Chapter 107 The affirmation from the world champion(1/2)
"These are two monsters!"
This is a true portrayal of the hearts of professional chess players from China, Japan and South Korea at this time.
But the chess players watching the game had a different view. They were obsessed with the exciting duel between the two. They didn't care who lost or won. They would cheer and applaud every move made by Qin Hao and Zuo Wei.
Go returns to its most original joy at this moment.
After Zuo Wei saw Qin Hao's move, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's still a little bit worse after all."
However, Zuo Wei did not admit defeat, but quickly made a move: Tie.
After that, Qin Hao and Zuo Wei started a quick battle, and in the blink of an eye, another twenty moves passed.
This scene also made the chess players watching the game very enjoyable.
However, after twenty moves, Zuo Wei slowly shook his head and said to Shindo Hikaru: "We have lost, let's make a move."
Shindo Hikaru was still a little puzzled: "Why not finish it? It's already in the final stage anyway."
Zuo Wei sighed: "It's useless. No matter how we play in the end, we will lose four and a half eyes."
Shindo Hikaru could only click surrender with regret.
Qin Hao looked at the surrender application sent by Zuo Wei and clicked to confirm.
[Ding, complete the task of defeating Zuo Wei and obtain luck value: 35 points.]
At this moment, the chess players watching the game generally behaved in two ways.
Some chess players feel a little regretful.
"Is it over like this? It's a pity. I originally thought that the final decision would be a wonderful move, but I didn't expect it to be such an ordinary move."
"Yes, I have been waiting for Sai to make a comeback. If that happens, this game will definitely become the most exciting game of modern Go."
"It's a pity. Sai is already very strong, but then another monster like this appears."
Some chess players find it very satisfying.
"It's so exciting. I haven't seen such a heart-warming game in a long time. Both qinhao and sai performed impeccably."
"Yes, after watching this game, I feel that I have regained my interest in playing Go again. I will find the chessboard in the utility room tomorrow."
"It's great. Am I the only one who thinks the game between these two people is more exciting than that of professional chess players?"
Professional chess players from China, Japan and South Korea also feel a sense of loss at this moment.
The two mysterious Go masters suddenly appeared, and their strength did not belong to the professional ninth level. In such an era where Go is highly professional, it was originally thought to be impossible.
However, all this did happen. A layman would watch the excitement, and an expert would watch the door. Professional chess players like them naturally know the strength of qinhao and sai better than amateur chess friends.
At almost the same time, various sports-related media were also paying attention to this matter. Compared with professional Go, this kind of incident is more likely to attract the attention of the audience.
It is also easier to stimulate ordinary people's interest in Go. In this regard, the chess academies of China, Japan and South Korea also have a tacit understanding and played a role in fueling the flames later.
Under these media reports: terms such as online Go, private masters, and great battles appeared frequently, which also aroused the curiosity of many ordinary people.
People who didn't pay much attention to Go originally bought newspapers one after another, wanting to see what kind of private master could cause such a sensation.
After receiving positive feedback about the soaring sales, the media immediately launched more in-depth reports on this game.
Some media began to interview professional chess players and ask them what they thought of this game.
Nie Qisheng, Li Changhao, and Ta Shixingyang all gave high evaluations. These three influence in the Chinese, Japanese and Korean chess circles are definitely the top existences. To be recognized by these three people is equivalent to recognition.
It turns out that qinhao and sai have the strength of professional chess players.
Professional chess players were originally an unattainable profession for ordinary people. Even in South Korea, which has a complete youth training system, there are very few people who can eventually become professional chess players.
This is a profession with a high threshold, requiring extremely strong talent, and also focusing on systematic training. Since the professionalization of Go in modern times, professional Go and amateur Go are completely two worlds.
Now, two private masters suddenly appeared and were recognized by the top professional chess players. Naturally, many ordinary people were surprised and became curious about Go.
For a time, China, Japan and South Korea triggered a wave of Go craze, especially young players signed up for interest classes, and the number of youth training classes also skyrocketed.
Although the chess game is over, the story outside the chess game has just begun.
Qin Hao had no idea that the chess game with Zuo Wei would have such a profound impact. He still went to and from school every day as usual, experiencing the unpretentious happiness of being a junior high school student.
However, when Qin Hao was in class that day, the school leader suddenly led a middle-aged man to appear at the door of the classroom. After calling the teacher out, he said a few words and called Qin Hao out.
Jiang Xueming looked at Qin Hao worriedly.
Qin Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, for a good student like me, it's not too late for the teacher to pamper you."
When he came outside the classroom, Qin Hao recognized the identity of the middle-aged man, Yu Xiaoyang, the highest-level professional Go player in China today.
The school leader introduced Yu Xiaoyang with a smile: "Yu Xiaoyang 9th Dan, this is the Qin Hao you are looking for. He is the top student in our school and won the first prize in the essay competition for junior high school students..."
Yu Xiaoyang looked at Qin Hao and then asked the school leader: "Can I have a private chat with Qin Hao?"
"Of course, it's convenient. Why don't you go to my office?" the school leader suggested.
Qin Hao did not refuse and followed him to the office.
However, Yu Xiaoyang's first words left Qin Hao confused.
"Qinhao is your teacher, right?"
Qin Hao looked confused. Where did he get his teacher? And his name was exactly the same as his?
Yu Xiaoyang frowned slightly when he saw this: "It's the one who played against Sai online a few days ago."
Qin Hao was happy. It seemed that Yu Liang had told Yu Xiaoyang about his affairs, but because he was too young, Yu Xiaoyang could not believe that he had such strength.
"If I say that I am Qinhao, would you believe it?"
Yu Xiaoyang frowned, a little displeased. As a professional chess player who regarded Go as his life, he was disgusted with someone talking about Go in such a joking tone.
This was the case in the early days, and Qin Hao is also like this now. Yu Xiaoyang is puzzled as to why these talented children have no respect for Go.
"Seeing is believing, we will know your strength in the next game." Yu Xiaoyang said.
Qin Hao smiled noncommittally: "Not interested!"
Yu Xiaoyang was even more displeased: "A chess player should not refuse a challenge."
"Sorry, I'm not a chess player. I'm just an ordinary junior high school student. I'm not interested in playing any puzzle games with you. I have to go back to class." Qin Hao said and turned to leave.
Yu Xiaoyang said again: "I have seen your chess records with Shiguang. If you are really that good, haven't you ever thought about becoming a professional chess player?"
Qin Hao stopped and said calmly: "Of course, I will become a professional chess player, but I am different from you. Go is just a part of life for me."
After saying that, Qin Hao ignored Yu Xiaoyang and left quickly.
Yu Xiaoyang looked at Qin Hao's back and murmured to himself: "Go is just a part of life?"
For a long time, Yu Xiaoyang's eyes were firm: "No, Go is everything to me, and I can't live without Go!"
Back at the chess court, Nie Qisheng saw Yu Xiaoyang coming back and immediately greeted him.
"How about it?"
Yu Xiaoyang shook his head.
Nie Qisheng was a little disappointed: "Isn't this Qin Hao the disciple of that Qinhao?"
Yu Xiaoyang continued to shake his head: "I don't know."
"I do not know what that means?"
"He refused to play chess with me, saying that Go is just a part of life, but it doesn't matter. He said he would participate in the fixed-stage competition, and then we will know his strength." Yu Xiaoyang said goodbye to Nie Qisheng
, returned home and stared blankly at the black and white pieces on the chessboard. This was the game Qin Hao played with Zuo Wei that night. He had been studying it these days, but today he was a little absent-minded and could not concentrate.
At this time, Yu Liang came back from outside and clearly noticed that his father's mood was not right. This was the first time that he saw his father being distracted while studying the chess game.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Yu Liang asked cautiously.
Yu Xiaoyang did not answer, but said: "I went to see Qin Hao today."
"Oh? Is he the disciple on the Internet?" Yu Liang asked quickly.
Yu Xiaoyang shook his head and looked at the chessboard: "We will know everything when he participates in the fixed-stage competition."
"Will he also participate in the fixed-stage competition?" Yu Liang was a little surprised: "Yes, with his chess skills, he will definitely become a professional chess player. In this way, we will have the opportunity to meet in the professional arena!"
Yu Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel relieved to see his son like this. Although Yu Liang was not as talented as Shi Guang and Qin Hao, his attitude towards Go was much more serious than theirs. He believed that his son's future achievements would not be lower than theirs.
On the other side, Shi Shi couldn't stand Chu Ying's tireless nagging, so he could only register an online Go account. However, because the Internet cafe's network was so poor, he couldn't log in to the Japanese chess and card battle platform. Fortunately, it has also appeared in China.
A similar Go platform was created.
So Shiguang registered an account called , specifically to make Chu Ying happy.
What is more interesting is that this platform called Weida Go Network was built by Fang Xu, a disciple of Yu Xiaoyang.
Soon, this account began to cause a bloody storm on the Weda Go website, and gained the attention of many Go enthusiasts with its undefeated record of victory.
Shi Guang also experienced the fun of Go during this process. After Chu Ying made every move, he would think about why he made this move and whether there was a better way.
Chu Ying saw all this and began to teach him carefully. Shi Shi's chess skills also made great progress.
Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was July, with the high school entrance examination approaching, and the impact of the battle between Qin Hao and Zuo Wei gradually dissipated, and was only mentioned by chess friends after dinner.
