518 Round of 16 of the Chess God Tournament
At 19 o'clock in the evening of May 7th, the final of the Online Chess God Tournament officially kicked off.
This time, the final used a 21-way chessboard, with only 1 hour of retention time for each person, and 3 times of 30-second counting.
A 21-way board is much more complex than a 19-way board, and the next game takes a lot more time.
Therefore, this final is also called a rapid chess final, in order to adapt to the fast-paced life, but also to avoid the players from exerting too much energy.
The reason why it is carried out at night is to avoid daytime work, and the other is to make the vast number of people who eat melons more happy.
Of course, these are actually just official statements, because the competition system of this competition was planned and arranged by Ye Xiaoya, so the organizer Orange Go, in order to cooperate with the arrangement of Tong Yajing, so such a game time was formulated.
Fifteen minutes before the official start of the game, Xiaobai was still chatting with Ye Xiaoya.
"Mentor, will you be in better shape for the evening competition?"
"Not necessarily." Ye Xiaoya replied casually.
"Then why did you put it in the evening game?"
"There's no why." Ye Xiaoya was also a little speechless to Xiaobai, who was poor in love and had many questions, "Go and prepare to play your chess." ”
"Yes."
The game officially began, and as a gimmick for this competition, Ye Xiaoya and Zhao Yajun also had to play the top 32 matches, and during the battle, they had to let the two sons play against other chess players.
If the two lose unexpectedly, they will also lose the opportunity to compete for the position, but after the final chess god match, there will be a three-way chess match between the chess god and the chess demon.
Of course, although this possibility exists, it is not very large, so most people feel that even if the two sons play against each other, it will only increase the difficulty of the two super masters, and the suspense of each game of chess.
The only variable is that the identity of the chess fairy Xiaobai, who is also mysterious, no one knows where he comes from, but they know that he has a close relationship with Tong Youyajing.
At this moment, in the Beijing Chess Academy, Zhou Yangfan sat in front of the computer, and couldn't help frowning when he saw his randomly assigned opponent.
In this game of chess, his opponent is the online chess fairy Xiaobai, and the top 32 players will not meet in the two halves except for Tong Youyajing and Zhao Yajun, and the other chess players are randomly grouped.
Zhou Yangfan saw that his opponent in the first round was the third-ranked master this time, and he was still very depressed.
In fact, he played against Xiaobai some time ago, it was a 19-way chessboard, although he didn't do his best in that game, but the opponent seemed to play very easily.
In the end, he lost 2 and a half times, although he was unwilling to lose, but he didn't have much temper, and the gap in strength was obvious.
He has also studied this kind of 21-way big chessboard, but after all, he has never played against a master, so he has no score in his heart.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I hope you will be merciful." Zhou Yangfan muttered in his heart and seriously devoted himself to the game.
Ye Xiaoya's opponent's online name is "Reigning in the World", this name is really powerful, but unfortunately his record is not very good, and he is also ranked behind in the top 30 this time.
As soon as the two of them started the game, they took the initiative to attack white with a hungry tiger pounced on the world.
After a dozen moves, the battle began, and the chess moves were extremely domineering and ferocious.
Of course, this is from the point of view of the spectators, and black has no idea of the advantage of two discs, and it is bumping and bumping, and it is eager to eat up white at once.
This move is extremely undesirable on a 19-way board, but it is not unfeasible on a 21-way board.
So Ye Xiaoya couldn't help nodding slightly when she saw her opponent walking like this, this kind of fighting chess style is quite suitable for the 21-way chessboard.
But although he found the right direction, his calculation power was still too far behind, and when the 52nd move of white was cut off, a large piece of black lost his backup, and the game immediately turned into a one-sided slaughter.
Black desperately tried to break free and escape, but was chased and intercepted by white, who had been waiting for him for a long time, and after 84 moves, black was killed and collapsed, and a large piece of chess had no way to escape.
At this moment, black chess has seriously fallen behind, perhaps because he feels that the chessboard is very large, and he can still struggle, this king of the world does not admit defeat, but rushes left and right, wanting to create opportunities.
But his move was undoubtedly a waste of time, when the white chess 134 moves fell, and captured a large piece of his chess, the board was more than 20 mesh, and the king was finally embarrassed to play again.
"Thank you for your advice." King's Landing was polite in the end, and after saying such a sentence, he went offline.
Ye Xiaoya easily won the first game, and then clicked on Zhao Yajun's chess game to enjoy it.
At this time, Zhao Yajun also had an advantage, and his opponent "Tieye Fox" was also very stable, and the general masters of the two chess games were very confident.
But the advantage of black chess in this game has been scavenged by Zhao Yajun, and the 21-way chessboard, the more complex official, for ordinary chess players, it is almost inevitable that they will make mistakes in rapid chess.
Therefore, Zhao Yajun has locked the victory in this game of chess.
Ye Xiaoya watched it for a while, then clicked on Xiaobai's game, and when she saw that its opponent was "Black Tornado", and there were many spectators, she understood that this game of chess should be of the highest quality in this round.
Although the quality is the highest, the difference in strength between the two sides is still very large, although the two sides have only taken less than 100 steps, Ye Xiaoya has already seen that Xiaobai has won the game.
To Ye Xiaoya's surprise, most of the chess fans watching the game also saw the victory or defeat, although from their words, it seemed that it was just a guess.
"The black chess can throw a piece to admit defeat, in front of our little white god, the black tornado has no chance unless it is opened."
"I said a long time ago that black was going to lose, and such a game had already been decided in advance."
"In this game, the 19-way chessboard was played, and the black tornado lost, but Xiaobai Daxian is a super master who has never lost a game except for the chess god and chess demon."
"You look at the 95th move of black, it is clear that you have let go of the winning hand, and this time Mr. Zhou seems to be in danger."
Ye Xiaoya looked at it for a while, and felt that the chess game had not changed much, so she turned off the computer.
"Mentor, are you done?" Xiaobai asked in a voice.
"Xiaobai, you play chess well, what do I do." Ye Xiaoya said with a smile.
"This Zhou Yangfan has already lost, I'd better chat with you, mentor."
"You don't have enough of your mouth these days?"
"In front of the mentor, it's never too much, I just feel that I'm just beginning to fall in love, and I have a strong desire to behave in front of the mentor." After Xiaobai finished speaking, he let out a hehe laugh.
"Don't make a fool of yourself in the future."
"Mentor, Zhou Yangfan is really tenacious, do you think I should slay the dragon to win him, or the last half of the eyes to win?"
"Whatever you want."
At this moment, Zhou Yangfan gritted his teeth, looking at the chess game, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, as the current world champion and top master, in front of a mysterious chess player, there was no chance at all.
What frustrated him the most was that no one was optimistic about him from the beginning, and he was the world champion chess king.
