Chess Soul: Buy the Shijia chessboard at the beginning

In August 2019, the Chinese Chess Academy officially announced that after consultations among the four Asian chess academies, the Japanese Go Tournament will be held in advance to November. With December left, the Chinese Chess Academy will hold the Elf Cup World Go Championship.

The first Elf Cup will take the form of an invitational tournament, including 6 places for the Chinese Chess Academy, 4 places for the Korean Chess Academy, 4 places for the Japanese Chess Academy, and 2 places for the Taipei Chess Academy.

The top 16 will enter the group stage, divided into 4 groups, with four people in each group. The top two will advance. If the points are tied, the outcome will depend on the outcome. The relationship between victory and defeat is cyclical, depending on the total number of matches in the game, and the team with the larger number of matches will be promoted. To admit defeat in the middle of the game requires the consent of the opponent, and the points will be calculated according to the tenth number of losses on the board. The same number of scenes depends on the duration, and the shorter the duration, the higher the number.

This kind of competition system is more conducive for chess players to gradually enter the state.

Tian Minze officially announced through a VCR in November that he would return to the competition and will participate in the Elf Cup main event next month.

Originally, the world's chess players were still a little less enthusiastic about this new Elf Cup, but when they heard that Tian Minze was participating, places became tight for a while.

The Korean Chess Academy was in a dispute over four places and could only select the contestants through two games. In the end, Shin Jin-wook defeated Lim Il-hwan to get the place.

In addition to Ko Yong-ha who is determined to participate, the Korean team will send four players: Ko Yong-ha, Byun Kahuang, Park Tianzi, and Shin Jin-wook.

This time Tian Minze's comeback once again set off the chess world. In Tian Minze's personal live broadcast room, the number of viewers directly exceeded 10 million, all coming to witness Tian Minze's state.

Logically speaking, Tian Minze is only 20 years old now, at the peak of his competitive status, but he has been away from the competition for a year and has never played a real professional game. No one knows what his status is.

Many chess fans also speculated that this might be just a promotional tool for Elf Cars. After all, this Go game revealed the organizer's propaganda everywhere, which really made chess fans feel a bit like advertising.

Especially the competition venue was chosen directly at the Pengcheng Elf Automobile Factory. All participating chess players will check in in the city, and then go to the competition venue after completing the elf car collection model.

Before the start of the competition, the camera was not shown to the contestants, but to the production workshops of the Elf Automobile factory. Lin Dawei also appeared on camera to introduce the conditions of the four major workshops with his own manufacturing vice president Sun Xiangjun.

Looking at the nervous Sun Xiangjun, the audience couldn't help but smile, realizing that this automobile company also has older employees.

The focus of the sample is on the automobile production line, especially the electric vehicles in the assembly workshop. Batteries from the future era are being assembled, and then quality inspection is started. It looks very scientific.

After the entire promotional video was played, the camera immediately switched to the chess players riding in elf cars to the competition venue. The four elf cars today are all in standard colors, including blue, red, white, and black. color.

The latter is customized color matching. Compared with traditional colors, customized color matching is naturally much better-looking. It adds more lines and good-looking color matching. This type of customized color matching naturally requires extra money when buying a car.

Many fans were a little tempted when they saw the various colors, especially the pink model, which featured a girly color scheme, which made many female fans exclaim.

Elf Live also specially arranged interviews on the red carpet. In addition to normal Go questions such as expectations for the game and who they most want to play against, they also specifically asked whether the Elf car is comfortable and how do you feel about the big screen? The problem.

Of course, the interviews were all arranged in advance, and Genie Motors also paid for the advertising, so it was naturally well received.

As the first car company to adopt such a direct promotion method, it broke some of the traditional car sales methods of traditional car companies, directly reduced the dimensionality and captured the essence of Internet marketing.

Coupled with the overwhelming number of copies and hot searches, Genie Car has become really popular.

Even many girls who don’t know much about cars know that there is a new brand called Elf Auto, and Elf Auto has also connected Guan Ju with My Fair Lady, turning the pink model of Guan Ju’s car into an exclusive car for his girlfriend.

Ren Songhao is really familiar with playing with concepts, and he can be said to have gone all out to promote it.

Tian Minze was the last one to arrive at the competition venue. The flashlights of Go reporters on the scene kept flashing, "Tian Jiuduan, are you confident in the competition?"

"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have come back. It's not my first day as a professional chess player. I have participated in too many competitions," Tian Min said confidently, "I am bound to win the first Elf Cup. "

Although the game was in Pengcheng, Yu Lijun still did not go to watch the game. After all, Lin's father works here, so it would still be a bit embarrassing if he bumped into him.

Turn on the TV at home, "An An, watch dad."

An An, who is over one year old, dances with joy, "Daddy, daddy!"

Aunt Bai smiled and picked up the baby, "She is still too young. If she doesn't look at electronic products, her shortsightedness will be in trouble."

At the beginning of winter, An An and Aunt Bai went to live in Pengcheng. The climate here was much more comfortable than that in Kyoto. At this time, Lin Miaomiao, who was still working in Kyoto every day, was simply torture.

Aunt Bai took An An to play in the yard, and the garden cat Junjun was also having fun in the yard. Yu Lijun smiled and watched her daughter play, waiting for Tian Minze's game to start.

Tian Minze took over the draw very well. A Taipei player Wang Yuanjun, a Korean chess player Park Tianzi, and a Japanese chess player Zama Kudan were not considered first-class players.

In the first round, Tian Minze faced Wang Yuanjun. The two shook hands before the game. Tian Minze couldn't help but smile. Wang Yuanjun was a little strange. Tian Minze explained, "Suddenly it occurred to me that Li Jun should also be watching this. Chess, I heard that you practiced chess together when you were young."

Wang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Yu Lijun was a beautiful Go girl at that time. It was the dream of all boys in the chess academy. Now that she has grown up, we have not contacted each other for a long time."

Tian Min nodded, thinking that Yu Lijun in the Loli era was indeed sweet and cute. It was such a wonderful experience to be able to watch this beautiful Go girl grow up step by step and marry her back home.

However, after seeing the whimsical Wang Yuanjun across from him, who dared to say that Yu Lijun was a dream in front of him, Tian Minze decided to kill him decisively.

After a game of chess, Wang Yuanjun didn't even want to stand up and shake hands with his opponent.

Evening sports news broadcast:

"Today the Elf Cup started. In the first round, Tian Min, who was playing black, crushed everything and won with a fourteen-and-a-half-eye advantage. He got 3 points and a net win of 7 points, ranking first in the group. Returning to the competition. Tian Minze still shows excellent competitive form, and we look forward to his next performance."
