Chapter 54: Is he already at this level before entering the profession? !
"Hello, Mr. Jin! I'm sorry to bother you so late today!"
"Hi! Chairman Shang, why do you want to bother me? I'm still worried about the lack of popularity at home. Here!”
The old man known as “Mr. Jin” saw Shang Chaotian coming to the door with a gift in person and hurriedly welcomed him into the living room.
Jin Hengyi, whose full name is Jin Lao, is one of the two oldest active players in the Chinese Go community.
He has been competing in the Chinese chess world for more than 40 years since he determined his rank at the age of thirteen. He can be said to be an evergreen tree in the Chinese chess world. Moreover, when he was at the peak of his chess skills, he also won the national championship and the world runner-up. Until now, he is active on the front line of professional Go and practices diligently.
But boxing is afraid of young people, and the same is true for chess.
At this age, Jin Lao's chess skills are not as good as before. He is only around the fourth or fifth level, so there is no need to expect any good results.
But for him, Go is already a part of life. If he doesn't play Go, it's no different from death.
…
The two sat down in the living room, Mr. Jin’s wife helped pour tea, and Shang Chaotian apologized humbly again:
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Jin, this time it was indeed an unkind invitation! It’s just that this Wen Jie and I discussed the matter and thought it would be better to have a respected senior to take over the battle!
"Now that the other seniors have retired, only you and Mr. Wu continue to shine, Wu. I'm in Dongjiang and it's not convenient for me to come to your door, so we shamelessly invited you..."
"Hey! Chairman Shang, what are you talking about? It's an honor for you to find me!
“I’m not like that old lady. At my age, insisting on playing competitions really has no effect on young people. Sometimes I feel like I’m disturbing them.
"As long as my old bones can still be of some use to Chinese Go, then it doesn't hurt to mention it, but it doesn't matter!"
Not only was Jin Hengyi not unhappy at Shang Chaotian's request, but he was extremely unhappy. enthusiasm.
"...However, I am quite curious: Which young talent is so exaggerated that Chairman Shang personally invites people to test his strength?"
Yes, today This appointment was made by Shang Chaotian to Jin Hengyi yesterday.
He hoped that Jin Hengyi could play online chess with a young man tonight to confirm his strength. So the old man took a nap in the afternoon, ate dinner early, adjusted himself, and waited for Shang Chaotian to arrive.
"Ah... you will know after a while!"
Shang Chaotian gave up a little.
“It’s hard to reveal too much about this matter for the time being... To be honest with you, I told you that this chess was played to test the strength of a certain young man. And like Sun Yi, he has I don’t even know why I played this game, but it ended in such a muddle this afternoon!”
“Oh, you’ve been doing more and more work since you became the chairman!”
Jin Hengyi couldn't help but smile and joke:
"Okay! Then I'll wait and see! Oh, is the time almost up? Or let's start quickly!"
"Sorry to trouble you!" Shang Chaotian stood up to respond and spoke to someone far away in Dongjiang. Yu Qingguang sent a WeChat message.
…
“Hey! To be honest, I really don’t play online chess very much, it’s a eyesore!”
Zai Shang Chaotian helped Jin Hengyi log in to Yiguo. During the break, Mr. Jin couldn't help but express his feelings.
Shang Chaotian had just logged in the silver ID [Jin Hengyi] online and immediately apologized: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Jin! It's that child who is in Dongjiang now, otherwise I would definitely bring her here today to meet you in person!"
“Hey, I just said that casually, don’t be so cautious.”
Jin Hengyi couldn’t help but smile.
"Are you logged in? What's his nickname? I'll invite him!"
"Ah, this won't work, this won't work! Please wait a moment."
Shang Chaotian glanced at the screen again and saw that the game application from [Yizhao Qiyi] had been sent, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Here we are, do you think we should start now?"
"Start! I want to see what the young man's chess skills are that you, Chairman Shang, are personally paying attention to!"
< br>Jin Hengyi approached the computer and directly accepted the split-first game.
…
Hmm, I guess he is at the lower end of his profession!
Not bad at all! It is estimated that he will move to the middle rank soon...
While Jin Hengyi was playing, he judged the opponent's strength through various details.
Although Jin Hengyi's playing skills are not as good as before due to age, physical strength and other reasons, after all, he was once a top chess player in China. He can still quickly analyze the quality of his opponent from various details. Judge it.
...The basic skills are very solid, there are no obvious shortcomings, and there are even good skills from time to time.
Almost all aspects require more experience and practice to further polish. Hey, no wonder Shang Chaotian would pull this person out alone, he is indeed a malleable talent.
Having played most of the game, the two sides entered the gate in a very close situation.
At the end of the count, Jin Hengyi held Bai Xiaosheng twice and a half.
[Yizhao Qiyi]: Thank you, Teacher Jin, for your advice!
After the point-taking was completed and the winner was determined, the other party politely thanked them in the chat column.
Jin Hengyi smiled when he saw this and typed a reply.
[Jin Hengyi]: No way! The guy has good basic skills! Very promising! I guess I won’t be able to play you next time!
"Uh..."
After seeing this sentence from Jin Hengyi, Shang Chaotian on the side seemed to have planned to say something, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth.
However, Jin Hengyi became interested at this time and asked him casually:
"Chairman Shang, the identity of this child cannot be revealed specifically, but his age can always be said, right? Is he fifteen years old?"
>"Well...she is eighteen this year."
"Eighteen?!"
This time Jin Hengyi was rarely surprised.
"Eighteen... But if you are eighteen, the child is still outstanding... but it is not an exaggeration! Is this worth the trouble, Chairman?"
There is a reason why Jin Hengyi said this.
Although reaching the third-level professional level at the age of eighteen is already an outstanding achievement.
But as we all know, in the Go world, there is never a shortage of talented people.
Especially in this era where the peak age of chess players is getting earlier and earlier.
Let’s take the top three domestic rankings as an example.
Dai Ran, challenged Tianyuan at the age of eighteen.
Lin Ruixin, became the chess master at the age of eighteen.
Lei Qi, he became the world champion before he was even eighteen years old!
And this kid, at the age of eighteen, is only in the third level.
How to describe this...
It is almost equivalent to the feeling of an actress who was a child star in the entertainment industry.
If you want to say whether she is beautiful or not, she is definitely much more beautiful than the average person.
But if you really want to compare her with the recognized beauties in the entertainment industry, she really pales in comparison.
Such a young man could actually move Shang Chaotian?
Driven by curiosity, Jin Hengyi couldn't help but continue to ask:
"...How many stages does he have now? He can't exceed four stages!"
"This..." Shang Chaotian was a little confused about how to answer, so in the end he had to tell the truth: "To tell you the truth, she is currently working hard to get 5th Dan amateur!"
After hearing this, Jin Hengyi smiled slightly complacently:< br>
“Strive for five-dan? Look! I’d say he can’t surpass four-dan at most!
"...
"...Eh, right? What did you just say? Say it again?
“Strive for...Amateur 5th Dan?!
“He has reached this level before he even entered the professional ranks? ! "
Well, after a long discussion with editor Bacon yesterday, we decided to make major changes to some of the previous non-main plots. Let me tell you about them first.
The main reason for changing the book, as everyone in the book circle knows, is the first live broadcast and the original author’s design issues. This is really a poisonous point that I had never imagined before writing this book, but in fact it is so obvious...
Originally, I was worried that my level was limited, and I might not be able to change it, and I tended not to change much. But lately, every time I click on a comment, there will always be a few comments popping up, which has seriously affected the moral code of code, and I can't do anything without changing it. Hope it won’t change!
The initial idea is that all plots of Aquaman Xu Nuan will be reasonably replaced by another new female supporting character, and the behavior of the original protagonist will be changed to be more neutral as much as possible (but it will definitely still be somewhat negative). The main thing that affects subsequent reading is that the character Xu Nuan will be completely replaced. The person who will meet Rui Zhao at the City Cup will be a young lady, and nothing else.
After the major revision, I will pin it to the top of the book circle and tell everyone in the latest chapter "Writer's Words" that if you are willing to go back and re-read the majorly revised chapters to familiarize yourself with the new characters, that's fine. If you don't want to, it's basically OK. You can also continue reading.
Thank you for your support!
