There is still one month before the China-Korea Amateur Go Tournament, and the news has been continuous.

This competition is one of the most authoritative competitions in amateur competitions, and it is also the competition with the largest number of participants. Many media will pay attention to it.

Especially after Li Zhen's [-]th consecutive championship and defeating Japan's [-]th Dan to win the world championship, the Chinese chess world has been lonely for a full decade.

These ten years have been a break, and there are no more chess players who can show their talents. Perhaps it is because Li Zhen is too brilliant, and anyone will be inferior to him.

In these ten years, Korean chess player Park Ho-jin suddenly became famous. The 40-year-old Park Ho-jin won nine consecutive world-class games and became the second Li Zhen.

Some people say that Li Zhen's chess style is fierce and sharp, cutting through obstacles like a sharp knife, while Park Hojin's chess style is weird but full of gentlemanly demeanor. He never takes the initiative to attack others, but seizes the opponent's weaknesses at critical moments and defeats them in one fell swoop.

Those who have played chess with him feel that Park Hojin's chess style is terrifying, and his own weaknesses are as transparent as they are in front of him. This is undoubtedly the most terrifying.

Park Hojin is in his 40s. In the Go world, he was established at the age of 30. At the age of 40, he was at his peak. Park Hojin accepted an apprentice. It is very common for masters in the chess world to accept apprentices, but the apprentices he accepted have already There are 25 years old, but not a professional chess player.

To put it more clearly, this apprentice doesn't even have an amateur rank, so in this competition, Park Hojin [-]th Dan deliberately brought his apprentice to Nanjing, preparing to win this wild card and then participate in the Rookie King competition.

Park Ho Jin's apprentice, and he is not a professional chess player. This is a very interesting news. The major newspapers rushed to report it. Even before the game started, everyone knew that the result of this game might have been decided. He is still a Korean, named Park Hengxuan.

The chess record of Park Hengxuan was published in the newspaper, and Li Yizhi saw it by accident. He had heard of the name Park Hengxuan, and he was also a very good chess player in his previous life. When I uploaded the chess record, I felt a "click" in my heart.

He can't remember this style of chess very clearly, because he lost to this person, so his memory is very deep. It was the "carrot" he found himself playing chess on the Internet that day.

His style is very distinct, his calculations are extremely precise, and his moves are very thick. Just like the analysis of various chess players, Park Hengxuan has completely inherited the chess style of his master Park Hojin. He seems to be able to see through every weakness of yours.

This is very scary.

Apart from eating, Li Yizhi seldom went out to play in the past few days. He always played chess in the hotel, or spent time on the Internet looking through chess records and finding someone to play against.

Ye Li would ask him to feed him chess every day, and he would often play two games when he was interested. The two of them had a hard time playing chess, and they usually played for four or five hours.

The little apprentice has never been online, and it seems that he is very busy.

I have to say that when Li Yizhi read the message that day, he was indeed lost for a long time. He tossed and turned all night, nervous about meeting his apprentice, and couldn't help but think about Chen Jing and some small things with Chen Jing. As a result, the first I thought for nothing for two days.

Li Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt lost, such feelings are really complicated.

Li Yi went online, but the little apprentice is still not there. Recently, the online time has been stuck on the day when he was on a business trip. The coal balls in his friends are not there. Ye Yangyang’s name is on. Points!"

Li Yizhi poked Carrot's avatar. The avatar was gray and offline. The last time he was online was the same as the last time he played against himself.

He was a little puzzled, could it be that this Pu Hengxuan registered his vest just to find out his own style of chess, maybe he has changed to another vest.

Li Yizhi thought about it, but he didn't feel that he was more famous. If someone came over to find out his chess style in his previous life, it made sense. After all, he was also a world-class figure in his previous life, but he is still a white man. He doesn't even have a reputation in the Go world, so what is there for him to explore.

The most likely thing is that he is the apprentice of the chess king Li Zhen, so Park Hengxuan feels that he is a strong opponent... but he is a nominal apprentice, and Li Zhen's character is not suitable for accepting apprentices. Jia didn’t stay, and then happily chatted with the neighbors, and sometimes I would tell Li Yizhi a review when I remembered it, and I couldn’t remember it if I couldn’t remember it...

Li Yizhi was staring at the computer in a daze. He seemed to have heard the news about Park Hengxuan in his previous generation. He was indeed an amateur, because Li Yizhi didn't pay attention to these things, and he didn't know how Park Hengxuan became a professional after that. Thinking about it now, could it be because Park Hengxuan got a wild card in this match?

Thinking of this, Li Yizhi panicked even more. He closed his eyes. If he couldn't get the wild card, he would have to wait for the next round. Although there was no age limit for the competition, he couldn't wait any longer. After three years, Li Yizhi and Chen Jing's head-to-head confrontation, if he waits for the next round, he will miss this duel.

Li Yizhi didn't know why he was obsessed with fighting Chen Jing once, maybe it was because he lost this duel in his previous life, so he was not reconciled, since he had a chance to win back, he had to work hard to win.

He was in a daze when the name of the carrot or on the screen suddenly lit up.

Li Yizhi stared at this ID, thinking about whether to challenge another game, but the other party took the initiative to find Li Yizhi.

Carrot invites Peichen to join the chess game.

Li Yizhi paused for a few seconds, and immediately pressed OK.

The two entered the room, the carrot was still black, and Li Yizhi was white. The chess game started very peacefully, because Li Yizhi didn't have any loopholes for the opponent to handle at the beginning.

When playing against someone like Park Hengxuan, the stronger you are, the weaker you are. If you have many weaknesses, then Park Hengxuan can seize these weaknesses and attack fiercely. If a chess player has no loopholes for him to discover, then he will not be so terrible. .

But this is just talking, no matter how beautiful the game is, it is impossible for the two sides to guarantee that they will not make mistakes.

Li Yi is very careful, but because of the heavy psychological pressure, the more careful he is, the more hesitant he becomes.

Although there is no timer set, and there is no regulation on how long one hand can last, but there is a time display next to it, and no one will have a record of how long one hand has been used, which makes Li Yizhi even more stressed.

Li Yizhi has been playing Go for several months. Although he no longer knows how to play Go with his hands, there are still many things that he has not picked up. Complete.

Gradually, many people came in the room, among them was the name of Ye Yangyang.

Ye Li watched for a while, seeing that the opponent was a trumpet at first, he thought Li Yizhi was really boring, and started to abuse the trumpet, but it turned out not to be the case.

Ye Li also reads the newspaper, and he and Park Haojin have already played against each other, so he knows the opponent's chess style very well. Although the chess moves of this vest don't look so old-fashioned, but the style is exactly the same, so I have to think, this may be He is Park Ho Jin's apprentice.

He finally understood why Park Ho Jin wanted to accept such an apprentice who was not even an amateur player. He could bring Park Ho Jin's style to the extreme. Which master would not want to pass on his essence, even if he is not a professional chess player.

As the game got longer and the number of people in the room increased, someone posted a post on the forum to rebroadcast it. Because Peichen's reputation has grown recently and more people followed him, the post quickly turned the page.

Li Yizhi held the mouse tightly, as soon as he made a mistake, the vest called Carrot would immediately launch an offensive. This made Li Yizhi tremble a little, panicked, and his next move would be even more uncertain. Head, so it is a vicious circle.

Li Yizhi tried his best to make up for his mistakes. Although he played very well later, he still lost.

At the same time as the two finished the game, the forum suddenly became lively. Someone broke the news in the post that the game between Pei Chen and Park Hengxuan was the ultimate second-generation chess match.

The first generation is naturally Li Zhen and Park Haojin who caused great disturbances, and the second generation is their apprentices.

Someone picked up the vests of Peichen and Luoluo, saying that they are the apprentices of Li Zhen and Park Haojin. Someone also took a screenshot of the chess game between Luoluo and Li Yizhi before, and posted it in the post.

Then he said that the chess world was about to become Pu's world, and that Luobo had tortured Peichen terribly.

Ye Li read the post, and angrily tapped the keyboard. He didn't know who was so immoral, even his daily life was taken away, and some people even posted photos. The photos of Li Yizhi and Park Hengxuan were all posted on the forum.

"Peichen" and "carrot" are displayed on other popular searches next to the search bar.

Ye Li was so angry that he wanted to comfort Li Yizhi and let him relax. Losing chess is no big deal, even if he loses at the [-]th dan, this is a very common thing. There will be a head-on conflict, and I feel worried, let alone comfort others.

Li Yizhi turned off his laptop very early that day, took a shower, and lay down on the bed to rest. He didn't want to read the chess records, and his eyes were sore from looking at the computer.

Li Yizhi lay on the bed and took a deep breath. He felt that it wasn't because he didn't know enough about Go, or because he didn't have a strong sense of life and death, but because of his mentality.

He regards this game as very important, and he has always hinted in his heart that he cannot lose, and the pressure will naturally increase as he does so. The sudden appearance of Park Hengxuan undoubtedly stimulated the tight string in his heart, and the string was overwhelmed. It will be broken, it's only natural.

Li Yizhi also wants to adjust his mentality, but this does not mean that adjustment can be adjusted.

The competition was down, and there were only a few days to prepare for the battle. Li Yizhi lost to Park Hengxuan twice in a row, and he suffered from insomnia that night.

The next day Li Yizhi got up early to take a shower, not because he didn't like lazy beds, but because he didn't fall asleep all night, his mind was messed up, and he felt dizzy when he woke up in the morning, his whole body lacked energy.

Li Yizhi turned on the computer, and to his surprise, there was a message in the system, which belonged to the little apprentice.

0 Tianyuan 0: I read the forum, Master, you are no worse than him, the important thing is not to be too nervous Tianyuan Dandan's avatar is lit up, the online time is after [-]:[-] in the middle of the night, and it is still there at [-]:[-].

Pei Chen: Are you still there?didn't you sleep

0 Tianyuan 0: I am waiting for you

Peichen: oh

Pei Chen: Good morning

0 Tianyuan 0: Master

Pei Chen: Huh?

0 Tianyuan 0: Did you not sleep well last night?

Peichen: ...

Pei Chen: How do you know?

0 Tianyuan 0: Guess

0 Tianyuan 0: Because you lost chess, I think you must not sleep well

Pei Chen: A little bit, I feel quite sleepy now

0 Tianyuan 0: I can’t sleep well when I lose chess

0 Tianyuan 0: The tutoring at home is very strict, and the children are never allowed to lose to anyone. They have to play chess while working, so they inevitably lost a few games. I couldn’t sleep in those days, and the more I thought about it, the more I lost. I almost approached a dead end Not typing, just staring at the screen, the little apprentice was talking about his own state of mind, he was like a cat that kept blowing fur, turning back and forth in a dead end, getting more and more anxious, unable to find an exit.

0 Tianyuan 0: Master, let me take a few days off. What you have to do now is to rest well and recharge your batteries. It’s been a long time since Li Yizhi, the little apprentice never said such a long paragraph, all because he wanted to comfort himself, No matter how stupid he is, he can tell, Li Yizhi sighed.

Pei Chen: Thank you

0 Tianyuan 0: I am busy with work here, and I will not be online these days

0 Tianyuan 0: Try to finish work as soon as possible, so that I can go back to Nanjing to watch the game

Peichen: ok

Peichen: Download if you don’t have time, I think you’ll be online after three o’clock, if you have time, go and sleep for a while 0 Tianyuan 0: Yes

0 Tianyuan 0: Master’s first game, I will definitely go back and watch it

After Tianyuan Dandan finished typing this sentence, she immediately went offline.

Li Yizhi didn't find it strange at all. In fact, he forgot that he hadn't talked about the match with his young apprentice at all, so he didn't think about how the other party knew that he was the first match.

Li Yizhi watched the little apprentice get off the assembly line, stretched himself, climbed into bed and went back to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already past twelve noon, and Ye Li knocked on the door halfway, but Li Yizhi didn't hear it, and turned off the phone when he asked for it. Ye Li was so anxious that he thought something happened to Li Yizhi inside, so he rushed to the front desk to find a spare key , frightened the little girl at the front desk, after all, this is Mo Chongyuan Mo's guest, so she can't neglect her.

The result was that the front desk led Ye Li to open the door, but the people inside were sleeping. Ye Li was so angry that he wanted to pick up Li Yizhi and shake him vigorously, but he didn't make a sound, and closed the door lightly, letting him continue to sleep.

When Li Yizhi woke up, he still didn't know anything.

Li Yizhi and Ye Li had lunch, and they went to the Go room to play a game of chess. The sun at noon was very good, and Ye Li asked the front desk to bring a pot of Yuhua tea. They played chess while drinking tea, not to mention how comfortable it was.

The time for this round was not short, it was already dusk after the work was over, Ye Li was killed by him and his armor was disarmed, but he didn't see him all night, Ye Li didn't expect Li Yizhi to be in such good condition.

In Ye Li's words, it's bloody...

The competition is approaching, almost all the chess players from all over the world have arrived, and most of them live in the same hotel as them, so meeting Park Hengxuan is also expected.

Park Hengxuan's appearance is not very recognizable, he can't be recognized at a glance in a crowd of people, he is considered a popular face, but he has a very elegant feeling.

When they met, they greeted Li Yizhi and Ye Li friendly, and said to Li Yizhi, "I'm looking forward to playing chess with Mr. Li."

After that, I didn't say much, and got on the elevator. They didn't live on the same floor.

The sponsor was supposed to be Mo Chongyuan, but because of the cooperation problem in Shanghai, Mo Chongyuan couldn't get away either. Chen Songrui, the deputy director of the Chen Group, rushed over from Hong Kong.

Chen Songrui is also a man of influence in front of the media. With his big gimmick, the game is even more grand. The newspaper also followed suit and reported the post on the Internet Go. The wild card for the matchup has been decided by Park Hengxuan.

But there are also many people who hold different attitudes. Li Yizhi's chess style is steady and sharp, but there are a few "low-level" mistakes. If these "low-level" mistakes can be avoided, it will be no problem to win Park Hengxuan.

This kind of thing that hasn't happened is the focus of the hype, and the less unified everyone's opinions, the better.

In order for his apprentice to compete, South Korean Chess King Park Ho-jin also came to Nanjing, which inevitably became the headlines of major newspapers.

Park Kudan accepted the interview with great grace, and said that the opponent is very strong, and they will not underestimate the enemy.

The first few days of the competition were very easy. Li Yizhi easily defeated his opponent and passed the test. This preliminary level is like a warm-up, winning beautifully and decisively.

These games were broadcasted by the newspapers, and professional chess players were more optimistic about Li Yizhi. The previous mistakes on the Internet did not exist at all. Many people questioned that perhaps Li Yizhi and Park Hengxuan deliberately reserved their strength in the online fight.

Soon, two promising chess players reached the top four.

There was no suspense in the semifinals. In the end, it became a game between Li Yizhi and Park Hengxuan. They competed for a champion. The game adopted a five-game three-win system.

Chen Jing saw the broadcast of the game in Shanghai. Li Yizhi was in very good condition in the early stage, and he became more and more courageous as he fought.

Chen Jing settled the cooperation in Shanghai, and immediately booked a ticket to go back to Nanjing. However, due to the recent abundant rain, the plane was forced to be delayed several times. In the first two games between Li Yizhi and Park Hengxuan, Chen Jing still failed to catch up.

After Chen Jing got off the plane, she asked her assistant to take her luggage and send it to the company first, then drove to the hotel where the competition was held.

Because he is not a contestant, he is not allowed to enter the venue according to the regulations. The security system of well-known competitions is also very strict. Chen Jing knew that he couldn't get in. When he arrived at the hotel, he took the elevator to the top floor. The office on the top floor had a live broadcast of the venue.

When Chen Jing arrived, Chen Songrui was sitting leisurely on a large leather chair with his feet on the desk, drinking coffee while watching the live broadcast.

The screen of the live broadcast was very large, almost occupying one wall, and the camera happened to give Li Yizhi a close-up.

He lowered his head, frowned slightly, and fixed his eyes on the chessboard. His black and white pupils were very beautiful. It was this compelling demeanor that made Chen Jing unable to look away for a while.
