Chapter 160: It is to despise you
To the question posed by this bespectacled South Korean journalist.
Li Cai sneered a few times in his heart, obviously the bespectacled South Korean reporter was secretly changing concepts or didn't understand Go at all.
The changes made by Li Cai in the Hope Cup are only more bonuses for Chinese chess players after their victories, and there are no changes to the rules of Go, and there are only three rules of Go now, the first is the number method of Huaguo, the second is the number method of Japan and South Korea, and the third is the Yingshi Go rules (Ying's rules) and Zhiyun Go rules.
Although the rules are different, the results calculated by the three rules are generally the same, so there is nothing to change the rules.
When Li Cai explained the rules of Go one by one, he popularized the knowledge of this Korean stick who did not understand Go, and then said: "Therefore, there are no loopholes in the rules of the Go competition, they are all fair, and the sponsor is Chinese, so he is naturally qualified to give some bonus encouragement to Chinese chess players, if you want to change to our Chinese nationality, so that you can also enjoy this power." ”
After hearing Li Cai's answer, the people and reporters around them all secretly laughed behind their backs, and watched the bespectacled South Korean reporter make a fool of himself.
When the Korean reporter heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect Li to answer like this, but this Korean reporter is obviously a tendon, like Lee Sedol, his IQ is obviously not enough, and he actually asked stupidly: "Then you should also be treated equally, you are treating it differently, are you afraid that our Korean chess players will win the prize, right?"
Originally, Li Cai didn't bother to answer him, and planned to ask the next person to ask a question, but seeing his villainous face, Li Cai was very angry, and directly said his killer weapon when he was ready to deal with Lee Sedol's withdrawal.
"Since Korean reporters say that it is unfair, and think that this reward rule is because I am afraid of Korean chess players, and Chinese chess players are not as good as Korean chess players, it is very wrong. ”
Li Cai paused for a while, took a sip of water, and then said slowly: "Actually, I have prepared a rule, which is a convenient rule for foreign chess players, so that you Korean chess players will not get bonuses every year, and you will not see a glimmer of hope, so you will not participate." I set a rule in the finals, that is, if a Korean player loses five games, that is, after half of the ten games, he will not be able to get the 50 million prize money, but he can use the rule of fixed first, and then play chess, if he can tie, he will still have a chance to get 50 million money. ”
After Li Cai finished saying this, most of the reporters below looked at him with a blank face, not knowing what Dingxian in Go meant, there was no way, Li Cai could only explain.
"Dingxian is that in the two sides of the game, each game is black, and this rule is the rule of ancient Go, that is, black chess does not need to be close, do not let seven and a half eyes, the meaning of leading at the beginning. ”
After Li Cai finished saying this, the reporters below were stunned, and the Chinese reporters felt that Li Cai was too domineering, and they completely thought that the Korean chess players were not at the same level as themselves, and they could let Dingxian go.
After listening to Li Cai's explanation, the South Korean reporter's face was very ugly, and he felt that Li Cai was humiliating their Korean chess players and looking down on them.
As for the neon country reporter who played soy sauce, he originally came to see the excitement and was not going to ask questions, but when he heard Li Cai say that he wanted to let Dingxian, he felt very familiar, and if you look closely, isn't this the deeds of the former Showa chess saint? In the game, if the first move needs to be played first-come, so that the winning rate of the first hand can be equal, it means that the lower hand is not as good as the first hand. Even Fujisawa Kunosuke, Sakata Eio (one of the later chess overlords) and others were lowered to the point of "semi-first" twice, to the point of giving way first.
So, the neon country reporter immediately asked questions, but the neon country reporters were much more polite than the South Korean reporters, and they waited until Li Cai signaled before they got up to ask questions.
"Li Caijun, as far as we know, Master Wu Qingyuan only thought about it first in the past, and only a few times he let Dingxian do it, and you still have to be distracted to practice tennis, is your current strength still as powerful as before?"
Regarding the question of the neon country reporter, Li Cai smiled.
Indeed, Li Cai's doing this can also be said to be a tribute to Master Wu Qingyuan, but there is also a purpose, which is to suppress the arrogance of Korean chess players, so that they do not be self-righteous and are allowed to lose the game first.
"My purpose in doing this is very simple, they don't say it's unfair, I'm going to give them a convenient advantage to be able to use this rule to fight for a chance to split the 50 million prize evenly. Otherwise, I'm worried that their Korean players won't have prize money and can't see any hope, and then they won't want to participate, so there will be fewer people in the competition. ”
In this way, when Li Cai said that this foreign chess player had the power to make the first decision after losing five games, he was shocked.
And this press conference ended successfully after Li Cai said the explosive news, and he got the content he wanted.
After the interview, Li Cai left with his teacher Nie Whirlwind, preparing to go back to the dojo.
On the way, the teacher Nie Whirlwind said to Li Cai: "Xiaocai, are you sure that your current Go strength will make Li Shishi set the lead?"
Obviously, Li Cai's excellent tennis results in recent years, coupled with the fact that no one has seen Li Cai's Go level, they all feel that Li Cai has focused on tennis, and the strength of Go has naturally been left behind, and it is not as powerful as before.
Regarding the teacher's worries, Li Cai smiled and said indifferently: "I don't know! I haven't played yet?" However, if I force Lee Sedol to choose to give way to Dingxian in the game, I will already be invincible, and he can only fight for a draw, and I will not lose face anyway. ”
When Nie Whirlwind heard this, he suddenly realized, pointed at Li Cai and said, "You! It's really a lot of bad ideas, but when Li Shishi loses five games, he won't choose to let Dingxian go, after all, chess players want to be dignified and dignified." ”
Li Cai smiled and said to the teacher Nie Whirlwind: " I don't know for sure about other Korean chess players, but I have played with Lee Sedol so many times, I think that with his character, in the face of this opportunity to share the prize money of 50 million, he will definitely choose to let Dingxian, after all, 25 million is also a huge amount of money, few people can resist this temptation, I estimate that many chess players will be relieved of the face of chess players, and those who choose to let Dingxian, especially Korean chess players, most of them value interests, and only a few Korean chess players like Lee Chang-ho can resist the temptation of money. ”
Nie Xuanfeng thought about it, and indeed as Li Cai said, in the face of the opportunity to win 25 million, it is true that most chess players will put down their dignity as chess players, and few can resist this temptation.
And the rule that Li Cai said about letting Dingxian go first was quickly told to Lee Sedol by the South Korean reporters who attended the reception.
When Li Sedol heard this, he felt that Li Cai was obviously underestimating himself, so he naturally said angrily: "I will lose first, this is impossible, I will definitely win the game neatly and get the 50 million prize directly." Let Dingxian and keep it for Li Cai, when Li Cai loses five games, I will also agree to let Dingxian go. ”
In this way, the final of the Hope Cup is in the thick smell of gunpowder, and it is about to start.
