Chapter 30: The Price of Underestimating the Enemy
As a Go teacher, how could there not be a chess board in the office?
Zhu Dayong walked to the chessboard on the side, raised his finger and pointed to the seat opposite,
"Kid, sit over there."
"Xiao Ke, go quickly." Du Wenhui patted Li Jie on the shoulder when he saw this, and at the end he encouraged him: "Come on later."
Li Jie looked startled, come on?
nonexistent.
What he is considering now is whether he should give way to Zhu Dayong a little later. After all, this person's temper is not very good. What if he loses too ugly and the other party wants to beat him?
Of course, the above is all a joke.
Although Zhu Dayong is unkempt and a bit addicted to alcohol, he is undoubtedly a qualified teacher.
However, it is true to consider giving up your son.
With Li Jie's current chess skills, if he uses all his firepower, he may be able to kill Zhu Dayong before the middle game.
As soon as I entered the dojo, I lost my mentality of killing the instructor. It was a bit excessive no matter how I looked at it.
Do you want to hide your strength?
This is indeed a problem.
Not allowed?
Zhu Dayong is definitely not good-looking. Even if he is not really angry, considering how we get along with him in the future, he will always be a little embarrassed.
Not allowed?
Li Jie is also thinking of registering for the Samsung Cup qualifiers through Yijianghu Dojo.
The Samsung Cup is one of the few world championships that accepts registrations from amateur chess players, although according to the rules, the Samsung Cup allows professional chess players to register.
But in the actual implementation process, not just any amateur chess player can participate. At least you must have a recommender, or a recommending unit.
As a well-known training institution in the country, Yijianghu Dojo happens to be within the invitation range of the Samsung Cup qualifiers.
Entering the pre-selection through the dojo is undoubtedly one of the most convenient ways.
‘It seems like it’s better to be full of energy?’
'I'm not like Shinto Hikaru, Shiki, who relies on external forces. His strength is all obtained by his own hard work, and he is not afraid of other people's examinations at all.'
'Just do it!'
On the other side, Zhu Dayong didn't know what Li Jie was thinking. Likewise, he didn't know that beneath Li Jie's immature appearance, there was a soul that had gone through many lives hidden.
At this moment, he only felt that the child in front of him was the same as the previous children who had entered the dojo through connections. They were all connected households.
These children usually have one thing in common. They have some Go skills, but they are not very good. They are just so-so. At most, they can fool laymen.
If we really compare these 'connected households' with the seeded players among juniors competing in Duan Duan, the strength of both sides is completely different.
Therefore, Zhu Dayong only wants to win a quick victory. Anyway, the chess game will be just a formality. No matter how bad the kid is at Go, he will accept the opponent.
"Kid, you first take two black stones and put them on the chessboard."
Li Jie's face darkened when he heard this. How could he not see Zhu Dayong's perfunctory intentions? However, he was afraid that after playing this game, Zhu Dayong would not be able to help but doubt his life, so he gave a kind 'reminder'.
"Teacher, is this a handicap chess game?"
"Well, this is how I play chess with my students."
Although Zhu Dayong seems a little unreliable, his strength is real. Even if he retreats to the second line, his chess ability is still the same as before.
Not to mention the teenagers who are trying to reach the next level, even those in the early stages of the profession who are still competing on the front line will most likely not be able to beat him.
"OK."
Looking at Zhu Dayong's "arrogant" look, Li Jie's eyes flashed with helplessness.
This is your choice. If you lose later, don't blame me.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Li Jie took out two black stones from the chess box and placed them on the upper left and lower right star positions respectively.
'Well, the way of holding the chess pieces is quite decent.'
Zhu Dayong observed Li Jie calmly and made a secret evaluation in his heart.
'I guess I write a lot of music in my daily life.'
Due to physical reasons, children are not yet fully developed, and their finger strength is definitely weaker than that of adults. By the way a child holds the chess pieces, you can basically tell whether the opponent often plays chess and scores.
'Two star positions, a decent start.'
The next moment, Zhu Dayong picked up a white piece, raised his wrist, and dropped the piece on the chessboard with a snap.
Forty-sixteen, star position, a very ordinary move, but Zhu Dayong showed an overwhelming momentum.
This is Zhu Dayong's usual method during assessment, using extremely powerful moves to 'deter' students.
In Go, there are nineteen vertical and horizontal lanes. Victory and defeat are both inside and outside the chessboard. Off-field interference happens to be one of the best ways to deal with teenagers who are competing against each other.
Zhu Dayong did this just to let these students feel the "malice from adults" in advance, so as not to be suddenly frightened later.
However, the person sitting opposite Zhu Dayong at this time was not an ordinary person, but Li Jie. This small trick would not have any effect on him.
Snapped!
Li Jie once again resorted to his usual routine, starting with 33 points.
Seeing this hand, Zhu Dayong's face darkened, and anger suddenly surged in his chest.
Isn't this a joke?
Point thirty-three?
Can this kid play chess?
You actually clicked 33 at the start?
call!
suck!
call!
suck!
Zhu Dayong quickly took two deep breaths and kept thinking in his heart.
'not angry!'
'I am not angry!'
'He is just a child, no matter how strange it is, it will not be blamed on him.'
Zhu Dayong subconsciously took out a stainless steel wine bottle from his pocket and took a sip to suppress the anger in his heart.
After a while, Zhu Dayong responded.
Sixteen of six, Xiao Fei!
It was also a very conventional move, because in his eyes, Li Jie was just a young man who had just started playing Go, and it was not worth thinking too much about.
Seeing Zhu Dayong's performance, Li Jie secretly shook his head.
Although only five moves were played in this game of chess, the outcome of the final game was already clear.
Just because of Zhu Dayong's casual attitude, if he can't win dozens of moves against his opponent in this game of chess, that would be a 'crime'.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Both of them played chess very fast, as if they were playing "fast chess", almost without any thought, just relying on their "chess sense" to make moves.
Soon, forty moves passed.
Zhu Dayong looked at the chessboard in front of him. The chess piece in his hand could no longer fall. After being frozen in the air for a long time, he put the chess piece back into the chess box.
Immediately, he fell into a long exam.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Time passed slowly, and Zhu Dayong's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
At this time, he finally discovered that he had made a very serious mistake. He misjudged the other party's strength and thought that the other party was just a "connected person", which led to him becoming arrogant.
'This game of chess...this game of chess...has been...'
Click!
"Lao Zhu, what are you going to eat for lunch?"
At this moment, the office door suddenly opened, and a round-faced man wearing glasses walked in.
