"What do you mean?" Cao Han paused in his heart.
The World Series, the cycle of title battles, and the most exciting matches in the professional game, this has included all the high-level duels!
Is there any competition that is not included in this, but the level is also very high? Cao
Han thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. "
There was a period of one or two years where I had to play two games with the same person every day. His chess skills are stronger than mine. The level of this kind of game must be high enough, right? "Lu Fan seemed to be remembering something.
"Impossible!" Cao Han shouted. "
How can a game be the same as an ordinary game? The pressure on both sides during the game is simply not comparable to that in ordinary games! Only under high pressure can a chess player's level be improved! "
he shouted back.
No one knows the difference between competitive play and normal play better than him, because he is a perfect example of it. exist
When participating in the fixed-stage competition, the strength of their group of young chess players was almost indistinguishable from each other. If it was a hard score, Cao Han's level was even slightly higher. Can
Yes, after so many years, he has not become a professional chess player, so naturally he cannot play professional games. Others have become professional chess players and participated in many competitions.
Cao Han also communicated with those people. He could clearly feel that his level was getting worse and worse compared to them. No
As for the master who has already won the world championship, even those friends who have not achieved much can easily beat him on the chessboard now.
Cao Han thinks that although he has not participated in professional competitions in recent years, he must have worked as hard as anyone else on chess.
He spends at least eight hours every day playing chess, which is no less than that of many professional chess players. but
It took time, but the progress is far inferior to others. This gap is obviously the professional competition. position
Professional competitions have bonuses, game fees, rankings and honors and other pressures, which are not found in ordinary practice games.
Therefore, no one understands the importance of professional competitions in improving chess players' chess skills better than Cao Han, although he has never participated in a professional game.
"Yes, I have been playing chess for so many years and have met many very talented people. However, no matter how talented a person is, they cannot be very strong before they experience the training of professional competitions." Referee Huang also agreed. Cao Han's point of view. "
Do you think that only professional competitions are stressful? "Lu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Actually, it's not the case. The reason why professional competitions are stressful is that they are not just a game, but also include other things. So, if the game can include other things, it will still be very stressful for the chess players. It’s stressful.” I thought
If he had lost badly at chess, he would have done all kinds of very inhumane things. This kind of pressure would probably be much greater than losing his title, prize money, and honor! "
you mean? "Cao Han asked doubtfully.
He still doesn't quite understand, how can an ordinary game be too stressful? "
Still don’t understand? "Lu Fan glanced at him and laughed inexplicably.
"For example, in our game, if I lose, I have to let you do whatever you want. If you lose, you have to go down to the gate and push the chessboard. Is this considered stressful?"
Of course, lifting the chessboard wasn't something he suddenly thought of when his head got hot. He had done this job a lot back then!
Therefore, when he was playing chess and making a bet, he remembered this matter and naturally proposed such a bet. Cao
Han's expression changed, and then he remembered that their game of chess had a bet!
Before playing chess, he never thought that he would lose, so he didn't take the opponent's conditions seriously.
You won't lose anyway, so why do you care? Down
After finishing the chess game, Cao Han had so many doubts in his heart that he had no time to think about the bet.
It was only now, when Lu Fan mentioned it, that he remembered that such a thing existed!
There is pressure, of course there is pressure!
No matter who you are, it will be very stressful if you have to go to the gate to hold the chessboard until you lose.
The reason why Cao Han forgot was because he underestimated his opponent too much. If he was a well-matched opponent with such a bet, then the weight of this game might even be no less than that of a regular professional game!
This kind of game with a bet will indeed put a lot of pressure on people!
"In that case, shouldn't you go down now?" Lu Fan patted the chessboard in front of him. "
There is no need to find another chessboard, this one is very good, just use it! "
Cao Han's face turned green. Eye
The chessboard in front of you is not a chessboard used for formal competitions.
The specifications of the chessboards used in the competition are all the same. Although there is no problem with the quality, it is obvious that they will not use too good materials. but
The chessboard in front of me is entirely made of South China Sea pear wood in order to improve its quality and suit the status of the Oasis Club and Mr. Cao.
As we all know, the more expensive the wood, the greater its weight. this
Such a chessboard made of pure pear wood is probably two or three times as heavy as an ordinary chessboard!
It would be absolutely unbearable to hold such a chessboard for five minutes, let alone half an hour!
Cao Han came from a wealthy family and was pampered since he was a child. His hobby was non-sporty things like Go, and his body was not strong. "
how? Do you want to regret it? "Lu Fan looked at him with a half-smile.
"No..." Cao Han was very hesitant. this
This is a bet, should I fulfill it? according to
With his family's status, it wouldn't matter even if he failed a bet. who
What else can you do to force the Cao family?
However, this is a bet on the chessboard. Cao
Han has always attached great importance to the promises on the chessboard. This is his bottom line as a chess fanatic. "
This chessboard is too heavy. Even if I want to lift it, I have to find a standard chessboard to lift it. "
He hesitated for a while and finally decided that he must stick to his bottom line.
He has already breached the contract with Go once and never wants to do it again. "
Mr. Cao! How can this be done! "Li Jie and Huang Zhongtian couldn't help shouting.
They all hope that Cao Han will not admit the previous bet. this
This is equivalent to Cao Han and Qin Weiyang completely breaking up with each other, and they must help them. according to
Logically speaking, it is definitely impossible for a young man like him to do something like playing a chessboard in public. Can
Who would have thought that Cao Han would not act according to common sense and even agree to such a thing!
