Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 209 208. Staff Group

"Yu Jiao, Mr. Liu, Lu Li 9th Dan."

As soon as he knocked on the door and entered the office, Ying Jie saw three people sitting inside.

Yu Xiaochun, head coach of China's national Go team, is a ninth-dan player.

Liu Lao, president of the Chinese Chess Academy.

The ninth-level Lu Li ranked first in China.

…

It's a bit offensive, but the top people in several fields of Chinese Go are here.

It feels like there's going to be a three-party trial. What's going on?

Looking at Ying Jie who was glancing around as he entered the door, Dean Liu said with a smile: "Sit down, it's not a bad thing."

Seeing Ying Jie sitting down, Dean Liu immediately continued: "First of all, congratulations on breaking the record of being the youngest person to enter the top four of the World Series. Congratulations.

I also hope that you can set a new record as the youngest world champion and leave this record in China. "

When Ying Jie heard this, he just nodded and said similar congratulations. As for himself, he had heard it countless times since he came back yesterday.

These three people who called me over definitely couldn't be talking about this kind of nonsense.

Sure enough, Dean Liu immediately continued: "Calling you here this time is also related to the suggestion I made last time.

You said that following the system of the chess team finals, a staff group will be formed for the chess players in the world competition finals to help the players prepare for the game and provide psychological guidance.

This suggestion is very constructive and we feel it can be adopted after internal discussion.

But it definitely needs to be piloted a little bit. If the effect is good, we can continue to use it.

It just so happened that Lu Li's 9th Dan still had the right to win the finals of the BC Cup in South Korea in the second half of the month, so we decided to use this competition as an experiment.

When we were discussing, Lu Li's ninth-level roll call was to ask you to become a member of the staff group.

Of course, it also depends on your own schedule and whether you are willing or not.

I called you here this time to ask for your opinion. "

Upon hearing this, Ying Jie first raised his glasses that were slightly down.

The suggestion of the Relatives and Friends Staff Group was indeed made by myself.

Because in the previous World Series, players often became out of balance.

For example, Ke did not sleep the night before the first game of the World Series. Although Snail successfully won the first game the next day, Nicole lost the second game, and then Tucker lost the third game. .

Especially when you lose a game, it will be more helpful to adjust your state if you are accompanied by a familiar companion.

Especially before the tiebreaker.

Adjustment assistance in this state is extremely important.

Although the accompanying national team coaches have the same role, most of them are retired professionals and cannot keep up with the thinking of active players. It is difficult to provide some suggestions on chess games.

As for psychological counseling and the like.

The effect of letting the older generation provide psychological counseling to young people.

I can only say that everyone understands the effect.

Ying Jie just mentioned it a little bit, but he didn't expect that the superiors actually accepted it.

And he actually allowed himself to accompany him.

Really good at reading people.

"I don't have a problem, but what kind of identity should I have to go there? Can I apply for a visa myself and go there?"

Generally speaking, if you go to the World Series finals, the organizer will notify and help another country's delegation get a visa, and there will be a fixed number of delegations.

For example, participating team members, delegation leaders, translations, etc.

This system of staff members, relatives and friends is just a proposal that China has not yet formed into a system.

Naturally, it is impossible for South Korea to immediately issue visas for relevant personnel.

There is a high probability that Ying Jie will have to get a private visa to go with him.

Ying Jie didn't care, after all, if he went, his employer would reimburse the round trip expenses, and he would treat it as a free trip.

If you compete on your own, the entry fee for the open competition needs to be paid by the players themselves.

Just like this time after participating in the first stage of the Ying's Cup, Ying Jie successfully entered the semi-finals.

The game fees will be paid directly to other people who are eliminated.

But Ying Jie and others who advanced to the semi-finals have not received a penny so far.

Not only that, but I also spent thousands of dollars on air tickets.

But there is no way, it is an early investment before winning the championship.

I can't bear to pay for the air ticket, and I can't catch the championship prize.

Dean Liu seemed to have already thought about it: "You can go there as a translator, Coach Yu is the leader of the delegation.

Guangyin 9th Dan has flown back and forth between China, Japan and South Korea many times, and he will apply for a visa to follow him there.

He is relatively experienced in this area. One reason is your age, and the other reason is that you have never flown before. If you apply for a visa now, there may be a risk that you will not be able to pass. "

…

Let me, who only knows Assi and Smecta, go there in the name of translator.

You guys are quite good at playing.

Ying Jie didn't even know where to complain.

You might as well make me the head of the delegation.

Yu Xiaochun 9th Duan seemed to notice Ying Jie's worry and said with a smile: "It's okay, Lu Li and I can both speak Korean. When the time comes, we can just use this translator as your translator."

The older generation generally knew Korean and Japanese because the Go players in Japan and South Korea were stronger at that time and they had to communicate and learn from each other.

When chess players of Ying Jie's age have reached it, they can talk a little less.

"So calling you here is mainly to ask for your opinion and ask if you are willing to follow me."

The reason why Dean Liu and the others wanted Ying Jie to come over was not just because Lu Li named him 9th Dan.

It's even more because now Ying Jie has reached the semi-finals of the Ying's Cup, and his opponent in the semi-finals is Cui Ze, who is about the same age as him.

In terms of mutual strength, Ying Jie undoubtedly had the upper hand. In the official match, Ying Jie also led 1:0.

But considering that Ying Jie had only played Banqi once in the Rookie King Battle, and the strength gap between him and his opponent was too big, it was completely a push-over.

Therefore, Ying Jie's formal experience in Banqi can basically be said to be zero.

In order to ensure that Ying Jie can survive the chess competition more stably, and also for the World Series finals that are just around the corner.

The national team also hopes that Ying Jie can join the competition team to experience the atmosphere and related matters of the World Series finals and accumulate experience in advance.

It also laid a relatively solid foundation for Ying Jie to enter the World Series in the future.

After all, there have been many chess players who were very capable and won the world championship, but due to lack of experience in the finals, they were reversed by their opponents.

Ying Jie is at the peak of his momentum at this time, and the national team also hopes that he can maintain this momentum and win the championship directly.

As long as you win the first World Series and have relevant competition experience, even if you lose later, the impact will not be big.

But if you lose the first World Series final, not only will your momentum be interrupted, it may easily cause a psychological shadow.

The chess academy has also worked hard to ensure that Ying Jie's journey to the world championship goes smoothly.

Ps: My colleague is very serious. To be honest, I really can’t find anything in common when watching movies with people of the opposite sex.

But recently I feel like there are still a lot to watch, including Transformers, Spider-Man, and The Flash, but I haven’t watched any of them so far.

NND, none of the free movie tickets issued by my employer have been used yet. They will expire on October 1st. Damn it!
