Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 243· The Lunar New Year Cup begins!
January has arrived.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and it is also the day when the Lunar New Year Cup starts.

After a brutal selection, a total of sixty-four chess players from various countries and regions were selected for the main competition.

In regular competitions, 32 people enter the main game, but this time the number actually doubled.

With such a large number of places, almost all well-known chess players showed up one after another, and no one failed.

Not only does it include the three major competition areas, but also fringe areas such as Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia, some people come in to highlight an all-encompassing, all nations come to Korea.

The fiery fighting spirit is quietly brewing in winter.

The intense chill could not dampen the fighting spirit of the chess players.

Likewise, it cannot stop the strong vision of revenge.

"Okay, let's play chess today -"

Yumao said in disbelief.

Needless to say, the first Shi Yu was called by Brother Tiezi, and the second Shi Yu was called by Jingshan.

Lu Sizhu's answer was simple: "Why not send it to South Korea's Cui Yuzhen. With her here, I have a high probability of passing the first round."

Although he was very good at ranking first, but in the subsequent small competitions for newcomers, his performance was very unsatisfactory, like a "fallen genius".

"Shi-Yu!"

Another equally energetic voice came, highlighting a tit for tat.

It seems that this kid is also a master of fast shooting.

Originally, Lu Sizhu's speed chess skills were average, but after learning from Shi Yu's strengths and weaknesses for so long, she seemed to have an idea and was narrowly qualified.

As for Choi Yoo Jin, she came in as a wild card.

At first glance, it turned out to be Mr. Liu.

As soon as he got off the bus and came to the square in front of the entrance of CCTV, he heard several sounds like ghosts crying and wolf howling, all of which were very familiar.

The good news is that the loyal duo have fulfilled their promise of making one more addition.

Like Yumao, Kejue was also a dark horse who suddenly broke into this competition, beyond everyone's expectations.

"So you are Yumao, do you know me?"

Seeing that there was no one to fish for, he asked Lu Sizhu if he had anyone to recommend.

"You! It's you! You got in too!"

"Haha! I didn't expect that! Look, I will definitely be able to survive one more round than you in this competition!" Ke Jue shouted optimistically.

Although the two have never met face to face in real life, the tacit understanding accumulated over many days of playing online chess is enough for Mao to recognize each other at a glance.

After all, China also has unexpected candidates.

"Oh, it turns out you are Yu Zhenxu. Nice to meet you." Shi Yu said.

Unexpectedly, after entering the fast chess track, he immediately stood out and excelled.

By the way, Lu Sizhu and Cui Youzhen were also present.

"Shi ↓ Yu ↑!"

As for the fourth question, how come my enemies have changed so much?
Shi Yu turned around and saw a strange kid wearing thick glasses and a watermelon hairstyle. His age was incompatible with his surroundings.

Bad news, it’s the third member of the duo who makes it to the main draw.

These places are usually given to masters who have failed in their own countries, or chess players with certain publicity, as well as female chess players who are worthy of training.

Not only do many lunatics have the intention of revenge against Shi Yu, but even the two first-stage dark horses of the younger generation also have the intention of being old enemies.

Wild cards are special quotas arranged by the organizer. Many world-class competitions have them, specifically to fish out some players who were drowned in the selection.

His symptoms are different from others. While others are extremely excited, he is like a female ghost who has died, staring at you with a dark look like crawling out of the TV.

"My name is Yumao! What, do you remember?" Yumao replied angrily.

It can only be said that this is the charm of fast chess competition. In each division, there are extremely young dark horses that stand out.

Ke Jue suddenly walked out from the side of Shi Yu and stared at him with a look of disdain.

"Who are you?" Shi Yu asked in Korean that he had become proficient in for a long time.

"You guys are almost here, so you really have to give up treatment completely, right?" Shi Yu looked ashamed.

Originally, Boss Lu prepared this quota to get Lu Sizhu, but he didn't expect that she would be shortlisted on her own strength.

"Shi Yu."

"Shi↑yu↓!"

Of course he remembered this kid.

Jian Wusheng + Tang Zongxuan: Gan!
Before the game officially started, the smell of gunpowder was already filling the square in front of CCTV.

What is strange is that the third one does not have any ups and downs, but is intermittent.

How could such a cute child not remember it after punishing him severely?
Unexpectedly, he also entered the main competition.

This suggestion is indeed very reasonable. Cui Youzhen is undoubtedly a promising female chess player. She is also very well-known among Three Kingdoms chess fans.

That's why it's a little too difficult.

"Jiang Changhao, he is indeed here too."

Shi Yu looked sideways and saw Jiang Changhao's figure.

After a few months, he finally appeared in the public eye again. As soon as he appeared, he became the focus of media attention, no less popular than Shi Yu.

In other words, interviewing him is equivalent to interviewing Shi Yu.

Everyone knows that he is the next mountain that Shi Yu will climb.

Also, Shi Yu made some exciting remarks in his last interview.

After several months of rest, can Jiang Changhao accept this challenge?
“I am participating this time mainly to recover my condition, and I don’t have many requirements for specific results.”

Jiang Changhao replied calmly:

"I know what kind of answer you want to hear, but unfortunately I can't do it this time. If it were the Ying's Cup a few months later, I might be able to give a different answer."

This answer made the reporters stand in awe.

Perhaps Shi Yu has distorted the atmosphere in the chess world. In recent times, interviews in the chess world have been chaotic, and everyone is proud of being a mudslide.

But now, Jiang Changhao returned from vacation, and the atmosphere immediately changed.

Look at this deep inner strength, look at this relaxed attitude, look at this hidden but majestic gaze.

It is simply the style of a master!

"It has to be Chang Hao! I knew that as long as Chang Hao launched an attack, everything would be fine!"

This interview made Dean Jin burst into tears with gratitude.

"Unfortunately, he is not in good condition this time, and he might be out soon."

Cao Yanxun looked at it carefully.

"Ah, isn't this what he is saying modestly?" Dean Jin was stunned.

"Isn't the correct script that Jiang Changhao should not lose the next game and win all the games?"

Cao Yanxun sighed and shook his head: "I am his master. I can tell at a glance whether his condition is good or bad. For this competition, let's count on others, such as Li Xiantie."

"Oh my God! I don't want this kind of thing. I don't want to count on this idiot anymore! I really don't want it at all!"

Dean Jin held his head in pain.

Feeling the powerful aura coming from not far away, Shi Yu smiled softly: "That's right. World-class competitions must have such excitement. Let's go, it's almost time~"

After briefly dealing with some media reporters, Shi Yu walked at the front of the team and led the way into the entrance of CCTV in the biting cold wind.

"Let us, applause, invite outstanding chess players from all over the world to enter!"

Under the mellow introduction of the host, the chess players stepped onto the podium one by one, and there was constant applause from below.

As expected of a competition hosted by CCTV, the specifications are particularly grand.

Those who were applauding below were all important leaders. Among them, Mr. Nie could barely sit in the middle.

Fortunately, this is a Go game, and everyone is already used to this scene.

If this were some kind of e-sports competition, I would hear such uniform voices below, with Zhang Baoxiang’s solemn face sitting there, and the barrage would be embarrassing enough to tear out three rooms and one living room.

The reason why it is so mobilized and mobilized is that the sponsors' full support is only a small aspect.

The main reason is that Shi Yu played a great united front role for Go in the Asian Games. The superiors were deeply moved and decided to increase their efforts to provide benefits. "Did you see that? That is Shi Yu, who has repeatedly helped Go out of the circle. I have a hunch that he will lead us to another big boom in Chinese Go, which will definitely be as good as mine."

Nie Lan boasted.

The leader next to him smiled and shook his head: "That's unlikely. You were a hero made by the times. Now you don't have this condition. Even if he wins against Jiang Changhao next, he will definitely not be as popular as he was back then. Times are different, unless you make a move. It might be possible to win against artificial intelligence or something like that.”

"Artificial intelligence? I can even beat the Trisolarans." Nie Lan smiled and waved his hand.

"Go is the last high ground for human intelligence games. With the current level of technology, I think it will take another fifty years to defeat humans in Go!"

"Haha, that's right, fifty years!" The leader also smiled happily.

Both parties have good expectations for the future.

Under such a serious situation, there was naturally nothing to do. After drawing lots, everyone entered the competition site one by one and walked into their seats according to the number plates in their hands.

The answer is revealed, today’s opponent is——

"Oh my god! I was just joking, why did I really meet you?"

Across the chessboard, Yuzheno's face darkened.

I don’t know which game got off to a bad start. After the chess player got the number plate, he didn’t shake hands or bump fists with another chess player who got the same number at the draw.

Instead, based on the drawn numbers, you can only see who your opponent is after sitting down. The main focus is a surprise.

This surprise made my heart almost die again.

I admit, calling your name before was somewhat provocative.

But I didn't expect to run into you right away! Doesn’t this crappy game have a novice protection period?
Shi Yu was really surprised to see him.

He knew it.

The buff of eating two fish for oneself is still in effect.

Unfortunately, this game does not have a novice protection period.

On the contrary, in order to ensure that the seeded players meet in the second half of the schedule, they are separated as much as possible.

We have fixed the bug·jpg that has a protection period for newbies.

Seeing this scene, Ke Jue, who was sitting not far from the chessboard, was already secretly laughing.

Liao Shen also felt much more balanced.

Xu Zhenglin's face also showed relief.

It's time for newcomers to feel the power of chaos.

"Game start!"

After the announcement, the entire audience was immediately muted, and thirty-two chess sets were laid out in a net-like pattern, which was particularly spectacular.

After a brief period of depression, Yuzheno immediately cheered up and guessed the first move.

Don't panic.

Before the game, didn't everyone have a group discussion about Shi Yu?
The result of the discussion was that Shi Yu was of course extremely strong, but this did not mean that he could continue to be strong.

After all, everyone has seen Shi Yu's recent decadent and decadent life.

It was so joyful that it almost didn’t look like a spin-off or an OVA.

More like a fanfic.

Pinch numb.

As a professional chess player, he is doing high-intensity live broadcasts all day long, sneak attacks on this player, sneak attacks on that player, playing this game, playing that game.

This damn thing is so enviable!
It is obvious that the great achievements of the Asian Games have corroded the young man's mind, making him lost in the gentle land of fandom and unable to extricate himself.

He has definitely neglected training recently and neglected his condition.

The chess game to be played now is fast chess, which is the most test of the recent feel and state.

This is the best time to defeat him.

How can the throne last forever? Hegemony eventually decays!
The seventh move, black, top!

Yu Mao made this chess move with great force, causing the chessboard to vibrate slightly.

[Emotional value from Yumao +51! 】

This move made Shi Yu more confused.

This is how to play the avalanche setup.

During the whole year when his chaotic flow was raging, things like the three major formulas had long been eliminated and relegated to the history museum.

For a young man like you, if you are still doing this, do you want to revive Rome or restore the Zhou rites?

No, when I played online chess with this kid before, he knew the Chaos flow quite well? Why did you suddenly become rebellious?

Without thinking for too long, Shi Yu relied on more than a year of competition experience to figure out the opponent's intentions.

After all, this is a fast chess format, and it is easy to get upset.

What is important is to go unconventionally and avoid falling into the pattern that the other party is good at.

This is the opponent's attempt to defeat the superior.

His fighting spirit is very good and he never avoids fighting because his opponent is too strong.

The idea is also very good and worthy of praise.

As for what to award, considering that rashly awarding Korean food to Koreans might dazzle them, it’s better to change the award.

Just reward me with a throwing knife.

Move 10, White is the leader!
Shi Yu did not deal with it as simply as usual, but deliberately turned to complexity.

Upgrade a small avalanche into a big avalanche!

"Report! Shi Yu changed his tactics and took the initiative to use the avalanche style!"

Move 11, black chess sticker!
Yumao happily accepted the challenge, this was the effect he wanted.

As for why Shi Yu wanted to walk through the avalanche, he couldn't figure it out based on his limited experience.

He only felt that the consequences of Shi Yu's unfamiliar touch were showing up.

The next hand count was orderly and flawless on both sides.

Although Shi Yu doesn't follow these three major formulas, just because he doesn't follow them doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do them.

On the contrary, after he established people who do not follow the three major patterns, it will be much easier for them to walk again.

So, soon, the flying knife was unsheathed.

Move 32, fly!
(Qiu Jun VS Teacher Jie, come out and watch Teacher Jie’s tragic stabbing incident)

It should be said that all flying knives in this world have something in common.

For example, this flying starting position.

Another example is this evil and weird chess shape that is out of common sense, all of which torture people's nerves.

Geek!

Yuzheno suddenly hit a hurdle in his heart.

What is this chess game?

Is there a map of the changes in this kind of large avalanche?

A bad premonition spread crazily in his heart.

Although he had little competition experience, he was still keenly aware of what this move was.

Throwing knives!

Only flying knives could explain the bizarre shape.

But in the fast chess match, he didn't have extra time to think, he had to make the move as soon as possible!

Move 33, black has two chess and one support!
Yumao thinks he has found the right solution.

In order to verify this conjecture, Yu Zhenxu raised his head carefully and took a sneak peek at Shi Yu.

Dingx2!

He saw the expression he least expected to see——

Shi Yu smiled, life or death was unpredictable!
