Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 221. 220. Away Battle
"How many hours are left?"

"It is estimated that there will be about three hours before we can reach the bus station over there."

"so tired!"

"Just get used to it. It's like this every year when I come to Shandong."

Ying Jie couldn't help stretching on the long-distance bus. He almost forgot how long he hadn't been on a long-distance bus?

In Ying Jie's impression, it was when he was very young in his previous life. At that time, there was no high-speed rail station in the county seat of his family, and he had to take a long-distance bus to go to the nearby big cities.

Children are very prone to motion sickness and vomiting, and adults have to carry a plastic bag with them, and even the long-distance bus itself will prepare some plastic bags.

After the high-speed rail came later, long-distance buses are already a distant memory. Even if it is a cross-city bus from the county to the city, half an hour is already considered a long journey.

After Ying Jie came back from South Korea, he didn't rest for a few days. Although he didn't participate in other national competitions, the playoffs of the Go League A were still in full swing.

Ying Jie also ran around the country with his team.

This time, he followed the team to the Shandong team's home court for an away game.

Because the Shandong team placed their home court in a small county below, Ying Jie and the others had to take a bus to the county after arriving in Qingdao by plane.

In addition to the various time on the plane, the long-distance raid was almost a day, even Gu Shao injured Jiuduan's physique, it was hard to hide his exhaustion.

Ying Jie has been a professional chess player for almost a year, especially after a year, many games have been renewed for a round.

Therefore, Ying Jie has gradually entered the right track in the professional arena, and his life has begun to become rhythmic.

According to the results of the previous year's competitions and rankings, Ying Jie needs to participate in the preliminary selection for some competitions, and some can directly enter this competition, but some still need to enter the preliminary selection.

For some domestic competitions, pre-selection is required for a long period of time. Except for the title match, Ying Jie basically chooses to give up by default.

A person's energy is limited, and he must focus on the most important games.

But the international competition is completely different. The world championship can be said to be the most recognized competition, even if you have to qualify for the preliminaries.

After a year or two, when Yingjie has accumulated enough points, he can directly enter the competition to participate in the competition by buying seed qualifications with championship points.

But the accumulation is not enough now, and the two domestic championship points in hand are not enough to exchange for a seed spot.

Therefore, Ying Jie also participated in the pre-selection of several international competitions at other times, competing with others for the qualifications for the international competitions.

Because the Go League playoffs are divided into home and away games, they are not held collectively in one place, but are hosted by each team, and the visiting team goes to the host place to compete.

Judging from the competition plan formulated by the Chinese Chess Academy every year, there is generally no conflict between domestic competitions and the Go League A.

But if the game is postponed for various reasons, sometimes it is hard to say, after all, there will always be unexpected factors, and occasional conflicts are inevitable.

But it is more difficult to talk about international competitions, especially the world competitions held by other countries, which will inevitably not take care of China's competition time.

Most of the players in the Go League A, especially the main players, are going to participate in international competitions.

Once a conflict occurs, if two members of a siege team go to an international competition at the same time, this round of siege can be postponed.

But this kind of postponement is actually a one-day delay, so it often happens that the siege is done twice a week.

And because the schedule is very tight, and the current news dissemination is not as developed as in the Internet era, many chess fans have already left the staff after receiving the news and going to the game site, not to mention the game and professional players.

Coach Long Yan sat on the bus and clapped his hands as he watched the people listless due to the long-distance travel: "The last game in the capital should be very easy for everyone.

But part of the reason is that the opponent team owed half a year's salary, and the opponent looked a little listless.

But the Shandong team does not have this kind of situation now, everyone must not be tired because the distance is too long, but relax when playing chess. "

Since the birth of the Go League, the arrears of wages seem to have been accompanied by the development of the league.

In fact, it's not just Go, it seems to be the case in every sports industry.

Especially in the Go team, the team leader and coach are all acquaintances in the same industry, and there are often people who can't save face and ask for salary.

After all, most people do not rely entirely on the income of the Go League A. When they have money, most people will not choose to turn their faces.

However, in the post-90s period, some people rushed to the press conference to say that they owed wages, directly asked for wages online, and other means.

Although chess players have various means, but the reply is not sent out, the finances are busy, so wait a little bit.

This kind of first class is a matter of half a year or a year, and even waiting until the owner goes bankrupt is not unheard of.

Even for lease-type foreign aid like the Yellow River Ninth Duan, it is common for the "lease fee" to be owed.

When Wei Jia met Ying Jie before the ninth section of the Yellow River, he joked that he would not pay any money, and that he had no energy to play.

Everyone subconsciously touched the banknotes in their pockets.

Compared with other bosses, Mr. Pei is no longer a clear stream, it is simply a mudslide.

"But the Shandong team is different. Shandong has always done a good job in Go, especially in Go marketing.

Unlike other teams, they place their home games in provincial capitals or prefecture-level cities, and more often in counties.

And the marketing is very good, every time a lot of chess fans come over, everyone should be prepared.

Especially Xiao Xiao, a new player of the Shandong team. There is often a saying in the Go League A that newcomers are strong, and the opponent's record during this period should not be underestimated.

The reason is that most people don't understand the style of newcomers, but newcomers understand the way you old people play very well, so they are easy to be targeted. "

Hearing this, Ying Jie nodded. Although Xiao Xiao's strength has improved rapidly recently, it is still not enough for the main force of the first division.

The reason why he has won a lot recently is also because of his sudden birth, everyone doesn't know enough about Xiaoxiao, and the young people are making rapid progress, so some previous chess records are not enough for reference.

However, there is too much information about other elderly people, and their level has been fixed in many cases, so they are easy to be targeted.

If it's next year's Go League One, after everyone gets used to playing more, it will be difficult to have such an effect.

If Xiao Xiao doesn't hurry up and continue to make progress, then he probably won't be able to laugh anymore.
