Soul of Chess: Buy the chessboard from Shi Guangjia at the beginning of the game

Chapter 12 No.12 New Year's Chess Game
When the Spring Festival came, Tian Min was in a small county in the south of Anhui Province.

On a wooden table with a sense of age in the yard, Tian Min spread out a plastic cloth chessboard, with black and white interlaced on it, it was a handicap game between Tian Min and the village uncle.

When Tian Minze's father, Tian Jiangfei, came over to ask the two of them to have dinner, the chess game was almost over, "Oh, Minze has improved a lot. I remember last year he let me have two pawns, and we can play one more. This year I have four pawns. He is no match at all, this kid must be promising!"

After finishing speaking, he saw his little cousin Tian Ye running from behind, and Uncle Tian Min couldn't help being furious, seeing how his child was not pleasing to the eye, "You little bastard, I can't let you study, you can't do anything well, in the future What can you do, it's just a dawdling life!"

This may be the country dilemma.

Just now when he heard other people praise his child, Tian Jiangfei also stretched out his hand and touched the top of Tian Minze's head, "He is still far away. I heard that professional chess players must pass the sprint competition. There are 600 players in the country every year. Many people participate, 12 rounds of competition, many people may not be able to make it to the stage after a few years."

Tian Min found that his father still cared about him a lot. After all, he was a noob in Go before, but now he knows everything about the sprinting game.

"Don't worry," Tian Min comforted, "I still have some confidence. But you can work hard on your career. If you don't succeed then, I can only come back to do business."

"Haha", Tian Jiangfei was not angry, "If you don't succeed, you can go abroad to study in a university. Your mother and I are both graduates of Wanzhou University of Science and Technology. If you can't go to a university, we must have failed too much."

Tian Min smiled, but did not speak.

The New Year started with the sound of firecrackers, and Tian Min also took the video of setting off fireworks in the county town to Lin Miaomiao. After all, it has been many years in Luzhou that setting off fireworks in the urban area has not been allowed.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help being envious, "Ah, Minze, take me back next year for Chinese New Year, and I'll go to your place to play too, it's too boring to stay in Luzhou City!"

Tian Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so Lin Miaomiao is a carefree girl, otherwise this statement is a bit strange.

"Lin Miaomiao, what are you talking about there? Hurry up and help with the work!"

Soon Wang Shengnan's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it seemed that Lin Miaomiao's unreliable quotations were taken seriously by her.

The first official game held by the Huaxia Chess Academy during the New Year was the National Youth Go Final, which was held on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Tian Min arrived in Kyoto two days in advance after a press conference with Bai Chuan and Wang Rui.

Although it is not the first time to come to Kyoto, Tian Min still likes the feeling of a big city. Kyoto, Magic City, and the Southern Demon City, Bird City, in Tian Min's mind, are all better than his hometown Luzhou many places.

Before the game started, reporter Wang Rui received several phone calls, and the conversation sounded a little aggrieved.

"Minze, you have to play hard in this competition. You must know that the top three in the National Youth Competition can become special invitees in addition to the normal quota for sprinting."

"Oh?" Tian Min asked curiously.

As the only way for teenagers to enter the professional arena, the sprint competition is very particular about the allocation of places. Most of them in each province are between 10-25, depending on the development level of Go.

But there are also exceptions. The annual Evening News Cup Youth Competition Champion and the top three in the National Youth Competition, as well as players specially invited by Huaxia Chess Academy, do not occupy the quota of each province.

"So, as far as I know, the other three chess players who are competing with you are chess players who are specially trained by major chess academies to compete for youth amateur championships." Wang Rui talked angrily for a long time.

Tian Min knew very well that these three players were not amateurs in the true sense, but non-staff members of the chess academy.

Practice chess in the chess academy, but do not register, just to participate in the competition and earn extra places.

These people are definitely the young "hardcore chess players" of various chess academies.

In this world, local chess academies are in charge of youth training, Weijiaweiyi is in charge of professional chess players in professional leagues, and the National Chess Academy is in charge of the selection of domestic and international competitions as an organizer.

From bottom to top, naturally every link will be rolled up unconsciously.

In order to protect the right of young chess players to receive education, theoretically, chess players under the age of 14 cannot join the local chess academy.

Since it is expressly stipulated that the age is 14 years old, then various chess academies hold some training camps, use the so-called spare time in advance to train some young chess players, and do not register, which is naturally not a violation.

In terms of rules, everyone has a thorough understanding.

So even if the three people from Anhui Province knew about it, there was nothing they could do. After all, there had never been a real amateur chess player in this competition.

Wang Rui kept pacing in the room, "I want to write a report first, the title is "Amateur chess players are not amateurs, who will guarantee the education of teenagers under the introspection"."

"Very good," Tian Min gave a thumbs up, "You are worthy of being the ace reporter of the Anhui Provincial Chess Institute."

The more ambiguous and indignant something is, the easier it is to attract the attention of the world.

In fact, Wang Rui's report was also biased, but it caused a sensational impact, especially the media in Anhui Province followed up with the report, which put the organizers under great pressure.

The Huaxia Chess Academy had to issue a statement, saying that the qualifications of the four players are all in line with the requirements. At the same time, it is worthy of respect for every young player to reach the top four. I hope that the media reporters can give Chinese young players a better look. Growth Environment.

At the same time, it is also announced that in the future, the situation of off-campus training camps and off-campus training reported by registered chess institutes will be strictly reviewed, and corresponding management requirements will be issued as soon as possible.

In such a chaotic situation, the semi-finals of the Youth Go Tournament kicked off.

In the lottery, two Kyoto chess players were drawn together, so that his opponent was Liao Kai from Modu.

After a round of adding points, Tian Min increased the layout and middle game to 50, and added Zhigu to 50, spending 40 points, and then spent 15 points to learn the corresponding three courses.

Once again, he was reminded by the system in his sleep. The teacher who appeared this time was Bai Ziqiu simulated by AI.

Personal comprehensive chess strength 53 (amateur), layout 50, middle game 50, official chess 58, calculation 53, overall situation view 46, strength 65, solitary governance 50, master hand 50.

27 points remaining.

When Tian Min sat opposite Liao Kai, he suddenly found that his opponent seemed to be greatly influenced by media reports.

"The system prompts that the opponent's chess strength is 69, the current state: absent-minded, and the chess strength is reduced by 5%. The actual chess strength is 65, and the overall evaluation is very challenging! This game is worth 15 points."

A chess player who has been affected, but can still be regarded highly by the system. At the beginning of the game, Liao Kai proved to Tian Min with facts that he is a strong opponent.
