053 seeded players

The next day, the final exam results were announced.

Zhao Ya sat first in the grade without any suspense, and Xu Jing also became the fifth in the class in the surprised eyes of everyone.

If you talk about the results of the midterm exam, many people still doubt Xu Jing's moisture, and this final exam proves that Xu Jing has real strength.

"Xiaoya, I'm really unwilling, if it weren't for the deduction of so many points in the essay, I wouldn't be the fifth in the class, I would be the second in the class." Xu Jing looked at the test paper and sighed.

"In the future, it would be good to work on the composition." Zhao Ya smiled faintly, the failure of this essay is a good thing for Xu Jing, after all, there is still a big gap between her mentality and that of a real scholar.

"No problem, it's winter vacation, what homework did you assign me?" Xu Jing asked cautiously.

"It's time for the New Year, and you can relax freely."

"Really no homework?" Xu Jing was a little unconvinced.

"If you want......"

"There's no best, I'm going to relax." Xu Jing cheered.

Zhao Ya looked at Xu Jing's excited expression and couldn't help but smile.

In the end, she is a child, before she develops real study habits, once she does not help this external force, she will quickly return to her original shape.

But this is also a process of education, this year will make her easier, next semester, there is still the sixth grade, Xu Jing, a top student, will mature little by little.

Three days later, the Chengdu Celebrity Invitational Tournament officially opened.

"Xiaoya, this time you have to play well and win a championship." When Zhao Yajun took Zhao Ya to Juyuan Teahouse, he said with a smile: "I made a bet with Teacher Zhang that you could win the championship." ”

"Uncle, you have too much confidence in me." Zhao Ya said with a little surprise: "I heard that this time Teacher Zhang and Teacher Gao both participated. ”

"Hehe, it's not just them, there are four professional chess players who also participated, and there are also a lot of amateur 6-dan Chongduan teenagers, and it is definitely not easy to win the championship." Zhao Yajun smiled: "However, I just have confidence in you, you won't disappoint my uncle." ”

"I'll do my best." Zhao Ya nodded helplessly.

She didn't want to participate in this kind of competition, which was basically a waste of time for her, but for the high expectations of her relatives, she still came to participate in this competition, and her goal was to get the championship prize.

"Take the first place, so that parents can have a good year." Zhao Ya thought in her heart, and had decided not to lose chess in this competition.

The competition will charge a symbolic registration fee of 100 yuan, and after the competition, regardless of the results, tea and tea sets worth more than 100 yuan will be distributed as gifts.

The original schedule of the tournament was to be two days with three sets per day, but after the number of registrations was seriously exceeded, a third day of finals was added to this basis.

Originally, the teahouse was intended to let the chess players sit in the private room to play chess and drink tea, but because of the large number of people, only arranged in the hall, only the first sixteen seed masters, were put in the private room to play.

And Zhao Ya, as a local seed player in Rongcheng, was arranged in the private room of the fourth station in the first game.

Seeing that the opponent was a slightly thin middle-aged man, Zhao Ya nodded politely.

"You are Zhao Ya, who is the fourth in the Evening Cup this time?" The middle-aged man's attitude was very casual, but his eyes showed a hint of caution.

"Yes." Zhao Ya replied lightly.

She didn't have the slightest impression of this middle-aged man, but judging from his attitude, the level should not be weak.

A few steps before the start, the middle-aged man looked out of the two eyes, and then hung the corner and then hung the corner.

Such a start, coupled with the way of playing a shot to change places, is either a way of thinking out of the way, knowing that the opponent is not defeating and disrupting the chess game, or it is a high level of self-control and wanton abuse.

Obviously, this middle-aged man belongs to the former, his name is Xu Zhiqiang, that is, an amateur 5th section, this time he naturally has the psychology of winning awards, maybe he is lucky, and he will earn a few months' salary if he wins a few games.

It's just that what made him very depressed was that he met a super strong player in the first game, the amateur 6th Duan Zhao Ya who ranked fourth in the Evening Cup.

When he saw the deity, he was a little surprised at first, and then he wanted to mess up the chess game and give this young master a little trouble, maybe she lost because of her lack of experience.

However, this was just wishful thinking on his part, and when he played more than fifty moves, he sweated a little.

The heating in the private room is suitable, and it is very comfortable to drink hot tea, but Xu Zhiqiang has fallen into deep thought when he looks at the chaotic chess game.

At first, in order to mess up the chess game, they seized the opportunity everywhere, but now they are not alive and lone everywhere.

If this situation is seen by professional chess players, it means that the defeat is decided, and there is no way back.

But Xu Zhiqiang didn't want to admit defeat, he was born in color chess, the more disadvantaged he was, the more energetic he was, and he fought hard to pull the emperor off the horse.

Anyway, knowing that he is not as good as his opponent, he dares to play any chess.

If you change to an opponent with less experience or less strength, Xu Zhiqiang is really likely to succeed, after all, his chess strength is really not weak, and he has 9D strength in Yicheng, Wild Fox and other game sites.

But in the face of Zhao Ya, who is not slow and responds steadily, he has no chance.

More than an hour later, Xu Zhiqiang nodded and admitted defeat, he was very convinced to lose this game, in fact, from the beginning he chose to mess up the chess game, he had no chance.

"Teacher Zhao Ya, is there a problem with my move?" After Xu Zhiqiang lost, he politely reviewed the game to find the reason for his loss.

"This move is the best move at this time, but the first few moves are slow, so ......" Zhao Ya simply pointed, and then got up and went out.

In the next round of the second round of games, a slightly chubby middle-aged man with an inch head and a fan in his hand was obviously not because of the heat.

The words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the fan are so eye-catching.

"Haha, Teacher Zhao Ya, it's really an honor to be able to play chess with you." The middle-aged man looked like he wanted to shake hands.

Zhao Ya smiled at him and said, "Don't dare to be, please advise." ”

The game of chess between the two was carried out very quickly, the bald man walked quickly and steadily, there was no battle in the chess game, and the result of the two sides was to end the game with Zhao Ya's black chess lead of ten meshes.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao Ya, for your advice." The middle-aged man was also neat, and after collecting the chess, he walked away first and went to see the game in the hall outside.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya also walked out of the private room.

On the first day of the tournament, the tournament was played in a round-robin tournament of seeded players, with professional and amateur players placed in 16 private rooms.

Sixteen challengers are then randomly selected from the participating amateur powerhouses, while the rest of the contestants compete in a brutal single-round elimination.

A single round of knockout is to lose a game and you don't need to play the following game, you can go home with a giveaway, which is also conducive to clearing out the venue, after all, the teahouse still has to do business, and it can't be a points round-robin like other competition venues.

The seeded players in the private room have one more chance than the other players, and if they are knocked out by the challenger, they will be relegated to the knockout round in the outer hall. And the player who succeeds becomes the new seed.

At the end of the two rounds, no one has succeeded in the challenge, and the losers who lost to the seeded players in the Yama should not be discouraged, as they also have a chance to participate in the Hall Elimination Tournament.

Zhao Yajun was in good form, and although he played chess outside the hall, he managed to defeat his opponent in two consecutive rounds.

"Uncle, how's it going?" Zhao Ya saw Zhao Yajun, who had just finished the game, and asked with a smile: "The opponent's strength is okay." ”

"Yes, it's not easy to deal with, but I'm in better shape."

"Come on, uncle, tomorrow is the round-robin tournament, you don't want to be eliminated on the first day." Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"Of course, I plan to learn a few more games from the masters, how can I be killed by ordinary chess players." Zhao Yajun also nodded and said.
