Chapter 512: Preliminary Round
Han Shengqi smiled slightly: "It's just a fluke!"
Tan Kaixuan shook his head and said: "This is not a fluke, just now you said that you want to defeat Alex, and you still feel a little arrogant, now it seems that I am afraid that you really have the chess strength to challenge Alex." ”
Although the speed of solving the endgame is fast, it does not mean that Han Shengqi's chess strength is high, but Han Shengqi was able to solve the endgame in less than five minutes, which shows that his chess strength level is indeed extraordinary.
Yizhu smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, I originally wanted to challenge you, but now it seems that I am not your opponent!"
Han Shengqi said: "The speed of solving the endgame does not mean the level of chess strength. ”
Yizhu smiled: "Having said that, you can solve the endgame in five minutes, which shows that you are indeed better than me." ”
Han Shengqi smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Although Han Shengqi has not seen Yizhu's current chess strength, whether it is Yizhu or Tan Kaixuan, Han Shengqi has the confidence to win, if these two people can't be defeated, what can we talk about defeating Alex?
Half an hour later
Alex picked up the microphone: "However, I didn't expect all of you to solve your own endgame, but it also disappointed me, the fastest took three minutes, and the slowest took half an hour." ”
A white man smiled coldly: "Alex, isn't the three-person clock still good?"
"Think you're awesome in three minutes?" Alex smiled coldly, "With my current chess strength, I can solve these endgames in one minute!"
Hearing that Alex can crack the endgame in one minute, everyone is very surprised, although the speed of solving the endgame does not mean the level of chess strength, but in general, the faster the speed of solving the endgame, it is indeed the level of chess strength, although everyone knows that this Alex is indeed very powerful, but I really didn't expect to be able to crack the endgame in one minute.
The white man sneered and said, "I really think that if you solve the endgame quickly, your chess strength will be great, hum, Alex, let's divide the chess field into high and low!"
"I can't imagine that you still want to compete with me?" Alex said indifferently, "To be honest, if it weren't for this task given to me by the school, I really wouldn't have the heart to compete with you at all, do you really think you can win me?" ”
Alex's words made everyone angry.
Today's gathering of thirty-two people ended up unhappily, all because Alex was too arrogant.
Back at the hotel, Han Shengqi washed and fell asleep, tomorrow's game is about to start, Han Shengqi did not stay up late to hone his chess skills, now he still has to take care of his spirit and meet tomorrow's game in the best condition.
On the second day, Han Shengqi and his mentor Pang Longjun went to Hilton College together, although there was no audience outside the school, but there were a lot of people from Hilton College, and now the venue of the competition is also crowded.
The 32 contestants are all top players from all over the world, and it is destined that this competition will definitely be exciting.
Because the thirty-two people are all masters, this competition was not played at the same time, but each game was held separately, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, and the sixteen matches in the first round of the preliminary round were divided into four days.
This was followed by the Hilton Academy's host, who acted as the host for the beautiful students, announcing the rules of the competition, and then the computer drew lots to decide the respective opponents.
Fortunately, Han Shengqi's luck was not bad enough to meet Alex in the first game, nor did he meet the four people in Yizhu's mouth except Alex, the opponent in this first game was a white man from Lao Mao Country, Ned Kinsey.
Yizhu and Tan Kaixuan's luck was not bad, and they didn't meet those five masters.
I don't know if someone from Hilton College cheated, but the first game of this round was Alex's game.
Alex's opponent is also a British player, Claude Garland.
Claude couldn't help but gloomy when he saw that his opponent was Alex, Claude was the number one Go master in their school, but he also knew that he was by no means Alex's opponent.
In this competition, I am afraid that the first game will be eliminated.
Of course, even if he knew that he was going to lose, he would not take the initiative to admit defeat, no matter what, he was the first day of the school, and he came to participate on behalf of the school, so he naturally would not do anything according to the competition.
Han Shengqi's match against Ned Kinsey is the second match of the day, which is also a good thing for Han Shengqi, and he also hopes to finish the match early and return to the hotel to continue honing his chess skills after qualifying.
The match between Yizhu and Tan Kaixuan was on the fourth day, and both of them were on the fourth day, the penultimate game and the penultimate game respectively.
Alex and Crowder took to the court.
Alex looked at Claude with a bored expression: "I didn't expect the first game to be you, it's so boring, Claude Garan, you know how strong I am, you better admit defeat, there is no need to continue this boring game." ”
Claude already knew what Alex's personality was, but Alex was so arrogant that he made him admit defeat, which still made Claude angry.
Claude said, "Don't be arrogant, hmph, even if you can win me, I won't let you win easily?"
Alex shrugged: "Really, if you don't deliberately stall for time, I promise to end the battle in half an hour!"
"You...... Well, I'd like to see how you can end the fight in half an hour!"
"Enough, since you don't admit defeat, don't waste time with nonsense. Alex said, "Let you go first!"
Claude gritted his teeth, and was not polite, and directly dropped a sunspot on the chessboard.
Alex also landed a piece quickly.
Then the two kept falling the chess pieces on the chessboard, and Han Shengqi had to admit that he was able to participate in the competition held by Hilton Academy, and there was indeed no weakling, and this Clyde's chess strength was not as good as Han Shengqi, but it was definitely not worse than Yuan Xiangfu and Jin Weiqing. If there were two people, it would be difficult to win a game.
And seeing Alex playing chess with his own eyes, Han Shengqi also had to admit that this person's chess skills were excellent, he basically didn't think about every move, and he fell quickly, but even so, Claude has been suppressed and beaten by Alex. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't take more than half an hour to end the game.
Yizhu and Tan Kaixuan, like Han Shengqi, are all players from Huaxia, and the three of them were not bad yesterday, and the three of them are naturally walking together today.
"This person is really terrifying, his current chess strength has surpassed mine, obviously not all of his chess strength!" Yizhu said with a frown.
