"Hello, Liu Jiuduan! Thank you for accepting our interview.
"First of all, congratulations on winning the runner-up of this Tongge Cup! This is a very outstanding result!
"But... for you, who aims to be the best in history, is it a bit regretful that you failed to achieve four consecutive World Championships like Choi Minghao?"
"No," Regret...that is naturally fake!
"I feel very guilty that I have failed the expectations of the chess academy and chess fans this time. ”
"Ah... In fact, it has been a very amazing achievement to win three championships and one AFC in the past year and seven consecutive wins to finish the Nongxin Cup.
"But this final, facing the final, Sun Yi, who has been steadily suppressed, lost in the game. Is it a bit of a lax factor?
"To be fair, I was indeed a little relaxed after the semi-finals, because I judged that the main threats that could pose to me this time were Lei Qi and Rui Zhao.
"It was also due to the same The reason, so the focus of my research preparation is on both of them. Sun Yi, who is very strong but has not won me for six or seven years, is a little bit unaware of it, and only treats it as an ordinary chess player, but ends up tasting bitter fruit...
"Ah, this is not an excuse. Sun Yi, he is aware of it. Jiudan showed my psychological quality and spiritual attributes that I admired very much in this competition. He was extremely decisive in the face of my nominal "hard hands".
"Actually, I have paid the highest attention to the final decisive game, but I still couldn't win it and couldn't find any excuses to be careless.
"And from Sun Yi Jiudan, I also learned it. It's a lot.
"I will try to make myself better and make better performance in the next Miaojia Bailing Cup."
"Okay, the last question...
"It's about Rui Zhao's Jiudan.
"At the award ceremony of this year's Tongge Cup, Sun Yijiu Duan, who has become the world champion, threw his bouquet to his junior sister Rui Zhao, and this scene was also recorded by many media present, becoming the current edition of the year The most classic photo of Ge Cup.
"In just one day after that, Go fans all over the world have begun to discuss whether Rui Zhao Jiudan can become the world's first female world champion?
"And what do you think about this topic, Liu Jiuduan, who highly praised Rui Zhao Jiuduan after the end of the Nongxin Cup at the beginning of this year?"
"... She will undoubtedly win the world championship. "She is one of the two best chess players born after '05', and it has proved that there is no way for women's chess players to be too talented and men. With an obvious gap, it is only a matter of time before we win the World Championship.
"But... it shouldn't be that fast!"
"No... that fast?"
"Yes.
"This time I just finished Sun Yi Jiudan The stepping stone to become a world champion. If she could win the championship so quickly, wouldn’t I be embarrassed?
"At least... she won't get what she wants in the past year."
"Ah... I can see that Liu Jiuduan, you are still very confident! "I wish you will continue to achieve good results in future competitions! Be the undisputed best in history as soon as possible! ”
“Thank you again for accepting our interview! ”
“You’re welcome! ”
At 4:00 p.m. on July 11, South Korea Injiang Airport.
After bowing his head slightly and returning the gift, Liu Shixian, who had just returned home, had just arrived at the interview with media reporters in the country, ended the interview, and then caught up with the steps of others traveling ahead and continued to walk outside the airport.
In this World Championship, when Liu Shixian escaped the strong pursuit of the Chinese celebrity Zhaojun in the semi-finals, and Lei Qi failed in the semi-finals, the entire South Korean chess world was There was a burst of cheers.
Almost everyone feels that facing Sun Yi, who has always been the top of Young Master Liu, the four consecutive championships in the World Championships in the World No. 1 is a foregone conclusion.
A lot of South Korean chess fans are even looking forward to Liu Shixian winning the five consecutive World Championships in the Miaojia Bailing Cup in September, and tying the best Cui Minghao in history with 16 World Championships. Historical record!
But in the end, this result...it really made the entire South Korean chess world a little low morale, so that the reporters who came to interview just asked a few simple questions.
At this time, the vice chairman of the South Korean Chess Academy who led the team looked sideways and looked at his first person in the family, and said: "...Sorry, Xiao Liu." "Maybe he gave it to you recently You are under too much pressure,"
"...It's okay too!"
Liu Shixian was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile:
"Just as I said in an interview, Sun Yi showed the level and big heart of the top chess player. "I... will also learn from it and become a better self. "
Zhao Libo nodded, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he relaxed his tone and sighed with a little emotion: "But the great blessing in misfortune, this time It was Sun Yi who won the championship!
"In this case, Rui Zhao basically has no chance to participate in the world's strongest chess competition! I can be considered relieved!"
Hearing this, Liu Shixian couldn't help but stop and paused for a second before taking another step.
Indeed.
As Zhao Libo said, Sun Yi won the Tongge Cup and won a prize of up to 1.8 million yuan!
This year, he won more than 2.5 million yuan this year, ranking among the top two in the China Fault along with Lei Qi!
Although Rui Zhao ranks third now, the total bonus is less than one million!
Rui Zhao's only chance in the future is basically to win a world championship in the Miao Bailing Cup or LIG Cup to have the chance to recover... But it's not easy!
Liu Lei and the other two were full of attention and research on this celebrity Zhaojun, and even Sun Yi, who had just won the World Championship, was in good condition!
I want to grab a World Championship in these three people to get the ticket to the world's strongest chess war... It's better to point to the organizer and issue wild card!
After brewing a little more words, Liu Shixian asked suddenly: "Then... Vice Chairman.
"Is there any news about the preliminary candidates for wildcards now?" Zhao Libo glanced at his young master who has always been humble and polite and treated people very well, and finally decided to tell the truth:
"Actually, it has been confirmed...
"It's Uesaka Riki. ”
”…State 5 of Upper Saka? ”
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Liu Shixian frowned slightly in a rare way.
"...Yeah."
Liu Shixian's doubt was also in the expectation of Zhao Libo, and he immediately explained:
"About where this wild card was given, I have previously I have studied it with the Chairman.
"First of all, it is not suitable for China or ourselves. If we give it to China, China's top three are too strong now, and it will be a headache for anyone to put in. But we have to give it to ourselves. We have to take up four of the eight people in a cycle. Even the organizer is not very good in terms of fairness, and is afraid of affecting the authority of the event. "The more suitable choice is actually Japan and Europe and America, while the overall level of European and American and Pan-Asian chess players is not If you are high, you will probably affect the competition evaluation, so you will eventually decide to choose a Japanese chess player.
"Among the Japanese chess player except Takuya, Uesaka Riki is now half his own person, and he is also deeply loved by his own people. His popularity in Japan is not inferior to that in Japan!
"When Rui Zhao is likely to be unable to participate in the competition, his attention and commerciality of the event are also a great guarantee. "
"But Kazusaka's strength is still a little weaker, right?
"Is this wild card given to Uenaka instead of Ueno or Hitofuji, won't Japan have any objections?"
"Ah... Actually, we were a little worried at the beginning."
>Hearing this, Zhao Libo couldn't help but smile and said:
"But when we informed the preliminary candidate to the Japanese Chess Academy, they directly gave a sentence:
"'Please make sure to let No one else has to consider the competition when Upper Saka No. 5!
"'When the wild card is announced to the public, we will express our public support for this as soon as possible! Please!'"
"..."
Hearing this, Liu Shixian couldn't help but remain silent. , then laughed helplessly.
This is like this...
It seems that Japan is doing everything in order to continue the Go in our country!
But... so!
They also have a "genius girl who meets once in four hundred years", so they naturally have to do their best to cherish and train them!
And we...
It may be the only one who can be!
"...Okay, I understand!"
Thinking of this, Liu Shixian pursed his lips and then expressed his opinion to Zhao Libo: "Don't worry, as I said in an interview just now. "No matter how long as I was," he said. Which chess players are participating in the competition...
"I will not let the world's strongest chess player be lost!" (This chapter ends)
