Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap.

The annual National Go Fixed-Stage Tournament is held once a year by the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, which is divided into fixed-stage tournament and promotion tournament.

In the world of Go, although there is only a one-word difference between an amateur player and a professional player, it takes a lot of time, countless years of hard work, and countless failures and blows to become a professional player to take this step.

As a reborn person, Li Cai has systematic help, the steadiness of an adult and the spirituality of a teenager. In order to reach the level of the punching section in a short time.

Although it has the level of rushing section, in the annual National Go Fixed-stage Competition, which is known as the "Go College Entrance Examination", it is the process of amateur chess players "carp jumping over the dragon gate", so you can imagine how fierce the competitive pressure is.

Many people have gone through many fixed-stage competitions, but they have not been able to set the stage, is their level not enough? No, in addition to the level of strength, there is also the examination of on-the-spot performance and spiritual quality.

Because there is a limit on the age limit of the fixed stage race, you cannot participate in it if you are over 18 years old. Therefore, the participants in the fixed-stage competition are all immature teenagers and children. In the case of losing a game of chess, many people will be nervous in the next game, and their due strength cannot be fully exerted in the nervous mood, resulting in losing a game and then losing in a row, thus failing in the fixed stage.

It can be said that the test of the fixed-stage competition is not only your strength, but also your mental quality and ability to adjust your state.

Therefore, Li Cai occupies a great advantage, and has a psychological quality that no one else has, that is, a "big heart".

……

On a July day, the sun was hot, and Li Cai followed the leading teacher of the Nie Whirlwind Dojo and the classmates in the rushing class who participated in the qualifier competition, and came to Rongcheng.

Of course, Li's mother and the other children's parents also came together, after all, this is a game that will affect the child's life.

Li Cai sat in the bus and looked at Rongcheng, which is the world's food capital, one of the top ten ancient capitals of China, and has the reputation of "the land of abundance".

The rows of ginkgo biloba along the road set off the beautiful enthusiasm of the city of Rongcheng.

Tan Xiao looked at Li Cai, who was not nervous at all, still enjoying the scenery of Rongcheng, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Li Cai, aren't you nervous? ”

Li Cai smiled and said calmly: "What's the use of being nervous now? Relax, keep a normal mind, play at the level you should in the game, and then do your best to play every game of chess." ”

Wang Cheng, the leading teacher in the front seat, listened to this, smiled with relief, and said: "What Li Cai said just now is good, Tan Xiao should not be too nervous, people playing chess in a nervous situation are prone to mistakes." ”

Wang Cheng sighed in his heart: "Li Cai is only 7 years old and so calm, compared with Li Cai, Tan Xiao is still not calm!"

Tan Xiao, who is only four years older than Li Cai, can be said to be a genius at this age. But people are afraid of comparison, and when compared, Li Cai is better than Tan Xiao at a young age, more calm, like an adult.

Nie Lao praised Tan Xiao in his previous life, and said: "Among the apprentices after Gu Dali and Chang Xiaohao, I am most optimistic about Tan Xiao and think that he will win the world championship." ”

And the appearance of Li Cai overshadowed most of Tan Xiao's brilliance, after all, people always see the most outstanding one, just like in international competitions, most people only remember the champion, as for the runner-up, sorry, not the first, it will soon be forgotten.

The next day, the qualifiers began, in a club in Rongcheng, except for the top 40 chess players in the last competition, other chess players all participated in the qualifiers, and Tan Xiao last participated in the final score of the fixed stage match was 41, no way, Tan Xiao's luck can be said to be too back.

According to the results of his previous life, Tan Xiao was the first player to be promoted to the early stage of his career.

And this fixed-stage competition has become different because of Li Cai's participation, the future fate has changed, and the emergence of the butterfly effect is inevitable.

Before the start of the game, Li was divided into Group C, and Tan Xiao was assigned to Group B.

Tan Xiao saw that Li Cai was not in the same group as him, and couldn't help but rejoice, because playing chess with Li Cai, he lost more and won less, and after Li Cai used his skills, he never lost the game with Tan Xiao.

The game began, and Li Cai thought about a quick decision, so he directly used the layout of the skill Nie Whirlwind.

As a result, a trap was set at the beginning of Li Cai's layout, and Li Cai's opponent originally saw that Li Cai was so small, because he met a soft persimmon, and he was overjoyed: "It seems that this is for me to win a game first!"

Because of Li Cai's young age, the opponent despised Li Cai very much, and after using his skills, Li Cai had the level of professional nine dan at the beginning of the layout, so Li Cai's opponent was sad, and he was slaughtered by Li Cai directly in the middle game, and simply lost the game.

Seeing the chess game that had ended, Li Cai's opponent was dumbfounded, unable to believe that he had lost so quickly, and it was a child so much younger than himself, and a sad feeling instantly arose in his heart, and he couldn't mention his love for Go.

Some people fail, but they are still able to get up, but some people fail, and they can't get up again, and Li Cai's opponent is the latter. was defeated by Li Cai, a young child like Li Cai, without the slightest power to parry, Li Cai's opponent felt that he had learned chess for so many years, all in vain.

Li Cai looked at his opponent with a loose look in his eyes, knowing that he had lost his fighting spirit, and it was estimated that this qualifier would not pass, and if he could not get up from this defeat, the door of professional chess players would be closed to him.

In the next game, Li Cai did not use his skills when he was sure that he had qualified, but played with his real level.

As a result, Li Cai still won all, after all, Li Cai basically has no other extracurricular activities except for practicing chess every day, TV, and games are not played, Li's father and Li mother beware of Li Cai's going on like this, so taciturn, it is estimated that even his girlfriend will not be early in the future (so young, he will worry about Li Cai's lifelong events in the future, it is really difficult for Li Dad and Li Ma).

After the qualifiers, Li Cai and Tan Xiao both successfully qualified for the fixed stage competition.

And Guan Xiaotong, who was far away in Beijing, returned to school after filming, and saw the empty seat next to him in the classroom, and felt bored in class.

Because he hasn't been in class for so long, although Guan Xiaotong has his own study, he still can't keep up with the content of the teacher's lectures, and he originally wanted to ask Li Cai to help him tutor his homework, but he didn't expect him to come to class.

Because Li was only last semester, he was the first in the exam, so the subjects were all full marks. And Li Cai is lazy every day, and he doesn't listen carefully in class, but he can take the first exam. Therefore, Guan Xiaotong felt that Li Cai had any school secrets, so he wanted to ask Li Cai.

Thinking of this, Guan Xiaotong muttered: "Dead Li Cai, stinky Li Cai, I won't come to class, I won't play with you." ”

And Li Cai, who was far away in Rongcheng to participate in the fixed-stage competition, didn't know what was going on, and sneezed a few times in succession.

Li Cai muttered: "Who is thinking about me? It seems that my cold and cold style boy is very popular with little girls! It's just that so many people miss me after not going to school for such a short time." ”

After Li Cai finished narcissistically, he didn't care about Tan Xiao, who was stunned next to him, and followed Li's mother back to the hotel to rest.

Staying in the hotel, Li Cai still played chess games, reviewed the game, thought about his shortcomings in today's game and corrected them.

In the past few days, in addition to playing with the chess players of the Chong Duan class in the dojo, Li Cai did not go to taste the food of Rongcheng and visit the scenery of Rongcheng, but just recuperated and maintained his best condition to prepare for the next official competition.
