Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 190·The people above understand the effect of the program

The pregame group study time passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the start of the Nongshim Cup finals.

"Let's invite today's two guest commentators, Shi Yu, seventh-dan, and Lu Sizhu, third-dan."

On the Central Go Channel, the female host Xu Ying introduced it to the audience in front of the TV.

"Hello, chess fans, my name is Lu Sizhu, and I am very happy to be here with He Shi Yu to explain this game to you today."

Lu Sizhu lowered his head, looked at the small piece of paper on his desk, and read the lines according to it.

"Have you finished speaking?" Shi Yu asked.

Perhaps because it was her first time on TV, she acted very awkward, like a duck taking to the water for the first time, nodding stiffly.

"Hello all chess fans, my name is Shi Yu, and I am honored to explain this game of chess with Queen Lu Sizhu and Lu today." Shi Yu said calmly.

This was the first time Shi Yu used the title Deer Queen. Hearing this, Lu Sizhu's whole body trembled and his back subconsciously straightened.

So the training method of pressure chess came into being. It was by relying on pressure chess that Nie Lan broke through the bottleneck at the critical moment and defeated the three Japanese players in one fell swoop.

"Can you tell me that after your guidance, Gu Shengshan has achieved some success?" Xu Ying's eyes were bright.

But people always have their own understanding, not to mention Gu Shengshan, the number one player in the division who holds four crowns.

I have to admit that Gu Shengshan's learning effect is not ideal when it comes to learning chaotic flow.

"The higher-ups understand the effects of the program."

"Is that so?" Xu Ying's eyes dropped, not sure if Shi Yu was telling a joke.

Later, as time went by, the overall level of Chinese Go increased, and the intensity of group fights also decreased. When playing pressure chess, they mainly imitated the opponent's chess style, and no longer blindly pursued intensity.

He must have done it on purpose.

"Absolutely. I also hope that the chess players in front of the TV will learn my style carefully."

Pressure chess is also one-on-many, but instead of playing several games at the same time, several people on the opposite side play the same game.

"It's hard to say, I feel like he hasn't learned anything." Shi Yu carefully recalled his experiences these days.

Since then, pressure chess has become a reserved item of the Chinese Chess Academy. Whenever a chess player encounters an important foreign war, the other chess players will inevitably rush forward to give the young master the pleasure of being beaten like Lu Bu.

Ok.

"That's not the case. I'm not qualified to teach Senior Gu Shengshan yet. At best, I can tell him some of my ideas. Whether he will absorb it or not, he still needs to make his own judgment."

"This is the first time you two have worked together to explain. Have you had similar experiences before?" Xu Ying said as the host.

Although the appearance of these two people can bring huge topicality, a professional host is still needed to control the general direction, raise topics, and activate the atmosphere.

What's more, he didn't expect that his commentary partner would be Lu Sizhu.

"This is a great experience. I hope there will be more similar activities. Children love to participate."

Shi Yu was originally prepared to study this game of chess with the ninth-dan masters in the national team's research room.

Obviously, the above also has the new traffic password.

"In other words, some of your moves are only suitable for you and others cannot control them. Is that what you mean?"

"It's true. He doesn't seem to adapt to my genre very well. He just keeps learning and learning, and then he goes back to his own routine."

In addition to teaching Gu Shengshan the essence of the genre, he will also partner with other masters to imitate Jiang Changhao's chess style and play pressure chess with him.

During the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, there was often a large gap in chess skills between players, making it difficult to make progress in a one-on-one situation.

But it's not bad. Shi Yu doesn't expect Gu Shengshan to learn much from it in such a short period of time.

"Shi Yu, I heard that you have been teaching Gu Shengshan how to play your style recently. Is this true?" Xu Ying asked.

She subconsciously turned her head to stare at Shi Yu, only to find that the man was covering his mouth and snickering.

Although Shi Yu has already proved the feasibility and even the advanced nature of this system with brilliant achievements.

In this match with Jiang Changhao, it is still a matter of hard power and bloodshed.

“Tell us what you think of this period of collective research.”

"It's my first time to be a commentator, but the two of us have done chess playing and post-game review many times, and we are already familiar with it." Shi Yu answered fluently.

His chess style is a violent and fierce type that is rare in the chess world. His emphasis is on a miracle with great strength. You want me to make up the chess honestly?
Isn't this a joke? If I don't reveal my flaws, how can my opponent attack me?

Shi Yu readily agreed, after all, there was a commentary fee to be paid.

"Report! Today's game is being narrated by Shi Yu and the Deer Queen together! It's at the central Go table!"

Even if he verbally expresses his optimism about learning, when it comes to actual reactions, his body is much more honest than his brain.

"Just now Shi Yu teased the Deer Queen in public, grandma, this kid is getting less and less good at acting!"

After some self-understanding of what Shi Yu taught, we selected the essence. After removing the dross, there was really not much essence left.

If the opponent doesn't attack, how should I counterattack?

In the past few days, Shi Yu has been between home and the chess academy headquarters, leaving early and returning late, experiencing the so-called morning rush hour.

Unexpectedly, just last night, I got new instructions to explain this game.

This collective research experience was quite rare for Shi Yu.

After the birth of AI, similar collective activities have basically disappeared. If you don’t understand anything, just ask AI. There is no need for a group of people to just make random assumptions.

For example, at the end of 2023, after Ashen lost consecutively in the Asian Games and Samsung Cup, he suddenly realized that he could not play Go well with these insects, so he simply retreated again and only played chess with AI. Later, he really won the Nongshim Cup. Achieved unprecedented good results.

At this point, collective research has become a scene in the memory of many chess players that they will never go back to. Many people miss the scene when they got together and argued so hard that they wished they had to play twenty rounds of chess on the spot. They can only use their youth to do it. describe.

Nowadays, Shi Yu can still participate in group research meetings and feel the atmosphere of brainstorming and coming together to figure out solutions.

There is another less important reason. In group seminars, you can perform your unique skills openly and torture others.

Hey, I just opened it, how about it? Just playing.

While they were chatting in a relaxed manner, everyone in Korea was extremely nervous.

"How is Jiang Changhao's condition?" Dean Jin asked in a low voice.

"The condition is very ideal. When he said this, we can rest assured." Cao Yanxun said.

"I'm not asking about his status, but his next goal. Does he really plan to take a year off after this Nongshim Cup?" Dean Jin has always been worried about this.

"I later communicated with him and changed the rest period from one year to half a year. It is expected that I will be able to appear on the court again in October this year."

"Oh my god, why do you still need to take half a year off? What should we do during this gap period?" Dean Jin cried with his head in his arms.

The incident on the Go armor was another heavy blow to the morale of Korean Go, and new Korean Go jokes started flying all over the sky.

Joke 1:

[The new rules of hell are that those who play against Shi Yu will be pricked with needles every time they lose more miserably.

Jia Minjun: I received ten injections. Where is Brother Jin?

Jin Shanyou: Forget it, I received a hundred injections, but it hurt me to death.

Jia Minjun: Where is Brother Li? How many shots will he get?

Cui Du, who had already received a thousand stitches, came over with a cane: I don’t know, it is said that Li Xiantie will stay under the sewing machine for a week. 】

Joke 2:
[There is a fork in the road, one leading to competition and the other leading to art.

Jiang Changhao came to the intersection, thought for a long time, and walked towards the athletics lane.

Takemiya Masaki came to the intersection and walked towards the art path.

When Shi Yu arrived at the intersection, he changed the signs for athletics and art, and walked towards "art" with his head held high.

The fourth person to appear was Li Xiantie. He didn't know that the road signs had been changed, so he headed to the "competition" side without hesitation.

All of them can be called spiritual treasures of civilization in the Go world.

Especially this second joke is particularly vivid.

Jiang Changhao's competitiveness and Takemiya Masaki's artistry are self-evident.

The key is that Shi Yu actually engages in competition under the banner of art.

Since he showed his power in Qi Ji Zhan, each chess record he has played has become more exciting than the last. It is enough to hold a personal art exhibition of Shi Yu, filled with his chess records.

Not only was it exciting, but he actually won, which is the most infuriating thing!

Needless to say, Li Xiantie is a pure performance art.

When he appeared on the armor with the hairy appearance of a primitive man, his artistic aura was rising rapidly.

Later, they even created four-table games, paid extra money to play extra games, and the unprecedented abstract game of live conquest.

These were all done without any deliberate effort on his part and with his single-minded pursuit of victory.

This kid didn't even realize that he was engaging in performance art, thinking that he was a staunchly competitive person.

In the past, when faced with such an outrageous collective failure of their own chess players, Korean chess fans would definitely use all means to ridicule them.

But now, in addition to teasing, they also worshiped Shi Yu more.

In South Korea, a large number of Shi Yu's chess fans have appeared, and many people even sincerely hope that he can become the world's number one. Those who say this are not often criticized.

This is unprecedented in the history of Korean sports.

What's the meaning? Under Shi Yu's successive heavy punches, are our chess fans going to suffer from Stockholm symptoms?

This is really unreasonable!

Ever since South Korea began to pay attention to the sport of Go, we have always been the ones to defeat others. How can we be defeated?

"Let's look at chess first. Even without Jiang Changhao, we still have Liu Yonghuan. Not only is his chess ability second only to Jiang Changhao, but he is also very young and has a high probability of starting a new dynasty." Cao Yanxun said.

"What's more, in my opinion, Li Xiantie is still capable of competing with Shi Yu. In addition, there is a child named You at Chongyan Dojo."

"Okay! Don't mention that guy Li Xiantie's name. I'm already scared of him!" Dean Jin quickly covered his ears and refused to listen.

Compared with the powerful enemies from outside, the unlucky things inside are the real trouble.

This brings me to another Korean Go joke that has been widely circulated recently:

[When Jin Jianchao was critically ill and bedridden, all the Korean chess players gathered around his window.

I saw him holding out two fingers, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Yuan Huachui: Do you want to add 20% to the chess players’ prize money?

Jin Jianchao shook his head.

Cui Du: What do you mean, reduce the chess player allowance by another 20%?
Dean Jin still shook his head.

Cao Yanxun suddenly understood something, walked towards Li Xiantie, and slapped him twice.

Jin Jianchao closed his eyes peacefully. 】

This is one of the rare Korean Go jokes that resonates with Dean Kim.

On the playing field, players from both sides entered the game room at the same time and sat down beside the chessboard.

The off-field temperaments of Gu Shengshan and Jiang Changhao are completely opposite. Gu Shengshan is sunny and cheerful, while Jiang Changhao is as reserved and silent as ice.

On the chessboard, the two have similar styles, either using softness to overcome strength, or using powerful Vajra Palm. There is rarely a game where the characteristics of both sides can be brought out at the same time.

"You two, please say something before the game starts." The reporter at the scene handed over the microphone.

In the history of the Nongshim Cup, there are very few speeches before the start of the game.

"I have nothing to say. Let's treat it as a normal game. I should have half the probability of winning." Jiang Changhao answered normally as before.

Gu Shengshan took the microphone and smiled awkwardly: "I'll do my best. My record in the Nongshim Cup is not good, and I didn't take advantage of the victory against Jiang Changhao. The only good news is that I have less pressure in this round.”

"Can I ask why you are less stressed?"

This is very puzzling.

In a team battle like the Nongshim Cup, the pressure to win or lose is often greater, especially in the last battle of the leader.

"Mainly during this period, my friends and I were studying and training together. During this period, I had many in-depth discussions with Shi Yu."

Shi Yu was stunned when he heard this interview in the studio.

This can concern me, right?

"What did you and him talk about?" the reporter asked curiously.

"He told me, Brother Gu, it doesn't matter if you lose this set. He will help me win the Nongshim Cup next time."

Having said this, Gu Shengshan finally couldn't hold himself any longer and laughed twice.

All eyes in the studio turned to Shi Yu.

"Huh? Did I even say this?"

Shi Yu thought about it carefully and realized that he really said it.

And it wasn't just drunken nonsense. It was during a certain review that I got a little too excited and made a few moves, shocking them all.

Amid the shocked eyes, Shi Yu leaned close to Gu Shengshan affectionately: "It's okay. Brother Gu, you lose if you lose. I will take you to get the bonus next time."

Could it be that I was too aggressive and made him believe it?
"Shi Yu really said that?" The reporter looked nervous.

If other chess players said this, they might be bragging.

But when Shi Yu said this, the nature was different, and he might be serious.

"Yes, he did say that, and I saw the level he showed during the review, and I did believe it." Gu Shengshan said with an open face.

"Review?"

The reporter was stunned. Is it true that, as Teacher Dazhu said, there is such a thing as a replay victory in this world?

"The level of review reflects a person's progress to a large extent. If you can listen to his review guidance for one or two games, you won't be surprised why he can make such great progress in a short period of time. So, I really believe that he can lead me to win the Nongshim Cup next year.”

Gu Shengshan said with a smile, as if he was joking, but also as if he was showing a little bit of his true feelings.

Lu Sizhu quite agrees with this.

Every time she replayed a chess game with Shi Yu, she would check the doors and windows carefully and close them properly to prevent anyone from coming in and stealing the skills.

"When I think that I can make a comeback next year, I suddenly feel that the pressure this year is much less. What's more important is that our next generation has grown up, and I don't have to bear so much pressure anymore."

This also made reporters realize something.

For the top chess player in the competition like Gu Shengshan, the pressure he bears is not just as simple as victory, defeat and bonus, but also the hundreds of thousands of eyes behind him.

Moving forward with these eyes on your back is naturally very motivating, but it can also be overwhelming at times.

Now, Ou Yu finally appeared to help him share the firepower.

Thinking about it this way, the pressure on Gusheng Mountain became much less.

The hands that were clinging to the top could finally be let go.

Give it a go.

"The game begins."
