Chapter 209: The Name of the Demon Emperor in the Go World
In the backyard!
"Dead chess!" Xiao Fan lightly dropped a sunspot, looked at Xiao Feng calmly and said.
Xiao Feng's forehead was covered with sweat, scratching his ears and cheeks, the white son in his hand did not dare to fall, and Cheng Qingxue on the side sneered unceremoniously: "Old man, don't you usually boast of how powerful your chess skills are? Or is it the vice chairman of the Raushzi Go Association? You blow in front of me all day long, and now you continue to blow?"
Xiao Feng was speechless, turned his head and glanced at Cheng Qingxue, his eyes were full of anger!
"What? Do you still want to rebel?" Seeing Xiao Feng's appearance, Cheng Qingxue's apricot eyes suddenly widened, and her voice suddenly increased an octave.
Xiao Feng's face suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head in disdain.
Ling Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and snickered on the side!
"Forget it, Lao Tzu admits defeat!" Finally, Xiao Feng threw down the white son in his hand in frustration, and said angrily, "Don't play, there are more than ten games here, and the plates are crushed, and I can't play them all!"
The corners of Xiao Fan's mouth raised, revealing a hint of a smile!
"You kid can do it now, I taught you Go back then, you are capable now, I don't know if you let me give it a go?" Xiao Feng glared at Xiao Fan and said.
"There is no father and son in the chess field, only the round is won and lost!" Xiao Fan replied calmly, "Back then, you abused me countless games, and you didn't say let me do it once?"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was speechless and speechless!
"Less nonsense, I'm Lao Tzu, you're a son, I said you let me if you let me, come, have another game, I won't believe it!" Xiao Feng suddenly became angry and shouted angrily.
But at this moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang!
"Go pick it up!"
Xiao Feng began to put away all the white pieces on the chessboard, ready to have another game with Xiao Fan, and said to Cheng Qingxue without looking back.
Cheng Qingxue glanced at Xiao Feng. But I still went to the living room to answer the phone!
And as soon as Xiao Fan and Xiao Feng fell into a son, Cheng Qingxue's voice came from the living room: "Old man, your phone number is Lao Zhao!"
"Old Zhao?" Xiao Feng heard this. Immediately put down the chess pieces in his hand, stood up with a puzzled look on his face, walked towards the living room, and muttered, "What is he calling for?"
Come to the living room. Picking up the phone, Xiao Feng was shocked as soon as he heard a sentence: "What did you say? The final was advanced? This afternoon? Why?"
"Okay, I know, I'll go now!" Xiao Feng listened to a few more words, nodded and said, and then put down the phone!
"Let's go, let's go. This afternoon, the finals of the Philadelphia Go Tournament will be held at the Longman Hall in Philadelphia, so let's hurry up. If it's too late, it'll be too late!" Xiao Feng walked over and said eagerly to Xiao Fan and the others.
"Well, didn't you say that the final was held on the 25th two days ago? It's only the 23rd today, why is it ahead of schedule?" Cheng Qingxue wondered.
"No, the date of the finals was originally set on the 25th, although it usually doesn't change, but occasionally there are still times when it changes. This time it was two days ahead of schedule, and it was finally scheduled for this afternoon, if Lao Zhao hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known!" Xiao Feng said.
"Really, I haven't eaten lunch yet. Why did you go earlier?" Cheng Qingxue glanced up at the wall clock on the wall and immediately complained.
"Then what can I do? Lao Zhao understands English, can read the Internet and newspapers, and can receive the final notification information in time. And I can't understand anything, I can only rely on Lao Zhao and a few of them to inform me verbally, sometimes it's normal for the time to be unlucky!" Xiao Feng said confidently, and then he said again, "Okay, hurry up, hurry up." Eat while walking on the road!"
"No!" Cheng Qingxue glared and objected.
"Okay, Mom, let's buy something to eat on the way, it's rare that Dad has such a hobby, let's go together!" Xiao Fan patted Cheng Qingxue's back and said with a smile.
"Okay!" As soon as Xiao Fan spoke, Cheng Qingxue suddenly softened and nodded.
"Good son!" Xiao Feng patted Xiao Fan's shoulder fiercely, and then quickly went upstairs to pack his things!
In a short time, the four of them all packed up and drove towards the Longman Hall in Philadelphia!
Soon, we arrived at our destination, the Longman Hall in Philadelphia!
When I arrived at the hall, there were already a lot of people at the door, all of whom were Go enthusiasts, queuing up at the door one by one to buy tickets, eagerly waiting for admission!
At the door, Xiao Fan took a brief look at the introduction of this Philadelphia Go competition!
The Philadelphia Go Tournament was first organized by some Chinese people, and the content of the competition was very simple, that is, a group of people sat together to play chess, had a lively time, and had a good time, which was not so much a competition as an emotional gathering between Chinese people living in Philadelphia.
Later, a Chinese became a senior official of the Philadelphia government, thanks to his strong recommendation and support, the Philadelphia Go tournament became more and more formal, and the influence was also increasing, and many American people in Philadelphia and surrounding cities knew about Go, and many people fell in love with Go.
Especially in the past few years, the Philadelphia Go Tournament has developed to a top, and almost every year, famous Go masters from all over the world are invited to come and show their chess skills in front of everyone, which has caused a huge sensation!
This year's Philadelphia Go Tournament can be called the most grand one in history, inviting many famous chess players, including the famous Korean player Park Zhenying, the famous Japanese national player Takumoto Liuzhen, the famous French Go master Francesman, etc., and the arrival of the famous Chinese national player Master Nie Qing!
It can be said that the stars are shining together!
When Xiao Fan was a child, he heard his father Xiao Feng say that his idol was Master Nie Qing, and now he can finally see Master Nie Qing himself, so it's no wonder that his father Xiao Feng is so eager that he doesn't even want to eat and wants to come.
The ticket is not expensive, it is only ten dollars per person, and after buying the ticket, Xiao Fan and the four of them quickly entered the hall!
At this time, the game has not officially started, everyone is finding their place, sitting in the stands next to them, waiting quietly.
Xiao Fan and the four of them also sat down, and as soon as they sat down, suddenly, a discussion next to them came into Xiao Fan's ears!
"Hey, you know what? After today's grand final, there's another big event in the evening. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French. The six masters of the United States and India will have a showdown of the century!"
"Is it really fake? Aren't all the national masters invited every year just judges?
"I don't know the specific reason, but it seems that I heard that there is a contradiction between Master Park Jinying of the Korean national player and Master Nie Qing of the Chinese national player, and the Japanese national player Master Takumoto Liuzhen and the French France's Franciscan are not right, in short, the reason is very complicated. So in the end, after negotiation, the six national masters all agreed to have a peak competition at the end!"
"The organizers are definitely planning in advance, the purpose is to attract attention and media attention!"
"I think it's good, I can watch a visual feast again, I really don't know which country's master will win in the end?"
"I don't know, it's hard to say, because it's not weak!"
Behind him, two people who didn't know where they came from were muttering in a language that others didn't understand.
Xiao Fan listened briefly, and then withdrew his divine sense. Laughing with his mother Cheng Qingxue, waiting for the game to start.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Philadelphia Go Tournament, here!" said an old man in a suit and leather shoes with a smile on the microphone below.
Hearing this voice, the whole venue suddenly quieted down, no longer noisy, everyone was shocked, stretching their heads and looking down!
The race is about to begin!
"Before the finals start, we have a little game!" said the old man in a suit and leather shoes. "Let me ask first, I wonder if you have ever heard of Zhenlong chess game?"
"Zhenlong chess game? What is that?"
"Haven't heard of it!"
"I've heard that it is an ancient chess game in China, which is known as one of the seven impossible chess games in the history of Go. It's a very difficult game!"
"Cut, I've only heard of the six major chess games in the history of Go that are impossible to solve, where did this Zhenlong chess game come from?
"This chess game has not been out for a few years, and it is currently only circulating in China, Japan and South Korea, and the scope is not large. That's why not many people know about it!"
"Oh, I see!"
There was a lot of discussion below!
"This is the Zhenlong chess game, you can take a look at it first!" The old man in the suit raised his hand, and someone next to him immediately turned on the display screen, and a chess game suddenly appeared on the screen.
Everyone looked at the big screen and began to think about this chess game in their minds.
The whole venue was silent!
After about five or six minutes, the old man in the suit and leather shoes smiled again and said: "Everyone must have seen the chess game, and everyone should know its difficulty, and the little game I mentioned is related to this Zhenlong chess game!"
"The game is very simple, this is another chess game deduced from the Zhenlong chess game!" The old man in the suit raised his hand, and suddenly a chess game somewhat similar to the Zhenlong chess game appeared on the screen again, and then he said, "The difficulty of this deduced chess game is not high, everyone here can participate, and no matter who it is, as long as it can be solved within ten minutes, they will get a reward of 100,000 US dollars!"
"And if ten minutes pass and no one can solve it, then I'm sorry, the 100,000 dollar jackpot will be recovered by us, and the game will be abandoned, and the game will officially begin!"
"A hundred thousand dollars?"
As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately became excited.
This reward is definitely not low, even after deducting taxes, there is still a lot, most of the people here can only be regarded as ordinary income, 100,000 US dollars is a big windfall.
No one isn't impressed!
"In addition, a reminder, this chess game is derived from the Zhenlong chess game, so its solution also follows the idea of solving the Zhenlong chess game, you can search for the Zhenlong chess game and its solution on the Internet, and then think about the solution of this chess game!"
"I'll give you two minutes to search the Internet, and after two minutes, the timer will officially start, and the time is limited, so please hurry up!"
The old man in the suit and leather shoes laughed.
When the words fell, everyone hurriedly took out their mobile phones or tablets and began to search for the Zhenlong chess game on the Internet, and some people were extremely excited, obviously they had seen the Zhenlong chess game and knew the solution of the Zhenlong chess game, so they directly began to look at this chess game and quickly pondered it in their hearts.
"Zhenlong chess game, Zhenlong chess game, found it!"
"I found it too!"
Soon, many people in the crowd shouted.
"I'll go, this solution is really amazing!"
"It's not just amazing, it's just wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
"Every step has a deep meaning, the fourth step, the sixth step, the seventh step, and the twelfth step, it can be described as the finishing touch, the hand of God, amazing, really powerful!"
"Who is the person who solved this chess game? Demon Emperor Xiao Fan? En? Who is this person? Why have you never heard of it?"
"I don't know, is there such a number one person in the Go world?"
"This should be a screen name, right? I just don't know who my real name is?"
All of a sudden, the whole venue was like a big stone being thrown into the calm water of a lake, which suddenly broke the silence and boiled completely. (To be continued.) )
