Rebirth of the Great Power

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was still gray, and the expressway leading to the Capital Airport was surrounded by thick fog, making it difficult to discern anything ten miles away. Net, escape from a small piece of world.

The weather was cold, and the exhaled breath turned into white mist. In addition, it was early morning, and there were few travelers in front of the airport gate, and there was no sound.Until a silver Land Rover broke through the thick fog and stopped in front of the airport with a "squeak".

As soon as the car stopped, the driver's door was opened from the inside, and a young man in a red down jacket came out.As soon as the young man leaned out, he shivered from the cold, shrank his head inward, rubbed his hands together, took a breath around his mouth, then got out of the car and closed the door and walked quickly to the trunk.

Just as the young man took out a suitcase from the trunk, the door of the passenger seat just opened, and a man in a black coat stepped out.The man looked to be in his early thirties. He was wearing a neat suit under his coat. He was meticulous. He was carrying a small suitcase in his hand. His face was calm, as if he was not affected by the extremely low temperature outside the car.

Seeing the man got out of the car, the young man quickly walked over with the suitcase, wanting to take the suitcase from the man's hand, but the man gave way slightly, and said calmly, "I'll take care of that."

The young man didn't insist, he pressed the car key in his hand, locked the car door with two beeps, then pulled the suitcase and walked forward first, followed by the man.

Walking to the door, the glass sensor door opened automatically, and the two of them entered the airport lobby, and the heating rushed in, instantly dispelling the cold air brought by the outside.The young man let out a long breath, and his whole body stretched out.

The young man turned his head and smiled at the man: "Teacher, let's change the boarding pass and check in the luggage first."

The man nodded, seeing the young man in a hurry, smiled slightly and said: "Don't be so anxious, there is still time."

"Hey." The young man responded, and pulled down the zipper of the down jacket with one hand, and his steps slowed down a bit.

After checking in the luggage and changing the boarding pass, the young man sent the man to the security checkpoint.

The man stopped in his tracks, turned around and said, "Bocheng, you should go back first."

The young man nodded and said, "Okay. Then teacher, you have a safe journey. We are waiting for news of your victory."

The man smiled faintly: "Well. You have to work hard for the challenge that starts the day after tomorrow, so don't get picked in the first round."

The young man grinned heartily: "How can it be? Teacher, I will definitely not embarrass you."

The man patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go back, drive carefully on the road, don't drive so fast."

"Hey." The young man waved his hand vigorously, turned around and walked out.

The man quietly watched the young man take a few steps before turning back to the security checkpoint.

No one expected that this farewell would become a forever farewell!

Just after passing the security check and walking into the departure hall, I heard the sound of the radio.

"Passengers going to Seoul, please note that your flight CZ3170 is now boarding. Please take your belongings, show your boarding pass, and board the plane at gate a05. Thank you and wish you a pleasant journey."

The broadcast was broadcast several times in a row, but the man did not stop, and followed other passengers on the airport minibus, and arrived at the gate to prepare for boarding.

The man's name is Wang Zheng. He is an active professional Go player in China, and he is also the world's most valuable professional Go player.

Wang Zheng has long lost count, and this is the first time he has boarded a plane to South Korea.Since he participated in the Yingshi Cup World Professional Go Championship for the first time at the age of 16 and won his first world championship, he has traveled to China, Japan and South Korea to participate in various domestic and international competitions every year.

This time, he went to Seoul to participate in tomorrow's LG Cup World Go Championship Sanbanqi final match. His opponent is the No.1 Lee Sung-ho in the current Korean chess world.

Li Chenghao is 21 years old this year. After defeating several super-class players in Korea and even the former No.1 Lee Min-cheol the year before last, he finally established his No.1 status in the Korean chess world. He is also the most dazzling new star in the Korean chess world. He won the championship in many world competitions and won honors for the Korean chess world.

The 31-year-old Wang Zheng is in the peak period of professional chess players. His state and physical strength are maintained very well. In the first Chunlan Cup Juban chess final last year, he defeated Lee Min-cheol of South Korea with a beautiful score of [-]-[-]. This is the third time he has defeated Li Minzhe to win the championship in a world-class competition.

The LG Cup Sanfanqi final is the first public confrontation between Li Chenghao and Wang Zheng since he became famous.

For the Korean people, they eagerly hope that Li Chenghao, who is in full swing, can perform at a super level, defeat Wang Zheng, who is known as "No. The dominant position in the chess world.

For Chinese chess fans, of course, they hope that Wang Zheng can maintain his undefeated record of participating in world competitions for more than ten years, and once again plant the banner of victory on the country that is easy to win.

For the world chess world, this is also a peak match worth looking forward to.Is it the veteran "No.1" who continues to lead the world chess world, telling people with facts that his era is not over; or is the new generation of "No.1" defeating the predecessors and leading the trend of the new era?The suspense is about to be revealed!

Wang Zheng himself was very calm.

No matter what expectations the outside world has for him, what kind of comments there are, for him, the chess game he will play tomorrow is no different from the thousands of chess games he has played before. Just be stronger.

Over the years, he has never lacked experience in confronting masters.Not only will it not make him nervous, but it will make him feel excited.A duel with a master means that it is possible to create another classic match.

Go has always been played by two people.

After the plane took off, it soon entered a stable flight time, and the silence in the cabin was broken, and there were some whispers and whispered voices from passengers.Wang Zheng also unfastened his seat belt and stood up, took out a copy of "Jian Shan Tang Yi Pu" from the suitcase in the luggage compartment, and read it quietly.

After a while, a flight attendant came over with a beverage cart and asked politely in a low voice, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Hearing the sound, Wang Zheng looked up at the drink cart, and said casually, "Water is fine, thank you."

"Okay." The stewardess responded, and quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Wang Zheng.

After Wang Zheng drank the water, he handed the water glass back to the stewardess who pushed the cart again, and prepared to continue reading.

This time the stewardess did not walk away immediately, but bent slightly and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Wang Zheng?"

Wang Zheng looked up at the stewardess who was talking, and there was some nervousness and excitement on the beautiful face of the other party. He nodded and said, "I am."

After getting an affirmative response, the stewardess blushed with excitement and raised her voice slightly: "It's really you! I'm your chess fan, so glad to meet you in person?"

Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Thank you.

This little episode passed quickly.

This is not the first time something like this has happened.Wang Zheng can be considered a celebrity, even though he is not as famous and influential as a film and television star, but as long as he pays a little attention to Go, there are not many people who don't recognize Wang Zheng.Occasionally, when traveling, it is not uncommon for a few chess fans to be watched and asked to sign. Wang Zheng has long been used to it.

More than an hour after the plane took off, Wang Zheng rubbed the chess record and saw some tired eyes. He was about to put down his book and take a rest when the fuselage suddenly shook.

Wang Zheng wasn't very panicked. He traveled by plane all the year round, and it's normal for the plane to shake a few times when it encounters turbulence.It's just that this time it was destined to be different, the fuselage did not stabilize quickly, but the shaking became more and more severe, and the passengers who didn't take it seriously at first began to get nervous.

There was another violent shaking, and finally someone couldn't help but started screaming.Fear is the most easily affected emotion. After the first scream, more screams sounded one after another.At this time, the broadcast also began to repeatedly broadcast that the plane encountered strong air currents, please do not panic, fasten your seat belts, and keep quiet.The crew walked up and down reminding passengers to fasten their seat belts and take precautions, while comforting a few women and children who started whimpering out of fear.

Some irritable passengers have started to curse, and some people have started to ask questions. The flight attendants have been patiently reassuring the passengers, telling everyone that turbulence is a common occurrence on the plane, and the captain will take care of it. Please rest assured.

After a while, the fuselage gradually stabilized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.I don't know who started to applaud and praise the captain loudly.Soon, there was applause and laughter in the cabin.

However, Wang Zheng's heart did not relax, he always had a feeling of trepidation, and an ominous premonition that always firmly grasped him.

Sure enough, the good times didn't last long. Less than 10 minutes later, the fuselage shook violently again. This time it was stronger than the last time. Several luggage compartments that had not been closed opened under the vibration, and the luggage in the compartments fell down. , hitting the faces of the passengers.

Cursing and crying sounded again, and everyone had long forgotten how to praise the captain just now, and it all turned into reprimands and complaints.And this time, no crew member came out to appease the passengers, and the siren sounded for a long time, accompanied by various noises in the cabin, which gave people a thrilling feeling.

The shaking of the fuselage became more and more violent, and it had already begun to shake from side to side.Some passengers uncontrollably unbuckled their seat belts and ran out of their seats to slap the closed cabin door, yelling and cursing.

More and more luggage compartments were opened in the shaking, the luggage fell to the ground, and various survival tools fell spontaneously, but no one had the heart to think about how to use them.

Amid the louder and louder crying and cursing, the plane suddenly began to descend rapidly, and all the sounds turned into screams. The feeling of weightlessness was like a hand choking the throat, making it difficult to breathe.

Wang Zheng grasped the handrails on both sides tightly with both hands. This feeling of despair also infected him, and he didn't know if he screamed like everyone else.The terrible survival rate of the plane crash made it impossible for him to take any chances.

At such a moment, his heart unexpectedly calmed down, and he began to recall his short but wonderful, ordinary but extraordinary life.

Wang Zheng was born in a family of Go, his parents are both professional Go players.His father, Wang Yupeng, is a professional nine-dan. Although he has never won a world championship, he has won several firsts in domestic competitions.Her mother, Sun Yuzhu, is an eighth-dan women's professional and has a good record in women's Go competitions.

Wang Zheng has had an indissoluble bond with Go since he was born. When he was two years old and was still a little stumbling when he was walking, he had already followed his father on the chessboard and groped for black and white.

Wang Zheng's love for Go seems to be innate, just like his talent in Go.His 31 years of life are closely related to Go, and he has not had time to marry a wife and have children, and he has not even talked about a relationship.Since his parents passed away three years ago, he has been alone in this world except Go.However, he has never felt lonely or alone, because his spiritual world is full and complete with Go.

In Wang Zheng's short life, his achievements in Go are also unparalleled.

When Wang Zheng was ten years old, he was admitted to the first stage of professional chess, and he was the youngest one to become a professional chess player so far. At the age of 12, it was the starting point for Wang Zheng to go to the peak of the Go world. He won the championship in one fell swoop in the rookie king game that year, becoming the first championship title in his career. At the age of 16 and two months, he won the Yingshi Cup World Professional Go Championship. So far, he is still the youngest record holder to win the world championship.

Wang Zheng Jiuduan is a rare genius in the history of Go in the world, and has created many historical records of Go.

Since winning his first world championship at the age of 16, he has won a total of 24 individual championships and 15 team championships, including 10 as the main player.Wang Zheng has already achieved the "Grand Slam" of the World Go Tournament, and even set an unprecedented record of undefeated in world-class competitions.

In domestic competitions, his record is also good. He has held the title of Celebrity Championship for 15 consecutive years and the title of Tianyuan Championship for seven consecutive years.The highest winning streak he has so far is 49 consecutive victories. At the age of 27, it was the peak of his career. In all 95 games he participated in that year, he won 85 games, with a winning rate of 89%.So far no one can.

Wang Zheng is not only talented in playing Go, but also talented in being a teacher.After becoming famous, he took in a total of two disciples, and now they are already shining new stars in the world chess world.

At this moment, these pasts flashed one by one in Wang Zheng's mind, who was in a desperate situation, like a replayed movie. The 31-year-old Wang Zheng is at the peak of both life and Go. It is certain that if there is no such accident, his Go journey can go further and his achievements will be even more brilliant.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Wang Zheng is alone and has nothing to worry about. His only regret is Go.

In the final consciousness, what flashed through Wang Zheng's mind was still the eternal black and white pieces and wonderful chess games one after another.

It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that I can no longer create by my own hands.

If possible, I really want, I really want to, I really want to touch the cold chess piece again!

The next day's headlines were all about the crash.And many websites and newspapers use words such as "the whole country mourns, the chess master Wang Zheng died in the China Southern Airlines crash", "a star falls, and the chess king Wang Zheng's short but brilliant life!", "The loss of the Chinese chess world. , The loss of the world chess world!" Such a title expresses his attitude.

Chess fans across the country were so shocked by this accident that they were speechless, and the Chinese Chess Academy was also in a gloomy state. The two disciples of Wang Zheng fell to the ground crying when they heard the news.

As for the dispute between the old and the new "No.1", it will also become an eternal mystery, and there will never be an answer.

The official website of the Chinese Chess Academy quickly issued an obituary and opened a special topic for chess fans and netizens to express their condolences.

Wang Zheng's influence on the world chess world continued after his death. For a long time, when chess fans were arguing about who is the No. Otherwise, with his state at the time, it would not be impossible to win several or even dozens of world championships.

However, history will always move forward, and there are talents from generation to generation.There are more and more new players emerging in today's chess world, and a new generation of "No.1" was born soon.And Wang Zheng has become a monument in the history of Go, waiting for later generations to catch up and surpass.

On the other side, in a strange dynasty and unknown history, the young Mu Yuan finally began to wake up slowly after being in a coma for three days.

The author has something to say: When I was in college, after watching the anime "Soul of Chess", I fell in love with Go, one of the four arts of a gentleman. At that time, I went to public classes for a few days, but unfortunately I couldn't learn it. It was difficult to get started, and I changed my mind later, so I quickly gave up.However, his love for Go has always been retained. Although he has no perseverance, he has a heart of admiration.A month ago, I watched a series of movies of "The Great National Player", which rekindled my desire to write a Go essay.It may be very difficult to play Go well in this life, but writing an article about Go should still be competent.

This kind of thought was out of control, so I suspended some plans for the post-apocalyptic essay to prepare this essay.

So far, I still don't know much about Go, but Go has always been easy to learn but difficult to master. It is difficult to become a master, but it is not so difficult to get started.Therefore, in the process of this article, a large number of materials will be referred to.Here is a partial list of books.The referenced literary works include: Dianjiabuyu's Go essays by the landlord, there are many books, and I will not report the names in detail.The reference chess records include: "Jianshantang Yipu", "Wangyou Qingyue Collection", "Four Sons Pu", "Shou Sanzi Pu", "Chinese Weiqi History".The video materials for reference include: Wang Yuan's eighth-dan Go introduction is quick and easy to master, and Chen Zude's nine-dan ancient Go detailed explanation.In addition, there are some information found on blogs and post bars on the web, so I won’t list them one by one.If there is reference to specific chess games and explanations during the writing process, it will be explained separately.

Although it seems that I have carefully referred to a lot of materials, I have no foundation after all, so I may still inevitably take the meaning out of context when I write it, and I don’t know what it means.Mistakes and omissions are inevitable, please bear with me; anyone who points out any mistakes or omissions would be very grateful.Those who know Go and are interested are also welcome to come to the group or private Q to discuss.I sincerely advise.

Then, I want to explain that although there are so many reference materials listed, it seems very professional, but in the final analysis, this is just a Danmei article in the skin of Go. Go is just the background, so I’m afraid if you want to watch exciting Go competition Don’t be disappointed, don’t worry too much if you don’t want to read this aspect, I guarantee that I won’t think that I will pile up Go terminology, I just hope that when the specific part of Go is written, the insider will not want to laugh when they see it, and the layman will feel foolish when they see it .

It’s been two full months, and finally I, Hu Hansan, have come back. During this time, I’ve read a lot of Go materials, whether it’s videos, biographies or others, and I’ve learned a lot. Personally, I am very satisfied with this modification. I think it is much clearer than before, so more parts will be modified a lot before. I hope everyone will like it more.
