"Mr. Chen, you can just take good care of your health at home, why don't you go to the chess court with all your troubles?
We will make arrangements for the Asian Games, and we have adopted all your opinions one by one. Why do you come here in person?"
Liu Mingchuan, the current director of the chess academy, stepped forward and helped the gray-haired old man sit on the sofa.
I respectfully ran to the hot water kettle next to me to get a glass of water, took out the tea that I would normally be reluctant to part with, brewed it, and handed it to the old man.
No matter how much respect he had for the first dean of the chess academy, Liu Mingchuan could not feel it was too much.
He achieved the goal set by Marshal Chen for Chinese Go and defeated Fuso Jiuduan.
The island nation of Kudan, now known as Mianjiu, was so powerful at the time that it overwhelmed the other two countries.
Chen Lao became the first Chinese to defeat Fuso 9th Dan.
During his reign as the director of the Chinese Chess Academy, he vigorously promoted Go, photographed related literary and artistic works, published books, and established systems, which led to the rapid growth of China's Go population.
Not only Go, but as the president of the Chinese Chess Academy, Mr. Chen proposed the four-move strategy for chess a long time ago, which profoundly affected the development of chess in the next ten years.
The words "hard work and hard work" are not enough to sum up his achievements.
"Is this year's selection about to begin?"
After Mr. Chen took a sip of tea, he felt that it was a little difficult to hold the enamel cup, so he could only put the cup aside.
Liu Mingchuan nodded when he heard this: "We will start next week. This time we are planning to select almost twenty people. Our main goal is to focus on the new generations born in the 1990s and 1995s.
In addition to those born in the 1990s like Shi Mingzhi and others who have begun to achieve results in international competitions, those born in the 1995s have also exploded with all their strength recently, producing many outstanding players.
Even though we are just starting out, we can see that there is unlimited potential.”
Hearing the news about the new generation, Mr. Chen couldn't help but smile: "I heard that there is a newcomer in Go recently. Lao Nie told me about it when he visited me before.
I have won many games since I was determined to be a dan this year, and I haven’t lost yet, and I have won several 9-dan games. It is said that my nickname in your chess academy now is the devil boy.”
Hearing this nickname, Liu Mingchuan couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, it's the nickname given by those guys.
The main reason is to play against this little guy. If you lose, the level loss will be too serious, and you won't be able to get it back even if you win several times.
Although the little guy has won many games in a row, his initial level score is relatively low, and he has only entered the top 100 now, which is really a depth bomb."
"Well, this also exposes some problems with the inadequacy of the grading system.
When there were problems with the ranking system, we thought of using level points to assist, but now we see that level points have a certain delay."
Liu Mingchuan nodded and expressed his opinion: "Although there is a certain delay, it is still the best solution at present.
After all, there is no perfect method in this world, there are still too few geniuses, and the ratings are still applicable to most chess players."
“But we must also give young chess players more opportunities.
I said before that I wanted to expand the scale of hosting the World Series qualifiers, how is the promotion going here?"
After hearing this, Liu Mingchuan quickly reported the situation: "The main thing is to discuss with the sponsors. After all, if we want to hold a large-scale pre-selection, they will have to pay more.
You also know that most sponsors are motivated by hobbies. No matter how much a private boss likes it, it is impossible to sponsor at all costs. Go is pretty good, but chess is even more difficult to sponsor.
We are also negotiating with some cities with rich cultural heritage to organize some competitions, and use Go to help them improve their city business cards. They can also pay to help us organize some competitions, which can be regarded as a win-win cooperation.
The main thing is Zhejiang Province. After all, the economic development is still in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. If you have money, you can talk about anything."
"If you can think of a way, please think of a way. The General Administration of Sports should ask grandpa and grandma to find a way to get some funding.
It turns out that we don’t have enough background, and we are afraid that the people who get upset are not strong enough, which will make the game that is already difficult to win even worse.
But now these new generations are emerging one by one. As the times change, we cannot remain conservative and must change according to the changes of the times.
Just like this Asian Games selection, I suggested that we let the new generation of chess players enter and then conduct selection.
One is to give newcomers a chance to exercise, and the other is that even if the newcomers are selected, it doesn't matter if they lose. More importantly, we need to look to the future.
We can finally slowly figure out the thickness now, but we still lack an indestructible sharp blade.
Fen VI Yu Lie, I hope there will be a chess player who can unify all directions like the First Emperor."
Just like the Go competition held in the Asian Games this time, China did not even dare to hold a single-player competition.
The three competitions of Go are men's team, women's team and mixed doubles, because everyone thinks that if there is a single competition, Gao Yongxia will win the gold medal in the end.
Lu Li seems to be able to compete with the opponent in the past two years, but in fact, he is easily manipulated by the opponent in major competitions.
Chinese Go lacks a real leader on the world's number one stage.
From myself to Lao Nie, Yu Xiaochun, Guangyin and Lu Li, the next generation is the real sixth generation.
Countless seniors have come and gone in order to truly leave the title of the world's number one player in Go's hometown, China.
If only I could see this day.
It can be considered a death without regrets.
Looking at the old Mr. Chen, Liu Mingchuan also had mixed feelings in his heart. This old man has really contributed too much to the cause of Chinese Go.
"Don't worry, you can definitely see that day."
"I also know my body. Just like Lu Youyou said, don't forget to report family sacrifices to Nai Weng. That's fine.
Smiling Jiuquan is no worse than No Regrets, haha."
Mr. Chen seems to be very tolerant. He already has stomach cancer, and the older he gets, the worse his health becomes.
It's a blessing to be able to hold on for another two or three years.
It’s difficult to watch the sixth generation come out.
I'm afraid I can only wait below with peace of mind like Mr. Ying.
But Mr. Chen believes that over the years, generations of people have worked hard.
It will definitely happen.
Mr. Chen seemed to have thought of something at this time: "By the way, there seems to be someone who is about to retire. He wants to retire and become the chairman of the association in two years. What do you think?"
"When you were here, you were the director of the Chess and Card Sports Management Center, the president of the Chinese Chess Academy, and the chairman of the Chinese Go Association.
It has already been separated now, and the people in each position are also different.
If he comes over when the time comes, he will take it as his own. The Weiqi Association is essentially a non-governmental organization. There is no profit in Go. Those who really want to make money will go to football. No one can come here to squeeze money from us poor people."
Liu Mingchuan didn't care when he heard this, and laughed and said a few words.
There is no need to worry about whether there is anything to be gained from the poor project of Go.
"Anyway, don't worry. When the time comes, I will definitely give him enough face. I beg grandpa to tell grandma about two competitions and get some results for him. He can just sit back and sit down."
It's impossible to cause any big trouble, and it's impossible to break up with us, so don't worry."
After hearing Liu Mingchuan's words, Mr. Chen also nodded.
It's just a normal personnel transfer.
It is impossible for a retired old man to destroy the layout and achievements he has made over several generations and decades overnight.
