"I'm also lucky, the two mentors who guided me are the top masters!" Han Shengqi said with a smile.

His goal is not to enter the top 16, but to win the championship, of course, now Han Shengqi's chess strength, if there is no system cheating, the championship is almost impossible, maybe there is a chance to defeat an opponent of Zhang Xiaofei's level, but it is difficult for an opponent of Chen Ye's level to win.

Han Shengqi and Yuan Xiangqi talked and laughed and went back to school, sent Yuan Xiangfu back to the dormitory, and Han Shengqi also went back to the dormitory.

After Han Shengqi returned to the dormitory, he took out the chess game that Professor Su gave him on the first day and began to study the chess game, now it is difficult for Han Shengqi to find an evenly matched opponent on the Internet, and he is not looking for an opponent on the Internet every day.

Han Shengqi had just studied for a while, and the text message prompt on his mobile phone sounded.

It was a text message from a stranger, and Han Shengqi clicked on the text message.

Han Shengqi, tomorrow is the provincial chess competition, let me see how much your chess strength has improved. Black Fox!

Han Shengqi didn't expect that [Black Fox] sent a text message to himself, as for how he knew his mobile phone number, Han Shengqi was not surprised, [Black Fox] was a hacker, and it was naturally not difficult to find his mobile phone number.

Han Shengqi did not forget that when Chen Ye framed him, if it wasn't for the [Black Fox] to make a move, he might not be able to clear his suspicions, and Han Shengqi now owes the [Black Fox] favor and has not repaid it until now.

However, Han Shengqi could vaguely feel that [Black Fox] wanted his chess skills to reach a very high level, but Han Shengqi didn't know how she wanted to pay off her favor.

Han Shengqi opened the chess and card game, [Black Fox] was really online, and as soon as Han Shengqi opened the chess and card game, [Black Fox] invited him to fight.

Han Shengqi naturally would not refuse.

After entering the game room, [Black Fox] sent a message: Han Shengqi, I hope you don't disappoint me.

[Qi Phosphorus]: Don't worry, it shouldn't disappoint you, don't talk nonsense, let's start.

Han Shengqi didn't talk too much nonsense with [Black Fox], and directly started the chess game. He also wanted to see how good [Black Fox]'s chess skills were, and remembered that when Han Shengqi played chess with her for the first time, Han Shengqi was completely abused and killed from beginning to end.

At that time, Han Shengqi only knew that [Black Fox] was very strong in chess, but he couldn't tell what level she had reached.

Now that Han Shengqi has trained hard for a month, coupled with his good talent, his chess strength is already very good, even if he can't defeat [Black Fox], he still can do it if he wants to see what grade Black Fox is.

At the beginning of the battle, Han Shengqi used all his strength, and when he fought against [Black Fox] for the first time, Han Shengqi had no power to fight back, but today was different.

After more than a dozen steps, Han Shengqi could feel that the [Black Fox]'s chess strength was indeed much higher than his, and his tactics could be easily resolved by the [Black Fox]. But it's not like she's suppressed the whole time.

The chess power of this [Black Fox] is indeed quite high, at least Zhang Xiaofei is not an opponent at all, and even Han Shengqi feels that I am afraid that the chess power of [Black Fox] surpasses Chen Ye.

Could it be that this [Black Fox] is really a tutor at the school, if it weren't for the mentor, Han Shengqi wouldn't be able to figure out who the [Black Fox] was.

In this game, Han Shengqi still lost to [Black Fox] at the forty-second move.

Han Shengqi lost to the chess game, and [Black Fox] soon sent a message: I didn't expect that the chess strength improved so quickly, but if you want to win the provincial chess championship, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

[Qi Li]: Senior sister, I have been learning chess for a month, how can I suddenly reach the point of becoming the provincial champion, but when I play against those masters who participate in the provincial chess competition, this is also a good opportunity to improve my chess ability.

[Black Fox]: Senior brother, it seems that your ambition is really not small, and it is a good thing to be ambitious. Hopefully you'll be able to do wonders.

[Qi Li]: Can you tell me how you want me to repay your favor?

Han Shengqi didn't want to owe others a favor for too long, he hoped to be able to repay the favor of [Black Fox] as soon as possible.

[Black Fox]: You'll know then, it's not the time yet, okay, it's time for me to go to sleep.

After [Black Fox] sent the message, it went directly offline.

Han Shengqi was also a little helpless, and in the end, [Black Fox] still didn't tell him how to repay her favor, and it seems that this favor can only be owed.

It's still early, and Han Shengqi continued to take out the chess game and study it.

The Provincial Chess Competition is an event held by the government departments of Hangzhou Province, and it is an annual event in Hangzhou Province.

The number of people who signed up for the provincial chess competition this time reached 4,000, and Han Shengqi really didn't expect that so many people would sign up. Han Shengqi remembers that in previous years, there were not so many people participating.

Han Shengqi arrived early at the venue where the organizer held the chess tournament, which can be described as a crowd of people. Among these people, there are people who participate in the game, and there are people who watch the game.

Before the game started, the host talked about celebrating the game together, and then announced the rules and procedures of the game.

To everyone's surprise, this competition turned out to be different from previous years.

Because the people who participated in the competition this time exceeded their expectations, and in the preliminary round, it was even more severe.

In the past, the rules of the preliminary round were based on a point system, and each person in each round immediately chose three rounds of opponents to eliminate the bottom 100 players.

And this time there is no point system, or each person in each round immediately chooses the opponent to play three rounds, the first round wins two games to advance to the second round, the second round also plays three games, and it is still the third round that wins two games. In the third round, there were two games against each other, and three games were defeated by one game to advance to the semifinals.

In previous years, the match was a semi-final or a direct round of 64, and the two began to play against each other randomly until the final champion was chosen.

This time, the rematch is also the same as in previous years, but this time there is no so-called top 64, and the rematch is also called the top 32 qualifiers.

In the preliminary round, the organizers select the top 10 players with the strongest performance, known as seeded players, and directly advance to the top 32.

The rest of the people will play a five-game points match, and five opponents will be randomly selected in the points competition, and the top 22 will advance to the top 32.

This is followed by the final two-by-two knockout round, and the winner is chosen.

According to Han Shengqi's estimate, in the preliminary round, more than two-thirds of the three-game games in the first and second rounds were eliminated, and another half was eliminated in the third round. There are two wins in three games, there are three wins and two wins, and there are also three games and two wins to advance, so the probability of being eliminated is not accurate, but Han Shengqi should be about the same as he expected.
