A few days passed quickly...
At six o'clock in the evening on December 11th, in the game room of Kunchi Resort in Kyoto Road, South Korea.
The last game of the third round of this LIG Cup finals just ended not long ago.
The two leading chess players sitting next to the chess table, Liu Shixian and Lei Qi, both looked very calm at this time, as if the extremely fierce confrontation between them just now had never happened.
The two of them carefully studied every detail of the game they just played, completely ignoring the reporters not far away who had been allowed to start filming and started frantically taking photos of the two.
Finally, when all the parts that needed to be discussed had been basically explained, Lei Qi started to talk about things other than the chessboard:
"...Okay, Liu Jiuduan, let's stop here for the review. "
The Chinese chess master sighed lightly, his tone seemed very calm:
"In addition...
"Congratulations on winning this LIG Cup championship!
"This is your twelfth personal crown! A very remarkable achievement!"
Although he was still a little unwilling, Lei Qi had to admit that although the level of the two was very close, it was hard to say anything. , right now it is indeed Liu Shixian who is a little stronger.
This time, in the first game of the third game, he made an accidental move in the middle of the game, and Liu Shixian seized the opportunity to win first. In the second game, the two sides fought extremely hard. It was almost a stalemate from beginning to end. In the end, Lei Qi narrowly won with half an eye.
The third game of today’s final was almost a replica of the second game after the start.
However, in the official stage, Lei Qiqi missed a move, allowing Liu Shixian to seize the opportunity to take advantage and maintain it until the end, winning the third game in one glance and a half!
As a result, China's new generation leader's plan to announce the change of ownership of the artifact with "three consecutive world championships" came to nothing.
The first person in the world to succeed for nearly half a year, the challenger with great momentum picked up the knight in the LIG finals and continued his dominance of the world chess world!
...Sure enough...
The victory in the Spring Orchid Cup under Chinese rules cannot be regarded as the norm!
Lei Qi couldn't help but secretly say something in his heart.
"...Thank you."
Faced with his opponent's very graceful congratulations, Master Liu, who had been beaming with joy just now, finally showed his signature gentle smile, and began to collect the chess pieces while saying:
“You also played very well!
“In terms of mentality, I feel that you have matured a lot - I originally thought you would be very frustrated. "
"You are looking down on me too much, Liu Jiuduan. ”
Lei Qi also began to close the chess game, and counterattacked calmly:
"The future is mine after all... You will be twenty-six years old soon.
"Although, take After reaching this championship... you can already compete with Cui Chengshi Jiuda for second place in history.
"But if Liu Jiuduan wants to compete for the best in history... then I'm afraid you have no chance."
Anyone who hears these words will understand that although Xiaolei Jiuduan has a calm tone , but it still has a hint of sharpness, which can be regarded as a response to what Liu Shixian just said, "I thought you would be very depressed."
However, Liu Shixian still said with a smile:
"Well... maybe so.
"But twenty-six years old...is the best age for a chess player. No?
“For me, I still have the best year... that’s enough!
“It’s true that I can meet the best people in the best circumstances of my life. It is a very happy thing! ”
"...Hmm.
"Every time I play against you, Liu Jiuduan, I benefit a lot. "
Although he doesn't like Liu Shixian's playful attitude all the time, Lei Qi still responded with respect to his opponent's words.
But...< br>
At this time Liu Shixian was a little surprised
He blinked briskly a few times and said with slight surprise:
"...Huh? That..."
"Sun Jiuduan, didn't he say anything to you?" "
"Huh? What are you talking about? "
Seeing that Lei Qi really didn't know anything, Liu Shixian was startled for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and whispered softly:
"I said your maturity speed is a bit beyond my imagination...it turns out you don't know at all!"
"Huh?
"Know, what do you know? ! "
The look on Lei Qi's face became more and more confused. "Ah... you don't need to know. ”
Liu Shixian tried his best to suppress the curvature of the corners of his mouth, then closed the chess box he had just put away, stood up and said:
"I'll excuse you now! I also want to see the preliminaries of your Yi Xian Competition!< br>
“She...hasn’t played in a game for a while! "
"...TA? "
Hearing this nonsense, Lei Qi tilted his head first:
"Who are you talking about...
"...
"...???!!!"
…
…
Ah...what a pity...
Lei Qi 9th Dan, still lost...
At the same time, Deming City, China Greater Bay Area, Deming International Hotel - Yixian Competition was held land.
Rui Zhao, who had just finished the second round of preliminaries of the Yi Xian Tournament and was watching the game on his tablet in the players' rest area, couldn't help but sigh.
——Yes, although today is the final deciding game of the LIG Cup, the owner of the [Go Xiao Zhao] live broadcast room has no way to explain this most important game live today. He can only do his own Take a look after the game.
Due to the tight schedule at the end of the year, the qualifiers for the Yixian Tournament started today.
A certain anchor with seven million fans at Station B who has always firmly believed that his main job is to be a chess player, naturally cannot skip the preliminaries of the Yi Xian Tournament in order to broadcast the LIG Cup finals.
Although... now she is beginning to feel that the three qualifying rounds before the title battle are a bit boring and a waste of time - in the first two rounds, she met a first-dan and a third-dan, almost like a storm. The earth fell over.
But in order to participate in this competition, celebrity Zhaojun, who currently does not have enough level points, has no choice but to start from the qualifiers. At the same time, he secretly lamented that although the rank is useless, the level points are still very useful...
However, Rui Zhao, who had just watched Lei Qi's game, was a little confused for a while.
Although these three games of chess are indeed very exciting...
Lei Qi's ninth-dan state still seems not to be adjusted to the best...
Is it possible...
Sure enough, it is the same. Because I beat him with a throwing knife in the Masters...
Thinking of this, the silly leader of the Pohu team couldn't help but frown slightly again. This time, the mentality that Jiang had finally adjusted before the game showed some ripples...
However, at this moment, a penetrating cry from a young man came from a distance:
"Rui Zhao! So you are here!"
"Well ?”
Rui Zhao couldn’t help but look up when her name was called, only to see a rash and conspicuous little man running in front of her—who was it if it wasn’t Xiao Nie’s fourth paragraph!
“Nie Yunyi?!”
This time, Rui Zhao didn't dare to recognize anyone anymore, so he quickly put on a business smile and said hello:
"Hello, hello!"
"Hmph! Don't, don't come here Get close to me!"
Although he was a little out of breath after running wildly, Nie Yunyi still replied sternly:
"I'm here just to tell you:
< br>
"Sure enough... it was fate that guided us to meet - you should have seen the game of chess where I just killed Xue Zhenju!!
"Now... we should be able to meet in the group finals!
"Just wait! Tomorrow afternoon, I have to avenge the last time I was teased!!!"
"...Eh?!"
Finish listening Rui Zhao blinked his big eyes to understand these words for several seconds, and then he calmed down and asked tentatively:
"Then...that...you mean...
"So we are in the same group? "
"...What? ? ? ! "
The fourth section of Xiao Nie, who was still complacent at first, suddenly widened his eyes:
"Don't you even know this? ! ! ! "(End of Chapter)
