16 World Series

Dreams never fade with age, and even death cannot end the dreams of a person or even a group of people.

Although this sentence is the second in middle school, it is Yang Zheng's perception after going to Xijing Nursing Home.

He not only met the chess maniac, but also the old people who selflessly shared the chess game with the chess maniac, in their eyes, the chess maniac is not only not crazy or stupid, but he is very worthy of respect.

At least, he has been chasing dreams all his life.

Ten days later, the competition in Xijing Nursing Home finally began, after three days of competition, the final winner was actually the previous quite fantasy "martial saint", his chess is very distinctive, not only full of strategy, but also excellent ornamentation.

Yang Zheng's company also relied on Wu Sheng's games, and it gained some popularity on the Internet.

Unfortunately, not all nursing homes have the chess power of Xijing nursing homes. Many elderly people in nursing homes have most of their chess strength from the strength of the old man on the street, although there are a few tricks, but on the whole, it is far less exciting than in the professional arena.

Fortunately, Yang Zheng had a flash of inspiration and changed his strategy in time, no longer playing chess live but discovering the stories of these old people and chess itself, which has steadily attracted many young Internet fans who love to read stories.

Compared with Yang Zheng's company, Tiantian Chess has always been on the cusp.

With more and more doubtful voices, coupled with the incident of Tiantian Chess being exposed to unpaid wages, Tiantian Chess, a company that was once known as the overlord of online chess, has slowly lost its "network trust".

The rich second generation is very smart, and he is also good at using the word "drag", in his eyes, many people on the Internet do not use the company's news, and they can use time to make netizens slowly forget.

But he seems to underestimate the Internet, because no matter what happens, as long as it happens, it will leave traces on the Internet.

Yang Zheng's company is very smart, they are like an outsider, they don't deliberately take advantage of this heat to step on a foot in chess every day, but concentrate on doing their own thing.

Because of this, many people have a good impression of Yang Zheng's company.

Time passed in a hurry, and when all netizens thought that chess would not be able to hold on every day.

The Xiangqi Association actually invested 50 million in Tiantian Chess, and his reason was that the Xiangqi Association would launch a world-class chess tournament in two months.

This news can be said to be very explosive.

For many chess veterans, the last world-class Chinese chess tournament was more than 20 years ago, and that world-class Chinese chess tournament was a disaster.

First, because Chinese chess at that time did not completely enter the "international market", which also led to the fact that chess was the mainstream in the international mainstream chess market, which led to the fact that there were not many countries participating in the competition at that time, only five or six countries.

Second, because Chinese chess at that time did not completely enter the foreign market, many foreign friends who were willing to come to participate in the competition were mostly only participating in the award, and the top 20 were basically all Chinese.

Time flies, more than 20 years have passed, although Chinese chess is still not as well-known as chess, but there are more and more foreigners who are willing to specialize in Chinese chess, and even in the eight-nation exchange tournament a few years ago, foreign chess players are not inferior to Chinese local chess players.

Especially after the advent of artificial intelligence, the gap between the top chess players is getting smaller and smaller.

Especially in Europe, many retired chess players will choose to continue to play Chinese chess and continue to compete in small foreign arenas.

One of the most famous is probably a chess player named Sig, he is 57 years old this year, his best result is the world runner-up in chess, in his last time he hit the world chess championship, he was defeated by a chess player from China, and the 20-year-old chess player became a friend of the chess player, under his influence he began to learn Chinese chess.

When he was fifty-three years old, he came to China and played five games against Wang Zichang, the "Red Monster", one of the top ten professional chess masters in the professional chess world at that time, and won the final victory.

It is rumored that Sig's current chess strength can also be ranked in the top five in Huaxia.

In addition, there is no shortage of masters among overseas Chinese who have emigrated abroad, such as Sun Pojun, who once made a great success in the professional chess player assessment, and can only be regarded as the third among his peers in the island country, and the first chess player is a seventeen-year-old chess player who switched from shogi in the island country to Chinese chess. According to the assessment of the media of the island country, this kid's chess strength is almost at the level of a local chess master in China, and his teacher is a well-known chess master who has immigrants, and among his students, the best chess player has surpassed himself.

Not to mention the chess players of Nanyue, as a country with an average economy around China, chess is a way to change the fate of many ordinary people in Nanyue, and in the past ten years, they have also produced many masters like Aji.

It can be said that this competition will definitely be more exciting and interesting than it was twenty years ago.

For this competition, the Xiangqi Association not only invested 50 million yuan in Chess every day, but also divided the competition into four levels, namely professional competition level, amateur competition level, under 20 years old, and over 60 years old.

In these four levels, the reward for the champion is 2 million Chinese coins, which can be said to be the largest prize money in a Chinese chess tournament.

In order to facilitate the participation of foreign friends, the Chess Association also plans to reimburse foreign friends for air tickets and hotel meals.

It can be said that he encourages international friends to participate, not only that, but he has relaxed the conditions for the professional chess player test of foreign friends, as long as he gets the top ten in a well-known event, he can apply to become a professional chess player, and according to the competition data, the highest can directly apply for the rank of chess master.

I thought that relaxing the countermeasures for professional chess players would cause a shock in the professional chess world.

However, to everyone's surprise, almost all high-ranking professional chess players did not express opposition, on the contrary, they were very supportive of the relaxation of foreign professional chess players.

Many senior chess media people have expressed their opinions, believing that this is a countermeasure for Chinese chess to go global.

There are also many parents who want their children to become Jackie Chan, thinking about whether this countermeasure can help their children.

There is certainly no shortage of conspiracy theorists in the media, who have linked this response to the recent state of affairs in Chess.

Under the conjecture of their conspiracy theories, this is a manifestation of Aiko's heart, and under their conspiracy theories, the rich second generation has once again become the laughing stock of many people.

However, Yang Zheng knows that the relaxation of this kind of countermeasure is not because of his love for his son, but because the Chess Association has to do it, and as for the reason, in addition to going to the world, it is more because of a foreign company G.
