Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI - Chapter 71 The 71st stage race begins!
Chapter 71 71. The fixed stage race begins!
In July 2009, after the four games of Jueyi spread all over the country, this account never appeared on the Weida Go website again.
CCTV even got a professional chess player to jointly challenge Jue Yi, and agreed to have a final two days later during the recording of a certain program.
But unfortunately, Jueyi did not keep the appointment and seemed to have completely disappeared.
Time will smooth out everything, the title battle, the China-Japan competition, the Three Kingdoms Arena Battle, the World Series. This year’s events have become extremely intensive, and everyone’s attention has been diverted to other places.
Except for top chess players, the sudden appearance of a unique skill is a surprise, and most chess fans have long forgotten about it.
Most chess fans are just amateur players, and some can’t even see ordinary professional chess, let alone more advanced chess records.
What few people know is that Gao Yongxia, the number one player in the world, locked himself in a room for a week after getting the four chess records. When he came out, he just shook his head.
At this time, Ying Jie was sitting in the dojo, listening to the principal’s pre-game mobilization.
“Let me first introduce to you the rules of this year’s stage races. First of all, there are some big changes.
This year’s men’s and women’s groups are divided into open group and women’s group. Among them, the open group qualifiers and this competition. In the open group of the 2008 National Go Ranking Competition, the top 50 players in this competition can directly enter this competition.
In other words, the two of us present, Xiao Xiao and Many Yangyang, can directly enter this competition, while everyone else has to start from the qualifiers.
Of course, I know that everyone is more concerned about the number of places this year.
Because this year, men and women will be divided into groups first. The top three admitted in the women’s group will be awarded the professional first-dan title. The top 13 admitted in the open group will be awarded the first-dan title. Starting from the 14th, it will be extended to the 20th. Four more will be admitted who are younger than 15 years old and born after 1994. Those who were awarded the title of First Dan. “
After hearing this, a huge discussion started immediately below.
“So that adds up to 20?”
“So many people admitted this year?”
“It’s almost doubled compared to last year!”
“Are men and women divided into groups?”
“It must be divided. If there is no distinction between professional players, they will all be men. It will really become a monk project.”
Qi Zhenxi, who was standing on the stage, looked at the people below Xixi yelling and slammed the table angrily: “Why are you arguing? Is there anything worth being happy about?
Even if 30 or 40 people are admitted, does it have anything to do with most of you? How many people in our dojo can participate in the fixed-stage competition this year? How many of the participants can become professionals?
Look in the mirror. If you don’t have a mirror, drink more water. If you don’t see what you look like, you still discuss and get excited. You’re so excited! “
“Teacher Qi, don’t be excited, don’t be excited.”
Seeing Qi Zhenxi getting angry, Yu Shengqin quickly comforted him: “What’s there to be angry about?”
“Let me talk about the qualifiers first. This year it will be hosted by Zhejiang and the competition will be held in Shaoxing, so we have to go there first.
Our dojo has seven places to participate this year, which are the top seven in terms of our promotion and relegation rankings in May. Of course, two people who directly entered this competition are excluded.
This list has been announced a long time ago, and I won’t read it again here. Of course, some students who have other channels to participate in the stage competition will also start with us.
Although this is not the first time, most of them are old classmates and have participated last year.
But what needs to be said still needs to be said.
From the moment we walked out of this dojo, this was not the usual round-robin competition within the group. If we lose, we just cry and it’s over. We will still be good friends tomorrow.
The fixed stage race is very cruel and very realistic. Everyone here now may be your competitor.
Even I tell you this! There are some of you who have a particularly good relationship, buddies. It is possible that the most important game between two people is in one round, and only one winner can successfully enter the professional world.
This is not alarmist, it is something that officially happens every year. Only those who win can continue to move forward, and those who lose can only come back here again, practicing chess day after day, year after year.
No one wants to be like this, but this is the cruelty of the professional world. I have seen people come aboard for two years, and I have also seen people have no choice but to go home after reaching their age. Some are lucky and some are unfortunate. Everyone understands these cruelties.
I also wish everyone who participates in this stage race good luck. “
After Yu Shengqin finished speaking, the students in the audience burst into warm applause.
Cugu Yun applauded and complained to Ying Jie next to him, “Old things are said like this every year, can’t we use a new word?
It’s so funny that it can’t be lit anymore. “
Hearing Cugu Yun’s complaints, Ying Jie couldn’t help but want to laugh, but he still held it back.
Looking at Ying Jie who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, Cugu Yun asked a little strangely: “Brother Jie, are you short-sighted?”
“No, the person you met before gave it to me. He said it looks better with glasses, plain glasses.”
Cugu Yun gave him a thumbs up and said, “You are indeed handsome. Brother Jie, you are very suitable for wearing glasses.
No, you were born to wear glasses. “
Ying Jie didn’t pay attention to Cugu Yun’s praise, but listened carefully to the teacher on the stage explaining the rules of the fixed stage competition in detail.
After all, the world is different, and Ying Jie can’t guarantee that the rules of this world are the same as the original world, so it’s right to listen more.
The qualifiers for this fixed stage competition are from July 11th to 15th. There are five rounds in total. The first one to win three rounds will advance to this competition.
The scheduled stage competition will be held from July 17th to 25th. It will adopt a point-based elimination system and the rounds will be determined separately.
Basically, they were all commonplace stuff, but in order to prevent some students from not listening carefully, the teachers printed out the competition regulations and gave each one a copy.
Even if you are not participating this year, if you want to enter the professional world, you must understand it in advance.
After everyone received the information, they all left the classroom in twos and twos.
“It’s really strange. In previous years, they would give us a surprise training, but this year they let us go freely?”
Cugu Yun asked a little strangely while holding the document in his hand.
According to the original personality of Teacher Qi, it would be good if they did not lock us in a small dark room for training. Today, they actually let us have a good rest and maintain a good attitude.
What’s the meaning? Could it be a terminal illness?
When Cugu Yun thought of this, his face suddenly turned pale. No way, I was angry with Teacher Qi this morning.
Damn it, I’m really not human!
Xiao Xiao looked at Cugu Yun with an expression that said everything was written on his face, and slapped him on the back of the head: “Don’t think about some strange things, it’s because the teachers said that we all made rapid progress this time. Everyone has the hope of success. In this case, there should be no pressure on me, just let us use our strength.”
Having said this, Xiao Xiao looked at Ying Jie who was walking in front and talking to Meng Yu.
When Ying Jie came to this dojo, he was like a catfish among a flock of sardines, as if a lion was thrown into a flock of sheep, with strong strength forcing everyone to move forward.
Even I can clearly feel the improvement in my strength.
This year, be sure to enter the professional world!
