"Li Changgao, are you going to participate in the 'Chess Soul' Cup jointly organized by the Huaxia Weiqi Association and Tianman?"

"Hua Bin will also participate in this competition, do you have the confidence to defeat him?"

Such a hot occasion is naturally indispensable to reporters. After Hua Bin announced his war, the reporter of the stick immediately smelled something extraordinary - this is big news!

So he immediately found Li Changgao and interviewed him.

Their domestic fans are also looking forward to Lee Chang-ko's participation in the war, because it will be a moment to show their Korean national strength!

This is a glorious battle, and it is only possible to win and not lose. They want to use victory to silence the whole world, and they want to make "Chess Soul" a laughing stock!

As for failure, they never thought about failure, because they firmly believed that Li Changgao would never lose at all!

And being so expected by his own people, whether Li Changgao wants it or not, he has to fight. Because if Li Changgao did not participate in the war, he was afraid that he would be spurned by his own people.

"Well, I will participate in the 'Chess Soul' Cup, and it has always been my dream and honor to be able to play against Mr. Hua Bin. ”

After getting Li Changgao's reply, the media turned around and published the news.

"Li Changgao is sure to participate in the 'Chess Soul' Cup!"

"Just Huabin is not enough to attract Li Changgao's attention, this championship is already in the bag!"

These arrogant news were immediately turned back to Huaxia, which simply added fuel to the fire for domestic fans.

The preparations were ready, and after Fu Yun handed over the others to the people below, he rushed to Ping'an City. Find Hua Bin. I happened to see the news as well. He told Hua Bin: "Although I know the consistent urine nature of the media. But it's still very upset to see such words!"

Hua Bin smiled calmly and set up a chess game alone.

Fu Yun poured himself a cup of tea and asked Hua Bin: "This time the momentum is a bit big, He Chen's influence has far exceeded my expectations, and the whole world is paying attention to this 'Chess Soul' Cup." This is no ordinary game, why aren't you nervous at all?

"By the way, what do you think of Li Changgao? Are you sure you will win?"

Hua Bin pinched the chess pieces. thought about it seriously, and then shook his head: "Li Changgao is indeed a very powerful master, for such a person, he has never played against him personally, and he will never be able to figure out his strength." ”

Fu Yun's eyebrows furrowed: "At this time, you are as stable as Mount Tai." No matter who wins the championship, Li Changgao must not be allowed to win the championship, if he wins the championship, it will be a catastrophic blow to the Chinese Go community. After all, it was hard to rely on He Chen's comics. aroused people's interest in Go, if seen in reality. How can it be interesting to go from us, but it was beaten with a stick?"

"Dude, this time it's not a joke. This is true, please take it seriously, and only win and not lose. If we fail, all our efforts will be wasted, and the hope of Huaxia Go will be dashed. ”

Hua Bin gently landed on the chessboard and made a soft sound, this familiar voice, he had listened to it for most of his life, for him, this was the most pleasant celestial sound.

"How many years have passed, you are still that frizzy appearance, just like your chess, full of murderous spirit. People say that Go can cultivate one's self-cultivation, but I think you haven't changed at all. ”

"People have all kinds of forms, chess has a hundred winds, I have this style, what's the matter! Although I am fifty or sixty body, but I have fifteen or sixteen hearts!"

Hua Bin smiled and said, "However, don't worry, it's not your time anymore, the dawn of hope has appeared......

“…… Who?"

Fu Yun heard that there was something in Hua Bin's words, the dawn of hope...... Could it be that when he didn't know it, Huaxia had already given birth to a chess player who could compete with Li Changgao?

The names of some up-and-coming newcomers passed aside in Fu Yun's heart, but in the end they all shook their heads, although these people have a lot of very talented people, but now they are just talents, if they want to transform into real strength, they have to go through the precipitation and tempering of time.

However, seeing that Hua Bin didn't seem to be fooling himself anymore, Fu Yun was puzzled.

And Hua Bin smiled but didn't say anything.

……

The first stage is an online knockout tournament with a large number of participants, including many amateur top players, who can even play against professional chess players. Because of the one-defeat system, despite the large number of players, the progress of the competition was very fast, and after a month, the top 32 players finally fought their way out of the encirclement and entered the next round.

Of course, the top 32 are only at the amateur and low-end levels. Among them, there are as many as 13 amateur masters, and the rest are low-level players, after all, such a formal competition, there is an essential difference between the psychological elements of professional players and amateur players, and it is reasonable for low-level professional players to occupy most of them.

The tools used in the game,It is He Chen's homeopathic DM game added to the game of Go,Relying on this game,Almost in a blink of an eye, Tianman's software occupies most of the market share of Go online casual games (after all,Most of the Go likes offline games,There is an atmosphere,Most of the online are young people,And amateur casual players who don't have much time to play chess)。

At the same time, it has further expanded the market share of DM application software in the world. After all, if you want to participate in this competition, you must register from Tianman's "Chess Soul" online Go game, and if you want to register, you must register a DM number.

Go lovers who didn't pay attention to Tianman and didn't read comics before, but this time they had to enter the world of Tianman.

And the selection of the top 32 is just the beginning, what awaits them is a fierce battle with the top players in the middle and high-end from all over the world.

The game here, Tianman will be broadcast live on the Internet, Huaxia's sports channel, as well as other sports channels and Go channels in the world, etc., have also been broadcast.

Here, the most striking ones are undoubtedly Li Changgao and Hua Bin.

One is the new generation of "chess saints", and the other is the former "chess saints" who have long since retired.

However, the two did not meet in the knockout round. The second knockout round is divided into eight regions. At the same time. Finally, the champion of each region will be determined, and then the third round of round-robin will be entered.

The two belong to different regions.

The game between the two in this competition was found out and studied repeatedly.

Li Changgao has not changed much - he is still so strong, flawless, and invulnerable.

Because Hua Bin once retired, compared with Hua Bin's game a long time ago, people suddenly found out. Hua Bin's chess style has changed somewhat.

"Have you noticed that the teacher's chess style is a little different from before?"

Many of Hua Bin's students participated in this competition, but it was a pity that they could only be eliminated because of their lack of strength. They got together and carefully studied and studied the chess games of these masters.

As Hua Bin's students, they knew Hua Bin's chess style very well, so the subtle changes in Hua Bin's chess style were quickly noticed by them.

"Well, it's changed. One nodded. He was in a competition area with his teacher and had the honor to play against Hua Bin. Therefore, his feelings are even more obvious, "Although I can't say what has become, I can clearly feel that the teacher's chess style has changed." ”

"When I visited my teacher last year, I went to see him, and there was no significant change at that time. Another said.

"After only one year, the teacher's chess style has changed...... I've gotten stronger, and when I used to play against my teacher, I could clearly feel a lot more pressure than before. Could it be that the teacher has improved again in the way of Go?"

Huabin's students are happy and excited about the teacher's excellence.

"So, which is higher or lower between the teacher and Li Changgao now?" the topic turned to the topic that the whole world is concerned about now.

Li Changgao's companions are also asking him such questions, as long as he is a master, no one can't see the changes in Hua Bin.

Li Changgao frowned, the previous "not easy to say" was a polite word, but now it is really hard to say.

……

In the round-robin competition, there are eight people, including two in Europe, two in China, one in the island country, and three people in the stick. It can be seen that the Go of the stick is not only strong by one person, but also surpasses other countries in strength and atmosphere as a whole.

Different from the knockout round, the round-robin format is relatively fairer, minimizing the impact of other factors such as "luck", and it is completely a clash of real hard power.

Although others also have bright spots, they can't be compared with Hua Bin and Li Changgao at all, as long as it is a match between the two, it will attract the attention of most people.

Every chess game between the two is exciting, winning and losing each other, and the points are tightly bitten, leaving everyone else.

In the end, the two had the same number of points, but in the game between the two, Li Changgao had a higher winning rate, so he won the first place by a narrow margin and won the right to challenge.

The whole country was jubilant, but Huaxia was silent.

Participating in so many games in a row is not only a test of chess strength, but also a test of the body, after all, Hua Bin is too old to withstand such consumption, and finally loses.

However, Hua Bin's only regret is not his defeat, after all, his body is also considered strength, Li Changgao defeated him with his own strength, and he has nothing to be dissatisfied with. What he regretted was that he couldn't snatch the title of "Chess Soul" from He Chen.

The sticks have already released a declaration of victory, not to mention them, even Huaxia fans believe that Li Changgao will become the champion of the "Chess Soul" Cup.

However, the thought of the title of "Chess Soul" being taken away by a stick made everyone very unhappy.

Even Li Changgao relaxed, and his last opponent was only one, He Chen.

Who is He Chen?

Cartoonist only.

Li Changgao had never heard of He Chen's ability to play Go, but since someone else was the host and held such a grand competition, he was fortunate to be able to play against Hua Bin.

It can be said that winning Hua Bin and proving himself was given to him by He Chen.

He was still thinking about how much water he wanted to put in He Chen, maybe they would have a chance to cooperate in the future.

Soon, though, he didn't have time to think about it.

The sticks were stunned, and the whole world froze.

In the first game, Li Changgao actually lost to He Chen! (To be continued......
