.
He himself thinks so too.
After losing to a chess player from his own country who is also a 4th dan today, he just thought that he was not in good shape.
After all, I just came to the United States from the Land of Sakura yesterday. The time difference has not been reversed yet.
But now, he lost to a Chinese again.
He is still an unknown Chinese and seems to be an amateur chess player.
Moreover, he couldn't even last more than seventy moves against his opponent.
The opponent is so strong that it is both terrifying and despairing.
"Thank you."
There was no trace of joy on Qiu Shui's face.
Because defeating them was something that had already been expected.
"Next."
Only after Qiu Shui's calm voice fell did Cheng Tian come back to his senses.
He stood up silently and walked aside. Without saying a word.
It formed a sharp contrast with the high-spirited look just now.
"Kawashima, you go ahead."
Another chess player from the Sakura Country sat opposite Qiu Shui.
Twenty minutes later.
"I lost..."
Two white chess pieces were placed on the chessboard.
There is one more chess player from Sakura Country with his head down, exuding frustration.
The foreigners who were watching the fun nearby suddenly exclaimed.
Although many of them don't know much about Go.
However, because the Chess God Cup is held here.
They all know something about it, more or less.
They had just heard those young men from Sakura Country say that they were professional chess players.
In their impression, professional chess players are all very good at playing chess.
However, he lost to the Chinese guy.
And, they lost so quickly.
It's just shocking.
Several Americans were discussing in English.
"This Chinese guy seems to be very powerful."
"He must be very good. He has already defeated two Sakura people."
"This Chinese guy is so amazing, could he also be here to participate in the Chess God Cup?"
"That should be it."
…
"Next……"
There are a total of five chess players from Sakura Country.
In less than an hour, Qiu Shui had already won two.
As for the remaining three people, Qiu Shui felt that they should speed up.
Because he was a little hungry.
So the remaining three people were in trouble.
Qiu Shui no longer held back his strength.
From the beginning, they launched a fierce attack on them.
The three chess players from the Sakura Country were made to question their lives.
The five chess players from Sakura Country, who had looked so proud just now, were all deflated at this moment.
They all lowered their heads and shrunk their necks, completely losing the confident and arrogant look they had just now.
"Okay, let's call it a day." Qiu Shui stood up, stretched, and said to the bodyguard beside him, "I'm hungry, let someone order some food."
"yes."
The bodyguard immediately waved to the waiter standing not far away.
Then, he told the waiter to bring the dishes that Lou Yuchen had just ordered.
"Did you order?"
Qiu Shui asked Lou Yuchen with some surprise.
"Well, you should be hungry too, so you can just eat it directly."
Lou Yuchen is very familiar with Qiu Shui's strength.
Therefore, the time when Qiu Shui will end was calculated accurately.
Ordered the food in advance.
"You still understand me." Qiu Shui smiled at Lou Yuchen.
Liang Zitao glanced at the waiter and saw that he had started to serve the dishes. He immediately shouted to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen, "Come on, stop showing off your affection and come and sit down. The food is here."
"Let's go." Qiu Shui took Lou Yuchen's hand and walked towards the dining table.
The restaurant waiter immediately came forward to help Qiu Shui clean up the chess board and chess pieces.
"etc."
Narita's voice came from behind.
Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen stopped and looked back at him.
"May I have your name?"
Narita asked Qiu Shui with a serious face.
Qiushui said: "Qiushui, Qiu of autumn, water of rain."
"Qiu Shui?" Narita repeated the name, and then asked again, "Are you a professional ninth dan from China?"
That’s right, Narita had already confirmed in his mind that Qiu Shui was a professional chess player.
How could someone with such high chess skills not be a professional chess player?
Qiu Shui's strength is stronger than any of the domestic ninth-dan masters he knows.
He must be a professional ninth-dan chess player from China, he must be.
However, Qiu Shui replied calmly: "No, I'm just a beginner who has just been promoted."
After saying that, Qiu Shui didn't want to pay any more attention to them and walked directly to a long rectangular table and sat down.
This table is very large and can seat more than a dozen people.
"First stage?"
"How is this possible?"
"It's fake, it must be fake."
Narita and other Sakura Country chess players did not believe that Qiu Shui was just a professional first dan.
It's amazing that a professional chess player is so good. Have the professional chess players in China become so inward-looking?
So do they still have hope in this competition?
No, it starts from when Qiu Shui defeated them.
The faith in their hearts has already begun to waver.
Those chess players from Sakura Country originally got the answer from Qiu Shui.
If Qiu Shui is really a professional ninth-dan, then they have lost.
I will feel a little comforted.
After all, he is a professional ninth dan.
The strength is so much higher than theirs.
It's normal to win against them.
But Qiu Shui said that he was just a beginner.
The two words "first stage" pierced into the hearts of those chess players from the Sakura Country like a knife.
What's more, Qiu Shui's chess skills are too terrible.
It left an indelible mark in their hearts.
As long as they picked up the chess pieces again, today's game with Qiu Shui would keep popping up in their minds.
This is the aftereffect that every chess player who has played chess with Qiu Shui will experience.
Some chess players who are determined in their thinking will recover quickly.
But some people who are not firm in their consciousness will be greatly affected.
In three days, the Chess God Cup competition will begin.
If they can't adjust their mindset, they might be eliminated in the first round.
Looking at those chess players from the Sakura Country, they left in dismay.
Liang Zitao sighed, "It's really refreshing to see those people being hit hard."
This is much more satisfying than beating them up.
After all, beating them up would only result in minor injuries at best.
It will really hurt yourself.
But, Qiu Shui's move.
It didn't hurt them physically, but it broke them down from within.
“They should be affected by the game three days later.”
He Ran is soft-hearted.
But, I won't sympathize with them either.
After all, they were the ones who started all these things.
His hand wasn't seriously injured though.
But when playing chess, it will also be affected.
He Ran is not a saint, so she can forgive them. But I won’t sympathize with them.
Fang Jun sneered, "You deserve it."
Then he looked at Qiu Shui, who was chatting and laughing with Lou Yuchen with elegant manners.
This Qiu Shui is indeed insidious.
Qiu Shui was basically not affected by this incident.
Eat when you should, drink when you should.
However, the surveillance video that I paid someone to copy is not available for the time being.
In the afternoon, Bai Yan and others went out.
So, I didn't know what happened in the restaurant until I came back.
And what happened in the restaurant quickly spread.
Those five chess players from Sakura Country are from the same chess club.
After the president of their chess club heard about this.
I'm so angry.
"What happened? I heard that the five of you lost a game of chess to a Chinese guy?"
The president of the Narita et al. chess club is named Takahashi Motozai.
Takahashi Motozai is one of the top five professional Go players in the Land of Sakura.
He is also the youngest ninth dan in Sakura Country.
Because he is only twenty-five years old this year.
One year younger than Yusuke Yamada's son, Yusuke Ichiro.
The reason why he led the team to participate in the competition this time was to let the whole world see the strength of their chess club's players at the Chess God Cup.
At the same time, he was also aiming for the title of chess god.
But he didn't expect that before the game even started, all the chess players he brought with him had lost to the Chinese.
Moreover, he lost to the same Chinese guy.
This matter has basically spread among the several chess clubs and teams that came to participate.
His face was completely disgraced by Narita and others.
"I'm very sorry, Takahashi-kun. This is our fault."
"It's us who embarrassed you."
Narita and others admitted it directly without any excuses.
"This incident is not only a disgrace to me, but also a disgrace to our empire."
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, then all of you should return home. I asked you to bring glory to our Great Sakura Empire, not to bring shame to our empire."
Takahashi Motozai was really angry.
These chess players were carefully selected by him from across the country.
Originally I just wanted to bring them out to see the world.
Participate in competitions to gain knowledge and experience.
Unexpectedly, the game hasn’t started yet.
They have already been defeated by others.
Moreover, he was defeated by a Chinese.
"Takahashi-kun, this matter is my fault alone. It has nothing to do with Kawashima and the others."
Originally, this matter was instigated by Narita himself.
To be honest, other people were also basically implicated by him.
Narita knew that even if he didn't say it, others would tell Takahashi Motozai the truth.
It is better for him to say it himself than to let others say it.
At the same time, take responsibility on yourself and turn passivity into initiative.
Others will also help him out of consideration for the fact that they are in the same chess club.
Sure enough, he just finished speaking.
When the others saw that he took the responsibility on himself, they also spoke up.
"No, we are both wrong about this matter."
"Takahashi-kun, if you want to punish, punish us together."
"We are all in this together when we lose the game."
Seeing how united these people were, Takahashi felt both relieved and annoyed.
"I will punish you. That is inevitable. Now, tell me everything clearly. Don't leave out a single detail."
"Hi."
Several chess players narrated what had happened in detail.
After hearing this, Takahashi's face turned gloomy.
"Qiu Shui?"
He opened his cell phone, found a photo in the album, and asked several chess players.
"Is the Qiu Shui you are talking about him?"
The photo playing on Takahashi's phone was the photo of Qiu Shui at the Hualong Cup awards ceremony.
In the photo, Qiu Shui is holding up the Hualong Cup trophy with a faint smile, looking like a nobleman who appeared on TV.
"It's him." Narita was surprised and asked, "Takahashi-kun, how do you have his photo?"
"Baka."
Gao Qiao said angrily: "This is the champion of the Hualong Cup in China this year. I heard that he was still an amateur chess player when he participated in the competition. He defeated more than a dozen professional chess players of 8th dan. Among them was our Sakura Country's Hashimoto Shin 8th dan."
At that time, there were two professional 8th dan players from Sakura Country participating in the competition.
It’s just a pity that before entering the finals, the 8th dan Hashimoto Shin from Sakura Country met Qiu Shui.
Eliminated by Qiu Shui.
"I've told you guys a long time ago, don't underestimate the Chinese. In addition to Lou Yuchen, there are many great chess players among the Chinese people."
"Didn't I ask you to pay attention to the Hualong Cup competition? Didn't you guys watch it?"
Takahashi only paid attention to the Hualong Cup competition after hearing that an amateur chess player from China defeated Hashimoto Makoto.
After all, there were many competitions going on in Sakura Country at that time.
It's a foreign competition, and apart from the higher prize money, there's really nothing worth noting.
After all, there aren't many experts in that kind of competition.
As a ninth-dan player, Takahashi Motozai also looks down on players of lower ranks than himself.
However, Qiu Shui, who was able to defeat many professional 8th-dan chess players to reach the top, deserves his attention.
Not only did he pay attention to it himself, he also asked other chess players in the chess club to pay attention to it.
I didn't expect that they would pretend to obey but actually disobey.
To the extent that, when they met each other, they didn't recognize each other.
And foolishly sent it up to be bullied by others.
And there is also a chess god Lou Yuchen in there.
These guys really think they are great just because they won a few big games in the country.
This is a good thing, they should be taught a lesson.
However, this does not mean that he is ready to let it go.
That Qiu Shui defeated so many chess players in their chess club and brought great shame to their chess club. As the president of the chess club, he must save his face.
Qiu Shui didn't know that another person was targeting him.
But even if I knew, I wouldn't care.
Soon, the day of the Chess God Cup competition arrived.
It has been snowing and cold in recent days.
Qiu Shui stayed in the hotel and didn't go out.
The game started at ten o'clock in the morning.
However, because of the need to sign in, chess players need to arrive at the competition venue in advance.
Qiushui and others lived nearby.
Therefore, it is most convenient to walk there directly.
The journey only takes a few minutes.
Thousands of professional chess players from all over the world will gather in Mijiale to decide who will own the title of chess god for the next three years.
It is worth mentioning that the prize money of this year's Chess God Cup has increased again.
There are several large companies in the United States that sponsored this Chess God Cup competition.
The prize money for the champion has accumulated to 300 million MiCoins.
Moreover, because the competition was held in the United States.
According to the regulations in the United States, people who win prize money in large-scale international competitions like this do not need to pay taxes.
Therefore, if the chess player wins the Chess God Cup, he can put all the 300 million yuan prize money directly into his own pocket.
The Hualong Cup, with a prize of 50 million Chinese Yuan, is enough to attract professional chess players from all over the world to fly to China.
The temptation of this 300 million yuan competition is needless to say.
In this Chess God Cup competition, there is no runner-up, no third place, only a champion.
There is only one winner in this competition.
The competition venue was very lively. After signing in, chess players from various countries entered the competition venue and found their seats and sat down.
On each player’s seat, the player’s name, nationality, and rank will be marked in Chinese and the national language of each country.
Because the seats are randomly matched, if you are unlucky, a low-ranking player may meet a high-ranking player in the first round.
Qiu Shui was lucky. In the first round, he met a professional chess player from Korea.
The rank is not high, just the fourth rank.
However, Qiu Shui did not underestimate his opponent.
After all, the chess players who are eligible to participate in the Chess God Cup are all professional chess players who have won championships in major competitions in their country.
When the Korean chess player saw that Qiu Shui's rank was only the first dan, there was undisguised contempt on his face.
When he first saw Qiu Shui, he felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
But I didn't think much about it.
I just thought in my heart that it might be because Qiu Shui has a common face.
Although she has an outstanding temperament, she looks ordinary.
In Korea, appearance is often what matters.
People who are good-looking are quite popular in Korea.
People with ordinary looks sometimes even have difficulty finding a job.
Of course, now it’s a Go game.
It depends on chess skills, not looks.
But not only is Qiu Shui not good-looking, his rank is also surprisingly low.
It’s actually a beginner’s section.
Qiu Shui looks to be in his twenties.
Not those teenagers.
Of course, when a 20-something first-dan comes to participate in the competition, people will look down on him at first.
"Do you Chinese have no chess players now? How dare you allow a beginner to participate in such an international competition?"
The Korean chess player on the opposite side named Han Jae-hee taunted Qiu Shui in Korean.
Qiu Shui didn’t understand Korean before, but there are language courses in various countries in the learning courses in the space.
Recently, Qiu Shui has been learning Korean, so he can barely understand what the other person is saying.
The other party saw that Qiu Shui did not respond after he finished speaking.
Thinking that Qiu Shui didn't understand what he said, the Korean man immediately started talking nonsense with another Korean chess player sitting next to him.
"Jin Zhongsen, take a quick look at the Chinese guy sitting opposite me. He is actually a beginner. Looking at his appearance, you can tell he must be one of the rich second-generations from China."
"He must have paid to be here. I've seen this kind of thing many times. The Chinese are a bunch of hypocritical guys. They fake everything, even the competition."
"As long as you have money, you can buy anything. I am so unlucky that I have to play chess with such a person who was bought with money. This is simply an insult to me as a professional chess player."
The Korean man named Kim Jung-sen looked over immediately after hearing this.
When he saw that the nameplate on Qiu Shui's desk really had "Shudan" written on it, he was also surprised.
Then, his eyes fell on Qiu Shui's face.
When he saw Qiu Shui, he was slightly stunned.
"He does look like one of those wealthy second-generations. But, Brother Xi, don't you think he looks familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere."
"Yes, he looks familiar. I think it's because he looks too ordinary. There are ordinary-looking people like him everywhere in China. It's not strange to see him familiar."
Han Jae-hee didn't care much at all.
On the contrary, it was Jin Zhongsen who looked at Qiu Shui carefully, trying seriously to recall whether he had seen this Chinese man before.
Qiu Shui sneered as he listened to the other person saying bad things about him in front of him.
I said to them in Korean: "You two are saying bad things about me right in front of me. Do you really think I don't understand, or are you deliberately trying to irritate me in front of me?"
Han Jae-hee and Kim Jung-sen were instantly surprised when they heard Qiu Shui speaking authentic Korean.
