Chapter 13: 3-0 in the final, I can play even if I play
Faced with the Chinese Chess Academy's request to let him go all out in the finals, Qin Hao only replied with one sentence.
"Can the championship prize be exchanged for a TV set?"
This stumped Director Yu who was sent by the Chinese Chess Academy to contact him. If the leaders had changed, they wouldn't have arranged for him to come over and talk to a child.
"Ahem, this Go competition is the highest level competition for children in the country. You may only have one chance to win the championship in your life. Just because of a TV, you will miss the championship.
Don’t you think it’s a pity?”
However, Qin Hao's answer made Director Yu almost vomit blood.
"I can win the championship next time, but I urgently need a TV."
He really didn't want to eat snake melon until he vomited. It is estimated that when Lin Dongzhe recalled his childhood as an adult, he was still afraid of being dominated by snake melon, and he didn't want to experience it again.
Director Yu paused for a long time and tried to persuade him earnestly: "Classmate Qin Hao, this finals will be recorded and broadcast by CCTV. Don't you want to win the championship in front of the national audience and fellow villagers?"
Qin Hao thought for a moment: "Think."
Director Yu opened his mouth slightly, thinking that it was not easy, finally...
"But I want a TV more."
Director Yu almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on Qin Hao's face. How come this kid can't get enough of him?
Just as Director Yu was scratching his head, Qin Hao said again: "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you can help me find a way to replace the TV."
In 1978, a TV set sold for about 500 yuan, and including TV tickets, it was estimated to be about 600 yuan, while a refrigerator cost as much as 1,000 yuan, and refrigerator tickets were harder to get than TV tickets. After all, at this time
The output of refrigerators is low, and there are few domestic factories that can manufacture refrigerators.
Of course, this is only theoretical. TV sets on the market are still more popular than refrigerators. After all, there are basically no leftovers at home these days. Refrigerators are luxury goods, but buying a TV can greatly enrich your spare time life.
So it needs to be replaced. The reason why Qin Hao refuses to let go is because he has no way to replace it.
Director Yu frowned when he heard this. After fussing for a long time, he still asked for a TV.
"Is this considered speculation?"
Qin Hao said sternly: "How can this be considered speculation? I didn't sell it. I just replaced the unused refrigerator with a useful TV set. Everyone gets what they need and avoids waste."
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I can only go back and respond to the leader first."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
The finals will be held in two days, and Qin Hao is not in a hurry.
When Director Yu returned home, he explained Qin Hao's request, which made the leaders of the Chinese Chess Academy angry and funny.
"This kid came here to make a wish for us, and we even replaced it for him."
"However, when it comes to replacing a refrigerator with a TV, if you need it, you still have to give him change."
"No, this hole cannot be opened. How can the Tangtang Chess Academy be manipulated by a young boy?"
"But the question is, what if he just admits defeat in the final the day after tomorrow? Who will take the blame if the superiors blame him?"
Just as the leaders of the chess academy were scratching their heads, Chen Zude suddenly spoke.
"I do know that there is someone who recently got refrigerator tickets all over the world, but I don't know if he can get a TV set."
"Oh? Then I'll leave this matter to you, Xiao Chen. You must make sure that nothing goes wrong and don't let anything go wrong at the critical moment."
The next day, Director Yu came to the guest house again and told Qin Hao the good news.
"We have found the replacement person, and he can also give you two hundred yuan, but the brand of the TV must be changed to Beijing brand. It has been used for a month and a half. Do you think you can accept it?"
Under the anxious gaze of Director Yu, Qin Hao nodded. Things these days are relatively durable and durable. They can be used for ten or eight years without breaking. It doesn't matter if they are not brand new.
"That's great, but we have agreed not to let anything slip in the finals."
Liu Hong was also relieved. Although the second place had exceeded the expectations of the Suzhou Children's Palace, he was really unwilling to see the championship that was so easy to win fly away from him.
He had tried to persuade Qin Hao many times before, but the kid had the right idea, and even though his words were worn out, he still wouldn't let go.
Fortunately, the Chinese Chess Academy finally solved this problem.
On the day of the finals, a lot of onlookers came to the entrance of the Children's Palace in Beijing. Most of them were parents bringing their children. The staff of the Children's Palace at the entrance gave them some instructions on what to pay attention to when watching the game. When Qin Hao and his entourage came to the entrance, they also
was recognized.
"Look, the short guy walking at the front is Qin Hao."
Qin Hao's old face darkened. What does it mean to be short? He's obviously just young.
Following the guidance of the staff all the way to the final venue, after learning that the final would be recorded and broadcast, the Chinese Chess Academy became even more concerned. The location of the final was also changed from outdoors to a pavilion, and the audience seats were set up around the pavilion.
While it is convenient for TV stations to record, it can also show the audience the mass base of Go.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the finals officially started.
The final this time adopted a best-of-five-game system. Ma Xiaochun guessed the chess piece correctly in the first game and won the right to go first with black.
This time, Ma Xiaochun directly seized the spot 33 in the upper right corner.
Chen Zude, who was watching the battle from the side, nodded slightly: "This Ma Xiaochun has a very flexible mind. He is trying to retaliate in kind."
"Well, that's quite clever. He used the opponent's opening to find out how to break the game. It seems that he played this game with the belief that he would lose." Nie Weiping said with deep approval.
Qin Hao didn't think about Ma Xiaochun's move to seize the 3rd and 3rd position, but instead placed the 4th of 5th position without thinking.
Ma Xiaochun hesitated for a moment and continued to seize the spot three and three in the other corner.
Some parents watching the chess game couldn't help but complain when they saw this.
"Can this Ma Xiaochun know how to play chess? How could he be so messy?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right, hitting three and three in one hand is already a useless move, and now there is another move. Do you have to admit defeat at the beginning?"
Soon, Ma Xiaochun occupied all the four corners of the point 33 position. Not to mention the lively audience, even the national players of the Chinese Chess Academy looked at a loss.
However, Ma Xiaochun's mind was already fully focused on the chessboard at the moment, and he was completely uninterrupted by the outside world.
Qin Hao's moves were still very fast. Both sides went back and forth, and soon passed 50 moves and entered the middle stage.
At this stage, Ma Xiaochun's chess shape was obviously a bit messy, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on guarding the four corners.
However, Qin Hao did not fight with him, but instead built an offensive around the edge areas of the four corners steadily.
Chen Zude looked at the chess game being reviewed and said to Nie Weiping: "Did you notice that that kid's chess style has changed?"
Of course Nie Weiping knew that the boy he was talking about was Qin Hao.
Looking at the games played by Qin Hao in this National Children's Go Competition, Nie Weiping could not tell Qin Hao's chess style at all. If he had to define a style for his chess, it would be: fierce!
The attack was very fierce, with one attack after another, which is the main reason why so many players cried.
However, now Qin Hao has actually changed to a steady style. Is it because Ma Xiaochun "unexpectedly" used his best opening?
Of course not, mainly because he had beaten Ma Xiaochun so many times before, Qin Hao was afraid that he would play too hard and break Ma Xiaochun's heart, so he just played with him in this round.
However, Ma Xiaochun, who was in the chess game, had a completely different feeling. He only felt that Qin Hao's defense was really airtight and could not find any flaws. The mid-game attack that he was good at was useless.
, can only be done step by step.
This game gave Ma Xiaochun the feeling that it was a losing game, but he still gritted his teeth and played all the way to the official stage.
At move 203, the national players at the Chinese Chess Academy were all shaking their heads.
"Is it necessary to continue playing this game?"
"What is Ma Xiaochun doing? Is he planning to use his body to wear down his opponent? Isn't this a bit of a defeat?"
Chen Zude couldn't help but wonder when he saw this scene: "This kind of chess is too ugly."
Nie Weiping shook his head: "Playing chess is just playing chess. There is only right and wrong, not ugly or beautiful."
At move 245, Ma Xiaochun finally gave up and admitted defeat.
When he put down a handful of black stones on the chessboard, Ma Xiaochun let out a long sigh, and then said to Qin Hao: "In the next game, I hope you can try your best to defeat me. I want to see your true strength."
Seeing the longing light in Ma Xiaochun's eyes, Qin Hao nodded slightly.
After a twenty-minute rest, Ma Xiaochun and Qin Hao sat opposite each other again.
This time Qin Hao went first with black, still at the point three and three position.
Ma Xiaochun moved forward and landed on the third of four.
The two sides launched a fierce confrontation at the beginning.
The national players from the Chinese Chess Academy nodded their heads.
"This is what the finals should be like."
Chen Zude also smiled and said to Nie Weiping: "Now Ma Xiaochun is going to let go and fight with that kid."
Nie Weiping shook his head and said: "In terms of offense alone, Ma Xiaochun is still inferior. If this continues, I am afraid that Ma Xiaochun will be defeated before he reaches the official stage."
Just as Nie Weiping expected, although Ma Xiaochun showed good chess skills in this game, he eventually fell to 142 moves. This game also made Ma Xiaochun clearly see the gap in strength between him and Qin Hao.
But Ma Xiaochun did not show frustration. On the contrary, he said to Qin Hao with high spirits: "In the next game, I will definitely be able to persist until the official stage."
As if he was worried that Qin Hao would let off steam, he added: "Don't let me, I will do it with my own strength."
"Okay." Qin Hao was also infected by the other party's emotions and responded with a smile.
This scene also happened to be recorded by the television station.
In the third set, Ma Xiaochun started on the star position, which was also his best start. He had given up imitating Qin Hao because he found that not everyone could play Qin Hao's chess, and imitating Handan would only make people laugh.
Qin Hao did not give in according to Ma Xiaochun's request, and launched a fierce offensive from the beginning.
This scene also amazed the national players at the Chinese Chess Academy.
"These two kids are really amazing. They have such chess skills at such a young age."
"They are about to enter the Go youth class, but I think their chess skills are far beyond that of children of the same age. We can try to let them join the training team."
Chen Zude watched Nie Weiping resume the chess game and smacked his lips: "It's a pity that I didn't bring wine. Otherwise, playing chess with wine would be a great pleasure in life."
"I'm just greedy for wine, and I'm still looking for such a high-sounding excuse. Be careful of my sister-in-law getting angry with you," Nie Weiping joked.
"You are a disgrace to the scenery and are unbearably vulgar."
While the two were laughing and chatting, the third game of chess between Qin Hao and Ma Xiaochun also came to an end. After 152 moves, Ma Xiaochun fell into a long test for five minutes after Qin Hao made a move, and then gave up the move.
"Finally there is progress. I can hold on to 152 moves, which is a little better than before." Ma Xiaochun smiled bitterly.
Before Qin Hao had time to comfort him, he was invited to the podium by the host, and Ma Xiaochun and the other top ten players were also invited to the stage.
First, all the top ten players were awarded admission notices to the "China Chess Academy Youth Class", and then the top three were awarded.
The third place was won by Qian Yuping. The twelve-year-old's face was full of unwillingness. In his opinion, Ma Xiaochun was swept 3-0 in the finals, so he might as well let him go for a sprint. Originally, Ma Xiaochun also won after a hard battle.
He, so he was not convinced by Ma Xiaochun.
Although Ma Xiaochun won the runner-up, he did not appear very happy. Anyone who was tortured all morning would not be in a good mood.
Qin Hao took the championship medal and certificate of honor from the leader of the Chinese Chess Academy with a nonchalant expression, and weighed the "gold medal". It was obviously copper and worthless.
Fortunately, the sponsoring manufacturer soon sent a "voucher" for the refrigerator, and Qin Hao had a smile on his face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Hong grinned. This is a national championship. Although it is only a children's age group, for the Suzhou Children's Palace, it is already unthinkable.
Unbelievable achievements.
You must know that before departure, the goal set by his leader was only for someone to enter the top 24.
Hu Haiyang's mood was not so good. Although the second place was already a good result, didn't we agree before that we only need a TV?
"Liar!" Hu Haiyang glared at Qin Hao unwillingly.
Qin Hao was now immersed in the sea of people. Literally, those parents rushed over with their children after the awards were over, not to ask for autographs, but to let their children touch Qin Hao.
, saying that it is contaminating his luck, well, this is treating him as a money-splitting boy.
After finally getting out of the crowd, Qin Hao went straight to the Children's Palace warehouse to redeem his refrigerator.
That night, Director Yu took Qin Hao to meet the replacement. This guy acted like a spy, wearing a hat and sunglasses on an April day.
After both parties checked that the electrical appliances could be used normally, Qin Hao also received an additional two hundred yuan, and the transaction was completed.
…
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Song Ying had already gone to bed when she was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door outside the small courtyard.
"Is Comrade Song Ying at home?"
Song Ying walked out with her clothes on, and Huang Ling next door was also woken up and went out to check the situation.
"I am Song Ying, who are you?"
Song Ying didn't look like someone from a cotton mill, so she was faced with vigilant questions.
"I am the office director of Suzhou Children's Palace. My surname is He. Qin Hao is your child, right?"
"Yes, what happened to Haozi?" Song Ying's heart tightened.
"Hi, Comrade Song Ying, don't get me wrong. Qin Hao is fine. I'm here to tell you the good news. Qin Hao won the championship in the National Children's Go Competition. I just got the news and couldn't wait to inform you."
"Really? Haozi really won the championship?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wufeng quickly invited Director He into the room.
