When Lin Fan started the livestream, a large number of viewers quickly flooded in.
“6666666666!”
“I’m finally here to watch Brother Fan’s livestream. Ahhh, d*mn, I’ve already seen the news. Gossip is a professional player. He’s going to invite Brother Fan to play Chinese chess with him.”
“That’s right. A professional player’s Chinese chess skills are not comparable to ordinary people. Brother Fan’s winning streak won’t be broken, right?”
“There’s a possibility. It’s not embarrassing for Brother Fan to lose. After all, the other party is a professional Chinese chess player.”
“D*mn, Brother Fan is already very powerful. He’s already at 9-1. It’s very difficult to win against professional Chinese chess players. Even 9-3 players might not necessarily win against 9-1 players. Everyone at this rank is an expert.”
Lin Fan looked at the comments in the livestream and his expression became serious.
He knew that the professional Chinese chess player, Gossip, was very, very good.
However, if he wanted to reach Xia Wanqiu’s father’s level, he had to cross the professional threshold first.
Among professional Chinese chess players, there were strong and weak ones. Gossip could be considered someone that had just stepped into the professional Chinese chess world.
After entering the room, Lin Fan went first.
Lin Fan still chose the central cannon opening. Next, he shifted his horse diagonally from the second to the third column and shifted his pawns across the river. He chose to rapidly advance his pieces toward the center.
Rapid advancement towards the center was a very brave offensive strategy. If the opponent made a slight mistake, they would find a loophole and win this round.
......
When Gossip saw Lin Fan’s offensive posture, he smiled and said, “Lin Fan’s level and strength are very high. However, it seems that he doesn’t have much actual combat experience in Chinese chess. In that case, it’s not impossible to defeat him. As long as I fight steadily and find an opportunity, I might be able to defeat Lin Fan. I shall let Lin Fan experience the strength of a professional Chinese chess player.”
Immediately after, Gossip started setting up a true impenetrable defense.
Ten minutes passed.
Lin Fan and Gossip’s Chinese chess game entered a stalemate.
The last player who set up an impenetrable defence was Liu Xinyi.
However, Liu Xinyi’s defense had not reached the level of Gossip.
When playing against Gossip, Lin Fan felt like he was a hunter.
Gossip was very good at playing defensively in Chinese chess, and he would counterattack at any time.
As long as the attacker made a mistake, the attacker might become the disadvantaged party.
Fifteen minutes passed.
Both of Lin Fan’s chariots had been traded with Gossip’s.
Most of the other pieces had been traded away too.
Even every pawn had to be fought for. Every piece had to unleash its full power.
Lin Fan and Gossip were in a stalemate.
During the stalemate, Lin Fan had a slight advantage.
However, this slight advantage was not enough to win against Gossip.
“Is this… the strength of a professional player?” Lin Fan said, feeling some pressure.
He could feel that professional Chinese chess players were completely different from amateur Chinese chess players.
When ordinary players played Chinese chess, they would think three or four steps ahead before making their next move, or even seven or eight steps. This was how they operated.
Usually, this also included the ability to calculate. In one move, one could calculate the changes in the other pieces. One could even calculate if one had an advantage and how the opponent would deal with it.
As for professional players, during the midgame, when they made their next move, they could think of the changes ten steps ahead!
This was the powerful calculation ability of a professional player!
If one was not as good as the professional player, they would usually die in the professional player’s trap.
“Until now, there’s no way to completely win against Gossip. If this continues, there’s a high chance it’ll end in a draw,” Lin Fan said.
He had already used all his Chinese chess skills and everything he had learned. Even so, Lin Fan could feel the power of a professional player.
Now he seemed to have entered a whole new realm. All his Chinese chess knowledge was soaring.
On the other side, Gossip was also deeply shocked.
No wonder Lin Fan could obtain 140 consecutive victories.
“So Lin Fan is so strong… He was able to obtain 140 consecutive victories because of his strength.”
“My setup just now would have killed any amateur chess player. Only Lin Fan could dodge my attacks and counterattack.”
“Lin Fan’s strength is indeed extraordinary,” Gossip said.
“However, as a professional Chinese chess player, I can’t lose. Lin Fan, let’s fight!” Gossip said as he focused on this battle.
In this Chinese chess battle.
The tension was building.
Gossip was a professional player.
Lin Fan was an expert with 140 consecutive victories.
In his 141st win, Lin Fan encountered an incomparably powerful opponent.
There was no way out. He had to defeat Gossip to maintain his winning streak.
Not even a draw could be tolerated.
Therefore, Lin Fan had to defeat Gossip. He had to calculate better than Gossip.
Lin Fan would consider every move he made before making a decision.
So much so that every move was calculated to ten steps later, carrying out various changes and killing moves.
Finally… after 20 minutes, Lin Fan found a loophole!
He broke through in one fell swoop!
After finding the loophole, there was an earth-shattering defensive battle with Gossip.
By the twenty-eighth minute, only one of Gossip’s pieces was left.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan still had two pawns left. Just the two pawns.
But no matter what,
No matter how many pieces remained, the end result…
Lin Fan had won!!!
Lin Fan had obtained 141 consecutive victories!
At the top of the screen of the Chinese chess software, a full-screen announcement!
[Congratulations to Linfan for winning 141 consecutive victories and defeating Gossip!]
Lin Fan felt himself playing a round of Chinese chess to his heart’s content.
This was the charm of playing against a professional player. After 28 minutes of bitter battle, Lin Fan obtained a 141-win streak.
He was the final winner.
Now, he had successfully crossed the threshold of a professional Chinese chess player!
Lin Fan’s strength was equivalent to a true professional player!
The livestream was in an uproar.
“He won, He won!!”
“Brother Fan is awesome. No way. The other party is a professional Chinese chess player. Brother Fan actually won against a professional Chinese chess player!”
“Although Gossip isn’t the most powerful person among the professional Chinese chess players, Brother Fan’s strength is obvious!”
“Oh my god, 141 consecutive wins. Who else can stop Brother Fan? Who else?”
[Little Yue’er gave Lin Fan 20 super rockets!]
[Cute little fan gave Lin Fan ten super rockets!]
[Gossip gifted Lin Fan a super rocket!]
The fans in the livestream began to crazily give Lin Fan gifts.
The audience in the livestream was shocked.
The Chinese chess world was equally stunned.
Gossip’s group of experts, Gossip himself, the many Chinese chess experts, and even the entire Chinese chess forum were shocked.
Professional Chinese chess player Gossip had lost to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan had also set a historical record in the Chinese chess world!
141 consecutive wins!
Moreover… with Lin Fan’s current strength, even a professional Chinese chess player like Gossip could not stop him!
