Chapter 44. Appreciation
Seniority in the Go world is a very magical thing. Theoretically speaking, three years is considered a generation, and those who are six or seven years older will call each other "old man", and they are considered two generations.

But there are always some people of the same age who are accepted as apprentices by the older seniors, and their seniority is suddenly promoted.

For example, the Korean Go Emperor is very senior compared to his peers.

Moreover, the ways they address each other are very confusing. To some extent, China's second-generation leaders can be considered apprentices of the first-generation leaders, the third generation is also apprentices of the first generation, the fourth generation calls the third generation "brother", the fifth generation calls the fourth generation "brother", and no one knows who the sixth generation is.

So in the end, after all the calculations, everyone can only accept one rule and do their own thing.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. Compared to the dojo system that has gradually formed in Japan, the relationship at the Chinese Chess Academy is more like that between new and old technicians in factories. When newcomers come to the national team, the old employees will be responsible for their teaching, forming an alternative master-apprentice relationship to some extent.

Fang Yuan felt that he admired Zhan Lang very much.

Breaking the conventional thinking and making this move is something that many strong chess players would never even think about. It is a forbidden zone in thinking and has always been a dark place under the lamp.

Fang Yuan came this time to see the development of the Tianjin team, and also to encourage them. He said that if one day you join the national team, I will personally accept you as my apprentice.

After all, I am the first person to officially reach the top in China, so it is quite impressive to say such things.

As a result, I couldn't pretend this time. Fortunately, I knew the news in advance, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

"Where's Li Yiran?"

Fang Yuan could only helplessly shift his target to another candidate. Li Yiran was also someone he had targeted before, but the other party had been hanging around in the provincial team and didn't get promoted, and he didn't even give him a chance.

Liu Qiqiang heard this and said helplessly: "He is just like that. He broke his leg some time ago.

I'll be back soon after taking a month off. "

“It’s normal for young people.

If you calculate it, he is actually only seventeen years old, he just reported three years older on his ID card."

Fang Yuan didn't care. After all, he had done a lot of things in the past that people disliked and hated.

Nowadays, many chess players have impressive strength at a very young age. Some talented teenagers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have the strength to sit firmly on the provincial team at the age of fourteen and then enter the national team.

If Li Yiran continues like this, he will be wasting all his talent.

The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the door of the coach's office, where they saw Luo Han Guo pacing back and forth at the door.

"Coach Luo, what are you doing standing at the office door?"

Liu Qiqiang looked at Luo Han Guo who was standing at the door and turning around in circles and asked curiously.

Even if you have something urgent to do, there is no need to stand outside the door of your office, right?

Or, who are you guarding the door for?

……

Why do I seem to have thought of something strange?

Luo Han Guo looked at the two people who suddenly came as if he saw a savior.

"Deputy Mayor Liu! You're here just in time. Something happened. Li Yiran just came back today and he insisted on challenging Zhan Lang, saying he wanted to avenge Sun Zhouzhe and was willing to put his position as captain on the line."

If it is just a rotation of an ordinary captain position, the team can make the final decision. In fact, it is just a matter of reporting to the person in charge and getting his signature.

But it was mainly a problem of unity within the sports team! Not to mention that Zhan Lang seemed to be a relative of Deputy Mayor Liu. This conflict made it difficult for him to even smooth things over.

Liu Qiqiang was confused when he heard this. What do you think this is true?

Li Yiran said he wanted to help Sun Zhouzhe get revenge? Why did it sound like Zhuge Liang said he wanted to get revenge for Sima Yi?
Are you afraid you haven't woken up yet?
Sima Yi wants to restore the Han Dynasty?

After hearing what Luo Han Guo said, he quickly explained to Liu Qiqiang what had happened before. Then the number of confused people increased from one to two.

But Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "This guy is trying to pass on the blame!"

No one understands Li Yiran better than me!

When I was leading the national team, I wanted to pass the work to other people, and others wanted to pass the work to me. Li Yiran can't survive in the national team with this level of acting skills.

You still want to pass on the blame with this level?

Young people are still too young. "Huh?"

"Li Yiran, this lazy guy, used to have someone to help him with his work, but now that person has left, he has to find someone new to do the work, otherwise how can he be lazy.

Is that guy Zhan Lang? He's quite handsome, and has some style similar to me.

Fuck, why is the rain so smelly?!"

Fang Yuan watched the game inside through the window and directly revealed Li Yiran's thoughts in one sentence.

The first time he saw Zhan Lang, Fang Yuan immediately felt that this guy was exactly like me. He was so handsome and was definitely a good go player!
But after taking another look at the chessboard, Fang Yuan started cursing, what a lousy move Zhan Lang made!

This kid is really not like me!

Wasn't this a bad game for Zhan Lang? What the hell is this? It feels like a novice being chased and killed!
I can't bear to see myself working so hard!
nausea!

I wouldn't dare to make such a shape even with the lights off! You still have the lights on!
Zhan Lang must be very strong since he was able to kill Sun Zhouzhe like that. How come he was suppressed by Li Yiran like this?

Is it because of the restrained chess style?

In Go, there are often some players who are very strong, but are naturally weaker than one or two people. When their strengths are similar, one may only win a few games out of a dozen or twenty games.

Luo Han Guo shook his head when he heard this: "That's not the case. Zhan Lang always uses some tough, even illogical tactics at the beginning of the game.

Some of them may work miraculously occasionally, but most of the time the effects are not good, and may even drag you into a tough battle in the middle game.

This is how the training matches within the team are, and it was the same for Li Yiran this time."

Luo Han Guo once advised Zhan Lang to play normally at the beginning, but the other party said that he must try out new tactics during training, since it didn't matter if he lost.

The most important thing is to gain something from the game, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Luo Han Guo is also helpless about these geniuses, because it is really difficult to manage them, as each of them has their own ideas.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded.

A genius doesn't follow the beaten path, just like myself. I often question the ways of my predecessors, which is normal.

However, there are very few people who seem to question everything like this.

Luo Han Guo suddenly said at this time: "Although Zhan Lang often falls into adversity, he can always fight back at the last moment and turn defeat into victory.

Many people in the team were very worried. They felt that they were stronger than him, but they lost in the end when they had the advantage. They didn’t know if there was any hope for this game.”

Zhan Lang often behaves like this when playing in a team. In some situations where he thinks there is no need to continue, Zhan Lang will force the situation into a chaotic fight, or use some secret methods to turn death into life, bite back and win the victory.

Even though the game started off badly most of the time, Zhan Lang's winning rate in the team was still at the forefront over the past month, which was why Luo Han Guo was reluctant to say anything bad about the opponent.

After all, the real record is still here, which means it is strong.

If we really wanted to create a last-minute winning rate, we would have sent him out for a walk and stood in the corner to reflect on his actions.

It’s bad enough that he’s not good at it, but he also does some fancy moves!

But for these good students, we can only persuade them patiently.

"There is no chance of success in this situation."

Fang Yuan smiled and shook his head when he heard this. Even if he went on stage, there was no hope of winning.

In Fang Yuan's opinion, the main reason why Zhan Lang was able to turn defeat into victory many times was that the other players of the Tianjin team were too weak and could not outsmart a genius chess player like Zhan Lang in the second half of the game.

But this time the person sitting opposite him was Li Yiran. This guy's calculation ability and chess skills have always been among the best, and he could have been trained in the national team a long time ago.

In this situation and circumstances, how could we possibly defeat the opponent?

If it were me, I would just admit defeat in this situation.

There can't be any chance.
