Chess Soul: Buy the Shijia chessboard at the beginning

In Seoul City, Tian Minze booked the top floor of the hotel in advance and looked down at the entire city.

This is one of the places with the largest gap between rich and poor in the world. Some people live in the clouds while others seek food in the soil.

It is somewhat similar to the cruel world of professional Go, where the winner takes all. To enter this black and white vanity fair, you often have to sacrifice all your youth. Regardless of victory or defeat, it is difficult to look back.

Take the celebrity match as an example. Many chess players in the first round participate at their own expense, and the bonuses are not distributed until the first round of the main event.

Tian Minze won the fourth round and reached the top 8. The guaranteed bonus is only 10 yuan. The top four bonus is 20 yuan. Entering the challenge finals is only 30 yuan. The guaranteed bonus for winning the challenge right is 40 yuan, and the bonus for winning the title is 130 million. .

The championship bonus is more than three times higher than that of others.

"So we have to win," Tian Minze thought to himself.

The first competition involving Chinese chess players in 2015 will officially start at the Korean Chess Academy on January 1.

Tian Minze played against the newcomers Wang Hegu of the Japanese Chess Academy first, and the winner challenged Lin Ilhwan of the Korean Chess Academy.

On the first day, Wang Rui brought Tian Minze to the competition venue. Shao Liwei was talking to the person in charge of the Japanese Chess Academy when he saw Tian Minze walking over, smiling and waving.

"Toshinori, this is Morishita Shigeo 9th Dan, one of the most popular professional chess players in Japan. I didn't expect you to lead the team this time," Shao Liwei introduced.

Morishita Shigeo waved his hand and said to Shao Liwei with a smile, "Shao Jun, we in Japan have always been last in several rookie king competitions. This time our Yoshitaka Watsuya is the real ace in our chess academy, and he is also mine. Disciple, that’s why I’m here to lead the expedition.”

Both of them spoke in Japanese, but Tian Min shook his head and didn't understand at all.

"This Japanese boss said that your opponent is his disciple and also the ace chess player of the Japanese Chess Academy." Wang Rui came up from behind and helped Tian Minze to explain.

Tian Min looked at Wang Rui in surprise, "Brother Rui, do you know Japanese?"

Wang Rui smiled and said, "When I entered the industry, I was still a young man. At that time, Japanese Go was overwhelming. We all went to the Japanese Go community to learn from it. Learning some Japanese was a compulsory course. Otherwise, why do you think Shao Liwei's 9th Dan is so good at Japanese? ."

Tian Min nodded. Now that the Korean wave is rising, Yu Liang and Fang Xu can speak a little Korean, which makes it easier to communicate with foreign chess players.

There were not many reporters in the game today. After all, Chinese and Japanese chess players were playing against each other at the Korean home court. Korean reporters were not very interested. There were more Japanese reporters and only two or three Chinese reporters.

Before the game, Tian Minze stretched out his hand first and shook hands with both parties. He didn't like bowing with his opponent, which felt a bit strange.

Tian Minze glanced around and found that next to him was the notator sent by the Korean Chess Academy, a very cute little beauty, who smiled at him.

Tian Min nodded, took a sip of milk tea, and devoted all his energy to the chessboard.

"The system prompts that the opponent's chess strength is 88 points, which is unmatched! 15 points will be awarded for winning."

The opponent's chess skills were not very high, and Tian Minze was relatively relaxed at first. However, after about 80 moves, Tian Minze signaled for the first time that he needed to go to the bathroom.

Walking alone in the corridor of the Korean Chess Academy, Tian Min took a deep breath and calmed down.

No wonder the opponent's chess power of 88 points was able to sweep away the younger generation of Japan and win the Rookie King, because the opponent's chess style is a entanglement attack type. Tian Minze took the lead several times, and the opponent did not respond at all. He continued to fight with Tian Minze in the corner. , On the contrary, Tian Minze's black chess was forced into a situation of taking the ground, giving up the external power that he was good at.

If Nie Xuanfeng had been there, he would have said, "You've played your chess very carefully."

Tian Minze also discovered this problem, but he had no choice. In this game, his opponent Zhibai was desperately attacking. Tian Minze took the lead twice but gave up the lead. The opponent was also very sharp in the transition.

After standing in the corridor for two seconds, a soft female voice sounded, "Tian Chudan, do you want to go back to the field now?"

Tian Minze looked up and found that it was the notator just now, and asked in surprise, "Do you know Chinese?"

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "I am Yu Lijun from the Taipei Chess Academy. I came to Korea to study as an academy student and stayed at Chongyan Dojo."

Tian Min said with a smile, "Now the Chinese chess academy is the stronger one. There is no future in the Korean chess academy. It is better to come to the motherland to further study chess."

Yu Lijun didn't say much and pointed at the chessboard, "Does Tian Chudan want to return to the competition?"

"Of course," Tian Min said confidently, "Don't think I'm at a disadvantage. Let me show you how I beat my opponent."

Back on the field, in the 81st move, Black began to simplify the situation and played a block, eliminating part of White's threat. White then pulled back, and Tian Min directly removed the edge.

White once again made a move in the lower right corner to test Black's skills.

Tian Min showed a tough move. Black played on the outside to directly force the opponent, and then attacked and forced the opponent to rob.

Now Gu Yigao and Gu Yigao were caught in a long test.

Tian Min picked up the milk tea and took a sip. After a while, the aftertaste that he had just retained became the material of the robbery. Why should my opponent fight this robbery with me?

Naturally, Yoshigao Wakani also knew that he could not forcefully open the tribulation, but could only look for big changes on the chessboard.

This time it was Tian Minze's turn to take the lead.

"These moves are so beautiful," Shao Liwei said excitedly. "Tian Minze's attacks are erratic, very much like his teacher Nie Lao's youthful style."

The strength of the middle game is Tian Minze's strength, and Black firmly holds the advantage on the board.

At the 154th move, Yoshiko Watsuya, who had endured the whole game, finally launched his strongest counterattack, using a digging move to forcefully connect with the thick momentum on his side, and at the same time, roll away to collect black. The trend in the upper left corner of chess.

The situation has changed again.

Black's sticky move just made made up for his breaking point in advance, so it is still not easy for White to attack.

Tian Minze hesitated for a while. Although the black piece was not bad locally, it still had a weak taste. Sandwiched between the white piece defending the corner and the strong side, the risk of continuing to invest was not small.

This is a chess game that cannot be lost. I have no choice but to activate an AI guidance. For a chess game with only 15 points, every AI guidance is very expensive.

This time AI directly made a move in the lower right corner, ending the game early to seize the official position.

Stop investing in the upper left corner, and instead enter the Guanzi decisive battle. After all, many positions on the chessboard have not yet been finalized. Black still has the board advantage and cannot continue to invest locally.

After Tian Min changed his mind, he continued to use stable official tactics, always firmly guarding his advantage.

"Without any danger, Tian Min won the first battle and competed with Korean chess player Lim Il-hwan for the title of the strongest newcomer." Wang Rui couldn't wait to send the report back to China.
