The next part of the Zhulin report is a series of meeting minutes, although there are few chapters and pages, and they are made up of waste paper that has been broken into pieces by a shredder, but it can roughly restore the negotiation process of the Chinese Chess Academy, the Korean Chess Academy, and the Japanese Chess Academy on the Chaoben Infang War.

There were also three private meeting notes and a recording of the meeting that was technically restored from a mobile phone. The former is scribbled and the latter has a beginning and no end, but there are still many things that can be seen in conjunction with the minutes of the meeting.

Of course, a large amount of space is devoted to the discussion of the details of the opening ceremony. At present, all the reports that can be seen from public channels about the Chaoben Infang are group photos with embarrassing smiles, boring speeches full of bureaucratic atmosphere, and media clichés such as "congratulations on the complete success", and there is almost nothing substantial. In contrast, although this bamboo forest report does not touch the real secret, it is undoubtedly quite precious and rich.

In this part of the report, the keywords that appear the most are naturally "Yuta Inoue" and "Bunhiro Honinbo".

According to the tradition of the Ben Yin Fang, the successive heirs will change their original surnames and names and go under the name of Ben Yin Fang. For example, the chess saint Honinbo Hidese was formerly known as Kuwabara Torajiro, and the last Honinbo Hideya was formerly known as Tamura Hoju.

In the era of title fights, this tradition is still respected, but instead of changing its real name, it has become a nickname. For example, Guan Shan Liyi, who won the championship of the first phase of the Ben Yin Fang War, was given the number Ben Yin Fang Li Xian by the Japan Chess Academy.

And the current title holder Inoue Yuta Kudan's nickname is Honinbo Fumihiro. The word Wenyu, the text is taken from the Manjushri Bodhisattva who holds the wisdom sword to break the troubles, Yu is taken from the original name of the nine sections of Inoue, the artistic conception is special, it is the current host of Kyoto Silent Light Temple, Silent Light Temple is the place where the original generation of the Honinbo counted sand and became a monk, and the name of the Honin Workshop is very deep.

According to the information in the Takebayashi report, the opening ceremony lasted for two days, and the venue was naturally at the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the most important ceremony on the first day was held in the Imperial Pond Garden, where the current title holder Honinbo Fumihiro first dropped a black on the chessboard to sound the first war drum for the Chaoben Inbo battle, and then another chess player should play a white hand, one black and one white, to play the Qiankun together, which was for the opening of chess.

Although it is only one move from each side, it is hardly a game, and it is more symbolic, but for each chess academy, before that, they have been on the battlefield, the position of the chess ceremony, the order of the representatives' speeches, the selection of the chessboard, and the docking of logistics...... Almost every detail needs to be negotiated. Everyone wants to fight for better conditions for their players before the start of the chess match, and playing momentum is equivalent to winning first.

And the most important of them is naturally the choice of another chess player, there is no doubt that Yuta Inoue will open the chess in the ninth dan, but it is not easy to finalize the chess player who should play this hand, and each chess academy hopes to attribute this glory to its own chess player. For this reason, the parties quarreled, and the meetings were held one after another, and no one was willing to give in easily.

In the end, the Japanese Chess Academy proposed that it would be possible to choose a young chess player who had just entered the dan to play against Inoue Kudan, so as to take a chess path to explore the idea of passing on the torch. In this way, all professional chess players who have been famous for a long time can also accept it.

In the end, this plan was supported by all parties. That recording with a head and no end has something to do with that.

"Xinguang, who?"

"It's Xiao Nie, you forgot, the day before yesterday on the Internet, I slaughtered our 'Ke Zhen Evil' two games of that kid, one of which was a dragon slaying and turnover, I thought that kid could do it early on, and directly pressed him with a lot of gold coins to win, and as a result, Lao Tzu made beauty. ”

"It turned out to be that Xiao Nie. Haha, Ke Zhe, this kid always plays online chess, but it's really not easy to win him two games in a row. I also watched the game of dragon slaying you mentioned, and both sides didn't take it seriously at first, but the rest was really exciting. If Xiao Nie, this kid, can experience more, his future is limitless, maybe he will be another Nie whirlwind. ”

"That's a long way off, it's still a long way off. There is no shortage of young geniuses in the Go world, but there are only a few people who can really make achievements. ”

"I don't think much of it, who would have thought that Nie Lao could play a shocking eleven consecutive victories in the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament? Heroes create the current situation, and the current situation creates heroes, who can say accurately?"

"Are you so optimistic about Xinguang?"

"Of course bullish is bullish, but ...... Haha, in the final analysis, it still depends on the strength on the chessboard, everything else is empty, even if the wind comes, then you have to have the ability to soar to 90,000 miles. By the way, will the Korean Chess Academy agree to this? I must fight again, what will I say when the time comes?"

"What can you say? If you want to fight, then use chess to speak. South Korea hasn't heard of any good seedlings in the past two years, I see that there are some green and yellow, and there should be no one who can win our Xiao Nie. ”

Sun Suhe flipped through the back after listening to the recording, and sure enough, it was finally determined that at the opening ceremony, Inoue Yuta would take the lead in the ninth section, Nie Xinguang would play the white back, and the new and old generations of professional chess players would each have a son, which kicked off the Chaoben Yin Fang War.

After that, in addition to the boring but necessary activities such as speeches, group photos, interviews, etc., it is followed by another highlight of the opening ceremony: Lianqi. The specific method is that the professional chess players participating in the competition each find an opponent, and each of them plays five pieces, which is used as their name card for the competition, and then the other two players are played, and everyone completes the game together. This game is expected to be played for two days, the first day in the Imperial Pond Garden, and the second day in the Imperial Inner Garden, where the battle for the pinnacle of chess begins while admiring the autumn leaves and red in the two unique palace gardens.

In the name of chess, announcing that he is officially participating in the competition of the super Ben Yin Fang is really a suitable thing for professional chess players. However, as soon as this plan of the Japanese Chess Academy was proposed, it caused a huge controversy. The problem is that the proposal to play a game for two days in a row involves a key point that is extremely important to each chess academy, and that is the time system of the game.

International chess tournaments generally use the "3 hours, 3 times, 60 seconds" time system, that is, both players have 3 hours of free use, after the 3 hours are used up, enter the second counting stage, each move must be made within 60 seconds, more than 60 seconds to record a timeout, overtime three times automatically lose.

Japan's three major title battles: Celebrity, Chess Master, and Honinbo have always used the two-day time rule, that is, players on both sides have 8 hours to use freely, rest for one night, and finish in two days, and only enter the 60-second countdown after the 8 hours are exhausted.

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages, but there is no doubt that everyone wants to play under the time system they are used to.

The Japanese Chess Academy insisted on using the two-day system, and spent a lot of time and energy lobbying for it.

"Although rapid chess is intense and exciting, it is full of regrets, and the fall is more based on feelings, and it is inevitable that there will be many regrets when reviewing. Only when you have enough time can you give full play to your strength and play chess without regrets. ”

"There is no difference between the two time systems for the AI, and each move is completed in a matter of seconds, no matter how difficult it is. But for human beings, if they encounter a difficult situation that requires a long examination, whether there is enough time or not, the result will be a world of difference. In the face of artificial intelligence, which is an eternal imaginary enemy, it is necessary for human chess players to rethink the time system of Go. ”

......

Nearly 10 pages of lobbying from all angles of this may have been useful, perhaps out of respect for the hosts, or perhaps for one of the most important reasons: two-day players tend to be less comfortable with rapid chess, but those who are used to playing rapid are hardly affected by playing two-day chess. In the end, all parties successfully reached a consensus, and the time rules of the Chaoben Cause Square War were determined to use the two-day system.

After reading the bamboo forest report carefully, Sun Suhe opened the car window, and the night breeze ruffled his hair, which also made him feel refreshed. He already knew the whole process and details of the opening ceremony, and as for whether there were any unknown changes that happened that day, it was another mystery.

The airport was almost in front of him, and a plane could be faintly seen in the night sky soaring into the sky, Sun Suhe once again confirmed his previous feeling, just tonight, that is, now, it is necessary for him to go to Tokyo immediately.

Take a trip to the headquarters of the Japanese Chess Academy in Tokyo.
