Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 282. 281. Retirement Ceremony

"Congratulations first, not only the gold medal in the Asian Games, but also a big chess player, a national player, and a chess master. You are now the top three."

Hearing this, Ying Jie said indifferently: "We are still short of Tianyuan and celebrities, and the schedule conflicts. The achievement of Wuqi Chaoyuan can only be saved for next year."

After the Asian Games ended, the challenge for the two titles started directly.

Ying Jie still had zero seals against the two seniors and won the other two titles.

And, of course, the bonuses that come with titles.

It has to be said that the prize money for chess jihad is really high.

When Fan Ruoyu heard this, her fists hardened: "Damn, do you really want to take all the titles?"

There are a total of five titles in China, so there is no way out, right?

"If only the World Series was like a title fight, defending it.

In this way, you don't have to work hard and keep competing, just wait for others to challenge you. "

"If it is the defending challenge system, then it is too easy to accumulate world championships like this."

It is not at all difficult to go from the top 64 to the finals and win the world championship three times. It is not at all difficult to lie on the last level and wait for someone to play chess with you to win the championship.

After all, in single elimination, anyone who is not paying attention may be eliminated at any time.

Therefore, in various world competitions, and even ordinary national competitions, it is rare to see people winning consecutive titles, but some people often win five consecutive championships and seven consecutive championships.

This is one of the characteristics brought about by the defending challenge system. It is easier for the holder of the previous title to win with ease.

It was also Ying Jie's five titles that Fan Ruoyu was most worried about.

It's already very difficult to win Ying Jie, but in this move,
At that time, it will be really difficult to snatch food from the tiger's mouth after all the hardships.

After going through 81 hardships to the West Paradise, then Jielai Buddha directly sent you to the West Paradise.

The mentality is really broken.

"Guangyin [-]th Dan is sure to retire?"

Gu Shaoshang on the other side nodded: "It seems like this, when the age is reached, the state has indeed begun to decline.

He didn't have any good results in this year's World Series, and he did a little better in the Asian Games. "

Although Gao Yongxia had a round trip, Guangyin's ninth dan was obviously not much better.

Even Lu Li's [-]th Dan seems to have started to weaken after winning a championship. He has not reached the top four in the recent World Series.

"A new generation replaces the old."

"Is there a retirement ceremony supposed to be held?"

"It seems to be. It is said that someone has been found to sponsor it."

There is no clear retirement ceremony for normal Go players to end their careers.

Many top chess players will stop participating in professional competitions such as the World Series when they are not at their peak. They may have the opportunity to participate in the World Series and will give it up to other rookies.

Then quietly faded out of people's sight.

Occasionally participate in one or two invitational games, although the rating is still on the list of active chess players, everyone agrees that they have retired.

This is true in reality. Basically, most of them start working behind the scenes at this stage, serving as the chairmen of some local Go associations or engaging in some related Go education activities.

And Guangyin Jiudan directly held a retirement ceremony this time, which really means that the game has been completely closed.

Say goodbye to the professional world for good.

You may not necessarily participate in invitational tournaments and the like later on.

As for the sponsors who supported this retirement event, Guangyin Jiuduan has been in the business for more than ten years at least, and still has many rich fans.

Make a retirement ceremony and sprinkle water.

Ying Jie finally confirmed that Mr. Pei is really not the only sponsor of Chinese Go.

"It was also said earlier that someone wanted to sponsor Gao Yongxia and Lu Li's [-]-dan jubanqi."

When Gu Shaoshang heard this, he shook his head: "It's just a rumor, but the ten times of these two people can't be dealt with without tens of millions.

The championship bonus must be at least a few million, right?Adding in all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, it is estimated that it will cost more than several World Series.

Sponsors for the World Series are hard to find, but this one. "

"Maybe one day the sponsors will be coaxed, and they will do it as soon as they pay for it."

After all, the sponsors of Chinese Go are really all for love, and they really love the project of Go.

If one day the day is cool, or the drink at the wine table is cool, just slap your head, maybe it will be done right away.

Power generation for love is so regardless of cost.

As for the sponsorship of the Weiqi project, Ying Jie can't even think about it.

too difficult.

Although Chinese football is regarded as a national disgrace, it is really a professional sport and can really make money.

Although Go also imitates the professionalization of football, it has cultivated a group of talents and emerged a group of excellent players.

However, compared with the natural advantages of football as the "world's number one sport", the market is very different.

It is too difficult to realize.

"This time I retired, it is said that I found the top chess players from China, Japan and South Korea, and each played a game."

"Fusang's side must be Jing Shanguang, Korea's high probability should be Gao Yongxia, and China's side.

Yu Liang?Lu Li?Yellow River? "

Gu Shaoshang reported several names in a row, and the other two countries were players from the other two countries when Guangyin fought in the Beidou Cup.

From this point of view, it is more likely that Yu Liang, who was also a teammate of the Chinese team at the time, was nine-dan.

However, as China's No.1 surpassing Guangyin, Lu Li Jiuduan also has a great possibility.

Needless to say, the ninth section of the Yellow River, it is said that the two people came out of the same dojo.

"..."

Looking at the expressions of his teammates thinking hard, Ying Jie asked a little embarrassedly: "Is no one guessing me?"

"you?"

When Fan Ruoyu heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Ying Jie, although you are now No.1 in China, there is no commemorative value for you.

……

Damn, what do you mean?underestimate me?

"Sorry, I'm the one invited by China."

Ying Jie couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Can we not just consider the commemoration?Be realistic, can't you see the typical No.1 of China, Japan and South Korea?

Who is China No.1 now?Do you still need to ask?

Guangyin Jiuduan even called personally at that time.

If Ying Jie gave it to him for the first time, then let Ying Jie give him the last one.

……

Ying Jie always felt that there was some ambiguity in this sentence. Are all Go players so abstract?

"Then how much is your appearance fee for the invitational tournament?"

Fan Ruoyu asked gossipingly, Ying Jie is also No.1 in China after all, the game fee should not be low, right?
No matter what, there should be 5 to 10.

"40."

"..."

"JPY?"

"won?"

"Zimbabwe dollars?"

Listening to the words of the three teammates, Ying Jie said with a straight face: "On the land of China, I don't want to exchange my wealth with other currencies."

PS: I went to the hospital and ran back and forth late, sorry
