Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

At the same time, this China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament also attracted widespread attention in the country, partly due to official publicity and partly due to Jiang Zhujiu's outstanding performance.

However, just when the domestic audience was looking forward to the Chinese team being able to break the record and win the championship in one go.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse after Kobayashi Koichi came on stage. Not only did he win five games in a row, but he also swept four of them directly. This undoubtedly poured cold water on the domestic audience.

Domestic media also calmed down and began to explain the gap between Chinese and Japanese Go in their reports, while also reporting many of Kobayashi Koichi's deeds.

"Kobayashi Koichi is indeed a top-notch Japanese chess player. His strength is truly terrifying."

"Yes, this guy is terribly strong. He won four games by mid-range and one by eight points. His strength is totally on a different level."

"Is this the gap between Chinese and Japanese chess players? Top-notch chess players are not in the same league as ordinary 9th-dan players."

"The key is that we only have two players left now. Our main player Nie Weiping also lost two games in a row against Kobayashi Koichi."

April 4st is April Fools’ Day.

Early in the morning, Zhuang Tunan ran to the school cafeteria to grab a seat, not to grab food, but to watch TV.

There is a TV in the cafeteria, and usually many students come to watch foreign language lectures. However, there are many more people today than usual, not only because today is Sunday, but also because a Go competition is about to be broadcast.

This China-Japan Go Tournament was broadcast live by CCTV. Although it was called a live broadcast, it actually used the signal from Tokyo TV. Even the subtitles were in Japanese, so real-time translation had to be arranged. Therefore, the sound was always one or two beats slower than the picture.

However, even so, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the domestic people to watch the game.

"Zhuang Tunan came quite early."

When Zhuang Tunan turned around, he found that several classmates had arrived.

"Isn't there Qin Hao's match today? Are you guys coming too?"

"Yes, didn't the teacher say that those who have time today can come and cheer for Qin Hao."

It was not just Zhuang Tunan's class. Tongji's campus radio started broadcasting half a month ago. Regardless of winning or losing, as a Tongji student, being able to participate in such a high-level competition was already a glory for the school. Coupled with Kobayashi Koichi's sudden outbreak and the ups and downs of the game, it also touched the hearts of countless Tongji students.

"Hey, stop talking, it's almost time to start."

A classmate's words made the atmosphere in the cafeteria tense.

Zhuang Tunan subconsciously glanced around and happened to see Li Jia hurrying over.

"Sorry, please make way." Li Jia tried hard to squeeze in front of the TV, but because she arrived a little late, the TV was already full of people, so she could only stand on tiptoe at the back to watch.

In Suzhou, in the cotton mill family lane, the small courtyard was also crowded with people.

Song Ying enthusiastically took out various snacks for the children, while Huang Ling helped pour tea.

Zhang A-mei asked while cracking melon seeds: "Song Ying, did Haozi go abroad by plane or by train this time?"

Wang Yong's wife next door curled her lips and said, "How can a train reach Japan? They have to build the tracks in the sea. They must take a plane."

"Of course I know. I just said it casually..."

Seeing that Zhang A-mei and Wang Yong's wife were about to quarrel, Wu Jianguo suddenly shouted: "Haozi is out, the game is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, Song Ying quickly sat in front of the TV, and the attention of the others was also drawn over. Zhang A'mei and Wang Yong's wife snorted coldly upon seeing this, and turned away with disgust at each other.

"Wow, Brother Hao looks so handsome today." Lin Dongzhe said in an exaggerated tone, pointing at Qin Hao who was slowly walking towards the ring on TV.

Song Ying nodded in agreement: "This little suit makes Haozi look really smart. It must be Sister Ling's skillful hands."

Huang Ling covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's because Haozi has a good physique. I also made a suit like this for Tunan, but it doesn't have the same effect when he wears it."

Zhuang Chaoying had never returned home since the Chinese New Year, so naturally she would not visit the Zhuang family again. She would only ask Xiang Pengfei for living expenses for the two children when he occasionally met Zhuang Chaoying at school. Huang Ling had also figured this out. Anyway, if she didn't ask Zhuang Chaoying for living expenses, it would definitely be given to her by Grandpa and Grandma Zhuang in the end. Regardless of whether she and Zhuang Chaoying divorced or not, Zhuang Chaoying, as the father of the two children, had the responsibility to raise the children, and it would be a waste not to take the child support.

Zhuang Xiaoting nodded in agreement. Although Zhuang Tunan was her biological brother, it was indeed the fact.

Xiang Pengfei suddenly said weakly: "Do you think Brother Hao can beat that Xiao Lin?"

This sentence instantly changed the atmosphere of the entire courtyard. Zhuang Xiaoting subconsciously pulled Xiang Pengfei's sleeve to signal him not to talk nonsense.

Lin Dongzhe was very confident in Qin Hao: "Brother Hao will definitely win. He has never lost in all the chess games he has played for so long."

"That's right, Haozi will definitely be able to defeat that little Japanese and win glory for the country."

"Don't worry, Song Ying. With so many of us here to cheer for Haozi, he will definitely win."

"Shh, stop arguing, it's already started."

……

Chess Academy Arena, Tokyo, Japan.

Qin Hao and Kobayashi Koichi have already sat at the two ends of the chessboard.

Kobayashi Koichi was just in his early thirties, at the peak of his chess proficiency. Both his calculation ability and experience were at their peak. The Japanese media once rated him as one of the six top-notch chess players.

Before the game started, Kobayashi Koichi suddenly smiled and said to Qin Hao: "I heard that you have never lost in China?"

"It's the same not only in China, but everywhere." Qin Hao replied casually in Japanese.

Kobayashi was stunned at first, then he smiled playfully: "I hope your chess skills are as good as your Japanese pronunciation."

"I hope you can still laugh after the game."

"Interesting. It's been a long time since I met an opponent as interesting as you. Let's wait and see!"

After Kobayashi Koichi finished speaking, he reached out his hand and grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box, held them in his hand and placed them on the chessboard. In the competition of guessing pieces, usually the winner grabs the pieces, and the newcomer to the competition guesses.

"Single." Qin Hao picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard. After a crisp sound, Kobayashi Mitsuyi opened his palm.

"It's a double. Your luck is not very good." Kobayashi Guang said with a smile.

Outside the ring, everyone on the Japanese team had a relaxed smile on their face. Kobayashi Koichi's outstanding performance was their confidence. What's more, there were only two chess players left on the Chinese side, Qin Hao and Nie Weiping. Even if Kobayashi Koichi lost, the Japanese side still had four chess players, Kataoka Satoshi, Ishida Akira, Kato Masao and Fujisawa Hideyuki.

In the eyes of the Japanese team, no matter how good Qin Hao is, he can't win five games in a row, not to mention that they have two top-notch players, Kato Masao and Fujisawa Hideyuki.

Compared with the Japanese team's calm and relaxed atmosphere, the atmosphere on the Chinese team's side was much more solemn.

Chen Zude said worriedly, "This is troublesome. Let Xiaolin Koichi play black. His attack is too fierce. I don't know if Xiao Qin can withstand it."

If it were in the past, Jiang Zhujiu and the others would definitely think that Qin Hao would definitely win, but ever since the fight with Kobayashi Koichi, everyone could feel the gap of being crushed, it was a suffocating feeling of oppression, this kind of oppression was not felt so strongly when they were fighting with Qin Hao.

Therefore, Jiang Zhujiu and the others were always worried about Qin Hao.

At the same time, the duel between Qin Hao and Kobayashi Koichi has begun on the ring.

At the beginning of the game, Kobayashi Koichi landed at the small position in the upper right corner, and Qin Hao followed closely with the point three three position in the upper right corner.

Kobayashi Koichi was not concerned about Qin Hao's backhand, because in the previous game where he defeated Jiang Zhujiu, the opponent also started with point 33.

Kobayashi Koichi was not in a hurry to fight with Qin Hao, but continued to lay out his moves. Black 3 and 5 were hung on the lower right and lower left corners respectively, while Qin Hao pressed forward step by step, sticking close to Kobayashi Koichi's black pieces from the very beginning and engaging in a fierce battle for the three corners.

At first, Kobayashi Koichi's expression was still relaxed, with a calm smile on his lips. This scene, broadcast live on TV, made countless Japanese audiences smile brightly, while the Chinese audiences were worried.

However, as the game entered the middle stage, Kobayashi Koichi's face in the TV camera was no longer so relaxed. His originally relaxed brows were frowned from time to time, and he often fell into thinking for more than two minutes.

On the other hand, Qin Hao had a calm expression from beginning to end, and he made his moves one after another, almost without thinking. As soon as Kobayashi Koichi's black piece landed, his white piece would follow closely.

Moreover, the Japanese team was surprised to find that from the tenth move, Kobayashi Koichi and Qin Hao had been fighting on the right side of the chessboard, with only a few scattered chess pieces hanging in the corner on the left.

Fujisawa Hideyuki noticed something was wrong: "This guy from the Chinese team put a lot of pressure on Kobayashi. This is the first time I've seen him struggle at the start."

Kobayashi Koichi's opening was very sharp, which was also the basis for him to win the Go Saint Championship and the Meijin Championship several times. However, after careful observation, Fujisawa Hideyuki found that from the current situation of both sides, Kobayashi Koichi's black pieces did not gain any advantage at all.

The key point is that Kobayashi Koichi is still playing black and moving first. According to the rules of international Go competitions, black pieces must be given a handicap of 5.5 points, which means that Kobayashi Koichi is actually at a disadvantage at this time.

"This is impossible."

This was Fujisawa Hideyuki's first reaction, but as the game progressed, he was surprised to find that near the endgame, Kobayashi Koichi not only failed to recover from the disadvantage, but on the contrary his black pieces had unknowingly fallen into a disadvantage.

"Isn't Kobayashi going to lose?"

This thought had unknowingly begun to spread among the Japanese team. Everyone had an expression of disbelief. They had never thought of such a situation before the game.

"Could it be that what this Chinese kid said before the game wasn't just bragging?"

Fujisawa Hideyuki said to Kato Masao beside him with a serious expression: "Have you found a problem?"

"What's the problem?" Kato Masao asked blankly.

Fujisawa Hideyuki looked at Jiang Zhujiu from the Chinese team and said, "Their chess moves are very similar."

Kato Masao followed Fujisawa Hideyuki's gaze and looked over. He still had some impression of Jiang Zhujiu. After all, the other party was the one who passed three levels in a row and defeated three high-ranking chess players. Kato Masao had studied Jiang Zhujiu's chess.

"Yes, they are a bit similar, but the difference in chess skills is huge."

Fujisawa Hideyuki nodded: "Is it possible that they are from the same school, just like you and Kobayashi-kun?"

Kato Masao thought for a moment and said, "It's possible."

"Oh no, Xiaolin-kun is in danger."

As the two were talking, the chess game between Qin Hao and Kobayashi Koichi had entered the endgame. As soon as it entered the endgame, Kobayashi Koichi felt the pressure doubled. Qin Hao's attack was too fierce, wave after wave, and he could not find a chance to breathe. He could only rush to remedy his own chess shape to avoid the big dragon being cut off.

What made Kobayashi Koichi feel even more terrified was that Qin Hao seemed to not need to think before each move, and his moves were always completed within ten seconds. What kind of enormous computing power did this require?

Kobayashi Koichi felt despair just thinking about it. In Japan, he was also a top-notch chess player famous for his calculation ability. But he asked himself that no matter how strong his calculation ability was, it would be impossible for him to achieve this.

"Does he have a computer in his head?"

Kobayashi Mitsui dropped a black piece in a trance, and when he reacted, his face suddenly changed.

The Japanese team was also in chaos after seeing Kobayashi Koichi's move.

"How can we go there? If the opponent is cut in the middle..."

"Oh my, why is Xiaolin-kun in such a bad state today? I can't even play this casually."

Jiang Zhujiu and other members of the Chinese team were extremely excited, and they all wanted to loudly give Qin Hao advice.

On the stage, as Qin Hao's white pieces landed on the ground, Kobayashi Koichi grabbed a handful of black pieces and placed them on the board with a wry smile.

"I lost."

"Boom~~~"

After a brief silence, the Chinese team burst into cheers and applause. Jiang Zhujiu and others ran to the stage impatiently and surrounded Qin Hao, crowding him in the center as if they were welcoming a hero.

This scene was also broadcast live by Tokyo TV to thousands of households in Japan, and many Japanese viewers who had just sat in front of the TV had not yet figured out what was going on.

"Is this the end?"

"How could this happen? How could Kobayashi lose to a Chinese chess player I've never heard of?"

"Isn't it said that there is a huge gap between Chinese chess players and Japan's top chess players? Why did Kobayashi Koichi lose to the Chinese chess player?"

At the same time, there was laughter and joy in the inland area across the sea.

In the cafeteria of Tongji University, countless college students excitedly looked for people around them to hug and celebrate, no matter whether they were male or female, or whether they knew each other or not. At this moment, they just wanted to vent their excitement.

"We win, we win!"

"What a top-notch chess player, he's just this good!"

"Haha, awesome! I actually won!"

Zhuang Tunan waved his fist fiercely. Compared with other students, he had some understanding of Go because of Qin Hao. Judging from the past records of matches between China and Japan, Japanese Go could be said to be an insurmountable mountain. Although Qin Hao had won many championships in China, facing Japan's top players was a completely different scene.

But no one expected that Qin Hao not only won, but also defeated the top Japanese chess player with an overwhelming advantage.

Looking at his classmates who were enjoying the fun, Li Jia felt the charm of Go for the first time in his life.

"He really did it." (End of this chapter)
