225 One enemy a hundred
Wednesday, July 27, 2016, Huaguo Beijing Chess Association Gymnasium.
One hundred and six chess masters from all over the world entered the arena one by one.
The original plan was 100 people, but because several of the top 100 national elephant masters missed the registration time, they applied for registration on the last day and rushed over by plane.
After consulting with Zhao Ya, the Huaguo Chess Association decided to make one-to-one hundred become one-to-one one hundred and six.
William Mousse, wearing a suit and sunglasses, followed the national elephant masters, signaled the participation voucher, and slowly walked into the gymnasium.
Such a grand event of national elephant masters is extremely rare, and it is very difficult to gather so many national elephant masters regardless of what kind of international competition.
After all, not every national elephant master is in good shape, and many times when selecting, even the top 100 national elephant masters will lose to little-known rising talents.
So, the world ranking only proves your average strength, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that you will win against your lower-ranked players.
This time, Zhao Ya's World Top 100 Challenge is very tight, and there are only three days from the official announcement of the Chess Association to the deadline for registration around the world.
Some of the national elephant masters are busy with their own business, so they simply don't have the time to participate.
But as long as you win one set, you can get a huge prize fund of 300,000 US dollars, so that all the masters present can squeeze out time to participate.
In the eyes of most national elephant masters, one-on-one hundred is simply a joke, one-on-one you can easily win against your opponent, but one-on-two is not so easy.
More than one to ten, it is not a category that can be reached by manpower.
Zhao Ya wants to be one-on-one hundred, which is simply looking for abuse by herself, and only she, a crazy female chess god, would do this, but in the eyes of these national elephant masters, Zhao Ya is the real fortune boy.
Winning her game would cost her $300,000, which is definitely easier than doing anything.
In fact, if Zhao Ya wants to challenge one-on-one, there will definitely not be more than ten national elephant masters this time, after all, Zhao Ya, who can win the championship in the Moscow World Competition, is not easy to deal with.
But the one-to-one hundred mode, and Zhao Ya only has eight hours, which is evenly distributed among a hundred games of chess, and the thinking time in each game cannot exceed 4.8 minutes.
And they have four hours to splurge, which is a completely unequal competition.
William Mousse walked into the gymnasium and was attracted by the layout inside.
In the center of the gymnasium, one hundred and six game tables are neatly divided into ten rows, each with a number pasted on it, and on the table is not a chessboard, but a laptop.
Curiously looked at the entry card in his hand, William Mousse was No. 56, he walked to the corresponding position, looked at the laptop with the screen protection turned on, and moved the mouse with some curiosity, and a chess board appeared on the screen.
"Master William, you're here too?" A tall, thin man in black, with a hint of a smile, he is number 57 and is sitting next to William Mousse.
"Oh, you're ......" William Mousse was not very familiar with the Asian man.
"I'm Kota Tanaka, ranked one hundred and twenty-six in the world." The man in black smiled, "Master William is my idol. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Master Tanaka." William Mousse nodded, he had never paid attention to Japanese chess players, and the level of chess in this country has not been very good.
"Will Master William feel uncomfortable playing chess with a computer this time?" Mitsuta Tanaka spoke to William Mousse in his rather broken English.
"There's nothing wrong with it, if you don't use the computer split screen to play chess, just running will tire people to death." William Mousse is not surprised by this computer-based way of playing.
He also played a one-to-many game with his disciples, that is, using the computer to play a split-screen game, so that it would not be too tiring, otherwise the battle around the circle would not only consume energy very quickly, but also difficult to support physical strength.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please find your corresponding entry number, and the challenge will start in fifteen minutes." A man in a suit with a headset spoke first in Chinese and then in English on the rostrum in front of the gymnasium.
After more than 100 national elephant masters sat down in turn, their eyes fell on the vacated battle seats on the rostrum.
Zhao Ya has not yet come, as long as she can win one-third of the games in this challenge, she can be called the chess god of the national elephant world.
However, there is a price to pay for being a chess god, because you have to pay $300,000 for every game you lose, and if you unfortunately lose all 106 games, you have to pay $31.8 million.
Of course, Zhao Ya's chess strength cannot be lost, but how many games she can win is undoubtedly everyone's concern.
At this moment, the whole world is focused on this one-to-one showdown.
A female chess god in the Go world, after winning the title of national elephant grandmaster, at the same time against one hundred and six national elephant grandmasters ranked in the top 200 in the world.
This unprecedented spectacle is also a spectacle that has never been heard of.
It's hard not to attract attention, and this Zhao Ya, who dares to be a hundred people, is a girl who released a video at the beginning of the year and wants to become the world's No. 1 superstar in nine years.
For Zhao Ya's masochistic death, many people appreciated it with mockery.
"Zhao Ya is looking for death by herself, let's just see how she ends."
"Haha, I see how Zhao Ya went bankrupt this time, and she actually paid 300,000 US dollars for losing a game, I really hate that I am not one of the top 100 national elephants, otherwise I will definitely participate."
"Zhao Ya is obviously inflated to the point of exploding, and now I deeply doubt that she is crazy."
"The female chess god is a very good title, but after this time, I think two words should be added to the back of the god, and it will become a female chess neurosis, I think it is more appropriate."
Most people in the world are not optimistic about Zhao Ya, but there are still some people who feel that Zhao Ya may not be able to challenge successfully.
"The behavior of the female chess god Zhao Ya is worthy of our respect, dare to challenge her limits, and she is the real goddess in my heart regardless of victory or defeat."
"In fact, before the tournament began, the female chess god had already won, and her actions would go down in history."
"As we can see, as long as the female chess god can win a third, she is already invincible in the world. Of course, we expect the female chess god Zhao Ya to play better. ”
The only people who really believe that Zhao Ya can win are the brainless fans who worship Zhao Ya.
Among those who are familiar with Zhao Ya, there are also two people who think that Zhao Ya may win all, one is Xu Jing in France, and the other is Lin Tao, who is becoming the CEO of Fengcheng.
These two people's blind trust in Zhao Ya already thinks that as long as Zhao Ya wants to do something, there is nothing that cannot be done.
"Xiaoya, I'm making rapid progress, I believe we will be able to meet soon." Xu Jing already has three hundred spirit maps, and his chess strength has reached the third level.
She now plays chess on the Internet every day, and has accounts on the Heizhao Chess Learning Platform and Yicheng.
She played on the Internet, and she had reached the situation of seeking defeat alone, but she knew that the gap between herself and Zhao Ya was still extremely huge, and this time she saw Zhao Ya's National Elephant Invitational Tournament to be one against one hundred.
She is really proud of her best friend, and she feels that Zhao Ya can really do such an incredible thing, which is definitely a miracle that can go down in history.
