A national winner!
For a while, Qin Weiyang and Wu Yueyue were all a little shocked.
They didn't expect that the Oasis Club's hand would be so big, and a referee would be arranged at random, who was the former national champion and a professional eight-dan chess player.
The highest level of Go is the 9th dan, and the 8th dan is obviously the second highest level of existence.
As laymen, they don't know that under the current rank system, eight or nine ranks are not very valuable.
If it was the Fuso shogunate era, in the same era, there could only be one nine dans, and the status of the nine dans was naturally supreme, and the gold content of the eight dans was also extremely high.
But now, as long as you get the corresponding title, the chess academy will automatically grant a certain rank.
This has led to the fact that now there are nine dans walking all over the ground, and there are more than eight dans like dogs.
In the regular game, the eight-dan player faces the two-dan and three-dan player, and there is no certainty of victory.
Now there are many domestic competitions, and some low-level competitions cannot attract the best chess players, and the gold content of the championship will not be too high.
Of course, a champion is a champion, and having won the national championship can at least prove that this referee belongs to the ranks of domestic stalwarts in his peak, at least he can be ranked in the top twenty or thirty.
Such a chess player is naturally qualified to judge the level of Cao Han's Go, and his judgment can definitely be used as the most authoritative determination.
Seeing that his name suppressed those people, the referee's heart was also slightly proud.
It is true that the reason why he came to Oasis Club to be a referee can show that he is very bad at the moment.
However, others will not know this, he is still a national champion after all, and if he says it, he will have the weight of a champion!
"Cao Han, this young man is very strong in chess, I know that he has been for some years, and it is indeed a pity that he has not embarked on the road of a professional chess player, and it is also a loss for Huaxia Go!" said the referee.
That's a very important thing to say.
You must know that there are hundreds of professional chess players in China, and there are nearly 100 people who have not yet matured and declined.
Among these nearly 100 people, except for the top few, the others are not indispensable.
Even, even the top super-first-class masters, who are frequent visitors to the finals of the World Series, and who are often able to win the championship and win glory for the country, are indeed very important to the current Chinese Go community, but they may not be able to be worthy of the referee's sentence.
If a person does not learn Go, there will naturally be others to make up for it, there have been so many masters in Chinese history, they have retired one by one, and it has not made Go impossible to pass on.
If you really want to say that not learning chess is a loss of Chinese Go, the ancient Huanglongshi Fan Xiping Shi Xiangxia may barely be able to be counted, and in contemporary times, only Nie Weiping and Nie Lao can afford such an honor.
Nie Lao won an astonishing eleven consecutive victories in the Huaxia Fusang Go Tournament, and single-handedly defeated the Fusang Liuchao, which dominated the world chess world, shocking the whole world and setting off a trend of learning Go in China.
It can be said that he is the founder of modern Go in China.
Without him, Huaxia would not have such a large Go population, and without such a large Go population, it would be impossible to produce so many Go masters.
Not to mention anything else, in Huaxia, there are many people who don't know how to play chess and don't understand the rules of Go, but a large part of these people have at least heard of the name Nie Weiping.
That's how his influence has gone beyond Go itself.
Therefore, Nie Weiping definitely deserves the sentence that if he didn't embark on the road of a professional chess player, it would be the loss of Huaxia Go.
But Cao Han, why is he on a par with Nie Lao?
Regarding the referee's judgment, even Li Jie and Huang Zhongtian do not agree with it so much.
But no one dared to contradict him.
After all, among all the people here, everyone else is a layman, and only this referee is a real expert, and he can be regarded as a master.
"I look at you, you seem to be a little unconvinced. The referee looked around.
Indeed, although everyone did not dare to refute him, their expressions were full of disbelief.
"Okay, I know you don't really understand this game, so I'll tell you about it. โ
The referee continued to lay out the pieces on the board as he spoke.
It has been a long time since Lu Fan and Cao Han started to play, and dozens of chess pieces have been placed on the chessboard.
In this game, Cao Han did not choose a conventional star position or a small goal, but chose a three-three corner, which is enough to prove that he has full personal thinking on the chessboard, does not follow the crowd, and does not stick to the formula. โ
The referee praised Cao Han's start.
Because modern Go emphasizes the importance of mid-game operations, the star position or small-purpose angle occupation method is more conducive to mid-game operations than three-three, so most of the current openings will not choose three-three.
This also made what could have been a relatively regular start unpopular.
However, Cao Han unexpectedly chose an unpopular opening, which shows that he has a very deep study of this opening, and it also shows that he is very confident in himself, and he believes that no matter what opening he uses, he can achieve the desired effect.
"However, since most people choose that small purpose of the opening, doesn't it prove that this kind of opening is better? There are good openings that are not used but are not very common, which shows that Cao Han's level is not enough!" Wu Yueyue asked a little unconvinced.
She felt that the referee's speech was too biased.
It's obviously an incommonly used method, and you've been touted as invincible, which is too much.
"What do you know?" the referee glanced at Wu Yueyue with disdain.
"What's important about whether it's common or not? The key is whether you can get the results you want with such an opening!"
"Did Cao Han get the result he wanted?" Qin Weiyang asked.
At this moment, the big screen in the viewing room showed that Cao Han took another step.
"Wonderful!" the referee slapped his thigh and screamed.
If just now, he was not sure whether Cao Han had an advantage, after all, there was really no advantage at the beginning of the three-three.
But now, with this trick, he can already be sure that Cao Han's start is indeed very thoughtful.
"Look at this, as soon as this move is made, the situation of this game of chess is slowly becoming clear!"
The referee was on the chessboard in the research room, and he also put down the step that Cao Han had just taken.
Qin Weiyang and the others all surrounded them.
