Chapter 364 Bay Area Masters Competition
“Rui Zhao is very lucky this time, maybe...
“I’m going to win second place...”
December On the 28th, Pengze City, Luohu Rimang Hotel
The last Chinese Go event this year, the Chinese Women’s Go Bay Area Masters Tournament, will be held here
Chu Jun, who was in charge of the on-site commentary for today's event, couldn't help but sigh softly after seeing the results of the draw.
The Bay Area Masters Competition is a small-scale invitation-only competition. Although the organizer is the Pengze Municipal Government and the various arrangements and reception standards are quite high, the competition itself is still short and concise.
There are only eight contestants, and there are three single-elimination rounds in total, and the competition will be completed within two days.
The two rounds on the first day are fast chess with a one-hour reserve time and a one-minute countdown. The next day's finals extended the retention time to two hours, and the countdown was still one minute.
Two days and three rounds, this schedule is actually a bit overwhelming for female chess players.
However, there are not many units or companies that are willing to host women's competitions, so female chess players are not too entangled in this - bonus points are good, but what about bicycles?
There are no seeded players in the competition, and all players are drawn directly.
But this time, Zhao Tianhou, who had average luck in the Women's Masters and Dongjiang Jianqiao Cup, seemed to have finally been favored by God.
Shuangbi and the little witch who had just reached the Wuyue Cup finals were all assigned to the top half. Only Rui Zhao was assigned to the bottom half.
This means that Rui Zhao will only meet one of the three until the finals. It can be said that the runner-up has been locked in advance.
——There is no way, in the past two months, several women in the sixth dan have not defeated Rui Zhao at all.
The power of Queen Zhao to suppress players whose overall level is weaker than hers seems to be even more exaggerated than that of her senior brother named Sun!
When he thought of this, Chu Jun couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at Queen Zhao Tian who had drawn the sixth lottery on the stage.
To be honest, Chu Jun is quite dissatisfied with this female rookie who has emerged so quickly.
The reason is also very simple:
As a newcomer of basically the same age, this yet another out-and-out anchor and star chess player in the Go circle seems not to take him seriously at all!
When she was quarreling with Lin Ruixin, she directly said that when she won the New Player King, she would challenge the current chess master title holder.
At the Women's League Award Ceremony half a month ago, she even took the initiative to start a group and directly compared herself to Lei Qi, without taking herself seriously at all.
Not to mention that half a year ago, I approached [Yizhao Qiyi] to play chess on the Yiguo platform, but was directly rejected by the opponent because of his insufficient rank!
Coupled with the fact that Tang Guansheng and Huang Bonan have been comparing Rui Zhao to him almost every now and then, this has given the boy with glasses a strong sense of competition towards each other. Therefore, when I came to commentate on the game this time, I paid a lot of attention to the opponent.
By the way...
I seem to have never heard her mention me, right?
After all, I am also the winner of the last Rookie King. As for ignoring me like that!
Chu Jun couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart, and at the same time made up his mind to teach the other party a lesson.
As for the timing... of course it will be in the Rookie King Competition!
But, the only trouble is...
Chu Jun is somewhat unsure about whether he can win the opponent.
Although he has performed well recently, both the Yixian Competition and the Mengli Lily Cup have reached the final round of qualifying. In the Weijia League, he started to be able to fight against some weak master chess players.
However, Rui Zhao's performance was not inferior at all.
Yixian Tournament also reached the final round of preliminaries. Although Mengli Lily Cup participated in the women's group preliminaries, it also caused a lot of trouble for Liu Yuhong in the end.
And now, it seems that she is likely to win the runner-up in the Bay Area Masters Competition!
This... it should just be that she is in a better condition, right?
Female chess players generally have ups and downs in their status. She can’t stay in such good shape for more than half a year!
The boy with glasses made this judgment in his heart, and at the same time gave himself some positive hints.
…
…
“Zouyang, you’re in average shape lately!”
On the same day, at 5:30 pm, Luohu Rimang Hotel.
A focus battle in the second round of this Bay Area Masters Competition has just ended.
After a fierce battle, Liu Yuhong defeated Zou Yang in the middle set and met Rui Zhao, who had defeated Jia Feiquan half an hour ago, in the final.
Facing the question raised by his old rival immediately after the game, Zou Yang replied softly:
"Ah...it's okay, it's not surprising that I lost to you.
"As for Wu Yue Losing to Manjing in the cup semi-finals...people always make mistakes!
"What's more, didn't I win her back in the first round just now!"
The little bird glanced at the little sheep and still said reluctantly:
< br>
"That's not the problem!
"The main thing is...I feel like you've become a lot less depressed recently.
“Just like this game, I feel that I don’t have much desire to struggle after being at a disadvantage. It seems that whether I win or not is not that important...”
The female celebrity’s answer is still calm:
"Yu Hong, I have never been as strong as you, and you should know this." I have been playing chess for many years, and by this time, my achievements have basically come to an end. breakthrough.
“For me, apart from the women’s league championship, there is no such thing as a ‘must win’.”
“To be honest, after confirming that Rui Zhao can After joining our team midway, what I care most about in the second half of the year is the league and the Lakeside Cup, and then whether I can hold on to my female celebrity title for a little longer
"As for the other things... that's true. Nothing too big an obsession. ”
That’s it...
It’s no wonder that in the Dongjiang Jianqiao Cup final, she seemed far less difficult than before, and she didn’t seem to have such a strong desire to win today...
After hearing this, Liu Yuhong finally understood his old rival. thought, then frowned slightly and said:
"Forget it about some domestic competitions, but even for the Wuyue Cup..."
"Just do your best!"
Zou Yang raised his eyebrows and began to put away the chess pieces.
"It's not like I don't have the Women's World Championship, and it's not like I can do anything if I win one more Women's World Championship...
"I feel that after winning this year's Women's World Championship, my career will be better. I no longer have any big regrets in my career, but I have to gradually start thinking about the second half of my life!
"To tell you the truth, after the New Year, I will start looking for a partner..."
"...Huh?!"
The overall tone was quite good Liu Yuhong, who was relatively calm, suddenly lost his composure:
"Looking for, looking for someone? Are you?!"
"Yes!"
"Then, is it so early?!"
"Why is it so early? !”
Zou Yang didn’t think there was any problem at all.
"Like Sister Wang, who got married at the age of twenty-seven, it was already too late for me to start looking for her at the age of twenty-six, okay?"
"Yu Hong, please listen to my advice.
“You can put off having children until you are in your thirties, but if you want to get married, it is better to start preparations as early as possible.
“After all... when to have children after marriage? These are all matters that can be discussed and coordinated within the family.
“But if you want to find a reliable person to marry, you can’t just say ‘I want to get married’ and settle down quickly.”
However, Queen Mulan didn't seem to listen to much advice.
She was still in shock when she heard that her old rival was actually looking for a partner. After a long time, she asked again:
"Then, who are you planning to find? In the circle. Outside the circle?”
“There is no hard requirement...”
Zouyang thought for a moment:
"But... it's best to stay within the circle, right?
"After all, for us chess players, if the opponent doesn't know how to go, there will be a lot less common topics! "
But Little Sheep never expected that his casual words would actually cause the other party to have a bigger reaction:
"Best...inside the circle? !
“Wait! You don’t want to attack Sun Hou’er, do you?”
"Ha——?!"
Zou Yang, who had been emotionally stable just now, immediately lost his composure when he heard these incomprehensible words from his old rival:
"No! Little birdie! You How could you think of Sun Hou'er?
"If you don't listen to my kind advice, forget it, and you won't curse me like that!
“Who wants to be with that unattractive monkey!”
