Once won the national championship!
For a moment, Qin Weiyang, Wu Yueyue and the others were a little shocked.
They didn't expect that the Oasis Club would be so generous and randomly arrange a referee, who was a former national champion and a professional eight-dan chess player.
The highest level in Go is nine-dan, and eight-dan is obviously the next highest level.
As laymen, they don't know that under the current dan system, eighth and ninth dans are not very valuable.
If it was the Fuso Shogunate era, there could only be one ninth-dan in the same era, so the status of the ninth-dan would naturally be supreme, and the gold content of the eighth-dan would be extremely high.
But now, as long as you get the corresponding title, the chess academy will automatically grant you a certain rank.
This has led to the fact that there are now nine sections everywhere and eight sections as numerous as dogs.
In a regular game, when an eighth-dan chess player faces a second- or third-dan chess player, there is no guarantee of victory.
There are many domestic competitions now. Some low-level competitions cannot attract the most powerful chess players, and the gold content of the championship is not too high.
Of course, a champion is a champion. Having won the national championship can at least prove that this referee was among the backbone chess players in the country during his peak period, and was at least ranked among the top 20 or 30 players.
Such a chess player is naturally qualified to judge Cao Han's Go level, and his judgment can definitely be used as the most authoritative identification.
Seeing that his name had calmed those people, the referee felt a little proud.
It is true that the reason why he got into the Oasis Club to be a referee shows that he is doing very poorly at the moment.
However, others will not know this. After all, he is still a national champion, and his words will have the weight of a champion!
"This young man Cao Han is very good at chess. I have known him for some years. It is indeed a pity that he did not become a professional chess player, and it is also a loss for China Go!" the referee said.
This is a very serious statement.
You know, there are hundreds of professional chess players in China. Excluding those who have not yet matured and those who have declined, there are nearly a hundred people in their prime.
Among these nearly a hundred people, except for the top few, none of them are considered indispensable.
In fact, even the top few super masters are regulars in the World Series finals and can often win championships and bring glory to the country. They are indeed very important to the current Chinese Go community, but they may not necessarily be able to win the championship. I deserve the words of the referee.
If a person fails to learn Go, others will naturally pick up the slack. There have been so many masters in Chinese history, and they retired one by one, which did not prevent Go from being passed down.
If you really want to say that not learning chess is a loss for Chinese Go, the ancient Huanglongshi Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia may barely be considered. In contemporary times, only Nie Weiping and Nie Lao can deserve such an honor.
Mr. Nie achieved an astonishing 11 consecutive victories in the China Fuso Go Tournament. He single-handedly defeated the Fuso Six Super Leagues that dominated the world chess world. He shocked the whole world and set off a trend of learning Go in China. .
It can be said that he is the founder of modern Chinese Go.
Without him, China would not have such a large Go population, and without such a large Go population, it would be impossible to produce so many Go masters.
Apart from anything else, in China, there are many people who cannot play chess and do not understand the rules of Go, but a large part of these people have at least heard of the name Nie Weiping.
This is his influence, which has transcended Go itself.
Therefore, Nie Weiping is definitely worthy of the saying that if he did not become a professional chess player, it would be the loss of China Go.
But why should Cao Han be compared with Mr. Nie?
Even Li Jie and Huang Zhongtian did not agree with the referee's judgment.
But no one dared to speak out against him.
After all, among all the people here, everyone else is an amateur. Only this referee is the real expert and can be considered a master.
"I see that you guys seem a little unconvinced." The referee looked around.
Indeed, although everyone did not dare to refute him, their expressions were full of disbelief.
"That's fine. I know you actually don't quite understand this game, so I'll explain it to you."
The referee continued to place the pieces on the chessboard as he spoke.
It had been quite a while since Lu Fan, Cao and Han started playing, and dozens of chess pieces had been placed on the chessboard.
"In this game, Cao Han did not choose the conventional star positions or small-purpose openings, but chose three-three angles. This is enough to prove that he has sufficient personal thinking on the chessboard and does not follow the crowd or stick to fixed formulas. .”
The referee praised Cao Han's start.
Because modern Go places more emphasis on the importance of mid-game combat, star positions or small-purpose corner-taking methods are more conducive to mid-game combat than three-three, so most openings now do not use three-three.
This also made what could have been a relatively routine start become unpopular.
However, Cao Han unexpectedly chose an unpopular opening, which shows that he has a very deep research on this opening, and also shows that he is very confident in himself. He believes that no matter what opening he uses, he can achieve the desired effect.
"But, since most people choose to start with that little star, doesn't it prove that this kind of start is better? There are good starts but you don't need to use the less common ones. This shows that Cao Han's level is not enough!" Wu Yueyue asked a little unconvinced.
She felt that the referee's words were too biased.
It is obviously a method that is not commonly used, but you still boast that it is invincible. It is really too much.
"What do you know?" The referee glanced at Wu Yueyue disdainfully.
"What does it matter if it is common or not? The key is whether you can achieve the results you want by using such a start!"
"Did Cao Han achieve the results he wanted?" Qin Weiyang asked.
At this moment, the big screen in the viewing room showed that Cao Han had taken another step.
"Wonderful!" The referee slapped his thigh and shouted immediately.
Just now, he was not sure whether Cao Han had an advantage. After all, there was really no advantage in the three-three start.
But now, with this masterful move, he was able to confirm that Cao Han's start was indeed very thoughtful.
"Look at this, as soon as you make this move, the situation of this game will gradually become clearer!"
The referee also put down the move Cao Han had just made on the chessboard in the research room.
Qin Weiyang and the others gathered around.
