Chapter 37 Game 37 Hello, Yu Liang

In the third stage, when he returned to Anhui Province, Tian Minze truly realized the benefits of being famous.

The first stage and the second stage were simply Tian Minze's exhibition matches, with 7 consecutive victories, and the difficulty was getting higher and higher, which had pushed the popularity of the three-province exchange competition to a new level.

With this popularity, Lu Jing negotiated Tian Minze's first endorsement contract in her life.

With the help of the Anhui Provincial Chess Academy, Qiming Screen, one of the strongest listed companies in Anhui Province, and Tian Minze reached a three-year endorsement contract.

Tian Minze also started posting promotional copy on his Weibo in accordance with the contract, and had his first promotional video.

At least this kind of business cooperation opportunity has not been available to many professional chess players.

This stage of the competition will start at the end of July, and Tian Minze finally has the opportunity to make his home appearance. The Anhui Provincial Chess Academy attaches great importance to it and started selling live tickets early, and they were quickly sold out.

Tian Minze's opponent is Long Jie, a 7th-dan deputy chess player from the Gan Provincial Chess Academy.

Before the game, Long Jie made it clear that he would regard Tian Minze as a seven-dan chess player and he would never underestimate his opponent.

Sure enough, Long Jie showed all his energy on the chessboard, holding black and constantly attacking.

Tian Minze did not take advantage of the newbies he used during the layout stage, and kept fighting hard in the middle game. It was also the first time that he realized the computing power and stable mentality of a real professional chess player like an ordinary machine.

In the official stage, Tian Minze's special pressing tactics met Long Jie's highly focused seventh-dan. Not only did he not take any advantage, but he continued to lose money. When he found that the situation was irreversible, he did not continue to persist and stood up to shake hands.

To surrender is to admit defeat.

When he walked out of the game room, Tian Minze still felt a little guilty. After all, the chess fans who came today were all here to see him win, but they ended up losing miserably.

Unexpectedly, chess fans gave Tian Minze warm applause. Many people brought small objects such as fans and asked Tian Minze to sign his name and take a souvenir.

Tian Minze also agreed one by one. An elderly chess fan said, "Minze, we have never seen a talented chess player like you. In the past, we were all in the magic city. The young chess players in Kyoto defeated us miserably."

, you have given credit to our Anhui province."

Tian Minze also thanked the chess fans for their support.

The loss to him in the three-province exchange competition is over. In this competition, Tian Minze got the bonus easily.

The entry fee agreed before the game is 20,000, the appearance fee is 10,000, the victory fee is 10,000 for the first game, and an additional 20,000 for each additional game won.

Tian Minze played 8 times and won 7 times. He received an unprecedented 230,000 bonus in the invitational tournament. He made a lot of money, which is comparable to entering the semi-finals in the title match.

Zhou Zhongxia and Mr. Zhou joked that it seemed like a competition was held for Tian Minze this time.

However, because the popularity of the competition exceeded expectations, except for the first round, all subsequent competitions were sold out. With the live broadcast fees, the organizing committee will still make a lot of money, which is a win-win situation.

"Minze", He Youchuan stopped Tian Minze who was about to leave.

"Uncle He, what do you want from me?"

"I have a young chess player here who I plan to introduce to you. He is also the future star of Go in Anhui Province," He Youchuan said with a smile.

Tian Min was a little curious, and then the two of them came to a reception room. There was a young chess player in a suit sitting next to the coffee table.

In fact, Tian Minze recognized the person in front of him without any introduction.

"Hello, Tian Minze, I am Yu Liang."

"Hello, Yu Liang."

…

He Youchuan introduced, "Yu Liang is the son of Yu Xiaoyang, one of the strongest chess players in our country. His family has great skills and extraordinary chess skills."

Tian Min nodded, stretched out his hand to invite Yu Liang, "Let's play a game?"

Yu Liang happily agreed. This name has appeared repeatedly recently, and he is also very curious about this rising star.

He Youchuan took out the chessboard, but the two of them did not guess first. Tian Min found that the chess box he took was a white chess piece, so he motioned for Yu Liang to play first.

While playing chess, Tian Minze casually chatted, "Yu Liang, you probably didn't play chess in Anhui Province before."

"Yes, in order to chase someone, I went to the Korean Chess Academy to practice."

"If I'm not wrong, it should be time. I read the report on "The Go Prodigy" back then."

Yu Mingliang nodded and admitted frankly, "I really want to play another game of chess with time."

Tian Min then said to He Youchuan who was watching the game, "Uncle He, the game of chess that Shi Guang and I played can be found online. You can give it to Yu Liang."

He Youchuan smiled and said, "Of course you can find it. It was very popular a few months ago."

The two of them played relatively quickly, and they didn't think for a long time about each move. Yu Liang was very confident in his own skills.

Tian Minze didn't show any flying knives, just to see how Yu Liang's chess skills were.

In the middle game, Yu Liang's chess style was very rigorous, he avoided completing the transition with Tian Minze several times, and also set many traps.

He likes fine chess, has profound calculation skills, and loves playing field games. Yu Liang's playing methods are obviously different from those of domestic professional chess players he has seen, and he has the style of playing chess at the Korean Chess Academy.

Tian Minze still opened and closed, constantly looking for opportunities in the middle game. Of course, there were many times when he reluctantly attacked, and he still used what he was best at to show on the chessboard.

Around 140 moves, Tian Min took a look at the time and said, "Okay, your level is really very high. Do you plan to come back to participate in the fixed-stage competition this year? Let's learn how to compete again."

In informal games, the system will not evaluate the opponent's chess strength.

But Tian Min could feel that his opponent's chess skill should be around 78 to 80 points, which was almost as good as Zhao Xi, a 5th-dan female chess player from Gan Province, and Lu Jiang, an amateur 6-dan player from Jiangnan Province who had played against him before.

When Yu Liang heard about the fixed-stage competition, he was a little silent, "I still want to find time to play a game of chess, otherwise I won't give in."

Tian Min nodded, "You can take a look at the game first and think about whether it's worth it. If you still insist, I can only wish you good luck."

The two added WeChat, said goodbye and left.

Yu Liang was walking home with the chess record Tian Minze mentioned specifically.

This is a high school league, a game of chess between Tian Minze and Shiguang, or Chu Ying.

Chu Ying was careless and lost Jingzhou, and was hit by Tian Minze's novice new style. He has always been somewhat passive. Moreover, in his mentality, he still had the mentality of ancient chess, so he did not lose unfairly.

Tian Min very much hoped that after seeing this game, Yu Liang would give up his desire to play against time and set a stage a year earlier, so that he would have the opportunity to compete head-on with Yu Liang in the stage competition.

I also want to experience the level of this person who is said to be the strongest newcomer and has won all the stage races.

Tian Min raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky.

"Time, Yu Liang, I have made my voice heard. I hope you can stand on this field as soon as possible."
