Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 12 12. The Chinese chess world will never be without you

The final awards ceremony was not very grand, probably because the leaders were in a hurry to go home.

After the awards and group photos, the Go game ended.

Ying Jie and others had just come out of the gymnasium, and a figure was waiting at the door early.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Ying Jie seemed to have expected it: "You guys go back first, I have something to say with this senior.

Xiao Lu, wait for me next to you, I will take you back later. "

Lu Jingjing glanced at the person who came. He was an old man in his 50s wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He was not a threat and was safe.

"Then I'll wait for you nearby."

"The two of us will go back first."

"kindness."

Ying Jie smiled and nodded.

After a few people left, Ying Jie nodded slightly to the old man and said, "Old Qi."

"Do you remember me?"

Qi Zhenxi was a little surprised when he heard Ying Jie greeting him. He originally thought that the other party had forgotten about him.

"I forgot about it at first, but when I saw you thinking about what Wan Fang Chudan said today, I suddenly remembered it.

You should also be a professional chess player. "

Also, I felt that the opponent was not very strong at the time, but his chess skills declined with age after his peak period. It is not surprising that he still has such chess skills in his fifties and is a professional chess player.

Even 9-dan chess players may not always win against young 1-dan players when they are around sixty years old.

"You left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to introduce myself.

Qi Zhenxi is a fifth-dan professional, but now works as a teacher at the Imperial Capital Fangyuan Dojo. "

When Ying Jie heard this, he just nodded slightly.

A fifth-dan professional chess player at this age is still very valuable. After all, it was very difficult to advance to the next level.

Seeing Ying Jie who was completely unresponsive, Qi Zhenxi became a little anxious: "I watched your chess game today.

It's completely different from what I played that day. The chess you played with me that day completely challenged the logic of chess and couldn't be understood at all. Today's chess seems to be able to understand every move, with ease and ease, and to master the whole game, but it is still puzzling. untie.

But no matter what style it is, the same thing is that this kind of chess should appear in professional competitions, even in world championships.

You shouldn't waste time on this kind of competition. For you now, every minute, every moment, and every second is prime time and a period of growth!

With your strength, you can definitely enter the professional chess world, and that is where you can show your talents.

As long as you are willing, I can guarantee you that you will be admitted directly to the Imperial Capital Fangyuan Dojo without taking any exams. "

"Sorry, although I do have the idea of ​​participating in the fixed-stage competition next year, I don't plan to go to the dojo."

After today's game, the local Go Association told me directly that it would apply for a professional fifth-level certificate, and it had reached the rigid standard for participating in the fixed-stage competition.

Hearing this, Qi Zhenxi suddenly became anxious: "I know that your chess skills are very high, and have even reached a professional level.

However, there are various factors involved in the professional stage competition. There are still nearly half a year before next year's stage competition. In this half year, if you don't play chess, how much will your level drop?

If you are able to reach today's level, you should also know that progress in chess is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Why don't you join the dojo, where you can get the best resources and compete with chess players of the same age across the country. Each of them is your touchstone and a step up. "

The other party doesn't know that he has AI that can be trained, so it's normal to have such concerns.

But even if there is an AI, it is difficult to play chess instead of playing chess with people, especially people with the same strength.

Ying Jie looked at Qi Zhenxi who asked questions and said straightforwardly: "My family has no money."

This is indeed the case.

After Ying Jie traveled through time, he also thought about going to the dojo to study, but his current family conditions did not allow it.

All the places in China where you can learn to play chess are either in the imperial capital or in big cities like the Magic City of Hangzhou. Students from other places can only go there alone to learn chess.

Many children who are learning chess are even required to be accompanied by their parents because they are too young. There is a situation where one person is accompanying the child and the other is working at home to make money.

However, determining the rank in Go is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even King Cupping, who was known as a born leader in Go in his previous life, succeeded in determining the rank twice, and narrowly missed it the second time by finishing last.

Lianxiao, who has numerous domestic championships, has been awarded 9-dan four times, and a professional rider known as a professional goalkeeper has been rated eight times.

And it’s not just about failure again and again. With the high tuition fees at the dojo, the high consumption in big cities, and the fact that parents accompany them to study, it is difficult for ordinary families to afford their children to become professional chess players.

Maybe there is a child somewhere in the mountains who is born to be a chess master, but he will never embark on a career path or even come into contact with the possibility of Go.

This is also the reason why so many outstanding chess players emerged in China during its economic upswing. The prosperity of any industry is based on a stable, prosperous and wealthy country.

…

Hearing this, Qi Zhenxi was stunned for a moment.

Well, that's a really strong reason.

It's also very realistic.

But Qi Zhenxi did not hesitate at all: "These are not problems! As long as you are willing to enter the dojo, on behalf of Fangyuan Dojo, I would like to express that your tuition and accommodation fees will be free of charge.

Your talent is higher than anyone I have ever seen. Whether it is the current four major title holders, Lu Li Ninth Dan, or even Gao Yongxia, they are far less talented than you!

You were born to play chess!

The new generation of Chinese Go community can lose anyone, but it can never lose you! "

Ying Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party had such high expectations for him.

Also, it is understandable how shocking Ai is, which represents the future of Go.

Looking at the other party's serious eyes, Ying Jie nodded: "I will go back and discuss it with my parents. They may not agree, but I will try my best to convince him."

"Don't worry, I will also help convince your parents.

By the way, um, can you leave me your phone number? "

Qi Zhenxi said awkwardly, last time he let the other party slip away, this time he must leave his contact information, otherwise it will be embarrassing if he can't find him again.

"Oh, I don't have a mobile phone. My home phone number is 50***39."

"OK, don't worry, even if you can't convince me, I will find a way to convince your parents."

After getting the phone number, Qi Zhenxi nodded with satisfaction and immediately signed up.

I rely on this old face to have fun and wallow in mischief, find leaders to accompany me to do work, and also want to send this genius to my home dojo safely.

When he enters the professional world in the future, he will have another source of bragging rights.

Seeing that Qi Zhenxi was giggling after getting the number, he said awkwardly: "Well, it's dark.

I'll go back first, otherwise my family will have to worry. "

There is no other way. I am only 14 years old now. If I go back now, I will probably get scolded.

"Okay, okay, you go back first."

Qi Zhenxi waved his hand and watched Ying Jie go away, then turned around with satisfaction and prepared to go back.

But after turning around, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Nine sections of the Yellow River?"
