"Oh, that's a good idea." Zhao Yajun was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

His current chess strength, the game of the 19-way chessboard is no longer valuable, but when he heard Ye Xiaoya say the 21-way chessboard, he suddenly understood that Go is not only 19-way, it can be infinitely enlarged.

21-way board, 23-way board, 49-way board, 99-way board, 999-way board......

Of course, there are too many ways on the chessboard, and it is beyond the meaning of human chess, and for now, the 21-way chessboard is indeed very suitable.

As for why the number of paths on the board is not an even number, in addition to being a habit, it is also because the singular chessboard is easier to divide the winner and loser.

This kind of division of victory and defeat is not the kind of division of victory and defeat first, but in the case of giving first and giving sub.

For example, if there are 361 intersections, let whoever occupies 181 wins, if it is a 20-way chessboard with 400 intersections, whoever occupies 201 wins, once both sides occupy the same amount, it is 200, then it becomes a draw.

There are very few draws, which is a significant difference between Go and other chess games.

The Huaxia Cup Chess Championship ended successfully, and Ye Xiaoya won the championship and became the first female world champion in the history of world Go.

This championship is well deserved, defeating Zhao Yajun, a super chess champion who has ruled the chess world for many years.

Of course, at this moment, no one questioned her identity as Tong Youyajing, but the strange thing is that Ye Xiaoya still did not admit that she was Tong Yajing when she was interviewed.

Time flies, and 2009 has passed in a blink of an eye.

The bell of 2010 rang, and people also entered the era of smartphones.

The full deployment of Huaguo's 3G network has made people have a greater demand for smartphones.

On January 10, 2010, Orange Athletic, the leader of the online sports platform, updated its Go layout with a new Go mode, a new version of 21-way Go.

The rules of this 21-way game are the same as those of the 19-way board, with the slight difference that black has eight moves.

In the final judgment, there are a total of 441 crossovers, with black accounting for 225 wins and white accounting for 217 wins.

In these 21-way chessboard, the original nine star positions have not changed, the corner star is still at 4 o'clock, and the side star is still in the 4 route, but Tian Yuan is all the way away from the side star, and the mid-belly appears larger.

This board aroused the interest of many Go enthusiasts, so many people began to try to play chess with this 21-way board.

After playing a few games, they found that playing chess on this board is much more time-consuming and laborious than 19 ways, and many moves that originally seemed correct have become less correct on this board.

After the 21-way chessboard appeared on the online Go, the online chess was elegant and quiet, and on the 21-way chessboard, the chess was played every three or five times.

And her opponent is Xiaobai, who is known as the third master of Orange Go.

In the Hall of Fame of Orange Go, Tong Youyajing ranked first, Zhao Yajun ranked second, and the third place was this mysterious Xiaobai.

No one knows who he is, and he plays chess very frequently, and he will play a game on the Internet every day, the time is not fixed, but basically every day does not fall short.

This kind of professional attitude also makes chess fans affectionately call him "Little White Brother".

"Little White Brother" ranks third and is also recognized as a chess immortal-level figure, except for Zhao Yajun and Tong Youyajing, other opponents are not vulnerable in front of him.

With the increase in the number of game games between Xiaobai and Tong Youyajing, chess fans can see that these two must have a leg, and every time before Tong Youyajing goes online, Xiaobai refuses all invitations to play in advance and waits in the 21-way game room.

This made chess fans wonder if this Xiaobai was Ye Xiaoya's student.

Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the 21-way chessboard of Orange Go has attracted many enthusiasts to participate, and the time has entered March 2010, and the new online chess god competition has kicked off again.

In this online chess god competition, the news was released in advance, and the online chess gods Youyajing and Zhao Yajun will be seeded players in the finals and wait for the challengers.

The first prize of the competition is as high as 500,000 yuan, the second place is 300,000 yuan, the third place is 100,000 yuan, the fourth place is 80,000 yuan, the fifth place is 50,000 yuan, the sixth place is 40,000 yuan, the seventh place is 30,000 yuan, and the eighth place is 20,000 yuan.

The competition is divided into three stages, the first stage is the audition, all Orange Go 7D or above, are eligible to enter the competition server for a month-long audition points competition.

When you enter the top 200 in points, you will be eligible to enter this competition.

In the next round, there will be eight rounds of points round-robin to determine the top 30 and enter the finals, where they will have the opportunity to compete with the chess gods and chess demons.

The previous audition and this competition are 19-way boards, and the final is a 21-way board.

This competition has successfully attracted the attention of countless chess players, because after the last Huaxia Cup, Zhao Yajun announced his retirement and no longer participated in professional Go tournaments, and Ye Xiaoya also refused to participate.

This has made the professional tournament and champion of the Go world finally have some new faces.

Some rising stars finally have a chance, the moment Zhou Yangfan of Huaguo finally won the world championship, the first sentence he said, "Thanks to Mr. Zhao Yajun and Mr. Ye Xiaoya, without their chess scores, my chess strength would not have progressed to this point, and without their refusal to participate, I would not have won the championship." ”

Of course, in addition to Zhou Yangfan, there are many chess players who have also won the world championship one after another, and they stand on the podium and express similar feelings.

When Lee Sedol won the Samsung Cup, he said excitedly: "I thought I had no chance in this life, and the era of Zhao Yajun Ye Xiaoya is both the luck and misfortune of our professional chess players." ”

Netizens ridiculed this endlessly, and the most interesting thing was that a chess friend posted a video, crying and shouting loudly: "Oh my God, do you know why I don't learn Go?" Because of Zhao Yajun and Ye Xiaoya, we ordinary people don't have to play. ”

When the audition of the online chess god competition officially began, Orange Go released a final rule vote.

This time, the two chess gods, Tong Yajing and Zhao Yajun, how to play against all the challengers.

This vote gave three options, the first option was to divide first, the second option was to let go first, and the third option was to let two sons.

On the same day, nearly 100,000 chess fans voted, of which more than 30,000 voted for the concession, another 60,000 voted for the two sons, and less than 1,000 voted for the first.

As the number of voters increased, the gap between the three options also widened, and by the end of the voting on the seventh day, a total of 8,000 people voted first, 69,000 people voted first, and more than 485,000 people voted for two sons.

This vote for Orange members immediately doubled the number of Orange members.

The final result undoubtedly shows a problem, the masses know the strength of these two chess gods, if the score comes first, the other contestants have no chance at all.

Obviously, according to the previous record, there is no chance to let the first go, so only by letting the two pieces, the chess game will become a little suspenseful.
