Chapter 8 · Sure enough, we still have to start from the club

In the afternoon, after class.

Accompanied by the setting moon in Shuicheng, Ke Zhiguang came to the door of the Yunjing Go Club - a gymnasium.

According to common sense, the gymnasium can be used as an activity room, such as the basketball club and the volleyball club, and it is really abnormal for a Go club to use this kind of place as an activity space.

"Our school's Go club is very powerful, it is an ace-level club, and it often gets rankings in national competitions, and the basketball club and karate club have always wanted to take back their territory, but they all failed because of the lack of results in the competition." Mizuki Yuzuki introduced with some pride.

Hearing this, Ke Zhiguang secretly smiled disdainfully.

Fortunately, I brought anti-wolf spray, and I am not afraid of these people wearing white uniforms.

"Of course, don't worry about them coming to the door, they are still very martial." Shuicheng Xiyue saw Ke Zhiguang's secret smile written on his face, and always felt that he was thinking about something out of tune, so he immediately explained.

After accompanying Qiusheng Zheng to finish the game of double dragon last night, he lay on the bed and thought a lot, and there were three roads in front of him

(1) Buy books for self-study.

(2) Enroll in the Go class.

(3) Plus community.

Although he is very confident in his talent for Go, he can't help but feel a pain in his brain at the thought of facing the dense text in the book, not to mention that he doesn't know which textbook to start with.

There is no money to sign up for classes.

It doesn't feel good to go to Harushima Deer again.,Hanging a half-game of chess and her didn't finish playing.,If you want to ask her for advice.,It's always weird.,Maybe you'll be stared back by her vicious little eyes.。

In the end, only the club remained, and since ancient times, there has been a path of sports, first joining the club, then co-lodging, first playing county-level competitions, then passing through national competitions, and finally going to the collapse of the combat effectiveness system in the World Series - the last sentence is crossed out.

Fortunately, he has heard of the strength of his school's Go club, which is one of the best in the country, and the number of clubs in the school is the first, which is enough to see its strength.

In fact, according to the impression of ordinary dramas, his understanding of the community often starts from the copy of "facing the abolition of the ministry due to insufficient numbers".

"And when was the last game you played?"

"The latest competition is actually almost starting, just three weeks later, it's a team event." Shuicheng Xiyue answered truthfully, not noticing the slight change in Ke Zhiguang's expression when he asked this question.

"Three weeks...... "Ke Zhiguang rubbed his jaw, calculating the time.

It should be fine.

If you have enough talent.

"I said, classmate Ke, do you really want to join the Go club?" Mizuki asked worriedly.

"Of course, haven't you been urging me to add a club before, otherwise I won't get enough credits."

"That's true, but I really didn't expect you to choose to join the Go club, I thought you would add a sports club or something."

"It's not bad, mental exercise is also exercise."

And so it is..... But let me start with it, Go is not as simple as you think, and if you don't have an interest, learning it is very boring. ”

After repeated persuasion to retreat, but still to no avail, Mizuki Yuyue still pushed the door of the Go club for Ke Zhiguang.

What appeared in front of Ke Zhiguang's eyes was a somewhat spectacular scene, in which hundreds of students gathered, sitting cross-legged on cushions, playing in groups of two and two, with senior seniors next to them.

Several tennis nets were separated between the crowd, divided into teams of various levels, and on the podium of the stadium, there were adult Go teachers standing in front of the large chessboard to teach some of the students.

It's like a thriving Go dojo for protégés, dreaming back to the Edo period.

"This is our beginner, and the game they are playing is starting from the center of the chessboard, and whoever eats the opponent's five pieces first will win." Shuicheng Xiyue introduced to Ke Zhiguang.

The game of killing can be said to be the only way for beginners to go to better understand the rules of Go, understand the basic chess style, is quite simple and casual, and can be played as a backgammon.

A beginner girl stood up happily, apparently winning, while her opponent lay on the board in distress.

At this time, a brittle branch bud appeared behind the schoolgirl, and it also had a warm halo.

【Symbolic Spirit: New Life of Branches and Buds】

[Description: You have to take good care of its growth]

Maybe it's because I won this game and found a happy feeling, so this happened, right?

Most beginners have such branches floating behind their backs, but the degree of openness varies, some are just probe, some have already bloomed, and some are simply a seed.

There are also some withering saplings with leaves falling off one by one, possibly suggesting a loss of interest in the game.

"This is our intermediate class, and they are playing a game of 13-way small chessboard."

Usually people understand Go as a 19-way board, which is of course true, but before getting into the 19-way board, experienced teachers often ask students to play chess on a 13-way small board, and then challenge the broader 19-way board after getting used to it.

At this stage, the symbolic spirits behind the students begin to diverge significantly.

Milk foxes, milk snakes, milk fish, and milk cats are all available, giving people the feeling of walking into a newborn pet store.

But a little strangely, there are no milk dogs.

In fact, Ke Zhiguang prefers dogs to cats, and has always wanted to raise a border collie, but this matter can only be said with money in the future, and the cost of raising a dog is much higher than raising a cat.

"Over there, it's our advanced class, that's also my class, the teacher's name is Cangyuqiao, he is an amateur 5th dan, he has been teaching Go here with us, and he has very teaching experience." Mizuki Yuzuki gestured to the group that was taking the class on the podium.

But these people do not have a symbolic spirit on their bodies, and they look quite clean.

Probably because they weren't playing the game, they were just listening to the music on the chessboard in front of them.

Speaking of which, when watching the game on TV yesterday, Ke Zhiguang did not see the symbolic spirit behind the two professional chess players.

Perhaps it is necessary to see the symbolic spirit behind them when the chess players appear in front of them and play against each other on the chessboard.

Ke Zhiguang thought about it and learned more about his golden finger.

"Is the game they're talking about yesterday the NHK game?" Ke Zhiguang glanced at the big chessboard on the podium, and suddenly felt that the chess game was a little familiar.

"Even you know?" The sunset in the water city was quite unexpected.

"I happened to see it yesterday, and the two sides of the battle are the fourth dan of the bamboo sword forging and the eighth dan of the Naosaka Kuranosuke, right?"

"Yes, the fourth dan of the bamboo knife is a chess player who only began to show his prominence last year, he is still very young, only 17 years old, and his opponent Naosaka Badan is also a very powerful old chess player, in a semi-retired state, 55 years old this year, after winning this championship, the fourth dan of the bamboo knife has been able to rise several dan to the right."

In the field of professional chess players, the number before the rank represents more honor, rather than hard power, as far as Ke Zhiguang's own impression of his previous life is concerned, many unknown young players in the third or fourth dan have defeated many strong opponents in one fell swoop, won the championship, and rose straight to the ninth dan deeds.

Young people rely on this sharpness and the advantages of new faces, such as others don't know him, and they don't have to bear too much pressure.

"Wait a minute, there are obviously no names on this big chessboard, how do you know that this is yesterday's game?" Mizuki suddenly realized this problem.

"Didn't you say it, I watched this game yesterday."

"No, no, no, I mean—you just watched yesterday's game of chess and recognized the game on it, it was yesterday?"

"yes, isn't that logical?" Ke Zhiguang turned his head in surprise to look at the sunset moon in the water city beside him.

He thinks this logic is normal, just like a normal person who accidentally sees a beautiful female star on TV, and most of them can recognize her at a glance in reality.

"This ....."

The moon in the water city couldn't say a word for a long time.

This kind of thing is not a beautiful female star, the kind that happens to meet a hug the day before and can remember it clearly the next day.

In the field of Go, even a person who has been learning chess for a whole year may not be able to perfectly review a game that was played just an hour before.

There are many excellent professional chess players who can remember the correct order of a game many years ago, but experiments have proved that their memory is actually average, but they remember Go very accurately.

"Report, Mr. Cangqiao's chess game is wrong, and he has one less lever in the lower left corner." Ke Zhiguang looked at the chessboard on the podium in the distance and said, finding that the chess game was different from his memory.

"Is it wrong?" Shuicheng Xiyue was stunned for a moment, she didn't notice anything wrong with the chess game on the big chessboard.

Although she also watched yesterday's game of chess, her memory only stayed on some vague local battles, and this kind of small corner ghost remembered it so clearly.

Soon, Mr. Cangqiao, who was lecturing on the podium, also found that he had missed two moves, and went back to make up for it.

Sometimes, when explaining the chess game, you get too involved in a local change, and you do forget some small things on the board.

"Then it's rushing, breaking, robbing, and ......making up for it," Ke Zhiguang continued to whisper, matching the chessboard in the distance with the chess game in his memory step by step.

Every time he said a move, he really took a step on the chessboard, as if some mysterious force was manipulating.

Shuicheng Xiyue listened to Ke Zhiguang's every step of the accurate review, and his expression became more and more speechless.

Next to her..... What kind of monster is standing there?

"Climb, press, wrench, pull ......, this is the last hand, Naosaka Kuranosuke eight dan throw admitted." Ke Zhiguang said that the chessboard on the podium also stopped reviewing.
