Chapter 30: Lei Meng Nie Zheng
Li Yuanhu could tell that Cai Zhixiong seemed to be a frequent visitor here, because Gu Dali was not surprised to see him, and was not even surprised to see him bring strangers with him, as if he was used to it.
Gu Dali simply said, "Uncle Cai is here?" Then he smiled politely at Li Yuanhu and let the two in.
Old Cai indeed looked very familiar with the place. After he changed his shoes, he even patted Gu Dali on the shoulder affectionately:
"Where's your master? Is he setting up the chess again?"
After being patted by Old Cai, Gu Dali, who is not yet 18 years old, nodded shyly: "Yes, everyone is in the living room now. Okay, I will also go to set up the chess pieces. Uncle Cai, you guys can do whatever you want."
After saying this, Gu Dali actually left the two of them alone and went in first.
Li Yuanhu was stunned. He obviously didn't react at once. But Lao Cai had a normal expression, as if he was accustomed to this kind of thing.
Old Cai smiled and said to Li Yuanhu, "Okay, stop being stunned. I 'll take you to see how professional chess players set up their chess pieces."
The living room was just in front of them, just around the corner through the corridor. Before they saw anyone, Li Yuanhu heard a loud voice. Li Yuanhu was quite familiar with this voice, because as a senior chess fan, he had often heard this voice talking about chess on TV more than 10 years ago:
"It's valuable! This change is so valuable! According to our judgment just now, when the actual game reaches this... which move is this? Yes, the 52nd move. When the actual game reaches the 52nd move, the white chess player has a definite advantage, right? And we have also studied that during this period of time, the actual game method of the black chess player is basically normal. I can't say how good it is, but every move is basically up to standard. What does this mean? This of course means that the white chess player's play is valid..."
"...Tsk tsk, this is incredible. Wang Lei, you are an incredible opponent. If the exchange in Snow Avalanche can be omitted, then... that would be a revolution, you know? It is a revolution to this formula. Hats off, I must take my hat off to this person now. Come on, let's move the chess pieces again and again. If this move is really successful, it will be a complete subversion of 'Snow Avalanche'..."
The arrival of Li Yuanhu and Cai Zhixiong interrupted Old Nie's endless chatter, but he only paused for a moment. Seeing the two people appear, Old Nie didn't even say hello. He just nodded slightly to Old Cai, then looked at Li Yuanhu curiously, and then ignored the two people and continued to communicate with his disciples.
Since no one paid attention, Li Yuanhu had time to carefully observe the whole living room. Since the whole building was developed by Li Yuanhu, he knew that the area of the living room was more than 30 square meters, which was not small, but the decoration was very simple, even unusually plain.
The most eye-catching place in the entire living room is a large table placed in the center. This table is as big as a ping-pong table and has several chess boards on it. In addition to Old Nie Dama Jindao sitting in the center, there are six or seven young chess players surrounding him today.
The two people closest to Lao Nie, one of them is "Lei Meng Zhuan Zhu" who was defeated by "Jue Yi" today, Lao Nie's disciple and one of the "Seven Little Dragons" Wang Lei, 8th Dan.
The other one is Yu Bin, a 9th dan player of the national team. He is in excellent form at the moment. Not only is he ranked 3rd in the domestic ranking, he also just defeated South Korea's Li Changhao, the undisputed number one in the world chess world, in the "LG" Cup and reached the final of a world championship for the first time in his career .
It is not surprising that Yu Jiudan appears here today as he has long served as the deputy head coach of "Nie Dojo".
In addition to these two, Li Yuanhu also saw Liu Qing 8th dan, Zhou Heyang 9th dan, as well as Shao Weigang 9th dan and Luo Xihe 8th dan, two non-disciples of Lao Nie, plus Gu Dali 5th dan who just opened the door - seeing such a lineup, Li Yuanhu was secretly amazed. There is no doubt that this lineup in front of him can be regarded as half of the current domestic chess world.
Because of what Lao Nie said just now, everyone started to analyze the chess pieces and began to conduct a deeper study on the variation. Li Yuanhu noticed that the atmosphere was still very lively when everyone was analyzing the chess pieces. Lao Nie was not the only one talking. Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. From time to time, someone put forward their own opinions, and at the same time, various ways of playing were denied by themselves from time to time.
As for the research on chess pieces by professional chess players, amateur chess players like Li Yuanhu naturally had no say, and he did not dare to interrupt. However, Li Yuanhu was a man of a certain level after all, so he was very interested even when he was watching from the sidelines.
Before we knew it, it was past 11 o'clock in the evening. When everyone finally came to the conclusion that this change was indeed true, it was finally time to confirm the identity of "Jueyi".
When Li Yuanhu was ready and waiting for everyone to ask about Li Xiangping's situation, Gu Dali, who was playing chess, started to shout, "Huh? I seem to have some impression of this person. If I'm not mistaken, then I should, I should have played chess with this master."
Well, now everyone's attention was attracted by Gu Dali's words, including Li Yuanhu himself.
All of a sudden, questions like "When did you play against him?", "Where did you play?", "What name did your opponent use?", "Who won and lost in the game you played?" were directed at Gu Dali.
"I lost that game of chess, and I lost badly."
Gu Dali seemed a little embarrassed when he said this: "About 10 days ago, I met a master named 'Honinbo Xiuqin' on Lianzhong, and got beaten up by him. It was through the analysis of the chess pieces just now that I felt that the chess styles of these two people very similar. Both of them have unconventional layouts, often with new ideas, and they are extremely powerful, with strange points of force. Not only that, this person's ability to control the game is also super strong..."
At this point, Gu Dali also recounted the story of "persuading the enemy to surrender" that day. After that, Gu Dali concluded: "It is precisely because the winning methods of these two games are very similar that I guess it is not necessarily the same person, but who this master is, I really can't guess."
After saying this, Gu Dali cleared a chessboard and set out the chess set for everyone to see. Naturally, everyone studied his arrangement, and another half an hour passed.
At the end, when Cai Zhixiong whispered a few words to Old Nie and when everyone's eyes were on Li Yuanhu, Li Yuanhu did not dare to speak.
What a joke! In the eyes of these professional chess players, this “Jueyi” is extremely talented (able to create new players), extremely powerful (able to beat Gu Dali and Wang Lei), has a strong control ability and is extremely confident (able to play the kind of “persuasion to surrender” chess in a time-sensitive online game).
How could such a person be my boy?
Li Yuanhu was not unwilling to believe. To be honest, at this time, he really hoped that this person was Li Xiangping, but he just didn't dare to believe it.
You have to know that Li Xiangping is only 13 years old now. So in Li Yuanhu's mind, Master Wu Qingyuan probably did not have such a level when he was 13 years old.
"This... 'Jueyi' is indeed the account used by my kid. He is now in Jinling, but I really don't know whether he hired someone to play chess..."
In the end, this was all Li Yuanhu could say.
More than half an hour later, that is, after midnight, Li Yuanhu and Cai Zhixiong finally said goodbye and left Lao Nie's residence.
"Old Li, I think you really need to hurry up and bring your son to the capital. First, you can take him to the hospital, and second, you can take care of this matter..."
"We are going to take him over, but we'll have to wait until after tomorrow night... No, now I should say tonight, after he finishes playing chess tonight."
Li Yuanhu had a smile on his face when he said this, because just now, the next opponent of "Jueyi" had been decided by those in the room, and it would be Yu Bin, 9th Dan. This was also because Yu, 9th Dan, relied on his older age and more seniority to grab this chess opportunity.
"By the way, Lao Cai, what is Yu Jiudan's pseudonym in the Leimeng?"
"Hmm, I think his name is Lei Meng Nie Zheng."
"Haha, Lei Meng Nie Zheng..."
