After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 164 163. Natural Enemy
"Miyamoto Kudan, please come back next time! I look forward to seeing you next time!"

Listening to the voices of people enthusiastically greeting him and seeing him off at the airport, Miyamoto Kudan felt that the voices were extremely harsh.

I felt like my already weak body couldn't hold on any longer and I almost stumbled and fell. Fortunately, there was someone beside me to support me.

"I won't come again next time!"

Miyamoto listened to the authentic Tokyo-accented Japanese and said something viciously.

What the hell is this place! I didn’t eat well, didn’t sleep well, lost the chess game, and I’m sick again!
The horoscopes are not compatible! This place is a curse on me!
I want to go back to Japan! I want to go back to Tokyo! I want to go back to Utopia…

"Don't you want revenge?"

Kojima looked at Miyamoto who was being supported by him and asked curiously. After all, even a few young men in the team who lost to Zhan Lang were still drawing circles in the corner and thinking about revenge next time.

Miyamoto actually didn't want revenge? This is not in line with his character.

Miyamoto can be said to be the one who suffered the most losses in this China-Japan Go exchange. He was on a five-game winning streak, but it was abruptly interrupted by Zhan Lang.

That would have been fine, but Miyamoto developed a fever the night after the game and was sent straight to the hospital for an IV.

Even the match with Fang Yuan the next day was cancelled. He was in very bad shape and stayed in bed for two days. He even missed the exchange group organized by the Chinese Go side to visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and other attractions.

The competition did not produce good results and the hospitality was not even good enough. It can be said that this trip to China was a complete waste.

If it were someone else, he would definitely think of revenge, and next time he would tear out the tendons and bones of Zhan Lang, the person who affected his fortune, and he would not be a human being if he did not take revenge.

Now, the only possible interaction between Chinese and Japanese chess players is the official exchanges between China and Japan. If they do not participate in this in the future, they will never have the chance for revenge in their lifetime.

This guy Miyamoto didn't even think about revenge, he just wanted to go home.

It's a bit strange.

"Just think of it as a dog bite!"

Hearing this, Miyamoto said something vicious.

It's like if you get bitten by a dog, can you bite it back?
Looking at Miyamoto, who had a haggard face but was extremely fierce, Kojima always felt that the other party had more thoughts in his heart than what he thought, but Kojima didn't know what Miyamoto was thinking.

Miyamoto glanced at Kojima Kudan, who was full of doubt, and didn't say much. He just followed him and boarded the plane back to Japan.

If there was a chance for revenge, Miyamoto would certainly not let it go.

But the problem is, when others went out to play, Miyamoto was lying in bed and even in his dreams he was replaying a game.

In the dream, this game of chess seemed to have been played countless times. Miyamoto tried countless ways of playing, but without exception, he ended in failure.

The more he thought about it, the more Miyamoto felt that he did not fail because of a single mistake, but because his entire plan was figured out by others.

How to say this?

It seems that no matter what happens, it cannot escape Zhan Lang's expectations.

It was as if in this game, I met a natural enemy, who was playing me around in the palm of his hand.

There is often such a thing as a weak player in Go, but there are different levels of weak players.

For example, for a player like Lao Ke who is clearly the number one, no matter if he is at his peak or not, anyone who can tie with him in overall record is basically considered to be Lao Ke's nemesis.

For example, Xuan Gong’s overall record against Xiao Shen is not positive, but because he sniped Xiao Shen twice in the world championships, many people also think that he is Xiao Shen’s nemesis.

Because for the number one person, no one can remember who he beat, but everyone will remember who he lost to.

As long as you can beat him twice more, especially in the key game, everyone will naturally think you have the upper hand. Because people will not remember the number of times he beats you, but the number of times he loses to you will be deeply remembered.

So essentially speaking, it is difficult for someone who can sit in the number one position to have any real natural enemies.

The real natural enemy is that when you meet him, the difference in strength between you and him is obviously not that big. Those who are weaker than you have defeated him, and those who are similar in strength to you have also defeated him, but you just can't win a single game.

No matter how well you play a game, you will be suppressed by the opponent, or you may make a comeback at the last moment and be beaten to zero, or even lose by double digits.

This is the real natural enemy!

Miyamoto has always believed that a particularly balanced chess player like himself could not have such a natural enemy.

Only those chess players with particularly distinctive styles are likely to exist.

But during the two days of lying in bed, Miyamoto thought more and more that Zhan Lang was his natural enemy.

It's like Tom meets Jerry.

If we continue to lose after two more games, it would be really embarrassing.

Anyway, Chinese and Japanese chess players will never meet in real professional competitions. If they simply lose this one game, no one will care and it will slowly be forgotten by time.

"Finally, we sent these uncles away."

Zhan Lang couldn't help but yawn. After playing chess, he still had to accompany the others to eat, drink and play. He had become the third companion at public expense.

Chen Long shook his head when he heard this: "They are stronger than me. If you want them to come, you have to treat them well. This way you can attract more strong chess players to come and exchange ideas."

Just like later on, the salaries of Korean foreign players in the Chinese Go League were generally much higher than those of domestic players.

The reason is that when the Chinese Weiqi League was just established, South Korea completely suppressed China in the world competitions, and China even found it difficult to win a championship.

At that time, there was no such thing as China's thickness. In terms of sharpness, South Korea had the sharpest chess player, and in terms of thickness, there were no fewer first-class chess players than China.

In order to better compete against South Korea in the world championships, the Chinese Weiqi League began to invite top Korean players to compete and established a rule that foreign players were not allowed to play.

It is to enable Chinese chess players to become familiar with Korea's top chess players in the Weiqi League, compete with them more often, learn and understand them through competing with them, and finally defeat them in the world competitions.

The same is true now, even though many of the exchanges in Go between China and Japan are at the official level, they will continue without interruption.

But if you want more top-notch chess players to come, you must offer more generous treatment.

"I hope that one day, we will all enjoy this treatment."

Hearing what Chen Long Jiudan said, Zhan Lang just shook his head.

Later, Japanese Go did not decline to that state. Even such idiotic words as "Now our Japanese female players are performing very well. They have reached a level where they can compete with male players. If they can train more, I believe they will have a chance to win the world championship." were said.

They also failed to bring in top chess players from China and South Korea to compete with them. Instead, they became more sluggish, stopped hosting world championships, and became more closed internally.

Some players are even asked to give up their places in the world championships for domestic competitions, and other players will take their places according to the ranking.

Of course, if one follows the bad chess player's idea, this kind of lying-down social environment is still quite good, refusing to compete with others and continuing to live off one's past achievements.

As to whether it will eventually lead to chronic death and the movement will be completely ruined, we will have to trust in the wisdom of future generations.

Anyway, as a Japanese chess player, I just need to lie down and be comfortable enough.
