Chapter Ninety-Six: Charging Chess

Li Xiaoqiang ignored Yukari Umezawa. He turned his head to Zhang Zhidong with a smile and said:

"I said Zhang Da reporter, do you see it, I'm looking for trouble. I've got one more game tomorrow, so I'll have to deal with it here. Don't worry, there are no powerful characters here, and you are also a top amateur master. It's okay to cope. ”

Zhang Zhidong thought about it, it was actually inappropriate to let Li Xiaoqiang play chess today. So I ran over to negotiate with a group of young Japanese chess players.

They chattered and chattered Japanese, and Li Xiaoqiang couldn't understand it. Bored waiting on the side, ready to wait for Zhang Zhidong to finish the negotiations, they will flash together.

But after waiting for a few minutes, I found that there was no response over there. looked up over there and found Zhang Zhidong standing there with an embarrassed face. Mei Ze also looked embarrassed, explaining something to Zhang Zhidong. The others stood there with calm expressions.

Li Xiaoqiang's heart moved, as if he remembered something. Walked over:

"Li Xiaoqiang, a Chinese professional three-dan chess player. Japanese vocational students and junior high school students, who are willing to come and receive guidance. ”

Of course, this is not Li Xiaoqiang's madness. I said I was going back, and I suddenly wanted to be in the limelight. This is because Li Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered the reason for Zhang Zhidong's embarrassment, that is, ignoring the "national conditions" of Japanese Go.

The Japanese Chess Academy has strict requirements for its professional players. Needless to say, running out of the game to participate in amateur competitions, even if you play chess with amateur players, you can't just play randomly.

"A professional chess player can't play without a game fee."

This was a basic principle followed by the Japanese Chess Academy in this era. Even if you play chess with amateur players, there are very detailed fees. How much is the appearance fee of the super first-class, how much is the seventh stage, how much is the fifth stage, all the way to the first stage. There are very clear rules. Japanese chess fans are accustomed to all this, and they don't think there's anything wrong with it.

This is completely different from what our country is used to. In our country, it is generally believed that if you want to learn chess seriously, then it is normal to ask a master to guide you, and others will charge some tuition. If you just want to communicate with a professional Go player, you will never think of paying. In fact, when Chinese professional chess players communicate with Go enthusiasts, they don't think about the charge at all.

Once, Chen Chaoyue Jiudan went to Japan for a competition, and during the competition, the Japanese side also arranged interactive exchanges with Go enthusiasts. After Chen Chaoyue finished playing chess instruction with a Japanese Go enthusiast, the Japanese chess fan took the initiative to take out some money as a guide fee for the game. Hehe, I believe that Chen Chaoyue Jiuduan must have had the feeling of "collecting tips" at that time, and he must have resolutely not wanted it, and he would not ask for it.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that he was thinking about something wrong in this place. According to his original thoughts, Zhang Zhidong's chess is actually very good, about the same level as the current professional early stage, at least about the same level as the academy students. There are a group of young chess players in front of me, and the oldest is 16 or 7 years old. I don't know if there is a career in the fifth section, Li Xiaoqiang estimates that there is not. Because at present, their "crown prince", 20-year-old Ita Kiki is only six dans. Li Xiaoqiang, the person inside, has no impression, there should be no masters. Even if it is high, it will not be much higher than Zhang Zhidong. It's not that you have to compete seriously, so there is no problem for Zhang Zhidong to deal with it.

But Li Xiaoqiang forgot that Zhang Zhidong is now an amateur 5th dan. China's first amateur 6th dan will not be produced until the first "Evening News Cup" two years later. So he reported himself to his family, and he could only say that he was an amateur 5 dan. This is where the problem arises. What does it feel like for a Japanese professional chess player to hear an amateur 5 dan? Well, it's similar to Li Xiaoqiang's feeling when he hears "Beijing Industry 5".

The issuance of amateur Go rank certificates is also an important source of income for the Japan Chess Academy. So they put amateur 5 dan down very loosely. Sometimes, I send two chess games that I played to the Japanese Chess Academy, and a professional master "appraises" them. Well, this person has an amateur 3-dan level, so he can pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

Amateur 5 dan to amateur 6 dan is a hurdle, and 6 dan is more strict. A student like Yukari Umezawa is an amateur 6th dan. It's even more difficult to get to the 7th dan, and there are only a few amateur kings, and the ones who have won a few national championships are the amateur 7th dan.

So Zhang Zhidong, an amateur 5-stage who went up to negotiate, of course, no one paid attention to him. In the eyes of those young Japanese chess players, China's industry 5 may also be Japan's industry 4, I can let a lot of you come over, let me say something? It's too self-sufficient.

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang must stand up with a high profile immediately. Now reporter Zhang Da is already his friend, and he is in an embarrassing situation to help him. You have to stand up no matter what.

The second is that Li Xiaoqiang is afraid that a young Japanese chess player will stand up at this time. proposed to play chess with Zhang Zhidong. According to their idea, they are "guiding and guiding" Chinese Go enthusiasts, so isn't it unclear that they have to owe money to others?

In these years, it was very expensive to play a game of chess in Japan, and the yen was appreciating every day. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang has no money, and Zhang Zhidong is estimated to be enough.

So Li Xiaoqiang has to report to his home first, and then say "guide others". At this time, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't care about keeping a low profile, so he attracted the firepower first. Anyway, in their opinion, he is already a "mysterious boy", and it is not a big deal to talk about it at all.

Li Xiaoqiang said that he was a Chinese professional third-stage, and there was no way. The group of people on the opposite side are at least college students, that is, amateur 6 dan. How can you "guide" others if you don't report higher? Besides, Li Xiaoqiang estimates that he should set himself a career third stage when he returns to China this time.

After the "Chess Boy Cup" competition, Luo Shenzhu and they all set the beginning of their careers. If you set yourself at the beginning of the paragraph, you wouldn't have to be so troublesome, so I issued a certificate to myself at that time. Even at that time, there should be no problem with giving myself a second-stage certificate, after all, I won all 11 battles. Most likely, the management wants to see how they perform in this competition. So far, my performance should be considered good. Anyway, I have to give a three-paragraph paragraph. In this era, management is not standardized, there is a precedent for such a thing, and it is normal to do so.

Li Xiaoqiang suddenly stood up in such a high-profile manner, and a group of young Japanese chess players really became interested. A lot of people are also eager to try it. But none of them actually stood up. Although they were very curious about Li Xiaoqiang, they also wanted to give it a try. But it's always a little awkward. After all, Li Xiaoqiang's age is too young, although he may be very powerful. But I was instructed by a child......

Yukari Umezawa did ideological work on the side for half a day, but none of the Japanese chess players stood up. Li Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to find an opportunity to slip away with Zhang Zhidong. This little girl Mei Ze ran over:

"Li Sang, I am willing to accept your guidance."

Yukari Umezawa can't help it. How to say it myself, it is also a temporary translation, not to mention the question of whether the Chinese guests are good or not. I originally wanted to watch Li Xiaoqiang's good show, but who knew that none of his compatriots were angry? No one dares to stand up? How do you talk to that "monster"? No one wants to play with you? That's not good. No one dares to play with you? Can I say it? I had no choice but to go on my own.

Li Xiaoqiang secretly complained in his heart. The heart said what are you doing when you little girl ran out? I really don't want to take your "tip". I've finally saved up some fame, I'm easy, I'm easy. In the future, some people say that I, Li Xiaoqiang, ran to the Japanese chess academy to bully a little girl like you, and I can't afford to lose that person.

It's too late, though. The big words were said by themselves first, and now someone has come forward. It doesn't seem to work either.

Li Xiaoqiang made a bitter face, and came to a chessboard with Yukari Umezawa......
