Chapter 103: The Dark Horse Trio of N City
Not long after, Zhang Guangqi came back with another staff member holding a pair of Go, and the three of them sat in a triangle, with a table between each two people, and a pair of Go on the table.
This is what Lin Xiaoxiao called "going down in circles". Everyone has to go down with two other people at the same time, and after walking on the left, they have to turn to the right immediately. I need to calculate two sets of chess games at the same time, which is much more difficult, but also much more entertaining.
Because the three of them have equal chess strength, playing chess in this way can best exercise people's mental agility and strengthen their control over the whole game.
The three of them got up left and right, and the staff on the side looked interesting, so they stood aside and looked curiously.
However, people who know the rules of Go can watch it happily, but those who don't understand the rules at all can't see any meaning at all.
Li Zhongsheng naturally knows some Go, so he can still watch the chess game on the side, but the staff member who helped Zhang Guangqi hold the chessboard didn't understand it at all, and after watching it for a while, he was busy with his own affairs.
As the five people of the N City team, the top three basically got together every day to play chess and chat for some reasons - the chat was generally Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guangqi chatting, and Fang Yuan was sleeping on the side. The remaining fourth and fifth places were finally eliminated in the third game of the preliminary round.
Since this kind of national Go tournament was held, N City has hardly made it out of the preliminary round a few times, and this time it actually killed three people in one go?! And even the team competition these three won several times in a row, which is simply a miracle of the amateur Go competition in N City!
So, Lee Jong-sang was busy calling back to report, and the other staff members were desperately helping the three of them to prepare for the game, trying their best to shine, so that the three of them could perform well again.
The performance of N City has to be called a dark horse, Zhang Guangqi is an old black, Fang Yuan is a big black, and Lin Xiaoxiao is a little black...... The three black guys got together again on this day and played chess in circles.
"Not to mention, playing chess in this way is really good for exercising." Zhang Guangqi sighed while playing, his level of Go has improved in a few days here, and I have to say that it is quite effective to strengthen it with this method.
"Hmm." Fang Yuan nodded his head, rubbed his eyelids, and made another play on the chessboard he was playing against Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao scratched his cheeks and said: "It's not that this method works, as long as you maintain a certain intensity of daily chess training, most people can make some progress, don't you see those professional chess players play from morning to night every day?" ”
Fang Yuan: "Hmm. ”
Zhang Guangqi nodded: "Yes, every time I go to the chess academy to find Shu Dehong, the people there are playing against each other, it's really from morning to night......"
Fang Yuan: "Hmm. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced up at Fang Yuan: "Brother Fang, do you say anything other than 'um'?" ”
Fang Yuan rubbed his eyes again: "Yes." "Then there was no movement for a long time.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised his head and sighed, sighed for a while before lowering his head again, and said in a low voice: "Brother Fang, actually rub your eyes...... It will speed up the speed around the eyes and wrinkles. Moreover, the more you rub your eyes, the more itchy they become. ”
Fang Yuan finally raised his eyelids: "My eyes don't itch." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao tugged at the corners of her mouth: "It will be in the future." ”
Amateur Go competitions are not like those international Go competitions, the duration of the competition is relatively short, and the period of the competition is relatively short. Therefore, although Lin Xiaoxiao and the competition they participated in this time also needed to be played in a loop, they did not have to play as many as the official competition.
After the preliminary round, they entered the official knockout round, each person played five times, and those who lost three games in a row were eliminated, and finally twenty people were selected to rank with a total score.
In this way, players from all over the country were completely disrupted, and those Go masters also appeared one after another, and Lin Xiaoxiao and several people suddenly felt that Yali Mountain was big.
On this morning, it was the key event halfway through the team competition, and Lin Xiaoxiao's team sadly met the Z City team, which was the champion of the previous session and was rich in Go players.
"Victory is happy and defeated, don't have too much psychological pressure." Zhang Guangqi comforted and patted Lin Xiaoxiao and Fang Yuan's shoulders, wanting to reduce some pressure on these two young people.
"Oh, I'm not stressed." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and sat on the high chair and shook her feet.
"Same." After Fang Yuan finished saying these two words, his eyelids drooped, as if he would fall asleep at any time.
Zhang Guangqi gritted his back molars, and said secretly in his heart: Yes, you are not nervous, I'm nervous, right?
It didn't take long for all the players to enter, and the three players from Z City looked at Lin Xiaoxiao from a distance and their N City team.
"These three people have fought all the way to the present?" The captain of Z City frowned, he had read the simple information of these three people yesterday, but when he saw it again today, he still felt very incredible.
"Yes, old old, little little ......" The second player also shook his head, and turned around Lin Xiaoxiao and Fang Yuan, who seemed to be asleep at any time, as for Zhang Guangqi...... Ahem, I look like I'm getting older in this big game.
"Okay, you'll know later, who knows if they're not lucky?" No. 3 also glanced at Zhang Guangqi, and then comforted the other two teammates.
"Yes, but I don't want to win and be called a 'bully kid'." The captain sighed, his opponent turned out to be a little girl? It's also too ...... Too...... It's indescribable, isn't it? It's as if you win or lose and you're despised.
With the announcement of the referee, the game officially began, and Lin Xiaoxiao and the three of them sat firmly in their seats, ignoring the three opponents who were worried about the opposite side - anyway, we are the legendary dark horse trio, and it doesn't matter if we win or lose.
The stressful Z City trio sat opposite Lin Xiaoxiao with a heavy heart, vowing to defend the victory of this competition.
The opponent is the kind of opponent who has more pressure and more power, so Lin Xiaoxiao and the three of them tried their best to step down their own offensive while withstanding the opponent's strong offensive.
The morning passed slowly, and finally, the results came in......
"Oops, I lost." Lin left the scene with a smile.
"Hmm." Fang Yuan was still the same dead look.
"I'm so sorry, we lost today." Zhang Guangqi apologized to Li Zhongsheng without any regret on his face.
"Where, a few people have done their best, and with the level of our N city, it is a very good result to be able to play so far." Li Zhongsheng hurriedly comforted, "Tonight, please go to the Beijing Hotel, a five-star ......."
"No, no, isn't the game over yet? We'll talk about it when the individual competition is all over. Zhang Guangqi hurriedly waved his hand, I don't dare to eat this meal today, what if I eat it today and lose tomorrow? Lee Jong-sang didn't have a good intention to treat him today, this is putting pressure on everyone.
I didn't go to the restaurant to eat at night, I still ate in the hotel, the two players who had been eliminated in advance were leisurely these days, and a staff member from N City took the two out to play all day long, as if they were here to travel, not to play.
But the truth is that every game like this is always combined with sightseeing.
That night, Lin Xiaoxiao was resting in the room, thinking about whether to find Zhang Guangqi and them to play three-person chess? There was a knock at the door.
Aunt Sun went over to open the door: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Is Lin Xiaoxiao here?" A little girl's voice came from the doorway.
Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up, looked at the door, and laughed: "Sister Li Ling? What are you doing here? ”
"You didn't even tell me when you came to play? If we hadn't gone to the arena today, I wouldn't have known you were here. Li Ling walked in with a grin.
Today, the Go Association organized Li Ling, a relatively young chess player, to watch the amateur Go players' competition, because although the average amateur player's chess strength is relatively low, some of them are unable to become official players because of their own work, but their own strength is not bad at all, and some are higher than the official chess players.
Li Ling: The chess strength of these young chess players is somewhat lower than that of those amateurs.
There was also Shu Dehong who came with Li Ling, he was a teacher and player in the chess academy, and he happened to be in charge of leading the team today, so when he heard Li Ling say that he was going to find Lin Xiaoxiao, he came with him.
"I'll go to Zhang Guangqi's side to have a look, you two are here first, and come to us if you have something." Shu Dehong said hello to Lin Xiaoxiao and went to Zhang Guangqi's side.
The two little girls sat there chatting, Li Ling was obviously in a state of excitement and told him all the places he had been in Beijing, and he wanted to be his own tour guide and lead Lin Xiaoxiao out to play.
Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly declined her kindness and took herself out to play? Li Ling is only nine years old! Take yourself on a trip that is only a month away from reaching the age of seven? Don't lose yourself!
And here in the capital, I have stayed in my last life for a while, maybe the road is more familiar than Li Ling.
It didn't take long for Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Ling to go to Zhang Guangqi's side, Zhang Guangqi and Shu Dehong had already discussed, as soon as this competition was over, or after Zhang Guangqi and Lin Xiaoxiao all lost, they would take the two of them out to play, Zhang Guangqi also pulled Fang Yuan in by the way - it's hard to find a Go master in N City, it's rare to know Fang Yuan such a No. 1 person, but you have to find a way to pull him up, otherwise who will Lin Xiaoxiao find to play chess when she goes to school in the future?
Lin Xiaoxiao seriously doubted that even if he pulled Fang Yuan, it was estimated that he would be the ones who went out to play, and he was looking for a place to sleep when he went out......
At the end of the knockout round, Zhang Guangqi was the first to lose strength and failed to enter the finals. Lin Xiaoxiao and Fang Yuan narrowly squeezed in, and they were almost eliminated.
