It's a pity that the idea of increasing the difficulty and improving the strength of chess that she expected is not very useful for the time being.

"By the way, Xiaoya, have you participated in this online chess god Grand Prix?"

"Teacher Bai, I'm going to prepare for the college entrance examination, I'll decide the Grand Prix depending on the situation." Ye Xiaoya planned to fool the past first.

"Xiaoya, I'm optimistic about you, you should have a great chance to win the championship in this competition, and the prize money is huge, don't miss it." Bai Changle smiled and said.

He looked at Ye Xiaoya, who was already out and down in front of him, and he also sighed in his heart, he had been watching her grow up for several years, and now he was not only unable to compete in chess, but he also couldn't understand this student in terms of thoughts and behaviors.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai, I know, I'll give it a try." Ye Xiaoya nodded.

Naturally, she won't miss this Grand Prix, but for the time being, she doesn't want to reveal her identity, but she thinks that after winning the championship, she may not be able to hide her identity for long, so she relieved herself and said to give it a try.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon on March 10.

The server of this tournament has been officially launched, because the number of players above 7D has far exceeded expectations, reaching more than 4,000 people, and there have been some changes to the rules of this tournament.

After each 7D account enters the server of this tournament, the game time is from 7 to 9 o'clock every night, and only one game can be played, and twenty games need to be played in a month, according to the results of these twenty games, a rating point ranking will be obtained, and when this point ranking is 128 before the finals.

The final of the third stage has also been changed from the original top 32 to the top 128 to select the top 128 for seven rounds of points round-robin.

After this rule change, it immediately caused a lot of complaints and dissatisfaction, and 20 games a month were played, and only from 7 pm to 9 pm every day, this time period immediately excluded some people.

However, there is also a reason for the official arrangement, because it is an online competition, and it is inevitable that many people will have more than one account, so that at least some high-level chess players can avoid playing with multiple accounts at one time.

Of course, there is also the advantage of fixing the time, which is to prevent some low-level players from avoiding the master period and brushing up on their opponents and results in the low-hand time.

Therefore, no matter how much you complain on the Internet, the rules of this competition are so set, and you can abstain if you don't want to participate, after all, there is no penny registration fee for this competition.

Soon, the negative voices on the Internet gradually became smaller, and those who wanted to participate in the competition played chess well, and those who didn't want to participate in the competition were too lazy to say more.

In fact, no matter what time period it is, it is not a problem for Ye Xiaoya, who has relatively free time.

Since March 10, Ye Xiaoya has logged in to Orange Go on time every night to complete the next game of online chess with the same task.

The result of each game is naturally an easy victory, because there is no need to deliberately get out of the crisis, Ye Xiaoya's time is also very short, and by March 31, Ye Xiaoya has reached 20 consecutive wins in this competition.

This record is definitely the strongest, but Ye Xiaoya was not satisfied, when she landed on Orange Go on time at 7 o'clock in the evening and wanted to go to the server of this tournament again, she got a prompt, "You have completed this game, please be patient and wait for the points ranking." ”

"It turns out that I can only play 20 plates, and I can't do more." When Ye Xiaoya saw this prompt, she also planned to relax, close Orange Go, and click on StarCraft to play two games.

In the next ten days, Ye Xiaoya occasionally looked at chess games, played games on the Internet, and lived a relaxed and comfortable life.

It wasn't until April 10, the day the tournament rankings came out, that she landed in Orange Go.

To her surprise, her twenty-game winning streak only finished fourth on the leaderboard.

After checking the points rules, it is 10 points for each game won and 1 times the opponent's points are additional, and no points are awarded for losing a game, and 1 times of your own points will be deducted.

According to this point rule, it is natural that the higher the opponent's points, the higher the points obtained.

Not only are the top three wins in a row, but the sixth place is a twenty-game winning streak, the seventh to the eighteenth place is nineteen wins and one defeat, and then there are eighteen wins and two defeats, all the way to one hundred and twenty-eight, fifteen wins and five defeats.

"It looks like there are a lot of masters in this competition." Ye Xiaoya looked at the leaderboard and was a little excited, but remembered that even if she won, she would not improve her chess strength much, so she became interested again.

When Ye Xiaoya checked the rankings, Zhou Yangfan and Fang Tianhe were talking about the rankings in the Beijing Chess Academy.

"The first place 'Songfeng Jingtao' should be Wang Tao's nine duans, his chess is quite stable, but the chess score of this net chess does not look very similar." Fang Tianhe frowned and said.

"It should be him, but these twenty games of chess are not necessarily played by him alone, anyway, that's what happened." Zhou Yangfan chewed gum and said: "This time, many people can't play enough games in this tournament, but according to the regulations, if they can't play enough games of chess, they won't be given ranking results, so if they want to participate in the finals, they will either find a substitute, or they can only squeeze time to play." ”

"Such rules and requirements are not only better than chess skills, but also better than connections." Fang Tianhe shook his head and asked, "Isn't it cheating to find a subordinate like this?" ”

"In online competitions, there will be loopholes in any rules, even if it is not such a rule, find a substitute or a few people to stare at a game of chess to play, don't you know." Zhou Yangfan said with a smile: "The finals are subject to real-name authentication, and this competition is just to screen it, so you don't need to be too serious." ”

"That's right, so who is the second 'Dominating the World'? This screen name is quite fresh. Fang Tianhe asked.

"I guess it's Wang Jianxiong's nine sections, I watched a few games of chess, and he has quite his chess style, of course, it doesn't have to be him." Zhou Yangfan said.

"The third 'Green Spider' I know is Zheng Bowen Jiuduan, his screen name was given when they were learning chess together, and he likes this name a lot." Fang Tianhe said.

"It should be him, but Zheng Bowen's recent game form has declined, the Samsung Cup and the Toyota Cup are both in turn, and this online chess tournament can be won for 20 consecutive victories."

"Maybe he's better at online chess, maybe he's cheating." Fang Tianhe said with a smile: "Heizi, you have nineteen wins and one defeat this time, ranking fifteenth. ”

"Boss Fang, why don't you say that this fourth place is 'quiet and quiet'?"

"What does he have to say, you don't know this mysterious master, we'll know after his real name is verified."

"yes, I can finally find out who this guy really is." Zhou Yangfan stared at the fourth-place position and showed a hint of a smile.

At 12 o'clock at noon on April 11, the rules and time of the 128th round of the online chess god Grand Prix were officially announced.

The first round of the finals will officially start at 7pm on Friday, April 16th, the second round will be played at 7pm on Saturday 17th, and the third round will be played at 7pm on Sunday 17th.

The first six rounds will determine the champion and runner-up, and the finals will be held on Friday night 30 April, Saturday night 1 May, and Sunday night 2 May.

The competition will be based on the rules of the points round-robin, with 90 minutes reserved for each person and 3 times of 30 seconds.
