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

Chapter 164 Chapter 160
Chess Holy War, as the only title match regularly held in Kyoto, has a significantly different meaning to the Chinese Chess Academy.

Last time Kuwahara defeated Yu Xiaoyang and successfully defended his title, which made the title of Chess Master very interesting.

In terms of prize money, the highest prize is the "Great Chess Tournament", with a prize money of 150 million yuan, which stands out among the others; in terms of long history, the "Tianyuan Tournament", which has the longest number of events held, is already the 28th session.

But when it comes to the highest-standard Go title match, it is undoubtedly a "chess holy war" in China. After all, the title of chess master represents the reverie of too many people in the Go world.

Chess holy wars have always been unpopular competitions. Tian Min and Shen Yilang both entered the semi-finals of the chess holy war, which made many chess fans exclaim that the newcomers are coming fiercely.

Shen Yilang's opponent is Fang Xu's [-]th dan, while Tian Min's opponent is again his most familiar chess player, Yu Xiaoyang's [-]th dan.

Masters and apprentices face new stars!

If Fang Xu [-]th Duan and Yu Xiaoyang [-]th Duan reach the final, it will be another master-student duel.

On the contrary, if Shen Yilang and Tian Min reach the final, it will undoubtedly mean that the new generation of chess players has completely seized the commanding heights, and all the previous generation of chess players will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

Shen Yilang's match took the lead in the Chinese Chess Academy, and the winner was determined in one game.

Tian Min did not get up early in the morning, instead he slept until he woke up naturally, and only appeared in the spectator room in the afternoon. Kuwahara was also watching the match today. When he saw Tian Min, he walked in and asked with a smile, "Our world champion is here. Guess who has the advantage now?"

"No need to guess," Tian Min said casually, "I don't think Fang Xu's ninth dan has a chance!"

The crowd looked at Tian Minze in surprise, and Yu Liang also raised his head, his eyes flickering with doubts.

"Because", Tian Min looked around, paused and said, "We play Go differently!"

One sentence made everyone ponder, but they didn't take it seriously. After all, anyone can speak big words. Although Shen Yilang has already had the upper hand in this game of chess, a game of chess can't explain anything.

On the contrary, Kuwahara was excited, "You are right, I also feel that Ichiro has made great progress now, as if he has entered another Go world.

As Kuwahara's internal disciple, Shen Yilang knew Kuangyuan's strength best.

Tian Min nodded proudly. Ever since Shen Yilang devoted himself to the study of AI Go, he seemed to be the player who had the fastest comprehension and the most improvement.

Future research shows that since the human Go champion was defeated by AI, the number of innovative and excellent methods in the game between human players has increased dramatically, and the emergence of AI has improved the overall level of Go.

Under the guidance of AI, the decision-making quality of human Go players has continued to rise to a new level.

A group of chess players headed by Tian Min are confirming this point.

Soon the results of the game came out, and it took only three hours and 10 minutes. Fang Xu ended up in a disastrous defeat and conceded in the middle game. Tian Minze and Yu Liang hugged them excitedly.

"Minze, Xiaoliang, I know, I'm making progress too", Shen Yilang was so excited that some words didn't express his meaning.

Tian Min patted Shen Yilang on the back, "That's right, Yilang, you've been improving."

Shen Yilang grinned and said, "I also entered the finals of the title match. For me, this is the first step to catch up with you."

The three of them drank a little wine at night and chatted while drinking. Yu Liang finally couldn't help but said, "Minze, can I also join your discussion group?"

Tian Min smiled, "Of course you are welcome. In the future, Yu Lijun will send you the time for the weekly seminars. Lijun will be in charge of organizing the seminars for the time being."

Yu Liangliang nodded, his eyes lit up, he also wanted to know the secret of other people's progress.

The battle between Tian Min and Yu Xiaoyang is known as the battle for hegemony in the domestic Go world. Every time it is another re-evaluation of the No.1 domestic Go, it is naturally extremely popular.

Moreover, in the waiting room of the semi-finals, Tian Minze's remarks were revealed to the media, and soon became fermented. Naturally, this statement could not get the support of chess fans.

But all of a sudden, the attention of the second semi-final has increased by a few points.

Tian Min once wondered if the organizer of the chess jihad disclosed his remarks to the media.

Yu Xiaoyang was used to this kind of extremely hot competition, and when he took his seat again, he couldn't help sighing, "Minze, maybe what you said is right, I might really be at the end of my career."

Tian Min raised his head in surprise, it turned out that Yu Xiaoyang was about to retire at this time.

The world championship that should have been won by him this year has become Yu Liang's by accident, which makes Yu Xiaoyang even more disheartened.

In the domestic title battle, Yu Xiaoyang has also lost most of the titles, and he has also suffered repeated defeats.

In the Challenger League of the Celebrity Tournament in the original time and space, Yu Xiaoyang announced his retirement, which will be at the beginning of next year.

And now Yu Xiaoyang has begun to want to leave the professional arena.

Tian Min couldn't help but pay attention to it. This game was the last glimpse of a master, and he wanted to play it even more excitingly.

Yu Xiaoyang looked at Tian Minze, as if admiring his youthful demeanor, "Minze, the future Chinese chess world is still in the hands of you and Yu Liang's generation of chess players. I hope you will create greater glories."

"Teacher Yu, please play this game of chess well," Tian Min said sincerely, "Let me feel the mystery of your Xiaofei again."

Yu Xiaoyang grabbed the pieces and signaled Tian Min to guess first.

Tian Min guesses first and wins, and plays black first.

Tian Min started the game with Xingxiaomu, and Yu Xiaoyang also responded with Xingxiaomu.

Afterwards, the black chess hangs the corner, and Yu Xiaoyang directly plays with one hand and two high clips. If the black chess flies wildly, it will become the famous Muramasa Demon Sword play.

However, Tian Min once again made a strange change, and directly played a huge fly, which made Yu Xiaoyang smile bitterly. This chess move is extremely open, and it has the characteristics of Tian Minze's layout.

But Yu Xiaoyang didn't show any flaws. After Jianming made a "reliable" move, several consecutive moves made the white chess's shape extremely neat.

Neat chess shape means not giving the opponent any openings, this is Yu Xiaoyang's way of dealing with Tian Min's chess style.

Tian Min is the most praised, undoubtedly the "Wait for the Spoon", which is extremely aggressive and oppressive. It is a fighting idea that constantly creates unfamiliar situations for the opponent to force the opponent to make mistakes.

At this time, Tian Min saw that his opponent responded well, turned his head and took off the first, directly hung up from the four lines below, and then jumped up with the white chess. This is a somewhat retro classic layout.

Playing this chess move is undoubtedly a means for black to simply take advantage of external momentum and obtain borrowing.

Yu Xiaoyang also began to judge the situation of the two sides' levy, and whether the black chess had already started to levy Tesuji.
