Film and TV: Obtain Alpha Dog at the beginning

As more and more players finished the game, reporters began to interview other players, especially some who were already well-known.

During the interview, the reporter did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, and talked about Qin Hao's "bold words" that he would win the runner-up and take the TV home.

Now Qin Hao was completely "famous".

In this era where winning a championship also owes the honor to the collective, this can no longer be described as "crazy", it is simply arrogant.

Qian Yuping, the top talent seed player in Shanghai, who is only 12 years old, said that if he meets Qin Hao in the next round, his opponent will be stopped in the top 48 of this competition.

Players, coaches, and teachers all heard about such a crazy player.

Sometimes Qin Hao would encounter someone calling him "the second-place kid" in the guest house, with a somewhat mocking tone. Qin Hao didn't pay attention to this. While other children were working hard to improve their chess skills in the guest house all day, Qin Hao Hao used his rest time to explore the capital and bought a Rubik's Cube for Lin Dongzhe. However, the twenty yuan that Song Ying gave him before leaving was almost spent.

In the next top 24, both Wu Yue and Wang Yang were eliminated. The opponents who could make it to the top 24 were all tough opponents. This was in line with Liu Hong's expectations. However, Wu Yue and Wang Yang still burst into tears. For teenagers For children, this kind of competition is indeed a bit cruel.

Qin Hao still defeated his opponent strongly in the middle game and successfully advanced to the top 12. Moreover, his opponent in this round was a talented young man who was well-known in the capital. This also made those who wanted to see Qin Hao's jokes realize. Qin Hao may really have the strength to win second place.

At the end of the game, Chen Zude whispered to Nie Weiping: "Do you think this kid really entered the finals and lost on purpose just for a TV set?"

"It's very possible. Look at his expression, does it look like he cares about other people's opinions?" Nie Weiping's eyes drifted towards Qin Hao's direction.

Chen Zude looked over and saw that Liu Hong was comforting Wu Yue and Wang Yang who were crying like tears, while Qin Hao was standing under the shade of a tree beside him, leaning against a peach tree in boredom and taking a nap with squinted eyes.

"This kid really has a personality." Chen Zude shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Nie Weiping fully agreed with this point: "It's just like his chess game."

Speaking of chess, Chen Zude said sternly: "This kid's chess skills are indeed very strong. The first 150 moves were at least at the level of a national player. I just don't know what his ability is at the official stage."

"Among the younger generation, perhaps only Qian Yuping, Rui Naiwei and Ma Xiaochun can compete with him."

Nie Weiping put away the folding fan in his hand and said seriously: "The next step is the group stage where 12 will advance to 10. The four of them will definitely be divided into a group. It will be clear at a glance whether they are real gold or fake."

After the top 12, lots will be drawn. Six people will be in a group, and they will play against each other one by one. The one with the worst record will be eliminated, and the remaining top 10 will be qualified to enter the youth class of the China Chess Academy.

The reason why there is no one-on-one elimination competition system is mainly to test the comprehensive ability of the players. After all, everyone's chess style is different, and it is inevitable that they will encounter opponents. The points system relies entirely on hard power, which can be seen. , the Chinese Chess Academy has put a lot of effort into this selection.

Qin Hao and Ma Xiaochun were once again assigned to a group, which made Hu Haiyang very depressed. Although only one person was eliminated from each group, the top players could choose opponents from another group in the next round and be divided with Qin Hao. In a group, Ma Xiaochun lost one point before the group stage started.

But Ma Xiaochun didn't care. On the contrary, he thought it would be good to play another game of chess with Qin Hao.

The next day, the group stage started.

Qin Hao's opponent in the first round was a kid from Sichuan. He spoke with a Sichuan accent and threatened to defeat Qin Hao as soon as he sat down.

As a result, after he reached move 136, his hand holding Heizi was hanging in the air without making a move for two and a half minutes, and then he started crying without any warning.

The referee kept looking at Qin Hao. In his impression, this was the third opponent Qin Hao made him cry, and there was also a little girl among them.

Chen Zude also shook his head when he saw this: "Why does this child cry so often now? His psychological quality is too bad."

However, when the referee decided that Qin Hao had won, and Nie Weiping took a look at the game between the two sides, Chen Zude knew that he had wrongly blamed the Sichuan boy.

"This attack is getting stronger and stronger every time. It's no wonder that the kid can't resist it."

What is the most desperate thing in a Go game? There are obviously many positions on the chessboard that can be played, but you find that no matter where you play, you have no chance of winning.

Moreover, you clearly made no mistakes and even played to your highest level, but you still have no chance of winning.

In the next three rounds, Qin Hao still performed well, winning in the middle set and winning all four games. Ma Xiaochun also won all of them, and the two tied for first place.

The situation in the other group was similar. Qian Yuping won all four games, while Rui Naiwei lost to Qian Yuping and had three wins and one loss, ranking second in Group B.

In the last match between Groups A and B, there was no doubt that the match between Qin Hao and Ma Xiaochun was the most interesting. Many coaches, teachers, as well as national players and leaders from the Chinese Chess Academy came to watch.

Of course, you can't watch it from close range, but find a nearby high place to watch.

Chen Zude and Nie Weiping are no exception.

Wang Runan on the side saw that the two of them were just whispering, and joked: "When did you become so interested in the younger chess players?"

Chen Zude and Wang Runan had been sent to the countryside together and had a good relationship, so they laughed and scolded: "It sounds like we are selfish and only care about ourselves. You are going to hold a denouncement meeting for us."

"This is a strong showdown. It may be a preview of the finals. It's worth watching."

Nie Weiping is more than ten years younger than the two of them, so he is considered a junior. He usually has a good relationship with Chen Zude. He laughs and scolds in private, but remains respectful in public.

"Here we go, watch chess, watch chess."

In the arena, Qin Hao and Ma Xiaochun were sitting opposite each other. The guess was that Qin Hao took the black lead.

It’s still the standard starting point: point three three.

Ma Xiaochun immediately responded with one hand: star position.

Both sides played very quickly after the start, almost without thinking. Since the last time he lost to Qin Hao in two consecutive games, Ma Xiaochun has been using his spare time to study Qin Hao's chess. This time he was also prepared. Ten hands, he had gone through it many times.

Chen Zude, who was watching the battle, smiled at Nie Weiping: "These two people are very murderous."

Nie Weiping nodded with a smile: "Have you noticed that Ma Xiaochun seems to be holding back a lot of energy? Did they have any grudges before?"

Soon the two sides passed fifty moves and entered the middle stage.

The speed of Ma Xiaochun's moves has obviously slowed down, but Qin Hao still makes moves without thinking.

Those watching the game nearby were all chess-savvy people, including coaches, teachers, and national players from the Chinese Chess Academy. They couldn't help but feel incredible that the two of them had such chess prowess at such a young age.

"Are these kids so powerful now?"

"Good guy, these are the first seventy moves. If I hadn't known about them in advance, I would have thought they were in the National Go Championship."

"The next generation is terrible, I am not as good as them."

Nie Weiping smiled at Chen Zude.

"How are you? Do you feel any pressure?"

Chen Zude said meaningfully: "No matter how powerful they are, it will take at least five years for them to grow up. If I don't succeed in five years, I will retire. On the contrary, it is you who are in your prime. Be careful of the waves behind you. Overwhelmed."

"Why, you're getting old now, it's not like you." Nie Weiping didn't accept the move at all and continued to tease.

Chen Zude laughed and scolded: "Stop pretending, you must be panicking now."

While the two were teasing each other, the game between Qin Hao and Ma Xiaochun had reached the end of the middle game.

In move 150, Qin Hao's sunspot landed at: six out of ten.

Ma Xiaochun's expression changed instantly.

The reaction from the crowd watching the game was polarizing.

"Is this a single-handed move?"

"Why did you play here? Are you dizzy? Doesn't this give up the entire lower left corner to white?"

"Nonsense, do you know chess? This is obviously a clever move. Once the white chess's energy is restrained by the lower left corner, the middle part of the game can connect the two dragons on the left and right sides of the black chess. By then, the white chess piece will Only the small area in the lower left corner is left, and the other three roads are firmly trapped. "

"Yes, this chess move is wonderful. If you attack the enemy, you must save it. But here in the middle game, black has a clear advantage. Once white and black continue to entangle, the official will still lose in the stage."

Chen Zude and Nie Weiping's faces now lost their previous calmness.

"Have you noticed that the kid named Qin Hao has never paused in every move he made so far? How did he do it?"

Chen Zude frowned: "Yeah, no matter how strong his chess calculation ability is, this is already 150 moves. With such a thoughtless move, isn't he afraid of losing?"

"This game of chess is difficult for Ma Xiaochun." Nie Weiping looked at the chessboard in front of him. He reviewed every move of the game. It was this process that gave him a different feeling. He could feel Ma Xiaochun considered every next step, but what Qin Hao thought and what he would do next were often beyond his expectations.

Qin Hao ignored many places that he felt should be fought for, and instead laid out some seemingly dispensable places. But after the middle game, Nie Weiping discovered that Qin Hao's seemingly random moves had an effect. The effect of being one step ahead.

To Nie Weiping, it felt like Qin Hao was using the black chess pieces to weave a big net, just waiting for Ma Xiaochun to get into it.

After Ma Xiaochun fell into thinking for ten minutes, he finally landed on a white piece and chose to fight Qin Hao in the middle.

However, when it came to move 173, Ma Xiaochun fell into a long test again. After another three minutes, he surrendered with a wry smile.

"I lost."

The people watching the battle started talking again.

"Are you giving up now? There should still be a chance, right?"

"There is no chance. Look at the shape of black's chess. It has cut off the lives of white's big dragons. If you continue to play, you will only bring humiliation to yourself."

"Yes, Black's layout ability is so strong that people can fall into the trap without even realizing it."

Nie Weiping and Chen Zude looked at each other and smiled bitterly. From their chess skills, it was obvious that the reason why Black won was not through "conspiracy and tricks", but through naked strength. Ma Xiaochun was like a fish in a net. No matter how hard he swam, he couldn't get out of Qin Hao's net bag.

"Tell me, if you fight with this kid, can you win?" Chen Zude suddenly had a bold idea.

Nie Weiping was startled, then shook his head: "It's hard to say, but I believe that day will not be too far away."

"Also, I always feel that Ma Xiaochun doesn't seem to let him try his best."

Qin Hao advanced to the top ten with the absolute advantage of winning all the games in Group A, which also slapped the faces of those who thought he was arrogant before.

Especially the coaches and teachers of the remaining players, one by one, studied all the chess games Qin Hao had played since the competition.

Some even went to temples such as Jietai Temple to burn incense and pray so that they could meet Qin Hao later.

There is no doubt that after the top ten, Qin Hao has become the number one favorite to win the championship, and the super devil in the eyes of the players.

But what made the organizer, the Chinese Chess Institute, feel both funny and helpless was that Qin Hao publicly stated that he had no idea about winning the championship, but had a special liking for the runner-up.

At first, the Chinese Chess Institute didn't think much about it, but the day before the top ten competition, the top issued a document.

In order to promote Go among young people, the relevant departments decided to arrange CCTV to record and broadcast the final finals.

This made the leaders of the Chinese Chess Institute panic. If Qin Hao surrendered directly in the finals, it would be a big trouble.

"How about we swap the prizes, the champion gets the TV and the runner-up gets the refrigerator?"

"No, no, the newspaper has reported it before. If we swap the prizes, won't they come to trouble us?"

The requirements for news reports are extremely high these days. Once there are errors and omissions in the report, the relevant responsible persons will be strictly punished, and the sponsors will not be happy. How can the champion and the runner-up be the same thing?

"In fact, we don't need to be so nervous. There are still many strong players in this session. Maybe he can't make it to the end."

"Yes, I heard that there are two strong players in Shanghai, and they may not be able to advance to the finals."

However, in the next qualifying match, Qin Hao defeated his opponent with two clean 2:0.

In the semi-finals, he also easily defeated Rui Naiwei and made the girl cry. This is also the fourth player Qin Hao was defeated to cry in this session.

On the other side, the semifinals were between Ma Xiaochun and Qian Yuping. After three hard games, Ma Xiaochun defeated Qian Yuping and advanced to the finals.

Hu Haiyang was very surprised that Ma Xiaochun could reach the finals. Although the finals were against the "big devil" Qin Hao, he said that he wanted a TV instead of a refrigerator. If he was not careful, he would let the game go in the finals. Wouldn't Ma Xiaochun be the champion?

The Chinese Chess Institute was not in such a good mood as Hu Haiyang. Things were still developing in the direction they least wanted.

"How about we talk to him?"
