Ye Shengtian continued his chess game with the Japanese old man and asked me casually.
"I know a little bit about it."
I said more reservedly.
"You are really not humble at all."
Ye Shengtian chuckled lightly.
In terms of chess skills, as long as someone is really good at playing chess, if he knows a little bit about it, then he is basically a master of chess.
Ye Shengtian probably regarded me as a layman, thinking that I really only knew a little bit about it, so he didn't say much, and just introduced me to the old Japanese man opposite.
"This is Mr. Watanabe from Japan. He is a famous Go master and one of the few nine-dan chess players in Japan. Even in the Eastern Empire where there are many masters, he can definitely rank
It’s in the top ten.”
"In our country of China, due to the decline of chess skills, there have been no nine-dan chess players for many years, so master-level figures like Mr. Watanabe basically have no opponents in the country."
Ye Shengtian sighed slightly as he spoke.
He seems to be feeling regretful, but in reality he is worshiping foreigners and trying to embolden other people's ambitions, destroying his own prestige. And the most important thing is that others don't appreciate it.
"It's not that I basically have no opponents, it's absolutely true. With my level of Go, I have swept across the entire Chinese chess world. It doesn't matter, you don't have any masters in chess in the East for a long time."
Watanabe spoke broken Mandarin, said very confidently and very arrogantly.
"Yes, with Mr. Watanabe's level of Go, it is indeed impossible to encounter an opponent in China."
Ye Shengtian quickly echoed.
"That's not necessarily the case."
I disagreed and retorted: "We are a vast country with a vast land and rich resources, a long history of culture, and countless capable people and strangers. How can it be compared to the tiny country of Japan? I am just a nine-dan chess player, nothing!"
"
"What did you say?"
When Watanabe heard this, he became furious.
"Mr. Watanabe, please calm down. This young man inevitably doesn't know the heights of the world, and his words are a bit arrogant. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. Look at a young boy like him, how can he know how to play chess?"
When Ye Shengtian saw Xiaozi getting angry, he quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Why can't I play chess? Even with my feet, I think I can completely beat this veteran."
I said and looked at Watanabe extremely provocatively.
"Shut up, Mr. Watanabe is my honored guest. How can you be so rude?"
Ye Shengtian got a little angry and stared at me with a serious face.
"What the hell is this distinguished guest? Isn't he just a kid who knows how to play chess? I'm sure he can't even play chess with me."
I said disdainfully.
"you......"
Ye Shengtian was about to get angry, but was stopped by the little devil.
Then he looked at me with great interest and said in broken Mandarin: "Although you don't know etiquette and are arrogant, you have great courage. Okay, then I will give you a chance to play chess with me, but
If you lose, you have to keep one hand."
As he spoke, Watanabe directly placed a samurai sword on the table.
"What if you lose?"
I squinted at him.
"Haha, I have met many chess masters in China, and I have never lost. If you can beat me, you can do whatever you want."
Watanabe laughed loudly and said with great confidence.
"That's not possible. It's better to make it clear in advance."
I shook my head and said, "I won't take advantage of you. If you lose, how about leaving a hand?"
"Okay, you are a very good young man, and I admire your courage."
Watanabe nodded, looked at me with an appreciative expression and said: "If you change your mind now, the bet just now can be voided, and I can even accept you as a disciple and teach you advanced chess skills. Maybe in the future It’s not necessarily possible that you will become a master of chess.”
"Accept me as your disciple? Are you worthy?"
I sneered disdainfully.
This little devil really takes himself too seriously. He actually wants to accept me as his disciple? What a waste!
"Young man, you'd better think clearly."
Watanabe lowered his face and said: "With my identity and status in the chess world, Junichi Watanabe, there are too many people who want to become my teacher. Unfortunately, I don't look down on ordinary people at all. I also want to see if you have courage." That’s why I decided to make an exception and accept you as my disciple and teach you the superb Japanese chess skills, which is the essence of chess skills that you can never learn in your Chinese country.”
"That's right, it's rare that Mr. Watanabe values you so much. Why don't you hurry up and become a disciple? Do you want to marry my daughter?"
Ye Shengtian also helped me, and even threatened me with Ye Hongluan.
I almost couldn't help but burst out laughing. Why is this guy so easy to fool?
"That's something else."
I waved my hand and said: "In short, I will never worship a kid as my teacher. The essence of chess is in our country of China. After all, Go was introduced to the East from our country of China. What do they know about the essence of chess?" ?”
"Asshole!"
When Watanabe Junyi heard this, he was furious. He slapped the table and said: "Go is a skill of our Japanese country, and it was only introduced to your China. You kid, don't distort history. You, China, don't have any Go masters at all." .”
"Yeah?"
I sneered and said: "In that year's Sino-Japanese Go Competition, how many of your chess masters did Mr. Nie defeat? Not to mention a mere 9th dan like you, even the top 10th dan Go masters in the Japanese country at that time did the same. It is simply ridiculous for you to talk about the essence of chess after losing to Mr. Nie."
"you you......"
When Jun Watanabe heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he couldn't refute my remarks.
Because what I said is true. In that Chinese-Japanese Go competition, Mr. Nie almost swept the entire Japanese Go world and won the championship in one fell swoop. This is history that cannot be changed.
"That's all in the past. Mr. Nie is indeed a rare Go master. But now, do you still have such people in China? Not to mention ten-dan players, even nine-dan players like me can do it. Sweeping your entire Chinese Go world."
Watanabe Junichi said with a dissatisfied face.
"Don't talk too much, beat me first and then talk. I'm just a low-level amateur chess player. If you lose to me, then there's no need to chop off your hands, just commit seppuku!"
I said and pointed to the samurai sword on the table.
"You bastard, you are so arrogant, then let me teach you what real Go is."
Junichi Watanabe took the short knife off the table and started making moves to seize the opportunity.
Whoever makes the move first in Go has the advantage. Anyone who can play Go knows this.
But I didn't care and just started a game with him.
In the face of absolute strength, all opportunities and advantages are nonsense.
Watanabe Junichi used the Xiaomu Sansan opening technique. His chess skills are indeed extraordinary, I must admit this.
But I can quickly turn my brain to calculate all his possible steps, as well as the position of dozens or even dozens of steps in the future, so as to achieve effective interception in advance.
For a time, the chessboard was filled with murderous aura, like thousands of troops galloping to fight. The battle was so brutal that it was unprecedented.
Ye Shengtian, who was standing next to him, was basically dumbfounded at this time, with a look of astonishment flashing through his eyes from time to time.
Playing Go, to put it bluntly, relies on brainpower, concentration, and perseverance. As for me, a person whose brain has been developed close to 20%, are you comparing this to me? Isn’t that an egg hitting a stone?
