He can't lose!

This is not only a cherishment of national honor, but also a sense of mission for Chinese Go.

Over the past thirty years, Japanese Go, which has long been professionalized in Chinese Go games, has been struggling to catch up.

From 1960 to 1966, in the 12 Go friendly matches between China and Japan, the Chinese players failed to win any of them, and even suffered a humiliating defeat as "the Japanese old lady swept the Chinese chess world".

After twenty years of hard work and hard work, Nie Weiping and his generation of chess players finally became popular, and it was finally time for Chinese and Japanese chess players to compete.

In this battle, we can only win, not lose!

This is not only the expectation of the Chinese people for Nie Weiping, but also Nie Weiping's encouragement to himself.

After the opening, Nie Weiping adopted the wrong small move layout. He obviously fully considered Fujisawa Hideyuki's world-famous opening fifty moves.

The purpose is to lengthen the battle line, gain ground first, and then compete with the opponent in the second half of the game.

On the other hand, Fujisawa Hideyuki, after Nie Weiping made his first move, leaned his back on the sofa, lay back and closed his eyes for several minutes before he started to make his moves.

Ten minutes after the start, all the photos that the reporters were supposed to take were taken and the video was recorded. Referee Chen Zude asked them to leave the game room.

Most of the people in the game room were missing. There was only the sound of two chess players making moves, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

After the 35th move, Black had a slight local advantage, but when he was lagging behind, White grabbed the key point of the 8th position, and the overall speed was actually a beat slower.

Seeing this, many masters who have a thorough understanding of Go frowned. Fujisawa Hideyuki has always had an excellent view of the overall situation. If this continues, Nie Weiping may be at a disadvantage.

Go is a sport that tests your brain power extremely. Massive deductions require extraordinary memory and IQ, as well as time.

Nie Weiping and Fujisawa Hideyuki are undoubtedly the top Go masters in the world today, and they are participating in such an ultimate decisive battle that concerns the prestige of the two countries' Go circles.

The two of them were careful about every move they made, lest they fall into the opponent's trap.

After the 48th move, Nie Weiping entered the state of long examination and did not move for a long time. The whole morning passed in such long calculations and deductions.

After the game was closed at noon, the Chinese and Japanese chess players gathered together to discuss the gains and losses of the previous chess game, but Nie Weiping and Fujisawa Hideyuki were both alone.

In such a war, any opinions from outsiders are interference to them, and they must maintain independent thinking.

Nie Weiping only ate two slices of watermelon during his meal, but Hideyuki Fujisawa ate a lot of dumplings and cantaloupe, and seemed to be in good spirits and with good appetite.

This makes the Chinese chess players and leaders feel inexplicably worried. It seems that the situation in the afternoon is still not optimistic!

In the afternoon, the two sides kept going back and forth.

By 3 p.m., the confrontation had lasted for six hours.

When Nie Weiping relied on 118, he did not counterattack decisively and fell into passivity. All the chess players watching the game felt cold sweat for Nie Weiping.

But no one expected that after ten moves, Fujisawa Hideyuki would make a slow move, allowing Black to grab five of Tiger's super officials.

"There is hope!" Lin Chaoyang heard Jiang Zhujiu murmur to himself in a low voice beside him.

Seeing this move, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but clenched his fists.

I don't know if it was because of his physical strength, but Fujisawa Hideyuki made a series of slow moves in the next official stage, and the black pieces formed a complete circle on the upper right.

After that, Black jumped to the 147th position, and the board had an advantage of nearly 10 goals, and the victory was obvious.

Nie Weiping was very close to winning the first Sino-Japanese Go tournament. The game room was silent, and the needles could be heard in the Yanjing Gymnasium.

Everyone understands that although Nie Weiping has a great chance of winning at the moment, Go is like this. You can never be sure of the outcome until the last moment.

Entering the junior official stage, Fujisawa Hideyuki made another mistake.

After seven hours and twenty minutes of fierce fighting, Nie Weiping finally won the game with a 3-and-a-half-eye advantage.

When the victory was finally sealed, Nie Weiping leaned heavily on the sofa and looked up to the sky with a sigh.

Everyone present excitedly waved their fists and hugged each other in greeting.

The stadium was filled with cheers of victory. Also cheering were the Chinese people in front of millions of TV sets.

On November 20, 1985, the first Sino-Japanese Go Tournament finally came to an end 13 months after it started.

The Chinese team defeated the Japanese Go team with a record of 8:7. This was a landmark victory in the history of Chinese Go and a battle that established the prestige of Chinese Go.

From now on, the offensive and defensive trends of Chinese and Japanese Go will be different!

As for Nie Weiping, who persisted to the end in this two-country chess hegemony and defeated three top Japanese players in a row, he turned the tide and helped the building to collapse.

At this moment, he is like a god descending to earth, standing on the top of Asia!

Firecrackers celebrating the victory rang out outside the Yanjing Stadium, and the cheers and applause inside the stadium continued for a long time. Nie Weiping had already finished greeting his opponents and celebrating with his Chinese colleagues present.

When he saw Lin Chaoyang, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"It was right to invite you! I won!"

Lin Chaoyang joked: "You use me as a mascot!"

Everyone around heard their conversation and laughed, the laughter was unbridled.

Since the start of the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament last year, Lin Chaoyang and his "Chess Saint" have inexplicably had a placebo effect on the Chinese Go team.

Today, they finally won the group arena. Who can say that there is no reason why Lin Chaoyang is not there?

The higher the realm, the more feudal and superstitious one becomes.

At the end of the game, Nie Weiping was surrounded by reporters, enjoying the glory of the winner.

In the next two days, there were overwhelming news reports about the Chinese team’s victory in the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament.

"Guangming Daily" published an article saying: The Chinese team's victory in the first Sino-Japanese Go Tournament is as significant as the Chinese women's volleyball team winning the world championship, which greatly inspired the national spirit.

A commentary article in the People's Daily wrote: For the first time in more than a century, China defeated Japan in a Go game, completely rewriting the pattern of the Asian Go world.

In addition, many authoritative media such as China Youth Daily, Xinhua News Agency, and CCTV reported in detail on this victory.

The public opinion situation is exaggerated and its influence is greater than when Chinese athletes won more than a dozen gold medals at the Olympic Games last year!

In the days after his victory, Nie Weiping continued to be interviewed, met by leaders, gave reports, and gave speeches. He was surrounded by huge crowds of people wherever he went, and he seemed to have become a well-known national hero.

And at a time when the whole country is paying attention, every time Nie Weiping is interviewed by reporters and asked about the secret to victory in this competition, Nie Weiping always mentions this sentence.

"I was reading a novel before, and there was a saying in it that was very good. If the country's fortune is prosperous, the chess fortune will be prosperous!

The victory of the Chinese team is not a victory for me alone, but a victory for the entire Chinese people!"

Along with the reporters' reports, the saying "When the country's fortunes are prosperous, so will the chess fortunes prosper" spread throughout the country.

Many Go fans and literature lovers are familiar with this sentence. It is the highlight of the novel "The Master of Chess".

As the whole country celebrates the victory of the first Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, the novel "Chess Master" once again enters the horizons of hundreds of millions of people in this way.

In an instant, there was a rush to buy "The Master" in major bookstores across the country. Countless Chinese people flocked to this novel and wanted to see the charm of the Go novel that was praised by Nie Weiping!

"The rising sun! The rising sun!"

Today is already the third day of the last leg of the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament. In the morning, Lin Chaoyang was holding Yan Yan and basking in the sun under the window. His uncle Tao Yucheng ran in in a hurry.

"Brother, what's going on? Are you so excited?"

Tao Yucheng said excitedly: "Let me tell you something, "The Master of Chess" has been re-screened!"

"Replay?" Lin Chaoyang looked surprised, and then he immediately figured it out.

It must be that the recent Sino-Japanese Go Tournament has become too popular. Not to mention ordinary people, even those G-level cadres are very concerned about it. China Film naturally wants to take advantage of the popularity. This is also a good opportunity to show up in front of the leaders.

"They had a good plan!" Lin Chaoyang joked.

Tao Yucheng laughed and said, "That's right."

"When did it happen?"

"Yesterday, it was released in the cinema yesterday, and I went to see it. What a guy! It's even more popular than the new movie."

After talking about the re-release of "The Chess Master", Tao Yucheng talked about the novel "The Chess Master" again.

"Not only the movies, your novels are also very popular now. It's really amazing! Nie Weiping and the others really won the competition after reading your novels and movies."

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with this, it's because they played chess well."

"Chaoyang, don't be humble. Doesn't it have a big effect or a small effect? ​​I think it has a somewhat motivating effect. The plot of "The Master of Chess" is so inspiring!"

Tao Yucheng's ideas are very representative, logical and irrefutable.

Ordinary people simply believe that "The Master of Chess" must have some effect on this game, otherwise Nie Weiping would just talk about it without any problem?

The fanatical public opinion aroused by the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament continues with great vigor. After this war, the situation of Japanese Go being the dominant player in the Asian chess world was completely rewritten.

The popularity of Go among the people has also spread since then. With the endorsement of Nie Weiping, a national hero, the novel "Chess Saint" has become an enlightenment reading for millions of Go beginners, and the movie of the same name has become a celebration for countless passionate young people.

The most heartfelt way to win.

Under the attention of countless people, the novel has been selling well, the movie has been re-released, and Lin Chaoyang and his works have also become popular.

A few days later, Li Tuo excitedly ran to Lin Chaoyang's house. He was a spy in the Yanjing literary world, and any disturbance in the literary world could not escape his ears.

"Chaoyang, have you heard? The Cultural Association has held the second meeting of the Mao Prize."

"What's the meaning?"

Li Tuo reminded: "Award judging, the list of winning works will come out at this meeting."
