Kobayashi Akira is looking forward to it, as the leader of the new school of the Benge School in the island country, he has just been promoted to the eighth dan this year, and he is here with great ambitions. In today's utilitarian game of Go, he wants to spread the gorgeous 'floor' (known as paving the floor in the Benge school) to the highest place in the world of Go, and the Ying's Cup is one.

For today's opening, he even excitedly drank a bottle of sake brought from his homeland, drinking before the Kitani Ichimai match is nothing, but he thinks that this is the style of chess players, in fact, the chess players of the island country are basically drunkards, perhaps because sake is not intoxicating.

Mr. Ying and the person in charge of the Three Kingdoms Chess Academy have just made a speech, and they have already started the group draw, because they are not the seeded players of the previous session, so Kobayashi Ming must go through the first round of elimination, and the result of this draw is closely related to him.

Akira Kobayashi was nervous, just as nervous as he was when he first entered his girlfriend's house. He is not worried about meeting a strong person, and even looks forward to meeting masters like Huaxia Nie Xiaochun, Gu Li, and South Korean Xiao Li in the first round, and is most afraid of drawing a female opponent, which is the most hated rule of the Ying's Cup, and female opponents may also appear opposite any male first-class master, although they are the most beautiful scenery in the game, and they usually can't go to the final stage, but they are not victorious, lose and have no face, and are too entangled.

Kobayashi is a very proud man, and all he can do now is pray to Amaterasu.

His luck seems to be good, three female chess players from Huaxia Island and South Korea have already been spent, among which the female chess player Xiaolu Naruko, who is also from the Kitani lineage, actually faced Paul Wudan from Canada, and his little sister jumped up excitedly at that time, and the players of the third world countries of Go are equivalent to sending food to her, and the generous Apayasu is equivalent to escorting her to the next round.

The luck of the Korean female chess player was also good, and she faced a player from Taiwan, but the female chess player in China was even worse, her opponent was Kobayashi Akira's partner Takeda Satoru Kudan, this island chess player who is famous for his hard work is attacking the Celebrity Tournament, Amaterasu actually arranged a female match? Kobayashi almost laughed out loud.

"Yaga. It's an insult to me!"

Standing behind Kobayashi Ming, Takeda Satoru shook his fist fiercely into the air, as if to complain about the injustice of fate, the big-eyed Chinese female chess player is very 'kawaii', a cute girl, but the more small and cute the other party is, the more he feels that this is a guide chess, eight checks and teeth! But he is no longer angry, and he must accept such an arrangement, Xiangjiang is not an island country, and machismo will not work.

"Takeda. Don't be discouraged, since this is the case, let's show the majesty of the Oshima national chess players in front of the Chinese female chess players."

Kobayashi Ming laughed, as a descendant of the Benge faction, he didn't have a good impression of a force fighting faction like Takeda, but he still sympathized with him.

"Here is the seventh group of draws, please come to the stage and draw your opponent"

The Ying Cup adopts the 'find a partner' type of lottery method, where the chief referee of the tournament randomly selects 7 players, and then the 7 players select their opponents by themselves. It's very fair and fair, so that the eighth group is the remaining two, and it can also save time.

Just now, Mao Mao was drawn by the chief referee Mr. Ying, and then he drew Takeda, a violent chess player. Akira Kobayashi's luck is obviously better than that of his companions. I got the opportunity to draw lots by hand.

"Amaterasu Blessing"

Putting his hand into the sealed box, Kobayashi Ming glanced at Zhou Yi, who was standing under the stage, and secretly prayed in his heart not to let himself be separated from this Huaxia Chuduan, in that case he would be more depressed than Takeda. The Chinese female chess player just now was still a third dan. At this time, there have been six groups of candidates for the battle, and Kobayashi can see it clearly, Zhou Yi is still talking and laughing with his companions at the beginning of his career. I especially like to talk to the big-eyed Chinese female chess player, this is obviously a flowery guy, and a little-known early stage, how can such a person be worthy of being the opponent of the descendants of the Benge faction?

I really don't know how Huaxia would recommend such a person to participate in the Ying's Cup, thinking that he had gone through countless struggles to participate in the Ying's Cup, the indignant Kobayashi Ming looked down on Zhou Yi more and more.

"Oh, Amaterasu still abandoned me, why is that!"

took out the small ball with the player's number written on it, Kobayashi Ming suddenly wailed, No. 13, it was the early stage of Huaxia, and he was going to be laughed at by Takeda this time. He had even seen Satoru Takeda pouting widely, smiling maliciously at himself. 'Yaga'!

"Brother Zhou, how long will it take to settle the battle?"

As a seeded player, Nie Xiaochun didn't compete today, and he came here to cheer for his companions, but for Zhou Yi, a freak, he thought that there was no need to cheer at all, so he pointed straight to his heart.

"I guess I'm going to run out of time. ”

"Running out of time?"

Nie Xiaochun shook his head puzzled: "Xiao Lin Ming is a chess player of the Benge School, his kung fu is first-class, and his fighting skills are weaker, with your strange methods, you don't have to wait for the official to kill him, and the middle game should be over?"

"Hehe, I just want to know more about the methods of the Benge School, since I have accepted apprentices, of course I have to collect more examples of battles. Zhou Yi smiled and pointed at Mao Yu. Mao Mao's face turned white suddenly, and she couldn't help but feel a thrill for a day, just yesterday, at this moment, she thought of the question of life and death that Zhou Yi took out yesterday, and there was a feeling of wanting to die.

This is a school that is relatively close to the way of chess, right? How could Zhou Yi be willing to win this game as soon as he made a move?

Let's build a house slowly with the wind

Zhou Xianren nodded at Xiao Lin Ming on the stage with a smile.

"Nie Xiao, why did you come, today's draw is not very optimistic, what do you think?"

When Zhou Yi and several participating chess players were led to the game, the 'chess viewing room' of various countries was also lively, some domestic masters who only flew in temporarily yesterday, such as Liu Guang, Song Ci, Chang Tian and other masters were there, and they were gathered together to discuss warmly, the situation of the Huaxia side draw group was not optimistic, and among the five chess players who went to the game, two nine-dan chess players Yu Shaoxin and Qian Guangming also met strong opponents from island countries and South Korea, and their luck was not too good.

Cao Lang was better, and he met his old rival Park Zhengkang of South Korea, and they both knew each other. Although it is difficult to win, it is not easy to suffer.

But what Zhou Yi met was Kobayashi Ming, who has been in the limelight recently in the island country, a direct descendant of the Benge faction, and a rising star who is said to have entered the celebrity qualifiers; not to mention Mao Yu's side, with her strength, she is bound to lose to Takeda Jue, this fierce island country has a headache even when Gu Li encounters it.

"Miss Liu, Xiao Yezi, come on, just sit here and watch chess. ”

Nie Xiaochun smiled and let the catkins and leaves on the sofa, and specially asked someone to get a bottle of orange juice for the leaves: "Let me introduce it." This is Zhou Yizhou's brother's girlfriend, this is Xiao Yezi, Maomao's newly accepted 'disciple'. ”

"What's the matter? Mao Mao has also started a sect now?"

Speaking of which, Liu Guang and Song Ci have also instructed Mao Yu, a girl, a flower in the Huaxia Chess Academy, who will hide it from her?

They taught Mao Yu at the beginning. In addition to the main theme goal of revitalizing women's Go, there are also elements of opposites attracting, but they are not disciples and inner disciples of Mao Yu on the spot.

The Go world is like some traditional industries, and there are disciples inside and outside. Disciples who enter the room are like the children of the teacher, they all have to eat and live in the master's house, such as today's martial arts, Chinese medicine, and kitchen worlds, all of which still have such inheritances. It's just in this impetuous age. There are very few people who can accept inner disciples, and Lee Chang-ho's defeat of Cho Hoon-hyun is all rumored to be a good story. Nie Xiaochun, who loves hairy crabs, has eaten a lot of students' crabs. I didn't see anyone he gave him a share to accept as an inner disciple.

Mao Yu's small professional third section actually accepted a little Lori, which still surprised Liu Guang and them, to worship under the door of this young beautiful chess player, it is not much easier than asking them to be teachers, Mao Mao is such a low-key person, how can Ying's Cup not be compared, so high-profile to accept students?

"Hehe, this is the equivalent exchange, Zhou Yi agreed to help Maomao assault training during the Yingshi Cup, and in exchange, Maomao accepted Xiaoye as a student"

Nie Xiaochun said with a smile: "According to Mao Mao, Xiao Yezi is very talented, and in just one day, he has already mastered the basic life and death questions, and even the problem of 'Golden Rooster Independence' can be solved." ”

"Nie Qisheng, you really won the prize. Hearing Nie Xiaochun so sparing no effort to praise, Liu Wu couldn't help but straighten her waist, feeling a little proud, since she met Zhou Yi, she and Ye Zi are one and the same, and now not only has the revenge been avenged, but also established her position in Zhou Yi's heart, even Mao Mao's talent has been developed, speaking of which, this is all thanks to Zhou Yi.

If there really are angels in this world, Liu Yi believes that Zhou Yi is the one who inserted six pairs of wings, just to save her and Yezi

"Help Maomao assault training, Zhou Yi?"

Liu Guang and they have naturally heard of Zhou Yi's name, but chess is chess, Go masters have not been tortured by computers, and there is no sense of substitution for human beings to defeat the ultimate computer, in their eyes, Zhou Yi is also a very calculating, some talent of the newcomer to Go; even if Mao Mao is hindered by a woman's body, his chess strength is limited, but he is a professional third dan who rushed out of the 'corpse mountain and sea of blood', and he dares to say that he will help her with surprise training?

There is even a grudge against Zhou Yi, and this time the domestic recommendation quota was given to Zhou Yi, which means that those of them who failed to break through in the domestic selection competition lost an opportunity to participate in the Yingshi Cup and earn a high bonus. If Zhou Yi was a well-known player in the high stage, it would be fine, but it was a beginner stage, which made Liu Guang a little unhappy, and even suspected that Dean Chen was unfair. Everyone has heard that Zhou Yi is not only wealthy, but also has amazing connections, this time when he came to Xiangjiang, he didn't even live in the free dormitory provided by the Xiangjiang Sports Center, and he entered the family of Li Jucheng, the richest man in Asia, which makes everyone think about it less?

"Hehe, it's just devil training"

Recalling Zhou Yi's questions, Nie Xiaochun and Gu Li both wanted to tremble, it was simply a genius's conception and the devil's method, they couldn't imagine how Zhou Yi put forward his own unique insights in those formulas that had been verified countless times by his predecessors, it was no longer a life-and-death question and a 'flying knife' that could be described, but a brand-new Go concept, Mao Mao could learn from it, and the two of them were the same. It felt like going back in time and back to the junior Go school

It's just a curse, Nie Xiaochun and Gu Li actually know that if they indulge in Zhou Yi's so-called 'life and death questions' like this, their self-confidence as top Go masters will be shattered, which will affect the state of future competitions, but they can't get rid of this temptation, a temptation that no Go person can refuse.

Devil, this guy was born to play Go, and he was born to subvert today's concept of Go, right? If the two of them knew that Zhou Yi was also struggling to find a way to Go, he would definitely go crazy. It's so devastating.

"Hmm. The game has begun, let's watch chess, as for Zhou Yi's assault training, I advise you not to watch it, otherwise you will regret it. ”

Nie Xiaochun was so bad that he didn't care if he successfully hung everyone's appetite, and he heard Liu Guang, Song Ci and the others staring dryly, but they were even more curious about Nie Xiaochun's so-called 'devil training', while Nie Gu and the others glanced at each other and smiled evilly at the same time.

Go, go, let you also feel the 'torture' we have experienced. lest you turn back and say that there are 'good things' that are not given to you

***

Although he was very disappointed in his heart, Kobayashi Ming still maintained the demeanor that a Go master of the Benge School should have, and when he came to the game table earlier than Zhou Yi, he nodded deeply after seeing the beginning of this profession. The sound of 'hi' coming out of his mouth is like an island samurai who wants to fight hard with people in a TV series.

"These island people are just too dull, and the Benge chess players are probably even more stupid geese among stupid geese."

Out of courtesy. Zhou Yi also nodded to him, this game should be the most boring one, don't expect any passion from the Benge faction who loves to lay the floor. And if he wants to understand this genre, he has to be patient and play with each other.

"Game On"

The first round of the knockout round is to select eight players from the sixteen unseeded players to advance, in order to ensure absolute fairness, eight pairs of players are playing at the same time, in the same arena, so there is no game room to speak of, eight game tables, not far from each other, separated by a half-height aluminum-plastic partition in the middle, but you can see the players of the other group. At this moment, Mao Mao's side also started a war, Takeda Jue got the black chess, which is not a good thing under the rules of Ying's family, and the fiery Lizhan chess player shook his head dissatisfiedly, and slapped on the star position with a 'snap', so frightened that Mao Mao blinked.

Zhou Yi smiled, Takeda Jue looked like a fighting faction, such a chess player has the biggest ups and downs, and it is also the type that is most easily calculated by the 'flying knife', just rely on the flying knives that he helped Mao Mao design, and he must not be cut to pieces?

On the contrary, it is the Benge school like Kobayashi Ming who likes to compete for skills, even if you put a flying knife trap, he may turn a blind eye and continue to carry out his own great business of 'laying the floor', Mao Mao was not drawn by him, and the luck of Huaxia Go seems to be good.

Guess that Zhou Yi took black, according to the rules of the Ying Cup black side to return eight points, but it was white chess advantageous, Kobayashi Ming was secretly happy in his heart, but there was an ancient expression on his face, and he nodded to Zhou Yi and motioned for him to write a word.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, and wrote in the upper right corner, this is the etiquette of Go, and it is a mallet that falls in front of him, and it is even more rude in a professional game.

Ying's Cup is a three-hour and thirty-minute system, there is no countdown, and two points are punished for every thirty-five minutes of overtime, so even the most popular Benge chess players dare not slack off, Xiao Lin Ming thought about it for a few minutes, and also fell in the star position under Zhou Yi's left hand.

Xing Xiaomu starts, Zhongzheng is peaceful, and the opening method of the absolute Benge school shows that Kobayashi Ming's game is to adhere to the pace of 'paving the floor', if you change the force battle faction like Gu Li and Takeda Jue, most of them will have to start with the wrong small eye or the wrong star small eye, and it will be short-handed in the layout stage.

Zhou Yiying has been extinct for many years with the layout of 'Huaxia Flow', and Kobayashi Ming has followed suit, leveling the triple star, and this game seems to have traveled through time and space, returning to the early 90s of the last century.

"Decent layout, Zhou Yi is going to fight with Xiao Lin Ming?"

The six LCD screens in the chess viewing room opened five, but most of everyone's eyes fell on the two games of chess of Zhou Yi and Mao Yu, and after watching the opening of Zhou Yi and Xiao Lin Ming, Liu Guang and Song Ci, the nine-section masters, frowned, and felt a little bad.

Contemporary Go has long entered the era of 'post-layout', in the layout stage of any kind of imaginative chess can be played, what 'high eyes' and 'three three' are not unusual, all have modern theory support, but like Zhou Yi and Kobayashi Ming, with such a complete traditional layout to carry out confrontation, it is really rare.

'Huaxia Liu' and 'Sanlianxing' are good standard layouts, but they are based on the concept of Go in the last century, and Zili is prematurely invested in the side lane, which is not efficient, and has long been abandoned by contemporary chess players. Today, I actually saw these two layouts in a competition of this level in the Ying's Cup, and it was strange that several masters did not shake their heads.

Kobayashi Ming is a Benge faction, people like nostalgia, like to play steadily and steady, but this Zhou Yi is crazy, Ying's Cup black chess has to be pasted back to the eight sons, so compared to laying the floor with others, isn't that the length of attacking the enemy with his own shortcomings?

Liu Guang and Song Ci couldn't figure it out.
