"Hmm... this stereotype is rare..."

At the same time, in Yuzhou City, China, at Dai Ran’s home.

Seeing Rui Zhao, who was holding white, coming over from the lower right in the 18th move, Dai Gongzhi, who was chatting with his teammates on the microphone, simply commented:
"Here, in general, facing the white chess piece's move, the black chess piece must hold it, but Sun Yi quickly made a flying pressure move in the lower left corner...

"I feel like he's prepared."

"Well, it should be!"

Ji Qiujuan's voice in the microphone responded:

“So just now, when faced with Rui Zhao’s move to give up the diagonal position, he decisively placed his pieces in the diagonal position without any fear!
"He is now facing the White chess piece's pressure and clamping move, and he is making a series of pulls. His moves are very fast and strong at the same time, and each move is carefully chosen. He must have prepared for this layout!"

"Ah."

Dai Ran looked at the screen and nodded slightly, but soon chuckled and shook his head:

"only……

"Sun Yi was prepared for this unpopular move on the lower right, but it seems Rui Zhao is also familiar with it!"

Indeed, just as Dai Ran said.

Although the formation on the lower right is not very typical, the two top masters have demonstrated their extremely profound basic skills here, and their moves are both very fast and every one is very well chosen!
The AI ​​winning rate curve is stretched like a perfect horizontal line, without any obvious deviation to either side!
"Hmm... I was originally thinking of showing off my research on the layout of this place, but it seems there's no need to do so now!"

At this time, Ji Qiujuan saw that both sides' layout and performance were like AI machines, and he also expressed his sincere admiration, but his tone of admiration was mixed with a few other indescribable emotions.

Seeing that neither side was likely to make a mistake in the short term, Ji Qiujuan paused for a moment and asked the eldest brother in his team:
"Oh, by the way, Brother Dai, I have something to tell you...

"I should get the certificate in the second half of the year."

"……Eh?"

Hearing this, Dai Ran, who was usually serious, showed a rare look of surprise on his face, and then he couldn't help but smile slightly and raised his eyebrows:
"Looking at you...has this been going on for a long time?"

"Ah."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I didn't see you, Brother Dai, so I didn't look for you. I was afraid of irritating you!"

“It’s not that serious!
"If I want to find one, it only takes a minute to put on a wig!"

Dai Ran rarely complained to the other party, then paused and asked directly:
"Do you feel... a little bit unable to roll?"

"That's right."

Ji Qiujuan answered truthfully, with a hint of bitterness in her tone:
“After all, my determination and concentration in Go are still a little lacking!

"Originally, it would have been fine if there was only Lei Qi, but now there's also Rui Zhao who is even more ruthless... Even Chu Jun, Yang Manjing and the others have caught up!

"Instead of being indecisive like before, it's better to make a decision early and not delay the girl and yourself."

"...Yes, you are right."

Dai Gong had no objection to the choice of his teammates.

Ji Qiujuan's intention, of course, was not to retire directly at such a prime year - if that were the case, the Yuzhou team would be so old and weak that they would probably have to consider the issue of relegation.

But since he chose to get married, he inevitably has to devote some of his energy to his family. It will be even more difficult to launch an attack on the World Cup. It can be said that he has given up his obsession with winning the World Cup.

Go is, after all, a very cruel competitive sport. Not every talented and hardworking player has the opportunity to win the world championship.

There are people like Lei Jingming and Sun Yi who seize the fleeting opportunity to fulfill their long-cherished wish, and there are naturally also people like Yu Qingguang and Ji Qiujuan who pursue their wish desperately but ultimately fail to achieve their goal.

At this moment when the first four generations are like a solid wall and the new generation is growing up rapidly, it is a good decision to retreat bravely, rather than constantly putting pressure on yourself and making your youth go by in vain and unable to finish...

It can even be said that it is the most understandable decision.

After all, the vast majority of people are not Rui Zhao.

It is precisely because of this that Rui Zhao appears so special...

Dai Ran straightened his words a little and continued to comfort him:

“…And don’t lose heart!

"Maybe if I relax, I will have another chance to win the World Cup someday.
"My third crown was actually like this too!"

"Ah... then I appreciate your good words, Brother Dai!"

Both sides simply exchanged a few words of comfort and courtesy, and both sides knew that the other side was comforting and polite.

As top players, they know only too well how pure Go is.

Seeing that the topic was still somewhat heavy, Dai Ran immediately changed the subject to the happy event:

"that……

“Since we’re getting the marriage certificate in the second half of the year, when will we hold the wedding?

"Although I don't like going to banquets, I will definitely go to yours."

"Ah... well...

"I don't think it will be done in the short term..."

“Huh? You don’t know how to do it?” Dai Ran couldn’t help but look surprised:
"Would your girlfriend agree to this?"

"Actually, she was the one who suggested it..."

There was a hint of helplessness in Ji Qiujuan's voice:

"After the Weiqi League is over, aren't we going to go to the Qiyuan to play the preliminaries for the Sanshuang Cup? Then she and I will treat you, Brother Dai, to a meal in Dajing!

"I will tell you the details in person when the time comes, Brother Dai!"

"So weird? That's fine!"

Seeing that Ji Qiujuan had no intention of saying anything more in the live broadcast, Dai Ran, who didn't notice anything wrong, brought the topic back to the chess game:
"Well... I think Rui Zhao and Sun Yi have memorized the whole score!
“After forty moves, the AI’s win rate curve remains unchanged!
"I guess Sun Yi, who deliberately led the group to this stereotype, might also be impressed by his junior sister's basic skills!"

"Well……

"Rui Zhao's basic skills are good..."

Ji Qiujuan's voice came slowly, as if she had noticed something was wrong:
"But I think even so, Sun Yi still has the advantage in this round."

...

...

"Uh... Old Yu!

"You mean you think Sun Yi's layout is advantageous?!"

Twenty minutes later, in Dongjiang City, China, at the Muhu Go Dojo.

After hearing Yu Qingguang's opinion, Lao Lei, who was watching the game with his old friends as usual, was quite surprised:
"But judging from the AI's win rate, both sides are still basically at their initial win rates!"

Just as Lei Jingming said, after completing a whole, very unpopular large-scale pattern in the lower right, the two sides exchanged a few moves on the left side, and then started the pattern in the upper right.

However, in the last twenty moves, there was no fierce fighting between the two sides. They just each fought for key points. Even if there was some friction due to the changes in the upper right corner, it was quickly resolved peacefully and each side got what they needed.

At this time, the game between Sun Yi and Rui Zhao had reached the 61st move, with Black's winning rate at 43.2%, basically the same as at the beginning of the game. So far, there has been no obvious advantage or disadvantage between the two sides.

Therefore, Lao Lei, the 9th Dan, can be said to disagree with Yu Qingguang's statement that Sun Yi has an advantage in layout.

"…In terms of winning rate, that's true, but in terms of the progress of the game, that's not true."

Seeing that his friend disagreed, Yu Qingguang, who had just carefully analyzed the situation, sighed and explained:
"Everyone knows what Rui Zhao's strongest point is? It's the unrivaled fighting and killing!

“But if you want to fully utilize this ability, then you naturally hope that the opponent has weak and isolated pieces on the board.

"But up to now, both sides have been playing very steadily, and Monkey King has been very intentional about not taking radical actions, not letting any piece be left alone!
"Rui Zhao has no obvious point of force at the moment! I guess he can only attack Zhigu to disrupt the situation!"

"Well, I agree with Lao Yu's opinion."

At this time, Li Wangyuan also nodded and said:
"I personally feel that Rui Zhao may have been playing too much chess recently, and the rhythm of this game is a bit out of tune! The layout is a bit too gentle!

"I think it's okay for her to play against other chess players, but Sun Yi is different! His strength is half a level stronger than the average Weiqi League main general-level chess players!

"If she wanted to beat Sun Yi before, she had to create some rhythm. Looking at the situation now, she will probably have to fight harder later..."

"Let's fight! It's like my students have never fought before!"

Seeing that Yu and Li were not optimistic about their students, Lao Lei Jiudan immediately spoke out to express his support:

"In the first game of the Changqi Cup final last year, Rui Zhao was able to kill Sun Yi with three remaining pieces!
"I feel like her skills have improved over the past six months. There's no reason why she can't handle Monkey King!"

"Hey, don't be so anxious, Lao Lei!"

Head Coach Yu immediately tried to smooth things over:

"I am just stating an objective fact. I am not saying Rui Zhao has no chance! On the contrary, I feel that this contemporary killing god is planning something big like 'Death Coming'!

"Next... let's see what radical means Rui Zhao will use to turn the situation upside down!"

While several teachers were waiting, the battle between Rui Zhao and Sun Yi was proceeding slowly.

In the 62nd move, White made a move to the lower left, and then stayed there without any radical moves.

Afterwards, facing the black pieces' attack from the top, Rui Zhao flew and jumped, forming a simple pattern.

After that, both sides continued to fight for the key points in the overall situation, and a few pieces with a little bit of interest were connected back.

And when the black chess piece made a stand in the upper right in the 99th move and started to make endgame moves, the white chess piece made a small flying move to the middle of the belly in the 100th move without any panic.

The "King of Killing" who had frightened the entire chess world seemed to have attained enlightenment today. He did not show any signs of the "radical tactics" that the three people had just mentioned, and the entire board was calm and peaceful...

Seeing this, Lao Lei Jiudan, who had been hesitant to speak since just now, finally couldn't help himself...

"this……

"What's going on?!"

Lei Jingming's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he was indescribably puzzled:

"Why didn't Rui Zhao make any moves today?!

"Is it really Chunchun and Sun Yi who are playing the floor-laying game?!!" (End of this chapter)
