Chapter 342 The Curtain Falls and the Curtain Rises
“The computer’s numerical results are better than half an eye.”
December 4, 1:45 pm.
Just as the "No. 1 in the world" and the "No. 1 in the future" were stopping to talk on the side of the covered bridge.
Buju Nongshim Hotel, game room.
In the ninth game of this Lakeside Cup, the last piece just fell.
After the two sides stopped the clock, the on-site referee confirmed the final outcome to the loser determined by the computer in a calm tone:
"...Rui Zhao, 2nd Dan, may I ask? Do you have any objection to this result? "
"Ah..."
After hearing this basically certain result, the girl lowered her eyes slightly and replied softly:
"No, thank you."
"Well, thank you for your cooperation!"
The on-site referee who received the confirmation reply immediately nodded to Rui Zhao and then announced the game to everyone present. The final result of the fierce battle that lasted four hours and 45 minutes:
“Then...it was confirmed by the players.
“In the ninth game of this Lakeside Cup, Japan’s Natsukawa Aoi won the seventh-dan title. Defeat China's Rui Zhao 2nd Dan with half an eye advantage!
"In the first game of the third stage, the South Korean team will arrange for players to attack!"
Finally... we won!
Finally won this Rui Zhao!
As the on-site referee announced the final result, Xia Chuankui, who was still feeling a little uneasy at first, ignored the etiquette and stood up suddenly.
Even though the fatigue caused by the long battle almost made her stagger, she still immediately stabilized her body, raised her arms and shouted loudly, venting the pent-up emotions in her chest.
This game of chess... it was really difficult for her to win!
Although during the long game of chess, she could clearly feel that her opponent's performance in settling down in complex situations was indeed not satisfactory.
However, Rui Zhao still showed excellent stability and attention throughout the entire closing process.
After five consecutive days of fighting, the last day was nearly five hours of "super long rapid chess". Although the girl's finishing skills were poor, she did not retreat, forcing Natsukawa Aoi to use With 200% energy and fighting spirit, he fought hard with the opponent until the last moment before finally winning miserably.
After many hardships, we finally achieved this victory.
At this time, Natsukawa Aoi was enjoying the afterglow of victory, while Tadao Sato, the vice chairman of the Japanese Chess Academy on the side, was also moved to tears when he saw this.
A victory in the Lakeside Cup may not mean anything to China or South Korea.
But for Japan, which has a dismal record in this tournament, a head-on defeat to this newcomer girl who showed almost terrifying suppression and was recognized by the domestic media as "the number one female in the future", It still brought great excitement to the entire Japanese Go community!
At the same time, across the sea in Japan, many professional chess players who participated in this "Empress Zhao's Countermeasures" were also celebrating, enjoying a rare moment of victory since this tournament!
The Japanese women’s team has finally won the Lakeside Cup this time!
I got it from the "Empress Zhao Tian" who is almost like a demon king!
Seeing such a scene, the media present naturally pressed the shutter in their hands, recording this extremely infectious moment and preparing for the news that was about to be published.
It’s just at this moment.
The beautiful girl who acted as the "final BOSS" seemed to have no interest in paying attention to the noise on the side.
She just looked at the final board in front of her quietly, as if she was thinking about something, and seemed to...
Not thinking about anything.
…
At this point, the first scene of many legends in the ring competition for "Live Broadcast Queen Zhao Tianhou" has come to an end.
In the 2023 Lakeside Cup Three Kingdoms Women's Arena, Rui Zhao, as the pioneer of China, passed all the way, won consecutive victories, and crushed every game. In the first and second stages, there was almost no opponent.
After seven consecutive victories, the troops arrived in front of the Japanese general, and for a while the war was raging. Natsukawa girl Ryu Honinbo urgently asked for help from the whole country, and she just retreated after a hard battle!
After this battle, the title of "the number one woman in the future" was almost universally recognized by the three countries, and no one dared to object in public.
At the end of the last game of the second stage, the scene where the girl stared calmly, neither sad nor angry, next to her opponent who was raising her arms and shouting, also became the scene of this year's Nongshim. /Lakeside Cup Arena, the most famous...
One of the two photos.
…
…
"Kudan Koyanagi! Sorry for the long wait!"
At the same time, at the Nongshim Hotel in Buzhou, on the side of the glass covered bridge.
Just when the entire Japanese chess world was in a state of excitement over the hard-fought victory of Honinbo, the female streamer from this country.
An Jung-taek, a photographer at the South Korean Chess Academy who had just packed up his things, was carrying his machine and trotting towards the gentle young man who was watching others leave. The South Korean Chess Academy has considerable experience in the commercial operation of Go. When there are important competitions on weekdays, team photographers are often sent to film some of the chess players’ daily routines outside the game, so that they can edit the behind-the-scenes programs for chess fans to watch.
Nongshim Cup is naturally no exception.
However, there was no match for the South Korean players this morning, so An Zhengze also rested in the room. It was not until Ryu Shixian informed him that he was about to leave, that he came to join them.
"Ah! Brother An, there's no need to be in such a hurry!"
Hearing An Zhengze's voice, the young man turned his head, with the iconic gentle smile still on his face.
“Hey, I’m not afraid of wasting your time! I can’t neglect you just because you have a good temper!”
An Zhengze, who ran to Master Liu, took a breath, and then looked at the figure who was gradually retreating at the other end of the corridor with some doubts:
"...Hey, I was chatting with you just now, and then I got anxious. The one who ran away in a hurry was...Lei Qi 9th Dan?"
"Yes, yes."
Seeing that An Zhengze had arrived, Liu Shixian took steps toward the arena. .
An Zhengze followed naturally and asked at the same time:
"What...are he talking to you about?"
Master Liu looked playful:
"Nothing...just talking about how to make tuna sashimi more chewy."
"...Huh?"
Hearing this, An Zhengze was confused for a moment. Thinking about what top chess players talk about before a game is really...
Homely!
But before An Zhengze could react, Liu Shixian, who was walking, suddenly stopped and asked:
"By the way...Brother An.
“That photo of Choi Myung Ho senior back then... was it taken here? "
"Huh? ”
An Zhengze was stunned again when he heard this, but he quickly realized which photo Liu Shixian was talking about.
After all, that photo is too famous in the South Korean Go community.
In November 2004, the second stage of the 6th Nongshim Cup was also held at the Busju Nongshim Hotel.
The last match of the second stage that year was Cui Minghao stepping into the ring to challenge Jiao Kai.
Because the Internet was not developed at that time, it was not convenient to conduct remote seminars through the Internet.
Therefore, all five members of the Chinese team, which has always been highly collectivist, arrived in South Korea at that time, so that they could work together at any time.
So when Jiao Kai walked from the corridor bridge into the game room of the complex building, he was surrounded by teammates and coaches who were full of momentum.
The results of the Chinese team that time were also quite satisfactory. By the last set of the second stage of the arena competition, they had achieved a numerical advantage of three versus two versus one.
Looking back at the South Korean team that time, due to the extremely poor performance of the first four players, only Choi Myung Ho was left in the last game of the second stage. Therefore, when the South Korean general entered the corridor, he seemed extremely weak and isolated.
At that time, there was a South Korean reporter at the hotel who captured these two moments. He planned to write a special report after his country's defeat in this Nongshim Cup to denounce the war criminal behavior of the top four South Korean chess players and Individualistic behavior requires him to apologize to the people.
But the result... everyone knows.
The photo of Cui Minghao going to the game room alone has become the most perfect footnote of the 6th Nongshim Cup Arena Tournament.
As the photographer of the South Korean Chess Academy, An Jung-taek naturally knows that photo.
He looked around and then said with great certainty:
"Yes, the photo of Cui Minghao was taken on this corridor!"
"Ah...that's it!"
The number one person in the world nodded, looked around for a while with a relaxed expression, and finally said in a joking tone:
"Then... ...Brother An.
“Should I...
“Should I take a photo here too?”
Tomorrow the update may be postponed to noon, let me say this to all the big guys...
As expected, breaking updates cannot be done often, I’m sorry that the company is also tired of myself
In addition, Xiao Zhaoben The journey to the 2016 Lakeside Cup has indeed come to an end. There will definitely be controversy about this result, but this is indeed the result that was decided when the overall outline was conceived. In fact, the speed at which I improved the protagonist is already quite fast. Any faster would be obviously surreal. I hope you guys can understand.
