This Huaxia Cup World Chess Champion Invitational Tournament is also known as the Huaxia Cup Chess Champion Competition.

There are a total of eight contestants, including the world chess master Zhao runner-up, online chess god Ye Xiaoya, Chinese chess king Zhou Yangfan, Korean veteran Cho Xun hyun, Korean stone Buddha Lee Chang Ho, Japanese throne Zhang Xu, American chess champion Alexander Bell, and European champion Tom Jack.

Of these eight people, it is obvious that only the first two are here to compete for the championship, and the others are here to join in the fun.

Of course, you can't say that, after all, according to the rules, in this competition, the two seeded players, Zhao Yajun and Ye Xiaoya, have to fight against the other six professional masters first.

Therefore, they also have a chance to win in theory, but according to Zhao Yajun's record of 368 consecutive wins in the professional chess world, their winning rate is minimal.

First of all, the game is divided into two stages, the first stage is the group round-robin, Zhao Yajun and Ye Xiaoya are separated in two groups, and then there are four people in each group for three rounds of round-robin, and finally three consecutive wins are qualified, and the championship and runner-up are played in three rounds.

The second winner will compete for third place.

If there are no three consecutive wins in one of the groups and there are multiple double wins, then all the players with two wins will replay the points round-robin to determine the strongest player and compete for the championship.

There is also a premise for such a rule, that is, if Zhao Yajun and Ye Xiaoya lose a game, they have the right to cancel the concession.

Of course, these regulations are all just in case, after all, according to the winning rate of the chess demon Zhao Yajun, as well as the ability of the chess god Ye Xiaoya, this situation will basically not happen.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the first round of the group round of the Huaxia Cup Chess Championship began.

Ye Xiaoya group members, Zhou Yangfan, Cao Xunxuan, Alexander Bell.

Zhao Yajun team members, Lee Chang-ho, Zhang Xu, Tom Jack.

In the first game, Ye Xiaoya played against Cao Xunxuan.

Cho Hoon-hyun, a veteran of South Korea, is also an evergreen in the chess world, although his chess strength is not as good as that of young people in recent years, he still often fights on the front line.

In this chess championship, as the best chess player in South Korea in the last century, he can be regarded as successfully qualified among several candidates and won the place in this championship.

But he knows very well that the focus of this tournament is Zhao Yajun and Ye Xiaoya, and he is just here to make a cameo.

Cao Xunxuan looked at the delicate and elegant woman in front of her, which was very different from the three-star cup four years ago, but her temperament and image were undoubtedly more mature and stable.

"Mr. Cao, I have admired the name for a long time, and I hope this is a pleasant game." Ye Xiaoya bowed slightly and said in Korean, "Let's start." ”

Cao Xunxuan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Teacher Ye's Korean is really good, please give me more advice on this game of chess." ”

"Please advise."

Cao Xunxuan picked up the sunspots, and the first step was small.

A few years ago, Cao Xunxuan had already studied Ye Xiaoya's chess in depth, although it had been a few years, but he still hadn't figured out many places in those chess games, which made him feel that Ye Xiaoya was not weaker than Zhao Yajun at all.

And the recent elegant and quiet chess on the Internet has made Cao Xunxuan even more confused, so he simply stopped studying it.

In this game of chess, Cho Xun Hyun did not have the confidence to win, but in the case of receiving the first, he felt that he still had a chance to fight.

The game was played very quickly, and at 32 moves, white scored one by one and forced it into the air for black.

This move, in Cao Xunxuan's opinion, is obviously a bit excessive, if another person goes like this, he must immediately attack and make the other party pay, but Ye Xiaoya, who is as famous as Zhao Yajun, does not dare to act rashly.

Black dealt with 33 moves safely, and the next dozen moves were exchanged, and white took advantage of it a little, but white seemed to be very dissatisfied, and the 48th move was even more forceful twisting.

In this move, black has no way to retreat, and if he retreats again, then the advantage of being the first will be gone.

After thinking about it for ten minutes, Cao Xunxuan still didn't choose to fight, and the very light discarded switch made black lose a little again, barely retaining black's slight advantage.

This continued until the 72nd move, when White once again forcibly attacked the black outside of the chess, and Cho Xun Hyun frowned, and after fifteen minutes of thinking, began to fight.

This battle is obviously more advantageous for black chess, how can black chess be bullied, this white chess move is too much, if Cao Xunxuan's disciple moves like this, he will slap him on the head.

But in the face of Ye Xiaoya, a super master, Cao Xunxuan had no choice but to fight the chessboard, telling the opponent that it would not work like this.

Cao Xunxuan is eighty percent sure of this, and the long test just now made him feel that Ye Xiaoya may not be so good at playing this game of chess, especially the 72nd move, which may be her defeat.

Of course, in his eyes, black is an advantage, and white will inevitably be punished for such an excessive move, and his chances of winning are great.

But in Ye Xiaoya's eyes, white has already locked the win, and from the 64th move, black has no chance to win.

It's just that Master Cao can't see it, and he can't figure it out, but Ye Xiaoya, who has reached the 4th level of chess strength, has all the changes clearly.

Ye Xiaoya is different from Zhao Yajun, she has an evolving artificial intelligence program as a sparring partner, and in the experience of the 21-way chessboard, she has successfully advanced to the 4th level of God in more than a year.

This time, she agreed to participate in this World Chess Championship Championship, which is to defeat Zhao Yajun face-to-face.

When the chess game reached 104 moves, Cao Xunxuan stopped and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, he had already seen that the black chess was not good, and he had no chance to go to this game of chess.

With only a few dozen moves, he couldn't have imagined that his black chess pieces would fail so miserably, and the original external momentum had escaped all the way, and now he was barely working.

With a lead of more than 10 meshes on the white board, he has little time left, and the opponent still has more than 1 hour to reserve.

He knew that there was a gap between himself and Ye Xiaoya, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.

"I lost, thank you for the advice...... Master Cao landed two sunspots on the chessboard, this game he lost too fast, he didn't expect it himself.

But his defeat was expected by everyone.

In the other group, Zhao Yajun also easily defeated Japan's Zhang Xu, leaving the only Japanese master out.

After Zhang Xu lost, he asked with a smile on his face to take a photo with Zhao Yajun.

He rarely has the opportunity to play against Zhao Yajun, so this fight is an opportunity for him to learn, and in this regard, Zhang Xu's mentality is better.

The next day, the second round of the group stage began, with Ye Xiaoya facing Alexander Bale.

Because it was a round-robin match, this American master, who had just lost to Zhou Yangfan, had a sincere and fearful attitude after seeing Ye Xiaoya.

Black chess is very obscene, when the game reaches 44 moves, white chess has already taken the lead, this layout is lost, which also makes Ye Xiaoya feel very speechless.

Obviously, the level of this American chess champion has dropped to the level of the 5th dan amateur in China.

The overall situation is only 98 steps, and Alexander directly admits defeat, not wanting to be abused anymore.
