After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 224 Chapter 223 Old Things

There are actually historical reasons why Japanese reporters are so excited, because what happened decades ago is so similar to what is happening today, and both are confrontations between China and Japan.

In 1939, Master Wu, a chess player living in Japan, and Master Kitani of Japan played against each other in public.

At that time, both of them were very famous masters, and even the two strongest people of the new generation.

Therefore, the Japanese news agency also specially organized a very formal competition for them, which is the very famous "Kamakura Juban Go" in Japan.

As the two strongest forces at the time, coupled with the controversy surrounding these two men, this match attracted a lot of attention and even had a great impact on later generations.

The game lasted three days and 18 hours. In the first two days, Master Wu was far ahead, which put Master Mu Gu under great pressure.

By the third day, the situation became evenly matched, but Master Mu Gu played slower and slower, wasting a lot of time.

Just when the match was almost decided, Master Kitani suddenly started bleeding from the nose. Faced with this sudden situation, the referee immediately helped him outside to rest.

But before the game, no one expected such an emergency to happen, and there was basically no precedent before. But now such an emergency has happened, and the game is not over yet. What should we do next? These are all problems that must be dealt with immediately.

So a staff member immediately asked Master Wu, the current situation is too easy to deal with, should the game be suspended for half an hour? Let Master Mu Gu take a break, and then continue the game.

It is said that Master Wu kept looking at the chessboard without saying anything, and put down his chess piece after more than ten minutes. In the eyes of the staff, this showed that he wanted to continue playing.

If the opponent is unwilling, there is naturally no way to terminate the game, and Master Kitani must return to the chessboard to continue the game.

This behavior was considered inhumane by many people, and a reporter who was watching the game immediately wrote an article criticizing Master Wu.

Afterwards, Japanese media quickly formed public opinion accusing Master Wu of being inhumane during the game, and some people even sent him threatening letters.

Afterwards, Master Wu said that the truth was that he was concentrating on the chessboard at the time and did not notice that Master Kitani on the opposite side was bleeding from the nose, nor did he pay attention to the staff's inquiries.

No one except the person involved knows what the truth is, but no one believed his explanation. Instead, it was used as an excuse by the Japanese media, which triggered a further round of personal attacks.

It is precisely because of this history that when Li Yiran had a nosebleed, Kashima Torajiro was so nervous and the reporters were so excited, because they thought of this incident at the same time, and never thought that this incident would happen to them.

It is impossible for those who study Go in Japan not to know this piece of history, because the impact this time on the world is so huge.

Just like most of the later Chinese professional chess players would know the move of Shen Zi in the final battle between Ke, Shen and Sanxing in 20, because it is so classic.

However, few people know that in the second game, Lao Ke was also disconnected due to the countdown, because there were so many disconnections in the online chess era that everyone has become desensitized to it.

Therefore, Japanese reporter Yamamoto asked for China's response as soon as possible, because China's response is crucial.

After all, given what happened back then, any reaction from China would be wrong.

If the Japanese side is unwilling to let Li Yiran rest and the Chinese side wants to rest, then it can be said that China is repaying a debt owed to someone decades ago.

Your person was unwilling to let the other person rest back then, so how can you have the nerve to ask for a rest for your own family now?
If the Japanese side is willing to let Li Yiran rest, then no matter whether they win or lose, Japanese reporters will have a lot of news to report.

After Li Yiran had a nosebleed, the Japanese side showed the attitude of a great Go power by allowing the player to rest and waiting for the opponent to recover, and still won the game.

If someone was ruthless and cruel forty years ago, would the outcome of the game be different if Master Kitani's opponent was also a person of high moral character? Pulling out the past and then demolishing it highlights the nobility of Japan today and belittles the meanness of the opponent. It is definitely hot news and can make everyone feel good.

If the opponent still loses after taking a break, it will further demonstrate the strength of Japan as the kingdom of Go! Tolerance!
You see, it’s not that we don’t give you a chance, it’s that you are useless even if we give you the chance.

Now, it depends on how China responds.

Looking at the reporter specializing in this game who rushed in anxiously to explain the situation, Zhan Lang and Hao Qiang couldn't help but look at each other. They really didn't expect such a situation to happen.

This kind of emergency was completely unexpected. I never thought it would happen, let alone make any advance preparations.

Although excessive stress during a game can indeed cause some physical problems, for example, someone may vomit directly onto the chessboard and launch a biochemical attack due to excessive stress, or even faint during a game due to excessive stress.

But they didn't expect that a similar thing would happen in this competition. After all, those who could participate in this competition were all experienced veterans.

Only Zhan Lang came from the Chinese Go team this time, so theoretically speaking, he must be fully responsible for this matter.

Zhan Lang quickly recovered from his brief shock: "According to Japanese rules, if such an emergency occurs, can we go into the game room to take a look?"

Zhan Lang was naturally not asking the reporter who reported the news, but was asking Koichi Sakamoto, one of the directors of the Japan Chess Institute who was sitting on the other side and was also here to watch the game today.

The decision now lies with the other party.

Director Koichi Sakamoto did not expect that such a thing would happen on the first day of the game. At the same time, he could naturally think of a very similar thing that happened decades ago.

At this moment, if at that time and that moment.

How can they be so similar?

"of course can!"

When Koichi Sakamoto heard this, he quickly recovered from his shock and immediately made a judgment that this was an excellent opportunity for Japanese Go to promote itself!

Hearing this, Zhan Lang immediately stood up, nodded, and began to rush towards the game scene.

No matter what, we must first determine the physical condition of this guy Li Yiran.

When Hao Qiang saw this situation, he followed over. Naturally, the two Japanese players could not just stay where they were, after all, they were the ones who decided the rules of the game.

Just like that, the huge VIP viewing room became empty.

Because the two sides were very close, Zhan Lang arrived at the game room in less than a minute.

At this time, Li Yiran in the game room was looking up, applying an ice towel to his nose. There were shocking bloodstains on his white shirt and used towel.
