On July 5, 2015, the Beijing Go Professional Fixed-stage Tournament began in full swing.

A total of 548 people were divided into men's and women's groups.

In the men's group, 421 people competed in 15 rounds and competed for 20 quota places.

In the women's group, 127 people competed for 13 rounds of competition, competing for 5 fixed stage places.

Due to the relaxation of registration conditions, the number of participants in the men's group has increased a lot.

In fact, these players have already gone through some pre-selection, and the players who can play the professional fixed-stage tournament in Beijing are at least at the level of amateur strong 5.

The news about Zhao Ya's participation in the fixed stage tournament has already spread, but soon there is relevant content, saying that Zhao Ya does not participate in the ordinary fixed stage competition, but after all the players have set the stage, she will have a 1-on-25 match with 25 fixed stage players.

As soon as this news was confirmed, it immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.

And the next content is even more shocking, these 1 to 25 is not divided into the first or let first, but let each three children.

It sounds like something incredible.

After all, every teenager who can succeed in a fixed stage has a strong confidence, even if he is the world's top chess player, he does not dare to say that the third son can win.

And in this kind of one-to-twenty-five situation, it is still the third son, and basically few people are optimistic about Zhao Ya.

Even if she is a female chess god who can win first.

"It's fun and exciting."

"I'm looking forward to it so much, I can't imagine that scene, one pair of twenty-five, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it without enough physical strength."

"Actually, for professional chess players, one-to-many is not a difficult thing, but this kind of pair of twenty-five professional rookies, and three sons, sounds too incredible."

"The female chess god Zhao Ya is invincible, not to mention one against twenty-five, even against one hundred is no problem."

When people from all walks of life on the Internet were discussing this novel game, Zhao Ya and Zhao Guanguan came to the gate of the Beijing Chess Academy together.

"Uncle, this is the Beijing Chess Academy." Zhao Ya looked at the school-like wall, which contained two ordinary four-story buildings.

There is a signboard of the Beijing Chess Academy hanging at the gate, the iron door is locked, and a doorman uncle is napping on the sofa in the guard's room.

"Why is it so empty?" Zhao Yajun was also a little puzzled, and then remembered that a fixed-stage match was being held in the past few days, "By the way, I'm afraid that everyone from the chess academy has gone to the arena." ”

"There's no one here, so let's go to the arena too." Zhao Ya said.

"Don't worry, let's find someone first." Zhao Yajun walked to the guard room, knocked on the window, and asked loudly, "Teacher, let's find Coach Sun from the Chess Academy." ”

"Are you looking for Coach Sun? Who are you? The doorman saw Zhao Yajun and asked suspiciously.

"I'm Zhao Yajun, and this is my niece Zhao Ya."

"Ah, it's the two of you, I'm waiting, please come in." The doorman uncle suddenly smiled, quickly ran out and unlocked the door, and let the two of them in.

"Is Coach Sun here?" Zhao Yajun asked.

"He just went out on an errand, but he said he'd be back soon, and if you came, let me take you to his office for a while." The doorman said, locking the door again, "Let's go, I'll call him, and I'll take you to the office and wait for him now." ”

Ten minutes later, Zhao Yajun and Zhao Ya sat in Sun Xing's office, blowing the air conditioner and drinking tea.

"Uncle, what are you hiding from me?" Zhao Ya asked.

"How can there be, this Sun Xing is a friend I talked about very much on the Internet, and he can be regarded as a professional chess player who joined our online school." Zhao Yajun smiled, "This time I saw him naturally to talk about the cooperation between the online school and the Beijing Chess Academy." ”

"I see, is there anything I need to help you with?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"Hehe, thank you, I can handle it." Zhao Yajun is obviously a lot more confident, after the establishment of the online school, he is no longer fighting alone, he has become a prince in the Go world, he has more people and things, and he naturally has his own ideas, this kind of thing still needs the help of his niece, he is too unproductive.

"Xiaoya, this time they arranged for you to be one to twenty-five, and they all let the three sons, are you sure?" Zhao Yajun took a sip of tea and asked curiously.

"What, uncle wants to share some of it for me?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"I'll make it difficult for one, and let twenty-five people not even think about it." Zhao Yajun shook his head and continued: "I'm just curious, why did you agree without even thinking about it?" ”

"Uncle, don't you think it's funny?" Of course, Zhao Ya is not for fun, but this arrangement is exactly what she wants.

Originally, she was looking for a talented successor to the chess god, and this fixed-stage tournament seemed to be tailor-made for her, selecting the best twenty-five people and letting her pair twenty-five.

Not only does it save her screening time, but she can add the imprint of the Shadow of the Chess God to these good seedlings face-to-face, but more importantly, this kind of game will definitely increase her popularity, and it may be the same as the last time she defeated the photo to expose her identity, so that the maximum value of the Lingtu will skyrocket.

The two waited for more than twenty minutes before Sun Xing ran back from outside sweating profusely.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao, Teacher Zhao Ya, I made you wait for a long time, and there are some things in the temporary arena to help deal with." Sun Xing apologized as soon as they met.

"It's okay, we've just been here for a while, just take a break." Zhao Yajun said with a smile.

"Teacher Zhao, we will talk about our affairs later." Sun Xing looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Teacher Zhao Ya, we worship your chess very much, and we have set up a chess god research association, I hope you don't mind." ”

"It's okay, but I'm not a chess god yet, and I still have a lot of room for improvement." Zhao Ya said quite seriously.

"Hehe, yes, Teacher Zhao Ya, but your chess player can sit first, and you are indeed qualified to become a chess god." Sun Xing and Zhao Ya were sour for a while, then turned on the office computer, let Zhao Ya play for a while, and then changed rooms with Zhao Yajun to talk about things.

Seeing that the two avoided her, Zhao Ya didn't mind, this kind of business matter, it didn't matter if she was a little girl who didn't participate.

At the same time, in the fixed stage, two teenagers who have won ten consecutive victories are competing for the qualification to advance to the profession.

One of the teenagers had some disability in his right eye, too much white, and his vision was blocked, but his chess was not weak at all, and his mentality was extremely stable.

His opponent had shaggy messy hair, wore a pair of black-framed glasses, stared at the chess game and scratched his hair, and his body swayed back and forth slightly, which could be seen to be quite focused on thinking, but the nervous look on his face had already revealed his lack of confidence in the current situation.

Ten minutes later, the black-rimmed young man in the black glasses threw in the towel and stood up helplessly, "You're really good, I'll try my best to win you next time." ”

"You played well, I took the lead at the beginning of this game, so it was easier to play." The boy with a disability in his right eye smiled.

His name is Zheng Junyuan, he is 13 years old, and he has been learning chess for less than three years.

Although he has some eye diseases, his talent in chess can be described as excellent, and the speed of chess progress is like flying straight into the sky like riding an airplane.

All the way from the ranking group to the amateur 5th dan, he was in the top few in every competition, and he didn't learn chess for a long time, only taking two or three lessons a week, and more often he was reading books and groping at home.

Originally, this time he participated in the fixed-stage competition, and his coach still felt that he was a little reluctant, after all, he had just been in the industry for 5 not long ago, but he didn't expect that the results would be so good, and he could be promoted directly to the professional rank if he won this set.

"Zheng Junyuan, good job!" A few friends who came to play the game together congratulated him.

"Playing professional is only the first step, my goal is to surpass Zhao Ya!" Zheng Junyuan's intact eyes flashed slightly, and he said with high morale.
