[News: In the semi-finals of the Spring Orchid Cup, Lei Qi narrowly defeated Liu Shixian with a white quarter! Join Zhu Yuanjun in the final! 】
[Chinese Go’s two-year and one-month world championship drought has come to an end! 】
Xiao Lei... finally passed this hurdle!
At 6:40 in the evening on April 17th, Hailing Hotel, VIP viewing room.
Dai Ran glanced at the message pushed by Yiguo APP less than five seconds after the game ended, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.
And looking around, there were cheers and applause!
Shang Chaotian, chairman of the Chess Association, even had red eyes. He covered his face with his hands and acted extremely excited, as if he had won the world championship again!
This victory is also of great significance to Chinese Go!
Although Rui Zhao's "Pink Miracle" in the Nongshim Cup greatly boosted the morale of the circle, if the world championship drought cannot be ended as soon as possible, the entire Chinese chess world will always be shrouded in dark clouds and thorns in the back.
And today, with the continuous growth of China's new generation leader in the past two years, its persistent efforts have finally received the first reward!
This precious victory ensured China's first world championship in two years! Although it is still too early to say the end of Liu Shixian's reign of terror, it is enough to give the entire Chinese Go community a breather!
I didn’t expect that...
Originally I just stayed and continued to be Rui Zhaodang’s sparring partner, but I didn’t expect to encounter such an exciting thing!
Dai Gong, who had always been unsmiling, also smiled and nodded at this moment.
In this Spring Orchid Cup, he met Liu Shixian in the top 16.
But this time, although Dai Gong, who held the white hand, still seemed to have been entangled with Liu Shixian for a long time, during the game, he could clearly feel that his computing power had declined significantly, and he had no obvious chance of winning in the overall game. , and finally defeated helplessly.
However, after the end, seeing that Rui Zhao was still continuing his journey, he had plans with Ni Jue, so he offered to be the coach and sparring partner of Zhao Tianhou during the subsequent matches of the Spring Orchid Cup.
As a result, this time Rui Zhao created his best result in the World Championship, Lei Qi also defeated the Sufferer in one fell swoop!
As the previous generation of "Noble Phantasm against Liu" who is about to gradually withdraw from the front line, Dai Ran is in a good mood to see that young people can finally take over the banner of confrontation with South Korea.
That's right, rather than saying there's anything to worry about...
Dai Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and then wrote two WeChat messages to his old friend and sent them:
[Ni Jue, I think we’d better fight]
[The Masters Tournament in the second half of the year, Xiao I'm afraid Lei will be difficult to deal with]
It took almost two seconds after these two WeChat messages were sent, and the other party replied with a very brief sentence:
[Hmm]
…
…
He is now…
It’s not easy to deal with anymore!
At the same time, there was a game of chess inside the Hailing Hotel.
Liu Shixian looked at his opponent who stood up suddenly, raised his arms and roared, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly, shook his head, and let out a long sigh.
Just now, he and Lei Qi had collected all the officials in this game of chess.
Although the two masters had basically foreseen the final result when they accepted the last little official, but when the dust finally settled, the number one person in the future of China on the opposite side still couldn't bear it. He vented his pent-up emotions:
This game was the same as the one next door - Lei Qi, who guessed the white piece, finally narrowly won with a quarter of a piece and a half-eye advantage!
But unlike the black chess game next door, which has a winning rate of less than 50%, this game between the top two players in the world is going on extremely anxiously. Even the government chess players who couldn't see the AI felt that the tug of war between the two sides was extremely tense!
And this time...
The one who persisted until the end was Lei Qi!
Hmm...
I wanted to say that I won the Tong Ge Cup all the way!
While ensuring that she has a chance to be selected as a wild card for the Nongshim Cup, she will also tie the record of senior Choi Myung-ho’s four consecutive world championships...
...Ah, and by the way, help Qi Yuan, Brother Xiang Heng and the others to gain respect.
But now it seems...
It seems that Senior Cui is a bit powerful! To be able to maintain good condition for such a long time.
After sighing in his heart again, the young master of the Liu family straightened his expression and showed his signature smile again.
“Congratulations on entering the finals, Lei Qi 9th Dan! What a wonderful match!
"Now it seems...I was the one who lied about the Sanshuang Cup!"
"Ah..."
Liu Shixian's words brought Lei Qi back from his inner excitement.
He squinted his eyes and said calmly but confidently:
"Of course! It's useless to think about trouble with girls every day!
"I'm looking forward to meeting you in next year's Nongshim Cup Masters Battle, Liu Jiudan!"
"Well...I'm looking forward to it too.
"I hope that game of chess will be able to Give me the same enjoyment as the last plate of this year’s Nongshim Cup!
"But..."
At this point, Liu Shixian suddenly turned his head and said to the side of the chess table:
"...Rui Zhao, if I come to you to play chess, will it be considered as causing trouble for you?"
"Of course not!
"I have always been looking forward to playing with Liu Jiuduan and you Duoduo Chess game! "
Hearing this, Lei Qi's expression visibly froze!
Looking at Liu Shixian's gaze again, the "strong enemy" standing next to the chess table was not him again. Who is it?
At this moment, Hua Xia Yuan's player immediately forgot about Meng Huo's excitement and couldn't help complaining:
"Hey!!!" Didn't you just say last night that you would rather draw me? "
"...Huh? "
After the game, Rui Zhao, who came to the chess table next door to check the situation, was stunned for a moment, then blinked and replied:
"This is... not contradictory!
"Although I would rather draw you Lei Jiuduan in this game, if I can play more games with Liu Jiuduan, I will naturally be very happy!
“I’ve never chosen one!”
……? !
What kind of scumbag is this talking about!
Hearing this, Lei Qi's expression was obviously almost unbearable.
The Hua Xia Yuan player, who seemed extremely excited just now, was speechless to the extreme. Liu Shixian, who had just been defeated, couldn't help laughing, and then asked Rui Zhao:
"Unfortunately, I don't have a chance to meet you at the Nongshim Cup this time...
"Hey, yes Okay, did your side win or lose? "
"Ah... There is still a gap between my strength and Zhu Yuanjun's ninth level! ”
Rui Zhao said with a little embarrassment:
"He has always had the advantage, and in the end I lost half an eye."
"This is really a pity..."
Liu Shixian said half-jokingly:
“I originally thought that if you could reach the finals and win Lei Jiudan and win the World Championship, then we would still have a chance to meet in this Nongshim Cup...”< br>
"I won't let her win against me, okay!!!"
Lei Qi, who was speechless just now, couldn't help but rant again.
But at this time, Master Liu had no intention of paying any attention to Lei Qi, and continued to talk to Rui Zhao:
"But... this is just right!
"Originally I thought I would definitely make it to the finals, freeing up my schedule.
"Since Rui Zhao has also been eliminated, it's a rare opportunity to play chess together for two days?"
"???????"
Although Lei Qi's head was obviously A series of question marks popped up, but how could Rui Zhao notice it at this time? Without saying a word, he expressed his position:
"Really? That's great!
"Liu Jiuduan, when will we start! Can it be done now? ! ”
"...Well, let's do it early tomorrow morning."
Mr. Liu, who was quite tired after the hard battle, still rejected the other party's overly radical proposal:
"I think there is a tea room in the hotel, too. Over there! The time is set according to the time of the Nongxin Cup..."
"No, wait!"
Lei Qi finally couldn't bear it:
"Rui Zhao, if you want to practice chess, I can play with you! There is no need to ask Liu Shixian!"
"...Huh?"
This statement made Hanhan not understand. :
"But... Lei Qi 9th Dan, you have to prepare for the third round of the finals starting the day after tomorrow, right?
"Teacher Lei and Chairman Shang have been looking forward to you winning the second world championship. ! ”
"..."
For a moment, Xiaolei Jiuduan was speechless.
For him, after finally defeating Ryu Se-hyun and entering the finals, there is no reason not to go all out to win this championship!
Looking at the extremely troubled expression of the opponent who had just defeated him, Master Liu, who had just been defeated, couldn't help but feel a lot happier.
On the other hand, the face of Lei Qi, who had just won and entered the World Championship finals again, was filled with resentment that he wanted to vent personally...
…
…
Of course, Liu Shixian didn’t know whether Lei Qi found someone to kill him in the end.
He only knew that during the three days of sparring between him and Rui Zhao, everything seemed very calm and passed extremely quickly.
At 5:30 in the afternoon of April 20th, Hailing Hotel.
The second game of the third round of the Spring Orchid Cup finals officially ended here.
After playing black in the middle of the first game and provoking a chaotic battle and using transitions to defeat Zhu Yuanjun, in the second final of the game, Lei Qi still maintained a very high level of competition, controlling the board throughout the entire process and pushing without giving up. Round pig any clear chance.
At the 254th move, seeing that the gap was no longer something that could be recovered at the stage of a small official, Yuanzhu had no choice but to invest.
Two years later, Lei Qi, recognized as the "No. 1 man in the future", defeated Zhu Yuanjun with a total score of 2-0 and won his second world championship! (End of this chapter)
