The next day, Su Rui came to the airport again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no competition in the Miracle team these days, he is going to fly to the capital.

The reason why Su Rui wanted to go to the capital was mainly to participate in a competition, a Go tournament called the Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament.

Founded in 1989, the Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament is one of the oldest existing Go competitions, which are held by three TV stations, namely Zhenguo CCTV, Japan's NHK and South Korea's KBS, as well as the Zhenguo Chess Academy, the Japan Chess Academy and the Korean Chess Academy.

The rules of this competition are that one hand must be made within 30 seconds, and there are ten maneuvers for a total of 10 minutes, and the game adopts a single-elimination system, and the champion of the previous edition can directly enter the semi-finals.

This year's Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament is the turn of the Zhenguo Chess Academy, and the host city is the capital, which is why Su Rui wants to go to the capital now, just to participate in this competition.

Originally, Su Rui was not qualified to participate in the competition, mainly because he had not participated in the Zhenguo CCTV Cup, let alone the champion and runner-up, so naturally he was not qualified to participate in the competition.

However, due to the illness of the runner-up of this year's CCTV Cup, he was unable to participate in this year's Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament, so there was an extra place to participate.

And Su Rui happened to be the champion of this year's Lunar New Year Cup, so he naturally obtained this qualification and was able to participate in the Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament.

That's why he's going to fly to the capital and then go to the competition.

The prize money of this Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament is not much, even if you win the championship, you can only get a prize of 1 million, which is not much, and it is less than a football match.

However, Su Rui's participation in this Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament was not for prize money, but for the attention of the game.

Since this tournament is co-organized by Zhen, Japan and South Korea, there will be a lot of attention in the three countries, and many people who like Go will watch this tournament and support the players of their own countries.

Therefore, the attention of this Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament is very high, and the number of viewers is much higher than that of ordinary Go competitions.

This time, as long as Su Rui can beat other players in the competition and win the championship, he can naturally gain a lot of faith points, which is an inevitable result.

For the sake of faith, even if the champion has no prize money and only one trophy, he will participate.

For Su Rui, faith is much more important than bonuses, 1 million bonuses are nothing, but 1 million faith points are a lot, and he is also confident that 1 million faith points can create a value of 10 million yuan.

In this way, he is bound to win this competition, and winning the championship has become the goal of this trip.

What's more, Su Rui upgraded his Go skills to level 12, and the more he participated in the competition, the more benefits he would get, and the faith points consumed by the previous upgrade could be fed back with ten or a hundred times the feedback.

For the sake of faith, he did not hesitate to put aside other things and flew to the capital to participate in the competition.

Of course, if this competition was held in other countries, Su Rui might not be able to participate, and he would only have time for these few days.

In a few days, he will not only participate in the LPL Spring Tournament, but also the AFC Champions League will soon start.

However, this year's Asian Cup TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament was held in the capital of Zhenguo, as long as Su Rui hurried up, he could still be in time.

After flying from Shenzhou City to the capital, he went directly to the competition venue.

On the same day, Su Rui participated in a tournament for the first round in order to determine the semi-final spot.

This is a rapid chess game, the pace of the game is very fast, the players have to make a move in 30 seconds, and if you think slowly, you will not be able to keep up with the pace of the game.

It can be said that Su Rui rarely participates in rapid chess competitions, but this does not mean that he has no experience in this area, or that he is not good at rapid chess.

In previous tournaments, although he only participated in one rapid chess tournament, but in other competitions, he also played as rapid chess, in order to save faith points, he would play chess very fast every time, which is no different from rapid chess competitions, but this time the players are just as fast.

Therefore, in this rapid chess match, Su Rui will not fall behind and will not lose to other players.

With 12 levels of Go skills, he can quickly figure out which move is the most appropriate, which is the biggest advantage in rapid chess.

For example, in the first round of the game, Su Rui's chess speed was extremely fast, basically he could make a move within five seconds, and he didn't need to use thirty seconds at all, which invisibly also put a lot of pressure on his opponent.

In the first round, his opponent was a Japanese player with a Go skill level 11, which is one of the strongest players in the Japanese game.

It's just that in the face of the 12-level Go skills, it is impossible for this Japanese player to turn the tables, and he was led by Su Rui throughout the game, and finally lost the game within an hour, which is still the opponent's ten maneuvers of time, otherwise the game will end faster.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Rui didn't want his opponent to lose so ugly, he deliberately slowed down the pace, otherwise, the Japanese player would have lost faster and more ugly, and it wouldn't have taken as long as an hour.

There is such a huge difference between the 12-level Go skill and the 11-level Go skill.

What's more, in this kind of rapid chess tournament, players don't have so much time to think about their moves slowly, so they are at a disadvantage, and having a level 12 Go skill can play a greater advantage.

As a result, it is very normal for the Japanese player to lose to Su Rui within an hour.

Su Rui only took an hour to end the game, and the other two groups of games took about two hours to end the game one after another.

At the end of the first round, the three winners will advance to the semi-finals with the previous champions, thus determining the two players to advance to the finals.

The semi-finals were held in the afternoon.

After the draw, Su Rui's assigned opponent was the previous champion, that is, Zhenguo's chess player.

If he could, he didn't want his opponent to be a Zhenguo player, not because he was worried about losing, but he wanted to beat players from other countries more than Zhenguo.
