Who can be today's champion doesn't seem to matter to many viewers.

But for today's diverse judges, whoever becomes the champion in the end will decide the next year, and the academy behind them will recruit more students.

It's also strange to say, obviously the protagonists of this game are a group of half-grown children, but in today's increasingly popular chess, the protagonists of this game suddenly become confusing again.

Li Tiandao felt the pressure for the first time, he came to the competition venue early, but he was not in a hurry to enter, but sat in the shade of the tree in a quiet daze.

Yue Jianping also came early, he looked at his friend and he didn't say anything, he just sat quietly beside him. Silently waiting for the admission time.

These two half-grown children, watching people come and go, inexplicably felt a burst of melancholy at the same time.

The experience of these years is like a dream.

They have witnessed the rise of the chess industry driven by the Internet, and they have also experienced this era firsthand.

But the more they experience it, the more confused they become.

The chess pieces that could once be touched, warm, and perceptual, as well as the square chessboard, have now become nets, trapping them, and also trapping many people who are chasing the surface of chess.

They like chess, but they don't like chess now.

After all, today's chess not only represents value, but also represents what the tide is, that is, it does not represent the fair and just competition principle of chess itself.

In the past six months, there have been frequent news in the chess world that some professional chess players have overturned and cheated.

The friends who used to be good friends with them, in this fast-paced era, have forgotten their original intentions, and they seem to play chess just to win.

And those old chess players they used to admire, I don't know what is crazy, no longer approachable, but a little "dislike the poor and love the rich", no longer treat those ordinary people who are full of love for chess as usual, but keep playing against computers, trying to create some new history that has nothing to do with the essence of chess in the eyes of others.

Thinking back to the years when they grew up, all kinds of strange things were born, and those things were stuffed into everyone's mobile phones with a smile under the banner of convenience for life.

But in fact, when people get used to them, they show their fangs that have been hidden for a long time, showing their wolf ambition to not only facilitate the lifestyle of ordinary people, but also to change the fate of ordinary people.

More and more frequent festivals, as well as more and more distorted values, slowly erode the yearning for a better world in the hearts of generations of young people.

Many things are clearly known to be wrong, but today's people, whether they are young, old, young, or men, women can't escape the end of silent acceptance.

They did not dare to resist and could not resist.

After all, after getting used to those so-called conveniences, everyone has layers of invisible nets.

Those big nets not only netted people's present, they also wanted to nett people's future.

Under the constraints of this net, people can still see the sun, but most people see the sunlight far less desirable than when they were children.

Yue Jianping's remarks yesterday originally meant that Jiang Bingbing, an old opponent, would not be trapped in his own net and learn to face up to all his opponents.

But his remarks were over-embellished by many self-media people, causing an uproar on the Internet.

Countless people think that Yue Jianping is fake and compassionate, and countless people use the success and defeat of the king in reality to tell the rights and wrongs of Yue Jianping's game of chess yesterday.

As for the core theory of speech, it may not be important in this day and age.

Yue Jianping inexplicably felt a little sad.

He couldn't figure out if he was in the limelight yesterday or if he was really angry.

But he also knew that it would probably be difficult for Jiang Bingbing and him to become friends.

He was born at the grassroots, and naturally his values are different from Jiang Bingbing, the eldest lady who was born with a golden key.

But he wanted to do something across the class of birth.

Of course, he also understands that it is stupid to do this, so stupid that as long as he remembers the past yesterday, he will be as helpless as he is now.

He probably didn't change anything in the end.

He looked at the crowd and felt the breeze around him.

He suddenly mustered up the courage to say to Li Tiandao: "Do you think we can change this era with our blood?" ”

Li Tiandao touched his hair, he was a little surprised by this best friend's question, but he looked at Yue Jianping, who was embarrassed, and he seemed to understand his best friend's thoughts.

He was still lying on the grass, but his face was no longer flat, but he said to Yue Jianping seriously: "I don't know if we can change this era, but what I do know is that we can change ourselves, and we can change the world by changing our own way to change this era." ”

"Your answer is too official." Yue Jianping laughed when he heard this kind of answer that only existed in elementary school classrooms.

"I think if we always change our way to cater to the world, then one day when we are old, we can't change. So will we be eliminated from this world? ”

"You see that most of the old people who are old now are sitting on the side of the street, looking at this fast-growing world with numb eyes, calculating the few years they have left, you... Do you want to become them when you get old? ”

Li Tiandao thought for a while: "I don't want to become them. ”

Yue Jianping looked at the sky and said thoughtfully, "I don't want to either." ”

The two fell silent again.

"But we're not going to be them, are we?" Li Tiandao sat up, he also looked at the sky and said, "When we are old, can't we also sit at a small table on the side of the road and play chess with three or five old friends?" ”

Yue Jianping listened to this answer, and he said slowly: "Do you think that in the future, this era will give us the opportunity to set up a small table on the side of the street and watch the young people passing by while playing chess?" ”

Li Tiandao picked his nose: "Of course there is." ”

"Isn't what we're doing now so that in the future, everyone will have the opportunity to set up a small table on the side of the street and play chess leisurely?"

Li Tiandao's words were like a bright light, illuminating Yue Jianping, who was confused and confused.

He repeated Li Tiandao's words, and he laughed again.

"Yes, isn't what we are doing now so that when we are old and can't cater to the world, the world will change to cater to us?"

"Then do you regret what you said yesterday?" Li Tiandao patted his best friend's shoulder and asked Yue Jianping such a question.

However, Yue Jianping's answer did not disappoint Li Tiandao.

"At least, I don't regret who I was yesterday!"
