【Big news! Rui Zhao, the seventh-dan beauty and reigning Zhaojun in the Chinese Go world, successfully entered the challenger finals of the Chinese Go Masters Tournament! 】
[In the challenger final of the China Unlimited Title Tournament, a female chess player appeared for the first time! Big pink victory! 】
November 18th, Dongdu City, Dongdu Chess Academy.
After reading a piece of hot news that his chairman had just forwarded to him, Ichigo Takuya was a little surprised and confirmed to Yahiko Kobayashi in front of him:
“Uh, you mean...
"Let Zhaocang Dapan and I explain the game between Lei Qi and Rui Zhao tomorrow?!"
"Yes."
Kobayashi Yahiko nodded.
“But in my impression, aren’t there basically no live broadcasts of games without Chinese chess players?”
“This is true.”
Yahiko Kobayashi nodded unhurriedly and replied:
“But... you also saw it.
“This game of chess does not require any more publicity from us, the mainstream media has already captured it. We got to know the stunt behind it and reported it!
“Since Ni Jue, the reigning celebrity in China, underwent surgery due to illness, his competitive status has been far worse than before.
“No matter who wins this challenger final, it is very likely that he will win to the title, creating a new record in the history of Chinese Go - Lei Qi is because he is completely strong enough, while Rui Zhao is rumored to have mastered Ni Jue's arsenal of flying knives.
“Right now, it’s less than a year before next year’s China-Beijing Asian Games, and we need to fully warm up for it! And for such a highly anticipated battle that has received widespread attention from outside the circle, we must seize the opportunity to promote it! < br>
“You now hold the four titles of [Go Master], [Celebrity], [Honinbo] and [Tiangen], and you are also the world champion. You are the undoubted face of our Japanese Go. So I might still need to trouble you. "
"Ah, this is what it should be. You are serious. "
After listening to this long speech, Ichijo Takuya nodded, and at the same time secretly lamented Rui Zhao's strong influence.
However, he can completely understand it.
Just imagine, if a top-notch domestic female chess player could challenge for the title, it would cause a huge repercussions in the country!
As expected...if Rei-chan grows up in the future...
It should also attract the attention of domestic public opinion, right?
——Although she is not as beautiful as Rui Zhao.
But just when Takuya Ichigo’s thoughts were a little divergent, Yahiko Kobayashi added abruptly:
"By the way, Ichijo-kun, if Rui Zhao is really... uh...
"...Hey, forget it!
"It's too early to say this now!"
"...Eh?"
Ichijo was slightly stunned and couldn't help but ask:
"What do you want to say!
"Nothing, we'll talk about it later! ”
“But you have already said half of what you said! "
"The remaining half will be discussed later! ”
“…
"...Chairman!
"You make people care about being so secretive, okay? "
Ichijo Takuya rarely complained about the leader of his chess academy, but Kobayashi Yahiko still smiled and seemed to have no intention of confiding directly:
"No way! Some things are said too early and may not be appropriate.
“All I can say is...get ready!
"A celebrity."…
…
"Today...
"Why are there so many people here! ”
The time soon came to November 19th, the day of the challenger finals of the China Masters.
At 1:40 pm South Korean time, South Korean Chess Academy.
On this day, the largest chess lecture room in the chess academy was packed with people, and the situation was so large that even Kogamisaka, who had been in South Korea for more than half a year, was extremely surprised.
Today, Rei Uesaka came to the Chess Academy not for anything else, but to participate in the China Masters Challenger Final Discussion organized by the South Korean Chess Academy!
Originally, according to her idea, this was just a domestic competition in China. Logically speaking, it would be a great honor for the South Korean Chess Academy to hold a large-scale group discussion, and the number of participants should not be particularly large.
But as a result, Lee Jung-yeon, Seo Sang-hyang, Park Min-yeol, Ahn Myeong-kyo, Shin Ching-yoon, Moon Seong-jin... almost all the famous big guys in South Korea are here!
"Well, I can only say...
"South Korea also attaches great importance to Rui Zhao's clear advantage over the three ninth-level masters Huang Bonan, Sun Yi, and Ji Qiufu! "
Ichinose Airi on the side said in a deep voice:
"I heard that in China, the chess masters Ichijo and Haruna are also explaining the game today!
“This means that Ryu Se-hyun, the 9th-dan general, doesn’t like to participate in group discussions, otherwise I feel like he would do the same today... eh, wait a minute?!
"Rei-chan Rei-chan! Are those standing on the edge of the stage Ryu Se-hyun and Kim Woo-eun?!"
"Ah?!"
Uesaka Rei quickly looked towards the side of the podium and noticed something That's right!
The number one man and woman in the world today is now dressed up and waiting by the stage, looking like he is ready to go on stage to explain in person!
——Although, these two "first people" face certain controversies.
The source of the controversy happens to come from the two sides competing in the Challenger Finals of the China Masters.
In the last two world championships, the Spring Orchid Cup and the Tongge Cup, Lei Qi won the final championship.
Although Liu Shixian still maintains a considerable winning rate in the country, the overall performance is still difficult for Lei Qi to match.
The fact that China's new generation leader has won two championships in a row has naturally led people to start a long-awaited discussion of "who is the best in the world?"
As for Kim Woo-eun... let alone that!
Although Rui Zhao has not participated in any other women's competitions except the Zhaojun battle in the past year, her performance in the unrestricted competition is really outrageous!
One World Championship semi-final, one Masters Challenger Final, and one final Nongshim Cup!
With such strong results, Kim Woo-eun still continues her almost terrifying record of consecutive victories in the women's world championships, but her dominance of the women's chess world is still widely questioned, and she has no choice but to Not to mention that this is somewhat outrageous.
But, no matter what...
Liu Jin and Liu Jin are the strongest partners that South Korea can produce at the moment.
It can be seen how seriously the South Korean Chess Academy attaches importance to this game!
Soon, the two of them came on stage and greeted all their peers who came to participate in this seminar.
However, Master Liu still looks gentle and calm, while the Ice Queen is obviously a little serious.
Even more serious than her usual appearance of not liking to interact with people too much.
Seeing that the time was almost right, the two of them soon came on stage, and the more relaxed South Korean leader greeted everyone:
"Um... Good afternoon, colleagues! I am Liu Shixian.
"Today, Sister Youen and I will give you the commentary on the Challenger Finals of this China Masters.
“As for this chess game, in fact, after the semi-finals the day before yesterday, Sister Youen, I and several other chess players who have won the world championship in the chess academy have discussed it together.
< br>"Everyone agrees that this is likely to be the highest level chess game in China's domestic competitions in the past two years!
“Needless to say, Lei Qi has won two world championships in a row and is in charge of the domestic [chess master] [tianyuan] and [national player]. He is undoubtedly the number one person in China today!
"Although Rui Zhao's results have fluctuated in the past six months, she is obviously very well prepared for this competition. Along the way, she has been able to defeat many masters such as Huang Bonan, Sun Yi, Ji Qiufui, etc., and they have all been defeated by hundreds of hands. He established an absolute advantage before he could!
“Today’s game will be very fierce! And today I am very pleased to see that everyone is actively participating in this seminar!
"Now, let us look forward to the official start of the chess game!" (End of this chapter)
