471 Meet Zhao Yajun
Although Ye Xiaoya did not officially announce that she is quiet and quiet.
But from all aspects, there are also the remarks of those chess players who played against him, plus Li Guangsheng's conclusive words at the end.
Ye Xiaoya is an elegant and quiet thing about online chess, and it has spread in the Go circle.
There may be some people who are skeptical, but most people think that if this is the case, it does make sense.
And Ye Xiaoya, who is known as an undefeated girl and the queen of reversal, has now successfully entered the Samsung Cup and will compete in Seoul, South Korea in mid-March.
Before that, Ye Xiaoya was very busy, she completed the task assigned by the dean of Beijing University for U, and completed the accumulation of three years of credits in one semester, and she had to take the credits of these subjects from those professors.
Some professors are easy to solve and just make a paper to pass the test, while some professors are a bit rigid and have to have a face-to-face conversation to persuade them to pass.
Although these are not difficult things for Ye Xiaoya, each subject has to be assessed, which makes Ye Xiaoya spend a lot of time and energy.
Of course, she didn't solve these things alone, with the help of Dean Ge, and there was no professor who deliberately made things difficult.
Overall, the completion of three years of credits this semester really shocked many professors.
Dean Ge was very happy, but the task he gave Ye Xiaoya next was even more challenging, giving her a semester to directly win the graduate students.
This so-called graduate school is not to be admitted to graduate school, but to complete the indicators required for graduate school and become a graduate student with a master's degree.
For others, this kind of request is undoubtedly difficult for a strong man, but for Ye Xiaoya, as long as there is a little time, it is not an impossible thing.
And Ye Xiaoya had the idea of making artificial intelligence in advance, so she also accepted the task of Dean Ge, asking him to give herself all the freedoms, no need to sign in or anything, and by the end of the second semester, she would directly complete the thesis in the field of artificial intelligence and become a master.
Of course, Dean Ge agreed, he believed that Ye Xiaoya could do it, and looked forward to Ye Xiaoya becoming a master's degree, studying for a doctorate, and then making contributions to the scientific research field of Beijing University.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, on March 12th, Ye Xiaoya and six professional chess players from Huaguo took a plane to Seoul, South Korea.
The official time of the Samsung Cup is Monday, March 14, and this time I went one day earlier because some chess players are not familiar with South Korea, and the benefits given by the Chinese Chess Association.
Ye Xiaoya got off the plane and saw Zhang Guoliang of the Beijing Chess Association, who was holding a national flag and waving to everyone on the plane.
And next to him stood a short-haired young man with a bright gaze, it was the world chess champion Zhao Yajun.
He just finished the World Rapid Chess Championship seven days ago and won the championship, because the Samsung Cup is about to start, so he didn't want to toss back and forth, so he stayed in South Korea for a week, this time with Zhang Guoliang to welcome the arrival of the Huaguo professional Go team.
"Ye Xiaoya, this is your first time competing abroad, you must win glory for the country." Zhang Guoliang's first sentence was said to Ye Xiaoya, which is not surprising, the other six are all veterans and men, only Ye Xiaoya, the only woman and newcomer, so no one is surprised to speak to her first.
"Teacher Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely work hard." Ye Xiaoya said, her eyes swept over Zhao Yajun.
"Zhao Qiwang, this is the undefeated girl Ye Xiaoya I told you, although she is not as powerful as you in the professional chess world, she has not tasted defeat in the game." Zhang Guoliang looked at Zhao Yajun and introduced.
"I know her, I've seen her games, maybe I've played chess with her." Zhao Yajun smiled slightly, although he felt that Ye Xiaoya was quiet and quiet, but before the other party admitted it, he would not say so.
"Hello Mr. Zhao Yajun, if I am lucky enough to play against you, I will definitely do my best." Ye Xiaoya also smiled faintly, from the other party's words, she understood that Zhao Yajun had suspected that Tong Youyajing was her, but it didn't matter, the real victory or defeat would still have to be seen during the competition.
Soon, everyone got into the van sent by the Korean Chess Association and went straight to the hotel where the game was held.
The organizer of the tournament is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the players of the Samsung Cup, and if any player feels that the accommodation conditions are not good, he can find another place to live.
A total of 32 players participated in this competition, including 13 Chinese chess players, 11 Korean chess players, and 9 Japanese chess players.
There is still a day before the game, and the Chinese Chess Association organized a day trip to South Korea, and Ye Xiaoya took a turn with the group.
She didn't have much interest in South Korea, if it weren't for the strong request of team leader Zhang Guoliang, she really wanted to stay in the hotel and wait for the game.
A day trip to South Korea is to see the attractions near Seoul, went to Inwang Mountain, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and went around, and several professional chess players were interested in going inside, and Ye Xiaoya just sat in the car and looked at the exterior from a distance, and she was not half interested in the things inside.
When he returned to the hotel at night and had dinner, Zhang Guoliang walked up to Ye Xiaoya and said, "Ye Xiaoya, the interest in watching you play today is not very high, are you worried about tomorrow's game?" ”
"Teacher Zhang, I'm so worried that I don't have any interest in playing." Ye Xiaoya replied lightly.
"That's good, it's your first time to compete abroad, you can tell me anything directly." Zhang Guoliang smiled slightly, he was very optimistic about this girl, just as he was optimistic about Zhao Yajun at the beginning.
Although he is only a director of the chess association, he cares very much about the take-off of Chinese Go.
Obviously, with Zhao Yajun here, Huaguo Go has already flown very high, and Ye Xiaoya is the wings of Huaguo Women's Go, this pair of golden boys and girls will inevitably make Huaguo Go stand on the top of the world.
There was nothing to say all night, and at 8:30 the next morning, the first round of the Samsung Cup officially began.
Ye Xiaoya played against South Korean chess player Song Tae-kun 9 dan.
This Song Tae-kun is a first-class chess player in South Korea recently, although he is far worse than Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol, but he can also be regarded as the backbone of South Korea.
He doesn't know much about Ye Xiaoya, after all, this Ye Xiaoya is already extremely famous in China, and the undefeated girl has spread almost all over the Go circle, but in the eyes of Korean chess players, Chinese female chess players have not yet played a really powerful role.
Therefore, when Song Taikun saw that his opponent was a female chess player, and he was still a beginner, he almost laughed.
Song Taikun is naturally happy, this is a free game, and he can successfully enter the top 16.
