Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 282 281. Retirement Ceremony

"Congratulations to you first. Not only do you have the gold medal in the Asian Games, you are now a great chess player, a national player, and a chess saint."

When Ying Jie heard this, he said indifferently: "We still need Tianyuan and celebrity, and the schedule conflicts. The achievement of Wuqi Chaoyuan can only be reserved for next year."

After the Asian Games, the challenge for the two titles started directly.

Ying Jie still defeated two seniors and won two other titles.

Of course, there are also the bonuses included in the title.

It has to be said that the prize money for chess jihad is indeed very high.

Fan Ruoyu's fist hardened when he heard this: "Damn, do you really want to take all the titles?"

There are five titles in total in China. There is no way to survive at all, right?

“It would be great if the World Series was the same as the title match, if I could defend my title.

This way you don't have to work hard all the time and just wait for others to challenge you. "

"If it were a title defense challenge system, it would be too easy to accumulate world championships like this."

Going all the way from the top 64 to the finals to win the world championship three times is not the same difficulty as lying at the last level waiting for others to play chess with you and win the championship.

After all, in single-elimination elimination, anyone who doesn't pay attention may be eliminated at any time.

Therefore, it is rare to see people winning the various world competitions and even ordinary national competitions, but there are people who often win the title for five or seven consecutive years.

This is one of the characteristics brought about by the defending challenge system. It is easier for the holder of the previous title to win easily.

This is also what Fan Ruoyu is most worried about when Ying Jie wins five titles.

It’s already very difficult to win against Ying Jie, but this time again,

At that time, it will be really difficult to seize food from the tiger's mouth after going through all kinds of hardships.

After going through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships to reach the Western Heaven, Jie came to the Buddha to send you directly to the Western Heaven.

My mentality is really broken.

"Is Guangyin 9th Dan determined to retire?"

Gu Shaoshang on the other side nodded: "It seems like this, as you age, your condition does begin to decline.

He didn't have any good results in this year's World Series, only the Asian Games was slightly better. "

Although Gao Yongxia made it to the first round, Guangyin 9th dan was obviously not doing much better.

Even Lu Li's 9th dan seemed to have started to weaken after winning a championship. In recent world competitions, it has not reached the semi-finals.

"A new generation replaces the old."

"Is it said that there is some kind of retirement ceremony?"

"It seems so. It is said that someone has been found to sponsor it."

Normal Go players do not have a clear retirement ceremony when they end their careers.

Many top chess players will no longer participate in professional competitions such as the World Series when they are no longer in peak condition. The opportunities they may have to participate in the World Series will be given to other newcomers.

Then he quietly faded out of people's sight.

Occasionally they participate in one or two invitational matches. Although their level points are still on the active player rankings, everyone assumes that they have retired.

This is indeed the reality. Basically, most of them start working behind the scenes at this stage, serving as the president of some local Go associations or engaging in some related Go education activities.

And Guangyin 9th Dan directly held a retirement ceremony this time, which really meant that the game was completely closed.

Say goodbye to the professional world once and for all.

I may not participate in invitational tournaments or the like later.

As for the sponsors who support this retirement event, Guangyin Jiuduan has been in the industry for more than ten years and still has many wealthy fans.

Let’s have a retirement ceremony and sprinkle some water on it.

Ying Jie finally confirmed that Mr. Pei was not the only sponsor of Chinese Go.

"It was said before that someone wanted to sponsor Gao Yongxia and Lu Li's ninth-dan chess game."

Gu Shaoshang shook his head when he heard this: "It's just a rumor, but these two people can't get it even if they don't have tens of millions.

The championship prize should be at least several million, right? Coupled with all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, it is estimated to cost more than several world championships.

It’s hard to find sponsors for the World Series, so why not find this one? "

"Maybe one day we can coax the sponsors and they can do it as soon as they pay for it."

After all, the sponsors of Chinese Go really do it for love and really love the Go project.

If one day it feels good, or if you feel good drinking at the wine table, just slap on the forehead, maybe it will be done right away.

Generating electricity for love is so cost-effective.

As for the sponsorship of the Go project, Ying Jie couldn't even think about it.

too difficult.

Although Chinese football is regarded as a national shame, it is really a professional sport and can really make money.

Although Go also imitates the professionalization of football, it has also cultivated a number of talents and emerged a number of outstanding chess players.

But compared with football's natural advantages as "the world's number one sport", the market is very different.

It’s too difficult to cash out.

"This time I retired, it is said that I have found the top chess players from China, Japan and South Korea to play a game each."

“It’s definitely Hikaru Jing on the Fuso side, Ko Yong-ha on the South Korean side, and Ko Yong-ha on the Chinese side.

Afterglow? Lu Li? Yellow River? "

Gu Shaoshang reported several names in succession. The other two countries were players from the other two countries when Guangyin competed in the Beidou Cup.

If considered from this perspective, Yu Liang, a teammate of the Chinese team at the time, was more likely to win the ninth dan.

But as the first person in China to surpass Guang Yin, Lu Li Jiuduan also has a great possibility.

Not to mention the nine sections of the Yellow River, it is said that the two people came from the same dojo.

"..."

Seeing the expressions of his teammates thinking hard, Ying Jie asked a little embarrassedly: "Isn't anyone guessing me?"

"you?"

Fan Ruoyu raised his head and glanced at Ying Jie when he heard this. Although you are now the number one person in China, you have no commemorative value.

…

Holy shit, what do you mean? underestimate me?

"I'm sorry, it's me who China invited."

Ying Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Can we not just think about it in terms of commemoration? Let's be realistic, can't the typical number one person from China, Japan and South Korea see it?

Who is the first person in China now? Do you still need to ask?

Guangyin 9th Dan even called personally at that time.

If Ying Jie gave it to him for the first time, then he would leave it to Ying Jie for the last time.

…

Ying Jie always felt that there was some ambiguity in this sentence. Are all Go players so abstract?

"How much is your appearance fee for the invitational tournament?"

Fan Ruoyu asked a little gossip, Ying Jie is also the number one player in China after all, so the game fee should not be small, right?

No matter what, it should be 50,000 to 100,000.

"Four hundred thousand."

"..."

"JPY?"

"won?"

“Zimbabwe currency?”

Listening to the words of his three teammates, Ying Jie said with a serious face: "On the land of China, I don't want to use other currencies to convert my wealth."

PS: I went to the hospital and was late due to running back and forth. Sorry.
