Chapter 361: Also a prodigy

"Teacher Guan, do you know that? Can you tell us about it? Everyone has curiosity, not to mention that this is a matter with the two most powerful Go families today, Tan Xiaotian can't care about drinking mung bean soup now, grabbing Teacher Guan's sleeve and shaking it and begging.

Standing by the window, you can hope for Jingxin, if it wasn't for the intention, there was no need to talk about so much before, being begged by children like this, Teacher Guan's vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Teacher Guan, do you want to tell a story? Every day, why don't you call me first, it's too boring. In the Zhenshu Pavilion, Lin Zicong drank his share of mung bean soup, waited for a while, and didn't see Teacher Guan and Tan Xiaotian coming up, so he climbed up to the roof to see what was going on.

"Ah, hehe, you're just in time, Teacher Guan hasn't started yet." Tan Xiaotian really didn't expect Lin Zicong in the room to be complained by the other party, he only had to smirk, quickly make up for it, and give half of the bricks under his ass to Lin Zicong, and let him sit down and listen to the teacher set up the dragon gate together.

Lin Zicong was not polite, and sat on the brick, "Teacher Guan, what story do you want to tell?" Is it a war? He asked Teacher Guan.

"Heh, you kid, at such a young age, why do you think about this kind of thing in your head? This is a chess academy, not a martial arts hall, and we fight and kill all day long, how can we get it when we grow up. Teacher Guan scolded with a smile.

"Hee-hee, that's what I asked, that's what you heard, you told yours, I just listened." Sticking out his tongue and making a grimace, Lin Zicong knew that now was not the time to quarrel with Teacher Guan and be clever, so he hurriedly pretended to be a good student.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." glanced at Lin Zicong. Teacher Guan just started to speak.

"It was about ten years ago, when the Jiang family and the Tan family had not fallen out, although the matter of private and low internal disputes has never been broken, but there is still a kind of peace on the surface, but everyone knows that this kind of apparent peace cannot be maintained forever, for two reasons, one is that since the death of Jiang Shifeng, the head of the Jiang family in the previous generation, because Jiang Yongnian and Tan Ziqiang have equal strength and qualifications and are not convinced by each other, and Emperor Jiade was old and frail at that time. It is rare to go to the court several times a year, so the position of the editor of the Hanlin Academy has been idle, Jiang Yongnian and Tan Ziqiang are both working together as deputy editors to deal with the affairs of the chess world, but one mountain does not allow two tigers, two people work in the Hanlin Academy at the same time, each other's official positions are the same, the power is equal, the status in the chess world, fame. The forces are also inseparable, the so-called people do not go without heads, birds do not fly without heads, and two people fight to tear each other down, so that many things cannot be handled. It's not a way to do it for a long time, and when Emperor Jiade dies and Emperor Jiande succeeds to the throne, this matter will have a result sooner or later. Only by setting the position of the editor of the Hanlin Academy can the chess world run normally and let the people below have something to follow. ”

"Second. Tan Ziqiang and Jiang Yongnian's generation are equal in chess, although the next generation of children although there are many masters in the two families, each has its own strengths, but on the whole it is still about the same, no one can talk about the advantage, but in the third generation, the Tan family has a very talented genius called Tan Yi, how is this Tan Yi a powerful method, it is said that he learned to play at the age of six, and at the age of seven, he reached the level of Tan Ziqiang teaching nine sons without defeat", Teacher Guan continued.

"What's that, before entering school, I won more than 100 games by teaching backgammon with Teacher Li, if you want to say that it is amazing, Tiantian is much better than him." Lin Zicong interjected - the capital is so far away, he is young and not from a Go family, where will he know who Tan Yi is, and among the peers he knows, Tan Xiaotian's strength is the strongest, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, and it is also a handicap of nine games, Tan Xiaotian was just over six years old at that time, and Tan Yi was already seven years old, simple number comparison, naturally Tan Xiaotian is stronger.

"Stupid words! How can Li Qiusheng's chess strength be compared with Tan Ziqiang? One is a grandmaster-level figure who can be called a generation of overlords, and the other is an ordinary five-grade chess player who is just qualified to participate in the imperial chess battle but does not even dare to go to the capital, the gap between the two is not only heaven and earth, can Tan Ziqiang's teaching of nine games and Li Qiusheng's teaching of nine games be the same thing? Teacher Guan reprimanded when he heard the words - he is an old man brought by Zheng Jigong from the capital, although he is not surnamed Zheng, but subconsciously he has long regarded himself as a person of the Zheng family, in his mind, Tan Ziqiang and Jiang Yongnian are the Taishan Beidou in today's chess world, only Zheng Xinyu, the head of the Zheng family, and Dong Wannian, the head of the Dong family, can be compared with the masters of that level, and a guy like Li Qiusheng, who can only be regarded as a third-rate chess player even in Yangzhou, is qualified to compare with Tan Biqiang.

"Uh, hehe, count me for talking nonsense, Teacher Guan, you go on." Seeing that Teacher Guan was angry, Lin Zicong hurriedly turned the rudder when he saw the wind, and hurriedly took the initiative to admit his mistake, but what he was thinking in his heart was something else - although Li Qiusheng's chess strength was definitely far less than Tan Ziqiang's, but what Teacher Guan said was that Tan Yi was undefeated in the nine-sub game with Tan Ziqiang when he was seven years old, in other words, he was awarded the strength of the eighth son, and Tan Xiaotian and Li Qiusheng won more than 100 games of chess. At least it won't be worse than that Tan Yi.

Lin Zicong softened, and Teacher Guan no longer got angry with him, children, if they are as informed and reasonable as adults, and everything is clear, can they still be called children?

"Where did you just go?" was interrupted by Lin Zicong, Teacher Guan couldn't answer the conversation for a while, and said to himself.

"Speaking of Tan Yi, when he was seven years old, he reached the level of Tan Ziqiang giving nine sons without being defeated." Tan Xiaotian listened very carefully, and immediately reminded.

"Yes, that's right, the four major families in the capital, Tan Ziqiang, Jiang Yongnian's third generation of disciples must have thirty or forty at best, each family began to cultivate these children at a very young age, and received the most rigorous training, but there is no one who can do what Tan Yi did, he entered the product at the age of nine, and began to show his head and feet in the capital at the age of ten, and at the age of twelve he set up a ring in the Wulu Tea Society, and Jiang, Zheng, Dong and other chess players of the same generation fought ten games, nine wins and one loss, and the other three were called ' The Four Sons of Beijing', and he is the youngest one, and even the weak crown, he is even sharper, and he has the demeanor of the first master of the younger generation. Teacher Guan then continued. (To be continued......)
