"Xiao Lei... his whole body is red and warm!"
February 9, six o'clock in the evening.
After watching the just-concluded Nongshim Cup match, Huang Bonan couldn’t help but sigh in Lianmai:
“...Xiao Lei’s state before the game was... He seemed very calm, but when he really lost, his mentality was still obviously ups and downs. "
Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Although most ordinary people's Spring Festival holiday has been suspended, chess players have free time as long as there are no competitions.
Therefore, in today’s crucial game of the Nongshim Cup, all non-Nongshim players from China can gather together through the Internet and watch the game together.
“This game of chess is indeed a pity.”
Ji Qiufui, who is also in Lianmai and is good at layout, said softly:
“Stick to it” The black Xiao Lei was obviously prepared for this game.
“He deliberately made a lot of upsets but lost a lot of winning percentage, constantly testing Liu Shixian’s skill. Moreover, they also showed great composure after entering the middle set. Until the 128th move, the winning rate of both sides was still 50-50.
"It's a pity that Lei Qi made a mistake in finalizing the upper right official piece during the countdown and lost two pieces.
"Although the number of pieces was not many, it is estimated that Xiaolei's mentality suddenly changed.
“Xiao Lei Guanzi is actually not a weak player, but with the disadvantage of two-eyed chess, he can continue to compete with Master Liu, the top two official masters at the moment, to finish the game. It cannot be said that there is no chance, but I hope so. It was indeed a long shot, so he just chose a hard-fought approach, and finally failed."
"Well...you really can't make any mistakes when playing chess with this Liu Shixian!"
Among all the people in Lianmai, Lele was the most lively one. When he heard this, he immediately cue Shangguan Sheng in Lianmai:
"Hey, Mr. Guan! I want to ask you something!
"Chunbi, the official... Do you think you can handle Master Liu? "
"Ah this...
"I can only say that his official is definitely no weaker than me!"
The official's voice was a little helpless:
"Actually, I can't judge too accurately. The main reason is that when I play with him, the layout and the middle game are definitely his advantages, and when he has the advantage in the game, he will often seek stability and give in to end the game. It seems that he is just losing more money... ..."
"Then why do you think he is weaker than you? Maybe he is actually worse than you!"
Bian Lele replied unconvinced.
But Shangguan Sheng's voice became increasingly bitter:
"But the problem is that every time he is more enthusiastic about entering the official stage than me..."
"..."×N
As soon as these words came out, there was another silence in Lian Maizhong.
“Hey, that’s understandable!
“Just like Jordan’s nickname has always been ‘The God of Basketball’, and we won’t give him the nickname ‘Central Shooting Handsome Boy’ Same nickname. "
Zhu Yuanjun took over and said:
"Liu Shixian really has almost no shortcomings. Even his so-called fear of chaos is just that the instability of chaos is greater. Compared with Kung Fu Chess, he has a higher chance of losing.
"In fact, most of them Even though he was dragged into a chaotic battle, he still won. ”
There was silence again in Lianmai,
And this silence made the atmosphere very depressing for a time.
Seeing this discussion hurt morale even more, so I acted as a temporary speaker. Bian Lele quickly stopped and started another topic:
"Okay, since Xiao Lei failed to win, it's time to discuss the second link:
"Who is the substitute player? Hurry up and explain yourself, don't be dishonest to everyone every day!
“I asked Lin Ruixin before, and he said that he is sure that the main leader will be on the field, and he cannot be the second to last one.
“And now that Xiao Lei has been knocked out of the ring, what will happen? Don’t hide who it is! ”
However, when it comes to this, even Mainai still has no one to answer the question.
"Well...
"Then it can only be Dai Gong! "
Seeing this, Bian Lele speculated:
"This can be explained. Everyone else is now in Lian Maili... so Dai Gong is nowhere to be seen!
“I just said there was something going on in the Chess Association’s welfare tournament recently! It turns out they hired us as sparring partners!
"Next time, I will tell Chairman Monk that we are all top masters. How can a group of people help one person as a sparring partner - you have to pay more!"
But at this moment, Long Bo pondered for a while and then continued. :
“But... to be honest.
“This fast chess really doesn’t look like Dai Ran’s style! "
"Eh? ”
At this time, Shangguan Sheng, who had been silent just now, couldn't help but said:
"Long Bo, do you also feel this way?"
As a veteran, the relationship between Guan Ye and Dai Gong There are quite a lot of games played against each other - including a lot of fast chess.
So, when playing the "Spring Festival Welfare Competition", Shangguan Sheng felt something was wrong.
“Ah!
"Long Bo, Guan Ye, do you both think so?"
At this time Ji Qiufu also joined the discussion:
"I also said, this doesn't look like Brother Dai.
"I had some doubts after playing my three games a few days ago. If Long Bo and Guan Ye feel the same way now...
"I guess, it's the same as us. It’s not Brother Dai who is playing online.”
"Huh? Not Dai Gong?!"
Now Lele was also stunned. When he saw that there were welfare benefits, he just worked hard to make money without thinking too much about it.
But now that I think about it, it seems that the style is a bit wrong.
When it came to this point, the 9th-dan masters who participated in the "Spring Festival Welfare Competition" also felt that something was not right, and even Mai's voice suddenly became noisy.
At this moment, the official, who had always been calm and calm, rarely raised his voice:
"That...everyone!
"Actually, I have a rather bold guess...
"It may sound a bit outrageous at first glance..."
……
...Thank you for the hospitality, it was a very nice dinner.
At the same time, there was a game of chess in the Dongjiang Hotel.
After finishing the review, Master Liu, who had just had a fierce battle with the Chinese Zhonglian, muttered something to himself.
It’s just that, as the one “being eaten”, Lei Qi on the opposite side is hardly in a good mood.
Although he did not directly collect the chess and then rush out of the game room like he did in the last Nongshim Cup, he instead completed the post-match review with Ryu Shixian.
But looking at Lei Qi at this moment, although he tried hard to keep his tone and behavior normal, his red cheeks and slightly vibrato tone still fully expressed the unwillingness of the young man in front of him.
Just like that... do you want to win this game?
Master Liu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows quietly.
It seems...
He is indeed very unwilling to let his strong rival play...
In fact, in Liu Shixian's opinion, Lei Qi did not do a bad job in this game.
In the beginning, he frequently chooses unpopular changes outside of the three choices to avoid his extremely deep layout research capabilities.
In the middle game, he played steadily and focused on the quality of his moves. He did not blindly think that "to deal with Liu Shixian, you have to rely on random battles" and forced the team to start a team.
If it weren't for the fatal mistake in the upper right corner, which made Lei Qi, whose string was still a little tight, a little unable to settle, the outcome of this game might have been decided by the official.
——Of course, even compared to an official, Master Liu is confident enough.
It seems...
Now is not the right time to talk to him!
Seeing that Lei Qi was not in the right state, Liu Shixian secretly gave up the idea of exchanging feelings with his opponent.
Although Lei Qi did not save him any face at the opening ceremony of the third stage, Master Liu had no intention of settling the scores.
Liquidating this kind of thing is still too low in the eyes of a senior musician like him.
The reason why he put pressure on the Chinese Chess Association before was just to hope that this trip to Nongshim would not be too boring.
After all, the Great Chess Master Lin, who he had already studied thoroughly, has only been able to play poorly recently and poses no threat at all.
If the substitute players are obviously not strong enough, then the only one who can really be regarded as Young Master Liu's opponent in this arena competition is Lei Qi, which will inevitably make Liu Shixian a little less interested. So he hoped that the Chinese Chess Association could at least replace him with a first-line ninth-dan player
In his opinion, Lei Qi's reply at that time was nothing more than a correct response to his position, and he wasted his words to increase the number of disciples for others. The discomfort is unnecessary.
“Now that the review is over, let me excuse you for the ninth stage of Lei Qi.”
Seeing Lei Qi sitting in his seat after putting away the chess pieces, obviously depressed, Liu Shixian knew that it was not appropriate for him to continue to stay here.
"...Well, please."
Lei Qi nodded slightly exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted, and it was obvious that he still needed to slow down for a while. Master Liu immediately stood up and left.
But just when Liu Shixian walked out of the game room and was about to go for an interview, he suddenly met someone who surprised him:
“Ah...
"You're finally here."
"...Eh?"
Rui Zhao was a little confused when he heard Liu Shixian's emotion as soon as they met.
She stood guard at the door of the game room. She originally saw that Lei Qi was in a bad state in the live broadcast. She wanted to wait at the door of the game room and wait for Lei Qi to come out to say a few words of relief, but she didn't want Liu Shixian to come out first< br>
However, Liu Shixian did not wait for Rui Zhao to react, and continued:
"As agreed between us last time, I promise to give my best tomorrow and go all out.
"Please... don't let me down too much! ”
The girl then reacted and immediately pursed her lips.
Her originally gentle and pure temperament suddenly shrank at this time and was condensed into a majestic and inviolable His fighting spirit is no less powerful than that of the world's number one.
"I can't get it, Liu Jiuduan...
"Tomorrow, please give me more advice!"
"Yes."
Master Liu nodded slightly, said no more, and walked straight towards the waiting media reporters not far away, ready to Accept post-match interview.
Now that the deal is done.
Why not relax and taste the flavor of this little after-dinner dessert!
…
…
On February 9, after the failure to challenge the South Korean captain in the last Nongshim Cup, Lei Qi, who served as the backbone this time, once again fell to the "contemporary Nongshim Cup". In front of Liu Shixian, known as "God".
As the news spread throughout the major Go communities in China, various noises followed.
Although most chess fans believe that victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism, due to the sluggish performance of Chinese Go in the past two years, some chess fans are tired of losing. Some chess fans are still concerned about Lei Qi's "pre-game bragging but losing again." The result was extremely dissatisfying, and for a time the voices of "Meng Huo" arose one after another in major Go communities.
However, such a small rhythm was quickly submerged in the shocking wave of public opinion that followed...
…
…
The first of this Nongshim Cup An hour after the twelve games ended, the Nongshim Cup Organizing Committee announced the candidates submitted by the Chinese Chess Association for tomorrow's challenge.
The selection of this candidate can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. The Chinese chess world, which was originally depressed due to Lei Qi's failure in the attack, instantly sparked an astonishing discussion.
——The Chinese vice-general who is about to challenge the current number one in the ring on February 10 is a current domestic female celebrity and seven-dan chess player who was recruited by the Chinese Chess Association through the recovered wild card quota after Ni Jue was ill.
"Empress Zhao", Rui Zhao. (End of this chapter)
