The two chess players were stunned at the same time.
At the same time, outside the chess room, the crowd was in an uproar.
The Tang Dynasty chess player was immediately awarded a loss due to mistime!
The results spread outside at the same time.
"Why?"
The first person to question was not Bai Song, but his opponent Yuan Jiliang.
Minamoto Kira stood up, held a handful of chess pieces in his hands, and stared at the referee in disbelief, as if he was the one who was suddenly judged.
"You must give a reasonable explanation and cannot accept such unreasonable results."
Minamoto Kira asked again.
The referee said coldly: "The Tang chess player made a mistake and was directly awarded a loss according to the rules. Can't this be called a reason?"
Minamoto Kira's words were blocked with a cold reply. At first glance, it seemed that there was really no problem. It was natural that he would be directly judged as a loser because of the delay.
But the verdict was not pronounced sooner or later, and the verdict was pronounced just when Minamoto Kira was about to admit defeat. The meaning of this couldn't be more obvious.
Minamoto Kira was very angry because he felt even greater humiliation than losing chess.
But faced with the referee's answer, he seemed helpless.
"I'm sorry...this is not the result I wanted!" Yuan Jiliang said to Bai Song in a low voice, and then bowed deeply.
Standing in front of Bai Song, Yuan Jiliang suddenly couldn't raise his head and showed his greatest apology.
Everyone looked at Bai Song, waiting for Bai Song's response.
Several referees looked at each other and felt a little strange.
Bai Song behaved very calmly from the beginning, without any emotional changes due to the verdict. It seemed that everything had nothing to do with him.
It was as if the entire game of chess had nothing to do with him.
"This game is a direct loss because you missed the timing."
The referee looked at Bai Song's expression and wondered if he didn't understand, so he spoke again in broken Chinese.
"Yeah." Bai Song smiled and nodded.
Laughing?
What does this mean?
What kind of reaction is this?
"Do you accept this result?" the referee asked again.
Bai Song raised his head, glanced at the referee, and then at Genji Liang opposite him, still looking so relaxed: "Accept it, what if I don't accept it? Isn't it just a loss of a game? It's not a big deal, there will be more later.
Two games, but I won’t be late for tomorrow’s game.”
After leaving a few words, Bai Song stood up slowly, turned around easily, and left easily.
Can't understand.
Everyone present could not understand. Didn’t this person know how important his chess game was?
"Why didn't he react at all? Is he using indifference to cover up his inner anger?"
A thought flashed through Yuan Ji's conscience, and then he looked at Bai Song's back. He didn't know what he was thinking, and shouted again: "I'm sorry, this is not the result I wanted."
Then he bowed ninety degrees again to Bai Song's back.
This is the most sincere way Japanese people can think of to express their apology.
Bai Song heard what Yuan Jiliang said, but he didn't look back.
Is this an apology?
Bai Song's heart disdained such an approach.
There was already a commotion in the Qiyuan Square. Some people were cheering, some were questioning, and some were confused...
People with various emotions gathered together, and the most sacred place representing the Japanese chess world was as busy as a vegetable market.
Bai Song couldn't see where Bai Rou was, and could only see a few dozen chess moves on the big chessboard in the distance.
Because the number of pieces is too small, the advantages and disadvantages of black and white are not particularly obvious, but judging from the first set, Bai Song's black chess seems to have some advantages.
In the eyes of outsiders, today's first game of chess only lasted a dozen moves, and then we heard the news that we had lost.
Although I don’t know why or what happened that contributed to this result, it is really a pity that the game was lost due to overtime.
From the perspective of this group of people, the verdict was a bit sudden, but it is not unacceptable.
But there are still some people who believe that the chess game outside is half an hour behind the game inside the chess room. The real chess game is not as simple as what the outside world sees. This decision is very sudden and strange.
If the decision was really made due to a delay in timing, the chess academy should have announced the result long ago. It would have been impossible to discuss a penalty for nearly an hour.
Seeing this scene, Bai Song smiled faintly again.
"It seems that it was not a sudden move, but that it had been prepared for a long time. It's a pity that they delayed it until now."
Regarding today's results, Bai Song was not surprised at all. All he could think of was that the methods were different.
When Bai Song was looking for Bai Rou, Bai Rou arrived behind Bai Song at some point and patted Bai Song: "Brother, what on earth is going on?"
When Bai Song turned around, he saw Bai Rou, Mu Zhi and his grandson pushing past the crowd and walking over.
Before Bai Song had time to speak, Xiaokui asked impatiently: "That's it, why did the penalty take so long? What is the real chess game like?"
"It was Minamoto Kira who was going to lose! It must be Minamoto Kira who was going to lose! So they suddenly changed the penalty."
The three of them stared at Bai Song expectantly.
The movement here attracted some attention. Bai Song just smiled and whispered: "Since we all know the result, why explain it? Let's go, we don't have to waste time here."
Bai Song didn't explain too much. He didn't want to be recognized, otherwise it would cause a lot of problems.
When I left the chess court, I saw people talking about the first day's chess game.
There is only one focus of debate, why the decision was made at that point in time.
People who knew the truth were indignant. Even Bai Rou, who knew nothing about Go, was a little angry, not to mention Xiaokui and Mu Zhi. They could not accept the Japanese Chess Academy winning the game in this way.
Only Bai Song was very calm all the way. Instead of getting angry when listening to the discussions around him, he would secretly smile.
Others don't understand Bai Song, but his sister Bai Rou understands her brother very well.
Before something like this happened, my brother would have gone berserk.
Bai Song is not a character who is willing to suffer losses. There must be other reasons why he is not angry when he encounters such unfair treatment.
When it comes to delaying participation in the competition, Bai Rou thinks of a possibility.
"Brother, are you late on purpose to create this situation?"
"You just realized it now?"
"Ah? Did you really lose on purpose?"
"Otherwise, how can you see the hypocrisy of the Japanese Chess Academy?"
"Brother, I already know the character of the Japanese people. In fact, you don't have to do this at all. This game is very important. It is a pity to lose a game just because you see the hypocrisy of the Japanese people again."
"It's just a game of chess. When the difference in strength reaches a certain level, winning or losing will become very easy to control. The real purpose of this loss is not only to make you see the hypocrisy of the Japanese Chess Academy, but also to make all the people of Japan see
Everyone has clearly seen the true face of the Chess Academy, which they regard as a holy place. If I want to form a new Go organization, I have to push the Chess Academy down from the altar. If the Japanese Chess Academy wants to win chess, what I want to win is the people's hearts."
