Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

"Hello, Uesaka 6th Dan! First of all, I would like to congratulate you on winning the runner-up in this Fan-Air Contest!

"But in the final you still lost to South Korea's Kim Woo-eun, 9th dan, and failed to become another female world champion in our country after Xia Chuan Aoi, 7th dan.

“We also know that at the media meeting before the final of this Fan-Air Battle, you announced that you would withdraw from all women’s individual competitions after this Fan-Air Battle.

"Will the disappointing result of the final make you change your mind?

"After all, unlike Yang Manjing, you have not been able to end your career in women's events with a Women's World Championship. Judging from your current rate of improvement, it is only a matter of time before you surpass Jin Jiudan."

"Ah... that's definitely not the case.

"Although I really hope to win a women's world championship for Japan, it is really difficult for me to stay in the women's event now.

"Due to some historical reasons, the overall level of female chess players has been significantly lower than that of male players in the past, but they have not yet fully caught up.

"If we, the new generation of female chess players, want to continue to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors and prove that women are absolutely as talented as men in the game of Go, we can no longer stay in the greenhouse, but need to fight in more intense competitions! Only in this way can we correct the prejudice of the Go community against female chess players as soon as possible!
"Sister Rui Zhao decisively withdrew from all women's individual competitions after participating in her first Weiqi League... ah, should I say, before the end of her first season of China Weiqi League. It is generally believed that one of the reasons why she has made such rapid progress in the past two years is that she has focused on high-level unlimited competitions.

"With such an example in front of me, it would be a shame if I didn't follow suit!"

"Ah, okay, it seems that you, 6th Dan Uesaka, have very high standards for yourself!

"Since you mentioned focusing on high-level competitions, we noticed that this afternoon, the South Korean Chess Institute announced the list of participants for this year's Samshuang Cup. In the end, you were successfully selected with the wild card qualification!
"For the upcoming Sanshuang Cup, what are your goals or prospects?"

“First of all, I feel really flattered!
"After all, as a young chess player, it is a great honor to be able to receive wild cards for multiple world championships in succession.

“Of course, I must also be aware that my level is still a long way from the World Championships. It is too early to propose specific performance goals now.

"If I have to give a specific goal, I hope to take advantage of these competition opportunities to improve my strength as soon as possible, so that I won't have to trouble the organizers of the competition to save me!"

"Ah, Uesaka 6th Dan, you don't have to set such high standards for yourself! You should know that Rui Zhao 9th Dan also had the experience of being selected as a wildcard for the World Championships two or three times!
“And the reason why the organizers were willing to give you a wild card was largely because of your outstanding performance among your peers, 6th Dan Uesaka, and the extra attention you brought to the tournament.

"Finally... let's talk about a relatively sensitive issue! It's about the number one person!

"I don't know if you've noticed, but ever since the Chinese Weiqi League playoffs ended and your Pohu team won the championship with three female players, this result has quickly sparked heated discussions around the world!

"Among them, Rui Zhao 2th Dan is considered by many to be a strong candidate for the world's best player. And as you have won the direct match against Nie Yunyi with a record of 0-, many people believe that you are already in the leading position in the competition of the new generation.

"I wonder who you think is the best player in the world, and how do you view the competition between you and Nie Yunyi, the seventh dan?"

"Ah... speaking from a personal point of view, I would definitely prefer Rui Zhao 9th Dan.

"I have always disagreed with the so-called 'world championship only theory'. In my opinion, the Asian Games men's individual events and the Nongshim Cup are very important international competitions, and domestic competitions in China are also of great reference value.

"Since last year's Miao Jia Bailing Cup, Rui Zhao 9th Dan has won six championships, one runner-up and three gold medals in the Asian Games, Huaxia Changqi Cup, Huaxia Celebrity Tournament, LIG ​​Cup, Huaxia Yixian Tournament, World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament, Nongshim Cup and Huaxia Weiqi League. He only missed the championship in the Huaxia Yixian Tournament by one move. This dominance is terrifying.

"If my achievements in the past six months cannot be called the best, I think it is impossible to choose a best in the chess world in the past.

"As for the so-called competition between me and Nie Yunyi, 7th Dan... I think it's too early.

"Although I have won two games against him recently, as a young chess player, my goal should still be to compete with more outstanding predecessors such as Rui Zhao 9th Dan, Liu Shixian 9th Dan, Lei Qi 9th Dan, etc., rather than competing with my peers for a short period of time."

"Hmm, it can be seen that Uesaka 6th Dan is already a very mature and outstanding chess player!

"After the finals of the Weiqi League, Lei Qi 9th Dan publicly stated in an interview that you are a very respectable opponent and he will go all out next time he faces you.

“It is precisely because of this statement that many people compared this game with the match between Rui Zhao and Liu Shixian in the 2024 Tongge Cup Round of 32!
"I believe that you, 6th Dan Uesaka, will definitely be able to follow in the footsteps of that fast chess Athena and become a leader of the generation!"

"Okay, thank you, reporter sister!"

……

……Well……

It seems that little Uesaka is much more mature than little Nie when being interviewed... 3 pm on March 20, Muhu Go Dojo in Dongjiang City.

After watching an interview video that his teacher had just forwarded to him, Sun Yi said something in his heart the first time, but he didn't know why Yu Qingguang suddenly sent this to him.

He came to visit his parents and teachers a day in advance today, taking advantage of the opportunity to fly from Dongjiang to South Korea to participate in the Sanshuang Cup tomorrow. However, Yu Qingguang sent him a video after they exchanged a few words, which made him feel a little puzzled.

At this time, seeing that the students had finished reading, Yu Qingguang, who was sitting in front of Sun Yi, smiled and said to the captain of the Suhu team:

"How about it?
"What do you think of this girl compared to the little guy on your team?"

"Ah?! Uh...

"Are you talking about chess skills or something else?"

"Let's talk about chess and other things besides the board!"

"Well……"

Sun Yi, who had now almost completely gotten rid of his impetuosity, hesitated for a moment and gave his opinion truthfully:

“In terms of chess skills, I think Xiao Nie is definitely not inferior to Uesaka Rei.

“Although the record between the two teams is 0-2, to be honest, there are actually external factors that affect the game…

"Although Xiao Nie is a little older than her, he is only three months older, and Uesaka Rei is also being cultivated by the Dongying Chess Academy. I think Xiao Nie is really no worse than Uesaka Rei!
"But if you're talking about off-the-board... uh...

"It's true that girls mature earlier than boys!"

In front of the teacher, Sun Yi did not beat around the bush. After a pause, he spoke out like a bamboo tube pouring beans:
"Although their chess skills are roughly the same, if we really look at them from the perspective of 'future leaders', the difference between their off-board performances is like heaven and earth!

"Uesaka Rei was thrown into the spotlight at a young age, and has been subject to a lot of criticism since she was intensively trained. As a result, this child has taken steady steps.

"Not only is she very calm, but I heard that she moved to the South Korean Go Academy and came to our place to participate in the Women's Go League and the Go League. It was all her own strong request. She is a young talent of her generation! Compared with her, those so-called 'new go players' in Japan are nothing but chickens and dogs!
"In this Weiqi League, not only did Xiao Shangsaka defeat Xiao Nie head-on in the semi-finals, he also held back the overconfident Lei Qi in the most crucial finals. While making great contributions to the team, he also completely cut off any possibility of the opponent's main general getting his hands on the Most Valuable Player!

"Whether in the Pohu team or the Dongying Chess Academy, he always looks like the 'young master of the family' and the 'future pillar'!

"Looking back at the one on our team... uh...

"It's just like the big gray wolf who only knows how to shout 'I'll be back again'!"

Talking about his own young players, the captain of the Su Hu team shook his head while speaking.

"...Although his grades are improving during normal times, he is so crazy at critical moments! He is almost cut from the same cloth as his idol!
"Although there was a highlight moment when he defeated Fang Zhaoxiang head-on in the second round of the playoffs and made great contributions to our team's entry into the semi-finals. But in the blink of an eye, he was quickly defeated by Kosaka in the second round of the semi-finals!
"It doesn't matter if he lost, but he still had to run out shouting his signature lines. I was a little upset at the time, and I'm sure Uncle Tuo and Ying Yalou weren't in a good mood either...

"In the end, no one in our team blamed him for this, and he became inexplicably withdrawn! Recently, he even stopped playing online chess, and I don't know what he was doing in the dormitory all day..."

For a moment, Sun Yi felt a headache the more he thought about it. He sighed helplessly and said:

"Hey! How can I play Chinese Go well with such a conspicuous bag?

"If this continues, I feel that what the liberal media overseas say is not without reason!"

"Hmm... do you think so too?"

After hearing this, Head Coach Yu groaned, but this sentence made Sun Yi, who was only planning to liven up the atmosphere, a little stunned:
"Ah, ah? 'You think so'?
"Uh... no, Mr. Yu, I was just joking with you!"

But who would have thought that at this moment, Old Yu Jiudan rolled his eyes at the other party and said:

“…Are you kidding?
"These girls are not joking with you now!" (End of this chapter)
