Brother Yang Zi also introduced other well-known amateur chess players in Beijing by the way, under his colorful description, all the amateur chess players in the Beijing circle have the strength of professional chess, and many amateur chess players have the strength of no less than chess masters.

But Brother Yangzi's words attracted the objection of an amateur chess friend on the side.

This amateur chess player is also a little famous in Beijing, he is not yet thirty years old, but his chess style is brisk, the winning rate is extremely high, and he is quite ornamental, so he is called a scalpel by many amateur chess players.

And the reason why the scalpel is dissatisfied is not because Brother Yang Zi did not mention him, on the contrary, Brother Yang Zi still has a high opinion of him.

It is precisely because Brother Yang Zi's evaluation is too high that the scalpel will take the initiative to join the topic and describe to Yang Zheng the amateur chess circle that really goes to Beijing.

Or more strictly speaking, as an amateur chess player who has been in the amateur chess world for nearly ten years, he knows the national circle of amateur chess players very well.

Due to the large base of Chinese chess, there are many top amateur chess players in the country. However, there are still very few who can reach the level of chess masters, and Shangjing is one of the top few metropolises in the country, and the level of amateur chess players is also among the top ten in the country. And in the entire amateur circle in Beijing, there are only three or five people who can reach the strength of chess masters, how can there be so many as Brother Yang Zi said.

Yang Zheng listened carefully to the scalpel's words, and also realized in his heart, it is indeed as the scalpel said, as far as the amateur chess players he has come into contact with, although the strength is not bad, but compared with some old chess masters, there is still a lot of gap, and the gap here refers more to the mentality and battle experience.

After all, Huaxia chess is easy to play, and if you are willing to spend time, the gap in chess strength and computing power can be made up, but in terms of games, it is more of a game of psychology and thought.

For example, Li Sansi, a lover of Shenlu chess, is also the top among professional chess players in terms of computing power, but his psychological quality is so poor that he participated in two professional chess player assessments, but he was eliminated because of his poor psychological quality.

And the blame old man, not to mention, before becoming a professional chess player, met those young people who were good at using the word "drag", the winning rate was only half and half, and after becoming a professional chess player, he was shaved by a hairy boy in his early twenties for three consecutive games, resulting in now he can only rely on the fame of the Internet to receive some low-quality commercial performances.

It can be seen that it is too difficult for amateur chess players to reach the strength of chess masters.

Brother Yang Zi also listened carefully to the analysis of the scalpel, maybe it was his age or something, he didn't agree with the analysis of the scalpel.

After all, according to the cognition of the eldest brother, Huaxia is rich and rich, and there are many talented people, and the masters are not in the chess world, but in the people.

Because of this, the theoretical disagreement between the two also led to the unhappy breakup of this small talk.

What even Yang Zheng didn't expect was that in the rematch the next day, there was really a master of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on the scene.

This master not only has the chess strength, strategy, psychological warfare, and even the game, as well as the control of the opponent, which surpasses the vast majority of professional chess players.

And this master of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, named Xie Zhongzhong, is a little-known little person.

……

Xie Zhongzhong, he is 57 years old and a farmer by profession.

He was born in a rural area on the outskirts of Shangjing, and it is difficult to imagine that the bustling city of Shangjing has not only rural areas, but also agricultural land.

And Xie Zhongzhong's grandfather was a farmer, and his parents were also farmers, and in his generation, he had the opportunity to leave the countryside and move to the city, but because of the reluctant family field, he finally became a glorious farmer uncle.

He has been farming for half his life, and he usually doesn't have many hobbies other than farming, so he only plays chess.

His chess skills are very good, he plays invincible players all over the village, and he usually likes to delve into everything about chess on TV and ancient books.

But such a chess enthusiast with a certain amount of chess ability has never participated in any large-scale chess tournament.

He doesn't seem to be utilitarian, he doesn't care much about winning or losing, he cares about playing with friends.

He has a lot of farmer friends like him, and he only accompanied his friends in this competition.

But his friends were almost wiped out in the retest, and only he was left.

This also made Xie Zhongzhong a little puzzled, obviously his friend was about the same as his chess strength, but when he arrived at the court, he was like a soft-footed shrimp, and he was sweating profusely because he was too nervous in the middle game.

And he won't, because he knows that his chess skills seem to be average, and he doesn't expect to win the championship and get a million prize money.

After all, in his heart, the money earned in a down-to-earth manner is spent with peace of mind.

And the prize money of the competition is more like an opportunistic trick in Xie Zhongzhong's eyes.

But what also made him wonder was that whether it was the preliminary round or the semi-finals, the opponents he met were not of much high standard.

He will only use the first cannon on Red's opening, and Black's Immortal to guide the way at the beginning, while his opponent will obviously start with a variety of games.

Either the red side has the advantage of jumping off the horse, or the arch of the pawn, this strange start makes Xie Zhongzhong can't help but ask which ancient book this kind of opening is.

But hearing them say that this is the beginning of the game they learned from artificial intelligence, this also makes Xie Zhongzhong full of doubts, because he thinks that the opponents should know that compared to these strange openings, the winning rate of the first shot should be the highest in the development of chess for thousands of years.

As for the artificial intelligence that they often hang in their mouths, Xie Zhongzhong has also heard of it, and is known as the most perfect opponent that cannot be surpassed, and it is said that he has won several of the top professional players in Go in the past few years.

But he felt that even if everyone thought it was the most perfect opponent, it must not be perfect.

There are no perfect people or things in this world, this is what his father told him, no matter how perfect people or things look like, they must have another side that no one knows.

Although this sentence sounds a little rough, it is also his father's life experience, so he also keeps this sentence firmly in his heart, and in the past few decades, he has slowly verified the right and wrong of his father's sentence.

He also slowly discovered that there is no perfection in this world.

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say this to his opponent, his honest and honest nature made him very silent, and his love of learning everything about chess also made him slowly remember everything about artificial intelligence in these games.

As Xie Zhongzhong's win rate grew, he also began to contact other opponents with the same high win rate as him.

Some of these opponents should be famous, because the cameras in the arena have been focused on them since they appeared.

But they don't seem to have too strong chess power, at least for Xie Zhongzhong, there is not much pressure to defeat them.

Among them was a chess player who was called an old monster by the onlookers, he was very fast, and his thinking was very quick and clear compared to his old friends in the village, which also made his game not only fast but also full of aggression.

But in a game of chess, or in life, the speed of form is not the fastest. On the contrary, the fastest is the simple and simple three words, and those three words are "take your time".
