Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 53 53. I wanted to scold him loudly (double monthly ticket! Please vote!)

"I lost."

Xiao Xiao sighed and chose to stop the clock and admit defeat.

Starting from a small flaw in move 105, Ying Jie restored the situation with sharp attacks. In the end, Xiao Xiao thought it was his black move that was good, but in the end he was completely defeated by Ying Jie's move 194.

Recalling several games with Ying Jie, the opponent showed flaws and he could not effectively exploit them. The opponent was always dead but not stiff. Any small mistakes he made would be magnified and severely punished by Ying Jie.

It’s different from last time. There is already a gap in chess ability. This guy is getting stronger and stronger.

Xiao Xiao looked at Ying Jie and didn't know what to say. Did this guy realize his terrifying growth rate?

"The opponent in this competition is my good friend Xiao Xiao. I made mistakes and was lucky enough to win and advance to the top 16. The world of winning and losing is still very cruel. I hope we can meet less often in competitions in the future."

After the game, several media arranged interviews. As one of the winners, Ying Jie also accepted interviews from several media.

The interview was also very quick. After all, none of them are high-level chess players. Even the name of newcomer Wang Fan Ruoyu is not well-known among most chess players, let alone Ying Jie, who has not yet determined his level.

After an interview lasting more than ten minutes, only a few words may appear in the text, or even less.

Any industry is the same pyramid, the winner takes all, and the bottom can only get a small part.

After the interview, the reporter didn't say any polite words and left directly with the equipment.

Ying Jie took his backpack and prepared to go back to the dojo. The competition venue was not far from the dojo. Ying Jie, who had not received the bonus yet, estimated his wallet.

I think I can still catch the evening bus at this time, so I plan to take the bus back.

But at this time, a middle-aged uncle came over.

"Hello, this is player Ying Jie! Do you have time to chat for a while? I am the manager of the Shanxi Hongyang Coal Mine Team. We are a second-tier team and are recruiting some outstanding chess players to join.

Our coach has read your chess records and feels that you have great potential. Can we have a chat if you have time? "

Hearing that it was the team besieging B, Ying Jie declined: "Sorry, I have to catch the bus, so I may not have time."

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this and said: "It's okay, if you are in a hurry, my car is parked outside and I can take you there.

Everyone give each other a chance, maybe you will be interested in our team. "

Ying Jie thought for a moment, out of vigilance, considering that the other party might be a liar.

It's still a bit unsafe to take the other person's car back, but if the other person says so, we can still talk for a while.

You can also take this opportunity to inquire about the treatment of Go teams in this world. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. It is also good to get some information from the opponent.

"Let's find a coffee shop nearby to talk."

Ying Jie took a look at the time. If he couldn't catch the bus, he would take a taxi back then.

Anyway, I have advanced to the top 16, and I already have a guaranteed bonus of 2,000 yuan.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately grinned: "Okay, there is a coffee shop next to it, you can go there and wait for a while.

I called my coach and asked us to come over and we could have a nice chat. "

"good."

Ying Jie nodded when he heard this, took his bag and ordered a glass of ice water at the street cafe and sat down.

Not long after, the middle-aged man came over quickly with another person: "Sorry, I'm a little late. Waiter, please bring three glasses of iced Americano."

Hearing this, the man standing next to the middle-aged man sat down on his chair and shook his head crazily: "No need, I can't get used to drinking this stuff.

Get a Coke, let's be real, coffee is too bitter. "

"I don't need it either. Just drink ice water."

Ying Jie also refused the other party's coffee, and then set his sights on the man who came with the middle-aged man.

He looked like a middle-aged man about 40 years old. He was a little thin and had a lot of calluses on his hands. He looked like the kind of worker who did heavy physical work.

Wearing a shabby denim jacket, he was unshaven and had not been shaved carefully. He put his hands on the back of the chair and crossed his legs. The whole person exuded a casual atmosphere.

"Then just a glass of iced Americano. Does Teacher Ying Jie want some dessert? Tiramisu? After all, you have been playing chess all afternoon, so you must be hungry."

The middle-aged man was very attentive and did everything well, but Ying Jie still declined his kindness: "No, just call me Ying Jie.

I haven't asked you what your name is yet. "

"Look at my brain, I forgot to introduce myself.

My surname is Zhu, and my given name is Hongtao. Zhu Hongtao is the current manager of the Shanxi Hongyang Coal Mine Team. The person next to me is the coach of our team, Long Yan 8th Dan. You should have heard of him. "

Upon hearing this, Ying Jie immediately looked at this careless man.

Of course I have heard of him, a rather legendary player in the world of Go.

He was just an ordinary painter who was self-taught and missed the age limit for the regular Dan. However, he later received guidance from others to participate in amateur competitions and won the rank of amateur 6th Dan.

Once, there were two places for amateur players in the World Series, and Long Yan entered the World Series directly through the qualifiers.

Originally, the participation of amateur players in the World Series was purely a matter of giving away food in one round. It was only to reflect the diversity of the competition that only two places were given.

But Long Yan went from the top 64 to the semi-finals of this competition, and in the eight-to-four match, he even defeated the favorite Gao Yongxia 9th dan at the time.

Because the two met only in this World Series, Long Yan has a 100% winning rate against Gao Yongxia to a certain extent.

Later, he participated in the World Amateur Go Competition and won the championship, and was awarded amateur 8-dan by RB.

The only pity is that he was not awarded the honor of being a professional player, but there is no doubt that he definitely has professional ninth-dan chess skills.

Looking at Ying Jie's expression, Zhu Hongtao knew that the other party knew Long Yan's story.

If you want to contact the other party, you must first make the other party believe in you, and bringing the coach here is to let the other party see the professionalism of your team.

Although there are few relevant reports about Long Yan, they can be found easily on the Internet, and Ying Jie already believes in the identity of the other party.

However, although Ying Jie was surprised by the legendary figure Long Yan, he still kept his head clear: "I don't think I have heard of your team."

"We are a newly formed team this year. Our main players are Gu Shaoshang 9th dan and Zhang Laoxi 7th dan. At the same time, we also signed this year's newcomer Wang Fanruoyu first dan."

Gu Shaoshang’s 9th dan knows that he once won the right to challenge a celebrity. Zhang Laoxi’s 7th dan was the champion of the China-Korea title bilateral competition the year before last, and his 4th dan was directly promoted to 7th dan.

Both of them are young, Zhang Laoxi is 20 years old in 7th Dan, and Gu Shaoshang is only 23 years old in 9th Dan. They are said to have the potential to win the world championship.

but……

"Didn't Fan Ruoyu sign a contract with the Jinling Yangtze Team in his early period?"

Ying Jie was a little surprised when he heard this. When he checked the opponent's information before, the news said that the opponent had signed a contract with a besieging team.

"Hey, if the price is right, liquidated damages can also be paid."

Although he said that, Ying Jie still wanted to think more about it when he heard that the other party was a newly established second-tier league team.

After all, there may be other teams contacting me later, so I can weigh it a little bit. There is no need to decide so quickly.

"Sorry, the team surrounding Yi..."

"If you are willing to sign, the monthly basic salary is 7,000 yuan, and the signing fee is half a year's salary.

The salary is written in the contract and will be paid at the beginning of each month. It will never be in arrears, otherwise we will pay you liquidated damages, and the bonus for winning the game will be calculated separately. "

"..."

The current time is now 2008, and there is no inflation yet.

Is he worthy of being the coal boss that everyone in the entertainment industry loves?

I originally wanted to yell at him that Go is an elegant sport.

But he gave too much...

Ps: Let me give you some popular science. How much does this Jaguar watch cost? When can I afford 1,500 full attendance per month?
