Chapter 4 Moving Reinforcements
For most of the second half of the game between Rui Zhao and Cheng Yuyang, Liao Xiang stood by and watched the game in person.
The strength of a chess player can be seen in just one game of chess as long as there is a suitable opponent.
Except for the delay in the layout stage, Pan Ruizhao suppressed Cheng Yuyang almost the whole time in the second half and did not give any chance.
Judging from this point alone, Rui Zhao's real strength is at least in the second level of his profession.
If you take into account that Rui Zhao has many choices in the middle that are obviously better than what you see...
Is it better than the second-level... or even the third-level level?
Liao Xiang could not help but take a deep breath.
As a professional salty fish, Liao Xiang basically gave up attacking the supreme field of Go less than two years after he was determined, and instead turned his work center to Go training.
Although he has tried hard to maintain his chess skills in order to ensure the level of training, among the second-level professional players, his chess skills are indeed extremely mediocre.
He even said that it had been a long time since he had truly experienced the feeling of a "critical game".
And now...the long-lost key game is about to come!
"Ah, Mr. Rui, I mean I'm happy to give Rui Zhao's level a try!"
Liao Xiang, who was questioned by Rui Guoquan, did not show any displeasure, but instead showed his displeasure. Signature smile.
Under the current situation, as the strongest person in the dojo, I have no reason to retreat.
He may not be able to complete the task assigned by the teacher, but he must do so after struggling with all his strength!
Seeing that Liao wanted to know his face, Rui Guoquan's face relaxed a little. Cheng Yuyang, on the other hand, looked at Liao Xiang with a complicated expression, as if he "wanted to say something but dared not".
Hehe, this brat also thinks that I probably won’t win.
Liao Xiang was confused, but his face remained calm: "Is it okay, Rui Zhao?"
Rui Zhao carefully asked back:
"Teacher Liao, you teach chess in the dojo...isn't it a profession?"
"It's not surprising, there are masters in the amateurs too!" Liao Xiang said perfunctorily: "Come on, come to a separate place Let's play the game in the game room."
"Ah...Okay, okay."
The girl could see that she wanted to object, but she looked at her father's face. Still agreed honestly.
At this time, the female receptionist who had just rushed the students back to the classroom also came back. Liao Xiang called directly to make arrangements: "Lulu, please find me the key to the game room. In addition..."< br>
Halfway through, Liao Xiang leaned over and lowered his voice: "After I go in, call the teacher. The kid he introduced is outrageous! Tell him to quickly arrange for someone to come over who can win the ordinary fourth-level class!" It’s better to be a respected old mage!”
“Huh?” The female receptionist was stunned: “Teacher Liao, this is...”
"Don't worry about it! Just say it was me, otherwise our dojo sign will be smashed!"
Liao Xiang saw that there was urging in Rui Guoquan's eyes, and hurriedly finished his explanation.
I hope the teacher will pay attention to it!
Otherwise, a little girl who has not yet determined her rank will directly kill all the students and teachers in our dojo. If word spreads about this, can we still continue the training? !
…
…
“Rui Zhao, let’s move faster. Both sides will keep it for an hour. After 30 seconds, one move will be lost. If it times out, you will lose. You see Is that okay?”
“Is that so formal?” Rui Zhao asked in a low voice.
Liao Xiang asked back: "This game of chess is likely to determine your future, shouldn't it be formal?"
"Uh, that's what you said." Rui Zhao nodded.
"Okay, Yuyang, you will be the referee and timekeeper. Help with the countdown!"
After Liao Xiang made arrangements, he sat down next to the game table. For this game, Liao Xiang decisively decided on a very tight game time, and he had his considerations in mind.
Rui Zhao is a self-taught Go player. Although she does not know why her chess skills have reached such an astonishing level, one thing is certain: this means that she rarely plays offline games.
When encountering an offline countdown, she will most likely panic.
Although there are many places to play Go online now, and online chess also has a timer.
Anyone who has actually played offline games knows that the time pressure online and offline gives people a completely different feeling.
A person who is accustomed to online chess may be overwhelmed by offline timed competitions.
If possible, Liao Xiang even wanted to shorten the time, so that Rui Zhao would be more likely to be uncomfortable.
But the "one hour, 30 seconds" timer is almost the shortest timer that can be put on the table. Any shorter timer can basically only be used for entertainment competitions. It is too ugly to use.
The three people who knew how to play chess quickly sat down. Although Rui Guoquan didn't understand Go at all, he still found a stool and sat down by the stage to watch the game.
"Then...the ego is black?" Rui Zhao asked.
The coached side usually moves first with black, which is an unwritten etiquette rule in Go.
Liao Xiang nodded without refusing.
To be honest, facing an opponent like Rui Zhao, he can never be said to be able to "guide" the opponent. It would be more appropriate for the two of them to guess first.
But in this game of chess, Liao Xiang tried his best to win!
Under the Chinese rules, the black chess that goes first must be posted with 7.5 meshes. Existing research generally believes that it is better to stick the white chess with this mesh.
Fighting against Rui Zhao, Liao would naturally have to spend every penny to win, and he would not care about courtesy and modesty.
"Teacher Liao, please give me some advice."
The girl immediately took the black seed to her hand and sat up straight. Coupled with her extremely outstanding figure and appearance, her whole body was like a peony blooming on the top of the bush. It's hard to take your eyes away for a while.
This little girl looks really good when she plays chess!
I really want those crooked brats inside to learn from it...
Liao Xiang wanted to sigh secretly, but he was not in the mood to appreciate it. He took the chess box from the white piece and kept it at hand as well.
"Well, let's move."
The girl nodded, elegantly took out a black stone from the chess box with two fingers, and landed on the small eye in the corner of the chessboard with ease. Her movements were smooth and very beautiful.
If there is any slight flaw in the white jade, it is that the shiny pink manicure on the girl’s hands is a bit off-putting.
When Liao Xiang was watching the match between Rui Zhao and Cheng Yuyang, he was extremely surprised as to why Rui Zhao Luozi was so skilled and dignified, yet he would do such a tacky pink manicure. It's as if the person playing chess and the person dressing up are not the same person.
However, this question only stayed in Liao Xiang's mind for half a second before he was forgotten.
"Ta!"
As Rui Zhaoluozi took the timer cleanly, Liao Xiang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile:
The action of taking the timer... is very familiar!
Does this kid learn all kinds of messy things like Go by himself? !
Liao Xiang knew that his little trick would probably not work.
Then... I'm afraid we'll have to go head-to-head!
He pursed his lips and picked up a white piece from the chess box without any hesitation.
