章節 68: Chapter 68: For the Championship
"Young Master Lee."
Kang Taehyun also saw Lee Minho, Yoon Jungsu and Jung Jinso also squeezed out from the crowd.
Lee Minho walked up to them and said.
"Let's go out first, there are too many people here."
At this time, many people have already finished the chess game, and groups of contestants stepped out of the elevator.
The then four walked to the parking lot.
"Young Master Lee, where is your car parked?"
Yoon Jungsu took out the car keys and asked Lee Minho.
"It's right here."
Lee Minho pointed to the e-bike in the opposite driveway diagonally.
"E-bike?"
Yoon Jungsu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Young Master Lee, you really know how to joke."
"I'm not joking."
Lee Minho took out the key, pressed it to unlock, and the e-bike making the car rang.
Kang Taehyun also took out the key, pressed the e-bike car making the car rang next door to Lee Minho.
He then said to Yoon Jungsu and Jung Jinso with a smile.
"I have it too."
"Did you drive the e-bike car here this morning?"
Jung Jinso looked at the two in disbelief.
These rich second generations, whenever they drive, they go out using luxury car.
Like this kind of e-bike car, they usually don't even look at it.
"What's wrong with driving an e-bike? It's much faster than a regular car. Plus, it's a great weapon. Even my goddess has enjoyed riding it with me."
Kang Taehyun said proudly.
Jung Jinso scratched the back of his head and answered.
"But e-bike cars can't carry extra people, right? Didn't you get arrested last time?"
"Uh.." Kang Taehyun didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Let's take your car. When we come back, we'll drive the e-bike car back."
Lee Minho suggested.
"Don't bother, my car can put down your battery car." Yoon Jungsu said.
Yoon Jungsu drove an off-road vehicle today. The trunk is so big that it is more than enough to fit two e-bike cars at the back.
Lee Minho then got into Yoon Jungsu's car while Kang Taehyun into Jung Jinso's car.
The four of them headed towards a high-end western restaurant nearby.
It happened to be lunch time at this time, and the restaurant was quite crowded.
Fortunately, Yoon Jungsu already made a reservation yesterday. A high-end restaurant like this usually needs to be reserved in advance.
After ordering the dishes, Kang Taehyun asked Lee Minho.
"Young Master Lee, you are too good. I saw the message you sent me. The game you played only took half an hour."
Lee Minho nodded and said.
"Well, my opponent is an old man who is not very strong in chess."
Compared to ordinary people, that old man may be quite powerful.
But for Lee Minho, the grandpa's chess skills are still a bit far behind Fang Wen's.
Therefore, Lee Minho wins easily.
"A grandpa?"
Kang Taehyun smiled and said.
"Jungsu's opponent is also a grandpa, but that grandpa's chess skills are not weak he almost won against Jungsu."
Yoon Jungsu shrugged
"Yeah, I was shocked at the time. I didn't expect that the old man is so strong."
"Haha, speaking of it, I'm lucky. My opponent is a high school student with mediocre skills."
Jung Jinso said happily.
"Then you've been here for so long."
Kang Taehyun said contemptuously. But Jung Jinso made a reason.
"Im waiting for Jungsu, I'm on the same field as him. Why, Taehyun, did you lose?"
Kang Taehyun then speak in a loud voice.
"My opponent is a middle-aged aunt, her skills are not very good, and her every move took too long. If there is no time limit, I am afraid that I'll be there forever."
"This time the game takes one hour per person. It is less than the regular game time. Your lucky if you meet some with mediocre skills."
Yoon Jungsu was also fortunate that although the old man he met was strong, his chess strength was still a bit weaker than him.
"Isn't it? During the competition, I was afraid that the time would not be enough, and I would be fnished if I overtimed."
Kang Taehyun said looking depressed.
"This is only the first round, and you're sighing. What about the rest of the Chess Cup Competition? There are still 11 rounds."
Lee Minho looked at the three of them, as if they had no confidence in them at all.
According to their current state, within a few rounds, they might be eliminated in the next round.
"It doesn't matter, in fact, I'm here to join the fun. It's up to Young Master to play chess."
Kang Taehyun said with a smile.
Hearing that, Lee Minho gave Kang Taehyun a helpless look. This guy really flatters him all the time, and Lee Minho has already seen that Kang Taehyun is still trying to please him!
Yoon Jungsu also nodded, agreeing with Kang Taehyun's words.
"Young Master Lee, we are all self-aware, and participating in the competition is actually just for fun."
Although Yoon Jungsu also likes to play chess, he is still very self-aware of his own strength.
"Of the 200,000 people who participated in the qualifiers, only 60 or so people can actually enter the official competition."
"Even if they enter the real competition, the opponents are all those professional chess players. How can we be those professional chess players pponent?"
Jung Jinso is very optimistic, so it doesn't matter whether he wins or not, the important thing is to participate.
"I heard that there are grandmaster professional chess players participating in this competition. I think this champion is destined to be those grandmasters."
Kang Taehyun wondered.
"If it's for me, this competition should not allow professional chess players to join. For people like us, it is impossible for an amateur chess player to win against those players."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Lee Minho picked it up and said meaningfully.
"I believe I can win the championship."
The three of them were taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
"Hey, Young Master Lee, you have ambition! It turns out that you are aiming for the championship."
Lee Minho said with a smile.
"If you participate in this kind of competition not aiming for the championship, then it will be so boring."
The championship reward can be 50 million dollars. Not only that there's also reward from the system for completing the task for winning the championship.
Lee Minho's true goal was these things. This is a win-win task, no matter what, Lee Minho is determined to win the championship.
"Okay, then I wish luck, Young Master Lee, for the championship."
Yoon Jungsu raised his wine glass.
"Yes, let's first wish Young Master Lee for the
championship in advance, cheers."
"Cheers!"
Kang Taehyun and Jung Jinso also picked up the wine glasses at the same time.
In fact, the three of them only thought that Lee Minho was a joking, and they didn't really take it seriously.
Although they knew that Lee Minho was very strong in chess and can beat professional chess players.
But that was only the beginning stage of the career. In this Chess Cup there are nine professional players participating.
There is a distarnce between heaven and earth between the amateurs and to the grandmasters.
Lee Minho is an amateur chess player officially, it is difficult as heaven to snatch the championship from those professional grandmaster chess players.
Unless a miracle happens.
Playing chess is not just about practicing hard, it also requires talent and deep understanding.
Lee Minho knew they didn't believe it, but he didn't explain.
Sometimes, actions speak louder than words.
Lee Minho was eating here, but he didn't know that there was someone over there in the sports building, who was anxious looking for him everywhere.
Jiang Ruozhi is the president of the Kyoto Chess Association.
Although Jiang Ruozhi is the president of the Kyoto Chess Association, his professional rank is not very high, he's only at a National Master Level.
However, his younger brother, Jiang Ruoxing, is one of the top players in the chess world of Colorado.
Jiang Ruoxing who is 42 years old this year, has one-third of his hair gray.
But his mental outlook is very good, and his figure is not as fat as ordinary middle-aged men.
On the contrary, because of regular exercise, the body is kept in the best condition.
But Jiang Ruoxing, the younger brother, doesn't have as many gray hairs as Jiang Ruozhi.
Jiang Ruozhi's figure was already fat, with an old face of a middle-aged man.
"Look at you, as the president of the Kyoto Chess Association, you don't care about today's Chess Cup budget."
"Go to someone to ask for a chess game. If you let them know, what will they think of you?"
Jiang Ruoxing can't see his eldest brother very often.
When he was a professional chess player before, the chess skills were not very good.
Later, when he became the president of the Kyoto Chess Association, he was even more lazy.
"Brother, don't worry, everything about the Chess Cup qualifiers has been properly arranged. There is absolutely no problem."
"Besides, I'm not asking for a chess game, I just want to play a game with him. Unexpectedly, he gave me a test question. I have to solve this chess game before I can play against him."
He then added on.
"I will study the chess game I've been working on it for several days, but I still don't have a clue. That's why I invited you here. Besides I can't see very often."
Jiang Ruozhi is also a chess fanatic, but unfortunately, his talent in chess is not as good as Jiang Ruoxing's.
From the time he set his upper rank to his retirement, he stayed at the National Master Level and did not make any progress.
Fortunately, the president of the Kyoto Chess Association did not require a rank, otherwise, with his rank, he really couldn't afford it.
Although he has not participated in any competitions, his mind has always been on chess.
No, knowing that Jiang Ruoxing had just returned from participating in a competition abroad, Jiang Ruozhi couldn't wait and invited him to the sports building.
The office of the Chess Association is on the second floor of the Sports Building.
However, the second floor of the sports building was temporarily used for the game competition, so the office of the office was temporarily moved to a small warehouse on the first floor.
After Jiang Ruozhi went to pick up Jiang Ruoxing, he had already arranged people, set up the chess game, and waited for Jiang Ruoxing to arrive.
When they arrived at the sports building, it was less than half an hour before the end of the game.
Several members of the association went out to pick them up after hearing their reasoning.
"Is the chess game set?" Jiang Ruozhi asked a member of the staff beside him.
"President, don't worry, everything has been arranged, and according to your instructions, it is placed at the small warehouse, and it will
definitely not hinder the passage of the contestants."
"That's good. The monitoring there is also being stepped up. After all, there may be no way to return to the original place in the past two months. It will be more convenient to install a monitoring at the door."
"Yes, I have already arranged for someone to come over to install the surveillance in the afterrnoon."
Jiang Ruozhi nodded. After all, the hall on the first floor was crowded with people.
In the past ten days, many people have come to compete. The door of their temporary office happened to be a blind spot for monitoring.
If something happened, there was no know, and that's why they installed surveillance there.
"Okay, let's wait until you are free to arrange your work. Go and see the chess game you mentioned first. I'm going to Shanghai in the afternoon, and I don't have time to spend time with you."
Jiang Ruoxing is going to Shanghai tomorrow to deal with some things, so time is tight.
If Jiang Ruozhi hadn't personally picked him up at the airport, he probably wouldn't have come.
"President Jiang, this way please."
The member of the Kyoto Chess Association who had been talking to Jiang Ruozhi just now led the way.
Soon, they brought the two of them to the door of their temporary office.
They saw a chess board full of black and white chess pieces on the edge of a white wall in front of the office door.
Jiang Ruozhi immediately pulled Jiang Ruoxing forward, glanced at the chess board, and said to Jiang Ruoxing.
"Brother, this is the chess game I told you about."
Jiang Ruoxing stepped forward to look at the set up chessboard.
The more he look at it, the more dignified his face becomes, and the more he look at it, the more frightened he become.
Because there were too many traps in this chess game, even he was almost taken into the ditch just now.
After Jiang Ruoxing looked at it for a while, he said to Jiang Ruozhi.
"No wonder you called me over. He is purely trying to make things difficult for you. This game is not something you can break."
"Huh?...Hey, wait a minute."
Jiang Ruoxing suddenly realized something was wrong.
"This.... ."
Jiang Ruoxing looked back at Jiang Ruozhi in shock.
"What's going on, didn't you say that you can't crack this game? But now this game has been cracked. It's been solved."
"What? Impossible."
Jiang Ruozhi stepped forward immediately, his gaze swept across the chessboard.
He had already memorized this game in his heart, and he remembered it by heart.
Whether the game was broken or not, he could tell almost instantly.
Moreover, he locked the extra black chess piece that broke the whole chess game in one game.
"It's broken, it's really broken. It's been solved."
Jiang Ruozhi pointed to the extra black chess piece, and said to Jiang Ruoxing.
"Brother, it's this black chess piece, which didn't exist before. Now it's broken."
"Wonderful. You still have such a master here?"
Jiang Ruoxing said in shock.
"Which other master did you invite?"
Jiang Ruozhi himself was a little dazed and said.
"No, you're the only one I... Wait."
Jiang Ruozhi immediately turned around and asked the members of the association behind him.
"Who played this chess here?"
Several members looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"We have no idea president. We all left just now, and we didn't see anyone coming."
"Could it be those contestants? After we left, someone came over?"
"It's possible."
Jiang Ruozhi immediately went crazy, and shouted.
"Quick, go and check the monitoring, which expert broke this game."
He had studied the chess game for several days, but he had no clue, but someone actually solved it.
This is enough to show how profound this person's chess skills are.
Those few smiled wryly for a while.
"President, we haven't installed the surveillance here yet."
Jiang Ruozhi said angrily.
"Then go ask the staff if they have seen it."
"Yes, we're going right now."
