This Rookie Cup Professional Go Tournament for professional chess players under the age of 25 in China is also set up by the Chinese Chess Association to encourage new professional chess players to go further.

The competition is a points round-robin and lasts for four days according to the number of participants, with eight rounds of competition.

For various reasons, this Rookie Cup Professional Go Tournament is not held once a year, the last time it was held was two years ago, and this time it is only the third time.

The champions of the first and second sessions are Zhao Yajun, perhaps because they feel that Zhao Yajun exists, and this competition is meaningless, after all, Zhao Yajun also meets the conditions for participation.

However, it is obvious that Zhao Yajun will not participate in this third session, and the organizer will not move Zhao Yajun.

In fact, this Rookie Cup professional Go tournament is not very eye-catching, and many media do not even report it, one reason is that this is an internal competition for professional chess players, and the other is that the amount of prize money is too small, and there are some professional chess players who are too lazy to participate.

The first place will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and he will be awarded the title of Huaguo's best rookie of the year. The second place is awarded 8,000 yuan, the third place is 6,000 yuan, the fourth place is 4,000 yuan, the fifth place is 3,000 yuan, and the sixth place is 2,000 yuan.

Although the prize money for the first place is also a lot, it takes 10,000 yuan to win all eight games of chess, which is too cost-effective.

You must know that in 04, professional chess players played one-on-one coaching chess, at least 201 games, and 501 games that were a little famous were in short supply.

Many people want to become a professional chess player in order to have a golden card and then make it easier to make money.

And this rookie tournament is a fierce competition between professional chess players, and it takes a lot of effort to win, and in the end, only the top six have a reward, and the rest are just in charge of food and lodging.

Therefore, many professional chess players do not participate in this kind of competition at all, and only those professional chess players who want to improve their chess skills will participate in this kind of competition.

After Ye Xiaoya received the notice, she was quite excited.

This is the first time she has participated in a professional chess tournament in her life, because they are all professional chess players, so she is quite looking forward to it, from the July stage to the present, her chess strength has not improved to the specific 8th level, she is a little dissatisfied with this progress speed.

Hopefully, this Rookie Cup will take her chess skills to the next level.

After the 11th Golden Week in a blink of an eye, on Monday, October 10, the Rookie Cup Professional Go Tournament kicked off.

According to the competition schedule, for the next four days, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., each game of chess will be covered for 2 hours.

This time, a total of 176 professional chess players under the age of 25 participated, including several acquaintances Ye Xiaoya had played, Ge Tiancheng, Jin Yiming, and Zhao Wenduo and Zhang Yulin, who were newly promoted to the early stage this time.

In the first round of the game, Ye Xiaoya met a female chess player, Tang Yali, a professional second dan.

Tang Yali is twenty-three years old, this is the second time to participate in the Rookie Cup, the last time the results were average, this time she also came to the competition with an attitude of learning and progressing.

She never thought about anything about getting the ranking, and when she saw that her opponent was Ye Xiaoya, she already knew that she basically had no chance of winning.

After the two saluted, they began to play against each other, Tang Yali took the black first, although she had no hope of winning, but Tang Yali also played this game of chess very seriously.

In the first 30 moves, the two sides scored two points, and in the 36th move, white forced a move, making the situation a little chaotic.

Tang Yali was very cautious, and it took ten minutes for this long test to enter her before she was able to deal with it.

The rest of the game turned out to be quite unexpected, as white made two unreasonable moves in a row, giving her an advantage, and after a big exchange, black had a fifteen moves ahead.

Such a situation can be regarded as overjoyed for Tang Yali, because she is a little afraid of Ye Xiaoya's name, although she has never played against her, but the title of undefeated girl is not something anyone can call.

She has been learning chess for more than ten years, and she has never heard of anyone who dares to call a chess player like this, even if Zhao Yajun is invincible, she has never called an undefeated teenager.

But there are really people who are called undefeated teenagers, that is South Korea's Lee Shi-yi, who never missed an official game when he first debuted, but when he really entered the professional Go circle, he was just a very powerful chess player.

Obviously, the reason why this Ye Xiaoya is still called an undefeated girl is because she has not yet met a real opponent, Tang Yali even maliciously thought in her heart before the start that if Zhao Yajun also participated this time, then Ye Xiaoya's reputation as an undefeated girl would inevitably be ended.

Of course, that was just a malicious imagination, Tang Yali didn't think that she had the ability to break Ye Xiaoya's golden body, but now the actual situation is that she has defeated this undefeated girl, and her current situation is very good.

As long as she holds on to her advantage in the second half of the game, she has a high probability of winning.

This made her feel a little excited, it was a feeling of buying a lottery ticket at random, and suddenly finding that her number was actually the jackpot number.

This made her more serious with each move, and when the game had been played for more than an hour, the two of them had made 64 moves.

Tang Yali looked at the time, although she had an advantage, she was an absolute disadvantage in time, the other party still had 1 hour and 53 minutes, and she only had 52 minutes left.

This huge gap made her realize that she couldn't play so slowly, and she immediately sped up.

However, when Tang Yali saw that white had reached the 76th move, she couldn't help frowning and fell into a long test again.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoya was sitting quietly, and she was deducing another game of chess in her mind, which was a game of chess that she saw Zhao Yajun participating in the Toyota Cup competition on the Internet a few days ago.

Zhao Yajun won the game easily, but Ye Xiaoya found a missed move by Zhao Yajun, which was very strange, and it seemed that Zhao Yajun made a mistake on purpose, but unfortunately his opponent did not find it, and in the end he was defeated.

But in this game of chess, Ye Xiaoya deduced several times, and found that the results of each deduction had changed, that is to say, she was not sure about this situation, knowing that it was a missed move, but it was not so easy to really solve this loophole, which made Ye Xiaoya both interesting and puzzled.

Originally, in this game of chess, she planned to create some problems for herself, and then stimulate her own spiritual flashes to play chess, but unfortunately this Tang Yali's chess was too cautious, or she did not grasp the mistakes that Ye Xiaoya deliberately made, because there was no greater advantage, so in the later chess game, Ye Xiaoya could be reversed without too much effort.

Because of this situation, Ye Xiaoya does not plan to make mistakes on purpose, since the opponent's level is limited, then end this game of chess as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, Tang Yali watched the top of the 122nd move of white, which put her black in trouble, and her face suddenly became very bad.

In fact, from the beginning, she never thought that she could really win against Ye Xiaoya, but when she had the advantage in the first half of the game, she couldn't help but have a thought that she could win.

It is precisely with hope that we will really be disappointed and hurt.

This is like the previous lottery ticket, which is clearly the same as the jackpot number, the only difference is the corresponding issue number, an expired lottery ticket, what a bitter experience this is, and I am happy in vain.
