Chapter 107 The affirmation from the world champion
"These are two monsters!"
This is a true portrayal of the hearts of professional chess players from China, Japan and South Korea at this time.
But the chess players watching the game had a different view. They were obsessed with the exciting duel between the two. They didn't care who lost or won. They would cheer and applaud every move made by Qin Hao and Zuo Wei.
Go returns to its most original joy at this moment.
After Zuo Wei saw Qin Hao's move, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's still a little bit worse after all."
However, Zuo Wei did not admit defeat, but quickly made a move: Tie.
After that, Qin Hao and Zuo Wei started a quick battle, and in the blink of an eye, another twenty moves passed.
This scene also made the chess players watching the game very enjoyable.
However, after twenty moves, Zuo Wei slowly shook his head and said to Shindo Hikaru: "We have lost, let's make a move."
Shindo Hikaru was still a little puzzled: "Why not finish it? It's already in the final stage anyway."
Zuo Wei sighed: "It's useless. No matter how we play in the end, we will lose four and a half eyes."
Shindo Hikaru could only click surrender with regret.
Qin Hao looked at the surrender application sent by Zuo Wei and clicked to confirm.
[Ding, complete the task of defeating Zuo Wei and obtain luck value: 35 points.]
At this moment, the chess players watching the game generally behaved in two ways.
Some chess players feel a little regretful.
"Is it over like this? It's a pity. I originally thought that the final decision would be a wonderful move, but I didn't expect it to be such an ordinary move."
"Yes, I have been waiting for Sai to make a comeback. If that happens, this game will definitely become the most exciting game of modern Go."
"It's a pity. Sai is already very strong, but then another monster like this appears."
Some chess players find it very satisfying.
"It's so exciting. I haven't seen such a heart-warming game in a long time. Both qinhao and sai performed impeccably."
"Yes, after watching this game, I feel that I have regained my interest in playing Go again. I will find the chessboard in the utility room tomorrow."
"It's great. Am I the only one who thinks the game between these two people is more exciting than that of professional chess players?"
Professional chess players from China, Japan and South Korea also feel a sense of loss at this moment.
The two mysterious Go masters suddenly appeared, and their strength did not belong to the professional ninth level. In such an era where Go is highly professional, it was originally thought to be impossible.
However, all this did happen. A layman would watch the excitement, and an expert would watch the door. Professional chess players like them naturally know the strength of qinhao and sai better than amateur chess friends.
At almost the same time, various sports-related media were also paying attention to this matter. Compared with professional Go, this kind of incident is more likely to attract the attention of the audience.
It is also easier to stimulate ordinary people's interest in Go. In this regard, the chess academies of China, Japan and South Korea also have a tacit understanding and played a role in fueling the flames later.
Under these media reports: terms such as online Go, private masters, and great battles appeared frequently, which also aroused the curiosity of many ordinary people.
People who didn't pay much attention to Go originally bought newspapers one after another, wanting to see what kind of private master could cause such a sensation.
After receiving positive feedback about the soaring sales, the media immediately launched more in-depth reports on this game.
Some media began to interview professional chess players and ask them what they thought of this game.
Nie Qisheng, Li Changhao, and Ta Shixingyang all gave high evaluations. These three influence in the Chinese, Japanese and Korean chess circles are definitely the top existences. To be recognized by these three people is equivalent to recognition.
It turns out that qinhao and sai have the strength of professional chess players.
Professional chess players were originally an unattainable profession for ordinary people. Even in South Korea, which has a complete youth training system, there are very few people who can eventually become professional chess players.
This is a profession with a high threshold, requiring extremely strong talent, and also focusing on systematic training. Since the professionalization of Go in modern times, professional Go and amateur Go are completely two worlds.
Now, two private masters suddenly appeared and were recognized by the top professional chess players. Naturally, many ordinary people were surprised and became curious about Go.
For a time, China, Japan and South Korea triggered a wave of Go craze, especially young players signed up for interest classes, and the number of youth training classes also skyrocketed.
Although the chess game is over, the story outside the chess game has just begun.
Qin Hao had no idea that the chess game with Zuo Wei would have such a profound impact. He still went to and from school every day as usual, experiencing the unpretentious happiness of being a junior high school student.
However, when Qin Hao was in class that day, the school leader suddenly led a middle-aged man to appear at the door of the classroom. After calling the teacher out, he said a few words and called Qin Hao out.
Jiang Xueming looked at Qin Hao worriedly.
Qin Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, for a good student like me, it's not too late for the teacher to pamper you."
When he came outside the classroom, Qin Hao recognized the identity of the middle-aged man, Yu Xiaoyang, the highest-level professional Go player in China today.
The school leader introduced Yu Xiaoyang with a smile: "Yu Xiaoyang 9th Dan, this is the Qin Hao you are looking for. He is the top student in our school and won the first prize in the essay competition for junior high school students..."
Yu Xiaoyang looked at Qin Hao and then asked the school leader: "Can I have a private chat with Qin Hao?"
"Of course, it's convenient. Why don't you go to my office?" the school leader suggested.
Qin Hao did not refuse and followed him to the office.
However, Yu Xiaoyang's first words left Qin Hao confused.
"Qinhao is your teacher, right?"
Qin Hao looked confused. Where did he get his teacher? And his name was exactly the same as his?
Yu Xiaoyang frowned slightly when he saw this: "It's the one who played against Sai online a few days ago."
Qin Hao was happy. It seemed that Yu Liang had told Yu Xiaoyang about his affairs, but because he was too young, Yu Xiaoyang could not believe that he had such strength.
"If I say that I am Qinhao, would you believe it?"
Yu Xiaoyang frowned, a little displeased. As a professional chess player who regarded Go as his life, he was disgusted with someone talking about Go in such a joking tone.
This was the case in the early days, and Qin Hao is also like this now. Yu Xiaoyang is puzzled as to why these talented children have no respect for Go.
"Seeing is believing, we will know your strength in the next game." Yu Xiaoyang said.
Qin Hao smiled noncommittally: "Not interested!"
Yu Xiaoyang was even more displeased: "A chess player should not refuse a challenge."
"Sorry, I'm not a chess player. I'm just an ordinary junior high school student. I'm not interested in playing any puzzle games with you. I have to go back to class." Qin Hao said and turned to leave.
Yu Xiaoyang said again: "I have seen your chess records with Shiguang. If you are really that good, haven't you ever thought about becoming a professional chess player?"
Qin Hao stopped and said calmly: "Of course, I will become a professional chess player, but I am different from you. Go is just a part of life for me."
After saying that, Qin Hao ignored Yu Xiaoyang and left quickly.
Yu Xiaoyang looked at Qin Hao's back and murmured to himself: "Go is just a part of life?"
For a long time, Yu Xiaoyang's eyes were firm: "No, Go is everything to me, and I can't live without Go!"
Back at the chess court, Nie Qisheng saw Yu Xiaoyang coming back and immediately greeted him.
"How about it?"
Yu Xiaoyang shook his head.
Nie Qisheng was a little disappointed: "Isn't this Qin Hao the disciple of that Qinhao?"
Yu Xiaoyang continued to shake his head: "I don't know."
"I do not know what that means?"
"He refused to play chess with me, saying that Go is just a part of life, but it doesn't matter. He said he would participate in the fixed-stage competition, and then we will know his strength." Yu Xiaoyang said goodbye to Nie Qisheng
, returned home and stared blankly at the black and white pieces on the chessboard. This was the game Qin Hao played with Zuo Wei that night. He had been studying it these days, but today he was a little absent-minded and could not concentrate.
At this time, Yu Liang came back from outside and clearly noticed that his father's mood was not right. This was the first time that he saw his father being distracted while studying the chess game.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Yu Liang asked cautiously.
Yu Xiaoyang did not answer, but said: "I went to see Qin Hao today."
"Oh? Is he the disciple on the Internet?" Yu Liang asked quickly.
Yu Xiaoyang shook his head and looked at the chessboard: "We will know everything when he participates in the fixed-stage competition."
"Will he also participate in the fixed-stage competition?" Yu Liang was a little surprised: "Yes, with his chess skills, he will definitely become a professional chess player. In this way, we will have the opportunity to meet in the professional arena!"
Yu Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel relieved to see his son like this. Although Yu Liang was not as talented as Shi Guang and Qin Hao, his attitude towards Go was much more serious than theirs. He believed that his son's future achievements would not be lower than theirs.
On the other side, Shi Shi couldn't stand Chu Ying's tireless nagging, so he could only register an online Go account. However, because the Internet cafe's network was so poor, he couldn't log in to the Japanese chess and card battle platform. Fortunately, it has also appeared in China.
A similar Go platform was created.
So Shiguang registered an account called , specifically to make Chu Ying happy.
What is more interesting is that this platform called Weida Go Network was built by Fang Xu, a disciple of Yu Xiaoyang.
Soon, this account began to cause a bloody storm on the Weda Go website, and gained the attention of many Go enthusiasts with its undefeated record of victory.
Shi Guang also experienced the fun of Go during this process. After Chu Ying made every move, he would think about why he made this move and whether there was a better way.
Chu Ying saw all this and began to teach him carefully. Shi Shi's chess skills also made great progress.
Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was July, with the high school entrance examination approaching, and the impact of the battle between Qin Hao and Zuo Wei gradually dissipated, and was only mentioned by chess friends after dinner.
Qin Hao, Jiang Xueming, and Shi Shi also entered the examination room at this time. After this examination, they will say goodbye to their junior high school life completely.
After several rounds of subject examinations, Qin Hao was naturally confident. After Jiang Xueming and Qin Hao evaluated their scores, they were basically stable.
Shi Shi was so worried that he couldn't remember how he answered the questions at all, so he could only resign himself to fate.
Of course, soon Shiguang no longer had to worry about this "little thing", because there was no summer homework for junior high school and high school, and he could play the whole summer carefree.
Jiang Xueming is also very happy because she doesn't have to go back to her hometown this year, so she can spend more time with Qin Hao.
With such a long summer vacation, Qin Hao naturally would not stay at home all day, so he proposed to travel. While there are not many people traveling across the country now, he could browse the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. In a few years, he would visit those tourist attractions.
All we can do is count heads.
Ogura Yumi naturally agreed with this proposal. Qin Ming had been busy with the factory these years and had no time to spend with his family. He felt guilty and agreed to this plan.
Just when Jiang Xueming was disappointed, Ogura Yumi grabbed her and said, "Xiaoxue, please come with us."
"Well, let's forget it." Jiang Xueming hesitated. Traveling would definitely cost a lot of money, and her family was not well off.
Ogura Yumi said domineeringly: "I'll call your parents right now."
In the end, Jiang Xueming's parents were defeated by Ogura Yumi's sharp tongue. It's a bit funny to say that Ogura Yumi's Mandarin has improved rapidly over the years. If she didn't often pop up some Japanese colloquial words, it would be difficult to tell the difference.
It turned out that she was actually Japanese, and her speaking voice was so cooing that it was difficult to refuse her request. Her father, Qin Ming, was completely manipulated by her, and Qin Ming did not get the idea that men become evil when they have money.
reflect.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this way, Qin Hao's family first went to the capital to appreciate the scenery of old Beijing. At this time, the urbanization transformation of the capital had just begun, and many of the bright and beautiful things were retained.
Architecture of the Qing Dynasty.
Qin Ming also bought a three-bedroom courtyard house at Qin Hao's instigation, but he didn't know if it would be demolished by then.
After walking around the capital, we went to Beidaihe.
Jiang Xueming also wore a swimsuit with the encouragement of Ogura Yumi. Although it was a very conservative swimsuit, the girl's smooth and fair skin and her already developing figure were still very attractive.
Facing Qin Hao's scorching gaze, Jiang Xueming was so embarrassed that her ears turned red, and she kicked Qin Hao uneasily.
"Don't look at it."
Qin Hao joked: "I'm not allowed to look at you, then I'll look at others."
Jiang Xueming became anxious upon hearing this, and stepped forward to cover Qin Hao's eyes: "You are not allowed to look either."
Qin Hao smiled and grabbed Jiang Xueming's hand: "You are too domineering."
Jiang Xueming blushed even more and whispered: "Don't make trouble, it would be bad for uncle and aunt to see it."
"What's wrong? They don't know how much they like you." Qin Hao pulled Jiang Xueming towards the beach.
The sea breeze blew in my face, carrying a slight salty smell, leaving two rows of cheerful footprints on the soft beach.
Happy times are always short-lived. Soon it was the end of August, and school was about to start. Qin Hao's family also returned to their hometown.
When Shi Guang saw the two of them coming back, he complained bitterly: "It would be better for you to go on a trip secretly without saying a word."
Qin Hao and Jiang Xueming looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Xueming complained: "Come on, you have no homework during the summer vacation. You must be crazy, right?"
Shi Guang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, by the way, you guys did so well in the exam, are you going to go directly to No. 13 Middle School, or go to the better Middle School Affiliated to Normal University?" Shiguang asked nervously.
After all, we have been friends since childhood, so naturally we want to continue going to high school together.
Qin Hao looked at Jiang Xueming: "You decide, I can do it."
Jiang Xueming stuck out his tongue: "Actually, my dad told me that I should continue to go to No. 13 Middle School. The High School Affiliated to Normal University is a bit too far."
In fact, the fundamental reason is that the tuition fees at the High School Affiliated to Normal University are relatively expensive.
"That's great, we can go to school together again." Shi Shi jumped up excitedly.
Qin Hao suddenly felt something in his heart: "Shi Shi, I am going to participate in the fixed-stage competition when school starts. Do you want to join me?"
Before Shijiang could react, Chu Ying had already jumped out of the void: "Shiguang, join in. If you can become a professional chess player, you can compete with more powerful chess players."
"But, can I do it with just these two moves?" Shi Shi is still self-aware. Although his chess skills have improved a lot this summer, they are still far behind those of professionals. He can't let Chu Ying help him in the future.
Does he play chess?
He still wants to use his own strength to embark on the path of a professional chess player.
Chu Ying thought the same thing, Shi Guang didn't want to be a puppet, and he also agreed with Shi Guang to go his own way.
When I got home, I was still thinking about the stage race, but I didn't expect to bump into Yu Liang.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that I won't play chess with you." Shi Guang knew that with his current strength, he couldn't beat Yu Liang, so he naturally had no tendency to be abused.
But Yu Liang said: "I'm not here to play chess with you. I just want to tell you that I will participate in the fixed-stage competition in the second half of the year."
Time ticked: "What's going on today? Everyone has to participate in the stage race?"
"Who else wants to participate in the fixed stage race?" Yu Liang asked curiously.
Shi Guang rolled his eyes at Yu Liang angrily: "Of course it's Qin Hao, just wait to be tortured."
However, Yu Liang did not panic at all, but looked excited: "Really? So I can play chess with him?"
Shi Guang secretly cursed: You're a psycho, you're a masochist, you're so good at your level and you haven't been tortured to death by Qin Hao, you're so excited!
Yu Liang got the news he wanted and left with satisfaction, but Shi Shi was depressed. These two took turns stimulating him!
"No, I also have to participate in the fixed-stage race, and I can't be left too far behind by them!"
At the last moment, I found Bai Chuan, the former teacher of the Children's Palace.
Baichuan suggested that Shi Guang go to the Yi Jianghu Dojo for further training, although he felt that with Shi Guang's chess ability, as long as he took it seriously, it shouldn't be a problem to compete in the final stage.
Shi Guang could only automatically omit the second half of the sentence and took his mother to Yi Jianghu to sign up.
It was during this period that the Fujitsu Cup had started, and professional chess players from China, Japan and South Korea gathered in Japan to fight fiercely for the world championship title.
In the end, Korean chess player Lee Chang-ho defeated many Chinese and Japanese players and won the championship, while Yu Xiaoyang won the runner-up.
However, Lee Chang Ho said in the post-game interview.
"It's a pity that he didn't come."
Soon Lee Chang-ho's interview was reported by major sports media, and the battle between Qin Hao and Zuo Wei was also revealed again.
Especially in China and Japan, there was a wave of search for qinhao and sai.
