Chapter 91: Han Seungwoo (2)

Lee Minho thought about, playing a round with Han Seungwoo, and then defeat him. Let him never forget himself for the rest of his life.

The problem is, Lee Minho has no confidence in his current chess skills!

That is the contemporary Chess God.

If Grandmaster represent the highest rank in Chess, then Han Seungwoo's rank is likely to have reached the so-called master level of the system. That is the peak of Grandmaster.

Having won against the professional chess player Fang Wen before, Lee Minho probably knew that his level had reached the level of a professional chess player.

But Fang Wen is just a chess player at the beginning of his career. Just because he can win Fang Wen doesn't mean he can win against other professional chess players.

Besides, he is still the most powerful among professional chess players.

So, after thinking about it, now is not the best time to play chess with Han Seungwoo.

Moreover, Lee Minho can only be regarded as an amateur chess player at best. While Han Seungwoo is a master of chess, how could he easily play chess with him.

Only by winning the Chess Cup, may they be able to play against Han Seungwoo. So, let's try to improve our chess skills now.

Now that he knew Han Seungwoo's identity, it would be easier to find him in the future.

Thinking of this, Lee Minho's footsteps became cheerful.

After signing in at the door, Lee Minho walked in happily.

Sure enough, it was found that the crowd in the hall on the first floor was raging.

All of them blushed and squeezed forward excitedly.

Lee Minho wanted to see Han Seungwoo, but there were too many people, even if he stood on tiptoe, he couldn't see him.

In the end, he could only regretfully go to the stairs.

His playing field today is on the third floor, and he has to wait for the elevator, so he might as well take the stairs.

Han Seungwoo never expected that he would be able to find that person by waiting on the first floor.

As a result, he was recognized by those contestants, and more and more people surrounded him.

Those two people from the Kyoto Chess Association couldn't stop so many people at all.

Because there were too many people, when Lee Minho entered the door, he couldn't see it at all.

It wasn't until Jiang Ruozhi on the other side heard the news that he rushed over to forcefully separate the surrounding contestants.

However, those contestants finally saw Han Seungwoo, so how could they leave so easily.

Everyone hoped that Han Seungwoo could see and remember them. If it is possible to get Han Seungwoo's signature, or even his mobile phone number, that would be even more perfect.

Therefore, despite Jiang Ruozhi's persuasion, the surrounding contestants refused to leave.

In the end, when they saw the mess at the scene, the competition staff rushed over and asked Jiang Ruozhi to ask Han Seungwoo to leave the scene first.

Otherwise, if this continues, it will definitely affect the game.

There was no other way, Han Seungwoo could only leave with Jiang Ruozhi in the end.

After Han Seungwoo, Jiang Ruozhi and others left, there were less than ten minutes before the game.

The surrounding contestants had no choice but to rush upstairs to their respective competition venues.

Although Han Seungwoo and Jiang Ruozhi left, he was very unwilling.

But because of his problem, it has already affected the game, so he must not be able to go to the Sports Center Building anymore.

Therefore, Han Seungwoo could only tell Jiang Ruozhi and the others to find that person.

Lee Minho didn't know at all that Han Seungwoo was waiting for him on the first floor.

After entering the arena, he found that he was actually on the same arena as Bai Yan again.

'I don't know what kind of fate this is.'

One of them tied his left hand, the other tied his right hand, and there were two tables in the middle, looking at each other.

However, this time, Bai Yan did not show disdain for Lee Minho like a proud warrior like last time.

Instead, the eyes looking at Lee Minho were full of complexity. It seemed that he wanted to ask something, but he was hesitant.

Seeing this, Lee Minho was puzzled by him.

But he didn't think too much, instead he stared at the timer on the table.

In the game of chess, the timer is placed on the right side of the white chess.

In normal times, it doesn't matter which side the timer is placed on, it doesn't matter to Lee Minho either.

But this is round five and it's a time trial.

His right hand was injured, and once he used white chess. Then you can only play chess with your left hand, and press the timer with your left hand.

In this way, under the same conditions, every move of his chess, from playing chess to pressing the timer. It will be two to three seconds slower than the opponent.

This is a fatal number.

If you use black chess, it will slow down by 1 second at most.

Bai Yan who was sitting in front of Lee Minho also noticed this problem.

Because he injured his left hand, once he used black chess, he would encounter the same problem as Lee Minho.

Therefore, at this moment, Bai Yan also frowned.

Lee Minho's opponent this time is a male amateur chess player in his thirties.

After he sat down, he saw Lee Minho's right hand was tied, and said with some sympathy.

"You hurt your arm, which is not good for your game! But even if it is like this, I will not show mercy."

If it were normal, he might be more courteous. But, this is a gamne.

"Of course."

Lee Minho never thought of making others courteous to him.

The game has officially begun.

The two sides guess first to decide who will hold the black chess and who will hold the white chess.

Bai Yan was lucky to get the black chess.

But Lee Minho guessed wrong, and got the white chess.

The chess player sitting opposite to Lee Minho could only say sorry.

Lee Minho also had a look of helplessness on his face, he never thought that his luck would be so bad.

It seems that in this competition, we can only use full firepower to shorten the time as much as possible.

After coming to the fifth round, the level of all the contestants has jumped to another level.

From getting the master card to now, Lee Minho has not tried his best to play a game of chess with anyone other than the old man.

Therefore, when he was full of energy, the chess player on the opposite side was sweating profusely, making him doubt life.

When it was only forty moves, the opponent's chess player couldn't help but concede defeat.

Lee Minho immediately pressed the timer and looked at the time.

'Very good, took less than 10 minutes.'

Fortunately, this time, the opponent is not strong. Otherwise, it may take twice as long.

Lee Minho raised his hand and walked over refereeingly.

The referee couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Lee Minho took less than ten minutes.

Immediately record Lee Minho's results.

Others in the arena were astonished when they saw the referee start recording the scores.

Game over so soon?

Bai Yan also looked at Lee Minho in surprise, he didn't expect him to win the competition so quickly.

This is the fifth game, and the players who can come to this game are not weak.

Lee Minho was able to win the game so quickly, so his strength is really strong!

Thinking of what happened yesterday. Bai Yan couldn't help gritting his teeth.

'No, I want to play chess with himn personally to see if he is qualified to play chess with Chess God.'

Some people may think that the time trial rule is a bit unfair. After all, the contestants opponents are randomly selected.

If you encounter a strong opponent, it will definitely take more time.

And the competition he doesn't care whether your opponent is strong or not, it is ranked according to time anyway.

However, this is several rounds of competition, and it is impossible to encounter very strong opponents in every round.

When you meet, others will too.

Of course, if after so many rounds of competitions, they met such a strong opponent, then they could only consider themselves unlucky.

From the fifth round to the twelfth round, the time spent in these eight rounds is added.

Only the top 65 players with the least time will be eligible to compete with 235 domestic and foreign professional players for the championship of the Chess Cup.

The first four rounds were actually just a simple knockout match, eliminating those contestants was easy for Lee Minho.

So, the real game starts from the fifth round.

When Lee Minho finished the game and went down to the lobby on the first floor.

A staff member of the Chess Association who had been guarding the lobby saw Lee Minho and immediately told Jiang Ruozhi on the wallkie-talkie.

Then go forward and stop Lee Minho.

Lee Minho was about to walk towards the door, but a staff member in uniform stopped him.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Lee Minho wondered why the staff member stopped him suddenly.

The staff asked excitedly.

"Excuse me, are you Lee Minho?."

"I am." Lee Minho nodded.

"Great, I finally found you."

The staff member was very excited.

"Can you please wait a moment, the president of our Chess Association is looking for you. He will come soon."

"Looking for me? Is there something wrong?"

Lee Minho wondered, why did the president of the Chess Association ask for him?

'I don't seem to know the president of the Chess Association!'

The staff didn't explain, just said.

"Please wait a moment, the president will be here soon."

Lee Minho waited for less than five minutes before seeing Jiang Ruozhi.

As soon as Jiang Ruozhi received the news, he hurried over here.

After all, Jiang Ruozhi was in his forties, and his body was not as good as before.

As soon as he saw Lee Minho, he looked at him up and down.

After confirming that it is the person they are looking for. Immediately gasping for breath, he said excitedly.

"Huu, I finally found you. Hello, I am the president of the Kyoto Chess Association, Jiang Ruozhi. Could you please come with us, there is someone who wants to see you."

'Who wants to see me? How could he even send the president of the Chess Association to invite him? Made such a big commotion?'

If it had been someone else, he would have followed the president of the Chess Association with a look of fear on his face.

But Lee Minho was not and directly refused.

"Sorry, I still have something to do, I have to go first. I may not be able to meet someone with you."

He has already promised Kang Taehyun and they agreed to meet with his father.

Hearing that Lee Minho rejected him, Jiang Ruozhi became anxious, and quickly said.

"Mr. Lee, don't worry, we really have no malicious intentions. It's just that there is someone who wants to meet you and play a game of chess with you."

"Play chess?"

Lee Minho raised his eyebrows and said.

"The man asked me to play chess, and asked me to come to the door in person. It's really big enough."

He don't know if it's because he has been spoiled by the system recently, but Lee Minho has gradually recovered some of his previous bad temper.

This person asked him to play chess, and he also want him to go to the door, what a joke.

Moreover, he found so many people to intercept him, and he knew that they were people from the Chess Association.

Lee Minho was not used to those people's bad habits.

"If that person really wants to play chess with me, let him come to me in person. My time is precious, and I don't want to waste it on unnecessary people."

After finishing speaking, Lee Minho walked out directly to the gate.

"Wait!"

Jiang Ruozhi immediately chased after him.

"If you knew his identity, you would definitely go. He is..."

Before Jiang Ruozhi finished speaking, Lee Minho interrupted him.

Lee Minho turned around, said with a downcast face.

"No matter who he is, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to play chess, that's fine. Let him come to me in person."

Seeing that Lee Minho seemed a little angry, Jiang Ruozhi had no choice but to agree.

"Then please leave your contact information."

"I'll give you my phone number."

After leaving his cell phone number, Lee Minho didn't bother to talk nonsense with Jiang Ruozhi, so he just left.

To be honest, Lee Minho was a little angry.

What kind of person is this? If you want to ask him to play chess, you won't come by yourself. It's too big a deal to let someone else come.

What did that man think of Lee Minho, if he wanted him to go, he would go?

Lee Minho is also a person with a temper.

It's just very strange, why would someone come to him to play chess?

The person who can get the president of the Chess Association to come over is definitely not a simple person.

Lee Minho felt that playing chess might be just an excuse, and he was afraid that the real thing was to make trouble for him.

He is not stupid to just followed others alone.

'It seems that you really need to find a bodyguard.'

He is now a person with billions of savings, and the money has not been spent yet. But he can't just hang it up like this.

Even if you pick it up again, you have to protect your own life.

Well, after going to Kang Taehyun's house for lunch, he will discuss with the system to see if he can get a bodyguard.
