"So, Brother Hen...
"You just called me to laugh at me just because of such a big thing? ! ! ”
At five o’clock in the afternoon on April 24, Huang Bonan’s home in Pengze City, Greater Bay Area.
Long Bo, who was preparing for the Dragon Stars qualifiers next month at home, watched the team just The host shared a video link and couldn’t help but burst out in anger.
“Hahaha! This is so funny! ”
Tang Guansheng, who was opposite, smiled so heartlessly that he didn't care about Long Bo's dissatisfaction at all:
"Long Bo, I really want to know how you feel about being equated with a female chess player. My mood...
“Oh, that’s not right! Is it inappropriate to call me ‘Long Bo’ from now on? Do you have to call me 'Youth version of Queen Zhao'? Hahaha..."
-Yes, the reason why Tang Guansheng smiled so happily this time was because of Rui Zhao.
This afternoon, I don’t know which insider did it After the semi-finals of the Spring Orchid Cup, the unedited version of the interview with Zhu Yuanjun was presented to chess fans intact. br>
The equation [Rui Zhao = stable and enhanced version of Long Bo] listed by Zhu Yuanjun in the interview instantly aroused discussion in major Go communities, so much so that even Tang Guan Sheng, who had just finished the first round of the Go Tournament, was ranked first. As soon as he got the news, he started teasing him, which made Long Bo quite unhappy.
In fact, objectively speaking, Huang Bonan has been quite appreciative of Rui Zhao recently.
But after all, he is the top domestic chess player of the generation who has won the first world championship, two world championships, and finished the Nongshim Cup once. But now he is reduced to being used as an indicator of combat power to describe a little girl. The point!
And what’s even more annoying is that this round pig doesn’t matter in comparison! He also insisted on emphasizing that Rui Zhao was "much more stable", which made Huang Bonan's old face have no place to put it.
But Long Bo was angry, but when he wanted to refute, he discovered a very embarrassing thing:
Regarding this "outrageous fallacy" of Round Pig...
He, actually, has no way, counter, refutation!
Huang Bonan took a closer look and found that he really couldn’t compare with Rui Zhao!
In the past year, Zhaotianhou ranked among the top eight and one in the top four at the World Championships. And his best result in the World Championship was being eliminated in the last round of the Tongge Cup last year...
In the arena competition, Zhao Tianhou was the only Nongshim Cup finisher in China in the past five years, while Huang Bonan Not to mention ending the stage, the last time I was selected for the Nongshim Cup was back in 2018...
Looking at it this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Tang Guansheng calling him "the youth version of Queen Zhao"...
Uh, no, no, no!
What are you thinking about? ! !
Discovering that his brain waves were abnormal, Huang Bonan quickly tried to get rid of the messy thoughts from his mind.
Even if this is the case, you can’t admit it!
Long Bo immediately counterattacked Brother Hen:
"You yourself were defeated by Xiao Ji in the chess match today! You have the nerve to ridicule your teammates!
"Don't lose another game tomorrow, both of you will Defeated and went home directly! ”
The material Huang Bonan uses to counterattack is naturally the Chess Saint Tournament currently being held in Luojing City, Central Plains Province.
Although [Chess Saint] is the number one title in China, The scale of the Chess Saint Tournament is the smallest among all titles.
The Chess Master Tournament only allows the top eight players with the highest scores, excluding the current Chess Master, to participate. A double-elimination competition format is used to determine the challenger in six rounds. In the end, the winner of the challenger final between the winners of the winner's bracket is a single game, but the winner of the winner's bracket has the advantage of choosing black and white and the opportunity to rest for two rounds in between.
According to the long-standing competition regulations, in addition to Lin Ruixin, the other eight people in the top nine domestic rankings have the opportunity to compete for the right to challenge for the [Chess Saint] title:
Lei Qi , Sun Yi, Xiong Siyi, Zhu Yuanjun, Dai Ran, Ji Qiufang, Lang Haishen, Tang Guansheng.
Today in the first round of the match, Brother Hen met Ji Qiufang and lost in a bad temper. Huang Bonan used this to make excuses.
But who knew that Tang Guansheng didn't care about this and still looked careless:
"Ouch! If you lose, you lose, it doesn't matter, okay!
" Judging from the recent state, I feel that Xiao Lei and Sun Hou'er are more likely to compete for the challenger qualification!
“How can I, who was selected on the sidelines, really compete for the chess master? I’m just earning game fees!
“Anyway, I didn’t get the [chess master]. I don’t know how to do it. People say it's embarrassing, but Long Bo, you have to be careful not to lose to Queen Zhao in the future!
“Otherwise...
"Maybe you will be called 'Aunt Long'!"
"Get out! In the new season, you, the general, should be careful of yourself first!"
It is rare for Old Uncle Long to explode. He cursed and then hung up the phone. At the same time, he thought to himself that he would really have to show off his skills next time to win over Rui Zhao one more time to prove his reputation!
However, after hanging up the phone, Huang Bonan couldn't help but take a look at the current rankings - he was currently ranked 17th, while Rui Zhao was ranked 42nd.
42 Ah...
Fortunately, she is not qualified to participate in the Dragon Star Battle preliminaries!
Huang Bonan secretly breathed a sigh of relief - in the Dragon Star Battle, in addition to the eight seed players entering the tournament directly, another 28 players were selected for a round of preliminaries and then 14 players were selected to enter the tournament. , only those in the top thirty-sixth grade are eligible to participate, and Rui Zhao is still a little behind.
In fact, in his opinion, even in terms of slow chess strength, Rui Zhao is probably at least one of the top twenty players in the country.
But the reason why her level score is so low is that she still suffered the disadvantage of being late in determining the level - after all, she was determined in less than two years. When a new chess player is in the period of rapid rise, the level score must be at a low level compared to her strength. Obvious lag.
Although Old Long Bo is also a fast chess master who plays fast chess all the year round, fast chess is better than slow chess. But anyone who has seen Rui Zhao wreaking havoc on Tao Chen in the Tianyuan Tournament preliminaries will know:
Zhaojun's current achievements in fast chess are probably much more terrifying than those in slow chess!
If you really want to gain respect from this Zhao Tianhou, I'm afraid you still have to find an opportunity to play slow chess, otherwise you will really be labeled as "Aunt Dragon" by this girl!
——Although, those who play slow chess are also among the top four in the World Championship...
Hmm...wait a minute!
Suddenly, Huang Bonan realized that something was not right.
By the way...
Isn’t it a little over the top for me to struggle with slow chess and fast chess?
Perhaps the best response...
Should it be to hide directly and not follow the truth? ! !
But you can’t escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can’t escape the fifteenth grade!
With Rui Zhao's current strength, when she reaches a higher level, she will almost certainly become a regular in all domestic competitions and even LIG and Sanshuang Cup preliminaries!
Given the situation, wouldn’t he have to face her sooner or later? !
But just when Long Bo felt a chill down his spine, his wife Jingshan suddenly walked over quickly and said to her husband happily:
"Hey, Bonan, you Look!
"Rui Zhao has made another big news! ! ”
"???"
Seeing his wife's expression of not taking it too seriously, Huang Bonan was unable to complain:
"No, wife!
"Your dear husband will be called 'Aunt Long' if you're not careful! Why are you so happy? "
"Aunt Long? ”
Jingshan couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words:
"What Aunt Long?"
"Eh?"
Long Bo felt something was wrong and said quickly:
"You don't know?
"You're talking about...not the interview with Yuanzhu?!" "Huh? What interview!"
It seems that Jingshan really doesn't know about Zhu Yuanjun's interview:
“I mean this year’s King of Kings Tournament!”
“King of Kings Tournament?”
"Yes!"
Seeing that her husband was strange, Jingshan handed her mobile phone to Long Bo:
"Look! Shengjiang City and Chess Association just announced this year's champion The official schedule and participants of the King of Kings competition, Rui Zhao will participate as one of the six invited players as the ‘Nongshim Cup Terminator’!”
“The King of Kings?”< br>
Long Bo’s eyes suddenly widened:
"She has already started participating in King of Kings?!"
"Yes!"
Jingshan said with a smile, seeming to enjoy her husband's surprised expression:
< br>“And...
“This year’s King of Kings tournament is a single round-robin tournament! All contestants will compete against each other! ”
"...single round robin?!"
Hearing this, Long Bo gradually realized why his wife was so interested:
"Holy crap! This...
"Now there's something good to watch again! ”
…
…
“No! Why can that little bastard chess basket participate in the King of Kings Tournament!!!
“What kind of king is he to end the Nongshim Cup!
“Return to the single round robin...that old man Shang is specifically targeting me, right?!
“Are you afraid that I will snatch his throne as the number one man in Chinese history? ! ”
At six o'clock in the evening of the same day, Longxiang Scenic Villa Community in Dajing City.
Lin Ruixin, who was training at home, was roaring at his cell phone for a while. It could be seen that he was now in a state of breaking defense.
As for why the defense was broken...
It is naturally due to the participants and the format of the King of Kings competition!
Ever since the extremely humiliating loss to Rui Zhao in the Spring Orchid Cup quarter-finals, Lin Ruixin has been quite angry recently.
Although he later handed over his public relations ideas to Mo Wei for execution, and Rui Zhao unexpectedly lost to Zhu Yuanjun, which made the reputation of this chess queen somewhat controversial.
But he was defeated miserably by his opponent in a focus grudge match. This is an indisputable fact. It made him go online and look at the news in the industry, and he would see ten people making fun of him!
In response to this, Great Chess Master Lin could not bear it.
As the saying goes: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
For him, defending the title of [Chess Master] again is the top priority these days. What he needs to do is to stabilize his mentality and concentrate on preparing for the battle.
According to Lin Ruixin's original plan, Lei Qi has performed extremely well recently. He has no intention of defending his title in this King of Kings competition - he can just find out the strength of his opponent and use the competition as a substitute for training. The unbearable performance in the Spring Orchid Cup Getting back into the game after a tough loss is key.
It’s just that Lin Daqi Sheng never expected that in the officially announced selection list for the King of Kings Tournament this afternoon, the ones who came to make up the number were not the three Shiyas in the past year, but a certain little bad chess player. Basket!
Forget it alone! What’s even more frightening is that this year’s King of Kings is still a single round-robin competition!
In this way, the reigning chess master and the current Zhaojun will inevitably fight again! This made Internet celebrity Lin, who had planned to wait until the celebrity war was over before settling accounts with Rui Zhaoqiu, suddenly have a mental breakdown.
"Uh, Ruixin, don't be impatient, just listen patiently to what I have to say..."
Seeing his big star becoming hysterical, the manager on the other end of the phone, Mo Wei, had no choice but to persuade Lin Ruixin to accept the reality:
"About this matter, after thinking about it, I can understand the chess association and Sheng. Jiang City's approach.
"Rather than allowing the world runner-up to participate in the competition to lower the quality of the event, it is indeed better to bring Rui Zhao in and change it to a round-robin competition, so that we can take care of both..."
Ke Mo has not returned it. Without saying much, Lin Ruixin's voice roared again:
"Why are you still speaking for that little stinky chess basket? ! Do you also want to see me being killed by her like a dead pig again? ! ”
"No, Ruixin, that's not what I meant!"
Mo Wei tried hard to explain:
"I just analyzed it from the perspective of the association and Shengjiang City, and what they will do This decision is not surprising.
“As for the single round-robin, it is indeed the best format to ensure the number of games when only six people participate. It is not deliberately aimed at...”
“What. Best format!
"It's not you who was embarrassed by throwing knives on the field! You put it lightly!!"
"Uh, Ruixin, calm down! The situation is not that bad!"
Mo Wei still tried to persuade:
“Now we have muddied the waters in public opinion about Rui Zhao’s suspected borrowing of Ni Jue’s flying knife!
“If Rui Zhao continues to use the knife this time , but it is an opportunity for us to further exploit the topic. She may not dare to do this again!
"Actually, if you look at it this way, it is a chance for you to face Rui Zhao in the King of Kings match!
" If Rui Zhao really beats you again, she will only deepen her own controversy in public opinion and prove more and more that she can always win. It is no coincidence that the flying knife is used in the key game!
"And if she doesn't use the sword, or if she uses the sword but is still defeated by you, that's the best time for us to launch a counterattack! So..."
"So what you mean Yes, you want me to come to her door again, right? ! ! ”
Lin Ruixin's roar became more intense.
In his opinion, the disastrous defeat in the quarterfinals of the Spring Orchid Cup was the most humiliating game in his life so far.
Don’t even ask him to go through it again, he can’t even recall it even if he thinks about it!
In this case, even if Mo Wei tried to persuade him with good words, Great Chess Master Lin couldn't listen to him at all!
The mentality that had finally stabilized after the Spring Orchid Cup suddenly surged violently:
"I don't care! I'm going to call Old Man Shang right now!
"Why do you qualify to be the king of kings even if you only win one game? I’ve never seen anyone so partial!
"I must tell him: This time the King of Kings will compete with her without me, with me without her!" (End of Chapter)
