Yang Zheng won.

But he wasn't happy.

Because he felt that young people were becoming less and less resilient nowadays, he also thought that he had met an opponent worthy of attention.

But the other side's practice of giving up halfway made him feel a little disappointed.

As he sat on the sidelines and watched the next game, he suddenly thought that perhaps the reason for his disappointment was that he was too stupid.

In this fast-paced society, one's own persistence has probably become synonymous with stupidity.

But he also felt that in this era, there must be a few "stupid people", after all, in this world, smart people are always a minority, and most people are stupid people like him.

These stupid people may not be able to create the peak of the world, but they can use their meager strength to "accumulate a lot" to silently push the whole world forward.

What about stupid people?

This era is not only an era that only remembers geniuses, but also the moments when every ordinary person shines is more worthy of being remembered.

……

Zhao Jinlan's game began, his face was very gloomy, not only him, but his opponent also had an incomprehensible look on his face.

They all seemed to be immersed in the game they had just played.

After all, the game of chess between Yang Zheng and Xiao Fei just now has raised this amateur game to a real professional level.

Especially Yang Zheng, who is the protagonist, his chess power has surpassed all the players too much.

Even if both of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, facing Yang Zheng, they seem to have lost their determination to win.

Even in the face of Xiao Fei, who was slightly inferior to Yang Zheng, they were not confident that they could defeat him 100%.

This also led to the mediocrity of this game of chess, whether it was Zhao Jinlan, or as an opponent, Wang Xiyang, who studied under the well-known first-class chess player Yang Ghost Hand, all tried their best to lose in this game of chess.

Everyone read that right, the two of them are seeking to lose in this game of chess.

Compared with today's elimination system, the Muzi Cup adopts a winning point system for seeded players, even if they lose a handful, they will not be eliminated directly, but they also have to play two more games today.

Instead of facing the invincible Yang Zheng, they might as well take the initiative to seek defeat in this game and directly face the two weak opponents.

In this way, it not only saves time, but also saves effort.

(Of course, this winning point system appeared many years ago, and it was used for a long time, until a certain competition, when the final ranking of the champion and runner-up was decided, which had to be decided by the winner of the third and fourth place matches, and was slightly modified.) ）

I have to say that although Zhao Jinlan and Wang Xiyang are not very old, they are both very smart.

Not only do they know how to "stop loss in time" and "exploit loopholes", but these two are at a similar level, both of them can magically figure out each other's ideas, and both of them have some backgrounds.

This also leads to this game of chess, which becomes extremely intriguing.

Except for a few people with advanced chess skills who can see the two of them seeking defeat, most chess friends feel that these two children, with average strength, are desperately changing moves.

This kind of behavior also made Li Tiandao rationally draw out the competition list of his peers in his heart to Zhao Jinlan, who originally thought that he was the strongest opponent of his peers.

For him, a chess player who does not dare to challenge the strong is not worthy of being his future opponent.

But he will also think that if his next opponent meets Yang Zheng, then what will he choose?

He looked at Dongdong, who was trying to play a "meaningless" game on the commentary podium, and he clenched his fists.

Of course, it has to be fearless!

Yang Zheng also watched the game on the stage, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

He could see that Zhao Jinlan, a young man, had half a professional rank higher than Wang Xiyang's chess strength.

But Wang Xiyang, because of the strange layout, forcibly pulled this gap back.

Whether it is Wang Xiyang or Zhao Jinlan, they are much stronger than Dongdong.

They can also be said to be young talents, but they are so smart, so smart that they believe in data and "sight" so much that they forget to believe in their own limits.

This is also a common problem of many chess players nowadays, and it is also the dereliction of duty of many educational institutions.

When all educational institutions use cold win rate numbers and big data analysis without temperature as the only standard for judging whether a chess player is good or bad.

Then this so-called "popular" and "efficient" judgment basis will only kill the future of individual chess players.

Every chess player is in good shape, and when he is in bad form, every chess player will also make different choices when facing a desperate situation.

A good educational institution should teach chess players that they should not give up until the last minute.

It is also necessary to teach the chess players to think after failure, to think about how to improve, how to improve or catch up.

Rather than teaching children to choose the "best" route.

Of course, this is also what Yang Zheng thinks.

This era has never been something he can control.

……

Xiao Fei was lying on the chair, he looked at the sky above, thinking about the failure just now, he felt an inexplicable shame.

He never thought he would admit defeat in the middle of the game, and he never imagined that his heart would be so fragile.

Even the breeze of Xi Xi blew on his face, and he felt painful and hot, but fortunately, he finally reined in the precipice and finished the game of chess seriously, otherwise he would not be lying on the chair so leisurely now.

He suddenly thanked Yang Zheng, because Yang Zheng not only taught him the simple truth of never giving up until the last moment, but he also told himself that the success or failure of life is not just in an instant.

He also seems to have finally understood that the success or failure of life is in every minute and every second after failure after failure.

He began to be grateful, grateful for his miserable childhood, and grateful that he had gone "astray" before.

If he hadn't gone astray, how could he have met a mentor like Witte who was willing to teach him carefully when he was the most confused in his life? If he hadn't gone astray, how could he have met a respectable opponent like Yang Zheng?

We must be grateful in life.

Because regret never solves anything.

Time will not go back, spring goes to summer, autumn falls and winter solstice, every minute and second of life will not stay for a moment because of your pity, your regret, and your helplessness.

Life will only be willing to applaud you because of your hard work, your diligent thinking, your progress again and again, and your recklessness!

Xiao Fei sat up, and he suddenly felt the wind hitting his face, and it didn't burn or hurt anymore.

He looked up at the sky and muttered.

"Next time, I won't lose again."
