After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 104 103. Becoming one of our own [Ten more chapters!!!]

"What did Hattori Koichi do? He lost 3-0 in three games in one day and got his head shaved! He might as well shave his head himself!
Is he too embarrassed to come see me? Does he still feel embarrassed? If he knows how to feel embarrassed, how can he play like this? You told him not to come tomorrow, what's the point of playing chess? I feel ashamed for him!"

Inoue Toshiki, executive director of the Kansai Chess Institute, was flipping through the chess record of today's game between Zhan Lang and Hattori Koichi, and was so angry that he tore up a few pieces of paper and threw them into the trash can.

I originally wanted Hattori Koichi to stop the little guy Zhan Lang's winning streak, but what happened is this result?
It’s not like I hadn’t thought about the possibility of losing, but I had never thought about losing three times in a row!

That bastard Hattori Koichi was talking about sniping Zhan Lang in front of him yesterday. What the hell can you do with a snipe? Just snipe!

It would have been fine if you had just lost, but you even forced others to continue playing, and you played three games.

What if you win one game out of three?
In the end, he didn’t win a single game and just shaved his head!
Shameful, so damn shameful!
The more Inoue Toshiki thought about it, the angrier he got. How could Hattori Koichi lose like this?

We talk about Kansai’s hope every day. If the hope for Kansai’s future is like this, then what future does Kansai Chess Institute have?
Tired, destroy it!

Lin Hongshu, 9th Dan, who was sitting next to him, calmly took a sip of tea and began to analyze: "In the first game, Hattori trusted his so-called strong position too much and turned a blind eye to Zhan Lang's continuous attacks, which led to the final defeat.

In the second game, I finally showed some level of ability, but in the end I was still suppressed by the opponent and won by half a point.

By the third game, Hattori was completely anxious and his mentality was unstable. The tone of the whole game was in chaos from the beginning, and he was defeated by Zhan Lang not long after the start of the game.

Technically speaking, Hattori is not that much worse. Apart from some of Zhan Lang's special moves, Hattori's strength might be slightly stronger.

But my character is still not tempered enough. I am too impetuous and cannot calm down when I encounter adversity.

I have said before that you should not let Hattori get too proud and should give him a knock at the right time. Look, he didn't listen to my advice and ended up like this. He doesn't have the demeanor of a general at all.

As a chess master, you must not be arrogant when you win, nor discouraged when you lose, and always have a good attitude and a big heart, only then you have a chance to become a top-notch chess player. "

Being too impatient when facing adversity and having no courage at all, no matter what level you reach in the future, it will be difficult for you to achieve great things.

Thinking of this, Lin Hongshu shook his head helplessly. To be fair, among the younger generation in Kansai, Hattori Koichi is already the best, and the others are even more disgraceful.

If Hattori Koichi can't do it, then the others will...

"Let's talk about punishing this brat in a few days. I have to shave his head myself!"

Although Inoue wanted to grab Hattori Koichi and shave his hair like his ancestors, he suppressed his anger: "But we have to win a game against that Zhan Lang kid, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that our young generation is not as good as the Chinese?"

"Isn't it easy to win? I'll do it."

"You're going to do it? You must be kidding me."

When Inoue Toshiki heard what Lin Hongshu said, he thought the other party was joking.

But after laughing twice, looking at Lin Hongshu's serious expression, Inoue Toshiki asked uncertainly: "You don't really want to play?"

Today is not April 1st, nor is it April Fools' Day.

"What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"There's a problem! It's a big problem!"

After hearing Lin Hongshu's answer, Inoue Toshiki said something speechless.

If they just want to win the battle with 100% certainty, the Kansai Ki Academy will be able to find one or two people who can do this. After all, no matter how bad the Kansai Ki Academy is, no matter how badly it loses, there are still several 9th ​​dans.

These people’s winning rate against Zhan Lang can be said to be as high as 99%.

But the problem is, if you, the ninth dan, go up there, isn't it just like bullying a child?
Is this still called communication?

This is called bullying the weak! Don't be a bitch!
It's just embarrassing!
It would be shameful if you couldn't win, but if you, the ninth dan, won, it would be the most shameful of all.

The exchange meeting itself is divided into three levels: professional levels one to three are one level, four to six are one level, and seven to nine are one level.

At the beginning, Kansai Ki-in put Zhan Lang in the lower professional rank, but after finding that his opponent won a few times, he promoted him to the fourth rank to test the waters. When that still didn't work, he released Hattori Koichi, the fifth rank, to take on the opponent.

As a result, not only did he fail to bite the person, but he was also beaten up.

But no matter how much he tried to convince himself, Bu Guangyi and Zhan Lang were only a few years apart in age, so it could be regarded as an exchange between young people, and it would not be considered as the big bullying the weak.

What worries Inoue Toshiki is how to use young people or people with lower ranks to win the battle without losing face.

As for closing the shop and releasing the ninth dan directly, Inoue Toshiki had never considered this option at all.

I can't afford to lose this person.

"Do you really want to leave? Do you want to give up the first move or two pieces? You may not be able to give up two pieces, right?"

"Division first."

Hearing Lin Hongshu's bland statement, Inoue Toshiki couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "That's great, you are really shameless.

No matter how much Zhan Lang is known as a Chinese Go prodigy, he is just an ordinary professional. If you, a 9th dan, get involved in a friendly exchange with others and get points, you will lose face in Kansai if this gets out.

I guess by then people will directly say that our Kansai Ki-in can’t afford to lose, and there’s no way they can get you promoted to the first dan level tomorrow.”

"We are all professional players, so what's the difference between high and low? It's not unprecedented for a 9th dan to lose to a lower dan in a professional competition. Don't always be so self-righteous and act like you're so noble."

Inoue was convinced by Lin Hongshu's twisted logic. "That was carelessness in a professional competition. There is no distinction between high and low levels in a professional competition, but how can it be compared to this kind of communication? What's wrong with your brain?"

Lin Hongshu just drank his tea calmly: “I want to test how deep this kid’s level is. If it’s not me, I feel that those young people you are with can’t test his bottom.

I want to see it all at once and see what the child is like now.”

"and then?"

"Then invite him to join the Kansai Ki-in."

"what?"

Isn't Kansai always worried about the lack of young people? So the solution is to introduce talents.

There is a very simple way to deal with the opponent if you can’t defeat him, which is to turn him into your own person.
