After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 85 85. I can't close the game today
"How's the chess game of Torajiro going?"

"Brother, we didn't have much time. The information on the chess record can only give me some idea of ​​his style. We haven't played against each other for four or five times, and we are not familiar with each other. I can't tell much from the chess record alone.

To be honest, you might as well show me the chess records where he lost, at least it can help me boost my confidence."

After hearing Fang Yuan's words, Zhan Lang couldn't help but complain. Yesterday he had time to rest, but he was forced to watch Kashima Torajiro's chess records.

However, you can’t tell much just by looking at the chess records. After all, the opponents in each game are different, and the performance of the same chess player will also be different.

In other words, even if chess players have their own distinctive personal styles, they will perform differently against different people. Only by actually playing against each other can one truly understand the other party.

Not to mention that Torajiro Kashima himself was not a professional player, and there are very few chess records that have been preserved. Moreover, many of the records are calculated in years from the present. For young chess players who are in a period of rapid development, they have even less reference value.

There is no way. Even if Torajiro Kashima is a Go prodigy, he is just a prodigy.

What everyone is paying attention to is the other side's top and middle-level chess players, who are the strongest forces in the struggle between them.

As for when these child prodigies can realize their potential, they will be worthy of attention.

Before their potential is realized, most of them are actually not worth paying much attention to. After all, most of the child prodigies from ancient times to the present are those who were praised as being very young but died halfway.

As for where the chess manual came from?
Fang Yuan said that he picked it up from the corridor of the room, and it might have grown from the ground.

As for who it is, everyone actually knows it. After all, only one's own people would stab one's own people in the back.

"Battle Waves."

At this time, Torajiro Kashima, who entered from the other side, walked over and looked at Zhan Lang who was sitting on the other side and slowly walked over.

"Kashima Torajiro."

Listening to each other's hometown dialect, both of them were silent for a few seconds, looked at each other and then turned their gaze to Fang Yuan next to them.

"Okay, I'll translate..."

Fang Yuan looked at everyone looking at him and couldn't help but roll his eyes, then silently complained in his heart.

Why are two people who can't even speak Chinese and Japanese trying to show off here? They can't even communicate.

"You are very strong and creative. For Chinese Go, it is great to have a genius like you.

If I wasn't there, maybe you could win the championship, but with me, there will only be one championship.

Because until now, I have never been the runner-up.

Because there is a saying that some people are born to be number one, and I am one of them.

No matter what, he is the first. He is the first in Go and drinking. Let’s go…”

Fang Yuan was translating and felt something was wrong, so he stopped and said to Zhan Lang, "Anyway, that's roughly what it means. He made some harsh remarks before the game."

"Then tell him that his chance of winning is about 50 percent."

Zhan Lang had a feeling that Fang Yuan seemed to have something important that he hadn’t translated, but it didn’t matter, so he just said something to him.

Fang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this. How cruel was it to say that the other party had a 50% chance of winning?
I'm 50-50 with you?

Feeling a bit scared all the time?

However, when Fang Yuan was about to add some exaggeration to the translation, Zhan Lang added: "If the odds are 100%, his chance of winning is about 50%."

“There were many people who had been suffering from the pain of being runner-up. If you were runner-up at the beginning and then won the championship, it would be called sweetness after bitterness.

But for some people, after winning the championship and tasting the peak, getting runner-up later is the most bitter coptis in the world. I hope you can adapt to the future runner-up life in advance. This world is not just Japanese Go, the era of world Go is coming soon, please be prepared to be the second person. "

After hearing what Fang Yuan translated, Kashima Torajiro just said one sentence and left.

"What did he say?"

"Japanese Go is the world, and I am Japanese Go."

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders when he heard this. Although what the other party said was hurtful, it was indeed the truth.

At least from the perspective of world Go today, Japan's Go strength accounts for at least more than 90 percent of the world's Go strength.

Some people may wonder why no one has ever thought of holding a world championship before. That is because before that, no one thought that anyone other than Japanese chess players could win the world championship.

It is impossible for people from other countries to organize a world competition for the Japanese to win the championship without any hope.

Not to mention that China and South Korea are extremely poor at this time, and no one can afford to spend the money to host the competition.

From Japan's perspective, there wouldn't be much difference between hosting a world competition and hosting a domestic competition. It would just be a matter of inviting two foreigners, which was totally unnecessary.

After all, even if you pull other countries over, they won't even get a sip of the soup, so who will come to support you?

Holding a world amateur competition might be interesting, at least other countries could get some benefit.

World Series?

Just watch our domestic games.

"But judging from the opponent's attitude, I feel that we won't be able to close the game today, and the outcome will be decided in the middle game."

Looking at Kashima Torajiro sitting on the other side, Zhan Lang smiled and said something.

Unlike the absolute calmness of artificial intelligence, humans have something called anger.

Everyone is in a certain area, and they can even fight to the point of deciding the winner.

However, it is precisely because of human irrationality that human Go is more entertaining.

"I'm going to the chess viewing room next door first. There are special treatments for today's finals. Finally, there is a place where I can watch you guys play while I'm doing it. I don't have to sit outside and wait for the results of the game."

Fang Yuan glanced at his watch and saw that the game time was almost up. He said hello, got up and went out. He turned a corner and came to the chess viewing room not far from the competition venue.

But as soon as Fang Yuan entered, he was stunned. There were not many people in this private chess viewing room. Most of them were official personnel, and at most a few reporters.

But there are too many heavyweights in the room today...

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the entire audience.

Except Fujii Hideaki...

Two of Japan's six top-notch universities are here.

Takenouchi Katsuya.

Lin Xiaofeng.

They are all old acquaintances.

An amateur competition actually attracted all these guys?
PS: I almost forgot to report that Tucker led his team to win the Go League A championship. Today, Dingzhu will play against Ichiriki Ryo in the Sino-Japanese Agama Tongshan Cup. Dingzhu has been playing as Japanese fermented bean curd since last year's Asian Games. I don't know how Dingzhu will perform today, but a certain scientist said that Dingzhu will win, and that's all (his previous prediction was that only Xiaoshen would enter the quarterfinals of South Korea, and the previous prediction was that the champion of the Go League would be Hangzhou Longyuan)
