Chapter 58: We are the champions(1/2)

After this game, both China and Japan paid unprecedented attention to this ring match.

In the minds of many Japanese chess fans, the dominance of Japanese Go is unshakable, which has been confirmed in the previous decades.

So at the beginning, Japanese chess fans thought it was just a crushing game. Perhaps there were no exciting Japanese domestic competitions such as Honinbo, Chess Saint, Celebrity, and Tianyuan.

But as the game progressed, Japanese chess fans discovered that Chinese chess players were not vulnerable. Jiang Zhujiu had won three consecutive victories before. Fortunately, Kobayashi Koruto turned the tide and won a five-game winning streak. Just when Japanese chess fans felt that Kobayashi Koruto was directly swept the Chinese team, Qin Hao's emergence saved the crisis for the Chinese team. Both sides fought to the point where only the last two players were left.

The excitement of this China-Japan Go competition can be described as ups and downs. The organizer, Japan Electric Appliances Company, could wake up from laughing even if she dreamed.

Originally, according to the organizer's idea, he had to strike while the iron was hot and rest for two or three days before the next two games were held. However, Masao Kato and Hideyuki Fujisawa asked to postpone the game for one month.

Regarding the request of the two top Japanese chess players, the organizer bargained and finally agreed to postpone it for half a month.

In this half month, not only these eight Japanese chess players, but also Hideyuki Fujisawa also used his influence in the Japanese chess world to call many top Japanese chess players to Shanghai.

These top Japanese chess players just showed up at the airport and moved into the private room of the Peace Hotel and never came out again.

At the same time, the Chinese Chess Academy was not idle either. It summoned many senior chess players to Shanghai to help Nie Weiping analyze the remaining two opponents. As for Qin Hao, he went back to Tongji for classes on the grounds that he had lost too many courses.

Unlike the last time he went to Beijing to participate in a training camp, Qin Hao returned to the classroom this time, which immediately attracted onlookers. The entire classroom was surrounded by people, and the scene was comparable to the scene of a brainless fan chasing star in later generations.

In the end, the director strictly ordered anyone to harass Qin Hao, otherwise the demerits would be taken into consideration. In 1984, college students' demerits were a very serious punishment because they would be written into the file, which would affect the assignment of work.

However, there are policies and countermeasures at the top. Every day, Qin Hao’s desk is stuffed with things, there are hazy poems representing love, snacks, and even people write blood books, which makes the first thing the head teacher does when he goes to work every day is to ask someone to clean up Qin Hao’s desk.

"I was puzzled. Do you think so many people like Go?" classmate Sun Hongqi said sourly.

"You don't understand this. They like not Go, but the person who plays Go."

"It's so scary. I feel that those Hong Kong and Taiwan fans are not crazy."

"No, there are even blood-written ones."

Li Jia listened to the students' discussions, but her thoughts drifted thousands of miles away.

At the same time, Qin Hao and his party have already boarded a flight to Beijing. This time with the sponsorship of the organizer, he finally doesn't have to squeeze into the train.

The players from the Japanese team also went there, but they were all in first class.

After the plane took off and balanced, Kobayashi Koichi suddenly appeared in economy class.

"Qin Sang, will it be convenient to delay your time?"

Kobayashi bowed ninety degrees as soon as he met.

Chen Zude stared at him with a vigilant look, and knew with his toes that in the past half month, so many Japanese chess players gathered in Shanghai must be studying Qin Hao's chess game.

"Be careful, he is here to spy on the news."

Regarding Chen Zude's reminder, Qin Hao just smiled: "If he has this intention, he must be prepared to steal books by Jiang Gan."

Then he said to Kobayashi Mitsuichi in Japanese: "No problem."

After Kobayashi Kwangyi sat down on the aisle, he couldn't wait to talk to Qin Hao about rainbow farts. Fortunately, Chen Zude and the others didn't understand Japanese, otherwise they would have blushed when they heard it.

In Chen Zude's anxious gaze, Kobayashi Guangyi chatted with Qin Hao for more than half an hour before leaving satisfied.

After Kobayashi Guang left, Chen Zude asked curiously: "What have you talked about for so long?"

"What else can two chess players talk about besides Go?" Qin Hao spread his hands together.

Chen Zude was anxious when he heard this, but Qin Hao was still addicted to the fire: "Kobayashi Guang asked me how I made such a quick move."

"how do you say?"

"Of course I'm telling the truth."

"Oh, how could you tell him this?"

Qin Hao pointed to his head and smiled, "I told him that there is a supercomputer hidden in my mind."

Chen Zude:...

The next day, chess fans from all directions gathered at the entrance of the Chinese Chess Academy early in the morning. In this era of extremely underdeveloped transportation, those who could come to Beijing to watch Go games were all die-hard chess fans.

After half a month of publicity, this peak Go showdown between China and Japan has also been hyped up and has been unprecedentedly popular.

As a top Japanese chess player, Masao Kato's strength cannot be underestimated. He is known for his strong chess style and has the title of "executioner". His computing power is also quite terrifying. He has a large number of chess fans in Japan. At this moment, there is a "cheerleader" composed of dozens of Japanese people at the entrance of the Chinese Chess Academy to cheer him on.

As the two minibuses arrived one after another, the chess fans at the scene became restless. If there weren't police at the scene to maintain order, they might have surrounded the minibus.

Just as Qin Hao and his party got off the car and were about to enter the chess academy, a riot suddenly broke out in the crowd.

Someone shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!"

Then there was a response like a tsunami. The dozens of Japanese chess fans who came to cheer for the Japanese team were frightened by this scene. Although they couldn't understand, they looked at the cannibalistic eyes of the Chinese around them, and they shrank into groups and never dared to shout slogans in Japanese again.

Seeing this scene, Qin Hao and his group couldn't help but smile, and the originally tense atmosphere instantly turned into invisible.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Suddenly someone threw a ball of things at Qin Hao. Qin Hao caught it in the air and discovered that it was a red flag. After thinking about it, he draped it directly on his body, and then slowly walked into the chess academy.

This scene was also recorded by countless reporters with cameras.

"Xiao Qin, go slowly, there is no pressure, I will be there behind me."

Before going to the ring, Nie Weiping patted Qin Hao on the shoulder.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can't see you."

"Let's wait for the awards."

After saying that, Qin Hao walked towards the ring with a red flag, and at the same time, Masao Kato was already ready for battle.

"Qin Sang, you are a very outstanding chess player, but today's champion must belong to us!"

Masao Kato said confidently that the reason why he has such confidence is that in the past half month, more than 20 top Japanese chess players have studied all Qin Hao's chess game, and they think they have found a way to restrain Qin Hao.

Although doing this is a bit unfair, they must do it for the sake of the dignity of Japanese Go.

"As long as I participate in the competition, you Japanese chess players will never want to win any championship again."

Qin Hao was too lazy to talk nonsense to the other party after he finished speaking, so he grabbed a handful of black pieces from the chess box.

Masao Kato guessed the single, but the result was even. Qin Hao obtained the right to take the black first. This scene made the Japanese team frown.

At the beginning, both sides made a very fast move. Qin Hao relied on AlphaGo's powerful computing power, while Masao Kato relied on his research on Qin Hao's chess game over the past half month.

Seeing that every step after Qin Hao's start was within their calculations, Kato Masao couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.

Nie Weiping and others were in deep thought when they watched the two of them on the screen in the lounge.

"Do you think it's a bit strange?" Jiang Zhujiu suddenly said.

"Where is strange?" Chen Zude asked.

"Have you noticed that Masao Kato's start is completely different from his previous chess shape?"

While the Japanese team was studying Qin Hao, Nie Weiping and others were also studying Masao Kato and Hideyuki Fujisawa. They knew their chess style very well, but they were definitely familiar with it.

After Jiang Zhujiu's reminder, the rest of them also woke up.

"Is this their opening pattern for Xiao Qin?"

For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but feel worried about Qin Hao. After all, Qin Hao is facing not only Masao Kato, but also the wisdom crystallization of a large number of top Japanese Go masters.

However, after entering the middle game, the smile on Masao Kato's face completely disappeared because he found that Qin Hao's chess style began to become a little different.

This scene was also seen by Hideyuki Fujisawa and others, which shocked them. You should know that a chess player's chess style was formed after countless competitions, and it was also related to the chess player's personality. A person's chess style cannot be changed in a short period of time. This is the consensus of all chess players.

But in today's chess game, Qin Hao's style has completely changed his direction from thirty hands, and changed his previous fierce attack and fierce attack, and turned into a steady and steady posture.

"How did he do it?"

"Impossible, he didn't play so many games before."

"Is there a possibility that we were fooled by him, and this is his true style?"

"Baga, a cunning Chinese boy!"

Masao Kato on the ring felt powerless as he was shaken off his waist. Not only did the hard work of the past half month go in vain, but this start also disrupted his rhythm.

On the contrary, Qin Hao still made a move as fast as lightning, as if he didn't need to think at all, which also made the Japanese team more convinced that Qin Hao's previous chess game was a deceptive trick, and this was his real chess style.

After 150 hands, Masao Kato obviously felt that he was in a great disadvantage, and beans of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it.

Suddenly, a drop of blood fell on the chessboard. Masao Kato subconsciously touched his nose, and then he realized that he had a nosebleed.

This scene was also transmitted to thousands of households by TV signals.

Suzhou Cotton Spinning Factory Family Lane.

"Oh, Brother Hao is going to win, little Japanese can't stand it."

Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei have already started celebrating in advance.

Song Ying's heart that had been hanging all the time finally fell to the ground.

Huang Ling and Zhuang Xiaoting held each other's hands tightly and shook excitedly.

The canteen of Tongji University in Shanghai was already crowded, and even the chef put down the spatula in his hand and squeezed it to the TV.

Li Jia looked at Qin Hao's figure wearing a red flag on the TV screen, and was a little dazed for a moment. It was not until a warm cheer that almost overturned the canteen roof that she came to her senses.

"Win, we won!"
