After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 159 158. Bad Chess Player
"Except for the first day when Miyamoto Kyudan was not in good condition for some reason and played a little badly at the beginning, he played very well from beginning to end in the next four games.

No matter it was the two games against Zhang Qidan and Wang Badan, or the two games against Wu Yuanmin Jiudan and Nanru Jiudan, he never gave any chance from beginning to end.

The situation on the chessboard is firmly controlled by the opponent, and it can be said that there is no way we will win."

At nine o'clock in the evening, the training room of the Chinese Go national team was still brightly lit. Most of China's top players gathered here to discuss the exchange competitions during this period.

The official visit of the Japanese Go delegation to China lasts for seven days. The arrangement is that each Japanese player plays one game of Go per day. Now it is the fifth day.

Regardless of China or Japan, most people in the exchange group have won and lost, but there are some exceptions who have not lost a single game so far.

The one who won five consecutive games on the Japanese side is Miyamoto Kyudan, and on the Chinese side, there are Zhan Lang and Fang Yuan, both of whom won five consecutive games.

Therefore, the Chinese Go national team directly launched a collective research on Miyamoto, the only Japanese player who won five consecutive games.

I was thinking about how to win at least one game against the opponent in the next two games and prevent the opponent from leaving with a complete victory.

Collective research can be said to be a tradition of Chinese Go. It involves discussing a particular player, analyzing and discovering the opponent's weaknesses, and simulating the opponent's style of play in order to defeat the opponent.

It can be said that the system of collective research helped China defeat many powerful enemies and later promoted the development of many talented young people.

Miyamoto Kyudan, who performed the most brilliantly in the China-Japan exchange competition this time, naturally became the object of collective research by the Chinese national team.

See if you can discuss some of your opponent’s weaknesses so you can make targeted moves.

"Miyamoto likes to build a big battle pattern, which is something we rarely encounter, so we are a little uncomfortable with it. This is also one of the reasons why we didn't perform well."

"This is secondary. The main thing is that Miyamoto is indeed very balanced. I haven't found any obvious weaknesses. If you want to beat him, I think you have to either use brute force to break through and make miracles happen with flying bricks, or completely suppress him from the beginning and don't give him any chances."

"The two points you mentioned are a bit too difficult, aren't they? It makes no difference whether you said them or not."

"He likes the appearance of construction, so we will do the opposite and take away the actual land."

"Didn't Nanru Jiudan try it before? He didn't succeed in scooping it out first and then washing it."

"From this point of view, Miyamoto Kyudan is still very strong."

"The main reason is that he is in such good shape, from the layout to the middle game, everything is smooth.

Otherwise, the Nanru Ninth Dan and the others wouldn't have been able to say that there were no setbacks, and the difference in strength between the Ninth Dan wouldn't have been that big."

"It's true that they are strong, but what Miyamoto said was really irritating. What does it mean that all Chinese are just lousy chess players?

I wanted to punch him twice to let him know why there are black pieces in Go."

As they were talking, someone couldn't help but start complaining.

Although it is true that it cannot be defeated, it is a bit too much to say this.

Zhan Lang shook his head when he heard this: "They can naturally say such things if they win. In the current situation, we can only listen to what they say. What else can we do?"

Who among the greatest people in history doesn’t like to make sarcasm?

When Li was interviewed, he said that Chinese chess players were afraid of Korea and had poor psychological quality. Li even asked Dali to stand up and said, "I am not targeting anyone. I am saying that all the Chinese people here are just playboys and none of them can play chess."

What Lao Ke is talking about is a bunch of bad chess players, and the bad chess aerosol virus is known to the world.

Zhan Lang has never had any objection to the sarcasm before and after the game. After all, the antagonistic nature of Go on the board is basically invisible to outsiders.

Both sides thought that their competition was very intense, like a roller coaster, but the people watching the game couldn't see it at all.

Especially in this era without artificial intelligence, without AI winning rate, we can’t even watch the fun.

If we can't think of a way to increase the level of confrontation and stir up some heat, Go will really not attract anyone at all.

So it’s just like the trash talk before a lot of boxing matches, with everyone poking and pushing each other, it’s more about creating an atmosphere and making the audience more involved, and wanting to join in the fight themselves.

The same is true for Go. When you were strong, you mocked others. Later, when your strength declined, you were mocked back by others. It can only be said that this is the cycle of nature.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, the Koreans’ ridicule means that they are capable and are telling the truth, while Lao Ke said that he is just a person without quality.

Is it cheap?

Too cheap!
"We won, so we can naturally taunt back. So now what we should think about is how to beat Miyamoto Kyudan, this is the most urgent task.

If we beat him, all his previous bullshit will be bullshit, but if we let him win all seven games, then we will all be really bad chess players."

"That's right, there are only two games left, Zhan Lang and Fang Yuan."

Chen Long nodded when he heard this. The last two people to play must be the strongest in China and the most likely to defeat Miyamoto.

Everyone else basically has to stand aside.

But to be honest, the two of them only have a 50% chance of winning at most.

"Which of you two will go on stage first tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Fang Yuan did not hesitate: "Let Zhan Lang go first, I will be the last one."

It’s not that Fang Yuan doesn’t dare to go on stage first, but the one who goes on stage last is under the most pressure, and will also be the one who receives the most criticism after losing.

Many times, people don’t care how much they lost before, but only care about why they didn’t hold on in the last game?
If Zhan Lang loses, he will be the last line of defense, carrying China's last hope and pressure.

But there is no way, this is the responsibility of China's number one Go player.

The burden of playing Go in 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions and 4 municipalities is on my shoulders! If all Chinese Go players are lousy, then it's not your turn to say that!
Chen Long nodded when he heard this and had no objection. After all, in his opinion, Fang Yuan's strength and psychological quality must be stronger: "Okay, then Zhan Lang will go first tomorrow, and Fang Yuan will have his last day."

Zhan Lang didn't have any idea about the organization's arrangement: "Then I'll test the waters tomorrow, but Brother Fang, you haven't figured out one thing."

"what?"

"The finale is the second to last one to appear, so I am the one who performs the finale."
