Chapter Seventy-Two: The Chess Academy

Rosin Academy is located in the west of Gusu City, not far from Puming Temple, a few hundred meters to the south.

When Chen Fan and the others arrived, it was almost noon, because after renting a car, they first went to Lu Xian's house, but Lu Xian was not there, and then rushed to the college, delaying a little time, but fortunately, the road was quite smooth, and there was no traffic jam in modern times, and it was not too late.

The entrance of Rosin Academy, unlike the situation of Zhenwuguan, although it was almost noon, it was still full of people coming and going, and the crowd was bustling, which finally made Chen Fan feel the busy scene of enrollment in modern society.

"May I ask where is Dean Xialu?" Chen Fan caught a person who looked like a teacher and asked.

"Dean Lu is in the Chess Academy, you go over from this side and follow the road on the right to get there."

"Okay, thank you." Chen Fan decided to find Dean Lu first, after all, he didn't know how to sign up, whether to sign up or not, or find Dean Lu and ask.

"Fa Sheng, why are you here?" Chen Fan hadn't reached the chess courtyard yet, but he ran into Lu Zifeng on the road.

"Brother Lu." Chen Fan went up and shouted affectionately, it's good to meet an acquaintance! "I came to Dean Lu and wanted to ask if I had to register first?"

"Probably not, whichever class you want to attend, you can just go in and listen to it. Last time in the Plum Garden, several masters from the chess academy were actually there, maybe you didn't pay attention, but the masters noticed you. Dean Lu is in the chess academy, let me take you over and see what he says. Lu Zifeng said enthusiastically.

"Okay, thank you Brother Lu. This is my cousin Xiao Qing, that is his master, Master Huang, they also want to see this rosin academy, so they came over together. ”

"This is Dean Lu's nephew, Lu Zifeng." When I met just now, I didn't have time to introduce the people around me, but now I followed Lu Zifeng to Dean Lu, and I naturally wanted to introduce it when I had time. Hou Feng and Lu Zifeng have seen it several times, but Chen Fan didn't introduce it again. The two sides said goodbye to each other, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.

"Fa Sheng, you're here." Lu Yan saw Lu Zifeng lead Chen Fan into the hall of the chess academy and walked over.

"Yes, Master, the new students of the Taoist Temple have registered today, and I think there should be new students registered on Master's side, so after the registration, I will come over there to see if I need help?"

"Fa Sheng has a heart, you came just in time, this freshman's chess skills teaching is served by Chang Hai Chang Fuzi, Chang Fuzi's five-grade chess strength, although the chess strength may be weaker than you, but the basic theoretical knowledge is solid, if you want to listen to the theory, you can go to listen to his class, I will take you to meet him."

"Okay, thank you, Master." Chen Fan followed Lu Yan to see Chang Hai, Lu Zifeng greeted Chen Fan and went to work.

Xiao Qing and the others arrived at the gate of the chess courtyard, they didn't come in, they were strolling around at the door, and at this time they happened to meet Lu Yan and Chen Fan, and several people did not avoid it, they nodded to Lu Yan and said hello, Chen Fan said in a timely manner: "Master, this is Master Huang and his student Xiao Qing, last time in the old attic restaurant, we had dinner with Yajun together, I don't know if Master still has an impression?" ”

Lu Yan said: "I have the impression that your eldest brother was also there at that time. ”

"Yes, this time they also wanted to take a look at the academy, so they came with me."

"Okay, welcome to our academy, and have a meal here at noon."

"Okay, then Master Chang shouted together, just find a restaurant nearby, you can have a drink." Chen Fan was thinking about how to get closer to Master Chang, and he was right in the middle of Lu Yan's proposal.

"Okay, you're a guest today, and when you come to me, I'll arrange it."

"Okay, listen to Master." Chen Fan didn't refuse, and added in his heart, "Master arranged, I'll pay for it." "The money is still out of my own, there are four people here, and I originally had to eat lunch, and there are not many masters and Chang Fuzi.

"Let's go, then let's go to Chang Haina together, he is the chess teacher of this freshman, Zhang Luo is at the freshman registration office today, and I and the Fa student are about to go over." Lu Yan said to Huang Shi, Xiao Qing and others.

"Okay, let's go with the dean." Huang Shi answered.

Lu Yan led everyone to the freshman registration office, and now it is almost noon, and there are not many people at the registration office, especially the chess skills registration office.

"Master Chang, are you still busy? Are there many new students learning chess this year? In front of the booth in the registration office, an elderly student was sitting, collecting materials, and next to him stood a thin scribe in his thirties, with a bun on his head and a scribe's robe, Lu Xianzheng was talking to this scribe.

"Fortunately, this year is more than usual, and there are more than 60 people now."

"That's good, I want to come to this national chess tournament, which has played a positive role in the promotion of our chess skills. This is my newly accepted disciple Chen Fasheng, you saw it in the Plum Garden last time, and I want to come to the chess academy to listen to the class in the future, and I hope that Master Chang will take care of it more. ”

"No problem, the performance of the Fa student in the Plum Garden last time left a deep impression on us, and now since he is a disciple of Dean Lu, that is, a member of our chess academy, welcome to our chess academy to listen to the class." Master Chang readily agreed.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Fan bowed,

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and we'll talk while eating." Lu Jian took over and said.

Crispy Aroma is just a short distance from Rosin College and is famous for its deep-fried crispy bones with cinoli. The decoration of the small shop is simple, but it is elegant, probably due to the registration of new students, the restaurant business is booming, fortunately, Dean Lu is more familiar with the boss, and got a private room, Chen Fan and others are eating the special dishes of the small shop inside, chatting.

"This year's freshmen have a name Huang Hao, born in the Gusu Huang family, his grandfather once served as Guangluqing, and his father is now a doctor of Wupin, his article is quite good, but unfortunately he is not interested in learning chess, and he has applied for the Qingtan interest group of the Department of Economics, and he can pay more attention to this person in the future, and his poetry and poetry are also accomplished, you can communicate more." Huang Shi mentioned.

"Thank you Master Chang, I'll pay attention to him." At the age of fifteen years old in this society, it is time to think about the future path of life, and Chen Fan is also very willing to make more friends and help each other. But what I think about is not whether we can support each other in the future, but the key to come, and when I enter the society to make friends, I may consider whether I can support each other, but Chen Fan is not willing to think so far when he goes to school, and he finally lives again, so he naturally wants to live as easily as possible, and he will talk about it later in the future, now the key is to look at the feelings and find friends who can treat people sincerely, but for the kindness of Master Chang, Chen Fan still understands it.

"Well, the law student came to the chess academy, I don't know what I want to learn? If there is a class that the Dharma students want to attend, we can also inform the Dharma students in advance so that you can come and listen to it. Perhaps seeing that Chen Fan was a little perfunctory, Master Chang changed the topic.

"Thank you Master Chang, I haven't systematically learned the theoretical knowledge of Go, so I usually think blindly, the level is unstable, when the chess is good, the chess strength is high, and when the game is bad, the chess strength is low, so I have to make up for the theoretical knowledge and stabilize the chess strength at a level." Chen Fan is still very clear about his shortcomings in Go, that is, he has not visited the teacher, he has listened to the teacher's special guidance, in some Go formulas, he only knows what it is, but he does not know why, he has not calmed down to study why he goes this way, what are the pros and cons, this is the defect of not learning from the teacher, Chen Fan decided to ask the teacher for guidance first, and make up for his basic skills, fortunately, he has the help of "inheritance", and he can copy the chess score he memorizes in the later stage to understand, but in the early stage, through the apprenticeship, A comprehensive understanding of Go in this society is still necessary in Chen Fan's view.

"If you want to win Go, as far as I am concerned, the most important thing is to rely on the game, remember the advantages and disadvantages of each hand in the game, choose the best hand is the key, rely on the game to accumulate experience, this is an indispensable process for every chess player, and the theoretical knowledge of Go that you said is just to teach you how to play chess, you will already know these students, you don't need to listen."

Chen Fan suddenly realized that what he thought of as theoretical knowledge was not the same thing as what Chang Hai understood. Now that I think about it, his original idea was wrong, in this society, printing technology has not yet appeared, not to mention how many Go games there are, he ignored the fact that the style of Go was also gradually developed later, and it was only in the Song Dynasty that the "Thirteen Articles of the Book of Chess" really established the systematization of Go theory, from the discussion of the game, public opinion, fiction and reality, and the review of the game to explain Go, as for the summary and systematization of the Go formula, it was gradually formed in modern times, Chen Fan's own favorite Chinese stream, which was a product of the eighties and nineties, As for the breakthrough of the artificial intelligence machine Alpha Dog on the stereotype of Go, it is a matter of recent years, and it seems that if you want to summarize and sort out your understanding of Go, you have to rely on your own meditation.

However, Chen Fan's heart was on fire, and he figured out this problem, which was very beneficial to his subsequent plan to become famous, and he wrote and explained the fixed formula of the Go layout stage in order to improve his popularity, and the officials that people often ignore can be used as key research objects, but they do not need to be announced to improve the winning rate. The waves in his heart flashed like lightning, and he said: "Thank you Master Chang, the general theory naturally does not need to be listened to, mainly the explanation of Go moves, if there are these lessons, I would like to hear it." ”

"Okay, this is no problem, it's just that this class of students has just entered the school, and the level is not very clear, and now in teaching, we will also consider those who have not played Go, and we will start from the basics, and when it comes to the actual combat stage in the later stage, when explaining the game case, you can come and listen to it, and by the way, you can talk about your views, and everyone will discuss with each other and make progress together."

"Master Chang is modest, sometimes I just walk by feeling, if I really say why I go like this, I can't tell it, that's why I want to listen to the lecture systematically." In other people's classes, it is naturally better to be modest, Chen Fan only intends to listen, not speak.

"Where, Fa Sheng, you are modest, we all know your chess strength, Dean Lu will not be bad at seeing people, when the time comes, you don't think the master is bad." Master Chang said a little jokingly.

"Don't be humble to each other." Lu Xian, who was next to him, saw that Chen Fan's lecture had been implemented, and interjected beside him: "By the way, Fa Sheng, last time you told Dean Wei in Cuixiang Pavilion that the Faqing Uprising in the Northern Wei Dynasty would be destroyed in less than three months, how sure are you?" ”

"Seventy percent." Chen Fan replied that although the Faqing Uprising was destroyed, in Chen Fan's opinion, it would be a safe thing, but he couldn't say it full, and it was seventy percent, which not only showed his confidence in the future judgment, but also conformed to the current age and identity of caution, Chen Fan thought it was just right.
