Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! On December 23, the Ninth National College Student Chess Game Competition was held at Kyoto University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

A total of 128 colleges and universities signed up.

On the morning of the 23rd, an opening ceremony was held in a large hall of the school.

The two days of 24 and 25 are the qualifying stages of various chess sports.

Of course, for unpopular chess games such as Amazon Chess and Einstein Chess, there are not many people signing up, so there is no need to bother with any preliminaries, and the knockout stage will start directly.

Tsinghua University's Go and Chess, these two chess games, are one of the four seed schools. You don't need to participate in the preliminaries two days ago, and you can directly select for the knockout round on the 26th.

the day before departure.

In the chess and card club activity room, the president Lian Qingfeng patted Cheng Nuo on the shoulder.

"You are the only Go player in Tsinghua University. You are the hope of our whole village. Don't let us down."

"As long as you can perform normally, the first place is definitely yours." Lian Qingfeng said with mixed feelings in his heart.

Originally, his original intention was to choose someone with half his strength. But now it's a good thing, and somehow found a member who is even stronger than him.

In the Yangtze River, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and each wave is more powerful than each wave!

Lian Qingfeng felt emotional in his heart.

Faced with the president's encouragement, Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded, "Well, don't worry, I will let others understand that even without you, the president of Tsinghua University, we can still easily win the Go championship!!"

Lian Qingfeng: "..."

Although this is the reason.

But what Cheng Nuo said, how did Lian Qingfeng think about it, why did he think it was wrong?

…………

Zhang Yunjie, the vice president of the chess and card club, is in full charge of this activity.

Team leader + chess player, this is Zhang Yunjie's current identity.

On the morning of the 26th, eight contestants, including Zhang Yunjie, boarded the bus to Kyoto University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Why 8 people?

Because two contestants had already been eliminated in the previous qualifier stage, they missed the chance to participate in the knockout round.

On the bus, Zhang Yunjie sat next to Cheng Nuo and unfolded a form.

"This is the list of all 32 players in your Go program who have entered the knockout stage, as well as the grouping of the players."

Cheng Nuo picked up the form and read it.

As a popular project, there are a total of 128 colleges and universities, almost all of which have players to sign up for the Go competition, and some schools even send more than one player.

Therefore, a total of 158 contestants, after two days of fighting, determined 28 contestants to enter the knockout round, plus one player from each of the four major seed teams, they formed the final 32 contestants to participate in the knockout round.

Next, the 32 contestants will be divided into four groups A, B, C, and D, with eight players in each group, for a one-on-one knockout match.

Because the Go game takes a long time, before the semi-finals, all games are won or lost in one game.

The winner will advance unconditionally. The loser will be eliminated immediately!

At the same time, out of the principle of seed protection, the four seeded players were divided into four groups. If they want to meet, they have to go to the semi-finals at the earliest.

Cheng Nuo was assigned to Group B.

The opponent in the first knockout round is called... Ma Boyong.

…………

"Hello."

"Hello."

Ma Boyong is a plump, round boy with a shiny head.

After a friendly handshake, the two sides sat on the competition bench.

The venue for the competition is an activity room of Beijing Airlines.

The four knockout rounds of Group B will be played simultaneously. And there were only two referees watching in the four games.

However, there are at least dozens of large and small chess games going on today, and it is not bad to have two referees.

For guessing, Ma Boyong wins, holding the sunspot first.

pat~

pat~

Ma Boyong was not polite,

Relying on the advantage of holding the black chess first, he directly used the small mini Huaguo Liu to start the game.

Utilizing this kind of small mini-huaguo style opening, it can play against white chess in a big way, and continuously expand the advantage of the first mover.

It was just the first few moves, and from the perspective of the situation, Cheng Nuo fell into a passive state.

But that's okay.

When Ma Boyong was happy, Cheng Nuo picked up a white stone and placed it without hesitation.

Slap~!

Not to be outdone, Ma Boyong continued his layout of the mini Huaguo Liu. In my heart, I am still full of confidence.

Cheng Nuo smiled and made another quick move.

Slap~!

Slap~!

Perhaps stimulated by Cheng Nuo's rapid chess playing speed, Ma Boyong also played extremely fast.

Therefore, the progress of the competition was much faster than the other three groups.

While the other three groups were still taking steps and making moves carefully, Cheng Nuo had already filled almost half of the chessboard.

Cheng Nuo had a brain as powerful as a computer, so he was able to give his next judgment so quickly.

But what about Ma Boyong?

He has nothing.

So... he was tragic.

Slap~!

Cheng Nuo's white chess piece was made, so far, Cheng Nuo's layout has been completed.

"Cosmic... cosmic flow?!"

Ma Boyong also instantly understood Cheng Nuo's layout, and his heart trembled wildly.

He didn't expect that Cheng Nuo had already successfully laid out the cosmic flow's style of play under his nose.

Fight back?

If you can see through it a few steps earlier, you can barely stop it.

But now... there is no way to recover!

Ma Boyong was unable to look up at the sky.

Ten minutes later, the game was over.

"Referee, we're done playing here." Cheng Nuo raised his hand to signal the referee.

A referee came and counted.

In the end, Cheng Nuosheng had two eyes and a half, easily KO'd Ma Boyong, and advanced to the next round.

…………

In the morning, Group B entered 4 out of 8, and Cheng Nuo beat Ma Boyong from Yangcheng University.

In the afternoon, Group B will have 4-to-2 and 2-to-1 games, and the final winner will advance to the semi-finals.

The afternoon game starts at two o'clock.

Cheng Nuo came to the competition venue early. It was still the activity room, but there were only four players left.

The other three also arrived early, and when they saw Cheng Nuo arriving, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on Cheng Nuo.

There is exploration, but more is observation.

To be honest, the other three didn't know much about Cheng Nuo. To be precise, I have never heard of it.

At the beginning, when they knew that they were assigned to the same group as Tsinghua University, they were quite desperate.

As for the big devil Lian Qingfeng, they were not just players who participated in the college chess competition for the first time, and they didn't have any desire to fight.

But when they got the competition list and saw Cheng Nuo's name in the column of Tsinghua University, they laughed with relief.

That's right, Lian Qingfeng is already a senior, and he has no time to participate in the competition.

For a moment, they had the urge to cry.

Finally, the shadow that has been hanging over the heads of all college students' Go lovers for three years, finally... will not come again!

However, what they don't know is... that shadow will not disappear because of Lian Qingfeng's absence.

Because... Cheng Nuo is here!
