Chapter 1: Half Eyes Wins and Loses
Half-eye! Another half-eye!
Ye Haoran shook his head gently, following the last round of half-eye small loss, this round actually made a half-eye victory and defeat again, there is often a saying in the Go circle that "winning a half-eye is the level, winning a half-eye is luck", it is a pity that this time the goddess of fate did not favor him, Ye Haoran repeatedly clicked over, but unfortunately the white chess is still behind the half-eye.
Although there are still some officials who have not been accepted, but for professional chess players, the outcome has been decided, and there is no point in playing again, Ye Haoran took out two chess pieces very graciously and gently placed them on the chessboard.
"Concession."
Seeing that the opponent threw himself and admitted defeat, Gu Hanchao breathed a sigh of relief lightly. This game of chess from the prologue stage of the black and white two dragons strangled together, the game is thrilling, if it is not for the white 176 hand slow hand live, so that the black chess take the opportunity to make two eyes, the black chess dragon life and death is worrying. Of course, the shape of white chess is also very thin, and if you force black to kill it, you will not be able to see whether you are alive or dead. The robbery in the official stage, after the conversion, the black chess was a little worried, and he was able to win this game of chess, Gu Hanchao really broke out in a cold sweat.
This game of chess is extremely important for Gu Hanchao's Jinling Weicao team, this is a game in the penultimate round of this year's Weijia League, for the Weicao team aiming at relegation, this is a game that cannot afford to lose, now they and Jinmen team, Quancheng team with 24 points, at the bottom of the league ranking, if this campaign is lost, the next round they face the strong Yucheng team that aims to win the championship, it is no chance to win, want to succeed in relegation, this round they must score points on the Shencheng Lingyun team.
But the Shencheng Lingyun team is not a piece of soft tofu that can be handled, this season is currently ranked third, although it is a little difficult to hit the championship, but it can still be firmly in the position of the leader of the second group in the strong team such as the Weijia League, and its strength is by no means comparable to the team such as the deputy squad leader of the Weicao team league, so it is not easy to score points on the Lingyun team.
In the second, third and fourth games that have been completed, the Weicao team temporarily fell behind 1:2, and now all the pressure has fallen on the shoulders of Gu Hanchao, the leader of the Weicao team.
Gu Hanchao's opponent is not simple, Ye Haoran is only eighteen years old, but he is the leader in this year's league multi-win list, especially in the middle of the season A wave of eighteen consecutive wins, it is simply terrifying. It has not been many years since the last eighteen consecutive victories were recorded in the tournament of strong players, and the last record of eighteen consecutive victories was set by the chess emperor Ke Jie.
can tie Ke Jie's record, that is enough to prove what a demon Ye Haoran is, the current Weijia arena, the competition is unprecedentedly fierce, and the level of first-class chess players is almost the same, not to mention eighteen consecutive wins, even ten consecutive wins and eight consecutive wins are rare.
Following Ke Jie's retirement, although the thickness of the Chinese chess world is still the same, it lacks a real leader, so it has never been able to occupy a leading position in the competition with Korean and Japanese chess players.
And Ye Haoran's birth, it seems that people can see a bright star is rising, thirteen years old, seventeen years old to join the top league, this season was originally a substitute chess player to play in the league, but at the beginning of the season achieved three wins and one loss, sitting firmly in the position of the main chess player, and then with a wave of eighteen consecutive wins swept the first-class chess players at home and abroad, the domestic rating ranking soared from more than 300 all the way to the top ten.
However, in the last few rounds of the league, Ye Haoran's state was slightly up and down, following the last round of half-eye losses to end the eighteen consecutive wins, this round lost again, which is more surprising.
The two did not replay, but only shook hands politely as the end of the game. The Wegrass team over there can't wait to celebrate the victory, this is their home stadium, this is their right.
Unlike the Weicao team, which happily celebrated the victory, the Lingyun team after the defeat looked a little lonely, Ye Haoran slowly walked in front of the team leader Zhong Zhenhua, and his mood was a little low: "I'm sorry, Director Zhong, I disappointed you." ”
After this chess loss, the Lingyun team was four points behind the first-ranked Yucheng team and three points behind the second-ranked Hangzhou team, completely withdrawing from the championship competition, but this season's third-place result was already a good result for the Lingyun team, which was originally in the middle of the league.
Zhong Zhenhua patted Ye Haoran on the shoulder and said kindly: "Haoran, you have done your best, but you are a little unlucky, let's work hard next season." "Although there is still a final round of the league, it is already a game that has nothing to do with the rankings, and Zhong Zhenhua has set his sights on next season.
Ye Haoran's performance this season is already amazing enough, and Zhong Zhenhua has reason to believe that Ye Haoran, whose chess strength is maturing, will bring them greater surprises next season. It seems that after the end of this season, it is necessary to discuss with the club's senior management to increase investment, if you can bring in high-level foreign aid from South Korea, then it will definitely not be a dream to hit the championship next season.
"This chess can be exported, it's really hell." A chess player sitting on the bench said in a weird way.
"Zeng Jian, what do you mean?" Happy to participate in the rapid chess table said to him very dissatisfied. Happy and the second chess player won the game, but the third chess player and the first Ye Haoran lost the game.
Zeng Jian snorted lightly and sneered: "Some people should know it. ”
Ye Haoran's eyes cooled, since Ye Haoran sat firmly in the position of the main chess player, Zeng Jian was reduced to a substitute, and rarely had the opportunity to play, so in the team, the relationship between the two has not been very good, there are rumors that the club is ready to give up renewing the contract with him, when Ye Haoran won in a row, Zeng Jian's face was stretched like Changbai Mountain, and he looked like a bitter hate, that is, Ye Haoran lost in these two rounds, and Zeng Jiancai recovered some vitality,
"Zeng Jian, you don't TMD here to refer to Sang and scold Huai, when did Brother Ye recruit you to provoke you, who will play is determined by the club and the coach, if you have the ability, you go to the boss, and don't make cheap mistakes here." is happy and straightforward, and Zeng Jian, who is very indifferent to the yin and yang weirdness on weekdays.
Zeng Jian is not afraid of being more than half a head higher than him, Go is different from other projects, gentlemen don't move their mouths and don't move, there are often players on the football field and basketball courts who beat each other, but it is rare to hear that there are people who flip the table on the Go field, especially professional chess players, that must have the quality and demeanor of a professional chess player, so Zeng Jian is very contemptuous of the happy attitude of the hot temper, this guy should not come to play Go at all. However, what makes Zeng Jian depressed is that the happiness of the same substitute chess player often has some good performances, so his chances of playing are higher than Zeng Jian's.
Zeng Jian ignored the happy and provocative gaze, and said lightly: "I'm just talking about things, why did you jump out in a hurry, could it be that there is a ghost in your heart?" ”
"You-" Happy glared angrily, if this wasn't the arena, Happy would have slapped him in the face.
"Shut up!" Zhong Zhenhua's face turned pale, and he shouted in a low voice, "Isn't it shameful enough?" ”
Although most of the reporters on the scene surrounded the winning side to interview, some reporters also glanced at this side, and the lace news outside the stadium will always be the favorite of reporters - if the Lingyun team breaks the news of infighting at this time, it will really lose the game and lose again.
The two parted abruptly, happily walked to Ye Haoran's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ye, this guy is really cheap, I really want to teach him a good lesson." ”
Ye Haoran said lightly: "Happy, I said a long time ago that don't pay attention to him, the Tao is not the same." ”
At the press conference after the game, the reporter's question was quite sharp: "Team Leader Zhong, the Lingyun team is the top three chess team this season, how can it lose to the bottom-ranked Weicao team, and is there a tacit understanding in this game?" ”
In the final stage of the game, in order to win the championship and relegation, all parties will do their best, in addition to the open and dark battles on the chessboard, tricks outside the chessboard are also common. Tacit chess can be said to be the stubborn disease of the entire Weijia competition, after all, the circle of Go is so big, there are human feelings, although the chess association has repeatedly ordered and strictly prohibited playing fake chess, but it is almost impossible to put an end to fake chess.
For example, "spoon chess" is easy to be judged as fake chess, but it is very common for a player to play a spoon for various reasons in a Go game, and it is unfair to define all spoon chess as fake chess.
In the face of the reporter's provocative question, Zhong Zhenhua, who is accustomed to seeing big scenes, is naturally shocked: "First of all, I want to congratulate the Weicao team on winning today and winning the most important game in the relegation battle, it is regrettable that our Lingyun team lost, but this is the game, it is precisely because it has a win or a loss, it will become brilliant, if the ranking can determine the winner, then what is the use of the game?" As for the tacit chess problem mentioned by this reporter, I think this is obviously not a problem, before the game, the Lingyun team still retains the hope of winning the championship, I don't think anyone will joke about the championship, right? ”
After the game, a group of more than a dozen people from the Lingyun team boarded the bus back to Shencheng, because of the loss, everyone's mood was not high, all of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the carriage was particularly dull.
The rain was drifting obliquely outside the car window, and the winter dusk was short, and when I returned to Shencheng, it was already dark.
The metropolis is never about the change of seasons, the traffic is weaving, the lights are bright, and the city is bustling. Ye Haoran turned his head to look out the window, but the familiar city had a strange feeling at the moment, and his thoughts were a little fluctuating.
"Hey, you say, will there be chess fans at the club to greet us?" Happy suddenly asked.
Usually after an away match, a large number of chess fans will gather at the entrance of the Lingyun Club to welcome the team back in triumph. But today? In such a ghost weather, the chess team also lost, and if there were really hardcore chess fans, they probably wanted to beat people.
Everyone looked happy, and their eyes were a little strange, this IQ was not pumped.
Happy hehe smiled and said, "When I didn't say it, when I didn't say it." ”
The inside of the carriage was dull again, and the bus quickly drove to the door of the Lingyun Club.
In the dim light, I was happy to see that there were really people standing at the gate, a man and a woman, he didn't pay attention to the man, the woman's tall figure, wearing a long trench coat, graceful.
"What a fan girl!" Laughing happily.
Everyone looked over, curious and surprised. Everyone rushed down, but the woman had an indifferent face, and it wasn't until Ye Haoran got out of the car that she opened her mouth and said, "Ye Haoran, right?" ”
Happy carried Ye Haoran on his shoulder, revealing a malicious smile.
Ye Haoran frowned slightly, he didn't know this woman at all, he nodded and said, "It's me." ”
The woman took out her ID from the pocket of her trench coat, raised it in front of him, and said, "I'm from the police station, please come with me." ”
