"Oh? Looking for my help? Mu Yan is strange, he still has some friendship with Qian Xuehai, but Qian Xuehai is engaged in research, that thing is too high, and he can't help with his undergraduate level. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for Duan Lao, it was just because he had played chess by chance, could it be that he still let himself help play chess?

"Yes, Mr. Shepherd." Duan Lao smiled, "After playing chess with you last time, I went back to study for a long time, and found that your way of playing chess is really wonderful, but the old man, I have a dull mind and can't think of the tricks. ”

"Tomorrow there will be one in the provincial capital. I would like to invite Mr. Mu to participate in the Japanese Chess Friendship Tournament. ”

"Oh? Chess tournaments? "Not only in chess tournaments, but also at the national level. Mu Yan was slightly surprised, playing chess by himself is purely a hobby, why do you want to play this kind of competition?

At this time, Qian Xuehai explained, "Mr. Mu, in fact, I have to find you, the other party has a very strong opponent, there are not many people who can reach that level in our side of the competition, Brother Duan can be said to be the head of chess in our country, but the person on the other side, last year, played against Brother Duan, lost three games in a row, so he went back to study chess painstakingly, and he still specializes in restraining Brother Duan's way of playing chess, yesterday Brother Duan and that person passed a game and lost. ”

If it weren't for this, Qian Xuehai wouldn't have told Duan Lao Muyan that he lived here, let alone accompanied him on a personal trip.

"That's right, and he lost very quickly, and he has already figured out how I played chess." Duan Lao smiled bitterly.

If it's just that you lose, it's okay to say, but when it comes to the national level, the meaning is another matter.

The person in the island country is also a pervert, and he even deliberately collected information about his past chess play, because every game has a video recording, so this is very easy. After studying every chess game of Duan Lao, he really let the guy in the island country find Duan Lao's weakness.

"There are some people like that." Mu Yan smiled, how everyone plays chess actually has a potential inertia, which is difficult to change, and even he will do this involuntarily, Duan Lao's weakness has been found by others, and it is really not easy not to lose.

"But, wouldn't it be okay to wait for the game to be played against him by another person?" Mu Yan asked rhetorically.

Qian Xuehai and Duan Lao smiled bitterly again, and when they said the reason, Mu Yan understood that except for Duan Lao, who could defeat the island country, there was no one else to replace him. And Duan Lao was seen through the flaws by others.

"Mr. Mu, I am also relieved of your chess skills, and the sponsor of this tournament also provides a prize of one million, Mr. Mu must participate."

Although he knew that Mu Yan was not short of this million, he would have an extra bargaining chip when he said it.

Mu Yan nodded, "I'll go to the competition tomorrow." ”

"That's great!" Duan Lao's hanging heart finally let go, and seeing Mu Yan's reluctance just now made him worry.

……

The next day.

Duan Lao called early in the morning, although Mu Yan had agreed to participate in the competition, but just in case, he still called to remind Mu Yan personally, lest he forget.

Mu Yan drove to the provincial capital.

Duan Lao had already greeted Mu Yan in person.

"Old Duan, I'm not late, am I?"

"I'm not late, it's just right, haha, let's go in, the game is almost over." Duan Lao said with a smile.

The tournament is played in the gymnasium of a university, and although chess is nowhere near as a football match, many students still come to watch.

A lot of people had already gathered in the competition venue, and as soon as Mu Yan entered, he saw many island people.

Duan Lao arranged a seat for Mu Yan and explained the process of the game to Mu Yan.

"There are six groups in this competition, each side sends six representatives, the preliminary round is selected by both of us, this has passed, Mr. Mu can be nominated directly, and the knockout round can be carried out for a while."

"According to international practice, we use a substitution system, that is, the players are sorted according to their level, and the opponent is the same, and the substitutes are added. The outcome is a best-of-three system, with every three games being one game. One point will be counted for a win, 0.5 points will be counted for a draw, and no points will be deducted for a loss. 2 points are scored for a win, which is used to calculate the team points. ”

"Mr. Mu, you didn't have a rank before this, so according to the rules of the game, it should be placed last, but in this way, you can't be ranked first, so you can be my substitute."

"No problem." Mu Yan also understood the rules, as for whether he was a substitute or not, it didn't matter.

At this time, a black-faced man who was about fifty years old walked over, "Old Duan, how will we arrange here in a while?" Why don't you let me be your replacement. Although Yamamoto Nochu is very powerful, but in addition to relying on chess skills, playing chess also depends on brain power, Duan Lao, you play the first and third games, and I play the second game, so that Duan Lao can also rest, and maybe he can win him. ”

"No need," Duan Lao smiled and waved his hand, "I've already found someone to replace me." ”

Duan Lao pointed at Mu Yan and introduced it to the people present, he hadn't told these contestants before.

"Old Duan, who is he? Why haven't we heard of him? The black-faced man's eyes revealed disdain, and he was sure that he didn't know Mu Yan, or that he had never heard of this person in this circle.

Coupled with the fact that Mu Yan is so young, he can't believe it anyway.

"Mr. Mu's chess skills are above you and me, you can rest assured, I will let Mr. Mu play three games in a while." Duan Lao said lightly.

"What?"

"Old Duan, how can this work!"

"That's right, you can't do it anymore, wouldn't it be even more hopeless to change someone else?"

"Duan Lao thinks twice!"

Everyone else persuaded Duan Lao that if the black-faced man and Duan Lao's closed disciple were replaced, it would be reasonable. However, they checked the registration information of the participants, and Mu Yan had not participated in any chess competitions before this, so there was no record of any rank......

There are no records of any ranks!

The people present, even the worst, had participated in chess tournaments at the national level and had already won the title of grandmaster, which required a championship in an individual competition at the national level, or two second places, or three third places.

But Mu Yan didn't even have a third-level chess player......

"You don't need to persuade the teacher, I think the decision to let Mr. Mu replace the teacher is very good, and I respect the teacher's arrangement."

At this time, Duan Lao's closed disciple Xiao Wang also spoke. Although he also wants to be a substitute for Duan Lao and challenge Yamamoto Ono, he still has to focus on the overall situation at this time. (To be continued.) )
