Rosin Academy is located in the west of Gusu City, not far from Puming Temple, and just a few hundred meters south.
When Chen Fan and the rest of the group arrived, it was already almost noon. After renting a car, he went to Lu Yan's house first, but Lu Yan was not there. Then he rushed to the college, which delayed him a bit, but luckily it was okay on the way. It went smoothly, we didn't encounter the traffic jams that happen in modern times, and it wasn't too late.
The situation at the entrance of Rosixiang College was different from that of Zhenwu Temple. Although it was almost noon, there were still people coming and going, and the crowds were bustling. Chen Fan finally felt the busy scene of enrollment in modern society.
"Excuse me, where is Dean Lu?" Chen Fan asked after catching a man who looked like a teacher.
"Dean Lu is in the Chess Academy. You can go over here and follow the road to the right."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Fan decided to find Dean Lu first. After all, he was not sure how to sign up or whether to sign up, so he had better go to Dean Lu and ask.
"Fasheng, why are you here?" Chen Fan hadn't reached the chess court yet, but he bumped into Lu Zifeng on the way.
"Brother Lu." Chen Fan went up and shouted affectionately, it's great to meet an acquaintance! "I came to see Dean Lu and wanted to ask if I should sign up first to come and observe?"
"It shouldn't be necessary. Just go in and listen to any class you want. Last time in Meiyuan, several teachers from the Chess Academy were actually there. Maybe you didn't notice, but the teachers all noticed you. Dean Lu was there Qi Yuan, let me take you there and see what he says." Lu Zifeng said enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you Brother Lu. This is my cousin Xiao Qing, and that is his master, Master Huang. They also wanted to see the Rosin Academy, so they came together."
"This is Dean Lu's nephew, Lu Zifeng." When we met just now, I didn't have time to introduce the people around me. Now I followed Lu Zifeng towards Dean Lu. I naturally wanted to introduce him when I had time. Hou Feng and Lu Zifeng have met several times, but Chen Fan has not introduced them again. The two parties said they were happy to meet each other, and they were considered acquaintances.
"Fa Sheng, you're here." Lu Ban saw Lu Zifeng leading Chen Fan into the hall of the Chess Academy and walked over.
"Yes, Master, new students are checking in at Taoist Temple today. I think there should be new students checking in at Master's side, so after checking in over there, I'll come over and see if I need any help?"
"Fasheng is very interested. You came at the right time. The chess skills instructor for this freshmen class is Chang Hai. Master Chang has a fifth-grade chess skill. Although his chess skills may be weaker than yours, he has solid theoretical basic knowledge. If you want to listen to the theory, You can go to his class and I will take you to meet him."
"Okay, thank you Master." Chen Fan followed Lu Yan to see Chang Hai. Lu Zifeng greeted Chen Fan and went to do his work.
When Xiao Qing and others arrived at the entrance of the Chess Academy, they did not come in and were wandering around the door. At this time, they happened to meet Lu Yan and Chen Fan who came out. They did not avoid it and nodded to Lu Quan to say hello. Chen Fan said in time: "Master, This is Master Huang and his student Xiao Qing. We had dinner with Yajun at the Old Loft Restaurant last time. I wonder if Master still remembers it?"
Lu Xian said: "I have the impression that your eldest brother was there at that time."
"Yes, this time they also wanted to visit the academy, so they came with me."
"Okay, welcome to our college. Let's have lunch here."
"Okay, let's call Master Chang together. Let's find a restaurant nearby where we can have a drink." Chen Fan was thinking about how to get closer to Master Chang, and Lu Xian's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
"Then it's agreed. You are guests today. When you get to my place, I will make arrangements."
"Okay, listen to Master." Chen Fan did not refuse, and added in his mind, "Master arranges it, and I will pay for it." He still had to pay for it. There were four of him, and he had to eat lunch. There are not many masters and masters.
"Let's go, let's go to Chang Hai together. He is the chess teacher for this freshmen class. Today he is at the freshmen registration office. Fasheng and I are about to go there." Lu Yan said to Master Huang, Xiao Qing and others.
"Okay, let's go with the dean." Master Huang answered.
Lu Yan led everyone to the freshman registration office. It was almost noon and there were not many people in the registration office, especially the chess registration office.
"Master Chang, are you still busy? Are there many freshmen learning chess this year?" An older student was sitting in front of the booth at the registration office, collecting information. Next to him stood a thin scribe in his thirties. With a bun on his head and a scribe's robe, Lu Quanzheng was talking to the scribe.
"Fortunately, there are more people this year than in previous years. There are already more than 60 people."
"That's good. I think coming to this national chess competition will play a positive role in promoting our chess skills. This is my new disciple Chen Fasheng. You met me in Meiyuan last time. I hope you can come to the chess academy for lessons in the future. Master Chang, please take good care of me."
"No problem. Fa Sheng's performance in Meiyuan last time left a deep impression on us. Now that he is Dean Lu's disciple, he is also a member of our chess academy. You are welcome to come to our chess academy for lessons." Chang Fuzi agreed readily.
"Thank you, Master." Chen Fan saluted.
"Let's go eat first and let's chat while we eat." Lu Fan took over the conversation and said.
Crispy Fragrance is located on the roadside not far from Rosin Academy and is famous for its fried crispy bones and fruit wine. The decoration of the small shop is simple but elegant. Perhaps due to the registration of new students, the restaurant's business is booming. Fortunately, Dean Lu is familiar with the boss and has a private room. Chen Fan and others are eating in the small shop. Specialties while chatting.
"There is a new student this year named Huang Hao. He was born into the Huang family in Suzhou. His grandfather was a minister of Guanglu and his father is now a fifth-grade doctor. His essays are pretty good, but unfortunately he is not interested in learning chess. He applied for the economics course and is interested in talking. Group, Fa Sheng can pay more attention to this person in the future. He also has certain attainments in poetry and poetry, so you can communicate more." Master Huang mentioned.
"Thank you Master Chang, I will pay attention to him." In this society, at the age of fifteen, it is time to consider the future path of life, and Chen Fan is also willing to make more friends so that they can help each other. But what he thinks about is not whether we can support each other in the future, but the key point. When he enters the society and makes friends, he may consider whether he can support each other, but Chen Fan is not willing to think so far when he is in school. It is not easy to start a new life again. Naturally, I have to live as relaxed a life as possible. We will talk about the future later. The key now is to look at the relationship and find friends who can treat people sincerely. However, Chen Fan still appreciates Mrs. Chang's kindness.
"Well, Mr. Fa comes to the chess academy. What do you want to learn? If there are lessons that Mr. Fa wants to attend, we can inform him in advance and ask you to come and listen." Perhaps seeing that Chen Fan was a bit perfunctory, Master Chang moved on. topic.
"Thank you Master Chang. I haven't systematically learned the theoretical knowledge of Go, so I just mess around and my level is unstable. When I play well, my chess skills are high, and when I play poorly, my chess skills are low, so I still have to give in the theoretical knowledge. Make up for it and stabilize your chess skills at the same level." Chen Fan is still very aware of his own shortcomings in Go, that is, he has never been a teacher and has received special guidance from a teacher. In some Go formulas, he only knows what they are, but does not know what they are. Therefore, Chen Fan didn't calm down and study why he was doing this and what the pros and cons were. This was the shortcoming of not learning from a teacher. Chen Fan decided to ask a teacher for guidance first to solidify his basic skills. Fortunately, he had the help of "Chengyin". In the later stage, you can copy down the chess records you memorized and understand them, but in the early stage, it is still necessary in Chen Fan's opinion to gain a comprehensive understanding of Go in this society through apprenticeship.
"If I want to win Go, personally, the most important thing is to rely on playing games. Remember the pros and cons of each move in the game. Choosing the best player is the key. Accumulating experience through playing games is the key to every chess player. It is an indispensable process, and the theoretical knowledge of Go that you mentioned, Fa Sheng, only teaches you how to play chess. You have already mastered these Go students, so you don’t need to listen."
Chen Fan suddenly realized that the theoretical knowledge he thought was different from what Chang Hai understood. Now that I think about it, his original idea was wrong. In this society, printing had not yet appeared, let alone how many Go records there were. He ignored that the rules of Go gradually developed later. By the time the "Chess Book" appeared in the Song Dynasty, It was only in "Thirteen Chapters" that the systematization of the theory of Go was truly established. It elaborated on the game from the perspective of game, power, reality, and game review. As for the summary and systematization of Go's formulas, it was only in the modern era that it gradually took shape. Chen Fan The Chinese style I like is a product of the 1980s and 1990s. As for the artificial intelligence machine AlphaGo's breakthrough in the set patterns of Go, it only happened in recent years. It seems that in order to summarize and sort out the understanding of Go, we have to Think quietly on your own.
However, Chen Fan's heart was filled with enthusiasm. Understanding this issue would be of great benefit to his subsequent plans to become famous. He wrote a book and explained the set-up stages of Go in order to increase his popularity, which people often ignored. Officials can be used as key research objects, but they do not need to be announced to increase the winning rate. The waves in his heart flashed like lightning, and he said: "Thank you Master Chang. Of course, you don't need to listen to the general theory. It is mainly the explanation of Go moves. If there are these classes, I would like to listen."
"Okay, that's no problem. It's just that this class of students has just entered school and it's not clear yet what their level is. Moreover, when teaching now, we will also consider those who have never played Go before. We will start from the basics and wait until the actual combat stage. , when explaining the case, Fa Sheng, you can come over and listen, and by the way, you can talk about your opinions, so that everyone can discuss with each other and make progress together."
"Master Chang is so humble. Sometimes I just go by my feelings. If I really wanted to tell you why I did this, I can't tell you. That's why I want to listen to the class systematically." In other people's classes, it is naturally better to be humble, Chen said. Fan only intended to listen, not to speak.
"No, Fasheng, you are so humble. We all know your chess skills. Dean Lu is not bad at judging people. Just don't think that my words are bad." Master Chang said jokingly.
"You guys should stop being humble to each other." Seeing that Chen Fan's attendance at the lecture had been settled, Lu Yuan next to him interjected: "By the way, Fa Sheng, last time you told Dean Wei in Cuixiang Pavilion, Fa Qing of the Northern Wei Dynasty The uprising will be destroyed within three months, how sure are you?"
"Seventy percent." Chen Fan replied. Although in Chen Fan's opinion, the elimination of the Faqing uprising would be a 100% sure thing, he cannot be sure of it. Saying 70% not only shows his confidence in the future judgment, but also Chen Fan thought it was just right for his current age and status.
