Chapter 181 Women's Ninth Dan
"Zhaozhao! You performed so well today, your parents are so proud of you!
"I plan to take two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will go directly to the school in the morning Feirongcheng cheers you on! I'll book a flight after I finish the phone call! ”
At seven o’clock in the evening on July 22, Yongle Silver Beach Hotel, in Rui Zhao’s room.
On the other end of the phone, Rui Guoquan’s voice sounded extremely excited, and he felt like he could not wait to arrive immediately. Daughter's side.
Originally, Rui Guoquan wanted to take time off to spend time with his daughter during this Wu Yue Cup.
But on the one hand, my daughter persisted in persuading me, and on the other hand, I just asked for leave at the beginning of the month, and it is really not good to ask for it now.
But today Rui Zhao made three strikes, five divided by two, and easily defeated Fujisawa Mari in just half an hour. During the official media interview after the game, various media groups surrounded the new junior player, with the same attitude towards a big star. How could this not make Rui Guoquan excited?
“No, no, no!”
Rui Zhao quickly rejected his father.
"Dad, I have a lot of competitions in the future. After the Wuyue Cup, I have to go to Zhongyuan Province to participate in the qualifiers of the national championship!
"If there is a competition, you can come and watch it. How can that be done! "
"Uh..."
This time Rui Guoquan was silent.
Because he has long felt that his daughter is a pure vase with only a skin, so Every time his daughter has some new achievements, Rui Guoquan is always eager to experience and share them immediately
But now that Rui Zhao said this, he realized that he seemed to have to adapt to this "new normal".
"Okay, Zhaozhao, stay strong in Rongcheng. Your parents will always support you!
"Don't feel any pressure in the next round. It doesn't matter whether the top four are not the top four. Just show off!
"No matter you win or lose, dad will take you to buy clothes and bags when you come back!"
"Yeah! But there is no need to buy clothes and bags..."
Rui Zhao is not very sensitive about shopping now.
After talking to his parents on the phone, Rui Zhao looked at Ai Jian'an who was operating a small camera and asked softly:
"Sister An'an, I'm going to train."< br>
“Well, okay!”
Ai Jianan simply answered:
"Well, don't worry, the conversation you just had with your uncle and aunt will be muted in the vlog."
The girl said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, it's not a big deal. You can just play it directly.
"When I'm practicing chess, you can take pictures if you want. I won't be disturbed. Just try not to talk to me." ”
Ai Jianan pursed her lips and didn’t know whether to nod or not.
Regarding the follow-up live broadcast and video materials, she had a brief chat with Rui Zhao before getting on the plane yesterday.
She very carefully raised an idea: in the future, live broadcasts can mainly focus on playing and talking about chess, but accordingly, can she be allowed to follow and film some daily life content.
The reason why I mention this is because if you only live broadcast Go, the content of the live broadcast will be too monotonous and it will be difficult to maintain long-term popularity.
But if other content is to be broadcast, this Go fool will not be happy again!
So Ai Jianan’s idea is to update some of Rui Zhao’s daily vlog videos at a higher frequency while live broadcasting Go. This can effectively balance the monotony caused by the single content of the program, and only All you need to do is take a picture nearby, and it doesn’t take up much of Rui Zhao’s time.
But... this may seem like a time saver, but it has a fatal problem:
It affects private life very much.
This means that the anchor's daily life must be completely exposed to the public view from time to time, which is very difficult for many people to accept.
So when mentioning this matter, Ai Jian'an was very careful, for fear that Rui Zhao would be offended.
However, to Ai Jianan's surprise, Rui Zhao readily agreed.
Even because she answered too readily, Miss Ai was worried whether this fool had seriously thought about the impact of this incident on her, so she quickly added something.
But Rui Zhao still had no hesitation:
"It's nothing, Sister An An! Anyway, I usually just play chess and review games, so there's nothing I can't show others, right?< br>
“If this can attract more people to learn more about Go, then I think this would be great! ”
Hearing what Rui Zhao said, Ai Jianan decided to give it a try first. If Rui Zhao is not happy, he can stop at any time.
And today is the first day of trying to follow.
Not only did Rui Zhao not resist at all, he even offered to film chess practice and even daily phone calls with his family. He was so cooperative that Ai Jianan felt guilty:
< br>"Well...it doesn't take too long to shoot, I'll just shoot for fifteen minutes!"
"But it's a rare visit to Rongcheng. After we finish practicing chess, shall we go outside to play?" Don’t get too nervous! "
But Rui Zhao shook his head slightly when he heard this and said:
"I won't go...
"What can be more interesting than Go! "
…
…
"Wenmei, I feel like this Rui Zhao...is not a pure vase! ”
At the same time, in Pu Wenmei's room at Yongle Silver Beach Hotel.
Ice Queen Kim Woo-eun went out of her way and came to her teammates’ room to have some exchanges before tomorrow’s game.
Having a cold nature, she always keeps a considerable distance from her teammates to avoid delaying her chess practice due to trivial matters.
But from today's chess game, which ended the fastest, the queen still smelled something wrong:
"Although, there are big problems with Fujisawa's layout in this game, and there are also flaws in the battle. .
“But I don’t think it’s that easy to catch and defeat Fujisawa so quickly and accurately in the first place.”
But Pu Wenmei didn’t take it seriously:
"Hey, Youen, you are too careful!
"This game of chess is obviously just a mistake made by the female anchor!
“I just watched it too. The reason why Fujisawa lost so quickly was because his layout was too random.
"I have been participating in competitions for so many years. I will not make the same mistake as a rookie like her..."
"You should be more careful when you play against her in the next set."
Jin Youen, who never likes to communicate too much, still insisted on reminding.
Pu Wenmei was a little impatient and said perfunctorily:
“Yes, yes!
"Tomorrow I will work hard with her on our internal strength. If we fight hard, she will lose. Don't worry!"
Park Moon-mi is twenty-seven years old, half a year older than Kim Woo-eun. She is the same age through and through. Kim Woo-eun doesn't need to be too polite when speaking.
Seeing her teammates’ attitude, the Ice Queen couldn’t say anything more.
First of all, it’s because she has a cold temperament and is not willing to have too much contact with her teammates unless something really happens.
Come again...she and Park Moon-mi are likely to be opponents in the quarterfinals.
At this time, it is not appropriate to come into the other party's room and criticize the other party's preparations.
"Okay, Wenmei, I just want to remind you to pay attention, there is no other meaning.
"Since you are ready, I will go back to the room first. ”
After that, the Golden Queen didn’t stay any longer and left her teammates’ residence directly. However, after leaving the room, she still felt a little concerned about Fujisawa Mari’s defeat today.
< br>
Indeed, from a chess perspective alone, Fujisawa Mari's own layout errors were the main reason for her loss.
But if the opponent is just a vase, can it really be so easy to win against a strong professional player who has just entered this Wuyue Cup after passing the trials?
Jin Youen had doubts in his mind for a while, and decided that while preparing to compete with Wang Haocheng, he also checked some information about this new junior dan on the Chinese website before going to bed...
…
< br>…
July 23, the second day of the Wuyue Cup.
On this day, Pu Wenmei 9th Dan got up early.
Yes, Park Moon Mi is 9th Dan.
Although everyone in the circle knows that Park Moon-mei's overall strength is weaker than the women's double jade and Natsukawa Aoi, she is a ninth-dan.
The reason... actually lies in the different promotion rules of different countries.
In Japan, promotion does not depend on the winning rate, but on the cumulative number of wins - of course there are direct promotions, but the Japanese Chess Academy only recognizes unrestricted titles or results in world competitions for direct promotion, which is undoubtedly too difficult for women.
So if a woman wants to get to a high level, she can only accumulate the number of wins. Therefore, while being strong, she must also be able to endure. Therefore, the current Japanese women's Go figures are only in the seventh level.
In China, the rules for promotion to high-level chess are almost the same for men and women: either you have to advance to the next level with valid game points, or there is no limit to one championship or two runner-ups in the World Series - and this is for female chess players who are generally weak in strength. It is also very difficult.
This means that Wu Jiuduan, who is sixty years old and whose strength has declined a lot, is willing to come out from time to time to brush up points for his juniors. Otherwise, there is a question mark as to whether Shuangbi can reach the eighth level.
But when it comes to South Korea, the overall ranking rules are relatively weak.
Not to mention the rest, let’s just talk about the point that most affects women’s promotion to a higher rank:
Every time a women’s title or championship is won in South Korea, one can advance to a higher rank!
Domestic women's championship, although it is not easy. But for top female players, they look a bit like mass merchandisers.
With such a backdoor, it is far less painful to advance to high dan. Therefore, there are currently three female 9th dan active chess players in South Korea.
But the strength... well, it is far from being as strong as the rank indicates.
Not to mention the other two, even whether the Ice Queen herself can be considered a "True Ninth Dan" is highly controversial.
If the most stringent Chinese promotion rules are followed, Jin Youen is estimated to be still in the 8th dan now and cannot be promoted to the 9th dan. It can only be said that compared with the women's double jade, the hope of promotion to the 9th dan is much greater.
The reason is very simple: Although the Golden Queen also has a considerable winning rate against male 9-dan players from various countries, it can only be maintained at 40% for a long time, which is not high enough and does not have enough points to count as an effective game.
And if she wants to follow the rules of direct promotion, she is still one short of world runner-up.
This is one of the reasons why the Golden Queen considers herself inferior to Mr. Wu - Mr. Wu's 9th Dan was actually played against male chess players.
…
Park Moon-mi, who got up early, wanted to ask Kim Woo-eun to have breakfast with her, but to her surprise, there was a sign of "Do Not Disturb: Before 9:30" hanging outside Kim Woo-eun's room this morning. Chinese-Korean bilingual reminder sign (the Korean part is a piece of paper that you stick on yourself).
What is going on?
Pu Wenmei was a little dumbfounded.
Although the relationship between her and Kim Woo-eun has not been very close for a long time, she also knows that the queen is diligent on weekdays and does not talk about love at all. At the same time, she also controls her work and rest schedule very well. She always wakes up at 6:30 every day.
But today is... staying in bed? !
For a while, it was difficult for Pu Wenmei to associate the words of the cold and self-disciplined queen with staying in bed. But the fact is before us, but we have to admit it.
…
…
At ten forty in the morning, in the contestants’ common room.
Park Wenmei was making final adjustments before the game.
Although he does not think that the female anchor who won yesterday will pose any real threat to him, since it is a competition, he must be well prepared - Park Moon-mi still has this attitude.
However, at this moment, a person suddenly walked over in a hurry and sat directly in front of Pu Wenmei.
Park Moon-mi took a look and saw that it was Kim Woo-eun with dark circles under her eyes!
"Hey, Youen, what's wrong with your eyes..."
Pu Wenmei saw the Ice Queen coming and wanted to ask about the specific situation this morning. But seeing Jin Youen's appearance, he changed the topic temporarily.
Unexpectedly, she was interrupted mercilessly by Jin Youen in the middle of her words:
"Wenmei, listen to me! You really have to do this game today. Take it seriously!"
Pu Wenmei couldn't help but said: "...Huh?"
"You have to take it seriously! This girl might be...very strong!"
"...What?"
Seeing that his teammates still didn't react, Jin Youen hurriedly explained:
"I used the translation function of the mobile APP last night, and in some Chinese I checked a lot of information on the website and found that this female anchor is not an ordinary new chudan at all!"
"What do you mean? But I saw the official player introduction before, and she did win an amateur competition in half a month. I just decided on it a while ago!”
“It’s useless to just look at the official information! There are many things that the official version doesn’t know!”
Jin Youen, who has always been cold and cold, became anxious for a moment:
"Let me ask you, can an ordinary women's new first-dan player beat China's men's seventh-dan backbone chess player in a competition?!"
"Ah ? ”
This time Pu Wenmei was stunned.
Xia, win the men’s 7th Dan?
Didn’t this female anchor just decide on a segment? Why did you meet the men's seventh-dan in a competition?
However, when the Golden Queen saw no reaction from her teammates, she thought that Pu Wenmei was not ready to take it seriously, so she raised her voice again:
"If you don't think this is anything, then Lin Ruixin, you always know Right? "
As the world's number one player before Ryu Shixian, Lin Daqi's fame is not limited to his country.
"Of course!" Pu Wenmei quickly replied.
"Then do you know that as soon as this girl finished determining the position, she went to challenge Lin Ruixin and asked him to give up and guide the chess first!"
"What?! Provoke Lin Ruixin?! She just defended the Chinese [chess] title Holy Lin Ruixin?”
Pu Wenmei’s eyes suddenly widened.
“Then wouldn’t she definitely be killed?!
“Lin Ruixin is such a crazy person, how can he endure a female chess player provoking him! ”
Unexpectedly, the Ice Queen shook her head solemnly:
"No, nothing happened to her..." catch. ”
I briefly discussed the arrangements with the big guys, and I will write about the next two games. The top 16 game is expected to be simply written, and it is expected to take a chapter to a chapter and a half. The next game will be Chess is the main event, and I will describe it in detail
By the way, because these two chapters are in a hurry, I feel that some of the text details are not polished, so please forgive me.
