Chapter 77 76. Chess Holy War
"Coach Long Yan?"
I originally thought it was Ying Jie who served from the room service, but when I opened the door, it was Long Yan, the coach of my club.
Why is this guy here?
Long Yan himself was not polite at all. He walked directly in and sat on the sofa in the living room. He patted the armrest of the sofa curiously like a child.
"Shen Yilang, this guy spent a lot of money to rent you a three-star hotel. I thought you would stay in a guest house."
Ying Jie took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator next to him and handed it to Long Yan. Hearing this, he replied: "It is said that when I stayed at that kind of express hotel last year, there was that strange sound in the room next to me at night. As a result, many students did not sleep well at night, resulting in poor performance and many lost the game.
This made Teacher Qi extremely regretful, so we negotiated this year and would rather live a little further away or find a better hotel, especially one with good soundproofing to ensure students' rest."
After downing a can of iced Coke, Long Yan squinted his eyes and lay on the sofa: "It's good. I've never stayed in such a good hotel. If I went to a place like this before, it would be for decoration."
I know you used to work as a decorator and your experience is legendary. There is no need to talk about it every day.
Looking at Long Yan lying on his sofa, Ying Jie asked helplessly: "So what are you here for? If I remember correctly, there are no amateur competitions in Zhejiang recently."
Long Yan finished the can of Coke within a few sips: "There is no amateur competition, but there is a chess holy war.
This year is the Chess Holy War hosted by Quzhou, which is quite close to here. I originally wanted to go over and see if Guangyin's boy can kill Lu Li and get the Chess Holy War today.
It just so happens that you and Xiao Fan are both here, so I took a stroll from here."
Quzhou Yingjie naturally knew that the word "Lan Ke" in Go originated from this place. The nearest world competition before he traveled through time was the Lan Ke Cup World Series.
As the first world competition to resume face chess in several years, Ying Jie is actually quite regretful that he did not see the birth of the first world champion.
But I didn’t expect that the Chess Holy War in this world would be held in Quzhou. You know, because the prize money for this competition is 800,000, it is often impossible to find sponsors.
In addition, there is no need to pay money for domestic competitions, and the actual rewards that chess players get are almost as much as those in ordinary world competitions.
The current reigning chess master in this world is Lu Li. He took away the title of chess master from Guang Yin 9th Dan before. This year, Guangyin 9th Dan broke through the siege in the hands of many countries, got the right to challenge, and challenged Lu Li 9th Dan again.
It can be considered a battle of revenge.
However, although Ying Jie is very interested in the chess holy war, if he remembers correctly, there are no qualifiers for several title matches in this world.
All require that champions who have won domestic or international competitions within the past year can directly participate in the competition. Based on this, invitations will be made from top to bottom based on the level, and 32 contestants will be collected.
Therefore, the title battle is still quite far away from Ying Jie. Let’s take a look at the nearby armor first.
"It seems that Hongyang didn't make it to the finals of B."
Hearing this, Long Yan shook his head: "If nothing else, he should be in third place."
"In the semi-finals, Lao Zhang made a mistake and gave up after winning the game, which made the boss very angry."
Theoretically speaking, it is easy for professional chess players to count the number of moves at the official stage.
But in fact, in many cases, the official stage of professional competitions is also very complicated. In addition, most of the time the official stage enters the countdown. Players do not have much time to make detailed calculations, and miscalculations often occur.
There are several interesting cases of miscalculation.
For example, during the game, I forgot that the Korean rules were six and a half and I thought it was the Chinese rules and I gave up on the seventh set.
If you count incorrectly, you will have to admit defeat if you win the chess piece.
The most famous one is of course the final of the Dream Lily Cup that year. Xiao Li thought he lost when he made the correct call, and Nicole thought she lost when she made the wrong call.
Both sides thought they had lost, and then looked at the other side's dejected face, maybe feeling that the other side was mocking them.
"So the boss directly bought a Weijia team, and also packaged it up and bought the other company directly..."
"..."
I know that there are people who buy teams, but this is the first time I heard that there are people who buy teams, and by the way, they also buy other companies.
"Modu Tengda Team should now be called Shanxi Tengda.
The boss also has a problem. Instead of doing something as promising as coal mining, why not invest in some Internet company?
The most outrageous thing is that this packaged company makes smartphones? If you think about it, you will know that everyone now has a computer, and even a laptop. Who has nothing to do but carries a mobile phone with duplicate functions?
Laughing to death,
PHS is so convenient, and it’s free to make phone calls. It’s really too much money, and it’s a waste.”
Listening to Long Yan's complaint, Ying Jie didn't know what to say for a moment.
I was originally worried that in a few years when environmental protection would become a mainstream policy, the career of coal bosses would be severely affected.
I always feel that I am worrying too much, and this boss is acting a bit like the protagonist of a great novel.
No, it should be said that the money of rich people seems to have the ability to reproduce.
Ying Jie had never thought of going to West Lake to talk to a man named Ma about life and ideals, and inviting him to dinner.
But think carefully about other people’s family conditions.
Even if you traveled back in time to when he first started his business, you would have to have a millionaire to be willing to talk about life and ideals with you.
No money, what can we talk about without money?
If you don’t have money, banks are like pawn shops, let alone you bragging to them.
He is willing to talk to you about life, and the prerequisite for talking about ideals is that you have money.
The only way to go back in time that seems feasible is to buy Bitcoin. Ying Jie doesn't dare to buy more. Who knows if the world will be trapped in this and another currency will emerge.
Looking at the silent Ying Jie, Long Yan thought that the other person agreed with his idea, so he held the PHS in his hand and talked about the trend of the times.
Adhering to the idea of 2023, Ying Jie really couldn't bear to listen: "So you came here this time to tell me about the Siege A competition?"
"Well, when you decide on a segment this time, we will sign a contract immediately and submit your name. The siege competition will begin at the end of August.
Of course, this is actually not important. What is important is that you are about to face a heavyweight opponent, a heavyweight that you may not be able to encounter in the siege."
Hearing Long Yan's words, Ying Jie was a little confused. What is the untouchable weight on the armor?
The former No. 1 player in the world even played against Team 4 of Weijia. He looked down on Team 4!
Do you know what the Four Gods of War are?
Long Yan looked at Ying Jie, who was not in a hurry at all, and suddenly lost the fun of showing off: "At the opening ceremony of the Chess Master Tournament, that kid Guangyin said that he would participate in this year's new preliminary competition.
With his position as a player, the person he will face in the new preliminary stage will definitely be this year's top pick, and the eighth grader will be you.
How about it, are you excited to play against Guang Yin, who ranks second in real-time rating in China?"
