Chapter 339: Ghost Chess

Hong Won-hee walked to his side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and had a sympathetic expression: "Park Chang Ho Badan, I can understand your mood at the moment...... This guy is not a human at all, he is a demon! Defeated by a demon, we are not wronged! ”

Park Changhao nodded with affection, if there weren't too many people here, he really wanted to hug Hong Won-hee and cry well. (Read Novel.com!) )

Three wins in a row!

Three consecutive victories for amateur Go enthusiasts against Korean professional Go players!

The amateur Go enthusiasts outside the water pavilion are already excited and don't know what to say at the moment. It is not unheard of for amateur Go enthusiasts to win over professional chess players before. But it is unprecedented for someone like Zhou Xiaochuan to defeat South Korea's first-class professional Go player three times in a row. However, before they could open their mouths to cheer, Zhou Xiaochuan's words came into their ears again: "Next, whose turn will it be?" Although this sentence was very plain, everyone who heard it was shocked.

Could it be that he is still not satisfied with the fact that he has won three consecutive victories, and really wants to overturn this Korean professional Go team by himself? This...... Isn't that too sensational? You know, even the top professional Go players can't do such a thing! However, thinking about it, he has now won Ji Dongwon, Hong Won-hee and Park Chang-ho, and the Korean Go team is only left with Lee Dong-guk and Zhao Rongheng.

"It's my turn!" Li Dongguo didn't hesitate at all, and walked to the chessboard and sat down, but he didn't rush to guess, but asked, "You just fought three games in a row, do you want to rest first?" He knows very well that although his chess strength is slightly stronger than Ji Dongwon, Hong Yuanxi and Park Changhao, it is estimated that he will be more than lucky when he encounters a perverted demon like Zhou Xiaochuan. In this case, it is better to behave as a gentleman, and at least you can win some impression points.

Zhou Xiaochuan rejected his kindness: "Don't bother, let's solve it quickly." He said this, not because he was arrogant, but because Sun Wenwen and the three of them were still waiting for him outside the water pavilion, not to mention that it was close to noon now, and he also promised Fang Xiang to eat together, but he didn't want to disrupt his plan because of these Korean Go players, so he wanted to make a quick decision.

Quick?

Li Dongguo was choked by this sentence.

Although you are very powerful, although you have defeated three of our team members in a row, it is impossible to achieve a quick victory against me!

Li Dongguo's fighting spirit, which had been lost, burned again at this moment. He decided to use all his strength to fight Zhou Xiaochuan. Even if he loses in the end, he will have to create some trouble for Zhou Xiaochuan. At the very least, let his hopes for a quick victory be dashed. Only in this way can he defend his dignity as a professional ninth dan!

"Mr. Zhou, this is Li Dongguo's nine-section ......" Chang Lin began to introduce the opponent's situation to Zhou Xiaochuan again, in fact, after Zhou Xiaochuan defeated Ji Dongyuan, Hong Yuanxi and Park Changhao in a row, he already understood that even if he did not have his own introduction, Zhou Xiaochuan would definitely be able to figure out the opponent's situation in the shortest possible time and take corresponding measures, but he still habitually introduced.

Although Li Dongguo wanted to defend the dignity of his professional nine-dan, the reality always had a gap with his ideals, and he was soon defeated. Like Hong Won-hee and Park Chang-ho, he was also defeated by the way he was best at. It turned out that under Zhou Xiaochuan's request for a quick decision, the old turtle who didn't dare to slack off showed all his strength. This is also the reason why although Li Dongguo tried his best, he still couldn't last long. ..., just when Li Dongguo threw in the towel and stood up to talk to Hong Yuanxi and Park Changhao, who were sympathetic to each other, Mr. Qin Weiyuan, who had the title of the chess saint of China, Japan and South Korea, looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes, but there was a strange light, and he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "This young man's weird and changeable chess style is seven points similar to my deceased teacher." It's just that when my teacher died, his parents were probably not born, right? Although my brothers and sisters have recruited disciples, I basically know their disciples and grandchildren, and there is no such a talented young man......"

Qin Weiyuan's teacher was Gu Mingzhang, a Go player in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. He once traveled east to Japan to set up a ring and sprinkled war books, and successively played against ten top Japanese chess players, including those with the title of Honinbo, and achieved an impressive record of ten battles and ten victories, which shocked China and Japan for a while, and even the Japanese emperor had to award him the title of 'chess saint'. But he flatly refused under pressure, and quietly boarded a ship to return home overnight with the help of his friends before the Japanese military wanted to be unfavorable to him. It's a pity that because he was hidden in the cargo hold of the sea ship, he was infected with a disease, and although he was cured of the disease after returning to China, he also broke his body, fell a weak and sickly root, and died on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, ending this glorious and legendary life.

Although Gu Mingzhang has passed away for many years, professional Go players in China and Japan still remember him, the difference is that Chinese professional Go players use him as an idol and want to learn from him. Japan's professional Go players, on the other hand, regard him as their most powerful imaginary enemy. After all, in their opinion, Gu Mingzhang's refusal to award the title of 'Chess Saint' from the Emperor back then was an insult to their Yamato nation and to their Japanese Go community! If Gu Mingzhang hadn't died early, I'm afraid that all of them would have run to challenge one after another.

And when Gu Mingzhang defeated Japan's top chess players in ten battles and ten times, the method he used was exactly the same as Zhou Xiaochuan's current - to use the other way, and to give back to the other! Beat each other with the traits they are best at and are most famous for!

It is precisely because he is good at a variety of chess styles, weird and unpredictable, that Gu Mingzhang has won the title of 'ghost chess' in the Go world. As the name suggests, it means that his chess style is as changeable as a ghost. And now, when Zhou Xiaochuan is facing five first-class Korean professional Go players, the strange and changeable chess style he shows is the legacy of Gu Mingzhang. This also made Qin Weiyuan have an illusion just now, and thought that he had seen the teacher playing against others, so he let out such an involuntary sigh.

Is Lao Turtle's weird and changeable chess style related to Gu Mingzhang? Presumably, only it is clear to itself.

Just when Qin Weiyuan was doubtful and speculating, Zhao Rongheng also walked to the chessboard and sat down. As the captain and main player of the International Go Invitational Tournament in China, as the last and strongest opponent of the Korean Go team, he is under more pressure than the other four opponents. It was precisely for this reason that he had just sat down and had not started to play chess, when drops of cold sweat seeped from the ends of his hair and ran down his cheeks.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled faintly and asked kindly: "You seem to be very nervous, do you want to drink a cup of tea to suppress the shock?" ”

Zhao Rongheng took two deep breaths, calmed his nervous mood a little, and then shook his head and said, "No need, thank you for your kindness, let's start now." This kind of nervousness is still something he had when he was young, and since he became a high-level professional Go player, he has been insulated from nervousness. Unexpectedly, today, in the body of an amateur Go enthusiast, I once again experienced the feeling of nervousness.

"I would like a cup of tea, and playing four games in a row has made me a little tired and needs a cup of tea to refresh me." Before Zhou Xiaochuan's words were finished, Chang Lin, who was standing beside him and had finished introducing Zhao Rongheng's information to him, took the initiative to say: "The organizer has provided tea, so I'll go make a cup for you...... Hmm, since you're tired after four games in a row, why don't you take a break before playing the last game? ..., Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and shook his head: "Rest? No need, just make me a cup of tea. ”

Seeing this situation, Chang Lin didn't persuade much, and quickly went to make a cup of tea for Zhou Xiaochuan. And Zhao Rongheng was in good spirits after hearing the conversation between the two of them, and said secretly: "Why did I almost forget, this person has played four high-level chess games in a row, whether it is physical or mental, he must be in a period of exhaustion, as long as I am careful not to make mistakes, there may not be no chance of winning!" ”

However, as the game progressed, Zhao Rongheng soon realized how wrong his idea was. The guy in front of him doesn't seem to know what exhaustion is. Although he kept saying that his spirit was a little tired, judging from the steps he took, it was a delicate and meticulous layout, and there was no mistake or omission. On the contrary, it was Zhao Rongheng, although he withstood the pressure and fully exerted his strength, but he was still defeated in the face of the opponent's sharp offensive, and was killed by the other party in the way he was best at.

After the chess game was over, Zhao Rongheng sat in front of the chessboard and couldn't stand up for a long time. He regretted that he should not have sent Ji Dongyuan to participate in this event in the first place, and he also regretted that he should not continue to challenge after Ji Dongyuan lost. If it weren't for these two decisions, I'm afraid they wouldn't have lost such a big face. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world......

"I lost!" There were only three words, but Zhao Rongheng seemed to have exhausted all his strength before he said it.

"Concession." After winning, Zhou Xiaochuan behaved quite blandly, because in his opinion, today's five games of chess were all won by Lao Gui, and it had little to do with him. But in the eyes of others, his performance has become an honor and disgrace, and he has the style of a general.
