In the backyard!
"Checkmate!" Xiao Fan gently placed down a black chess piece and calmly looked at Xiao Feng as he spoke.
Xiao Feng's forehead was covered in sweat as he scratched his ears and cheeks. He did not dare to place the white chess piece in his hand. Cheng Qingxue, on the other hand, mocked him without holding back: "Old man, don't you usually brag about how amazing your chess skills are? You're even the vice president of the Go Association? You've been bragging in front of me all day, why don't you continue bragging now? Why aren't you bragging anymore? "
Xiao Feng was speechless. He turned his head and glanced at Cheng Qingxue, the anger in his eyes surging!
"What? Do you still want to rebel? " Seeing Xiao Feng like this, Cheng Qingxue's almond-shaped eyes immediately widened, and her voice suddenly rose by an octave.
Xiao Feng's face immediately stiffened as he turned his head away in embarrassment.
Ling Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and snickered at the side!
"Forget it, I admit defeat!" Finally, Xiao Feng threw down the white chess piece in his hand in frustration and said angrily, "I'm not playing anymore. I've played more than ten games and I've been crushed every time. I can't play anymore!"
The corners of Xiao Fan's mouth raised, revealing a trace of a smile!
"You're good now, aren't you? Back then, I was the one who taught you how to play Go. Now that you're capable, why don't you let me win? "Xiao Feng glared at Xiao Fan.
"There is no such thing as father and son in chess, only victory and defeat!" Xiao Fan replied calmly. "Back then, you tortured me countless times, but you didn't say that you would let me win once? Moreover, I was overjoyed every time I won. It was even more glorified as increasing my ability to resist pressure! "
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was speechless, unable to say anything!
"Cut the crap, I'm the father and you're the son. If I say you let me win, then you have to let me win. Come, let's play another round, I don't believe it!" Xiao Feng immediately flew into a rage from embarrassment and shouted angrily.
But at this moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang!
"Go answer it!"
Xiao Feng said to Cheng Qingxue without turning his head as he began to put away all the white pieces on the chessboard and prepared to play another round with Xiao Fan.
Cheng Qingxue rolled her eyes at Xiao Feng. But she still went to the living room to answer the call!
On the other side, Xiao Fan and Xiao Feng had just placed a piece when Cheng Qingxue's voice came from the living room, "Old man, your phone call, it's Old Zhao!"
"Old Zhao?" Xiao Feng heard this. He immediately put down the chess piece in his hand and stood up with a puzzled look on his face. He walked to the living room and muttered, "Why did he call me?"
They came to the living room. Picking up the phone, Xiao Feng heard a sentence and said in astonishment, "What did you say? The finals were brought forward? This afternoon? Why? "
"Okay, I got it. I'll go now!" Xiao Feng listened for a few more sentences, nodded, and then put down the phone!
"Let's go, let's go. This afternoon, the final of the Philadelphia Go Competition will be held in the Longman Club in Philadelphia. Let's go there quickly. Any later and it will be too late! "Xiao Feng walked over and said anxiously to Xiao Fan's group of three.
"Hmm? Two days ago, didn't you say that the finals would be held on the 25th? It's only the 23rd today. Why is it brought forward? "Cheng Qingxue asked doubtfully.
"No, the date of the finals was originally set on the 25th. Although it usually doesn't change, there are occasional changes in a few years. This time, it was brought forward by two days and was finally set for this afternoon. If Old Zhao didn't inform me, I wouldn't know! "Xiao Feng said.
"Really, we haven't eaten lunch yet. How are we going? What did you do earlier? "Cheng Qingxue looked up at the clock on the wall and suddenly complained.
"Then what can I do? Old Zhao knows English. He can go online and read newspapers. He can receive information about the finals in time. I can't understand anything. I can only rely on Old Zhao and the others to inform me verbally. Sometimes it's normal for the time to be unlucky! "Xiao Feng said confidently. Then he said," Okay, let's go. We'll eat on the way! "
"No!" Cheng Qingxue stared and objected.
"Well, mom, let's buy something to eat on the way. It's rare for dad to have such a hobby. Let's go together!" Xiao Fan patted Cheng Qingxue's back and smiled.
"Okay!" When Xiao Fan opened his mouth, Cheng Qingxue immediately softened and nodded.
"Good son!" Xiao Feng patted Xiao Fan's shoulder and then quickly went upstairs to pack his things!
Not long after, the four of them finished packing and drove to Feicheng's Longman Guild Hall!
Soon, they arrived at their destination, Feicheng's Longman Guild Hall!
When they arrived at the guild hall, there were already many people at the entrance. They were all Go enthusiasts. They lined up at the entrance to buy tickets and eagerly waited to enter!
At the entrance, Xiao Fan briefly looked at the introduction of Feicheng's Go Competition!
Feicheng's Go Competition was first organized by some Hua Xia people. The content of the competition was very simple. A group of people sat together to play Go. It was lively and happy. Rather than a competition, it was better to say that it was a fellowship among the Hua Xia people who lived in Feicheng.
Later, a Hua Xia person became a senior official of Feicheng's government. Thanks to his strong recommendation and support, Feicheng's Go Competition became more and more formal and its influence grew. Many Americans in Feicheng and the surrounding cities knew about Go and many people fell in love with Go.
Especially in recent years, Feicheng's Go Competition had developed to its peak. Almost every year, famous Go masters from various countries were invited to show their Go skills in front of everyone, causing a huge sensation!
This year's Go Competition in Feicheng could be said to be the grandest in history. Many famous Go players were invited, including the famous Korean Go player Pak Chun Young, the famous Japanese Go player Takuto Ryu Jin, the famous French Go master Francisman, and so on. There was also the famous Hua Xia player, Master Nie Qing!
It could be said that the stars were shining and gathered in one place!
When Xiao Fan was young, he heard from his father, Xiao Feng, that his idol was Master Nie Qing. Now that he could finally see Master Nie Qing in person, it was no wonder that his father, Xiao Feng, was so anxious that he didn't even want to eat and wanted to come.
The tickets were not expensive, only ten dollars per person. After buying the tickets, Xiao Fan and the other three quickly entered the hall!
At this time, the competition had not officially started yet. Everyone found their seats and sat on the stands next to them, waiting quietly.
Xiao Fan's group of four sat down as well, and as soon as they sat down, a wave of discussion suddenly entered Xiao Fan's ears!
"Hey, did you know? After today's finals, there will be a highlight in the evening. Hua Xia, Korea, Japan, France. The six national masters of the six countries of America and India will have a battle of the century! "
"Are you serious? Every year, the national masters who are invited are only judges, right? Why are they competing directly this year? "
"I don't know the specific reasons, but it seems that the Korean national master, Master Park Zhenying, and Hua Xia's national master, Master Nie Qing, have a conflict. The Japanese national master, Master Taketo Ryu Jin, and the French national master, Francisman, don't see eye to eye. In short, the reasons are very complicated. Finally, after negotiation, the six national masters agreed to have a final battle of the pinnacle! "
"Then the organizers must have planned it in advance. The purpose is to attract attention and media attention!"
"I think it's quite good. I can watch a visual feast again. I really don't know which country's master will be able to defeat all the heroes and win in the end?"
"I don't know. It's hard to say because they are not weak!"
Behind him, two people from two unknown countries were talking in a language that others couldn't understand.
Xiao Fan listened briefly and withdrew his divine sense. He chatted and laughed with his mother, Cheng Qingxue, waiting for the game to start.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Philadelphia Go Competition, here!" Below, an old man in a suit and leather shoes said with a smile and a microphone.
Hearing this voice, the entire venue immediately quieted down. There was no longer any noise. Everyone's spirits were lifted as they stretched their heads to look down!
The game was about to start!
"Before the final, we have a small game!" The old man in the suit laughed. "First, I wonder if you have heard of the Exquisite Go game?"
"Exquisite Go game? What's that? "
"I've never heard of it!"
"I've heard of it. It's an ancient game in Hua Xia. It's known as one of the seven impossible games in the history of Go. It's a very difficult game! "
"Tsk, I've only heard of the six impossible games in the history of Go. Where did this Exquisite Go game come from? How dare it be called the seventh game with the other six games? "
"This game has only been out for a few years. At present, it's only circulated in Hua Xia and some parts of Japan and Korea. So not many people know about it! "
"Oh, I see!"
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion below!
"This is the Exquisite Go game. Everyone can take a look first!" The old man in the suit raised his hand and someone next to him turned on the screen. A game suddenly appeared on the screen.
Everyone looked at the big screen and began to think about the game in their hearts.
The whole venue suddenly fell silent!
After about five to six minutes, the old man in the suit smiled again and said, "I'm sure everyone has seen the chess game. I'm sure everyone knows how difficult it is. The little game I'm talking about is related to this exquisite chess game!"
"The game is very simple. This is another game derived from the Exquisite Go game!" The old man in the suit raised his hand and a game similar to the Exquisite Go game appeared on the screen. Then, he said, "The difficulty of this derived game is not high. Everyone here can participate. No matter who it is, as long as they can solve it in ten minutes, they will receive a reward of 100,000 USD!"
"If no one can solve it in ten minutes, then I'm sorry. We will take back the 100,000 USD reward. This game will be canceled and the competition will officially begin!"
"100,000 USD?"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited.
This reward was definitely not low. Even after deducting taxes, it was still quite a lot. Most of the people present could only be considered to be in the ordinary class. 100,000 USD was a huge windfall.
Everyone was tempted!
"In addition, let me remind you that this chess game is derived from the Exquisite Chess Game, so its solution also follows the logic of the Exquisite Chess Game. Everyone can search for the Exquisite Chess Game and its solution on the Internet, and then think about the solution of this chess game!"
"I'll give everyone two minutes to search online. After two minutes, the timer will officially start. Time is limited, so please hurry up!"
The old man in the suit chuckled.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone hurriedly took out their phones or tablets and began to search for the Exquisite Go game on the Internet. Some people were extremely excited. Obviously, they had seen the Exquisite Go game and knew how to solve it. Therefore, they began to look at the game and quickly pondered in their hearts.
"Exquisite Go game, exquisite Go game, found it!"
"I found it too!"
Soon, many people in the crowd shouted.
"Damn, this solution is amazing!"
"It's not just amazing, it's simply unparalleled! Wonderful, wonderful, it's simply wonderful, wonderful! "
"Every step contains profound meaning. The fourth step, the sixth step, the seventh step, and the twelfth step can be said to be the finishing touch, the hand of god. Amazing, really amazing!"
"Who is the person who solved this game? Devil Overlord Xiao Fan? Hmm? Who is this person? Why haven't I heard of him? "
"I don't know. Is there such a person in the world of Go?"
"This should be an online name, right? I just don't know his real name. "
