After an afternoon of discussion, the opinions within the chess academy finally reached a consensus.
The final result is basically similar to Lao Nie's proposal. If Li Jie can win the Samsung Cup this time, the Chess Academy will directly award him the title of 9th Dan after the game.
Of course, the conditions for being promoted directly to the ninth level are limited to 'winning the championship'.
If he reaches the finals and gets second place, he will definitely not even think about ninth-dan. The Chess Academy will at most award him the title of 'five-dan'.
Why is it five paragraphs instead of four or six paragraphs? This has to be traced back to more than thirty years ago.
At that time, the highest rank for Chinese Go players was "five-dan". After that, the rank system was suspended for more than 20 years.
It was not until the 1980s that the 'ranking system' was restarted.
Therefore, the title "Wu Duan" has a special meaning in China. In a certain period of time, Wu Duan is roughly equal to "Nine Duan".
If Li Jie wins runner-up again in the next World Go Competition, the Chess Academy will still directly award him the title of 9th Dan.
Moreover, this rule will become a practice from now on, that is, a World Series champion or a two-time World Series runner-up (who advances to the finals) will be rewarded with a direct promotion to the ninth level.
The Chess Academy also hopes to use this regulation to encourage domestic chess players to achieve good results in world competitions.
After the meeting, Dean Chen kept Lao Nie. He felt that Lao Nie's performance today was a bit too 'crazy'.
Although Lao Nie has always been like this, he still went out of his way today, especially Lao Nie who seemed to have great confidence in 'Xiao Du'. Looking at his performance, he almost assured that 'Xiao Du' would win the championship.
"Old Nie, what's your situation today?"
Of course Lao Nie understood what Dean Chen meant. The other party just wanted to ask himself why he was so sure?
But he didn't want to tell Dean Chen, so he just smiled mysteriously.
I know, but I don’t say it, eh, just playing!
"Hey, Dean, just wait and see."
"you……"
Dean Chen shook his head helplessly. This old boy actually had an affair with him.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
"Forehead."
This time it was Lao Nie's turn to be dumbfounded. He originally wanted to be reserved and reserved, but who would have thought that they would just stop asking.
"Ha ha."
The two have known each other for many years. How could Dean Chen not understand Lao Nie's temperament? He would not be fooled. After laughing twice, he left with his hands behind his back, regardless of Lao Nie's reaction.
…
…
…
There is no airtight wall in the world. Within two days, the results of this meeting spread throughout the domestic chess community.
How long has it been since this happened in China that people were directly promoted to ninth dan?
This decision immediately aroused heated discussion among everyone.
However, the external disturbances did not affect Li Jie because he had already returned to school.
Although he is famous, and he is famous, all Chinese parents understand it. After experiencing the initial joy and excitement, Du Wenhui felt that cultural classes should still be taken.
She thought very simply. She didn't ask her nephew to get into a good high school or a good university. She just wanted Li Jie to successfully finish high school.
If possible, it would be best to go to college. It doesn’t matter which college you go to. What matters is getting a diploma.
So, Li Jie returned to campus.
No. 2 Middle School, Class 3, Grade 2.
"Time, time, hurry up, let's go next door to get an autograph."
The little fat boy Zhao Xiang is a Go enthusiast. Although he is very good at playing chess, there is a saying that "people are addicted to food", which refers to people like him.
No, as soon as get out of class was over, he was going to take his good friend Shi Guang to the next door to watch the talented boy who was famous in China.
"I dont go."
Shiguang rejected his good friend's proposal without hesitation. He didn't want to go looking for some 'genius boy' to get an autograph.
I can't afford to lose that person.
After all, he is also a well-known Go genius. Everyone is a genius. Why should I ask someone for an autograph?
"You really don't want to go?" the little fat man urged, holding a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other.
"I'm not going!"
"Then I'll go."
The little fat man didn't force himself and ran away without looking back.
Looking at the excited little fat man, Shi Guang curled his lips secretly, thinking that sooner or later I would also win a world championship.
'Ha ha. '
Seeing the depressing time on his face, Chu Ying couldn't help laughing.
'snort! '
Hearing the narrow-mindedness in Chu Ying's laughter, Shi Shi turned to glare at him, and then threatened him with a "yin and yang" tone.
'Oops, I suddenly remembered something. I have to go to my grandpa's place on Saturday. It sounds like I haven't played chess with my grandpa for a long time since I entered the dojo to study. '
'Chu Ying, do you think I should spend more time with grandpa? '
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ying's laughter immediately stopped. He made an agreement with Time to play a few games of chess on the Internet every Saturday, either in the morning or in the afternoon.
The implication of what Shi Guang said just now is that the chess playing time is canceled this Saturday.
When he thought of this, Chu Ying changed his attitude and quickly said a few soft words.
Although Shiguang seemed to be 'threatening' Chu Ying, he was just having fun with it. In fact, even if Chu Ying did not change his words, he would not do that.
After all, Chu Ying is his guide in Go, and no one can see Chu Ying except him.
It would be too cruel not to let Chu Ying play chess anymore.
Jingle Bell!
After a while, the school bell rang, and the little fat man ran back to the classroom in a hurry. When the teacher didn't come, he was panting and showing off the news he just heard to the time.
"Time, you know, Duke will come to school every day during this period."
"Come every day?"
Shi Guang was obviously a little surprised when he heard the news and whispered in a low voice.
"Doesn't he need to train?"
The little fat man had very good ears. When he heard his good friend's doubts, he blurted out the answer.
"Of course we are training. Duke only comes in the morning and trains at home every afternoon. It is said that he trains online in Yicheng."
"However, the teachers who train with him are all teachers from the chess academy."
'Online training? '
When Shi Guang heard this, his heart moved and he glanced at Chu Ying beside him.
Chu Ying has always wanted to play chess with 'Duke', and he knows that, but 'Duke' has rarely played online Go since he became famous in one battle.
Even if you occasionally catch a glimpse, you will always miss it. In the face of this situation, time can do nothing even if it wants to fulfill it.
But now it seems like there is another chance?
Because of the name 'Chu Ying', he is still very famous on the Internet, even if 'Duke' only plays chess with his sparring partner.
But if I send an invitation to the other party to fight, for the sake of 'Chu Ying', the other party might accept the invitation, right?
Probably so, right?
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the opportunity was great.
'Chu Ying, do you want to play chess with Duke? '
Chu Ying nodded hurriedly.
'Of course I do! '
