Almighty in the city

"The active professional chess players of Huaxia Chess Academy——" Someone in the room shook his head suddenly, "There is no way. Those of us who have retired for at least four or five years, are in state long ago, let alone It is an active player with a higher rank than ours. Even if it is a professional player with three or four dans, we may not be able to play it now-it can only bully the amateur players."

As soon as he said this, a wry smile suddenly sounded in the whole room.

Everyone in this room was once a registered professional chess player in the Jiapan chess world, but later due to various reasons such as age, they retired to do other things related to Go, and some even went directly to other jobs. Up.

Go, a sport dominated by brain competition, is actually the same as other competitive sports in the sports world.

There is a well-recognized old saying in the Go world, "If you don't become a national player at twenty, you will have no hope in this life."

It means that if you cannot become a professional chess player before the age of twenty, then there is no hope of becoming a professional chess player in your life.

In fact, all those who can become professional chess players have been "playing" since they were young (playing the game records of various Go games). The youngest are four to five years old, and the normal one is six or seven. Around the age of ten, those who are past ten years old are considered to be too late to start.

Maintaining "playing scores" for more than six hours a day, the talent is good, basically around the age of fifteen, you can "set the stage" to become a professional chess player; the talented people can basically complete the "set" before the age of 20. Duan" and become a professional chess player.

If you can’t decide your “rank” at the age of twenty, basically the hope of becoming a professional chess player in this life is pretty slim. There will be any future and hope for development.

The "golden age" of a professional chess player is actually the decade between 20 and 30.

Not to mention that Go is based on brain power, but in fact, the competitive sport of Go does not have low physical requirements.

There was once a professional nine-duan Go master named Qian Yuping in China, once said: "Go is a'killing schedule'."

For example, the "Advocate Chess Cup", which has a relatively high gold content in the offline cup competition, stipulates that each side of the competition has 3 hours of time. In addition, there can be 3 times of 2 o'clock delays for 35 minutes.That is, the two parties can spend up to nine hours!

Nine hours of continuous mental activity is not even inferior to a marathon for physical consumption, and mental fatigue is definitely more than a marathon thousands of times.

There was a classic chess game called "the famous game of vomiting blood" in Jiapan, which is also the most famous game in the history of Jiapan.

At that time, the two players in the game were the 12th generation of the head of the Go family, Honinbo, and the hope of the Go family, the star of hope, and Akahoshi Into, who was also a disciple of the "Ki Sage" Hanan Inshuo.

In this game, Beninbo Zhanghe stepped out of the "three great hands of the ancient and modern". Akahoshi Intoru, who had just passed the thirty-year-old threshold at the time, was overworked in this game and was caused by losing. After losing his mind, he vomited blood and died shortly after losing chess.

In many large tournaments, some young professional chess players sometimes adopt the tactics of "dragging time and consuming energy" when facing opponents much older than them.

They couldn't beat their opponents in chess, but they dragged down their opponents by their physical strength, and won the final victory.

Northland’s Cao Guo 9duan, because of physical problems, lost to a professional 7-duan player from Jiapan in an offline cup game.

The people in this room, in fact, in terms of age, there are not many who are in their forties. They are all in the age group between 30 and 40. According to the age of modern people, they are actually In fact, they are all young and middle-aged, but among a group of professional chess players who have been playing chess in their teens, they are all "old guys".

That’s because before the quarter-finals, the “Tianyuan Cup” was all a “10-minute fast chess game” mode, and the physical exertion was much smaller than that of a normal game. Therefore, the Jiapan chess world will give these retired chess players. The hands issued a "calling order" to launch this wave of "human tactics."

If the normal "cup match" format is used, these people may only serve as a "cannon fodder" that consumes the opponent's physical strength.

"In recent years, the Huaxia Chess World has been a bit unreliable, but the current players of the China Chess Academy are still strong." Someone said, "Especially the 9th dan of Zhong Yuan. In recent years, the state has not fallen but has risen. It is very likely that this year Or next year we can win the world number one ranking."

"Okay, Yuno-kun, don't be depressed." A friend who knows this middle-aged man smiled and persuaded, "For us'old guys', we lose to any active chess player in a chess school. These are all normal things. After all, how many years have passed since I retired. I once lost to an amateur player on this international online Go game platform, and I lost more than once."

"Yes, it is normal for a retired player to lose to an active player. What's more, the opponent's chess power is higher than when you were a professional chess player. It is normal to lose to him. If you win, you can consider coming back!" Someone laughed and joked.

"Anyway, our task is to get as many tickets as possible for the official elimination round of the'Tianyuan Cup'. Even if the entire army is wiped out, it will be fine." Another person smiled and said, "This is not because there are two big chess houses and Are there any active professional chess players from various chess schools?"

The middle-aged man called "Yuno-kun" vomited blood on his face, and said depressed: "I didn't feel depressed because I lost chess--"

He raised his hand and kept chatting on the channel: "Look at this guy's ID and the ridicule! It's so terribly bullying!"
