Sure enough, everything was as Qian Xi predicted, and today's game turned out to be not a knockout round, but a five-person round-robin.

When Dongdong heard the organizer announce this competition system, she couldn't help but admire Qian Xi a little in her heart, obviously she was only a few years older than herself, but she saw it more thoroughly than herself in many aspects.

In fact, round-robin matches do not necessarily guarantee absolute fairness of the game.

In many cases, round-robin matches have artificially manipulated and other decisive factors that affect the game than knockout roundouts.

After all, everyone will be more or less affected by the strength of the venue, their own physical strength, opponents and other factors.

But at present, the round-robin elimination system is also the best format for selecting the really strong players in this game.

This group of teenage children is also the most energetic age.

It's also the age when I want to show myself the most.

The round-robin tournament adopts a single-round robin method, that is, a round-robin match is randomly arranged and combined, and is broadcast sequentially on three TV stations and one live broadcast platform.

Although the draw results were random, in fact, Dongdong and Qian Xi were considered by many to be the two with the lowest chess strength in today's game.

But it "happened" to be the two strongest in the game in the first game.

Qian Xi's first opponent was Sun Pojun, a popular champion from the island country, he looked at Qian Xi with an indifferent face, and he couldn't help frowning for the first time.

He probably saw through the fairness of what the Chess Association said, compared to the cruel games he experienced in the island country since he was a child, the chess games in China revealed more of the word "hypocrisy".

However, he gladly accepted.

Because, he remembered what his grandfather said to him yesterday, that is, Huaxia chess is no longer the chess game that caused headaches and chills in Asian countries before.

The current Chinese chess is not only full of copper smell, but also full of human sophistication.

Especially when it comes to dealing with foreign challengers, the Chinese chess community always has an attitude of being the best in the world to despise opponents.

But it is precisely because of this contempt that Chinese chess has repeatedly overturned in international competitions, and finally became the laughing stock of many countries.

Moreover, with a large number of young people in China investing in the new sport of e-sports, the Chinese chess industry is obviously a little young.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an internal and external trouble.

Lao Sun, that is, Sun Pojun's grandfather, also saw through today's game in advance that it was a round-robin system to calculate points. And he also boldly guessed that Sun Pojun's first opponent was either Dongdong or Qian Xi.

Lao Sun was obviously right, he sat in the audience, looking at his grandson's first opponent, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mocking sneer.

It seems that the Chinese chess class is terminally ill.

Although there are still some masters of Chinese chess to support the face of Chinese chess, decades and hundreds of years have passed.

Chinese chess, maybe it doesn't belong to China.

"Come on!" Dongdong looked at Qian Xi, who played before her, and she waved her little fist to cheer her on.

She didn't know why, she believed what Qian Xi said, and she inexplicably had confidence in her.

But Qian Xide's face showed a flash of embarrassment.

She wondered if she should win, or should she deliberately lose to her opponent?

……

Lao Zhou also sat in the audience, his cloudy eyes accurately captured the embarrassment that flashed on Qian Xi's face.

He seemed to be thoughtful, and the Wine Sword Immortal sitting beside him also seemed to see this difficulty.

"You, apprentice, what should you say about your heart?" Lao Zhou was silent for a moment, but still spit out this sentence.

He knows very well what Qian Xi is thinking now, and she also knows very well that Qian Xi probably has enough confidence to win Sun Pojun.

But he knows better that the girl named Qian Xi on the stage has a heart that he doesn't know how to describe.

Indeed, as he thought.

Qian Xi is a rare genius girl in a century, just looking at her indifferent temperament, you know that she has definitely experienced a past that ordinary people have not experienced.

Thinking about her yesterday in the noisy venue, she quietly finished a game of chess, and it can be said that her heart is definitely higher than that of most of the professional chess players present.

But the look of embarrassment in her eyes seems to show that she is a player who doesn't want to be in the limelight and doesn't want to do her best.

She probably wants to be a chess hermit like Lao Zhou.

But she is different from Lao Zhou, she is very contradictory and can't give up many things in the world.

Jiu Jian Immortal also seemed to hear what was hidden in Lao Zhou's words, and he also said with a rare sigh: "Although my apprentice has good chess skills and talent is rare in a hundred years, she does not have the sense of responsibility of our generation at the beginning. ”

Lao Zhou smiled bitterly after hearing this, he knew very well that not only Qian Xi, but also many contemporary young people and young people now, have lost their original appearance in this materialistic world, and also lost the responsibility that should accompany everyone in their lives.

You... Do you remember what your childhood dreams were?

Do you remember what you thought you should be pursuing in your life's career and what your life goals were?

Do you remember what you thought your ideal for the future was?

Not many people seem to remember.

Because in this world, it seems that there should be no dreams and ideals, nor should there be goals and a sense of responsibility.

After all, most people's ideals come from a certain profession that they aspired to before, some respectable person. Suddenly it became the so-called ideal of making a lot of money, the so-called living a good life, and the so-called rich businessman.

After all, people often say that the world laughs at poverty and not at prostitution.

But if the world is really like what people say about laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitute.

Except for businessmen, entrepreneurs, financiers, and capitalists, there should be no ideals or aspirations in this world.

But the world is not what everyone thinks it is.

He is not only tolerant, but also always scattered all kinds of ideals in the corner.

Sometimes, the loneliness of a culture is not because there is no successor, let alone because the times are developing too fast.

It's because young people have less faith, less ideals, and less responsibility.

"She always thinks that if she is too showy, she will take on too much responsibility."

"This is not to blame her, because her father, who was the captain of a fire brigade, in a fire, in order to save the young team members, he watched the monstrous fire rush away, and finally ended up dying heroically."

"Because of this, she should have been more dazzling than Peng Fei, but she endured it for three whole years before she was qualified as a professional player."

"This qualifying tournament is also because of me, so she participated in it!"
