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

Chapter 22 No.20 Second Round Three Provinces Exchange Tournament

A few days ago, Mr. Zhou Zhongxia from the Anhui Provincial Chess Institute approached Tian Minze because Anhui Province, Jiangnan Province, and Jiangxi Province were planning to hold a three-province Go exchange match.

This competition is jointly sponsored by Wan Provincial Newspaper, Jiangnan Cat Factory Internet and Gan Provincial Dajiang Automobile. I hope that the first competition will be well-known.

The popularity of many games is due to the novel competition system or star chess players.

Therefore, the exchange game is modeled on the rules of the China, Japan, and South Korea Three Kingdoms Tournament. Each province will play 5 chess players. They will play in twos and twos. The winner will stay in the next round and play against another group. The next competitor on the team will take the place of the next round.

The rules of the group arena are the easiest to attract the audience, and also the most interesting.

In terms of strength, Anhui Province is the weakest, and Jiangnan Province is the strongest, but the three provinces also have their own nine-dan chess players.

Anhui province originally had Yu Xiaoyang, one of the strongest chess players in the world, but Yu Xiaoyang made his debut in Kyoto, and he was also determined by the chess players in Kyoto, so he was not counted as a chess player in Anhui province.

Now the strongest player in Anhui Province is the rising Xu Hou [-]th Duan, who has ranked well in several title battles.The most famous one is Han Chunyang [-]th Dan, but Han Chunyang is already relatively old among professional chess players. Although he is still active, his strength is not as good as before.

This time Han Chunyang served as the main general and Xu Hou served as the deputy general.

All provinces are looking for star chess players, so Anhui Province has put some thought into the position of Pioneer, and offered to propose five players, and Pioneer will play an undecided young chess player.

So Mr. Zhou found Tian Minze, just for Tian Minze to play as a vanguard. He has traffic and looks like a dark horse in strength.

Tian Min readily agreed, he was worried that he would not have any chess to play, and now there is a game coming to his door, it would be great if he could earn some points.

"Oh," Mr. Zhou said with emotion, "I am confident that the vanguard can take advantage, but the second team requires amateur chess players. The amateur chess players in our province are of average level. I really don't know where to find them."

Tian Min thought for a while, and recommended a candidate, "Mr. Zhou, I heard that there is an amateur chess player named Long Yan, who seems to be in our province, and his strength is extremely high. I recommend him."

After receiving Tian Minze's information, the Anhui Provincial Chess Academy found Long Yan to play, and Long Yan was also very happy to participate in the competition.Tian Min and Long Yan also played a few games in private, and they were really strong. It was very difficult for him to win without using the AI.

It's a pity that such players don't have the opportunity to play professional Go.

For such a commercial competition, his mother sent a lawyer to take full responsibility for Tian Minze's appearance fee.In the end, it was negotiated that the entry fee was 2W, which can be obtained regardless of whether you win or not.The appearance fee for each round is 1, and if you win more than one game, except for the first game, you will get an extra 1 for each additional game.

When the lawyer appeared in front of Tian Minze with the contract, Tian Minze was a little surprised, when did he become so valuable.

"Hello, I'm Lv Jing, a lawyer who graduated from Wan Province University of Economics and Law," the visitor introduced himself.

This lawyer is about 27 or [-] years old, a pretty girl with long hair, who seems to have just graduated.

"Your mother, Ms. Zhang, hired me for you before. From today, I will officially serve as your Go agent." Lu Jing took out the contract between her and Tian Minze's mother.

"The contract lasts for four years. When you become an adult, you can choose whether to renew the contract. I will take 10% of your competition bonus before tax; I will take 15% of your advertising endorsement and commercial activities before tax. [-]%, plus daily expenses. At the same time, I will handle your finances for you, and I will be responsible for your large expenses."

"Of course I will keep it secret, including your mother has no right to know your consumption."

Lu Jing took out a mobile phone and handed it to Tian Minze, "This is your commercial mobile phone, it is only used for you to communicate with me, and to carry out external activities."

Tian Min shook his head. Sure enough, his mother's business thinking was still strong.

"This Sunday night, the Three Provinces Chess Institute will hold the opening ceremony of the exchange game at the same time. I will pick you up then. Remember to get ready and wear formal attire for the dinner," Lu Jing reminded.

……

Therefore, Tian Min invited Lin Miaomiao to attend the dinner at the Anhui Provincial Chess Academy.

Originally, Lin Dawei didn't want to agree to what he said, but Lu Jing said from the side, "Xie Weizhou, the principal of Elite High School, will also participate in this dinner."

One sentence moved Wang Shengnan, and he nodded in agreement.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when the high school entrance examination ended, and Tian Min stood guard at the entrance of the examination room early. Lin Miaomiao walked out of the examination room with brisk steps, "Minze, I think I did very well in the exam. It seems that I have done most of the questions. It's great."

Most of the exams depend on how you feel, Tian Min heard Lin Miaomiao say this, and finally let go of his hanging heart, stretched out his hand and pinched Lin Miaomiao's little face, "Then it's finally time to be free."

Lin Miaomiao reached out to pat Tian Minze's mischievous hand away, and rolled her eyes at him.

When Lu Jing saw Lin Miaomiao, she shook her head lightly, "This dress is not acceptable, let's go, let's go somewhere first."

Then, Tian Minze sat bored in a private image studio for 2 hours, and it was almost dark before Lin Miaomiao reappeared in front of Tian Minze.

Stunning!

This was the only word that flashed in Tian Minze's mind.

At this moment, it seemed that Lin Miaomiao's image overlapped with that star girl from another world, and Tian Min couldn't believe it for a while.

"What's the matter?" Tian Minze stared at her, Lin Miaomiao felt a little unnatural, and stretched out her hand to gently cover the chest of her dress.

A white dress showed the girl's beautiful swan neck. The girl who had never worn an evening dress seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Miaomiao, you are so beautiful today," Tian Min praised, "I was at a loss for words for a while."

The girl's long hair was taken care of by the stylist and scattered on her shoulders. The black framed glasses were also taken off and contact lenses were put on.

Lin Miaomiao looked at herself in the mirror, standing next to Tian Minze in a suit and leather shoes, feeling shy like never before.

Tian Min also had a handsome hairstyle today, and the makeup artist painted some eye makeup for him to give him a different look.

Coupled with her taller figure than her peers, standing next to Lin Miaomiao is very masculine.

Lin Miaomiao only felt her heart beating faster, as if she had never thought of such a scene.

"Miaomiao can practice high-heeled shoes in the future," Attorney Lu Jing suggested from the side, "But this time, just to be on the safe side, just wear a pair of flat shoes."

Tian Min lowered his head. On the girl's white and tender feet under the skirt, she was wearing a pair of light blue flat shoes. A few simple ribbons were tied around the girl's ankle, making her look even more youthful and elegant.

Lu Jing also looked at the two with satisfaction, "A good image can add points to your Go career, so from today onwards, every time you attend a formal occasion, remember to take care of yourself."

Before the event started, there were already many reporters standing by the entrance of the Chess Academy to take pictures. Tian Min and Lin Miaomiao got out of the car together.

There were continuous shutter sounds, and Lu Jing signaled the two of them to take the initiative to stop for a while, giving the reporter time to take pictures.
