Generally speaking, in the imperial capital, the chess court is generally referred to as the imperial chess court.

This is a holy place for all chess players.In addition to taking on the task of training new players for the motherland, various Go games are often held here.

If you play as a national player, or as a young chess player who has just entered the profession, they usually enter and leave here.

Fang Ze originally thought that the Junior Go game mentioned by Fang's mother was just an entertaining amateur game played by a group of little kids.

But after coming here, Fang Ze discovered that the children playing here are all young chess players who have just entered the profession and studied in the chess school.

Most of these young players are around eleven or twelve years old.Although according to regulations, the age limit for participating in the juvenile group competition is under twenty years old, but it is difficult to find a fifteen year old here.

This is because Go levels are divided into three categories, rank, amateur, and professional.

Levels generally range from beginner to elementary, with the highest level being level 1, and players above level 3 can qualify for the amateur Go fixed stage match.

The amateur ranks are divided into one to eight ranks, of which eight ranks are not established in China, and the only way to obtain it is to apply for the award of the champion of the World Amateur Go Championship to the Neon Chess Academy.

However, even with seven dans, the threshold for obtaining is very high.Only the champion of the domestic amateur Go game can apply.

However, those who are above the 5th dan in the amateur and under the age of 15 can apply for the qualification of the national professional dan.

Um, you read that right, amateur Go players must be younger than fifteen to qualify for the top professional tournament.

There is a saying in the Go world, that is,'If you don't become a national player at twenty, you will have no hope for life.'

If a person does not make a name in Go before the age of 20, then basically it is not for this purpose.

The reason is that Go is a game that requires not only a strong talent, but also hard work ability to be a little famous.

If a person wants to become a national player, he must be nailed to the front of the board every day for at least six hours since he is at least eight years old.

Of course, this is only the most basic. In addition to hard work and accidents, Go must also require players to have talents far beyond ordinary people.

Although no matter what industry, talent is the ultimate goal.After all, only those who have really worked hard can understand the importance of talent.But the Go world's demand for talent is even more abnormal.

In other industries, although a talented person can have a little advantage, a person with a less talented person can narrow the gap through hard work.

But Go is different. Under the premise of solid basic skills, talents can do whatever they want.

For example, the famous chess player, Mr. Wu Qingyuan, the sage of chess, only demoted all the neon super-class players, and unscrupulously scored in the neon chess world, just like a college student going to a kindergarten to become a school fighter .

At that time, the neon Go world was strong and there were many famous players, but even if these players worked hard, they still couldn't beat the old man Wu Qingyuan.

For example, Kotani Minori of Honinbo, who founded the Kiya Dojo, was known as the world's number one martial art school in the world of chess, and was a master of the neon go world.

But it was such a great god who played the up-and-down chess with Mr. Wu Qingyuan until his nosebleeds flowed down on the spot.But it was still run over by Mr. Wu.

It can be seen that in the Go industry, a person's talent determines which step a person can take.

What's even more frightening is that in addition to talent surprises, the Go world also looks at young skills.

If a chess player wants to make a difference in the professional field of Go, he must learn Go from an early age.Only after the age of fifteen did he start to learn modern Go and become a professional player. There is no one in China so far that has won the rankings in the game.

The most inspirational example is that Liu Xiaoguang 9duan started to learn Go at the age of 13.

Therefore, even if the children who are playing in front of Fang Ze's eyes, although they all look at the age of elementary school, in terms of chess power, they can already crush most of the outside adult amateur chess players.

Just when Fang Ze turned to a corner and was about to stop and take a rest, he suddenly heard a neon word around him.

"Hello, can you excuse me?"

Fang Ze turned his head and found that it was two children who looked only eleven or twelve years old.

One of the children was dyed yellow hair, and the other was black hair, but it looked so neutral that Fang Ze couldn't tell whether it was Zhengtai or Loli for a while.

It was the yellow-haired child who was talking to Fang Ze. While speaking this Japanese, he used poor English and sign language to assist Fang Ze, trying to make Fang Ze understand what he said.

"Where is there a restaurant near here?"

"Are you hungry?" Fang Ze had seen these two children before, but they were both playing chess at the time. Fang Ze thought they were children in the chess school. Now it looks like they should be foreign friends who came to participate in the game.So he communicated with the two children in neon language.

"Yes, yes, because it's time for dinner." After hearing Fang Ze's words, the yellow-haired child immediately became excited.

"Good standard neon language, brother, are you a compatriot working in China?"

"No, I am from Huaxia." Fang Ze said to the two children while saying, "You come with me, and I will take you to the restaurant."

"Thank you so much for the truth." The two children thanked Fang Ze together."Because our leader didn't know where he was going, we didn't know who to ask. We came over when we saw you in overalls."

"Are you two neon professional chess players?" Fang Ze asked curiously, "It's very hard to run so far to compete."

"It's not hard work." The yellow-haired child said, "It is a very lucky thing to come here to compete with so many chess players of the same age. It is difficult to have this opportunity in China."

What the yellow-haired child said, "It is difficult to have this opportunity in Neon" is not polite, but there is a big gap between the young professional chess players of Neon and the young professional chess players of China.

Now the Go system is built by neon, which is almost non-controversial.

In the process of the development of modern Go, the neon Go world abolished the block system and the head return, which made the opening of Go more free and changeable, and laid the foundation for the modern Go layout theory.

The establishment of the rank system and the clarification of the rank difference and promotion rules are equivalent to the establishment of the title system of Go.

The ultimate goal is that the neon Go world established a special system after World War II, which is a prerequisite for the modern Go competition system.So there is a saying that Huaxia is the biological mother of Go and Neon is the adoptive mother of Go. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

But even if Neon has made so many contributions to modern Go, the gradual decline of the Neon Go world is an indisputable fact.

During the period of China's reform and opening up, the neon Go world could almost completely crush the China Go world, but with development.

The Huaxia Go and Nanbang Go circles have gradually emerged by virtue of the school-style talent training system. However, the neon Go circle has led to the generation of talents due to the ancient master and apprentice training system, and was easily overtaken by China and Nanbang.

Fang Ze took the two to the restaurant in the chess courtyard, and introduced the Chinese food in the restaurant to the two children from neon.

"This sounds like it's delicious." After the two children discussed, they chose the yellow braised chicken rice.

At this moment, Fang Ze was also a little hungry, so he ordered one for himself, and the three of them sat down for a meal.

"What are your two names?" After Fang Ze asked, he also said his own name by the way, "My name is Fang Ze."

"My name is Jin Fujimitsu." The yellow-haired child said.

"My name is Ta Shiliang." The kid whose Fang Ze couldn't distinguish between Zhengtai and Loli also introduced himself.

From the sound point of view, it should be Xiaozheng too undoubtedly.

"I have become a professional chess player at such a young age. Your teachers should be very famous."

"I'm self-taught." Shinto Hikaru finished speaking, pointing to Ta Ya Liang and said, "Ta Ya Liang learned chess from his father."

"Self-taught!" Fang Ze looked at Shinto Hikaru, a little surprised.

As I said before, the method of cultivating newcomers in the neon Go world is still the ancient mentoring system.

In Neon, if a chess player feels that his chess power has begun to decline and he can no longer fight for results, he will start to accept disciples.

Generally, the source of apprentices is either discovered by themselves or recommended by others.

Once the apprentice is accepted, the apprentice will leave his parents and live in the master's house, study with him, eat, live, live, and all expenses incurred during the period will be borne by the master.After the disciple becomes a teacher, he will honor part of his income to the master.

This is also the so-called internal disciple system. The crosstalk world in China used to be this way of inheritance, so there is a reason why the crosstalk world has declined year by year.

In China, the chess school has teachers who specialize in instructing young chess players to play chess, teachers who specialize in basic skills training for life and life, and teachers who specialize in layout and style.

In Neon, all this is done by the master alone.

Therefore, Shinto Hikaru said that he was a self-taught professional young chess player, which would make Fang Ze feel incredible.

This talent is probably comparable to or even surpassing the rhythm of chess sage Wu Qingyuan.

After all, the reason why there were six super-class players in the neon Go world was because these six players had a common teacher, Mizu Mi.

It can be seen the influence of a good teacher on chess players in the neon Go world.

And this little chess player named Jin Fujimitsu actually said that he was self-taught, which was indeed quite terrifying.

The three chatted for a while, and Fang Ze went to Fujimitsu and Ta Yaliang to finish their meal.

He glanced at his watch, and then said to the two children, "I have something to leave temporarily. If you need any help, you can wait for me in the lobby."

"Thank you then." The two neon kids thanked Fang Ze together.

"Guests should be coming at this point." Fang Ze walked to a place where there was basically no one, and looked around, hoping to find the guests coming this week in time.

He is really curious now. If the visitor is indeed a young version of Tang Seng, then eating a bite of his meat will make him immortal.
