On the morning of Monday, July 12, the Go Fixed-stage Tournament officially kicked off at the Beijing Chess Academy.

This time, a total of 276 underage chess players participated in the competition, all of whom were good seedlings selected from all over the world.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Ye Xiaoya, who won the Evening News Cup championship four months ago, of course, her reputation is not limited to this, a month ago in the college entrance examination, she also became the champion of the college entrance examination in Xi Province.

For Ye Xiaoya's participation in the fixed-stage competition, those chess players who are going to come to the fixed-stage are not very happy.

"Didn't Ye Xiaoya go to college in the college entrance examination, why did she come to the competition."

"As soon as this Ye Xiaoya comes, there will be one less quota for the fixed section."

"The undefeated girl Ye Xiaoya, her name is not small, if I meet her, I must let her lose a game."

"Don't brag, if you really meet Ye Xiaoya, I'm afraid that people will let you take the lead, and you won't have a chance to win."

Contrary to the participating chess players, the professional bosses of the Beijing Chess Academy are very happy.

"Great, this Ye Xiaoya is finally going to participate in the professional fixed-stage competition, and our Chinese women's Go is about to be revived."

"Jin Lao, I think Ye Xiaoya doesn't just want to revive women's Go, maybe she has a good chance to compete with Zhao Yajun."

"Xiao Zhang, I'm afraid it's too early to say, although I am very optimistic about Ye Xiaoya, but Zhao Yajun's height is not something that can be achieved in a short time, I am looking forward to that day."

If you hear this news, the most excited people are Zhou Yangfan and others from the Beijing Chess Academy.

"Ye Xiaoya participated in the fixed-stage competition, and she can finally meet the real person, if she is really quiet and quiet." When Fang Tianhe discussed this matter, he first asked, "Then are we going to hide it for her?" ”

"Then it depends on what she means, the 200,000 prize is still in Orange Go, when will she admit that she is quiet and quiet, then when will she be able to receive the bonus." Zhou Yangfan smiled: "Of course, all this is still our guess, chess king, what do you think?" ”

"I don't have a big opinion." Zhao Yajun said with a smile: "I'm going to South Korea to participate in the FC rapid chess final in two days, whether Ye Xiaoya is quiet or not, I will trouble you to help take a look." ”

"Regardless of whether she is quiet or not, this little girl's chess is also very good, which deserves our attention." Fang Tianhe nodded and said.

There are a total of 11 rounds of this fixed-stage competition, according to the rules, 9 consecutive wins will advance to advance, and the rest of the players will continue the points cycle of the next 2 rounds to determine the 2nd to 12th place candidates.

That is to say, among the 276 people this time, only 12 people can succeed in the fixed section, and the others have left gloomily.

Millions of chess students, most of whom start at the age of six, after several years of Go training, wave after wave of elimination and screening, only Go elites from all over the world have the opportunity to go to the venue of this fixed stage competition and compete for the final set of places.

In the first round of the game, Ye Xiaoya played against a boy of a similar age, named Dong Haotian.

Before the start, neither of them spoke much, just nodded slightly.

Ten minutes later, when Ye Xiaoya walked to 41 steps in the dark, Dong Haotian hugged his head and fell into the long exam.

In fact, before the official start of the competition, when Dong Haotian knew that his opponent was Ye Xiaoya, he had already judged himself to lose in his heart.

Ye Xiaoya is the first place in the Wanbao Cup, and she is also a mythical figure in the amateur world who won all the matches in the amateur professional exchange tournament and is known as the undefeated girl.

He also participated in the Wanbao Cup at the beginning, but he didn't enter the top 16, and he didn't have any confidence in playing against this legend.

Of course, even if you know that you are defeated, you must try your best to play well, and no one knows what the final result will be until you start playing chess.

But by the 41st move, Dong Haotian had already understood that his general trend had gone, and his white chess had collapsed because of a moment of carelessness, and the chance of winning was almost zero at this moment.

However, he still had to continue to struggle, and after a long test of fifteen minutes, he shifted his position and chose a new battlefield.

To his surprise, the opponent did not respond to his move, but made another move in the corner that had already been eaten.

"Is this a sign of chess to announce that she has won?" Dong Haotian was a little incomprehensible, but he felt that his opportunity had come, originally Ye Xiaoya only needed to follow Ying with one hand, and then move smoothly, and the final result didn't need to be thought about at all, but now because white chess can move two moves in a local way, the situation is different.

When the white chess Dong Haotian fell the 44th move, Ye Xiaoya nodded slightly.

This move was as she expected, it was a good move at the moment, and it didn't go out of the best spot she thought.

After a battle at the beginning just now, Ye Xiaoya knew that Dong Haotian's level was the strength of Zhunye 6, and it was very reluctant to determine the professional rank at this level, and it required a lot of luck.

But when he met his strongest amateur chess player in the first game, he obviously couldn't be lucky.

So in order to make up for it, Ye Xiaoya definitely gave the other party a little guidance, that is, so that he could gain as much as possible in this game of chess when he had the hope of winning.

Of course, Dong Haotian didn't understand this at first, he just saw a glimmer of hope, so he kept working hard, and although Ye Xiaoya's chess was a little better than him, it didn't suppress him to death, he always had a chance to resist.

If there is hope in his heart, then the motivation will be generated, and after the initial mentality of defeat, Dong Haotian thought carefully about every move, and soon his time was a little insufficient.

"You have to hurry, it's all my fault for the bad start." Dong Haotian sighed secretly in his heart, seeing that he only had twelve minutes left, and the opponent still had more than an hour, he also understood that the other party was not serious.

This game of chess was played until 167 moves, Dong Haotian lost in overtime, he still felt that he had hope, if he was given more time, he would not necessarily lose.

"Thank you for the advice, you're doing well." Ye Xiaoya said with a slight smile.

"Thank you for your advice, I'm not good at the front, the calculation is too slow, and the time is not enough." Dong Haotian said regretfully.

"Yes, it's also important to allocate your time wisely, and I wish you a better game in the future." Ye Xiaoya echoed and said.

For this boy of the same age, Ye Xiaoya wants to help him, since the meeting is also fateful, to help him build a little self-confidence, he will have more opportunities in the later games, but whether he can successfully step into the professional Go circle and walk out of his own path still depends on his own luck and efforts.

After having lunch in the canteen of the Beijing Chess Academy, Ye Xiaoya went to the arena to wait for the second round of the game to start.

The opponent in this second round is named Xu Zhiruo, and the name is a girl, and when they met, Ye Xiaoya was shocked by her age, and she was only a ten-year-old girl.
