Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 194 193. Delisting System

Ying's Cup World Professional Go Championship is a world professional Go individual competition founded by Mr. Ying Lao, an industrialist from Baodao, China.

The first competition was held in the capital of China, held every four years, known as the "Go Olympics".

The original intention of the event was that when Fusang Go dominated the world, both China and South Korea relied on it and kept learning from behind.

However, through several Sino-Japanese group arenas, Chinese Go has the potential to stand up and overwhelm Fusang.

Mr. Ying held this world game just to help Chinese Go to the number one position in the world.

At that time, Kobayashi from Fusang and Lao Nie from China were the favorites to win the championship, and the finalists were Nie Feng [-]th dan and Korea's Cho Mingxun [-]th dan.

At that time, it was generally believed that Mr. Nie could win the championship, because his relative record was a little bit better, and another Kobayashi Jiudan who was qualified to hit the championship did not enter the final.

We all feel that we cannot fail.

In the three games of the first stage, as everyone expected, Nie Feng Jiuduan led 2:1.

Basically, everyone thinks that the overall situation has been settled, and everyone's hearts are relieved.

According to the original plan and the regulations before the competition, the last two competitions will also be held in China.

But at this time, the Korean Chess Academy suddenly protested, thinking that it was unfair for all the games to be held in China, and required that the next two games must be held in South Korea, otherwise they would ask the contestants to withdraw.

In order to coerce the sponsor and the Chinese Chess Academy to obey their arrangements.

The old Mr. Ying resolutely opposed the unreasonable demands of the South Korean side. He had clearly agreed to the things he had agreed to before, but now he turned his head and acted foolishly.

Isn't this shameless?
If you want to withdraw from the competition, the championship will directly belong to China. Anyway, the current process itself is 2:1 with us. No matter how you say it, we are justified.

However, the Chinese Chess Academy, adhering to the so-called spirit of peace is the most important, made a compromise and put the game in Singapore.

Then Mr. Nie took the flight to Singapore alone, but because he got off the wrong plane at the transit station and the air conditioner on the plane was too cold, he caught a cold.
Originally, Dayou's official in the fourth round had a defeat and was reversed.

And Cao Mingxun won the fifth round again with the momentum of a big victory, becoming the champion of the first Ying's Cup.

After returning to China, Cao Mingxun's [-]th dan became a national hero in South Korea, and at the same time set off a Go craze in South Korea.

In this battle of Go Tianwangshan between China and South Korea, Chinese Go fell to the ground, but Korean Go suddenly emerged.

In the following period of time, it continued to be suppressed by the Korean wave, and the champions of the first four Ying's Cups were all won by South Korea.

It was not until the fifth Guangyin Jiuduan that he won the championship for the first time. At this time, Mr. Ying who held this competition has passed away, and the Chinese have never won the championship.

After a long dark night, it was only in recent years that Chinese Go has the potential to compete with South Korea.

The competition founded by the Chinese has been held six times, and Koreans have won the five times. Naturally, everyone knows how they feel.

Therefore, the Chess Institute also said before the departure that this game is only allowed to succeed, not to fail.

Whether it's for the country or Mr. Ying.

There must be another city.

As for Ying Jie, who holds a wild card, the burden on him is even heavier.

"Taipei is okay. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, it is not a small county."

Tonight is the opening ceremony and dinner of Ying's Cup, and after the participation, there will be a lottery for the competition.

Ying Jie did not draw the European and American recommended lottery in the traditional sense, but a Korean chess player who is an old acquaintance, Kim Dong-seok [-]-dan.

But counting the other party's age, 20 years older than yourself, it is considered easy to sign.

Just focus on one that cannot fail.

Looking at the fried skewers in Ying Jie's hands, Lu Li Jiuduan and the others couldn't help complaining: "Tomorrow is the competition, and there is still time to go out to the night market."

"Tomorrow's opponent is just right to sign, so he is probably a chess player I know better.

I feel that it is best to relax before the game at this time. Only when there is no pressure can I play my best strength. "

Ying Jie said as he ate a grilled sausage.

Before I wanted to discuss Korean chess players with others, there happened to be a girl studying in Korea who volunteered to practice with me and introduce myself by the way.

And this girl is Kim Ji-yeon, the daughter of Kim Dong-seok's [-]th dan Dazhuang.

Compared with other Korean chess players, of course she knows her father best, so she talked the most during the introduction.

For example, some anecdotes about Kim Dong-seok's inevitable defeat.

Coincidentally, I happened to meet the opponent's old father in the first round.

Kim Dong-seok's [-]th dan is really grateful for his little padded jacket.

"Give me a list, the night market in Taipei is not bad, forget about the others, there is not much to go shopping.

Except for a few big cities, other small counties in Baodao are just like rural areas, and the urban-rural fringe style is not considered. "

"That's how it is in a small place, basically it's all about building a point and gaining the advantage of concentration.

Isn't Korea too?The city of Seoul accounts for more than 1/5 of the population.

Fusang is the same. Except for cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, the construction in other places is the same as that in rural areas. Their county towns are no different from our rural areas. Basically, there is no infrastructure, let alone job opportunities.

Only these cities have opportunities, and there are no job opportunities in other places. Young people can only go here sharply.

I remember that Fusang issued a policy to give money to move out of Tokyo, but no one wanted to move. "

"It's the same with us, but we have a bigger place and can buffer more than them."

Because Go is more popular in China, Japan, and South Korea, the World Series is basically held in rotation among these three countries.

Therefore, top chess players often travel back and forth between China, Japan and South Korea. Apart from competitions, they will definitely go shopping.

Relatively speaking, I know more about Japan and South Korea.

"However, this time the lottery system is changed to a delisting system, the pressure should be on your seed players.

This time, the principle of evasion was not passed, and it was directly like the products on the shelf, allowing anyone to choose.

If you can't do it well, just take a round trip. "

Looking at Lu Li Jiuduan and others who were playing chess with tomorrow's first round players at night, Ying Jie wiped the oil from his mouth and said.

delisting card.

That is, the eight players who qualified in the first round have the right to designate any of the eight seed players as their opponents, and they will be selected in turn.

It can be said to add a lot of fun to the game.

"Most people will definitely choose those Fusang first for stability."

Hearing this, Ying Jie didn't speak.

At least for Yingjie, he is very happy with the added competition system this time.

Because the lottery he drew was a group, which also meant that he could be the first to choose his opponent.

Order troops and generals, who is better to order?
Choose a lucky one and stop at the top [-].
