Chapter 102: To Gain Favor (2)

As for Han Seungwoo's car, although it is not as expensive as Lee Minho's sports car, it is indeed more comfortable to sit in.

The seats of Lee Minho's sports car are also specially customized, but the space of the sports car is a bit small.

Can't compare to those normal cars. So the overall feeling of sitting up is really not as good as Han Seungwoo's small car.

After Han Seungwoo sent Lee Minho to the competition, he didn't leave. He just dicided to wait outside.

About an hour later, Han Seungwoo's cell phone rang, and a call came.

Han Seungwoo picked up his phone and looked, it was Jiang Ruozhi calling.

Jiang Ruozhi's call this time was mainly to ask if there was any match between Han Seungwoo and Lee Minho.

After all, it was has already been found, and Han Seungwoo even went out in person. Jiang Ruozhi believes that Lee Minho will definitely agree to the match.

Unexpectedly, Han Seungwoo said that he had finished playing chess with Lee Minho.

-"Done? How much did you win?"

"Four and three quarters."

Although the game of chess was not over yet, Han Seungwoo had already reached the end.

Therefore, he knew that if he continued down to the end, he would lose four and three quarters.

So, he threw in the towel.

-"It seems that the opponent's strength is very strong, and they only lost so little."

Jiang Ruozhi thought that the winner was Han Seungwoo.

No, not thinking, but definitely.

Han solo is the God Of Chess, the number one player of chess in Colorado.

Although Lee Minho showed two tricks in succession, Jiang Ruozhi didn't think that Lee Minho could win Han Seungwoo.

"No, I'm the one who lose."

Han Seungwoo held his mobile phone and looked towards the window on the third floor of the sports building.

There, Lee Minho was competing on the third floor today.

The other side of the phone was went silent for a moment, Han Seungwoo then heard the sound of something breaking, and then there was the sound of tables and chairs being moved.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ruozhi's unbelievable voice came from the phone.

-"You lost?"

Jiang Ruozhi tightly grasped the phone, completely ignoring that the teacup in his hand was broken just now as the tea wetted his clothes.

All his attention was put on what Han Seungwoo said just now.

Han Seungwoo lost?

Just kidding, or else he must have auditory hallucinations. How could Han Seungwoo lose.

"Well, I lost."

Compared to Jiang Ruozhi's excitement and disbelief, Han Seungwoo was very calm on the contrary.

For Han Seungwoo, losing the chess game is not a strange thing.

Because Lee Minho is really strong.

After he hung up the phone, he stared intently at the glass on the third floor, although he couldn't see clearly because of the tinted glass.

But Han Seungwoo believed that with Lee Minho's strength, the game should be over soon.

At this time, Han Seungwoo was thinking about where to take Lee Minho for dinner later.

However, Jiang Ruozhi on the other side couldn't calm down at all.

Han Seungwoo's words, like boiling water, that kept boiling and tumbling in his heart.

'Han Seungwoo lost, he actually lost?'

If Han Seungwoo hadn't said it himself, Jiang Ruozhi would really think that he made a wrong call.

'That Lee Minho actually beat Han Seungwoo?'

It's just unbelievable.

Han Seungwoo is the Chess God, but Lee Minho actually won?

'How strong is Lee Minho's chess skills? Isn't that Lee Minho just an amateur chess player?'

Once this news spreads, the entire Chess World will be shaken.

No, this news must be told to his elder brother, Jiang Ruoxing.

Jiang Ruoxing is Jiang Ruozhi's elder brother, his talent is much higher than Jiang Ruozhi's.

He is one of the top grandmaster chess players in Colorado now, he is like Han Seungwoo, Jiang Ruoxing is also a chess enthusiast.

It can be said that almost all people in the professional chess world are chess enthusiast.

When Jiang Ruoxing received a call from his younger brother Jiang Ruozhi, his first feeling was that he didn't believe it.

-"What joke are you talking about? Didn't you wake up? Didn't I tell you that sleep is very important for a chess player, don't always stay up late. Look, and now I'm hallucinating."

"No, it's not a hallucination. Brother, what I said is true. It was Mr. Han Seungwoo who told me on the phone just now."

If he didn't hear it with his own ears, he is sure that Han Seungwoo is not the kind of person who can make jokes. Jiang Ruozhi himself would not believe it.

-"What you said is true?"

"Really, I can swear it."

After Jiang Ruoxing got an affirmative answer, his heart turned upside down.

In terms of understanding of Han Seungwoo's chess skills, Jiang Ruoxing can be said to have a much better understanding than Jiang Ruozhi.

After all, Jiang Ruoxing and Han Seungwoo have played chess several times.

For the first time, it was the when the new first stage competition.

At that time, Jiang Ruoxing was the international master level, and Han Seungwoo was at candidate master.

Jiang Ruoxing won.

The second time was the title stand, and Jiang Ruoxing also won.

The third time, it was still the title stand, and Jiang Ruoxing also won.

But after that, Jiang Ruoxing never won again.

In the following matches, Han Seungwoo kept widening the gap with him.

Especially in the chess battle three years ago, Jiang Ruoxing had deeply realized that the gap between himself and Han Seungwoo was very obvious.

At that time, Jiang Ruoxing lamented that Han Seungwoo might be the most talented chess player through the ages.

This idea was confirmed when Han Seungwoo won the Chess God Cup.

Han Seungwoo really became the number one player in chess.

Moreover, Han Seungwoo at that time was only 24 years old.

After three years, Han Seungwoo's strength must be stronger than three years ago.

Jiang Ruoxing believed that in the world of chess, there might be no one who could defeat Han Seungwoo.

The only one who can defeat Han Seungwoo may be Han Seungwoo himself.

Therefore, when he knew that his younger brother Jiang Ruozhi wanted to play chess with Han Seungwoo, Jiang Ruoxing felt that his younger brother was overreaching.

Playing chess with people who are not at the same level is not playing chess at all.

But now, Jiang Ruozhi told him that someone had defeated Han Seungwoo.

That person is still an amateur chess player, and very young, only 23 years old.

If he didn't know clearly that he was awake, it would be daytime now. You might even think you're dreaming.

Jiang Ruoxing also knew a little about Han Seungwoo's character.

If it wasn't for the title battle in three days' time, Jiang Ruoxing could not wait to fly back to the capital immediately.

But it doesn't matter, whether this matter is true or not, he will soon be able to confirm it with Han Seungwoo face to face.

Because in three days, it will be the celebrity title battle.

This title battle for 'Celebrity' was held in Shanghai, so Jiang Ruoxing flew to Shanghai in advance to familiarize himself with the environment.

Adjust your mentality.

Of course, more importantly, Han Seungwoo, who hadn't participated in the competition for three years, also signed up for the celebrity title competition this time.

This is not because Han Seungwoo wants to win the title, but because there are regulations in the preliminary round of the World Chess God Cup.

To participate in the World Chess God Cup preliminary competition, players must win the championship in any official Chess game in their country within three years.

This so-called regular game is an official game held by Colorado Chess, not those private games.

Just like the Colorado Cup this time, it was officially held.

As long as they win the Colorado Cup this time, they will have a ticket to participate in the preliminary round of the Chess Cup.

This admission ticket is not limited to professional chess players.

Which means that as long as they can win in any championship of regular competitions, even if they are professional chess players or amateur chess players, they can participate in the qualifiers of the World Chess Cup.

In addition to the high prize money, this is also the reason why many amateur chess players want to participate in the Colorado Chess Cup.

Of course, since the Colorado Cup was held, no amateur chess player has won the championship.

After all, the Colorado Cup has no conditions.

Many professional chess players will also participate. If those amateur chess players are really strong, they would have already participated in the fixed stage.

It is also impossible to be an amateur chess player.

Yes, basically, the champion of the Colorado Cup has been tacitly assumed that it will be won by a professional chess player.

Those amateur chess players are just going through the motions.

Of course, if there are realy good amateur chess players who can win the top 30 rankings, they will also have the opportunity to directly participate in the fixed-stage competition.

This time Lee Minho's opponent was actually a foreigner.

In fact, there are not many foreigners in Kyoto, and many foreigners signed up for the competition this time.

However, it was the first time for Lee Minho to play chess with foreigners.

Although the foreigner sitting opposite had a foreigner's face, he spoke very authentic Kyoto dialect.

When Lee Minho arrived, he chatted with him endlessly, and even wanted to add Lee Minho's number.

Lee Minho refused, he never give numbers from strangers, of course, Han Seungwoo was an exception.

He would never admit it, it was because Han Seungwoo looked better than the foreigner in front of him.

It's a pity that Bai Yan didn't play with him today.

But think about Bai Yan's deeply shocked look when he left yesterday.

Lee Minho felt that it would be good if he didn't compete with him, and if he defeated Bai Yan's idol in the competition.

And if Bai Yan see that, his mentality will probably be affected.

Although this foreigner loves to chatter, his chess skills are not bad.

However, after playing chess with Han Seungwoo, Lee Minho felt that this person's chess was still too weak.

There is no harm without comparison!

Han Seungwoo had said that he would wait for him downstairs. That's why Han Seungwoo couldn't be kept waiting.

So Lee Minho ended the game extremely quickly.

Then he went downstairs, got into Han Seungwoo's car, and went to have lunch together.
