266. Motivate each other
The third game of the semi-finals was played directly on the second day.
It's a pity that Shi Mingzhi Jiudan may really be due to psychological suggestion, so he lost to Park Zhenghuan and missed another chance to enter the World Series finals.
You must know that the prize money of the runner-up in the World Series is not at the same level as the semi-finals.
The runner-up of the Ying Cup has a prize of 100,000 US dollars, while the semi-finals are only 25,000 US dollars.
In this game, Ming Zhi Jiudan directly lost 75,000 US dollars.
This is not yet a soft sister coin.
It's a knife.
Us dollarγ
A house in a small county town more than ten years later was lost like this.
Shi Mingzhi Jiuduan will be hell if he doesn't regret it.
And just like every tournament before it, there is always one person in South Korea who is guaranteed to make the final of the Ying Cup.
And Park Jung-hwan drew this guarantee this year.
Because the semi-finals were held in the magic capital, Ying Jie did not leave directly after the game, but stayed in the hotel arranged by the organizer for another day.
The next day, he also came to the competition site to shake hands and take pictures with Park Jung-hwan, the winner of today's semi-finals, and one person from China and South Korea each advanced to the final.
After taking the photo, it was the usual interview session of the media, and he was still a reporter from Yang Ma, but it was not Hao Sangsang, who often interviewed Ying Jie before, but a male reporter.
It is said that the Hao reporter was transferred to the CCTV station, and he will not host the sports channel in the future.
The male reporter asked the question more directly, and asked directly to the point: "Player Yingjie, first of all, congratulations on entering the finals of the Yingshi Cup World Go Championship, and also setting a record for the youngest person in the world finals.
According to our profile, you are now 15 years old, right? β
Ying Jie nodded when he heard this: "Yes, I was born in August 95, just past my birthday, just turned 15 years old, and I am less than 15 years old for a month." β
"It's so young, we all can't believe it.
Normally, many people think that you should still be in high school at this age, and you are already competing in the World Series, so you can say that you are a big step ahead of your peers. β
Hearing others praise his age, Ying Jie just said very ordinarily: "In fact, many chess players are very young and can make achievements, including the annual fixed-stage chess players, who are getting younger and younger.
Because the current game is actually very convenient, we can often play chess on the Internet, basically the number of games of young chess players has increased significantly compared with the previous generation, and it can even be said that it has multiplied several times, dozens of times.
And it used to be that it was often necessary to find a good teacher to teach face-to-face, but now there are also some online teaching things.
Although many times the intensive training is also necessary in the capital and other big cities, many children in small cities can also enjoy a lot of resources when they are just starting out, helping them to get better development at the beginning.
In fact, I am more grateful to the Internet era, scientific and technological progress has really promoted a lot of our progress, so both strength and growth rate will be greatly advanced.
It's not that we're smarter than our predecessors, it's just that we have access to better resources than our predecessors with the help of technology. β
Indeed, the chess players of the 90s generation can basically see that they have the assets of the world championship in their teens, and then win the championship in two years.
And the next generation that will emerge in the AI era will not dare to imagine what it will be like.
Looking at Ying Jie, who was very modest today, the male reporter was a little puzzled, and before he came, his colleague told him that Ying Jie himself would bring rhythm.
Why is this said so smoothly today?
"Is there anything you would like to say about yesterday's game? How should I evaluate it? β
Ying Jie pondered for a moment: "The quality of the game yesterday was not very good, in fact, there were many mistakes.
The Chinese rules, including the Ying rule, have eight dots, but it may be relatively difficult for black to play.
I need to take the initiative to attack and then find a way to make up for this sticker, and the strength of the initiative is also difficult to grasp.
This is also the consensus of everyone, but if the rules are changed, it is difficult to say whether it will be better than now.
Although I won, I was not very satisfied with the content of the game, and the first game may be in good shape, well, after a day of rest, the second game is not very good.
But I was lucky to win.
I was actually happy to be in the final 2:0, and it was the first time in my life that I made it to the final of the World Series.
For the time being, I don't know when the final of the Ying Cup will start, but I hope it can be sooner so that I can finish the final earlier.
I'm going to get in shape and be in the best shape for my first World Championship, and hopefully I can win my first World Championship sooner. β
"It seems that you are very confident that you will win this championship, and your opponent is the Korean player Park Jung-hwan Kudan who won the match today.
Today is also the time when Hanmu narrowly won the nine dans, do you have any comments on these two players? If you had a choice, who would you like to be your opponent in the final? β
"Both of them are very top chess players, and if they have a record against each other, it may be that Shi Mingzhi has an advantage in Jiudan.
However, the strength of the two people is actually about the same, and today may be in a bad state when Mingzhi Jiuduan is not very good, and then loses.
Actually, it doesn't matter who makes it to the finals.
But as the opponent in the final, there are not so many ifs, and it can already be determined that it is Park Jung-hwan 9 dan.
All I can do is try my best to prepare for this final and get my first World Title. β
"You're going to the Asian Games next month, do you think you can win the gold medal?"
"Because several events in the Go Asian Games are not individual competitions, but team competitions.
I played one in the men's team and the other in the mixed doubles, depending on the form of my teammates.
Anyway, we hope to win at least two of the three gold medals this time, and we will do our best. β
"Do you have any comments on today's semi-final opponent, South Korea's Choi Taek?
Because South Korea has been promoting behind him, he is the only opponent behind you. β
"Cui Ze, I remember that he was set a year earlier than me, and he was a little older than me, and his grades were relatively early, so I was considered to be the last.
Well, there is nothing to say about the content of chess, a very good young chess player, and no one in the Korean generation should be able to surpass him.
Maybe it's just a little dull in terms of personality, and of course there are reasons why it's inconvenient for us to communicate in language.
Personally, I still prefer a chess player with a personality like Gao Yongxia Jiudan, so you can motivate each other.
In this way, whether it is a highlight or something, it is more interesting. β
