Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 12 ·This chess game means my back is sore and I have to hold on to the wall while walking.
  Compared with the grass-roots team competition in Dingcheng, the competition in Puhai City is obviously more formal.

At least the venue is not a welfare center for retired cadres, but a serious hotel. The red carpet is spread from the door to the lobby, and there are waiters in suits and ties everywhere.

In this era where Go is very popular, this configuration is just right.

"Shi Yu, come on! I must be worthy of your efforts during this time!"

Teacher Bi watched Shi Yu enter the arena, shouting and waving.

Although Shi Yu repeatedly emphasized that he could participate in the competition alone, he couldn't hold back Teacher Bi's high morale and insisted on accompanying him as a guardian.

On the surface, what he said was that he couldn't let a 14-year-old kid run that far alone. In fact, Shi Yu understood that it was just that the teacher couldn't sit still and wanted to witness all this with his own eyes.

Shi Yu also waved and walked into the main entrance of the hotel.

Under the magnificent crystal chandelier, neat chess boards were laid out one by one, and the players took their seats one by one.

On the surface, this place is as quiet as a library. In fact, the psychological game is already going on vigorously before the chess game begins.

Everyone is quietly sizing up their opponents with their peripheral vision to judge their strength.

A slightly more outgoing chess player can simply ask his opponent directly how good he is.

However, these are trivial tricks.

The real advanced tactic is to chat in the pre-game chat stream, chatting with the opponent nonchalantly, pretending to be polite and weak, to make the opponent lower their vigilance.

Especially in the first game of the game, this tactic was particularly effective.

Because in the first game, everyone is often not in the state yet, and it is easy to be paralyzed by the opponent's few words, and one can be overwhelmed by four or two without paying attention.

"Brother, how long have you been learning chess?"

The person sitting opposite Shi Yu asked kindly, with a bright face.

What, the pre-game chat stream just came out?
  Shi Yu glanced at the name tag on the table and learned that the school this person belonged to was Puhai Qiutong Middle School, and his surname was Huang.

"A year or so."

"Did you get a rank?"

"I haven't decided on a rank yet, but Yihu is currently at 7th rank."

Shi Yu answered very honestly, and there was no fault in his expression.

There is one thing to say, and this is the truth.

The reason why I haven't reached 9th Dan yet is because I don't have time.

Every time I go home from school and click on the speed match, I will be invited to play by my chess friend who was at level 6 not long ago. I play until I go to bed, and there is no time to play promotion matches.

I have to say that playing chess with Ye 6 is very exciting.

Even though I was bathed in the aura of [Learning Hourglass], after playing several games of chess, my head was dizzy and my waist was sore that I had to hold on to the wall to walk.

As for the winning rate, it’s not bad.

It’s probably upwards of 6%, not too much.

Upon hearing that his opponent was only at the level of Yihu 7, Huang tried his best to conceal his happiness and pretended to be approving:

"That's already pretty impressive. In reality, you have to be at an amateur 4-dan level, right?"

Shi Yu: "It's almost the same. Remember to be merciful later."

Classmate Huang: "What a shame, why are you being so modest? I'm pointing fingers at you and showing mercy."

After chatting and laughing, the game officially started.

After nodding to each other, the sound of chess pieces falling came and went.

Yu Kejiuduan received full courtesy as soon as he got out of the car. The chairman of Puhai Go Association personally invited him into the house to watch around.

"Teacher Yu, in addition to promoting the development of our youth Go career, this competition has another purpose. I hope you can listen." The chairman of the association said with a smile.

"He must be Yao Qunshan's son, I already know it." Yu Ke sighed.

Yao Qunshan is a well-known sponsor of Coal Boss in the Go circle. He loves playing chess, but hates losing even more.

The professional chess players who played coaching chess with him had to work hard to achieve half-eye output, which not only satisfied Boss Yao's vanity, but also kept it from being too fake.

If you accidentally beat him, you will inevitably get a hard look, or even be owed the match fee on purpose. Although his reputation is not very good, his youngest son Yao Yuhang is said to be very talented. He was assigned 4 pieces to beat the professional chess player at a very young age.

In this league, Yao Qunshan is the largest sponsor, but this time he made a small request, hoping that Yu Kejiu Dan can come to the scene to see what his son's level is.

Yu Ke is a sensible person and of course he knows what it means.

"Teacher Yu, what do you think? Are you willing to take Yao Yuhang under your sect and teach him all you have to do as a disciple?"

Yu Kejiu shook his head.

"This classmate Yao is now 15 years old and has already passed the golden age of playing chess.

What's more, I've also read his chess records. He has a certain level of skill, but he is irritable and indecisive at key points.

This kind of chess player cannot be a winner. "

For a dojo teacher like Yu Ke whose mission is to train world champions, age is a big threshold.

Sure enough, the young chess player who uses "Go Boy" as his avatar is more in line with my wishes.

"We'll discuss this later. Let's talk about chess first."

Accompanied by people from left and right, Yu Ke walked into the banquet hall on the seventh floor of the hotel, which had been transformed into an explanation room. Many people were sitting below, waiting for the chess game to be explained.

Most of these people are parents of students, and they are the only ones who care about their children's performance in competitions.

Of course, there are also training teachers such as Teacher Bi. If their students' chess games can be explained on a big chessboard and they win, it will be a very good advertising effect.

The moment Yu Kejiu entered the banquet hall, the flash lights clicked on. Both parents and teachers were happy to say hello to this respected senior in the chess world.

After handing his coat to his assistant, Yu Kejiu came to the big chessboard, picked up the magnet chess pieces and placed them on the big chessboard.

In the first game, it was natural to explain Yao Yuhang's set, otherwise he would not give face to the sponsors.

Half an hour has passed since the start of the chess game. It is the moment when the battle in the middle game is in full swing, and the explanation of a game of chess is often carried out at this time.

"In move 77, Yao Yuhang held black and won by slaying the dragon in the middle game."

Yu Ke placed the last chess piece.

The process was surprisingly short.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Although the Go level of middle schools in Puhai City is generally high, they will always encounter bad fish and rotten shrimps in the first round. The battle often breaks down at the first touch, and the pieces are thrown at the speed of light.

As expected, Yao Yuhang is indeed very good, at least he is very ruthless against opponents of this level.

"It's still early, let's talk about it again." The assistant suggested.

Yu Ke agreed, drank some water to moisten his throat, casually took a chess record from his assistant, and browsed it at the speed of light.

"Huh? Why does this chess move look so familiar?"

Yu Kejiu-dan almost choked on a sip of water.

　Thanks to Tan Bei for the 1000 reward, and thanks to "Funeral Song Under the Sky" for the 2000 reward. Let's compare our feelings.

　　Today's "Go Diary"

　　Speaking of this pre-game chat stream, labor and management have been fooled.

　　It was a competition in a provincial capital city, and the competition location was a primary school.

　　My opponent A in the first round suddenly started chatting with me in front of the chessboard. He asked me how long I had been learning chess and how many stages I had. I said I played chess at level 2.

　　At that time, Yicheng's rank was very valuable. After hearing this, he said that you are so good and he started to brag about it.

　　Then I fell.

　　In the next two rounds, I defeated my opponent B.

　　It turns out that opponent B and opponent A are in the same chess club, and B's strength is even higher than A's.

　　Hearing that B was being raped by me, A looked surprised and said to B: "What? You can't even get under him?"

　　I said it in front of the employees.
