"In the tenth game of the 4th 'Hupan Cup' World Women's Go Team Championship that ended this afternoon, Rui Zhao, our country's pioneer and [Celebrity] [Zhaojun] title holder, finished in only one hour and eleven minutes. He quickly defeated Japanese team leader Rei Uesaka in the fourth dan, defeating all players from Japan and South Korea with an unprecedented ten-game winning streak, and won the Lakeside Cup for our country again
"Please read the detailed report below..."
……
Well...
News broadcast for two days in a row...and all of them were detailed reports? !
She truly deserves to be Queen Zhao! This row of noodles is so full!
Of course...
It would be better if you don’t face me in the qualifiers this time! ! !
May 17th, the day of the China Dragon Star Qualifiers.
Dajing City, Huaxia Chess Academy.
"Old Kuai" Kuai Liang, who had just entered the chess academy and was walking towards the chess room for the Dragon Star War qualifiers, looked at the news clips on station B and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At the same time...
I couldn't help but secretly say bad luck.
Kuai Liang is definitely a good player in China when it comes to fast chess. He dares to fight even against Lei Qi Sun Yi and Lin Ruixin!
For the Dragon Star Battle qualifiers under the blitz chess format of "no reserve time, 30 seconds countdown, and ten delays", when all the top players in the country are exempted from selection, it stands to reason that he has enough room for everyone. confidence.
The good thing is that since last year's Pinghu Fast Chess Tournament, Lao Kuai's performance in the slow chess arena has been poor, and latecomers such as Zeng Guangwen and Chu Jun have gradually gained ground, so that his rating has continued to decline recently. The level ranking actually dropped to a historical low of 23rd before the Dragon Star Battle qualifiers! If you take another half step back, you will not be able to participate in the Asian Games preliminaries, which only the top 23 in the grade can participate! (The top six will be directly selected for the second stage, and the 16th place from 7th to 22nd will participate in the first stage preliminaries first, but due to Lin Ruixin’s suspension, they will all be postponed one place)
Therefore, in this Dragon Star War, Kuai Liang, who returned to his comfort zone, could not afford to lose anything, but he never expected to run into the Zhaotian Queen who had just swept everything in the Lakeside Cup with a move in ten seconds!
Although in order to provide opportunities for outstanding rookies to participate, the competition rules of this year's Dragon Star Battle have been changed compared to the original ones. In addition to the original eight people who are exempted from selection, the "twenty-eight people with the highest level scores" will be selected to participate in the pre-selection. , changed to "the top 26 players and minor players are divided into the top two (if there are duplicates, the next one will be filled in)" to participate in the preselection.
However, the rules of the qualifiers have not changed, and they are still matched one by one according to the level points. Therefore, as early as before the Lakeside Cup, Kuai Liang, who was ranked 23rd in the rating, was basically determined to face the person ranked 24th in the rating - and now, the person ranked 24th in the rating is Rui Zhao!
After discovering this, Kuai Liang was really dumb and couldn't tell the story of his sufferings.
The reigning celebrity Zhaojun's rapid chess skills were something he experienced at last year's Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament. After a big fight between the two sides, Zhao Tianhou directly showed off her skills to her master in the fast chess arena where Kuai Liang was good at.
And after more than half a year, Rui Zhao seems to have improved his chess skills. Although he has not met the top players again in the fast chess format, Man Jiageng, Jin Youen and others are no longer enemies in front of them. If you say that Lao Kuai doesn't feel any pressure, that is definitely a lie!
But the good news is...
This time, Rui Zhao first played a full ten games in the Lakeside Cup and then had a hard time traveling all the way before participating in the Dragon Star Battle qualifiers.
Such a tight schedule may leave her in poor condition.
As long as he kills the Zhaotian Queen, Kuai Liang thinks that he can be a dragon in the sea. He can look forward to getting good results in this competition!
“...At the press conference after the game, Rui Zhao also expressed to the public through the Chinese Chess Association his intention to further focus on the unrestricted arena and strive to achieve greater success in unrestricted international events such as the Nongshim Cup. In principle, she will not participate in other international women's team competitions except the Asian Games, so this participation will probably be her last participation in the Lakeside Cup.
"But in order to commend and commemorate the great record Rui Zhao just set, the Lakeside Cup official also officially announced after the game that the tournament winning streak award will be officially named the 'Zhao Ming Award', in order to encourage female chess players to participate in the women's team championship in the future. Learn from Rui Zhao, strive to be the first, and become famous in the world! ”
Uh...
As a result, the Lakeside Cup finally gave out a "famous award". After replacing her, there will be no more "crazy kids"?
This is really "restraining Shi Yanran"!
After watching the last paragraph of the sliced news from Station B, Kuai Liang, who had already arrived at the door of the game room, put his mobile phone in the storage area, then took a deep breath and entered the arena with his head held high.
As expected: Zhaojun of the current generation had already arrived at the arena before him - arriving as soon as possible after the arena opened. This was Rui Zhao's habit.
However, what made Kuai Liang feel that something serious was wrong:
Celebrity Zhaojun, who hurried back to Daegong City from the capital city of South Korea last night, did not seem to be tired at all at this time, but looked eager to try!
Even when he saw Kuai Liang arriving, he greeted him very actively:
“Kuai Jiuduan, I’ve been waiting for you!
"I played ten women's matches in a row in South Korea, and it almost bored me!"
When Kuai Liang heard this, the muscles on his face twitched:
"Boring, boring?"
"That's right!"
Rui Zhao blinked his smart eyes, as if a young girl who had been locked up at home for half a month finally came out to get some air and play:
"You don't know how boring it is to play in a women's competition!
"If I hadn't taken into account the national honor and the opportunity to participate in the Dragon Star Battle, I wouldn't want to go!
"However, if I can meet you directly in the qualifiers this time, Kuai Jiuduan, it is not in vain for me to suffer this punishment!
"I hope I can play a wonderful game today!"
"Uh...
"...Hmm."
At this time, although Kuai Liang couldn't see his expression.
But he knew that there must be some twists and turns. …
…
"Well...
"These two are really reckless."
At 2:20 pm on the same day, in the official live broadcast room of the Huaxia Chess Academy.
Song Jin Erduan, who has been responsible for commentating various competitions all year round, looked at the current situation on the board and couldn't help but sigh:
"Now I've played 56 moves, and even a delay on both sides has no effect! It's like trying your best!
“It’s less than twenty minutes until the game starts!
"Today's game... shouldn't be over in an hour?!"
"Kuailiang has always been like this!"
Xie Minghe, who was specially invited to commentate on the Dragon Star War, explained:
"Except when the amount of straight-line calculations explodes, he always plays chess based on his first instinct. This is one of his habits..."
"Well, I understand that too."
Song Jin responded:
"But forget it about Kuai Liang...what's going on with Rui Zhao?!
"Although she is also known for her ability in fast chess, she has always been very calm. She doesn't insist on playing so fast even when it takes time!"
"Perhaps because you are used to playing in the Lakeside Cup, you consider Kuai Liang a female chess player?"
Xie Minghe, who has always been elegant and easy-going, raised his eyebrows, made a little joke, and then brought the topic back:
"Ahem, just kidding!
"To be objective, Xiao Song, it's actually because Rui Zhao hasn't met a place where time is absolutely necessary!
"This is just a sense of chess competition... Kuai Liang is obviously a bit incomparable - otherwise the winning rate would not be 28 to 80 now."
"Uh..."
Song Jin glanced at the 19.2% winning rate of black on the big screen and finally nodded.
56 moves of chess generally belong to the stage where the layout has just been finalized. Logically speaking, the gap between the two sides should not be too big.
But being able to gain a clear advantage at this time really shows that Rui Zhao's chess sense clearly has the upper hand in this fast chess match!
At this moment, the two sides completed another round of confrontation.
In the 57th move, Black moved first, aiming to make the first move, while Rui Zhao was calm and steady, so he was bound to succeed.
This move seems to be an important double move by Black, but who knows that the AI's evaluation is that Rui Zhao scored!
White's winning rate further increased to 83.3%, and here Black lost half an eye again!
"...Just like the exchange of these two moves just now! In fact, the problem can be seen very clearly."
Xie Minghe, who had just discussed this part with Song Jin, said:
“This chess move seems to be a cheap one for Black, but after White’s 58 is played, the breakpoints that still have some residual flavor on the outside are completely filled up. White’s external strength is strong and its potential is greatly increased.
"The reason why Rui Zhao didn't kill the first blow in his 52nd move just now, but just flew away, was that he felt that it was not cheap. In the end, Kuai Liang failed to notice this.
"Actually, we can't blame Kuai Liang - it's normal for such omissions to occur in a 30-second move. The key is that Rui Zhao's sense of chess and quick judgment of small details are really amazing!
< br>
"Black can't say which move is a serious evil move, but Rui Zhao keeps pulling out all the little details!
"This is just the layout stage now. I guess this situation will be more obvious when we enter the mid-game battle!
"In the blitz chess format, my chess feel is actually better than Kuai Liang...
"This girl is really amazing!"
Xie Minghe had just finished his admiration when he saw that the black chess piece on the board had made a new move.
It was probably because he quickly discovered that he had suffered a bit of a loss from the series of exchanges on the upper right, so he hurriedly came to the bottom and jumped up, starting to grab the big crowd!
But Rui Zhao seemed to have been prepared for this.
After a single exchange of moves on the lower left, in the 62nd move, the current Zhaojun directly showed his sword and penetrated into the formation below the black chess piece! (End of chapter)
