For the sake of fairness, modern Go rules introduce a sticker system, that is, when the number of eyes occupied by both sides is finally calculated, black must deduct six and a half meshes to offset the first move. ①

Handicap is left unmarked by default, and with a few pieces, Black will put a few pieces on the board first, and then White will move on. Therefore, letting a backgammon is that the transferee takes the black first, and the final game is not close to the eye, so it is also called the handicap.

Miyazaki Liudan naturally waited for Xie Yi to settle first, but Xie Yi sat motionless, not knowing what he was waiting for. Miyazaki Liudan is self-conscious, and he doesn't say anything to urge, but just smiles gracefully and sits quietly.

Only Sun Suhe raised his eyebrows, he finally understood what Xie Yi meant by "conditional chess" earlier, everyone present would be wrong, let Yizi is right, the question is who let whom, Xie Yi is confidently waiting for Miyazaki Liudan to fall first.

After about twenty seconds, no one was left behind, Xie Yi nodded solemnly, and calmly broke the silence: "I understand, I am too conservative, one son has no suspense, and the second son is good at winning or losing." It's really not interesting to let only one son go down, I'll also challenge it, just let the second son, although there is pressure, but it will definitely be a good game. ”

As she spoke, she took out two sunspots from the chess box next to her and placed them for Miyazaki's six dans. On the blank board, two sunspots abruptly place two diagonal stars in the lower left and upper right corners (2).

Xie Yi himself lifted a white piece and slammed it on the small (3) position in the lower right corner, causing a crisp sound that resounded through the chess room.

"Let's start, can you keep up with me, Liudan?"

Without waiting for Mr. Akutagawa to translate, Director Miyazaki Liudan and Hirano had already changed their faces and frowned.

Once the two chess players sit in front of the chessboard, they have not yet landed, and they pay attention to the game method applicable to both sides, which represents the difference in chess strength between the two, which is the chess part, also known as the hand.

On the premise of not being close to the eye, the hands of two chess players of equal strength are combined as "split first", that is, the two sides take turns to hold black.

The next level is "first phase", the lower hand holds black, holds white, and then holds black, and the three sets are alternated.

Once again, it is "set first", and the black will always be the first.

Again, "first two first", the first hand is to hold a black plate, then a game by two sons, and then a black game, and three sets to rotate.

After that, and so on, two first two, two sons, two three two, three two three, three sons, three sons......

At the same time, according to the tradition of Japanese Go, when Party A wins more than Party B four games in the game record of both sides, Party B can be "demoted", and when A meets B in the future, Party B needs to play with the next level of hand.

Chess can be said to be a professional chess player's life honor and disgrace, around the chess has performed countless grievances and entanglements, there is a famous chess story, Mu Gu Minoru Jiudan was relegated in the chess saint Wu Qingyuan's promotion of ten chess, Jiudan was ashamed, so that the two friends have not been in contact for more than ten years.

In the past, it was generally believed that one son was three dans, and the ninth stage of the profession could make three sons at the beginning of the career. However, due to the deepening of the professionalism of Go, there are more and more chess players, the strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the gap between the professional ranks is gradually narrowing.

Therefore, Xie Yi's move is almost an insulting provocation for a professional sixth duan, and in slang words, it is no less than standing in front of the other party in a serious manner, and the sentence "Hey, Lao Tzu is your grandfather".

If it weren't for the fact that it was a young girl who made such a provocation, and because of the face of Director Hirano, no matter how good Miyazaki Liudan's cultivation was, he would have brushed his sleeves away on the spot.

"President Sun, translator......" Akutagawa Ryuya didn't know much about Go, but he also saw that Xie Yi's words seemed to be very inappropriate.

"Translate for her truthfully. Sun Suhe said. He smiled bitterly in his heart, no wonder Xie Yi had been vague when he said "conditions" before, just blindly begging himself to agree to facilitate this game, it turned out that what she wanted was to let the second son challenge a professional sixth dan, if she really won this game, there is no doubt that it was a blockbuster, like a thunder on the ground, enough to shake any rules to stand aside. But does she really have what it takes to match this confidence?

Maybe this should no longer be called self-confidence, but should be called arrogance, arrogant to the boundless game of chess, in this battle, Sun Suhe's blood seems to be hot, he secretly made up his mind, today no matter what, to promote this game of chess, not only because he has promised Xie Yi, but also because he intuitively feels that it will be an unspeakable regret to miss such a game of chess, and he wants to witness the result of this battle with his own eyes.

After listening to Akutagawa Ryuya's translation, the smile that had always hung on the corners of Miyazaki's mouth quietly retracted, and he frowned and looked at Hideo Hirano, he needed an explanation.

Director Hirano was also at a loss at this time, and he couldn't figure out the situation. But after all, he has a lot of experience in dealing with things, and after nodding to Miyazaki Liudan to appease, he smiled and said to Sun Suhe: "President Sun, is there any misunderstanding? You may not know the meaning of handicap in Go. ”

Sun Suhe's stomach couldn't be clearer about the meaning, he smiled and pretended to be stupid and said, "Is there any problem? ”

Director Hirano suddenly rolled his eyes in his heart, really, it really doesn't know the height of the sky, no matter how powerful it is, it is too ridiculous to let the second son, after all, Hideki Miyazaki is a professional sixth dan, let him have two sons? Now the strongest Inoue Yuta Kudan in Japan may not dare to let go of this wild talk. He didn't even know what to say for a moment.

Eh, it's coming, it's just right, Sun Suhe smiled in his heart, looked up at the door, and a few seconds later, sure enough, he saw Owada and others at the door, and a staff member of the chess academy knocked on the door and came in, holding a document and asking Director Hirano to sign it. It turned out that Sun Suhe had already instructed Owada to implement the $100,000 sponsorship as soon as possible, and the money had already arrived in the account of the Japanese Chess Academy.

"I'm sorry. After apologetic, Director Hirano picked up the document and glanced at it quickly, and he was in a good mood when he saw it, he looked at Miyazaki Liudan, smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, please wait a while, I'll go out to deal with some official business, and I'll be back soon." ”

He got up and went out with the papers, and before going out, he glanced at Miyazaki Liudan, who naturally understood and found an excuse to go to the bathroom and went out together.

"Director Hirano, isn't this nonsense? What the hell is going on? Who are those two people?"

"I don't know. ”

"Don't know?"

"I was introduced by a friend, and I met for the first time today to talk about sponsorship and cooperation. ”

"And this chess...... They are Chinese, don't they understand the rules of Go?"

"Not necessarily Chinese, President Sun's parent company is a multinational company, maybe they are Chinese in the United States or Europe. Maybe that little girl really has no opponents in their local area, hey, I've been running around abroad all these years, and I've seen a lot of frogs at the bottom of a well. ”

"Then what about this game of chess, do I really want to mess around with them?"

......

In the game room, Xie Yi's eyes never took off the chessboard. Maybe it's because of her trust in Sun Suhe, or maybe it's because from the moment she fell off, everything has nothing to do with her except for chess. Sun Suhe beckoned to Owada, took out the checkbook, signed a check for a thousand dollars, handed it to him, and gave him a few words.

After a few minutes, Director Hirano shook Owada's hand with a smile on his face, and then handed the signed document to the staff. After the others left, he put his arm around Miyazaki's shoulders and put Sun Suhe's check in Miyazaki's pocket.

"I know that the second son is too wronged by you, but this is not an official competition. You can take this game fee first. It is a performance for the promotion of Go, so that they can see the breadth and profundity of Go. Well, how?"

Miyazaki Liudan sighed: "Okay, that's it." ”
