Chapter 291: Unmistakable and ferocious
“Hey, Brother Hen, didn’t you agree to make it to the semi-finals of the Changqi Cup this time? Why are you back today?”
October 2023 On the 28th, eight o'clock in the morning.
Pengze City, the training base of the Weijia Pengze team.
Chu Jun, who has been stimulated by the two ninth-level players in the team for a long time, rarely experienced the feeling of the situation changing.
"You are the same, Uncle Long. Didn't you say before this game that you are in good shape recently? Why did you buy a plane with Brother Hen?"
"Hey... there are too many strong players in the country, there is nothing we can do!"
Tang Guansheng has always been tolerant of the little taunts made by the young players in the team.
If you only allow yourself to stimulate others, then you are not the team leader!
“Wouldn’t the defending champion like Xiao Lei, who brutally tortured rabbits and captured Lao Xu in Japan, come home with us for the day?”
What brother ruthless said is the truth.
In the Changqi Cup quarter-finals held on the 26th, Brother Hen, Long Bo and Xiao Lei all lost, so they all bought tickets for the 27th - well, Lei Qi was a high-speed rail ticket.
Brother Hen was carried away by Ji Qiufu. Long Bo failed to slay the dragon and lost to Lin Ruixin in the middle game.
Xiao Lei, on the other hand, was completely suppressed by Dai Ran, who was in good condition, and was eventually eliminated in the quarterfinals.
But when it came to this, Brother Hen paused for a moment and continued with some confusion:
"But...I'm telling the truth."
"Yesterday, I briefly took a look at Xiaolei's three games in the Changqi Cup. I originally thought that he had a powerful wave of consecutive games in the Nongshim Cup. Winning - especially including the shocking comeback against Seo Sang-heng, he may have returned to form.
“But now judging from the quality of the chess pieces...it doesn’t seem to be there yet!”
“Xiao Lei’s state is obviously not right!”
Besides Long Bo interrupted at the right time:
"Don't just look at the quality of chess! Don't you think his playing style has changed a lot recently?
"In the past, his chess playing was very calm overall, very similar to Dai Gong and Liu Shixian. It is the kind of forcefully widening the gap with the opponent through the quality of chess bit by bit, and it can't be more correct.
“But recently, although his game performance has improved, his ways of winning can be said to be mixed and varied. Many of them even win by messing up the situation and attacking the opponent when they are at an early disadvantage...
“I don’t know why he changed his style! But if you play chess in a style that you are not familiar with, your strength will always be affected. ”
At this time Chu Jun decisively said:
"Well, is there a possibility that he had to use other ways to win because he wanted to control the board but his current strength didn't allow it?"
"Huh?!"
Brother Wu couldn't help but think Somewhat strange:
“What is this statement?”
Chu Jun elaborated:
"Maybe... I played a lot with him before, and I have been watching his chess since he started winning championships, so I know him better.
"Actually, what Lei Qi learned Quite complicated.
“Not only did Chairman Shang teach him himself, Vice Chairman Lu and Coach Jiao were also called by Chairman Shang to teach him, and every time he returned to Dongjiang, Yu Jiuduan and Li Baduan would also teach him - —Not to mention that he has a world champion father himself!
“The reason why he chooses to use the deflection control method among the many acrobatics he is learning is because this method is superior to the opponent’s strength! Under the circumstances, the overall performance is significantly more stable, which is very necessary for a leader. "
"Well, what you said...it's true! ”
After listening to Chu Jun's words, Long Bo nodded slightly:
"Let me just say that although Xiao Lei was the rookie king for three consecutive years, he had never seen any impressive results in the high-end games. How come last year It broke out so suddenly!
“It’s probably because the strength just crossed that line, and it started to treat us like food! "
"That's it..."
Chu Jun shrugged and said:
"Didn't you and Brother Hen lament that it was difficult for Lei Qi to win in the first half of this year? In fact, I am much more familiar with this feeling than you are. I have been accused to death by him countless times!
"But The game of chess in this year's Tongge Cup gave me a different feeling.
“At that time... I felt that he still wanted to control the game, but due to his own condition, he could not control me at all. Instead, he was suppressed by me, so he lost.
“ Brother, did you feel the same way when you played against him in the second round of Siege? "
"Hey, if you want to say that...it's true! ”
Tang Guansheng nodded slightly while thinking about it.
"So! What Long Bo just said contradicts the cause and effect."
Chu Jun spread his hands and said:
"It's not that Lei Qi used other messy tactics. , only then did he become weak.
“It’s probably that Lei Qi judged that he couldn’t control the situation in his current state, so he tried his best to win.
"And once he faces an opponent who is weaker than him and has an advantage, he can actually control it - for example, in the Nongshim Cup game against Rabbit, when the opponent made a mistake, Lei Qi rolled out a huge snowstorm. Ball."
"That's it..."
Tang Guansheng said with emotion:
"Then what's wrong with his condition? It's not really what the rumors say. Right?”
“I don’t know…”
Huang Bonan shook his head slightly:
"But... I feel that he seems to have performed well when playing with Rui Zhao?
"You know, like the game with Xu Xiangheng, I feel that he Even if he was pulled up during the Chess Holy War, he might not be able to turn it over - after all, he did lose the fourth game of the Chess Holy War.
“But he actually overturned this game!
“And in terms of excitement, it can probably compete with the first game of the Chess Holy War for the best game of the year! ”
Tang Guansheng followed with a smile and said:
"Haha, then I guess we have to pray for Queen Zhao to win a few more games!"
"Haha... I guess we don't need to worry too much about this." Huang Bonan He smacked his lips and said:
“The recent Zhao Tianhou is really too cruel...
"It's that...Chu Jun!"
"Huh?"
The boy with glasses who was cue tilted his head.
"If you are free recently... you can take a look at Rui Zhao's chess record in the Women's Masters.
"Don't look back and let Lei Qi catch up. He even plays against the girl he likes. But that's it! ”
"...What?!"
Even though Chu Jun was stimulated by the two of them in new ways all the time, hearing this still felt extremely insulting.
…
…
“Old Wang, today’s game of chess…you have to be careful.”
On the same day, at 1:25 pm, Or City, Border-Mongolia Autonomous Region.
In the quarterfinals of the Women’s Masters Tournament, two previous generation leaders of Chinese women’s Go who had also been competing for more than ten years bumped heads in front of the match table on the field.
Wang Haocheng glanced at Wen Xuefei, who was walking beside him, and then at the words [Rui Zhao-versus-Wang Haocheng] written on the match list, and he knew why his old opponent said that.
Rui Zhao's recent performance has to be said to be very outstanding.
From the first set of the Nongshim Cup, to the qualifiers of the Women's Masters, and then to the first two rounds of this competition, there were a total of eight games, either crushing or pushing, with almost no obvious mistakes.
Although it can still be seen that Rui Zhao is still far behind the women's doubles in terms of seizing opportunities, digging holes and long-term layout.
But there is no obvious mistake, but it is already quite scary in a women's competition where feeding each other with spoons is common.
You know, for female chess players, unstable status has always been a major problem that restricts their progress.
Even if it's a sheep and a bird, from time to time it will cause a big upset due to some relatively low-level mistakes.
The excellent stability and increasingly outstanding strength that Rui Zhao has shown since he was determined to be a tier-one really made it difficult for Wang Haocheng, who was drawn to Queen Zhao Tian in the quarterfinals.
However, after listening to the words of his old rival, Wang Haocheng's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he retorted slightly:
"Don't bother!
"You should also worry about yourself, Jing Jing is no better. Empress Zhao is easy to deal with. "
Unexpectedly, Wen Xuefei only smiled softly and said:
"I know this! But that’s okay!
"If I lose, I will be the secondary forward in the second stage of the arena!"
Wang Haocheng was slightly surprised by Wen Xuefei's statement.
Because she knew that Wen Xuefei was the stronger one between the two, but she didn't expect that she would recognize him so easily.
Wen Xuefei was obviously aware of the other party's doubts, but his tone was still relaxed:
"What do you think I have been doing at night in Japan these days? I can't accept it anymore!"
Wang Haocheng was startled when he heard this, and then frowned:
"Don't she take a good rest after the ring competition?!"
"She said she is used to it."
>"Don't you feel tired?"
Wen Xuefei sighed:
"Her statement is that when an Internet addicted teenager exaggerates, he can play games for more than twenty hours a day, but it is nothing for her to play chess for more than ten hours...
"This means that insufficient sleep time will be harmful in the long term. Body, otherwise she could have had more..."
"Can it be compared like this? ! "
Wen Xuefei shrugged: "Anyway, I can..."
Wang Haocheng pursed his lips and sighed after a few seconds of silence:
"I understand... No wonder this girl's grades have been so high recently!
"However, I may not be so quick to admit this cowardice - we might have to meet her in the last round of the league. !
"And the league... is a team honor."
"Ah, haven't you won enough league championships yet?" Wen Xuefei joked.
Wang Haocheng replied simply: "Yu Hong and Jing Jing didn't talk enough."
Wen Xuefei couldn't help laughing:
"I feel like you will really be a good mother in the future...
"Then, I will continue to work hard for my strong position in the ring. ”
After saying these words, Wen Xuefei left in a hurry and walked straight towards the energetic little witch who was already sitting in a corner of the arena.
Wang Haocheng watched his old opponent off, He also calmed his breathing secretly and walked slowly to the other corner of the field.
There, the bright girl was already sitting in front of the stage with a calm and focused expression, quietly waiting for the arrival of her opponent in this round.
Tomorrow I will write a game of chess, which is probably the only one between the first and second stages of the arena competition.
