She...
She is already the number one female in China...
On the morning of June 6, South Korea's Injiang International Airport.
Kim Woo-eun, who was about to leave for the Tongge Cup with the South Korean team, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the final results of yesterday's China Mainland Qualifiers popping up on the news.
In this Tongge Cup World Championship, South Korea’s women’s qualifiers did not suffer the slightest upset. Kim Woo-eun, the world's number one female ice queen, successfully defeated all her opponents and won her country's quota for the women's competition.
However, despite everything going well, the world's number one female chess player still cannot be optimistic about the situation in front of her.
Since she won the second place in the LIG Cup the year before last and created the best result among female chess players in the world championship, the Ice Queen has consciously remained as diligent as ever, but has struggled to make progress.
Obviously... I have been learning from the top men's players, and the last five women's world championships have not been left behind.
The queen secretly thought.
But now, not only has my strength basically stagnated for more than a year. In addition to continuing to win the women's world championship, there have been no new breakthroughs in unrestricted competition results and grade rankings.
On the contrary, Rui Zhao has been making rapid progress since she was determined to be a chess player. In less than a year, she is second only to her among women. This makes the queen, who is already alone among women's chess players, feel a little anxious.
“Sister Youen, what’s wrong?
“We are going to participate in the competition, why do we look so worried? "
"Xiao Liu? "
Jin Youen saw the person clearly and responded immediately:
"Ah, I thought of something..."
"What happened? Because Rui Zhao became the number one female in China?"
"Ah..."
Jin Youen, who was guessed about the heart, pondered for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he told the truth to the other party:
“Well, a little bit.
"In the past year or so, I feel like I have stagnated a bit.
"Obviously... my number of women's world championships has surpassed Wu Jiuduan.
“I don’t know why, but I always feel that I am getting farther and farther away from my goal of becoming the ‘first female chess player in history’...”
“Sister Youen, this kind of thing is actually not a problem. You can only adjust yourself..."
Master Liu smiled and replied:
"But if you ask me...you may care too much about things outside the chessboard."
"Outside the chessboard?"
Jin Youen frowned slightly:
< br>"...Really?
"But I always feel that my mind has always been on Go. ”
Liu Shixian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this:
"Then...
"Becoming the 'first female chess player in history', is this something that is part of the plan? "
"...Eh? ”
But in the face of Jin Youen’s doubts, Liu Shixian kept talking and continued:
"Sister Youen, Go is... after all, it is too pure. It is indeed too tiring to play.
"Actually, I think I have enjoyed all the fun brought by Go, but It is still impossible to ensure that every game of chess is at its best and meticulous. Many so-called "rollovers" are also due to this...
"And your words...
"Maybe you still care too much about things outside the market. ”
…
…
“Well…the idea is quite good! The idea is also very clever!
“I was right at first, you are quite talented in research!
“It doesn’t take long for me to learn from the teacher before I can produce my own product!”
On the afternoon of June 7th, Cuizhuxuan Tea Room of Tongge Hotel.
Ni Jue, who had just discussed some of his recent "research results" with Rui Zhao, couldn't help but praise his junior sister with great surprise.
According to the plan, Rui Zhao came to see Ni Jue yesterday, but he never expected that yesterday morning, deputy director of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism Zhu Zhoutong and vice chairman of the Chess Association Kong Zhiyong came to the door to cheat... ...Oh no, I beg the girl to promote the future development of Gozhou and Huaxia's Go industry.
How can an inexperienced girl be a match for these seasoned veterans!
After hearing that there are indeed many people in Gezhou who will continue to invest in the Go industry and hold more events, the girl has been persuaded.
In the end, when Zhu Zhoutong said that he only needed to take a simple photo shoot on Tongge Mountain for an hour, the girl agreed on the spot seeing that it didn’t take much time. The whole process went so smoothly that Zhu Zhoutong himself wanted to suggest it. Girl, hurry up and get to the next [National Anti-Fraud Center].
Finally, yesterday morning, the team from the Gezhou Culture and Tourism Bureau successfully completed all tasks including filming, and immediately sent the filming materials to Party B's company for the work to be done.
But this has disrupted Rui Zhao's planned plan, so he postponed the discussion and communication with Ni Jue until today.
In fact, Ni Jue plans to prepare for the Tongge Cup these two days, but the first round matchup will not be officially announced until tonight, and there is no way to make any special arrangements. Considering that he was working harder this year and had no time to discuss it with his junior sister, he readily agreed.
"Hey! Really? Thank you, senior brother!"
The girl showed an embarrassed smile, and then asked with some expectation:
"Well, Senior Brother Ni, can this flying knife help you win Liu Jiuduan in the Nongxin Cup?"
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Ni Jue's face turned red The smile faded slightly, and after pondering for a while, he said seriously:
"Rui Zhao, I appreciate your kindness.
"But the flying knife you studied... I'm afraid it won't work. It cannot be used against Liu Shixian. ”
"Ah? Why!"
The girl immediately asked subconsciously.
Ni Jue then explained: "Actually, although sharp, it is sharp, but it is not concealed enough."
"Concealed?"
"Yes, you have to know that Liu Shixian also has a very deep research on layout.
"In this world, besides me, he should be the only one.
“I felt this when we played against each other in the Sanshuang Cup last time. He also told me clearly after the game that in the Nongshim Cup, he will definitely give priority to the outcome, and I am afraid that we will fight by then. , he will be extra careful.
"The flying knife you studied is very sharp and extremely powerful, but its edge is exposed, and there is no good way for the other party not to introduce this change.
“It’s a bit like the ‘Ni Knife Change’ that I developed back then. It’s as sharp as it is sharp, and as complicated as it is complex. But neither I nor I will use this change anymore, we will simply avoid the knife.
"For example, I actually hid a lot of flying knives in 'Ni Dao Transformation', but I basically didn't expect to be able to trick others - the same is true for your flying knives for Liu Shixian."
"Ah... "
Rui Zhao pursed his lips, and he could see that he was unwilling to be able to help his senior brother:
"I understand!
"Then I will definitely do it again." Go study hard and help senior brother find another flying knife that is difficult to detect! ”
"Hey! That's not necessary. It takes too much energy from you!"
Ni Jue quickly stopped him:
"What's more, I have my goal of ending Mr. Liu's Nongxin winning streak. , you also have your own tasks to complete!
“The Ice Queen’s consecutive women’s world championship cannot be allowed to continue like this. Otherwise, it will be a big blow to the morale and development of domestic women's Go.
“Now in terms of strength, you are probably the number one woman in the country, and it’s time to shoulder the responsibility of being the ‘first sister’. Do you understand?”
Rui Zhao seemed a little surprised when she heard this - she had never regarded this matter as a "mission" before, and she had no obsession with "winning the Ice Queen".
However, anyway, this is something that can be done incidentally in pursuit of a higher realm of chess skills, so the girl does not feel troubled and immediately nodded and said:
"Well, I understand. !
“I will definitely work hard for this year’s Wuyue Cup! "
"Then I will look forward to your performance at that time! ”
Ni Jue smiled and did not put any more pressure on his junior sister. He asked instead:
“By the way, the first round match will be drawn at the opening ceremony tonight.
< br>“Is there an opponent you want to meet? Maybe you can draw the Ice Queen! That can be considered a preview for the next Wuyue Cup! ”
“Jinjiuduan...”
Rui Zhao pondered for a while, seemingly not so satisfied with the result:
"Actually, if possible...
"I would rather meet Liu Shixian 9th Dan or Lei Qi 9th Dan! "
"...Eh? Why choose them? "
This answer was something Ni Jue never expected:
"With your current level, you will definitely lose if you meet them! ”
However, Zhao Tianhou didn’t think there was any problem at all:
“But, isn’t the advantage of entering the World Series the opportunity to compete with the top masters?
“Then naturally I can compete with Liu Jiuduan. There is nothing better than playing against Lei Qi in the ninth level! "
These words almost choked Ni Jue, and in the end he had no choice but to say:
"Hey, what are you thinking about!
"Liu Shixian and Lei Qi have such good results, they must have received a bye in the first round!
"Don't you also look at the previously announced roster of players for this competition? It’s all stated who will get a bye in the first round! "
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Senior Brother Ni, you, Senior Brother Sun, Brother Xiong..."
"Hey, hey, those of us at the top Got a bye in the first round! Don’t pick a third-party with such a high rating! ”
"Ah..." Although they are also going to be in the first round, you can’t meet them due to the ‘same country avoidance’ rule. "
"Isn't this also possible?
“Then, then either enter Fuji 9th Dan, Ichijo 9th Dan, Ueno 9th Dan and the others!
"It really doesn't work...Jin Youen's ninth degree is fine, I won't choose!"
"Hey! Don't say your last words anywhere else!
"It will cause favors again. Was the accident okay? ”
…
…
On the evening of June 7, the first "Tongge Cup" World Go Championship officially held a grand opening ceremony and welcome dinner at Tongge Hotel in Gezhou. At the same time, it attracted a large number of media to report.
The Gezhou city promotional video focusing on Go culture and industry was finally completed and edited before tonight under Party B’s overtime work and was officially released at the opening ceremony.
In the film, Rui Zhao, the city ambassador of Gezhou City and a professional six-dan female chess player who is also a contestant in this Tongge Cup, is wearing a dress with traditional Chinese print style, or walking on the street In the mountains of Tongge, or on the pavilions, the scenery is bright and gentle, and the scenery is wonderful and the people are even better. It can be said to be extremely beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
It’s just that Queen Zhaotian didn’t watch the whole process. She just held the tablet and kept thinking about how to further study the "hidden flying knife" that Ni Jue said this afternoon.
Finally, after various speeches, speeches, and promotional screenings, the opening ceremony finally came to the final first-round draw.
The players who will play in the first round will take the stage one by one, draw their lottery numbers from the lottery box, and display them to the outside world, and at the same time provide the on-site media with photos and materials.
Among them, the popular and popular supernova chess player Rui Zhao was drawn and will face North American chess player Kerry Tucker in the first round.
Seeing this matchup, the leaders of Gezhou City were beaming with joy - they really hoped that their "publicity ambassador" who had attracted media attention would last one more round in this competition.
However, I don’t know why, when Zhao Tianhou, who got the top lot, showed the number of the lot to the outside world, she puffed up the corners of her mouth and had a kitten face, and she didn’t seem to be very happy.
