Accompanying System: The Ultimate Star Mysterious Master

In the Shenzhou Continent, Xianyan City is known as the holy land of Go and is a place that many Go enthusiasts are fascinated by.

Whenever the Chess King Tournament is held, the whole city is packed and lively. People who come to watch chess can not only watch the masters' duel, but also participate in the preliminaries to test their own chess skills.

Moreover, in the soundproof formation, players can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the game of Go without being disturbed by other factors, and can also experience the wonder of being in an aerial arena.

The so-called aerial arena refers to a arena with ten thousand people suspended in mid-air. It is a temporary transparent platform that can accommodate ten thousand people and is built directly above Xianyan City using a special formation artifact. The platform can be used for pedestrians.

, and also provide special chess pieces for contestants to play, and come with an all-round monitoring array with no blind spots.

The Chess King Tournament lasts for fifteen days and is divided into eight rounds in total. In chronological order, they are preliminaries, chess players competition, chess players competition, chess master competition, chess masters competition, chess generals competition, semi-finals and what is called the chess king challenge.

The final of the competition.

Except for the eighth round of finals, which lasts for one day, the previous seven rounds last for two days.

The competition will be divided into pairs according to the players' chess skills.

The Chess King Tournament stratifies the chess strength of all chess players. According to the level of chess strength, they are divided into five levels: lower level, middle-lower level, middle level, middle-upper level and upper level.

The so-called pairwise allocation usually means that before the preliminaries, more than 2,000 upper-level chess players with the highest chess skills are designated to play against the lower-level chess players with the lowest chess skills. This two-pole showdown is a test and frustration for the lower-level chess players with low chess skills.

Players may give up Go from now on, or they may become more courageous with every setback, catch up and make continuous progress.

Because the lower chess players have low chess skills, they are not aware of the horror of the upper chess players to a certain extent. It can be said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Often, the lower chess players give up before the upper chess players show their true strength, and the reasons for their losses are unclear.

Therefore, there is no way to make the upper-level chess players take it seriously. To the upper-level chess players, this is nothing more than an old man playing with a naughty boy.

The chess players ranked in the middle level need to face the chess strength suppression of the middle and upper level players or the competition between the middle level chess players; the middle and lower level chess players have to face the chess strength crushing by the middle level chess players and the middle and upper level chess players.

This is the famous "folded chess" principle used by the Shenzhou chess community in the chess king competition - first record the chess strength of all contestants, and then arrange them in order from low to high chess strength, and draw them on a long

On the white paper, use the middle-level chess players as the central axis, fold the paper, distribute it in pairs, and play folding games. If you find unreasonable places, you must flexibly modify the local parts to ensure that the strongest chess player can take over.

down game.

The principle of folding chess is very applicable to competitions involving thousands of people, such as the Chess King Tournament. It is conducive to the selection of chess players to generals, thereby selecting the strongest player to compete for the throne of chess king.

However, the principle of folding chess is not perfect. It still has certain shortcomings due to the influence of chess strength appraisal and other aspects. Therefore, it needs to keep pace with the times and continuously enrich itself in order to adapt to the ever-changing future.

Xi'er already understands these rules very clearly.

Starting from the two-day preliminaries, nearly three-quarters of the contestants will be eliminated from more than 10,000 people on the first day. There will be two chess games a day and one game in the morning. After half of the contestants are eliminated, the competition officials will

The remaining chess players are re-stratified in chess strength, and then distributed in pairs according to the principle of folded chess.

A participating chess player must play two games every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and then have a full day off the next day, except in special circumstances, such as a draw or elimination.

The eliminated players can only stay and watch the game.

If a chess player scores a draw, he will not be able to rest the next day. In order to determine the winner, he will have to play another game. If it is a draw again and his chess skills are up to standard, he does not need to continue playing chess with the same player and directly participate in the next game.

Chess, of course the chance of a draw again is slim.

The so-called chess skill standard means that the chess players who participate in the chess master competition must have a chess skill of Wise or above; those who participate in the chess master competition, their chess skills must be Guangbo or above; those who participate in the chess general competition, their chess strength must be at least Guangbo or above.

Divine help.

On the first day, Xi'er met a chess player whose chess skills were only average in the first game. It didn't take long, less than a quarter of an hour, before the opponent gave up.

She originally wanted to take advantage of her victory to see Ying Tianqi, the descendant of the chess god, because she didn’t know what Ying Tianqi looked like. But after taking a few steps, she found that there were too many people playing chess and even more people watching.

, trying to find Ying Tianqi but not knowing Ying Tianqi is like trying to catch a flounder named Xiao Ming in the sea. It is really a foolish dream. Either give up this idea directly, or look for clues.

Hi! Sister Xi.

A clear voice suddenly sounded behind Xi'er.

Xi'er turned around and found that the person who called him was actually Gu Liyan.

"Sister Gu, you finished the game so quickly. That's right. The chess players we met before are all very weak."

After saying that, Xi'er walked towards Gu Liyan, and suddenly she noticed that there was someone beside Gu Liyan.

The man was dressed in black and white robes and wore a white mask on the upper right side of his face. He was extremely handsome and talented, and was half a head taller than Gu Liyan.

It's terrestris.

Xi'er recognized him at a glance, and then remembered that night, Gu Liyan said that she would introduce him to He Liyan.

Gu Liyan stepped forward enthusiastically, took Xi'er's hand, walked to He Liyan and introduced: "Liuyan, this is the genius Go girl I told you about, Yue Xi'er, her chess skills are not weak.

For me."

"Hello, little sister, my name is He Liyan, and I am Yan'er's partner. I'm glad to meet you. I heard from Yan'er that you are very good at chess. I hope to meet you in the chess game." He Liyan stretched out his hand, his face

with an appreciative expression on his face.

"Then I'll see you at the chess game."

After saying that, Xi'er also stretched out her hand and shook it with He Liyan.

The so-called Chess Tournament refers to the sixth round of the ten-to-three match at the end of the game. After this round, the two members who will advance to the seventh round of semi-finals will be determined.

The semi-finals will determine the title of "chess coach". After the semi-finals, there will be the final showdown in the eighth round. The winner of the previous round of semi-finals will play against the chess king to finally determine the title of chess king.

After bidding farewell to Gu Liyan and He Liyan, Xi'er went to find her cousin and Yue Baihe.

In the second game in the afternoon, Xi'er met a wise chess player. After playing for a full hour and a half, the opponent refused to admit defeat. He shamelessly said that he was thinking and needed time, and then refused to make a move. This was terrible.

It gave Xi'er a headache.

It was not until the last few seconds that the wise chess player made a quick move.

At the end of the day, Xi'er finally won, and she was speechless.

However, what made her happy was that she could rest the next day, watch the battle, and play. What a great time to relax.

Looking quickly at the players present, Xi'er was delighted to find that her cousins ​​Yang Ling and Yue Baihe were waiting for her not far away, and they were preparing to go back to their residence in the Rising Sun Chess Courtyard together.

Because Xi'er had received Yue Lao's permission as early as the morning before yesterday to move from Island Chess Courtyard to Rising Sun Chess Courtyard and live with her cousin and the others.
