Chapter 758: Jingshan Returns to China
readx;?“ The "National Individual Competition" is coming to an end, but the management of Chinese Go is worrying about the current situation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A total of 12 rounds, when 9 rounds are over, Iyama Yuta is ranked 1st with 8 wins and 1 loss. He is the only player in the entire tournament who has lost 1, and the best results of the other participating players have already lost 2.
If that's all it takes, Iyama's "small score" is still extremely high, and his "small score" is also the highest among all chess players.
What does this mean? This means that if he wins 2 and loses 1 in the next 3 games, then the championship basically does not run, and even if he loses 2 games in the next 3 games, there is a high probability of winning the final championship.
The management is starting to struggle.
Unlike the situation of "foreign chess players" or "guest chess players" in Japan and South Korea, the situation of Iyama is more special. At the beginning, Chinese Go accepted Jingshan with the mentality of "repaying gratitude", but Jingshan was not registered with the Chinese Weiqi Association, in other words, the current Jingshan is still a fake chess player affiliated to the Japanese Chess Academy. His situation is somewhat similar to the so-called "commission trainees" in colleges and universities.
In addition to attending competitions in Chinese schools and China, Iyama returns to Japan every year to participate in some competitions. Of course, he won't be competing in these tournaments, including the Big 7 titles. The only competition that Jingshan participates in is the "big hand" in spring and autumn every year.
The current Iyama is not only a professional third dan in China, but also a professional fifth dan in Japan. At the same time, he has two different countries' professional ranks, and there is currently only one person in the whole world.
Although Li Xiaoqiang once said in advance when he accepted Jingshan as an apprentice: the condition for Jingshan to return to China is that he must win a championship in China. But when this day was really coming, everyone felt extremely entangled.
What everyone is entangled in is not that Iyama won the championship, but that he participated in this competition.
This is the 'National Individual Competition'! Although in the eyes of many masters, this game has existed like chicken ribs. The attention and overall level of this competition have also decreased year by year, but after all, it is the national individual competition of Chinese Go.
As we all know, in China, Go is classified as a sport, and there is a "competent department" above the Chinese Chess Academy, that is, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China. The "National Individual Competition" is actually an event affiliated to the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China.
In other words, only the winner of the "National Individual Championship" is the standard "National Championship", and other more influential competitions such as "Celebrity Fight" or "Tianyuan Battle" are considered "commercial competitions".
But now, a real "national champion" is likely to be a Japanese...
"Xiaoqiang, what do you say about this now?"
The one who asked this was Wang Lunan and Wang Lao, who has now replaced the retired Chen Chaoyue as the new president of the Chinese Chess Academy. Wang Lunan is also looking entangled now. Li Xiaoqiang knew in his heart that Wang Lao did not win the championship in Jingshan, but other people, including him, actually more in the public opinion of the outside world.
You must know that now is not the era of the 80s of the last century when "Sino-Japanese friendship" was emphasized, and now the contradictions between China and Japan, whether from the non-governmental to the official, have reached the point of no return, and now if a Japanese becomes the champion of Chinese Go, I believe that the reaction of chess fans who really know how to go is not great, and the real reaction is likely to be some blind chess who know nothing about Go.
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang has nothing to do about this situation.
"In the last century, everyone knew that the center of the world Go was in Japan, but now, I think the center of the world has returned to China. Since it is the center of the world of Go, I think we should have a tolerant mindset and a broad mind... ”
At this time, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly sang such a high note inexplicably. Everyone was stunned at first, but after all, most of the people who play Go are smart people, and many people quickly understood what Li Xiaoqiang meant.
"What does Xiaoqiang mean...
"For Jingshan's victory, we are nothing more than worried about public opinion in the outside world, if we want to deal with public opinion, the best way is of course to create different public opinion, and use public opinion to deal with public opinion."
"Good! Xiaoqiang's method is good, let's use what Xiaoqiang just said to promote, maybe this can turn out a good thing, hahahaha... ”
The real situation is indeed as Li Xiaoqiang said, and what everyone is worried about is nothing more than some public opinion. But is public opinion really that scary? Li Xiaoqiang really doesn't think much.
They discussed how to create public opinion to deal with possible public opinion. And if the Chinese Go community wants to create public opinion, the best candidate is, of course, Nie Whirlwind.
"What is it about a Japanese man who wins the championship in China? I think in the near future, if an American, or a European, or even an African wins the Go championship, I will only be happier in my heart... ”
With the help of reporter Zhang Da and other reporters who are good friends with the Chinese Chess Academy, everyone began to concoct public opinion similar to this and prepared to release it in advance.
Everyone was in a good mood after thinking of countermeasures, and finally Wang Lunan said unsatisfactorily:
"Seriously, if it is really Xiaojingshan who wins the championship in the end, I feel a little uncomfortable, so let's think about whether we can cause him some trouble."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they must admit that everyone's worries just now were not unreasonable. Although everyone says that they don't care about Jingshan winning the championship, we Chinese are good-faced after all, as long as we are a good-face person, we will always be a little uncomfortable to see Jingshan win the championship.
For example, Wang Lao is a good-looking person, so he wants to "make some trouble" for Jingshan.
But how can this "trouble" be created? This is very particular. Some "troubles" are low-level, and some "troubles" are just right.
For example, when Mr. Wu Qingyuan participated in the first "Ben Yin Fang Battle", the "trouble" caused to him by the Japanese was low-spirited.
When Japan held the first "Ben Yin Fang War" that year, Mr. Wu Qingyuan also participated. In the qualifiers, no matter from which point of view, Wu Qingyuan was the best achiever, but the Japanese adopted a very strange scoring method, a scoring method that Li Xiaoqiang still did not understand, and directly deprived Wu Qingyuan of the right to the final.
Therefore, now everyone can see that the first winner of Japan's "Honinbo" was Mr. Toshiichi Sekiyama, not the strongest Wu Qingyuan at that time.
However, although the "Fangmen" overshadowed Mr. Wu, they did not end up with anything good. Everyone knows that the Japanese Go "Ancient Four Families": "Honinbo", "Yasui", "Inoue" and "Rin". This is where Japan's modern "Honinbo War" came about. And what about Mr. Toshiichi Sekiyama? When it comes to the origin, he should belong to the disciples of "Anjing".
The first "Ben Yin Fang" position was won by the disciples of "Yasui", which was of course a shame for "Fangmen".
Now everyone wants to "make some trouble" for Iyama, and of course it is impossible to act as despicable as the Japanese, but is ready to adopt a righteous and bright approach:
"Find a way to adjust Jingshan's opponent, so that he can encounter a few more strong opponents in the back, Yu Tou, can this be done?"
Everyone looked at Yu Bin, Yu Bin is a computer expert of the national Go team, and he wrote the computer programming program for this competition. Under normal circumstances, all rounds are automatically arranged by the computer, but now since it is "causing trouble", it is still easy to do it with manual intervention.
"I'll take a look...
Next, Yu Bin sat down in front of the computer and busily opened:
"Well, the game is playing at this point, and it seems really not easy to find a few "troublemakers"... ”
It's really not easy, this kind of competition system is like this, if this arrangement procedure is scientific enough, then the competition is going on to this point, it can be said that Jingshan has almost touched all the strong players in the competition. Therefore, although there are many masters who did not participate in this competition, resulting in the lack of influence of this competition, it is actually quite difficult to win the championship in this competition.
Yu Bin picked left and right, and finally arranged two opponents for Jingshan, one of which was the "Little Tiger Generation" of "Brother Niu", this is a chess idiot, he will not miss any game, this time he also appeared in the individual competition. It's a pity that in the previous game, "Brother Niu" did not perform well, so far it is only 5 wins and 4 losses, if it is automatically arranged by the computer, it is impossible for him to become the opponent behind Jingshan, but now in order to 'make trouble", he has become the next round opponent of Jingshan under manual intervention.
The other is Li Xiaoqiang's eldest disciple Chen Xiaoqiang, Chen Xiaoqiang's situation is similar to "Brother Niu", and he is also one of the few strong players that Jingshan has not encountered in this competition.
"Hey, hey, interesting...
Li Xiaoqiang did not intervene in everyone to make trouble for Jingshan, because in Li Xiaoqiang's view, there is no problem of unfairness to Jingshan. In Go, there's never anything absolutely fair. If Jingshan can still win the championship in this situation, it will prove his strength even more and show the gold content of his championship, isn't it?
Everything went according to everyone's plan, so what happened in the end?
In the 10th round of the "National Individual Competition", Yuta Iyama vs "Brother Niu". This game of chess between the two sides fought for nearly 8 hours, and it was the last end of all the games, but it is a pity that "Brother Niu" has not been in good shape recently, and he has not been able to stop Jingshan's progress.
9 wins and 1 loss! Iyama continues to hold the lead.
In the 11th round, Yuta Iyama vs Chen Xiaoqiang. Li Xiaoqiang personally sat on the referee's seat and watched the duel between the two disciples.
Li Xiaoqiang was full of interest when he watched the battle, because in his previous life, Jingshan almost never won against Chen Xiaoqiang.
But what about now?
The current situation is that Li Xiaoqiang knew at about 4 p.m. that Jingshan's return to China was probably a foregone conclusion. (To be continued.) )
