Chapter 772 The Only Two Places


"...What?!

"[Yizhao Qiyi] is playing two-piece chess with [Jian Luan Anmin]?!"

At 8pm on June 1st, Chinese Go Association.

Shang Chaotian, who was working overtime in his office to deal with the publicity and aftermath of Rui Zhaolong's victory in the Star Wars national event, raised his eyebrows when he heard the news from his secretary Xiao Wei.

Shang Chaotian naturally knows about these two well-known IDs.

Needless to say, Rui Zhao's shining silver [Yizhao Qiyi].

And Ai Jianan has been the "executive deputy anchor" and "conscience boss" of [Go Xiaozhao] for a long time, and her Yiguo account [Jian Luan Anmin] can also be regarded as a well-known account in the circle. Shang Chaotian also knew.

"...Is it really fake?!

"Rui Zhao said she was going out to meet a friend tonight, but she ended up going out to play chess with Xiao Ai?!"

"Uh...I don't know the specific situation."

Secretary Xiao Wei, who just came in to report the news, said truthfully:

"But now in the game of chess, they are indeed playing a handicap game.

"It's just that they didn't watch the game, so everyone doesn't know the specific situation."

"Uh..."

Shang Chaotian's expression was really complicated at this time.

Although he felt that Rui Zhao had made so many contributions to Chinese Go, it was right for him to help with some things he didn't want to do - even this time he had the audacity to bother a big leader to help block some of the things he didn't want to do. An arrangement that’s not too unstoppable!

But she worked so hard that she and her manager sneaked out to play handicap? !

This, this, this...

But just when Shang Chaotian didn't know what expression to put on, Lu Wenjie, who was standing next to him, reacted first and said:

"Brother Tian, ​​I think the actual situation may not be like this.

"You know, Xiao Ai said he was talking about Ye 5, but he was originally a relatively popular person among Ye 5. He has been busy with his career in these years, and his level has probably declined again.

"Now even if Rui Zhao gives her four sons, I guess she won't be able to bear it! If she gives two sons, she will most likely be killed!

"I estimate that Rui Zhao and her friend may have made an appointment to play handicap, but the person thought that Rui Zhao was very popular and was afraid that using his own account would cause unnecessary trouble, so he borrowed Xiao Ai's account. ! ”

"This...is true."

After thinking for two seconds, Shang Chaotian also reacted:

"You know, this time in the Dragon Star battle, Rui Zhao just slaughtered half of Xiao Nie's chessboard!

"Although ultra-fast chess is good for the upper hand, but to slaughter Xiao Nie like this, this girl's ability to suppress the lower hand is indeed extraordinary!

"Anyone who can play with her, even if he is not a low-level professional, is probably an amateur king or a quasi-professional who can reach the upper level!

"This friend Rui Zhao... is so powerful!"

"Well, I should say Rui Zhao is the most powerful one!"

Lu Wenjie smiled and added:

"Three years ago, she was asked to play against Xiao Lei! But now, she has defeated Xiao Lei in the third chess final! And it was two dragon-slaying victories!

"This girl's progress... is so fast!"

But at this point, Lu Wenjie saw that Shang Chaotian's expression seemed slightly stiff, and he immediately asked his top leader as if he had realized something:

"Uh, Brother Tian...

"Xiao Lei, after playing these two games...are you doing well?"

It's not surprising that Lu Wenjie would ask this - since last year's Masters, China's new leader has indeed been in trouble for the past six months.

In the international arena, he had begun to compete with Ryu Se-hyun for the number one spot in the world. He was defeated continuously by Young Master Ryu who was at his peak. Not only did the opponent directly achieve the "three consecutive world championships", he was still in Nongshim. In the cup, one man once again succeeded in destroying a country, and he was suddenly knocked back to the position of challenger.

In the domestic competition, although he maintained his suppression of Sun Yi in the past six months, winning [Yixian] and defending [Tianyuan] continuously, he could not face the "competitor" he cared about most, but he watched the opponent lose. As a [Celebrity], he suffered two disastrous defeats in the finals of the Dragon Star Battle, achieving his opponent's "twelve consecutive victories in this competition" that shocked the world.

To say that Lei Qi has no psychological fluctuations, Lu Wenjie himself doesn’t believe it! Shang Chaotian paused when he heard the words, sighed softly and said:

"Although he seemed to have accepted all the interviews without any major incident,... I can feel that he must have been affected in some way.

"I also had a chat with him in the afternoon and explained to him that Rui Zhao is currently too good at controlling mistakes, so he has a great advantage in blitz chess games where there is a strong sense of comparing who can make fewer mistakes. .Tell him not to care.

"After all, for a game as fast as the Dragon Star Battle, there is only one Agama Cup in the country!"

"Then what did he say?"

"At the beginning... I still felt a bit shocked."

Shang Chaotian showed a helpless smile, with a sense of "there is really nothing we can do about this kid":

"However, after hearing about the format of this King of Kings tournament, I got more excited and planned to go directly to Shengjiang tomorrow to adapt to the environment and start training in advance!"

"Huh? Competition format?"

Lu Wenjie couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he quickly reacted:

"Ah, indeed...

"Xiao Lei failed in a fast chess competition like the Dragon Star Battle. It is understandable that he is holding back his energy and wants to regain his place in the slow chess competition.

"According to the format of this King of Kings match, the two of them may indeed have a lot of fights!"

This year's King of Kings Tournament will still be held in Shengjiang City, Zhejiang and Hangzhou Province. The specific time is scheduled to be held from June 9th to 15th after the first stage selection of the Asian Games.

And since Rui Zhao and Lei Qi, two chess players who have won championships in the past year, entered the Dragon Star Tournament finals, the list of contestants for this King of Kings Tournament has been completely determined - but because Lei Qi has won the championship in the past year. Due to Qi's dominant performance in the domestic arena, the number of players was actually a bit small. Specifically:

The champion of the Tongge Cup World Championship, the last King of Kings Championship, Pinghu Quick Chess Championship, and the Agama Cup, the holder of the four titles of [Chess Saint], [Tianyuan], [National Player] and [Yixian] - Lei Qi.

[Celebrity] Title holder and Dragon Star Battle Champion——Rui Zhao.

The domestic champion of Tongge Cup——Zhu Yuanjun.

Changqi Cup champion——Zhuang Zheng.

The total number of people is only four, not to mention compared with the regular eight people in the past, even compared with the six people that shrunk last year, it is insufficient.

However, although the number of people has shrunk greatly, the organizer Shengjiang City was not troubled at all. As soon as the Dragon Star semi-finals ended, a game plan was quickly determined and sent to the Chess Association:

A double-elimination knockout format will still be adopted, with the final winner's group champion and the loser group champion entering into a three-game chess match. After each game of the three games, the order of black and white is exchanged, and the winner of the winning group chooses to play black and white in the first game.

In this way, there are still five to six competition days in total, and the final champion also wins the championship after playing four to five games, which is still reasonable.

And more importantly, in this way, the champion and runner-up are likely to play one game first and then play a third game. Judging from the recent record, it is likely that Rui Zhao and Lei will reach the finals of the third game. No, it can be said that the number of games played has been fully reached!

The No. 1 player in the country launched a revenge battle against the popular celebrity Zhaojun after his defeat at Dragon Star, and it lasted three or four games!

This is a selling point just thinking about it!

So it's no wonder that despite the small number of participants this time, Shengjiang City still threw away this schedule plan without any hesitation.

It’s really good when the heat is high!

And Shengjiang can definitely say: This is not intentional to hype up the popularity - who knew that there were only so few champions in the country in the past year!

Lu Wenjie nodded to show understanding, but soon he seemed to realize something. After pondering for a while, he asked his top leader:

"But if you say so...Brother Tian.

"In those two games, we only have two places. What do you think...

"Rui Zhao, is there any hope for her?"

Shang Chaotian lowered his eyes when he heard this, and seemed not surprised at all by this question, and then calmly and simply confided:

"Yes."(End of Chapter)
