Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The audience in the livestream was even more surprised.
“Ah ah ah, I’m going to die. Lin Fan and Wang Tianyi’s Chinese chess is really nice. Is this a fight between immortals?”
“Wang Tianyi is powerful. I’m just worried that Lin Fan might lose again.”
“Sigh, it’s fine. There’s definitely a difference in strength. After all, Lin Fan just played Chinese chess for less than half a year. But Wang Tianyi is already a veteran. Who can compare to Wang Tianyi at his peak?”
“It’s good that you did your best. Lin Fan, you can do it!”!!
“Yeah, Brother Fan, you can do it!!!”
There were countless [Keep It Up, Lin Fan] comments on the screen.
At the same time, the commentary platform was cheering for Lin Fan.
There were also countless Chinese chess fans, including Gossip. Professional players like Liu Xinyi were all cheering for Lin Fan.
In this year’s Chinese chess competition, Wang Tianyi had never lost a single game.
This was his overwhelming strength.
In Chinese chess competitions, no one would say something like “I can do it too”.
No professional player could take down Wang Tianyi.
All the famous professional Chinese chess players had been defeated by him.
Some people who didn’t know Chinese chess would say that he could use an app on his phone to play chess with a master at the level of Wang Tianyi.
In reality, at Wang Tianyi’s level, the Chinese chess master on the phone was no longer his match.
The reason why AI was better than humans was because AI had powerful algorithms.
But did someone really think that a few megabytes worth of Chinese chess software on their phone could defeat professional players?
This kind of AI also needed to be trained for a long time, and it had to be supported by a powerful database. It had to do hundreds of billions of calculations in a second and choose the best outcome to defeat the chess player.
Soon, the second round started.
Lin Fan sat down and took a deep breath.
Facing the unfathomable Wang Tianyi, Lin Fan felt extremely pressured.
Of course, other than pressure, there was also motivation.
After all, Wang Tianyi was a top professional Chinese chess player. It was not embarrassing to lose to him.
Most importantly, Lin Fan had learned to grow from this game of Chinese chess.
The commentator’s voice rang out. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the venue of the 21st China Chinese Chess Cup competition. The second round of Lin Fan and Wang Tianyi’s match is about to begin. Currently, Wang Tianyi is leading by 1:0. I hereby announce that the competition has begun!”
The audience was in an uproar.
“Lin Fan, you can do it!!”
“Wang Tianyi, you can do it too. If you defeat Lin Fan, you can win the championship for six consecutive years!”
“Wang Tianyi, Wang Tianyi, Wang Tianyi!!”
Su Xiaoyu also joined the shouting of the crowd. “Lin Fan, you can do it!!”
Lin Jingjing waved her support sign. “Lin Fan, you can do it!!”
Lin Qianwei also shouted happily, “Boss will win!!”
Even the usually quiet Su Muqing started cheering for Lin Fan. “Boss, you can do it! Charge!!!”
Xia Wanqiu didn’t shout out. She stood up and looked at Lin Fan expectantly. She stood in front and waved Lin Fan’s support sign with both hands.
If Lin Fan could win this time… she would let Lin Fan be on top occasionally in the future.
The second round began!
Lin Fan attacked first!
At first, Lin Fan chose to attack fiercely.
His continuous attacks could make people breathless.
Don’t forget that the current Lin Fan was also a top professional Chinese chess player.
Once Lin Fan took the opportunity, he would attack like a storm.
The commentator was also shouting excitedly, “It’s Lin Fan’s turn to attack now. Lin Fan’s cannon has rushed up. The horse has also jumped up. There’s also the chariot, check!!”
“This is Lin Fan’s first time checking Wang Tianyi! It’s a huge pressure. How should he defend against Lin Fan’s attack?”
“Ah! Wang Tianyi defended it!”
“Oh my god, Wang Tianyi made a wonderful move. Lin Fan’s chariot was captured!”
“Lin Fan’s brilliant counterattack captured Wang Tianyi’s chariot. The two sides are in a stalemate!!”
“It’s already been a stalemate for 20 minutes. Lin Fan and Wang Tianyi aren’t giving in to each other. How will this chess game continue?”
“Everyone, this is the first time since this competition that someone has been able to force Wang Tianyi to this extent. Lin Fan is now at an advantage!!”
“Goodness, Lin Fan’s horse and cannon have been captured. Lin Fan is at a disadvantage!”
“How did Wang Tianyi play chess? Why can’t I understand? Lin Fan suddenly became at a disadvantage. Wang Tianyi seemed to have set up a trap from the start. Lin Fan didn’t predict Wang Tianyi. Sigh, Lin Fan made a mistake!!”
“It’s a stalemate again. Wang Tianyi can’t defeat Lin Fan either, but Lin Fan has lost his best chance to attack.”
Ten minutes later…
The commentator sighed. “Lin Fan lost. In the early stages, he maintained a good offensive advantage, but Wang Tianyi is still too experienced. He taught the newcomer a lesson. Lin Fan has lost this round.”
“Let us congratulate Wang Tianyi for winning again.”
“Now, I have to remind everyone…”
“In the current battle, Wang Tianyi has won 2:0 against Lin Fan. Furthermore, Wang Tianyi has already obtained the match point! As long as Wang Tianyi wins again, Wang Tianyi will win and become the champion of the Chinese Chess Cup for six consecutive years!”
“Could it be that… even Lin Fan can’t stop Wang Tianyi?”
“Times haven’t changed after all.”
“Wang Tianyi hasn’t even drawn a single round in this competition. Until now, he hasn’t lost a single round. This is Wang Tianyi’s powerful strength.”
“The next round of the competition will begin in an hour. I hope Lin Fan can do his best!!”
After Lin Fan lost the second round, he felt a little tired.
He had really tried his best in this round.
Unfortunately, his calculation skills still did not surpass Wang Tianyi who tricked him and turned his advantage into a disadvantage. In the end, he lost the competition.
Wang Tianyi didn’t have any flaws and Lin Fan could feel how strong professional Chinese chess players were.
When he returned to the lounge, Lin Fan didn’t see anyone. He closed his eyes and carefully reviewed everything.
The hard work during this period of time, the experience on the professional stage, and all the Chinese chess knowledge went through Lin Fan’s mind.
His strength should not be limited to that.
He was still young, and his calculation ability was definitely not weaker than Wang Tianyi’s.
But why did he lose twice in a row?
If he lost another match, Lin Fan would lose three times in a row and Wang Tianyi would become the champion.
Lin Fan turned on his phone and saw that many celebrities from Jiaxing Entertainment had posted on Weibo.
Xia Wanqiu, Su Xiaoyu, Lin Kexin, Chu Yaoyao, Lin Jingjing, Su Muqing, Lin Qianwei, Tang Xinran, Pang Duoduo, Xu Yang, Lin Qingxuan…
All the celebrities were supporting Lin Fan.
Xia Wanqiu even posted a selfie and tagged Lin Fan.
[Lin Fan, you can do it ~ ~]
These simple words had endless power to support Lin Fan.
Lin Fan suddenly felt that he couldn’t lose in the finals.
Xia Wanqiu was behind him. How could he lose?
If he lost here, he would be indignant.
Lin Fan walked out and saw the audience.
“Lin Fan, you can do it!”
“Lin Fan, you can do it!!”
“Lin Fan, you can do it!!!”
Fans were all over the venue, holding signs with his name on them and cheering Lin Fan on.
Xia Wanqiu stood at the front and looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled and made up his mind.
Now, he was on the verge of defeat.
He could not lose another match.
Lin Fan looked up and his gaze became even more determined.
This time, he would use all the knowledge he had learned to fight Wang Tianyi!
Wang Tianyi, let’s fight!!!
