Ye Haoran, as the invitee, naturally couldn't use his five-star hotel game room, but this time the room he was teleported to was not an ordinary game room, but an empty field.

The babbling stream, crystal clear, you can see a few colorful fish swimming lightly in the water, the sky is blue, those few white clouds dotted on the blue sky, picturesque, under the shade of green bamboo, is a quaint stone arch bridge, in the meantime, there is really a feeling of coming to a paradise.

Accustomed to seeing the haze day, such a clear water and blue sky made Ye Haoran a little trance, the scene of this small bridge and flowing water is too real, the real ones are a little unbelievable, even the air here has become extraordinarily fresh, and taking a breath makes people feel a sense of relaxation and happiness.

Of course, Ye Haoran knew that the game room of this "small bridge and flowing water" was just one of several game rooms on the game area network, and the price was expensive, three times that of the game room of a five-star hotel.

The chess table is set on the bridge, the chessboard is simple and elegant, I feel that there are a lot of years, a person behind the chess table, but the white clothes are fluttering, there is a Confucian style.

This white Hanfu, the price of the mall is even higher than the suit, which undoubtedly confirms the idea of a local tyrant in Ye Haoran's heart.

But then again, being able to play chess in this kind of place is indeed a pleasant thing, and the small bridge and flowing water really have a poetic feeling, and the beauty of the charm of Go is also quite complementary here.

Ye Haoran glanced at the other party's ID, Konggu Youlan, a professional chess player with a yellow name, but his face was quite unfamiliar, probably like Ye Haoran, he chose to hide his true appearance. However, the opponent's shot is quite generous, either rich or expensive, and ordinary players are already out of reach of this "small bridge and flowing water" game room alone.

Empty Valley Youlan's record is ten wins and one loss, which means that he just advanced from the 0 dan area today, although it is a little worse than those players who have won ten consecutive victories to advance, but as the first batch of players to kill the 0 dan area today, it is obviously not bad in strength.

It stands to reason that after a professional chess player reaches the age of forty, his chess strength will decline, and it is the time to retire to the rivers and lakes after becoming famous.

Ye Haoran climbed the stairs and came to the front of the chess table, but Konggu Youlan was polite, got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Please." ”

The two sides sat down, and soon the game began.

Hollow Valley Youlan's expression was calm, neither despised Ye Haoran's white title, nor was he surprised by Maple Leaf's eleven consecutive victories, he sat there peacefully, with a pampered and not shocked expression, this game he took the black first, the fall was chic and elegant, plus an ancient costume, like an ancient chess player, there is really a style of a Go master.

This is an impetuous era, the current Go, mixed with a lot of utilitarianism, has lost the original beauty of Go, now the pure Go is difficult to find, at this moment Ye Haoran is in this small bridge and flowing water environment, can't help but be in a trance, seems to have a return to nature, return to the ancient feeling, in this environment to play chess, there is really a return to the true artistic conception.

Maybe it was the hollow valley that Youlan deliberately shielded it, and there were no other spectators in this game room except for the two of them.

Without the audience, naturally there will be no people who bet on points, and this game will not get any rake, but Ye Haoran doesn't mind at all, if thousands of spectators pour in here like the previous game, I'm afraid it will be a bad thing, and no matter how beautiful the artistic conception is, it will be ruined by these noisy crowds.

From this point of view, the hollow valley Youlan can be regarded as an elegant person.

Moreover, the chess of the hollow valley Youlan came out, and it also had a bit of the style of ancient chess, with a degree of relaxation and a combination of offense and defense.

Today's chess attitude towards ancient chess has basically gone to two extremes, one is the ancient school, which believes that the level of ancient chess is comparable to the level of modern Go, especially Huang Longshi, Shi Xiangxia and Fan Xiping in the early Qing Dynasty, representing the highest level of ancient chess, and "Danghu Ten Games" is known as the pinnacle of ancient chess. The other is the depreciatory faction, believing that Huang Shifan's level is not more than 6 at most, which is too far from today's professional chess players.

Fan Shiye's 6 theory was put forward by Yu Bin, the former head coach of the national team, while Mr. Wu Qingyuan, the master of Go, believes that Huang Longshi's middle game has a level of 13 paragraphs. After all, those things that cross over are just things in novels, and no one can let a modern chess player travel to the past to compete with Huang Shifan, nor can Huang Longshi travel to the present to have a peak duel with Ke Jie.

Ye Haoran is not a reverent ancient school, nor is he a derogatory ancient school, he has his own understanding of ancient chess. Go is a sport with a long history, and now to discuss the level of ancient chess and modern chess, that is, just like Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, the rules are different, the times are different, and there is no result at all.

At the time of the first Olympic Games, the level of the athletes was the best in the world, but these results, now, are at best equivalent to the level of amateurs, but can you deny their greatness? The reason why human beings can continue to advance and make breakthroughs is because we will always stand on the shoulders of giants.

There is no point in discussing the level of ancient chess, but we cannot deny that the contributions made by the generations of ancient chess players to the development of Go, without them, we may not know what Go is, they are the unshakable cornerstone of Go, and modern chess players should have a grateful heart for ancient chess, rather than to talk about the level of senior chess players and raise themselves by stepping on ancient chess.

Of course, it is not advisable to worship the ancient, although Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis are great, but the level of modern track and field cannot stay in their time, the same is true of Go, the era of Huang Shifan has passed, Go is also constantly developing, newer theories and higher peaks are waiting for modern chess players to create and climb, the art is endless, there is no theoretical limit to any sport, only continuous transcendence and continuous breakthrough, is the eternal theme.
