All the masters at the Huaxia Chess Academy suddenly felt sad in their hearts.

Can I speak human language?

I just barely understood that "everyone is like chess", is Old Chess Master Wu going to throw out a new theory? I can't afford to be hurt...

It's not that Nie Xiaochun and the others don't have the ambition to make progress, but if their self-confidence is hit again and again like this, will it affect the state of the game?

Zhou Yi obviously did not want to be considerate of Nie Xiaochun and the others. After thinking for a while, he looked up at the old chess master Wu, his eyes gradually brightened: "If everyone is like chess, and chess is like life, then who is the one who controls the chess pieces, and who is qualified? Dominate other people’s lives?”

Wu Qingyuan's words made him suddenly enlightened. He originally thought that everyone is like a chess player, and the changes on the chessboard are just like the changes in life. There are no certain rules, which is the highest state of Go. He was even complacent about it; but he didn't expect that there are green mountains outside the mountains. Beyond the realm of people being like chess, there is another realm! Wu Qingyuan is indeed a figure who created a great era.

"Good question, good question!"

Master Wu Laoqi clapped his hands and laughed, nodding his head: "Thirty years ago, when I played the Invincible Player in the world and combined the five major titles of the island country, I thought I had reached the end of the chess path; but I didn't want to be understood by me five years ago. After seeing the truth that everyone is like chess, chess is like life, and there are endless changes, I thought that I had reached the highest level of chess, and I was very happy about it; but I didn't expect that a year ago, I finally accumulated a lot of experience and asked myself a question... ..."

"Is this the question Zhou Jiuduan asked just now?"

Dean Chen couldn't help but interjected and asked. After Zhou Yi won the Ying's Cup championship, he was considered a world champion chess player. The Huaxia Chess Academy had promoted him to ninth dan.

"That's the question Zhou Xiaoyou just asked..." Wu Qingyuan smiled and said: "It is good for everyone to play chess, but who is qualified to decide the fate of 'others'? It can be seen that this is not the highest state of chess. So the highest state What should it be? Asking yourself more questions is the only way to make continuous progress. If you encounter this problem, how should you answer it? "

This is all mysterious.

Nie Xiaochun, Cao Yuan and others couldn't help but smile bitterly. Playing chess is just playing chess. This has become a talk about Taoism and Buddhism. I don't understand. Nie Xiaochun couldn't help it anymore. He lowered his head and looked at the chess game that had been played. With his eyesight, he couldn't tell the outcome for a moment: "Old Wu, Brother Zhou, who won the game just now?"

With the chess skills of these professional masters, even a difference of one or two goals can be quickly determined. However, in this game, major changes occurred three or four times, and everyone had to restart the calculation every time, and it was extremely delicate. Several strong 9th-dan players dare not say who will win and who will lose before they take a serious look at it.

"It should be a tie, right?" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"It's even! It's impossible, right?"

Several masters are shaking their heads. In order to prevent a draw, whether it is the Chinese island style or the corresponding algorithm, they are trying their best to avoid this situation. Now we are playing chess in China, of course, according to the rules of China, and according to the Chinese algorithm, Only in handicap chess can a draw occur; because black should return three and three-quarters of his pieces first, and the Ying's Cup is even more brutal. It directly stipulates that black's pieces should return eight pieces, which has caused many players to When making the move, you have to pray that you don't choose black.

There are no three-quarters of the pieces on the chessboard, and even if there is a double life, it is impossible unless it encounters the catastrophe of immortality; but now there are new regulations. After encountering the catastrophe of immortality, the first player must change his moves. Otherwise, it will be a loss, so chess players try their best to avoid this situation. Nowadays, immortality is no longer seen in the competition.

But Zhou Yi will definitely not talk nonsense. What is the so-called draw? Nie Xiaochun couldn't help but touched his head. He lowered his head and looked at the chessboard carefully again, shook his head and said: "I'm sure there are no third-ring and fourth-ring tribulations. How can there be a draw?" Cao Yuan and the others were also puzzled, and everyone looked at Wu Qingyuan together.

"Hey... you guys are not weak at chess, and you are all amazing chess talents. It's a pity that you have been professional chess players for too long, and you care too much about utilitarianism, so your thinking has been restricted."

Wu Qingyuan pointed to a piece of white chess entangled in the middle of the black chess. During the competition between the two sides, Zhou Yi used a big change to sacrifice the sideline interests and turn to the midfield to survive, breaking the general trend of his universe. At that time, Nie Xiaochun and the others were all He was amazed by it and praised Zhou Yi for his courage to think and do and his amazing courage.

"This piece of black chess is already alive. Is there any problem?"

"Haha, if I survive, Black will lose a quarter of my piece. The difference is too subtle, no wonder you can't see it for a while."

Professional strong nine-dan players can rely on visual inspection to be accurate to one or even half a goal, but it is impossible to see the 0.25-purpose gap. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi lost a quarter of a piece in this game.

"Then how can we say it's a draw?" Mao Yu was like a curious baby. He looked at someone and sighed again. This girl is really the best... Her little eyebrows were wrinkled, and she looked so serious. , making people want to hold her in their arms and take advantage of it.

"If this black piece is alive, it will lose a quarter of the piece... Could it be!"

Nie Xiaochun reacted the fastest and suddenly looked up at Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi nodded with a smile, picked up a white piece, and placed it on one of the eye positions of the white piece. This white piece only has two eyes... ...

"Fill yourself with anger and seek death!"

All the masters seemed to suddenly understand something, and they all lowered their heads and calculated nervously. Even the most stringent Yingshi Cup rules would not prohibit chess players from committing suicide, because they had never encountered such a situation. , so when the Zhouyi is like this, black must raise the piece!

"How is it possible... Could it be that during the fierce battle in the midfield, starting from the big transition, White has already planned the final 'suicide'? Otherwise, this piece of chess has more than forty pieces, occupying a small half of the midsection. With such a huge room for maneuver, how can it be possible that with Brother Zhou’s level, he can’t create more eye positions?”

Masters have obsessions. When encountering such a big piece of chess, as long as it does not affect their own pace of play, they will naturally create a few more eyes. This is something that goes deep into the bone marrow, just like Huang Yaoshi in the novel saw the spirit. Zhishang stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of his neck. Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong did the same thing. This is the tacit understanding of masters.

At that time, Zhou Yi only created two eye positions. Nie Xiaochun and the others still felt strange when they looked at it. Now it seems that Ganqing was afraid of the trouble of 'suicide' later, so he only had two eyes...

Once the white chess piece is gone, the center suddenly becomes empty. According to the sequence, after the black chess piece is raised, it is the white chess piece that takes the lead. Is this to create a 'Zhenlong'? The things in the novel have been moved to reality. .And they are still so deliberate. After all, Nie Xiaochun and the others are from the Fang family. How can they not see it?

The question is where should the first move be? Both Zhou Yi and Wu Laoqi Sage said with certainty that it was a draw. Then there must be three or even four consecutive tribulations. Only in this way can loopholes in the existing rules be exploited. The result was a draw. But everything was surrounded by darkness. It was not easy to survive. It was even harder to get out of three consecutive tribulations than to climb to the sky.

Seeing that the experts were studying non-stop, and even laymen like Xiao Yezi and Tang Bao were crowding in, Zhou Yi and Wu Qingyuan smiled at each other and were not in a hurry to tell the answer. They were not pretending, they were just these Chinese people. The masters in the chess world have been playing Go professionally for a long time. They inevitably worry about gains and losses, and gradually make every penny count. They were all amazing chess talents in the past, but they gradually lost their spirituality because of this. All of them have abandoned Go in order to win. Fun winner and loser...

This is not the case with Go. If you play chess until you are dragged down by the superficial victory or defeat, interests, and reputation, is it still a human being playing chess? This is how you become a chess player. Wu Qingyuan felt this way, and Zhou Yi naturally felt the same way when he reached this level. This is the second time that the two of them have played such a subversive game of chess. They have deliberately created Zhenlong from the middle of the game, and left a result that will lead to three consecutive tribulations. They have put so much effort into this game to give all the masters a chance to win. Some kind of reminder; at the same time, it is also to further exercise my ability to control Go, in order to achieve the state of 'human and chess integration'.

The integration of human and chess has been pursued tirelessly by many generations of chess players, but this is just the foundation laid to reach a higher realm; "Everyone is like chess" is already a very high realm, how easy is it to go one step further? Zhou Yi is seeking the truth. , the same goes for Wu Qingyuan. Although he relied on years of accumulation to question "everyone is like a chess player" earlier than Zhou Yi, he was still confused as to what the next step was. Patriarch Bodhidharma sought greatness It took nine years of facing the wall in a cave to achieve this. The breakthrough in chess is not as simple as Buddhist enlightenment. How can it be achieved so easily?

Nie Xiaochun and the others did not live up to the expectations of Zhou Yi and Wu Qingyuan. In the face of this difficult problem, the several masters gradually calmed down from being impetuous, as if they had turned back into the talented young people who had just started learning chess, and gradually turned from discussion to contemplation. , tried again and again, calculated nervously, and after more than half an hour, everyone finally came to the only correct result. After a series of tetsuji exercises, the white chess player successfully survived the heavy siege of the black chess piece, but White's Chess does not rely on fixed eye positions to survive, but relies on three cycles of robberies, three consecutive robberies! Moreover, the advantage of black chess cannot exceed the number of robberies brought by three consecutive robberies. In other words, black chess does not have a big chance. The advantage can offset the uncertainty caused by three consecutive tribulations.

In this case, it can only be considered a draw, which is the current consensus in the Go community.

"How did you do it... Brother Zhou, Brother Wu, are you still human?"

Even Dean Chen was speechless and didn't know what to say. Cao Yuan and Qian Yu, who were responsible for recording the chess scores, had trembling lips and didn't know what to say. They were expecting a famous game, but unexpectedly it was a 'fairy game' , this game of chess can only be compared to the legendary game of Lan Ke Yuxian and Jiulao, but those are all legends...

Look at Zhou Yi and Wu Qingyuan. Aren't these two generations of chess saints, the old and the new, just legends? Nie Xiaochun made a statement at that time. From now on, he will be angry with anyone who calls him 'Nie Qi Sage'. In the past, this was considered an honor. After reading Zhou Yi After the game of chess with Wu Qingyuan, he felt insulted.

"Mr. Wu, everyone is like a chess player. There are various situations in the chess game, and I seem to understand the truth of the various situations, but I still need time to understand... Well, you just said a higher level, What is that? Brother Zhou..."

Apart from Wu Qingyuan and Zhou Yi, Nie Xiaochun was the most stunning person among those present. All the masters in the world of chess recognized his talent, and it was generally recognized that in terms of talent alone, he was still above Big Li and Xiao Li, but Big Li

He is immersed in chess and is known as the Stone Buddha. However, this old man is a romantic and has no bad qualities. He can drink a thousand glasses of wine without getting drunk. The actual skill he uses in chess is only three or four out of ten.

It's a pity for such a talent. But in the past, whether it was Dean Chen or Mr. Gu who loved Go, no matter how many times he tried to persuade him, he just ignored him. With his amazing talent, he could win the world championship with just a few moves.

, why should I have trouble with myself? Ever since Zhou Yi turned out to be born, he has only felt a little pressure. However, Zhou Yi is more than ten years younger than him. Chess is afraid of young people, which is the same as practicing martial arts. Moreover, Zhou Yi seems to be lazier than him, and he can play easily.

He doesn't feel much pressure because he doesn't want to participate in international competitions.

I watched the game between Zhou Yi and Wu Qingyuan today. They finally gave the result. He had to study hard with several masters for a long time before he came to the conclusion. This kind of IQ crushing and the strength shown by Zhou Yi

It made him lose his composure for the first time.

Nie Xiaochun was finally willing to humbly ask for advice, looking eagerly at Wu Qingyuan and Zhou Yi, hoping to get the answer, just like a chess academy student who had just started learning chess.

"Haha, with your chess talent Nie Sheng, you can explore this issue, but not now."

Wu Qingyuan smiled and said: "Take some time to practice the basic skills first. The first thirty moves are unparalleled in the world. Even I may not be able to match you. But Go is not just about the first thirty moves, nor is it a stunning chess talent.

It's kung fu. When the kung fu is deep, the enlightenment will come."

"What about Zhou Yi?" Nie Xiaochun looked at Zhou Yi, his mouth moved, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.

"Don't look at Zhou Xiaoyou. This kind of chess talent that is rare in a thousand years is no longer comparable to a genius. If you compare it with an ordinary genius like you, you will go astray..." Wu Qingyuan sighed and looked at it.

Eye Zhou Yi said: "Please forgive me for talking too much, little friend Zhou should not participate in any international competitions in the future..."

"Mr. Wu, why is this?"

Dean Chen became anxious when he heard this and said to himself, Mr. Wu, you are a highly respected senior and master, how could you learn to set fire in my backyard? He is different from Nie Xiaochun and others. The chess academy has poor results. There is no chess academy in the General Administration of Sports.

status, which is related to the welfare and remuneration of the chess player, and his personal work performance is secondary. This time he followed Wu Qingyuan to the 'Wangqi Courtyard' because he also wanted to see who the two generations of chess kings were.

Even more powerful. Secondly, I also want to do Zhouyi's work. I hope he can participate in this Chunlan Cup; the Samsung Cup set up by Bangzi is too cheating. The rules are all intrusive to domestic players who are good at fighting. Chinese chess players have not performed well in recent years.

It makes sense, because the Chunlan Cup is our home court. In the past two years, there has been a faint trend of being overtaken by island countries and stick chess players. If Zhou Yi is in charge, he will sleep better.

"Zhou Xiaoyou's chess skill level has far surpassed that of contemporary first-class chess players. If he participates in international competitions, the result will be no doubt..."

Wu Qingyuan sighed: "I naturally want to see China achieve results, but I don't want to see chess players from all over the world lose all their confidence and lose their enterprising spirit. What's more, with Zhou Xiaoyou's current level, he can't play chess with ordinary masters.

Not only will he be unable to make progress, but it will also affect his understanding of the supreme state of Go. Isn't it a pity?"

After hearing what Wu Qingyuan said, Dean Chen was naturally very anxious, but Nie Xiaochun and others nodded repeatedly. They were also shocked just now and almost lost their confidence. Fortunately, this was not a game against Zhou Yi in person, but instead they were prompted by Zhou Yi and Wu Qingyuan. I have improved my understanding of Go. If I were defeated by Zhou Yi in a world championship, I am afraid that I will lose my form for most of the year. In serious cases, I may even bid farewell to the chess world. This is no joke.

"Mr. Wu, I won the prize, but I really don't want to participate in any competition, haha." Wu Qingyuan stopped Dean Chen, which is a good thing in Zhouyi.

"Of course you can't participate in any competitions. I want to stay here for a while and play a few more games of chess. Everyone will be as good as chess. I have to rely on my little friend to help me understand..."
