Chapter 337: Who's Next?

With Hong Yuanxi, who took the lead in black, put the chess pieces on the chessboard, this high-profile chess game also kicked off.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this game of chess has attracted much attention, not only all the amateur Go enthusiasts outside the Water Pavilion are paying attention to this competition, but even the chess games that should have been played in the Water Pavilion have been suspended, and those professional chess players from various countries have gathered around the two players to watch the progress of the chess game. And the organizers also noticed that this was an eye-catching thing, not only broadcast the game live on the screens erected outside the water pavilion, but also let the two commentators explain and judge each move of the two sides. As for the reporters who came to cover the news, they kept pressing their cameras with excitement on their faces. For them, today's trip is really worth it, and it is a pity to get such a sensational and explosive news, wouldn't it be a pity to take a few more photos?

Undoubtedly, if an amateur Go enthusiast who came late to see such a scene, he might suspect that he had traveled to the final of the International Go Invitational Tournament a few days later......

As the chess game progressed, Hong Yuanxi was surprised to find that Zhou Xiaochuan, who had just defeated Ji Dongyuan, was not only arrogant, but also behaved extremely calm. Not only that, but he also had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was playing against himself at the moment. Because Zhou Xiaochuan's chess style is surprisingly consistent with him.

Even the two commentators who were in charge of explaining the game were amazed at this moment. One of the female commentators was even more amazed: "As we all know, Hong Yuanxi Jiudan is known for his thick and calm chess style, but I didn't expect that once this amateur Go enthusiast's chess style is thick and calm, it is actually not inferior to him......" Speaking of this, she led the topic to her partner: "Hey, Zhang Chen, your chess style is also known for its thick and calm, how does this amateur Go enthusiast compare with you?" ”

"I'm not as good as him!" The male commentator known as Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with admiration in his eyes, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Not only me, but also those professional chess players in our country who are known for their heaviness and calmness are not as good as him!" To tell the truth, although I am unwilling, in today's world chess world, if you want to talk about thick and calm, no one can be the right of Hong Yuanxi! But today, the strength shown by this amateur Go enthusiast in being thick and calm vaguely overwhelmed Hong Yuanxi. If Hong Won-hee can't find a way to deal with it and continues to progress through the game, I believe that this amateur Go enthusiast will soon be able to usher in a double kill against a Korean professional chess player! As soon as his words came out, the amateur Go enthusiasts watching the live broadcast on the screen outside the water pavilion immediately cheered. At this moment, amateur Go enthusiasts have regarded Zhou Xiaochuan as their symbol and their hero, and after learning that Zhou Xiaochuan's situation is superior, they naturally want to cheer.

After the cheers subsided a little, the female commentator took over the topic and continued: "That's right, the strength shown by this amateur Go enthusiast in terms of poise and poise is indeed amazing. In addition, have you noticed that his chess style is quite changeable, in the last game against Chi Dongyuan, he has shown several different chess styles, there are thunderous onslaughts, there are also solid defense, and there is a layout that anticipates the enemy's opportunities. And now it's showing a calm and heavy side, which is really unbelievable......"

In fact, it was not only she who was surprised by Zhou Xiaochuan's weird and changeable chess style, but also many people at the scene. Because a person's chess style is closely related to his character. Many times, a person's chess style is branded in the bones, no matter how it changes, the core essence is actually the same, but some changes have been made in the means. However, these chess styles that Zhou Xiaochuan has shown successively are fundamentally different. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they really had some doubts about whether these two games of chess were .........played by several people in turn, "I can only say that there are really geniuses in this world!" Zhang Chen sighed: "However, what really surprised me was that such a genius master was actually just an amateur Go enthusiast rather than a professional chess player. What are those professional Go clubs that are clamoring to win the championship all day long and spend a lot of money to recruit everywhere? Why haven't you found such a genius master? Speaking ......of this, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly closed his mouth, made a gesture to his female partner, turned off the microphone in his hand, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and dialed the general manager of his professional Go club, and briefly told what happened on the phone, and finally solemnly summarized: "Mr. Ma, believe me, this person is definitely a genius!" A genius who is not weak and misses! If we can get him to join our club, maybe we can also win a first-class Go championship trophy! Yes, he just has that strength, I can swear to God......"

In fact, at this moment, there is more than one professional Go player like Zhang Chen who took out his mobile phone to notify the general manager of his Go club, and even those professional Go players from Japan. Professional Go players in Southeast Asia and elsewhere did not do this, because they knew very well that it would be impossible for such a genius to deign to go to their own country.

The Korean professional Go players led by Zhao Rongheng didn't care about calling their Go club at this time, and they all looked at the chessboard with serious expressions and solemn faces. With their strength and vision, it is naturally not difficult to see that the situation at this moment is very unfavorable to Hong Yuanxi. In fact, Hong Yuanxi, who was in the game, felt how uncomfortable and depressed he felt at this moment.

As the saying goes, the most difficult opponent for a person to defeat is himself. Zhou Xiaochuan's thick and calm chess style undoubtedly gave Hong Yuanxi an awkward feeling that he was playing against himself...... No, in the strict sense of the word, you should be playing against an enhanced version of yourself. Although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that the young man in front of him was actually better than him in terms of heaviness and calmness. Playing with such an opponent made Hong Yuanxi feel constrained, even if he was powerful, he couldn't use it, and he was really hard pressed to the extreme.

As time passed, Hong Yuanxi's disadvantages became more and more obvious, and the sweat oozing from his forehead became more and more. At this moment, he has long lost the confidence before the chess game starts. To be honest, being defeated by others in the way he is best at and most proud of is a great blow to Hong Won-hee. What's more, this person is also an amateur Go enthusiast. At this moment, Hong Yuanxi no longer despises Ji Dongyuan, because he feels that he has realized how bitter Ji Dongyuan's mood was just now.

"I ...... I throw in the towel. After feeling that there was no hope of winning, Hong Yuanxi admitted defeat in despair, he actually wanted to fight until the last moment, but with Ji Dongyuan's experience, in order to avoid losing too badly and losing face, he could only choose to admit defeat in the middle game, so that he could save the last bit of face.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled faintly and said, "Concession." ”

Because Hong Yuanxi's overall performance was quite polite, not as rude and disgusting as Ji Dongyuan had just shown, Zhou Xiaochuan returned the favor and did not say sarcastic.

The amateur Go enthusiasts outside the water pavilion were extremely excited at this time, and they applauded vigorously. If it weren't for the security guards who stopped them, I am afraid that they would have rushed into the water pavilion and hugged Zhou Xiaochuan to cheer and celebrate. And Hong Yuanxi, who lost the chess, stood up tremblingly after staring at the chessboard for three or two minutes, the whole person seemed to be several years old in an instant, and after exhaling a long breath of turbidity, he bowed deeply to Zhao Rongheng, and said with some self-reproach: "Sorry, captain, I disappointed you, I failed to defend the glory of the Korean Go world......"...,

"Hong Yuanxi Jiuduan, don't blame yourself, you have done your best......" Zhao Rongheng said with a wry smile, he could naturally see that Hong Yuanxi did his best and played a very high level in the game of chess just now, if he changed to another opponent, he would definitely be able to win the battle, but unfortunately, he met such an almost perverted demon master.

After comforting Hong Yuanxi for a few words, Zhao Rongheng set his eyes on Zhou Xiaochuan, who was sitting in front of the chessboard and did not get up.

What's next? Will you continue to challenge this amateur Go enthusiast, or will you give in and admit defeat? If I continue to challenge, what will I do if I lose again? If we can admit defeat softly, it will be a small matter for us to lose face, and it will be a big matter for us to humiliate the Korean Go community?

Zhao Rongheng realized what it means to be in a dilemma at this moment.

Zhao Rongheng's dilemma did not last long, because Zhou Xiaochuan, who was sitting in front of the chessboard, made a choice for him: "Who should be next?" ”

"What...... What the? Zhao Rongheng was stunned for a moment, and some did not react.

Zhou Xiaochuan said: "I asked, who should play chess with me next?" ”

"You're going to keep playing chess?" Zhao Rongheng was a little skeptical that his ears had heard it wrong, but Zhou Xiaochuan had just gone through two rounds of high-level fierce fighting, and he didn't even take a break, so he took the initiative to challenge them. You know, such a continuous high-level game, even professional Go players like them may not be able to afford it, let alone an amateur Go enthusiast? Of course, the chess power of this amateur Go enthusiast is undeniably very demonic......
