"Xiaoliu, congratulations on entering the finals of the GS Rapid Chess Competition!"
At 5:30 in the evening on May 6th, South Korea Chess Academy.
Zhao Libo, who was waiting outside a chess game room at the South Korean Chess Academy, saw the first person in the world walking out. He immediately stepped forward and said hello:
"Although in the past six months, you have There seem to be more crashes in domestic competitions, but I feel that your overall condition is better than before!"
"Ah... you just made a slight choice!"
Liu Shixian casually said humbly:
“After all, the informing company has invested heavily in organizing competitions for the development of the domestic Go industry. Naturally, I have to show my best in the most important competition!
“There are still three world championships to go before the battle between the world’s strongest chess players early next year, including the Tongge Cup, the Miaojia Bailing Cup and the LIG Cup, with the Asian Games in between.
“My idea is to try my best to win the Tongge Cup first, win my 15th crown and at the same time tie Choi Myung-ho’s long-standing record of four consecutive world championships.
“Next, at the Asian Games, I will win the Asian Games men’s individual gold medal that Senior Choi has never had before, and I will try to win another in the remaining two world championships, tying Senior Choi’s historical record of sixteen world championships!
"Strive to welcome the arrival of the world's strongest chess players on the grandest stage with the fullest honor and the highest attention!"
Hearing this, Zhao Libo nodded slightly and said with appreciation:
"Well...if we can do it all, it will definitely attract a lot of attention, and the informing company's products will also get a lot of exposure, which will definitely be very gratifying!
"Thank you for your hard work. , Xiaoliu! "
"Ah, it should be. ”
Ryu Se-hyun responded heartily with seven points of performance and three points: "I can't use the resources at home at all. Now this is all I can do for my country's Go."
Liu Shixian casually said modestly, “I wanted to look for you again” He had no reason to leave, but something suddenly occurred to him, and he couldn't help but ask Zhao Libo:
"But...Vice Chairman, why are you in the Chess Academy?"
"It stands to reason that you Shouldn't the Lakeside Cup be held at the Lotte Hotel? ”
“I couldn’t stand it anymore after watching half of it, so I quickly found an opportunity to sneak out.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand being roasted on the fire by a bunch of reporters after the game! "
When talking about this topic, Zhao Libo couldn't help but shake his head, and poured out his bitterness with Liu Shixian:
"Do you know how cruel that Rui Zhao is?
“With only thirty-three moves, a partial contact with Yingxuan reduced her white chess winning rate to single digits! Then she reluctantly escaped and gave Rui Zhao an excellent opportunity to pursue and kill, almost Kill wherever you go!
"Although Yingxuan was given the task of consuming Rui Zhao's energy as much as possible before the game, when the 135th move was played, not only two white pieces were dead, but the central chess shape was also fragmented, and the white piece on the right had three pieces. I will be swallowed by a whale at any time...
“The estimated eye gap given by the AI has reached fifty! We have reached the point where we can’t do anything without surrender! "
"Uh... didn't Sister Youen tell Yingxuan not to take the initiative to provoke Rui Zhao? "
Liu Shixian heard this and asked with a wry smile:
"Even in 2023, Rui Zhao's attack is not something that female chess players can provoke, let alone now... ”
"I asked before I left!"
Zhao Libo sighed again:
"But according to Youen, compared to Yingxuan, Rui Zhao's crushing is all-round.< br>
“If you mention one item, you have to mention it almost everywhere, which will put a lot of pressure on her. It is better to let her do whatever she wants...”
“This... That's true! ”
Liu Shixian thought for a while, and finally agreed with his first sister's statement with a wry smile.
However, at this time, Zhao Libo had not finished pouring out the bitter water, and said naggingly:
"Actually, it is just a disastrous defeat. What is even more outrageous about this game is that both sides are huge. The time difference!
"When the game reached 86 moves, Yingxuan had already entered the countdown. By the time the game was finished, Rui Zhaodu still had a full fifty left. Minutes of retention!
“It took her only ten minutes to kill Yingxuan!
"What's even more irritating is that I just glanced at the post-match interview. A reporter asked her why she played so fast. Did she think that Bian Yingxuan was only in the first stage, so she disrespected her opponent too much.
"In the end, she actually replied: She wasn't targeting anyone, she just wanted to..."
"...I just wanted to save more time to practice chess, right?" "
"...Eh? ”
Hearing Liu Shixian’s sudden words, Zhao Libo was slightly startled:
"How do you know this? Aren't you playing in the chess academy this afternoon?"
"Ah... I really know her very well!"
Liu Shixian smiled and answered:
“Do you think what I said in an interview at the closing ceremony after the Nongshim Cup in early March was just a joke?
“She usually has very high requirements for her own training. of.
"I guess the main reason why I quit all women's individual competitions was that I felt that women's competitions could not serve as training. Participating in such competitions was no different from sitting on the field. It would be better to find experts to practice against or use AI to play chess.
“Her level is completely beyond the scope of what a women’s chess game should be!
“If the Lakeside Cup hadn’t represented the country’s honor this time and it really conflicted with the Dragon Stars, I guess she would have had to play in the Lakeside Cup, let alone play ten sets!
Hearing this, Zhao Libo's expression was slightly distorted:
"You mean...
"She is chopping melons and vegetables on the lakeside cup this time...do you think it's troublesome for you?"
"...Yes."
Master Liu smiled and said: "So I think, If we and the Japanese female players are sensible, we shouldn’t feel any regret or loss, but...
“We should cherish this fight with the strongest female chess player in history. What a precious opportunity! ”
“…Huh?!”
…
…
“That’s great!!!”
“You are really good at chess. ! It’s simply a magical skill! ! !
"You are indeed my recommended Go idol (囲碁アイドル)!!!"
"Yesco...Aidulu?"
May 7th, 3 pm, Shoucheng Lotte Hotel Game Room.
Hearing the fifteen-year-old Japanese pioneer, Kanako Akiyama, who couldn’t wait to speak Japanese after playing chess, the confused Queen Zhao finally encountered the most troublesome moment since she stepped into the ring.
This...
What's going on?
Why did the Japanese chess player on the opposite side come over to me just after finishing the game, talking to himself?
If you don’t understand the language...shouldn’t you just make a few gestures with your hands and regard it as a review?
Just when Shi Zhaojun was so embarrassed that he wanted to throw away the few things he had learned in Japanese and hurriedly run away, Akiyama Erdan seemed to have come to his senses and hurriedly cut out a rather impressive mouthful. Huayu said:
“Ah, sorry, sorry! I was so excited! I forgot that you can’t understand Japanese!
"I have been your biggest fan since you finished the Nongshim Cup last year! Celebrity Rui Zhao! In order to promote you, I even learned a lot of Chinese!
"During the celebrity competition at the end of last year, I I'm just waiting in the Chess Courtyard to sign your autograph and talk to you! As a result, you have been surrounded by the media and failed to find an opportunity...
"Ah! What do you think of my Chinese speaking skills?"
"Ah...
"It's, not bad..."
"Really?! Then I'm really encouraged!"
After being praised by her idol, Akiyama Kanako's eyes lit up and she said with joy:
"That's right! Let's play this game. I’m so excited!
“Since you announced that you will no longer participate in women’s individual competitions, I was worried that I might not be able to play against you in an official competition in this life!
“I never expected that I could really compete with you in the Lakeside Cup this time! I’m so lucky!”
"Uh...
"It's just a game, it's not that exaggerated..."
Rui Zhao just wanted the Japanese youngster on the opposite side to calm down a little, but he didn't know that what Akiyama Kanako said next was called a One wave after another, he was stunned and said the words that were not too skillful very quickly:
"I just felt your chess move!" How to put it... I don't even know how to describe it!
“According to the words in your country’s martial arts novels, it seems to be called...what is it called?!
"Ah, yes! It's called 'Flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people'!
"Since the layout, I feel that you haven't used any special moves, you are just following the routine. Every move is different. Unremarkable.
“The only time I took the initiative was to eliminate the sunspots in the midsection, but then I abandoned the four sunspots that I had originally eliminated!
“This seems to be completely It's a inconsistent chess game, and there doesn't seem to be any powerful and subtle means in the overall situation.
"But just walking like this, I suddenly realized that I couldn't do it! Even... I didn't know when I would lose it! In the end I had to admit defeat!
"Although I know you are very, very powerful, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful!
"It's... it's a whole new level! "
"Yeah, it won't be the case..."
"Why not! I admire you so much! ”
Kanako’s eyes were so obsessed that they burst into starlight:
"I have decided! I will work hard to improve my chess skills like Li Jiang! I will join your Pohu team in the future. How about we play together in the future?
"Let's play together! Let’s become Go idols together! "
"...Huh? !
"Go idol?!"
"...No! Kanako! What is going on with you?!
"Why are you so close to Sister Rui Zhao?!"
"Ah, Rei-chan! Why did you come to the game room?!"
"Just in time, I was discussing with Sister Rui Zhao whether If you have the opportunity to play chess together, you also..."
"The quota for our Pohu team is already full! There is no place for you! "
"Eh?
"Are you so stingy?!"
