It was at this time that the R country suddenly announced something, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.
Well, that's right, after a period of time of preparation, the R-National Chess Academy's newly issued regulations were announced to take effect immediately, and the three major titles of Honinbo, celebrity and chess saint on Chinese chess player Fu Yu were immediately taken back!
The National Chess Academy chose to issue this notice at this time, and I have to say...
This is quite disgusting.
At the same time, Taya celebrities, Shigeo Morishita, Ryo Taya, Mitsuki Kamito and other R-country chess masters and new generations of chess players all spoke on domestic social platforms, believing that the actions of the chess academy are extremely wrong, and are extremely incompatible with emotions, etiquette, and reason!
The R National Chess Academy chose to ignore their clear opposition and protests, but the Internet in R National is moving forward, and most chess fans praised the chess Academy's move, but a few enlightened chess fans expressed their attitude towards this, believing that this is quite shameful and incompetent.
This small number of chess fans have made a sarcastic sarcasm on the Internet—
A post titled "We can't beat you, but kick you out... If you don't fight with you, I won't lose!] appeared on the forum of Go.com that night. It caused widespread heated discussions as soon as it was published. Countless chess fans and netizens came to sign in and check in and express their opinions!
Some people are sober and angry, some people pretend to be confused and can fool them. Some people who don’t know whether they are immature or have their brains in the water have attacked these more open-minded netizens online and called them ideological traitors...
More than these two camps, the fans of R-National Chess fans may be full and have nothing to do. Tens of thousands of people posted various opinions and various wars online, causing a lot of controversy online, and even attracted the attention and reports of offline paper media.
In mid-July, the Samsung Insurance Cup World Go Open, organized by H National Chess Academy and Samsung Group, kicked off.
The Samsung Cup was originally called the "Samsung Fire Cup"; because Japanese-style Chinese characters are not easy to understand sponsors, it was officially renamed "Samsung Insurance Cup" last year.
Unlike Fu Yu's previous life, in 2007, the Samsung Cup in this world changed the double-loss elimination system that has been used for ten years, including the top 32, top 16, top 8, and semi-finals, all of which were changed to single-loss elimination system.
In other words, it may be the butterfly effect caused by the new Go trend brought by Fu Yu—
In the past two years, as the overall quality of professional chess players in the world chess world has suddenly increased, and there are more and more various domestic and international competitions in China, H, R and R countries, and the competition time of various events has been severely compressed.
Just like the Samsung Cup, one of the top international events, the schedule has also changed a lot, and the schedule will be reduced from the four-month schedule of this competition from September to December each year to within 10 days.
This year's Samsung Cup will take only 8 days to finish the schedule from the opening of this competition to the final three games.
The Samsung Cup World Go Open in this world was reorganized several years earlier, which can be regarded as the butterfly effect brought about by Fu Yu's rebirth and gradual rise.
As one of the world's top international events, the prize money for the Samsung Cup is also very generous, with a total prize of up to 1 billion won, which is nearly 900,000 yuan in rice dollars, and it is also more than 4 million yuan in Chinese RMB!
Among them, half of the prize pool will be taken away!
Even the runner-up can get one-tenth of the bonus!
No wonder professional chess players from all over the world are fiercely competing. Looking at other top events in the world, the Yingshi Cup held by Taiwan Province in China can beat it.
Last year, there were also the Samsung Cup champions from the previous year, all of which were Gao Yongxia, the ninth dan of the H country.
It is precisely because of this event that the H National Chess Academy was very prestigious during that period, especially two years ago, when Gao Yongxia, who won the world championship for the first time, had already had at least the top-notch strength, but he did not participate in the domestic promotion competition and did not participate in the promotion competition, so the ranking would naturally not be able to be promoted.
So, this kid kept slapping around in the face with the name of the third stage of his career, making many seniors in the chess world lose face...
Damn, in large-scale events, everyone is a professional ninth dan, but after one professional third dan, he was slapped in his right face and left face. At that time, domestic chess fans mocked him...
Later, there was no other way. The H National Chess Academy quickly introduced a new policy of upgrading, and the kid was quickly promoted to the seventh tier of career. Last year, after winning the Samsung Cup again, he jumped into the nineth tier of career!
Speaking of the Samsung Cup, there is another senior from H Country, who has to mention it, that is the stone Buddha Li Changhao.
Although he has no peak record in the world chess world, he still has the highest record on the field in the Samsung Cup and has no one to surpass it.
Even Gu Li, who was at its peak a few years ago, only won the championship of the Samsung Cup.
In mid-July, the Samsung Cup China Qualifiers began. The Samsung Cup Open is not only for professional chess players, but also for amateur chess players!
In other words, some graduating young men who have no fixed ranks and have amateur ranks can also sign up for the qualifiers.
That is to say, some strict restrictions on the gyms, and some young people who have long had professional standards cannot participate, otherwise they will definitely flock to them!
These teenagers naturally don’t know that this is the elders protecting them. With their current character, they may get up after winning a few games, and if they lose, they may be in a slump...
There are very few true geniuses. Most children are actually relatively mediocre. They can only polish their mind and chess skills through training day after day and year after year, and become professional chess masters before they can officially participate in such international competitions.
For older amateur chess players, there is nothing to worry about even if they sign up.
Similarly, it doesn’t matter to Li Yundou, who is in Qianlong Go Dojo.
With his current level of strength, he has surpassed his professional Go level more than a little bit, and the so-called mentality problem cannot bother him. After all, he has been practicing in Buddhism for more than ten years and has achieved great meditation skills.
In terms of time, he had just signed up for the National Go Preliminary Competition held in early August, but the free time in the middle was enough for him to participate in the Samsung Cup.
This time, the World Go Open is divided into two stages: the qualifiers and this game.
13 seed chess players entered this competition directly: 4 in the last four; 4 in South Korea; 2 in Japan; 2 in China; 1 recommended by the organizer.
Chess players from all countries freely sign up for the qualifying competition, and 19 chess players (15 in the ordinary group, 2 in the women's group, and 2 in the middle-aged group) were selected to enter this competition.
Chapter completed!
