Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 118 · Fast forward to Japan

The overnight training camp is in full swing.

The initial relaxed and joyful atmosphere was gone.

Everyone's nerves were highly tense, as if time had been pressed on the fast forward button.

You can take a dip in the hot springs occasionally, and don’t even think about going skiing.

"You know, one of the many reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire."

On the third day, Shi Yu was lying in the hot spring pool and asked such a profound question.

"Okay, stop shaking. If you have any cool knowledge you want to show off, please tell me."

Jian Wusheng saw through Shi Yu's intentions.

"Because bathing was so popular in Rome that many of their male citizens lost their fertility, causing eh? Are you ready for it so quickly?"

The two fellow Taoists flashed out of the bath at the speed of light and left without looking back.

This is the last hot spring bath for everyone during the entire training camp.

Day .

The weather is still very cold, and it's snowing outside again. Looking out from the game room, the whole world has a refreshing and beautiful feeling.

It's a pity that such beautiful scenery cannot be enjoyed.

Because the other two main players of the siege team, Jiang Tianqi and Li Chenghuan, also arrived at the scene.

This time the teaching became completely four-on-four, and there was no room for laziness.

"Senior Qiu, please take a rest during this period. You don't have to be tortured by this kid anymore." Jiang Tianqi said in a comforting tone.

"Yeah, let's leave it to us young chess players. Our health is getting better." Li Chenghuan also showed full respect.

Qiu Song was stunned by the respect of these two people.

Obviously, these two Weijia teammates also watched the video of him playing drunken chess and getting fucked.

In their opinion, Senior Qiu was being inhumanely oppressed by his juniors, and he had to have a few young men to help him share the drinking burden.

Zhu Zhechi is really close, right?

I, Nima, have also become an internet celebrity!

On the seventh day, the pace of time is still accelerating.

In addition to the chess players who are busy preparing for the game.

The turmoil in the chess circle also quietly arose.

"Have you heard? Jiang Changhao announced that he will take some time off after the Nongshim Cup is over."

"I didn't expect it. I didn't expect him to have a tiring day, but it's reasonable. I'm afraid President Kim from South Korea wouldn't agree."

"Don't worry, with Jiang Changhao's throne, Jin Jianchao will definitely not be able to stop him."

"No! I do hope that Dean Jin can stop him. It is best to carry forward the spirit of leading a hero to death if he uses it well, and resolutely refuses to give Jiang Changhao a fake license, so that his talent will be polished off!"

"Support! The rise of Chinese Go in recent years is inseparable from Dean Jin's coming to power. If Jiang Changhao can defeat him during his tenure, I will definitely give him a medal weighing one ton!"

While there was a lot of discussion in the chess circle, several people in the dormitory also saw the news.

"Jiang Changhao is going to take a long vacation? Doesn't this mean that these few years are the best opportunity to win the world championship?" The two Taoist friends looked happy.

Today's Jiang Changhao has long passed his peak period. He has won many runner-ups in recent times and has an obvious downward trend.

But he is still considered the biggest obstacle on the road to winning the championship.

When he announced his break, all the chess players must have been very excited, as they finally had a chance to win the artifact!

"What does it matter if people take a break? Do you also want to jump up and touch the knees of the world championship trophy?" Jian Wusheng mocked.

"So that's it. Is this the path choice that Senior Qiu mentioned?" Shi Yu sighed.

He had seen similar things in his previous life.

Carlsen, who has dominated the chess world for nearly ten years, gave up the 2023 World Championship, which finally made Ding Liren a legend.

Unexpectedly, similar things are happening in the field of Go now.

For ordinary chess players, it certainly doesn't matter whether Jiang Changhao rests or not. Anyway, even if there is an extra spot to win, it probably won't be your turn.

But Shi Yu was obviously not an ordinary chess player, so he was ready to take action.

"Let's go, let's continue practicing chess."

Time is still passing quickly.

On the ninth day, the Spring Festival has officially ended.

As the flavor of the new year disappears, the snow also begins to melt.

The golden light of the morning sun reflects on the snow, the entire skyline exudes a warm atmosphere, and the breath of spring is carried in the wind.

I don’t know how many mornings it has risen.

Shi Yu opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling.

After waking up slightly, he opened the curtains and let the light in.

Today is the last day.

In addition to the imminent Japanese Jiji War, another reason is that the game fee paid by Boss Lu is almost used up.

In line with the principle of not working in vain, several main members did not have much interest in continuing to sparring.

After breakfast, we came to the chess room. The other people were already ready and nervously waiting for the start of the battle.

Their chess games were all finished yesterday, and if Shi Yu needs to play a long game, they still have one more day to play.

"Good morning, Senior Qiu, today is our last round."

Qiu Song's expression was particularly ferocious and serious. He stared at Shi Yu from the door to the chessboard and sat upright.

"Have you secretly trained every night?" Qiu Song finally couldn't help but ask.

"No, at most I'll just play chess with Jian Wusheng and the others after the game."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If I had really worked so hard, I would have sent it to WeChat Moments to ask for likes." Shi Yu answered sincerely.

Qiu Song was speechless for a long time.

In the first few days, Qiu Song's performance against Shi Yu was quite impressive, showing his ability as a first-line ninth-dan player.

For a time, he himself thought that the flow of chaos would finally be submerged in the long river of history.

As a result, within a few days, this boy was suddenly able to have sex with him.

It was obvious that it was much more difficult to capture him than the previous few days.

But in the last few days, he actually started to gain the upper hand. This shocked Qiu Song.

After several games, Qiu Song always won half-heartedly without giving up at all.

What's even weirder is that maybe feeling the pressure of Shi Yu's pressing step by step, Qiu Song also began to imitate him consciously or unconsciously.

Imitate those unreasonable moves.

It's actually quite useful

It's like opening the door to a new world.

Could it be that after those who are close to red are red, there is also the saying that those who are close to ink are black?

And then today, no one knows what the outcome will be.

As a 40-year-old chess player, there is basically no room for improvement.

In other words, he is a fixed value, waiting for Shi Yu, the restless unknown, to catch up.

He has long been prepared to be overtaken by geniuses one day, maybe the year after tomorrow, maybe next year, in short it won’t be too long

Who would have thought that it would be more than ten days later!

You are chasing too fast!

Did you really do nothing when you went back, instead of secretly playing chess in your dreams and treating one day as 48 hours?

That's right.

It's almost as efficient as that.

With the help of [Time Hourglass], performing a unique review is much more efficient than 48 hours a day.

What's more, from the perspective of Jue Yi and the comments after the game, many of Qiu Song's shortcomings were also exposed, which are quite easy to deal with.

Oh, no, you can’t use the word nudge, otherwise you won’t be given a visa when you go to Korea in the future.

"If this continues, maybe you can really take down Jingshan Yao in one fell swoop, right?" Qiu Song smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The newcomer who has just been appointed to the top position less than three months ago is already qualified to challenge Japan's number one player. It’s a challenge, if someone writes a novel like this, they will probably be sprayed to death, right?”

Shi Yu also replied cheerfully: "No, it's just that novels can't be written like this, but it's not that reality can't be done like this, don't you think so?"

"You are riding a horse!" Qiu Song's blood pressure surged for an unknown number of times.

Yes, now the word "near red" has a new meaning, referring to blood pressure.

Without any more nonsense, Qiu Song slapped the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Taking this as a signal, the beacon fire in the entire chess room was ignited, and everyone showed the expression of a final battle.

It's time to put an end to this long training camp.

Qiu Song took charge of the black and once again deployed his specialty Chinese style.

Shi Yu was also rude. With his 14th move, he hit the opponent's small eye hard, breaking up the Chinese-style appearance.

I experienced the same start yesterday.

It's fine.

Although I don’t know what kind of adjustments he went through after returning last night, but there is no problem in following the steps.

Is this the power of traditional Go?

No! It’s orthodox Go!

Pushing back and forth, the two sides once again formed a local fierce battle.

Every step is on the same path as yesterday, and no changes can be seen. If there is an audience, they will definitely shout that the boss has changed the disc.

Move 28, break in!

Finally changed his tactics.

Faced with the same situation yesterday, Shi Yu chose to settle down on the spot.

From a hindsight perspective, this is a step back.

Slow-handed refers to an overly conservative approach. Although it is safe and solid, it is easy for the opponent to take advantage of it.

If it is to deal with other people, this method is enough, but to deal with the professional ninth-dan who is on the front line, it is still lacking.

Unless, he takes another sip of fruit wine that is as strong as that time.

Twisting, flying, and crossing, the situation below becomes more and more complicated, and the amount of calculations required is also geometrically doubled, which makes people sweat profusely.

The chess piece is heavy again.

Angry and tight.

There are many breakpoints.

The black and white parties, like Tom and Butch, were wrestling together, and it was almost enough to tie a knot, and it took a long time to untie it.

Qiu Song patted his forehead.

Well, you're a 15-year-old young man, you know you can't beat me in kung fu chess, so you just come to fight randomly, right?

In the past few days, since they were all imitating the long-day system, and with enough time to take long exams, Qiu Song successfully avoided complicated changes and steered the situation in the direction he was good at.

But in this round, he was still careless after all, and he seized the opportunity and was dragged into the whirlpool of chaos.

To be more specific, it means that I was severely pinched!

He was keenly aware of the areas where he was unwilling to give in, and was forced to devote his efforts to fight.

This guy knows me too well!

Move 62, stop eating!

Shi Yu successfully fought for the upper hand and captured these two crucial pieces. He gained a lot in terms of strength and strength.

"Huh." Shi Yu stroked his forehead.

After many days of research and struggle, I finally gained a sufficient advantage in the mid-game stage.

Facts have proved that, as for advantages, mid-range advantages are the most durable.

This set is already difficult to export.

Time seemed to be under a spell of freeze-frame, and Qiu Song fell into a long test under a disadvantageous situation.

The other people also gathered around and quickly realized that Qiu Song was at a huge disadvantage at this moment.

"He is really going to do it, defeat the first-line ninth-dan." Fan Ruoxi said in a low voice.

In the past few days, he has been reviewing Shi Yu's chess records and watching him make little progress.

It is not only an improvement in chess skills, but also a breakthrough in chess style.

Faced with the challenge, the awareness of fighting does not decrease but increases, and he reaches the top step by step.

Even his blood was gradually warming up, as if something deep in his soul that had been stagnant for a long time had revived.

At move 132, Qiu Song surrendered.

"One last piece of advice for you. This is important competition experience. You all have to listen carefully." Qiu Song spoke again as an elder.

"Now you undoubtedly have the opportunity to attack Qi Jihad, but compared to Jingshan, you are still the first to attack. There is only one way to defeat him." Qiu Song took a deep breath.

"Two to zero, win it directly."

"No seal from the start?" Shi Yu was stunned.

You just said that you would be criticized if you wrote it in the novel, but you started to do it right away, right?

"Fanqi challenges are always beneficial to the opponent. Even if you lose the first game, you can quickly adjust back in the second game.

For newcomers, once they lose the second game, their momentum is likely to collapse immediately. Although I think this is unlikely to happen to you.

In short, win Jingshan 2:0 in one breath. This is the best policy I give you. "

"I understand, thank you, Senior Qiu."

The training camp is over.

Young people embark on a new journey.

The four main players in the besieging group also rarely found a common spare time and stepped into the hot spring together.

"It's great! It's a pity that a few young people are not sensible. I have never seen them take a dip in such a good hot spring." Jiang Tianqi raised his head happily.

"No, they were quite diligent at first, but I don't know why they stopped playing later," Qiu Song said.

"Aren't you worried that something might happen to your body if you soak it in the water?

Jiang Tianqi shook his head and laughed:

"Oh, it's just a hot bath. What's going to happen? Do you know why ancient Rome was so civilized? It's because of the hot baths."

He didn't know that he used the same example as Shi Yu and came to the opposite conclusion.

"Ruoxi, you seem to be doing very well. Are you finally able to sleep?" Qiu Song said leisurely.

Fan Ruoxi was stunned.

It seems to be true.

Some time ago, he couldn't sleep no matter what, but since participating in this group activity, he can finally feel the tranquility of the night.

"Did you draw strength from these young people?"

"A little bit, I felt a long-lost love for Go from them, and I felt like I was a kid again." Fan Ruoxi said.

"I dare to play any chess and challenge anyone."

"Really? Then please continue to pay attention to Shi Yu. He will definitely bring you more surprises. The new wave of new generations is coming. Unfortunately, I have no chance to fight with them." Qiu Song sighed.

"Don't say that, Teacher Qiu, you can definitely fight for a few more years." Fan Ruoxi said.

Qiu Song smiled when he heard this and did not answer. He just sighed leisurely: "My story has ended here. There is no chessboard that I can play in the new era."

The night falls into darkness, and another day begins over and over again.

After waking up in the car on the way back, Shi Yu stretched greatly.

"It's time to go to Japan."

　(4000/40000)!

　　Arrive home tomorrow.

　　Damn, this hotel is so cramped that I can't even type on the keyboard.

　　I'm tired of writing this paragraph, so I'll just skip ahead a bit.

　　Abbreviation: abandon-zi-fight-first

　　

　　Thanks to Loui and Zhou Renshu for the 100-yuan reward for Lu Sizhu, and thanks to Omachi Kai for the 100-yuan reward for each of Lu Sizhu, Shi Yu, and this book. Let’s compare our feelings!
