Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 13 Round Robin

"Look at you guys! What do you look like? It's 6:30 in the morning and you're still listless!"

"If you're not feeling refreshed, just go out and splash some cold water on your face. Why are you still playing chess if you're not sober?"

"How can you sleep at this age?"

"You guys are simply the worst class I've ever taught!"

"And what are those two people doing standing there at the door? Don't you want to come to our class? If you don't want to come, then don't be in the last place in Class C! Get them kicked out!

Either get out now, or get into the top two of this class in the next two months and then go back to Class C."

"What are you still looking at me for? Is there a chess record on my face? The matchup list is right on the wall! Didn't you even look at it when you came this morning? You just waste your time here all day!"

"Three minutes! Find your opponent and then go play chess! In five minutes, I want to see who still hasn't found an opponent. You can't play chess this morning!"

Looking at the teacher Bao Bu Tong who was spitting all over the podium, Mr. Ke followed Yi Zheng and kept shaking his head.

"You guys get scolded like this every day? I think we were treated the same way back then, we got spanked if we made a mistake."

"If you ask me, what kind of teacher is this person who beats and scolds students every day for not teaching them well?"

"If I can't teach my students well, doesn't that mean I'm incompetent?"

"No, why are you looking at me?"

Mr. Ke was giving a crazy and sharp review, and when he lowered his head, he found that Yi Zheng was looking at him with a strange expression on his face.

How to describe it?
Three parts indifference, three parts ridicule and four parts indifference.

Yi Zheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. You can't remember at all how you scolded me last night, right?

How can a teacher like you still have the nerve to criticize and scold students here?

"What are you looking at? I'm giving you one-on-one tutoring with a serious and responsible attitude. Every word I say will touch your heart and improve your chess skills!

It’s completely different from the nonsense and personal attacks he spews on stage!
If you continue like this, I won’t give you any chess guidance tonight.”

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Yi Zheng always felt that Mr. Ke’s actual age was still that of a child, so he could just coax him the same way he would a child.

After taking a look at the names on the match list, Yi Zheng took his name tag and found a chair to sit down.

The name of the person I am competing against today is something I have never seen before, which proves that he must have been demoted from another class, and that he must be one of the two new people who came this morning.

Sure enough, one of the two people who were standing at the door before finished looking at the match schedule by the wall, glanced at the name tag that Yi Zheng had placed on the table, and sat down opposite him.

Ke Lao Piao glanced at the other person's name and said, "Zhang Ning, what a good name for a supporting actor. Do you know him?"

Yi Zheng didn't say anything, but just shook his head slightly in response.

If I answer Mr. Ke, I will probably be regarded as a mental patient, mumbling something strange to myself.

"You've been repeating grades for seven or eight years now, and you haven't even met everyone yet? You won't be able to become a successful networker in the future."

Yi Zheng didn't say much. His daily life used to be repetitive.

Either he plays chess or goes back to the dormitory to write music. In his opinion, it is enough to have a good relationship with roommates in life. Why does he need to know so many people?

Listening to Mr. Ke's chattering beside him, Yi Zhengchun ignored it. Just like what he said, it seemed like he had been sleeping in a daze for seven or eight years, and if he didn't say a few more words, he would go crazy.

Of course, no matter how much Mr. Ke nags and talks a lot, he still knows to shut up and not disturb Yi Zheng when he is playing chess.

Glancing at Zhang Ning, who was sitting opposite him with a unhappy expression, Yi Zheng just nodded calmly.

"Guess first." "Yeah."

Both teams were not freshmen and they knew the rules well, so they just handled it themselves and started the group round-robin match.

Yi Zheng, playing with black, calmly chose a two-star opening, while the opponent chose a star with small eyes.

Then Yi Zheng made the fifth move without any hesitation.

As a young man trying to get a professional title, it is very common for everyone to finish the game within seconds. There are even cases where the opponent finishes the game before you have time to click the clock.

After all, some common openings are basic skills that everyone has memorized.

It is even possible that they can memorize it better than the world champions. At least they will not forget how to play the set pattern like some world champions in the finals of the world championships.

Unless there is a sudden change of tactics, it is not a problem to fill up half of the chessboard in two or three minutes using the standard moves.

But even if there are changes in tactics, it will take at least a dozen moves. Theoretically, as long as the chess pieces are not thrown around randomly on the board, there will be no unexpected results in the first five moves.

But Yi Zheng’s fifth move is just like that.

Point three three.

After seeing this move, Zhang Ning couldn't help but stretch his neck towards the chessboard. After looking left and right, he glanced at Yi Zheng who was sitting opposite him.

Then he looked at the chessboard again, as if what happened just now was an illusion. He even leaned forward, as if he wanted to see it more clearly.

But there are only five chess pieces on the board, and there is absolutely nothing to see.

Dot three three is dot three three.

"Are you still asleep? If you made a mistake, try again."

Zhang Ning felt the opponent was a bit baffling. Who would start a game with a three-three strategy? Did the opponent stay up all night and knock someone unconscious? Was he still sleepwalking?
Some beginners may feel good about the 33 point, since they can get a piece of territory right at the start.

But as long as you have learned a little bit and have a little bit of skill, you will know how bad this opening move can be.

Those who can enter Yunyi Chess Academy to study are all determined to become professionals. Even the lowest-level Class D is not a beginner class for so-called Go enthusiasts.

If you don’t even have this level of skill, you won’t even be able to enter the gate of Yunyi Chess Academy.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with his opponent, Zhang Ning decisively made him take back his move, otherwise what was the point of playing like that?

Are you kidding me?

"I made the right move. You can make your move."

Yi Zheng shook his head as he looked at his magnanimous opponent who made him regret his move. He really did not make a mistake, not to mention that even if he did, he could only make the move without regret.

"Isn't it right?"

Zhang Ning was also confused when he heard this, and even more confused when he saw the three dots on the chessboard.

Could it be that he's given up on himself after losing so many times? Then should he be a little gentler when he wins later?
It's impossible that he's deliberately insulting me, right? We don't even know each other, and it's not like he can only be disgusting if he wins. If he loses, then he's just an idiot. How can he win if he starts with three threes?

Who has nothing better to do than to be so disgusting and let others beat him up?
Zhang Ning placed the white piece while thinking.

Three out of four, block.

Yi Zheng did not hesitate at all. Not only was Mr. Ke willing to teach him everything he knew in this area, but this was also something he had been dreaming of for a long time.

Yourself.

That's right!
