"I recognize all the chess players in the world who have the ability to compete for championships. Uncle Sun...Uncle Sun, you are obviously not among them. And you are not young. If you really had that kind of strength, you would have achieved fame long ago. There are many young geniuses in the Go world.
, but there are few late bloomers. Hey, Uncle Sun, don’t mind, maybe you are really good among amateur chess players, but..." Xie Yi stopped, trying to think of his words, trying to put the words behind "but"
Here's a less hurtful truth.
Sun Suhe couldn't help but be stunned. Xie Yi's words were serious, but her tone was extremely loud. According to the meaning of her words, the experts who are qualified to enter her eyes are only the top ten or twenty people in the world.
That’s it. Anyone who can say this is either a fool with great ambitions and little talent, who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth, or a supreme genius who has climbed Mount Tai and made the world small. Is she a fool or a genius?
Not to mention this, there is another very serious problem. I am obviously still very young. What happened to "Uncle Sun, who is not young"? Is it because this suit is more old-fashioned? Sun Suhe immediately declared solemnly: "Don't call me Uncle Sun."
My uncle, hey, he looks ten years older when you call him, just call me by my name."
"You said before that you were here to play, couldn't you be serious?" Sun Suhe asked.
Xie Yi curled her lips. Sun Suhe's words aroused her thoughts. She couldn't help but sigh softly with a frustrated face: "You really don't believe it either."
"What you said is indeed incredible. If I say you believe it completely, then I would be lying. I never talk nonsense." Sun Suhe said shamelessly.
Ah, I am such a shameless adult, he complained silently in his heart, and then said: "However, it is not that I don't believe it at all. Just like you said, there will never be a shortage of young geniuses who emerge from nowhere in Go."
Xie Yi suddenly felt like a confidant, and he picked up a black stone and slapped it on the chessboard: "I mean, Uncle Sun... uh, Sun Suhe, you quite understand chess."
As she spoke, she pushed her phone in front of Sun Suhe and said with a proud smile: "Although I don't understand Japanese and have no way of knowing who the real people with these account nicknames are, judging from their chess skills, they are definitely professional chess players, hehe
, how about it, my winning rate is not bad."
Sun Suhe picked up his phone and took a look. On the online chess platform Youxuanjian, the level of the account nicknamed "Yan Kuangtu" was impressively displayed as 9th dan. What's even more astonishing is that this account played a total of 97 games and actually won 89 of them.
, only lost 8 games, and the winning rate was simply terrifying.
Sun Suhe casually turned to the front a few pages of the game record, and his eyes couldn't help but condense. He noticed that the first game of this account was played on November 10th, which was the day before the Super Honinbo battle.
Could this be a coincidence? Or...
When Xie Yi saw Sun Suhe flipping to the front, his face suddenly turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "The opponent at the beginning was very weak, because it was a new account, so there was nothing we could do, and the first three games were played by others, so
The winning rate is a little bit watery, but it’s only a little watery, and the subsequent results are all real.”
Sun Suhe nodded repeatedly. Even excluding the games with weaker opponents when the account level was still low at the beginning, this winning rate is quite terrible. I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary professional chess players to achieve it. So I have really met a genius? What does Sun Suhe mean?
Xie Yi really aroused great curiosity. If you think about it for a moment, you will find that this child is full of mysteries, and you can't help but want to find out.
Of course, what he was most concerned about was what Xie Yi knew about the Super Honinbo Battle. However, this had to be figured out slowly. Sun Suhe was not in a hurry and just asked curiously: "So, why do you want to come to the Japanese Chess Academy to play?"
It was rare for someone to not treat his words as a joke. Xie Yi was so excited that he could not complain and replied: "Of course it's to make money."
"Make money?" Sun Suhe was quite surprised by this answer.
"That's right, make money. I want to make a lot of money as soon as possible, enough for my parents to recognize me as a professional chess player." Xie Yi took a deep breath as he spoke, and his cheeks became redder with excitement.
: "Being a professional chess player is actually a very risky thing. Except for those at the top of the pyramid, the income of most professional chess players is very average. And chess
Your income is directly linked to your performance, and your performance is greatly affected by your form. Last year, you were in high spirits and won the championship, but this year your form has been bad and you have no results. This kind of thing is too common. No one can guarantee that they can be like Stone Buddha Lee Chang-ho.
Having maintained a top-notch status for more than ten years, the income of professional chess players fluctuates greatly, which is beyond their control."
"What's more, even Stone Buddha Lee Chang-ho will inevitably deteriorate as he grows older. The income of most jobs follows an upward curve with age, while the income of professional chess players fluctuates dramatically when they are young.
After the teenage years, there is a sharp decline. If you can't take advantage of the peak years of your youth to achieve results, and when you are older, you will have no other means of making a living except Go, and you will not be able to rely on yourself, you will have a very hard life.
"
"My father is a frustrated professional chess player. He failed to achieve results when he was young, and now he can only open a small chess hall to barely support the family. So he and my mother have always been firmly opposed to me taking the professional path. They made it very clear,
If a professional chess player cannot fully devote himself to chess, he will bet everything in his life on chess.
, then you will never be able to make a head start among the endless stream of geniuses, but even if you risk everything, only a few people will succeed in the end. Nine times out of ten, you will lose, and you may lose your entire life. What's more, I am still a girl, and I don't know how to play Go.
In thousands of years, no woman has ever been able to be among the strongest."
Xie Yi had obviously been holding these words in her heart for a long time. As she spoke, she clenched her fists unconsciously and her eyes turned red: "I know what they said is right, but...but I have already decided that Go
It is my lifelong ambition. I want to become a professional chess player no matter what. I have thought countless times that the only way to get them to recognize me is to make enough money from my chess, enough to make me have enough food and clothing.
Worry is enough to make them stop worrying."
"Debuting in Japan is the best choice. The competition is much weaker than in China, but the income is several times richer. In addition to the seven major title matches in the main selection, there are also mature female-style title matches, female-style chess masters, and female-style titles.
Celebrities, female streamers Honinbo, I have titles and bonuses
Determined to win. Besides, chess players living in Japan are nothing new. There are many precedents to follow, such as chess master Wu Qingyuan, Lin Haifeng 9th Dan, Zhang Xu 9th Dan, etc. They have all achieved great success in the Japanese chess world. Since they can, why should I
Can't?"
The more Sun Suhe listened, the more moved he became. He did not expect that this little girl who was only fourteen or five years old could have such ambition. He finally understood what Xie Yi said about playing in the gym. Sun Suhe asked: "So
You said that you want to be a blockbuster when you kick the gym?"
Xie Yi's eyes lit up when she looked at Sun Suhe. She had never found a close friend. She hit a piece on the chessboard with high spirits: "That's right. If you follow the rules of the Japanese chess academy, from being a student, to entering the dan, to accumulating
Achievements, to qualify for the title competition... step by step
I really can't wait to take my time. I want to make a big splash and get recognition and qualifications directly. It is best to sit in the real Yuxuan and fight with the seven-time champion within half a year. Within a year,
At least I want to win one title from Inoue Yuta’s 9th Dan.”
Sun Suhe asked: "But wouldn't this completely mess up the rules of the Japanese chess academy? Is it feasible? Isn't it a bit fanciful?"
Xie Yi didn't seem to have this worry at all. She smiled confidently: "Rules are used to protect ordinary players, and are never used to restrict masters. Strength speaks for itself. Wu Qingyuan's game of Three Stars and Tianyuan was not a challenge.
Is it a good story about centuries-old rules in a chess sect? Lee Sedol 9th Dan is also a figure like Sun Wukong. He often challenges the rules and single-handedly forces the Korean Chess Academy to change the outdated and outdated system."
"Are you talking about the reform of the rank system?"
Sun Suhe also knew this very well. Originally, according to the traditional regulations of chess academies in various countries, chess players needed to participate in special promotion competitions organized by chess academies. They spent a lot of energy and time accumulating results in promotion competitions in order to gradually improve their ranks.
At that time, Li Sedol entered Dan at the age of twelve and was promoted to the third level at the age of sixteen. He gradually became popular in various competitions and was known as the "Undefeated Boy of Bird Island".
However, he has been unsatisfactory in the promotion competition and has been stuck in the third stage for a long time. Moreover, because the promotion competition involves a lot of time and energy, it even affects his state in other competitions. Lee Sedol decided to give up the promotion competition in anger.
, even if you do three stages in your life, you will never spend any more time on it.
However, Li Sedol's chess ability was already world-class at that time. As a third-dan player, he killed everyone in various chess matches, and continuously defeated high-rank players. He was so tired that all the nine-dan players were disgraced and even shaken.
The foundation of the tier system, if he continues to kill like this, and the ninth dan is defeated by the third dan one after another, the tier system and the promotion competition will become a joke without authority, and there will be no meaning of existence.
The Korean Chess Academy had to find a way to quickly get him to the ninth level, so it decided to reform the rank system, stipulating that chess players who won the world runner-up and the domestic competition champion would be directly promoted to one rank, while the world champion would be promoted to three ranks in a row. The Chinese Chess Academy and
The Japanese Chess Academy also made reforms accordingly. After the new regulations were introduced, Lee Sedol rose to the ninth level in just half a year, proving his extraordinary chess prowess.
Xie Yi said: "As long as you have enough strength, even the traditional promotion system with a strong foundation can be reformed. I just want to skip some boring processes, so what's the problem?"
"Well, it sounds weird at first, but after you said it, it is indeed a very feasible idea." Sun Suhe nodded in agreement.
Xie Yi was a little frustrated. After all, after the excitement passed, she thought of the reality. The reality is that she is still sitting in the game hall without making any progress. Xie Yi muttered in a low voice: "Hey, if it can be done,
That's great, but it's a pity that it's useless to tell you this."
Sun Suhe was worried that he could not induce her to have a deep conversation. Since Xie Yi said so, why not prescribe the right medicine?
"Why is it useless? It seems that it is fate that we two meet here." Sun Suhe patted the table lightly, looked at Xie Yi's eyes, and said slowly in a serious tone: "To tell you the truth, in fact
Our company also operates the brokerage business for professional chess players, and I am a professional broker who specializes in discovering the seeds of genius."
