Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 263: Old rules, playing chess on the boat!

"Boss Lu, Mr. Nie, can you listen to me?"

Shi Yu showed a confident expression.

"What's the matter?" the two turned around and asked.

"that is."

After all this and that, they were both stunned at the same time:

"Want to hold a new world tournament before the Yingshi Cup? It would be best to invite more Korean chess players?"

"Almost. Anyway, I want to play against Jiang Changhao once before the Yingshi Cup to get a feel for him.
It's like this, actually, I think I'm actually a very shy chess player. When I play against a new opponent for the first time, I always feel like I can't perform to my full potential, and I get better the second time."

These words silenced Nie Lan.

A shy chess player?
You fucking horse???
In Go, there is indeed such a thing as shy players.

In his early years, Jiang Changhao was very shy and was often defeated in the first game. It was not until the second game that he began to improve.

If you must say, Mr. Shen did it, and he firmly adhered to the creed of not killing unknown people.

But you said you are also a shy chess player. Who would believe that?

What's the difference between this and "Goblin rescued from the Knightess' lair"?
"Really? I'm really a shy chess player. Didn't you see the games between me and Liu Yonghuan? In the first game, I barely beat him by half a point. I struggled so much that I almost lost. Then I gradually got better."

Shi Yu said confidently.

"You" Nie Lan continued to choke.

Why did you have to cite Liu Yonghuan, the person you controlled infinitely, when there were so many other examples to cite?
The key is that what this person said makes a lot of sense.

The subsequent victory seemed to have proved that Shi Yu was indeed very good at beating Liu Yonghuan, just like a village tyrant manipulating a bamboo rat at will.

But he only won half a point in the first game, which seemed to prove that Shi Yu was afraid of strangers.
No, this is something that cannot be thought about too deeply. If you go any deeper, you will fall into a huge bug that contradicts theory and reality, which will lead to chaotic thinking and self-collapse.

"Okay, it would be nice to play a game with Jiang Changhao before the Yingshi Cup. I heard that your review skills are very high. That's enough. But I can't spare the time. I heard that this Yingshi Cup is very special and the schedule will be very tight. It will basically start in early May and be completed by mid-month.

And before May, there are other matches scheduled, so even if we have enough funds, we can’t specially add a match for you.”

Go competitions are not like the goods on the shelves of European supermarkets, which can be automatically refreshed as long as you have money. They require coordination among many parties and are very time-consuming.

"Shi Yu, if you really want to compete with Jiang Changhao and have a preliminary battle, I can arrange an invitational tournament for you and him." Boss Lu said.

Invitational tournament is indeed a good idea, it appoints students one-on-one and saves time, effort and process.

The only bad point is that [Playing Chess in Dreams] does not recognize this and only recognizes official competitions.

Its definition of a formal competition requires a sufficient number of contestants and a certain level of intensity.

It seems to be designed specifically to prevent invitational tournament card bugs.

Fortunately, there are thousands of bugs in the world, and you can always find one if you want to.

Shi Yu continued to smile and shook his head: "It's okay, even if I can't play the regular games, I can still play other games."

It's still the same, like this, like this, Shi Yu whispered.

Boss Lu and Nie Lan fell silent again.

You boy.
The ancient Greek god of chaos?
Chaos, the ancient Greek god in charge!
Winter is gone, spring is here, the snow is melting, everything is reviving
The flow of time suddenly accelerated, everyone became busy again, the sunlight became stronger and stronger, and all things became visible.

After the Lantern Festival, Shi Yu quickly went to the chess academy to participate in new training activities.

Because of this, he hasn't been on the air for a long time.

Fortunately, he is still active on Yihu on time every night, fighting with various powerful people at a high intensity, so that the majority of Chaos Cult followers can dream of their quilts being filled with his chess pieces.

"Report! Shi Yu and Lu Sizhu are facing off, everyone come quickly!"

"Okay! I'll open the live broadcast in the viewing room right now!"

Zhan Ying excitedly opened their game room and led everyone to start playing together.

After Shi Yu left, her live streaming career became even more prosperous.

In addition to the fact that all the traffic was transferred to her, the most important thing was that she could watch Shi Yu play chess live!

"Come on, come on, everyone, watch this, this is the best CP in our chess world, a wonderful match between Shi Yu and Lu Sizhu, this is a rare opportunity, don't miss it."

"Come on, these two interact with each other online chess quite frequently, we can see it from time to time."

"Shut up! Stop ruining the atmosphere. Don't you see that everyone is concentrating and getting into the game?"

After Shi Yu ended his decadent fan fiction life, shut down his live broadcast, and focused on training, he clearly got into the groove.

During the Spring Festival, I would occasionally lose a few games, but now I have managed to relax and control myself freely.

For example, this game of chess between him and Lu Sizhu is very representative.

After this guy gained a huge advantage, he started to play tricks on Lu Sizhu, hanging around in front of him and refusing to make any saves.

After Lu Sizhu finally swallowed the dragon with great effort, Shi Yu caught it with just a few precise glances.

Lu Sizhu left the game room.

"Shi Yu, what????"

"Let's burn incense for Shi Yu in advance."

"Don't say anything more. Let's go to Beihai Park tomorrow morning to try to catch Shi Yu."

Soon, Lu Sizhu returned to the game room.

"Ah this???"

"I understand. He shut down Yihu in anger, but after calming down, he felt that he couldn't just let it go, so he came back."

"The new attribute of the Deer Queen, the awakening of tsundere, it's done!"

"The little deer is becoming more and more like a big deer"

Today’s live broadcast was as good as always.

But before long, the comments turned to other topics:
"Teacher Zhan, Teacher Zhan, the Women's Weiqi League is about to start again. Are you willing to participate this time?"

Zhan Ying frowned: "What do you mean by whether I am willing to participate? It's as if if I am willing to go, then they will definitely let me go."

"I understand! It's not that I don't want to play, but no team wants me to play!"

"How dare you! Our Zhan is not for sale to the Shanxi team. Her contract has been under the corner of the boss's desk for many years, acting as a stabilizing force."

"Mr. Zhan, Mr. Zhan, Shi Yu said that you are different from other Go players. Anyone who beats you in online or face-to-face Go will contribute to the promotion of Go. What do you think?"

Zhan Ying: "Let me take a look. Look at your size. There are so many things for me to see in one day. Can I see them all?"

"Teacher Zhan, can you tell us about the recent results of the chess academy's training? The children would love to hear it."

"Hey? You've asked the right person. Come on, I'll tell you in a low voice what's going on recently."

Zhan Ying lowered her voice and spoke stealthily, and everyone listened with great interest.

After all, with the existence of the Ying Cup, this year is particularly special.

This is just like an athlete fighting hard in the Olympic year. Similarly, the Yingshi Cup held every four years is also an opportunity for many chess players to change their destiny.

No matter you were defeated 6:0 in the past, or were constantly involved in black activities and your status was as low as a trash can, as long as you can win the championship in one fell swoop, all your black history will disappear.

Under this kind of motivation, chess players naturally became eager to compete, and chess fans also discussed it heatedly.

In the past, if everyone wanted to know about the players’ preparations, they could basically only rely on the nonsense from the uncle party and the likes of Kinoshita Kitsune.

But now with Zhan Ying, everything is different.

Although she is now away from the competition and doesn't train much, with her powerful network of contacts, she must have spies all over the chess academy!
Under Zhan Ying's vivid description, the chess players seemed to have entered a training state comparable to that of the Asian Games. All of them were in top form and did not lose a single training game.

"If you don't understand, just ask. Since everyone didn't lose a single game in the training match, then who didn't win a single game?" "Ah, this." Zhan Ying was suddenly stunned by the question.

Although everyone just looks at her for fun.

But if you want to have fun, you really have to watch her.

Time continues to move forward, from the end of February to mid-March, willow catkins are flying in the air, giving a unique sense of spring in the Asian region.

"The Yingshi Cup schedule is out! This competition is very different from previous ones!"

Jiang Tianqi pushed open the door and waved a notice.

Although everyone wanted to complain about the era in which people were still waving traditional paper notification pages, they still took it and took a look out of curiosity.

"Fuck! This time the Ying Cup is held on a boat. I can pass it in one go!"

Shi Yu also took it and took a look.

One can only sigh that ordinary chess players only do small things and at best contribute a few jokes to the forum.

If we really want to plan a major operation, we have to look at the arrangements from above.

The venue for this Yingshi Cup is not one or several cities.

Instead, they boarded a luxury cruise ship, departing from a Japanese port, passing through South Korea, the mainland, Formosa, and finally stopping in Singapore, the venue of the first Yingshi Cup final.

All the competitions are naturally completed on the boat.

Enjoy the blue sea and sky, as well as the black and white along the way.

It can be said that this is the first time in the history of chess that the sea is used as the stage.

"Fuck! Go on the sea! The lineup is full!"

"This sense of ritual blows up all the Japanese Go games."

"Hurry, we must not let Shi Yu get on board! Otherwise, this ship will definitely be like the one in Detective Conan the Movie, and it may suddenly collapse at any time!
Don't ask me why it was him and not someone else. Is this the first day for the person who asked this question to play Go? "

Others talked about it with great interest and were all excited.

Shi Yu was also quite moved.

Fortunately, this is not some superpower Go comic, otherwise the ship would have sunk on the day of the finals.

Playing chess at sea is certainly very high-class and attractive, but he is more concerned about another piece of news.

He continued to flip through the pages and soon found the message he wanted to see.

"Huh? There's a fancy-pants event before the competition starts?" Shi Yu smiled victoriously.

"Same color chess game?"

In South Korea, everyone was stunned when they saw the news for the first time.

In addition to the main competition of the Yingshi Cup, a same-color chess competition will also be held, which also has a prize money, and the amount is quite considerable.

However, the places in this competition are not awarded through selection, but through popularity voting.

Eight popular chess players will be selected through voting by chess fans to participate in this same-color chess competition.

this.
"What the hell! Why do I smell Shi Yu's scent again!"

Cui Du's scalp tingled.

That’s right, this is indeed the bug-blocking tactic that Shi Yu proposed before.

Same color chess refers to playing chess with chess pieces of the same color. When there are more chess pieces, the whole chessboard is of the same color, which is very confusing and tests the memory ability of the chess player.

This method of playing the game has obviously existed since ancient times.

But the first time Shi Yu saw it was in "The Divine Hand 2".

A Korean Go movie that has very high frequency of chess playing but has little to do with Go, but is nonetheless very physical.

Same color chess is very similar to blind chess, but obviously not as perverted as blind chess.

If you really want to play blind chess, even without a fierce battle, it is difficult to play more than 150 moves, which greatly affects the viewing experience.

As for chess pieces of the same color, at least the chessboard and chess pieces are physical, and sometimes the black and white can be clearly determined just by the shape of the chess pieces, making it easier for chess players to fight.

Only in this way will the other chess players be interested in participating and form a lineup of sufficient level and number.

To be honest, Shi Yu had seriously considered participating in a drunken chess competition.

But after thinking about it, this thing is too obviously anti-human, not subtle at all, so I just forget it.

Of course, even so, the pieces of the same color are already chaotic enough, making people's eyes bright but also dark.

"A game on the boat, a game of the same color, and the first prize is 15. Isn't this game too interesting?"

Thinking of this, Liu Yonghuan suddenly felt heartbroken:

"Shit! Why do I feel like this competition is prepared for Shi Yu again?"

Now I have to start looking up old things again.

From the classic Shinlong Cup, the classic Go Saint War, to the most recent Yingshi Cup, how come you have caught up with all the great competitions?
Is your sponsor your biological father or your father-in-law?

"Damn it! I have to rely on voting to be selected. Am I the kind of comedian who can attract attention and gain popularity? This is simply targeting me!"

Li Xiantie suddenly became furious.

Cui Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, buddy, have some self-awareness. You will definitely win the popularity vote."

Li Xiantie: “?”

Although it is a voting, only two people can be selected from each region, and the mainland and Formosa are counted separately.

On the Taiwan side, Xu Xian has a stable quota, and there is still one unknown.

Shi Yu is as stable as can be. The other spot depends on whether Lu Sizhu can qualify. If he can't, then it will definitely be Gu Shengshan.

Japanese side, Iyama, unknown.

Han Fang, Lee Hyun-cheol, and Kang Chang-ho.

Results at a glance.

Others had no complaints either.

The champion only gets 15 yuan, which is of course a huge sum of money for low-level chess players, but for chess players who are eligible to be voted in, it is basically just a small bonus, and they may just treat the game as an exhibition.

"15! Here I come!"

When Li Xiantie heard that he was on the right track, he became furious.

"Okay, I almost forgot, among a group of world and national champion chess players, there is a poor guy like you. You just won the runner-up in the last New Year Cup and got 40." Cui Du covered his face.

Compared to the prize for the same-color chess pieces, everyone was obviously more interested in playing chess on the boat.

Novel, solemn and full of ritual sense.

This is an unprecedented experience, and perhaps it will never happen again, which indirectly shows that it is of great value.

And the location of this final is Singapore.

This is where South Korea won the Yingshi Cup for the first time.

The place where dragons rise!

"The game is about to begin," Jiang Changhao murmured softly as he looked at the upcoming start date.
