Chapter 57: You can’t pry…but you can play chess!
May 6, 2023, evening.
As soon as the news came out that Shang Chaotian, the chess king of the generation, once again played in front of the public, it immediately caused a huge response in the Go community.
Almost all Go forums, WeChat groups, and group circles are discussing this matter. In the game room of Yiguo, chess fans are pouring in like a tide, directly exceeding the user capacity of the game room. maximum limit.
On the official Weibo of the Chinese Chess Association, a long list of comments came to seek verification:
Is the person currently playing chess on Yiguo using the golden ID user [Chaotianque] really the "Seven Crown Champion" Shang Chaotian himself?
Although it was past the off-duty time, because there were so many people who came to ask questions, the Chess Association official still sent out a Weibo fifteen minutes after [Chaotian Que] started the game.
[Chinese Go Association]: It has been confirmed that the real-name authenticated Yiguo account [Chaotianque] of Mr. Shang Chaotian, the current chairman of the Chinese Go Association, has not been stolen. Thank you to all chess fans for your concern and support!
Although this reply does not seem to directly answer the questions of chess fans, the actual meaning is very obvious.
The person playing chess with [Yizhao Qiyi] first is none other than Shang Chaotian himself!
As soon as this Weibo post came out, the entire Go circle exploded.
You know, Shang Chaotian has never played chess in public since he fainted midway through the third set of the 2015 Chess Holy War and announced his retirement.
Even when his most proud disciple Lei Qi was determined to be in Duan, the Chess Association wanted to invite Shang Chaotian, who had no official position at the time, to play a public game of chess with Lei Qi to guide him, but he politely declined.
Since then, although the outside world knows that Shang Chaotian is still teaching students, engaged in various work in Go, and was elected as the chairman of the Chinese Go Association five years ago.
But if you want to ask about Shang Chaotian's current specific strength, it is really unclear. Except for Shang Chaotian's three students and a few very close friends, the rest are unknown. That's why when Lei Qi played against [Youfeng Laiyi] a few days ago, a lot of people speculated whether the chess king's chess skills had really degraded to this point.
But who would have thought that just a few days after the previous rumor was proven false, the genuine Shang Chaotian would now appear on the Yiguo platform!
All professional players and old chess fans rushed into the game room where [Chaotian Que] was located almost immediately to watch the long-awaited generation of chess kings play live.
However, after the initial surprise and excitement passed, another question began to be discussed wildly in the Go circle:
Who is [Yizhao Qiyi]?
Why did Shang Chaotian, the current chess champion and current chairman of the Chess Association, who had not shown his hand for so long, come online to play handicap chess?
Even more, it’s not just Shang Chaotian...
…
…
“No, everyone BU (Bilibili netizens)!
“This [ Yizhao Qiyi] It’s not just a question of why Lao Shang would go online and give first chess! This guy has a huge problem, do you understand? ”
Station B, in the live broadcast room named [Okay, let’s eat chicken this time].
Anchor Lin Ruixin immediately quit a shooting battle royale game after receiving a message ten minutes ago, logged back into Yiguo, and entered the room where [Chaotian Que] was located to watch the battle.
“Don’t just look at what is in front of you and say that you can do whatever it takes to play chess with Shang Chaotian, the chess king of the generation.
“Let me tell you: If Lao Shang just plays a game of chess with a certain person, , the example is so easy to explain, you can explain it casually!
"I can give any reason! For example, this [Yizhao Qiyi] is the child of a senior executive of a sponsor of our Chess Association. He especially likes Go. He quarreled with his father and wanted to compete with our Shang. The chess king is asked to take the lead in the next game. Can Chairman Shang refuse?
"We are a human society in China, and it's not like you guys at BU don't understand! As long as all aspects are in place, let alone Chairman Shang, even if it's just...well, let's not talk about it, I just made a joke last time It was approved by the Chess Association!
“Let’s get back to the topic! Why do I tell everyone that [Yizhao Qiyi] has a big problem? Look at his game records in the past three days..."
Lin Ruixin talked in front of the camera and told the live broadcast room in detail The local audience is learning how outrageous it is that [Yizhao Qiyi] can play against [Monkey King Yishenghui], [Jin Hengyi], and [Little Yang Meie] within three days. The more he talks about it, the more exaggerated it becomes. , fully aroused the appetite of the audience in the live broadcast room.
Many viewers who were doing other things stopped and turned to Yiguo to witness the "comeback game" of a generation of chess kings.
However, although Lin Ruixin appears relaxed and humorous in front of the camera and speaks out when he has something to say, it does not mean that he has no ambition
For example, he noticed that the IP address of [Yizhao Qiyi] was also located in Dongjiang.
But he didn’t say that.
For another example, he quickly judged that [Yizhao Qiyi]'s strength level was also around the third level.
But he still didn’t say anything.
…
…
Well... this old guy Lao Shang is online, he is so impressive!
The middle game is almost over, and there are still so many people!
Yu Qingguang glanced at the system messages in the game room that were still receiving a steady stream of users entering the room, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
But...it's normal!
After all, this old guy had a great reputation before, and now he wears an official hat...
Not to mention that this guy hasn't played chess in front of others for seven or eight years.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingguang smiled softly and looked through the window at Rui Zhao, who was concentrating on the game in the chess classroom. Not far behind her, notary You Chan and the camera were still doing their jobs. Witnessing the entire process of her game responsibly. Well, if the ID of [Yizhao Qiyi] was only noticed by some interested people before...
Then I'm afraid it will be known to everyone in the future.
When he enters the profession later, I wonder if Rui Zhao can handle this level of attention...
Speaking of this, Yu Qingguang couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Obviously this is just an 18-year-old girl who is a bit silly...
There is no other way. If you want to find a girl with the same conditions in the Go circle, you can't do it at all. Not found.
Yu Qingguang couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
In the future... I'll find a way to compensate her more!
It is indeed a bit shameless to coax such a silly kid into agreeing to play chess in public with a group of people with such a great reputation...
Hey, let’s not think about it for now!
Let’s take a good look at this game!
Yu Qingguang was just about to turn his attention back to the game itself, when his cell phone rang.
Looking at the screen, [Caller: Liu Yuhong]
Yu Qingguang raised his eyebrows and picked up the call calmly.
"Hey, Yu Hong, what's going on? It can't be Sun Hou'er, and he has offended you, right?"
It's Yu Qingguang's fault every time he takes advantage of Sun Yi. Liu Yuhong's regular program of telephone communication, both of them like this topic very much.
There is no way around this. After all, although Liu Yuhong and Zou Yang are peaceful on the surface, they are secretly at odds with each other.
As Zou Yang's teacher, Yu Qingguang naturally turned to "Little Sheep". If two people don't find a common topic, it's easy for the conversation to have hidden meanings.
So Sun Yixian naturally played this role.
Whenever there is some minor disagreement, they can quickly reach an agreement by saying something sarcastic about General Sun.
Although, Sun Yi seems to be Yu Qingguang's student...but this is no longer important.
Unfortunately, Liu Yuhong was obviously not in the mood to talk about this today.
"Uh, Yu Jiuduan, it's not Sun Yina's business...
"I mainly want to ask, what is [Yizhao Qiyi]'s background, and why Teacher Shang would play with her on the tub chess? "
" Sun Yi told you? "Yu Qingguang did not answer, but asked a very straightforward question.
The relationship between the two women is very delicate. Although they cherish each other on the surface, it is actually difficult to talk to each other.
And Jin The old man is too venerable. After all, Liu Yuhong is almost three rounds younger, so it is not easy to inquire directly
Therefore, through the elimination method, Yu Qingguang quickly found out where the mole was.
"Uh..." Liu Yuhong was embarrassed for a while, and finally said: "I, I forced him, don't blame him!"
"Ha, this is the relationship between our teachers and students. It’s about that!”
Yu Qingguang replied with a smile, and at the same time secretly decided to use this as an excuse to blackmail Sun Yi into coaching two more games.
“As for the matter of [Yizhao Qiyi]... I have nothing to say at the moment. You can ask Lao Shang later to see if he is willing to tell you...”
"But Yu Jiuduan, I really..."
"Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Seeing that Liu Yuhong was impatient, Yu Qingguang stopped talking first.
"Although I can't tell you the specific situation yet, but...
" If you want to play a few games with [Yizhao Qiyi], I can arrange it! ”
"...Huh?"
