Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 12 12. The Chinese Chess World Cannot Do Without You
The final awarding stage was not very grand, probably because the leaders were also in a hurry to go home.

After the group photo for the award ceremony, the Go competition is over.

Just as Ying Jie and the others came out of the gymnasium, a figure was waiting at the door early.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Ying Jie seemed to have expected it a long time ago: "You guys go back first, I have something to talk to this senior.

Xiao Lu, wait for me next to me, and I will send you back later. "

Lu Jingjing glanced at the person who came. He was an old man in his 50s wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He was not threatening and safe.

"Then I'll wait for you by the side."

"The two of us will go back first."

"kindness."

Ying Jie smiled and nodded.

After they left, Ying Jie nodded slightly to the old man, "Old Qi."

"Do you remember me?"

Qi Zhenxi was a little surprised when he heard Ying Jie saying hello, thinking that the other party had forgotten about him.

"I forgot at first, but when I saw that you thought about the words of Wan Fang Chuduan today, I suddenly remembered.

You should be a professional chess player too. "

That's right, I felt that the opponent's strength was not too strong at the time, but after the peak period, the chess strength declined with age. It is not surprising that a professional chess player still has such chess strength in his 50s.

"Last time you left in such a hurry that I haven't had time to introduce myself.

Qi Zhenxi, a fifth-dan professional, is currently working as a teacher in Fangyuan Dojo in the imperial capital. "

Upon hearing this, Ying Jie just nodded slightly.

The fifth-dan professional chess player at this age still has a lot of gold content, after all, it was very difficult to advance to the first rank.

Looking at Ying Jie who didn't respond at all, Qi Zhenxi became a little anxious: "I watched your chess game today.

It is completely different from the chess I played that day. The chess you played with me that day completed the challenge of chess theory, which is completely incomprehensible. Today's chess seems to be understandable every step of the way. It seems to be easy to grasp the whole board, but it is still puzzling. untie.

But no matter what the style is, the same thing is that this kind of chess should appear in the professional arena, even in the world competition.

You shouldn't waste time on this kind of competition. For you now, every minute, every moment, every second is golden time, a rising period!

With your strength, you can definitely enter the professional chess world - that is the world where you can flex your muscles.

As long as you are willing, I can guarantee you that the Imperial Capital Fangyuan Dojo will be admitted directly without the entrance examination. "

"Sorry, although I do have the idea of ​​participating in the scheduled competition next year, I don't plan to go to the dojo."

After today's game, the local Go Association directly told me that it would apply for a five-year certificate for itself, which has reached the rigid standard for participating in the fixed-stage competition.

Hearing this, Qi Zhenxi immediately became anxious: "I know that your chess skills are very high, and you have even reached the professional level.

But there are various factors in the professional stage competition. There is still nearly half a year before the next year's stage competition. If you don't play chess in this half year, how much will your level drop?

You can have today's level, you should also know that the progress of chess is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Why don't you join the dojo, where you can get the best resources, and you can compete with chess players of the same age across the country, each of them is your touchstone, a step up. "

The other party doesn't know that he has love to train, and it's normal to have this kind of worry.

It's just that even if there is an AI, it is difficult to replace a human, especially a person of the same strength to play chess.

Ying Jie looked at Qi Zhenxi who was asking questions, and said straightforwardly: "My family has no money."

And that's exactly what happened.

Ying Jie also had the idea of ​​going to the dojo to study after time travelling, but the current family conditions do not allow it.

The famous places in China where you can learn chess without exception are either in the imperial capital or in the big cities of Hangzhou and Shanghai. Students from other places can only go there alone to learn chess.

Even many children who learn chess have to be accompanied by their parents because they are too young. There is a situation where one person is accompanying and the other is working at home to make money.

However, setting a stage in Go is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even the Cupping King, who was known as a natural leader in Go in his previous life, succeeded in setting a stage twice, and narrowly missed the second time as the last one.

Lian Xiao, who has numerous domestic champions, has set [-] dans four times, and a professional rider known as a professional goalkeeper has set dans eight times.

And it's not just failures one after another. With the high tuition fees in the dojo, the high consumption in big cities, and accompanying parents to study, it is difficult for ordinary families to afford their children's path to become a professional chess player.

Maybe somewhere in Dashan there will be a child who is a natural chess master, but he will never embark on a professional path, or even the possibility of touching Go.

This is also the reason why so many excellent chess players emerged in China during the economic upswing period. The prosperity of any industry is based on a stable, prosperous and wealthy country.

……

Hearing this, Qi Zhenxi was stunned for a moment.

Well, that's a really strong reason.

Also very realistic.

But Qi Zhenxi didn't hesitate at all: "These are not problems! As long as you are willing to enter the dojo, on behalf of Fangyuan Dojo, I would like to say that your tuition and accommodation fees are all free.

Your talent is higher than anyone I've ever seen, whether it's the current four major title holders, or Lu Li's ninth-dan, or even Gao Yongxia, they are far less talented than you!

You were born to play chess!
The Go world of the new generation in China can lose anyone, but you must not be missing! "

Ying Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect the other party to have such high expectations for him.

Also, Ai, which represents the future of Go, can understand how shocking it is.

Looking at the serious eyes of the other party, Ying Jie nodded: "I will go back and discuss it with my parents. They may not agree, but I will try my best to convince him."

"Don't worry, I will also help convince your parents.

By the way, that, is it convenient to leave your phone number? "

Qi Zhenxi said with some embarrassment, last time he let the other party slip away, this time he absolutely must leave his contact information, otherwise it will be embarrassing if he can't find him again.

"Oh, I don't have a mobile phone, my landline number is 50***39."

"OK, don't worry, even if you can't convince me, I will try to convince your parents."

After getting the phone number, Qi Zhenxi nodded contentedly, and immediately signed up for a ticket.

Relying on this old face, I go out and roll around, find a leader to accompany me to do work, and I also want to send this genius to my dojo in a safe and secure way.

When he enters the professional world in the future, he will have one more bragging rights.

After seeing the number, Qi Zhenxi smirked instead, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, it's getting dark.

I'll go back first, otherwise the family should be worried. "

There is no way, now that I am only 14 years old, if I go back at this point, I will probably be scolded.

"Okay, you go back first."

Qi Zhenxi waved his hands and watched Ying Jie go away, then turned around contentedly and prepared to go back.

But after turning around, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Honghe Ninth Section?"
