[Soul of Chess] What if

For the people who eat melons, the recent period can be said to be extremely nourishing, because every few days there will be a new play between Qiyuan and Sai, which can make their gossip souls full of addiction .

Everyone watching Qiyuan hurriedly used some lame reasons to remedy the image after Sai made a move, and couldn't help but wonder what big move Sai will make next.

The reason why it is expected that sai has another trick is because after sai announced that he would donate the game prize money to the website of the God of Go, everyone invariably followed the website's dynamics all the time.As a result, they were surprised to find that the website had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days: the page had become taller; no matter how many people were online, it would not be paralyzed; The translation has been sterilized; in addition to the discussion area, Go stories, news express and other columns have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain; an online game room that can accommodate multiple people at the same time quietly appeared on the homepage, and so on.

Things have developed to the present, if someone said that Sai had no contact with the website administrator before, it is estimated that even children would calmly reply to him with a crescent eye.

Everyone is convinced that Sai and the support club should have been planning some big action a long time ago, and what happened at the Chunlan Cup before was probably part of the plan.

After realizing this, the melon-eating crowd suddenly became excited, and everyone squatted in front of the screen excitedly, waiting for sai's next move.

Sure enough, Sai lived up to the eager expectations of netizens.

On the second day after the website was upgraded, a promotional poster about the "God of Chess Cup" appeared on the homepage, and there was a line of text scrolling below the poster, which read: Want to beat sai?Then join us!

Ok?

beat sai?

Seeing such a promotional slogan, many people clicked in under the trend of curiosity.After seeing the rules of the game clearly, it suddenly dawned on me.

This game is not the usual one-on-one mode, but sai alone against the world alliance composed of [-] people, and it is in the case of the first score, but the world alliance takes the black first.

The rules of the game are very simple, each player has one day of thinking time, so this game only plays one move every day.The most important thing is that every move of the World Alliance is voted by all chess fans, that is to say, every move of the World Alliance is the crystallization of the wisdom of thousands of chess fans.

The way to join the World Alliance is not complicated, no matter where you are, no matter how good you are, as long as you have an account on the God of Go website, you can participate in the action of defeating Sai through the website server.

In order to attract more people to participate, there are many prizes in the competition. The prizes include "Sai Overall Game", "Sai Famous Game Essence" VCD, handheld computer Go, chess board, etc. The person who can correctly guess the next move of sai and Anyone who guesses the next move of the Go alliance can participate in the lucky draw.

After seeing the contents of the announcement, the chess fans are not very calm: Of course it is impossible to defeat Sai with their own strength, but who can conclude that it is still impossible to defeat Sai with everyone united and brainstorming Woolen cloth?

What's more, there is even Sai's chess book and a disc explaining the game!I want to get a set no matter what!

Although the competition officially started a week later, that is, on July 7th, since the announcement of the competition was posted, in just one day, the homepage of the website has been hit more than 4 million times, and the number of registrations is on the rise.

Of course, as everyone expected, the Chess Institute is still in a state of ignorance about the "God of Chess Cup" that Sai is about to participate in, as well as the published chess books and CDs.

The onlookers faintly sensed that the entanglement between sai and the chess academy might be enough for them to spend three days and three nights chatting with melon seeds and small tea, so, apart from adding fuel to the flames and adding a little trouble to the chess academy, everyone was well-behaved Sitting on the pony saddle quietly waiting for the next development of the plot.

Those "little troubles" added by netizens are still quite offensive to the current chess academy.

After all, it wasn't long before the Teacher Xiuxing incident subsided, and the image of the Chess Academy hadn't been re-established yet.In this case, once there is a slight mistake, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, in order to maintain the public image that has been formed with great difficulty, the chess academy has really worked hard.

After the Ki-in was finally able to get out of the crisis temporarily, it occurred to me that a few weeks ago, many people seemed to have asked about the relationship between Sato Fujiwara and Sai.They wanted to find Fujimitsu to check, but they found that they couldn't find anyone to inquire.because--

Ah Guang has gone to Beijing.

Ok?

You asked Ah Guang why he went to Beijing?

Hmm...that's a bit of a long story.

In the anticipation of everyone, the "God of Chess Cup" finally kicked off.

As soon as the game started, chess fans had a heated discussion about the position of the first move. During the discussion, newcomers continued to join, and the scene was very lively.

However, Ah Guang, who played chess instead of Sai, did not sit in front of the computer to witness this scene.He drove to Mr. Wu's house in Yotsuya as usual like a normal person.

As usual, Mr. Wu did not play chess with him, nor did he talk too much, but directly arranged for him to compete with several young chess players who went to Osaka to participate in the semi-finals of the Fujitsu Cup three days ago.

Coincidentally, Ah Guang is now facing Zuo Wei's opponent in the semifinals.

The strength of those who can enter the semi-finals is quite remarkable, so of course it is impossible for Aguang to kill his opponent in seconds as easily as Zuowei.Not only that, but just to prevent himself from losing too badly, he can be said to have tried his best.So after the game ended, Ah Guang slumped his shoulders as if he had lost his strength.

God knows how much he wanted to lie down and have a good rest!If it wasn't for the thought of looking a little disrespectful, he would have done it a long time ago.

Feeling that his physical strength has recovered a little, Ah Guang quickly straightened up and sorted out the chessboard in front of him.

He was about to put the chess pieces back into the chess box, but he heard the person opposite seem to say something.Since he couldn't understand what the other party said, Ah Guang had no choice but to reply with an apologetic smile.

Fortunately, some of the people who came to participate in the research meeting came forward to relieve Ah Guang: "He said that when he was playing chess with you, for some reason, he saw the shadow of sai in your chess. Thinking of the rumors a while ago, so I want to ask you: Is sai your teacher?"

At the same time that person finished translating, Ah Guang suddenly felt a lot of attention focused on himself.

"Is sai my teacher?" Hikari repeated with blinking eyes, and then he replied seriously with a polite smile, "No, my teacher is Fujiwara Sakai."

After the day's study was over, Ah Guang was going to get up to say goodbye, but he didn't expect Mr. Wu to keep him for the first time.

"Jinto-kun, although it's a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask: Do you have a passport?" After everyone left, Mr. Wu asked.

Although he was a bit puzzled, Ah Guang answered the question honestly: "Yes, yes."

"So, do you want to study at the Chinese Chess Academy for a while?"

Ah Guang was surprised: "Go to the Chinese Chess Academy to study?"

"Yes." Mr. Wu affirmed, "I think, with your strength, you should not have to participate in the preliminaries of the professional chess player exam."

Aang nodded silently.

This month's ranking of college students came out two days ago.Although he asked for leave, fortunately his ranking did not drop, so his average ranking in the past three months is No.7, just within the top eight, so he can directly participate in the official competition one month later.And the training for college students will end soon.

"Before the start of the official competition, there is more than a month, and it is the summer vacation, which is very suitable for concentrating on chess skills. Considering this, when I went to Shanghai to supervise the Yingshi Cup a few months ago, I mentioned it to some old friends. Take a look at this."

"After all, the birthplace of Go is China. Although it has lagged behind for a long time due to various reasons, Chinese Go has become stronger day by day." Mr. Wu said gently and calmly, "After going there, I miss your vision. Perhaps it can become more open, and the chess strength may also be improved. Of course, I am only offering my own suggestions. Go or not, the decision is still yours."

After hearing Mr. Wu's words, Ah Guang felt a little astonished.

He knew about the Ying's Cup, but he just didn't expect that the other party would actually start arranging this matter for him a few months ago.

Since Ah Guang joined the research meeting, apart from arranging opponents, Mr. Wu has hardly talked with himself.Before, he had guessed what kind of attitude the other party had towards him, and after thinking about it for a long time but couldn't find the answer, he persuaded himself not to care about it.

Because no matter what the other party thinks of me, it is because of that person's arrangement that I can play against so many professional chess players with different styles of chess. Fujimitsu's Go.

Only now did I suddenly realize that the other party may have cared for me much more than I imagined.

Ah Guang opened his mouth, and then found weakly that he didn't know what to say other than thanking himself.

"...Thank you for taking so much trouble for me."

"No, in fact, I should be the one who wants to say thank you." Ah Guang raised his head suspiciously, and looked into a pair of eyes that knew everything but were full of understanding and tolerance, "Thank you for being so kind to me during the chess game. The thoughtfulness of an old man. If possible, I really hope that I can play a good game of chess with you when there is no accident."
