Well...
She defeated Sui Jiangyong in the last round of preliminaries!
At seven o'clock in the evening on November 11, the capital city of South Korea.
Ryu Se-hyun, who was preparing for the LIG Cup early next month in his apartment, glanced at the qualifying results of the just-concluded Chinese Masters during a break in training and couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
After defending the title of [Zhaojun], the first Chinese women's title, Rui Zhao didn't take a moment to rest and celebrate. She went to Pengze City non-stop the next day to participate in the Masters qualifiers starting on the 10th.
After two days and four rounds of preliminaries, Zhao Tianhou successfully entered the main event of this Masters Tournament. The whole process was like taking a leisurely stroll.
However, the young master of the Liu family was not surprised by this result.
In his opinion, although Rui Zhao has not achieved any ideal results in the six months since the King of Kings Tournament, he is undoubtedly making continuous progress in terms of chess content.
Since the Yixian Tournament last year, Tianyuan, National Players, and the current Zhaojun of China have all successfully entered this tournament without exception. The number of times he has participated in the championship in one year has easily surpassed Shuangbi's entire career.
The only slight regret is that Rui Zhao's recent draw couldn't be any tougher. Three consecutive times in the first round, all the top ten players from China were selected, but unfortunately they were defeated.
Including the Tongge Cup in early July, although Rui Zhao defeated Masanaga Hanyu and Anmeijiao consecutively and advanced to the top 16. However, he encountered the final champion Lei Qi early in the top 16 and was eliminated early, which made Liu Shixian quite regretful.
Ah... I really look forward to meeting her in a competition again!
But next time, I may have to wait for the Dream Lily Cup which starts at the end of the year...
It's a pity that she couldn't be selected as a wild card for the Nongshim Cup!
Thinking of this, Master Liu suddenly felt a little regretful about his failure in the Chun Zhi Lan Cup and the Tong Ge Cup.
In this Nongshim Cup, China's Lei Qi is exempted from the selection, so there is no wild card. However, Rui Zhao did not have enough level points to participate in the preliminaries. The finisher of the last Nongshim Cup had to sit on the sidelines and watch this competition. The last four people who passed the pre-selection were Zhu Yuanjun, Xiong Siyi, Sun Yi, and Lang Haishen.
As for Lin Da's Internet celebrity... July was the time when he had just lost the chess master and was in the worst mood. It would be damned if he could still perform well in the Nongshim Cup qualifiers.
But when he thought of the Nongshim Cup, Liu Shixian suddenly remembered something.
Before the LIG Cup in early December, there is actually the second stage of the Nongshim Cup. In this Nongshim Cup, the Chinese team performed well.
Sun Yi has performed well in the past year and is vaguely the second player in China. However, considering his "strength and weakness analyzer" characteristics, the Chinese team still chose to let him play as a pioneer.
What makes the South Korean team even more embarrassed is that this time South Korea mentioned Xu Sangheng as the second forward, but it was of no use!
Huaxia Yixian made great progress, passing Anmeijiao, Seo Koji, Xu Xiangheng, and Yamagimoto Yoshimoto all the way, and directly ended the first stage by one person, with unparalleled momentum!
Indeed, just like Xie Minghe's miraculous reversal of one against three in the Nongshim Cup officially opened the glorious nine years of Chinese Go.
After the "Pink Miracle" in which Zhaojun killed the gods this year, Chinese Go, which was already in a deep trough, ushered in a very strong rebound this year!
Liu Shixian's originally gentle and playful expression froze slightly.
The second stage...let Brother Min Lie try again.
If that doesn't work...
Um.
Having made up his mind, Liu Shixian retracted his thoughts and refocused his attention on the Masters qualifying report coming from China, intending to see who Zhao Tianhou's opponent in the first round of the Masters was.
But when he saw it, Master Liu couldn't help but froze.
...Eh?
That little guy...
How could he enter this competition so quickly? !
…
…
"I finally met you, Rui Zhao!
"Just wait! In the first round of the Masters this time, I'm going to make you splash with blood for five steps!"
At the same time, Pengze City, China, Grand Blue Sky Hotel.
Rui Zhao, who had just successfully passed the qualifiers and was about to check out the brackets for this competition, was slightly startled when he saw a small conspicuous bag suddenly popping up in front of him with a tugging expression.
After all, it is still very confusing when someone you don't know suddenly comes to you and shouts "five steps of blood".
Zhao Tianhou stared at the little boy in front of her for several seconds, and then asked cautiously:
"Uh... that..." Sorry! Are you..."
"...Ah?!"
This soul questioning suddenly stunned the young boy who was still aggressive:
"No! How come you don't even know me?!
"I am Nie Yunyi!!!"
The boy's reaction made Rui Zhao's expression become more embarrassed, but those who don't know just don't know, so he had to force a smile and continue:
"Nie, Nie Yunyi...?
"...Hello, hello!
"I really haven't heard much about you before... This is your first time entering this tournament, right?"
"You...!"
The extremely natural and real confusion shown by Rui Zhao suddenly made Xiao Nie's fourth-level veins bulge and make him feel angry!
"No! Do you have any basic common sense!
"I am Nie Yunyi, the super star of the Suhu team and the recognized future hope of the Chinese chess world!!! I will be determined to be in the same class with you!
"We just played against your team in the last round of Siege, and almost beat Elder Du. Have you forgotten?!
"Including you often practice chess with Sun Yi?! He didn't mention me to you?!"
However, Rui Zhao still looked very confused in response to Nie Yunyi's series of self-introductions.
To be honest, she really didn't know who Nie Yunyi was.
In her eyes, the only thing she can do is to constantly seek advice from stronger people and pursue further truth.
Therefore, even though Xiao Nie has achieved a lot in the fourth dan this year, he is also a famous "little black fan of the queen" in the chess world.
But how could Empress Shoten pay more attention to a rookie from another team when even Uesaka Reina's Seiya took several days to send her blessings!
As for Sun Yi...he would naturally not bring up the matter of such a naughty leader in the team with his junior sister.
I hate the sponsor's father... No, I hate the sponsor's sister because she has such a good temper? !
As Rui Zhao continued to remain silent, the atmosphere at the scene finally broke through the critical point of embarrassment again.
Nie Yunyi, who originally planned to mess with his opponent's mentality as soon as he saw the matchup chart, was now flushed with red cheeks, looking like he was about to explode at any moment.
Although in the previous two games of Zhaojun's battle, Rui Zhao showed an overwhelming strength advantage over Yang Manjing, and there were no obvious mistakes in the whole game, which made Xiao Nie's fourth section quite frustrated during the live broadcast.
However, after analysis after the game, Nie Yunyi still felt that compared with the frequent sudden deaths of Zhaojun in the past six months, these two games may not be representative of female chess players.
It was probably because Rui Zhao, who had returned to the comfort zone of the women's game, that her psychological pressure was greatly reduced, was able to play two relatively perfect games.
Therefore, although I may have a slight disadvantage in terms of strength. But as long as you can disturb the opponent's mentality and put enough psychological pressure on the opponent, it is entirely possible that the opponent will suddenly suffer a serious illness again during the match with you!
With such a mentality, the little black fan of Zhao Tianhou immediately decided to give the opponent a kick! Let her experience a little shock from the new generation of "future number one"!
But who knows, the other party actually looks like he doesn't even know about him, which makes him look like a clown who is here to provoke! This really made Xiao Nie's fourth-level defense break!
"Okay...you don't know, do you!"
Nie Yunyi said with a trembling voice:
"Just wait for me!
"In the first round of the Masters this time, I will let you know who I am!!!"
After saying these harsh words, which were not actually very harsh, the young man strode away quickly, leaving the onlookers who had just gathered around to talk.
Ah...
It seems that I didn’t do it right and made people unhappy again...
What should I do...
Seeing the other party walking away angrily, Rui Zhao couldn't help but feel depressed and did some deep self-reflection in his heart. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Sun Yi, intending to ask his senior brother Yixian to introduce the details of this "super rising star of the Suhu team and the recognized future hope of the Chinese chess world."
After all, after she came here, she had suffered a lot from not understanding the situation. When she saw that the situation was wrong, she was determined not to do it again.
But...he just said that he would face him in the first round?
Then, let’s not talk about anything else!
This time...
It’s better to be gentle when doing it yourself! (End of chapter)
