Chapter 197: Pre-Match Prediction

After a good night's rest, Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu's spirits were obviously much better.Compared with the weather in Jiangnan Province, Jeju Island is obviously much colder and more humid, but fortunately Ma Mingyu also carried out regular exercise under the supervision of Sun Ping, and his current physical condition is completely fine for this weather.Because today is the media day for the newcomer Wang Zhan of Go of the Three Kingdoms, the Aurora Chess Academy specially notified the participating Aurora Go players to put on formal attire, so as not to damage the image of the country.After all, most of the chess players are senior nerds, and they spend their lives in sports pants and T-shirts all year round. Naturally, such a combination cannot appear in the media.

Sun Ping chose a Dolce & Gabbana casual suit. This kind of Italian-style suit with a strong Sicilian style allows Sun Ping to show the uninhibited prodigal side.And Ma Mingyu's dress is British college style, because Ma Mingyu's physical condition is not so ideal, so Ma Mingyu chose a lemon-colored solid-color sweater vest, lined with a blue and white large plaid shirt, and pure black trousers Improved suit pants.It has to be said that Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu's outfits have won the love of many media, and their looks are also quite high, so they murdered many reporters' films when they entered the venue.Of course, Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu would only be reported by the reporters as the highlights of the event, and they were not the real main course.

You know, according to the comments of the Korean Go Channel and the Korean professional Go magazine "Korean Go", the core players of the Three Kingdoms are not as good as Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu.

"Korean Go" pointed out that Park Jinhae and Kim Woo Hyuk should be the newcomer king competitors of the Korean Chess Academy.Needless to say, Park Jin-hae is the closed disciple of Choi Eun-ming, a generation of Korean chess master, and the junior of Lee Jung-ho, the current No.1 Go player in Korea.And Kim Woo Hyuk is definitely not an unknown figure in the Go world, just like Honinbo, the first Go family in Japan, and the Kim family where Kim Woo Hyuk is the first family of Go in Korea.Although the Jin family did not have such eye-catching figures as Cui Enming and Li Zhenghao, the children of the Jin family and collateral clans monopolized half of the number of Go players above the sixth rank in the Korean Go world.

As "Korean Go" reported, Kim Woo Hyuk was born to play Go.Especially in last year's Young Lions match in South Korea, Kim Woo-hyuk lost only half an eye to Lee Jung-ho, which shocked the entire Korean chess world.Although Li Zhenghao's agent said that Li Zhenghao did not go all out in the game at that time, but Kim Woo Hyuk's name is still well-known in the Korean Go world.

In addition to the twins in the Korean Go world, Masaichi Kobayashi of the Japanese Kiin was also specially reported by "Korean Go", and also pointed out that "he will be the biggest obstacle for Korean players to win the championship."Although Masaichi Kobayashi is not well-known in the international chess world, he is well-known in Japan.

The division of the Japanese Go world on this plane is not so obvious. You must know that the reason why the Japanese Go world on the Earth plane is at the bottom of the three East Asian countries, and sometimes even players from other countries can’t handle it. The big problem lies in Japan. The division of the Chess Academy.For example, South Korea only has the Korean Chess Academy, and China only has the Chinese Chess Academy, but Japan has Kansai Chess Academy besides the Japanese Kiss Academy.In terms of strength, the Kansai Chess Institute and the Japanese Kiss Academy are on par, but the two chess institutes don't like each other, and the things that tear things apart are one after another.Due to this kind of vicious competition between the two major chess institutes, the student system and the big hand cooperation system that the Japanese chess academy is most proud of have not been fully implemented, which has caused the Japanese Go world to gradually lag behind the entire international Go world.

However, ten years ago, the Nippon Chess Academy on the original plane changed its decline under the strong entry of the Kobayashi family.Not only did the Kansai Kiin have to stay in Osaka, but they also established the central headquarters of Nihon Kiin and the Kansai headquarters in Nagoya and Osaka respectively.According to the information Sun Ping saw, Kansai Chess Academy has the intention to merge with the Kansai Headquarters of Nippon Chess Academy.

After ten years of operation, although the performance of Go Academy in Japan has not improved significantly, the professionalization of Go in Japan is the best in the world. Sponsors, in particular, flock to it.For example, the so-called seven major news battles are the seven title battles run by Nippon Kiin (Ki Ji War, Celebrity War, Honinbo Battle, Ten-Dan Battle, Throne Battle, Tengen War, and Goji War) which are sponsored by the seven major media groups in Japan. .The Japanese Chess Institute not only earned a sponsorship fee, but also received a lot of publicity from the Japanese media circles. It can be said that it has earned all its face.The NEC Cup Japan Go Tournament, known as the highest tournament in Japan, is one of the top Go tournaments in the world. Without him, the championship bonus is as high as 500 million US dollars, ranking first in the world.Naturally, this event is sponsored by NEC Corporation, the top chaebol in Japan, so Nihon Kiin only needs to contribute.

Having said so much, all of this happened under the leadership of the Kobayashi family, and Kobayashi Masaichi is naturally a direct descendant of the Kobayashi family.It is interesting to say that the Xiaolin family manages go well, but the chess skills of the children in the family are in a mess.The vast majority of disciples did not enter the Duan, and a small number of disciples entered the Duan and stopped at the third Duan.On the contrary, Kobayashi Masaichi was hailed by the Japanese Go community as a rising star in Japan who is expected to unify Japan's seven major titles within five years, and Park Jinhae's status in South Korea is similar.

In addition to these three players, the last player named by "Korean Go" is Tian Wei from Zhendan Chess Academy.Sun Ping actually knew Tian Wei, after all, he was the most famous among the newcomers in the Zhendan chess world.At the age of only 20, he is the champion of the men's individual group of the Aurora College Go Championship for three consecutive times, and also the champion of the Wells Fargo Cup, one of the four major cup competitions in China.

Although "Korean Go" focused on commenting on these four players, other contestants also commented, and also gave the final ranking prediction.Sun Ping looked at himself and Ma Mingyu. "Korean Go" commented on Ma Mingyu as a leader of the latest generation in the Aurora chess world. Under the open and close style of chess, there are hidden tricks, but it is a pity that he lacks experience.

"Korean Go" believes that Ma Mingyu can break through the first round as a victory.The comment on Sun Ping is even more harsh. It believes that Sun Ping won by relying entirely on his strange style of chess.Therefore, "Korean Go" believes that Sun Ping may not even be able to break through the first round, and believes that Sun Ping's chess strength is actually the bottom of all players.

"Ms. Sun, they don't think highly of you." Ma Mingyu was also watching "Korean Go".

In order to expand its influence, this issue of "The Newcomer King's War Special Issue" is a multilingual version, so Ma Mingyu is holding the Chinese version of "Korean Go" to learn about the information of his opponents.

"'Big opening and closing'?" Ma Mingyu thought for a long time, "My chess style is not so grand, isn't it? Teacher, you also said that my chess style is too delicate and the overall situation is not enough. Here you say that I am 'opening and closing' Woolen cloth?"

"I guess they only watched a few games of yours?" Sun Ping certainly didn't believe that "Korean Go" could get all the information of Aurora Chess Academy.

There is competition between countries, and some open competitions have no choice but to be open.As for domestic promotion competitions and internal competitions, the video materials of Zhendan Chess Academy are never disclosed to foreign media.Moreover, the private chess games between chess players are even more strictly confidential, and even the chess academy they belong to may not know everything.Therefore, the analysis of many magazines is mostly based on public events, so the more famous players are, the harder it is to keep them secret.On the contrary, players like Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu are easy to keep secret. You must know that Sun Ping only participates in the promotion competition, and Ma Mingyu only participates in the youth competition.Although youth competitions are important, there are not many media reports, so it is naturally more difficult for overseas organizations to collect information.

Sun Ping knew that his disciple already had the reputation of "little fox", and the reason was that Ma Mingyu's chess style was too cunning.Although he is learning Sun Ping's three fixed styles, he himself is also learning the mainstream Korean chess style in his spare time.Many people in the Aurora Chess Academy listed Ma Mingyu as a representative of "domestic Korean chess players", but Ma Mingyu was learning the Korean style of chess and at the same time mixed the mainstream chess style of the Aurora Kingdom.Therefore, Ma Mingyu's chess style does not look as aggressive as the Koreans on the surface, but it is only when he actually plays the game that he knows that Ma Mingyu's chess style is hidden in the dark.Moreover, many chess players praised Ma Mingyu as a typical player who made decisions before moving, and his cloth rarely had waste pieces.Even though it seems to be an idle piece now, it can often play a great role in the middle or the end of the game.Therefore, Sun Ping affirmed that the intelligence collection work of "Korean Go" was not done thoroughly, so it would definitely mislead many people.

On the media day, the organizer specially held a lottery ceremony.Sun Ping's first-round player was a Japanese player named Ryo Nishikido, who had just entered the dan, and was the same player as Sun Ping.But Ma Mingyu's lottery form was very unlucky, he met Kim Woo Hyuk in the first round, and Kobayashi Masaichi in the second round.If Ma Mingyu can make it to the semi-finals, the semi-finalist will meet Park Zhenhai again.Seeing such a dangerous battle situation, the team leader of Zhendan Chess Academy just said to Ma Mingyu, "Just work hard!"

"I should have known that I should give you a pair of red underwear." In order to comfort his disciple, Sun Ping took Ma Mingyu to a well-known local barbecue restaurant in Jeju after the lottery.Sun Ping sighed while roasting the black pork.

"Teacher, do you think red underwear is useful?" Ma Mingyu asked back, "Isn't it Jin Youhyuk? Just play with him. Before I do it, everyone thinks that I can't do it. It's really meaningless."

"Then there is no way, who made you and me belong to grassroots wild chess players with no family or sect?" Sun Ping sighed.

Go is very particular about inheritance, either you come from a family of Go, or you worship under a certain master, otherwise it will be difficult for the Go world to look up to you.There was a player named Wang Yuanping in Zhendan Kingdom 20 years ago. Although he finally unified the domestic title and monopolized it for five years, all kinds of Go books mentioned him in a disdainful tone.The reason is very simple, he is not from a family of Go, nor is he a disciple of a certain Go player, so his success is considered crooked by many Go players.

Sun Ping can only lament about this, but he also feels that he is quite powerless to change.After all, the prejudice of aristocratic families is not only a problem in the Aurora Go world, but also in Japan and South Korea.So after Sun Ping sighed a few words, he stopped talking about this topic.

After coming out of the barbecue restaurant, Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu returned to the hotel.After Sun Ping played a game of chess with Ma Mingyu, the two went to rest separately.Sun Ping still chose aerobic exercise and essential oil spa, and then went to bed early.It must be known that each game is a best-of-three game system, which requires high physical and mental strength of the players, and Sun Ping does not want to lose for some unnecessary reasons.At the same time, the competition arrangements for the High School Affiliated to Jeju University have basically been completed.
