Chapter 2 The second game, the first battle field

Hearing the strange system tone, Tian Min asked in surprise, "Who...who are you?"

"I am a Go renaissance system, aiming to cultivate players who can lead the renaissance of Go."

As he said that, the system displayed a display screen in front of Tian Minze.

Personal comprehensive chess strength is 50 (amateur), layout 35, mid-game 48, official 58, calculation 52, overall situation 46, strength 65, isolation control 45, and mastery 50.

Tian Min looked at his ability values ​​given by the system and recalled his past abilities.

In the future, most chess players will play chess online. As long as they are good enough and have enough time, many amateur chess players can also reach the 9th level online. However, the same 9th level is also divided into strong nine, standard nine, and side nine.

As a pretty good amateur chess player in his previous life, Tian Minze was considered a "Baojiu" on the Internet, but in this world, the popularity of Go is far greater than that of his original world.

I occasionally play chess that I find difficult in the Children's Palace. You must know that the real masters are in the Go dojo, and the Children's Palace itself is at an amateur level.

Tian Min couldn't help but ask, "How are you going to train me?"

Then the system played a newbie guide.

The event points function allows you to win various Go games and you can collect the soul power from victory and convert it into points. The number of points depends on the level of the opponent. The top three players in the game will be awarded additional points. The number of reward points depends on the level of the game.

Points redemption function, points are exchanged for chess power, and the numerical value of a single item is improved; points exchange teaching courses are used to familiarize yourself with the chess ability improvement obtained through actual combat exercises; points are exchanged for AI guidance times, and the AI ​​​​judges the best next step in actual combat.

AI guidance, Tian Minze couldn't help but get excited, knowing that in the future the AI's Go level will surpass that of chess players.

"Using AI does not make you a master, defeating AI is your goal."

The system gives a cold prompt.

Tian Min checked his points. The initial points were: 30 points.

In the ability value of 30-40, every 3 points are exchanged for one point of chess strength. For example, the layout is currently 35 points, and you can add one point by using 3 points. But for the ability value of 40-45, every 4 points are exchanged for one point of chess strength.

At present, my overall ability is 50, and every 5 points can be exchanged for a step of AI guidance.

The same teaching courses are also divided into 5 points per lesson.

Tian Min couldn't help but think, "System, if you absorb Chu Ying's soul power, will Chu Ying disappear?"

"No", the system replied, "but the time Chu Ying can stay in the space crack will be shortened, estimated to be shortened by 30%", the system replied coldly.

It seems that if the plot remains unchanged, Chu Ying can at most persist until the time is determined, but I wonder if he can persist until the birth of God's Hand.

After getting such a magical system, especially the AI's ability to play chess, Tian Minze couldn't wait to go to the competition field immediately to prove the power of the system.

Soon the opportunity came. The Luzhou Youth Go Competition, as the seed player Tian Minze, began to draw lots in the top 16 competition. The venue for this competition was set at the junior high school of a third middle school, and a lot of space was specially freed up.

Used for competition.

As a city-level youth competition, it will naturally not be extended to several days. Instead, the rules of the TV Go fast game will be adopted. One move must be made within 30 seconds, and there will be 10 maneuvers of 10 minutes in total. One game

It ended in about 2 and a half hours, and the game was a single elimination system.

In the 16-to-8 match, Tian Minze met a chess player from the same children's palace. He was often taught by Tian Minze on the chessboard and rarely won, so when he met Tian Minze in the game, his momentum was naturally weak.

After reaching one level, and the young man's mood was a little unstable, he was naturally defeated quickly.

Less than an hour and a half later, it was a loss in the middle of the game.

Tian Min asked, "How many points can you get from this set?"

The system prompts, "The opponent's chess strength is 40 points. The additional buff 'poor mentality' reduces the strength by 15%. The actual strength is 34. The chess strength gap is 16. Guess the chess share first. It is a worthless game and no points will be awarded."

Tian Min smiled bitterly in his heart, his work was in vain, it seemed that he still had a stronger opponent.

The top 8 matches were also held that afternoon. Tian Minze's opponent still only had 37 points. Regardless of victory or defeat, it would not bring any points.

Tian Min, who was very unhappy, had a completely dominant attitude in the game. He made many "irrational moves" in the middle game, which was a tetsuji that was obviously very offensive and could not withstand scrutiny.

However, although the opponent obviously felt the pressure, he still suffered from insufficient calculation power and could not find a correct solution. This turned Tian Minze's unreasonable hand into a "strong hand" and easily won the middle game.

If you encounter unreasonable people, you must dare to fight back and you must fight back.

In the semi-finals, Tian Minze finally met an accurate chess player.

Coach Shirakawa on the sidelines was obviously familiar with the opponent's coach, "Teacher Li, is this your school's seed chess player?"

"That's right," Coach Li said boldly, "and he was spotted by a chess academy. I think he can develop into a professional chess player. He will definitely win today's game."

"Oh, then we might as well make a bet to see who pays for tonight's meal."

"no problem."

Coach Shirakawa is very familiar with Tian Minze's chess, and ordinary quasi-chess academy players are no match for him.

The so-called youth chess player competition has a prerequisite that the age limit is 14 years old, which also means that you cannot participate as a registered chess player in the chess academy.

In this world, every city, large or small, has one or two registered chess academies. As a provincial capital, Luzhou has four chess academies.

The chess academy mainly accepts the registration of chess players who are over 14 years old but have not yet determined their level. As a chess player in the chess academy, they are qualified to participate in the determined competition.

However, the chess academy will also recruit some capable young chess players under the age of 14 in advance. As quasi-chess academy chess players, they will receive training from the chess academy after school.

Tian Minze's opponent Zhou Zihao is a young chess player who was locked in advance by Yijianghu Dojo, which shows that he is already qualified to become a professional chess player.

The two stood up and bowed, sitting on both sides of the chessboard. "The opponent's chess strength is 52 points, they are evenly matched! This game is worth 5 points."

The champion of the Luzhou Youth Go Competition is worth 10 points, and the runner-up is worth 5 points. In other words, if you beat your opponent Tian Minze, you can get 5 victory points and 5 points for the runner-up.

In a game worth 10 points, Tian Min was in high spirits.

The game started soon. Zhou Zihao played black in this game and set up the "Three Stars" quickly at the beginning, which seemed well prepared.

Looking at the "three consecutive stars" on the chessboard, Tian Minze showed a smile, "It's been a long time".

Decades ago, when Takemiya Masaki, one of the top six players in Japan, was in his prime, the three-star layout dominated the chess world. However, after the emergence of AI, this layout has almost disappeared in the professional chess world.

It's very simple, because the grasp of the actual situation is too poor.

At this step, Tian Min did not hesitate and directly placed point 33, because facing the "three consecutive stars", the first choice point recommended after the AI ​​​​era is point 33.

This move is very different from the currently common corner-hanging move.

In the 30-second fast chess game, Zhou Zihao didn't have time to think too much. In his opinion, this was an "unreasonable move". As expected, he was fooled and simply made three long moves.
