Um...the two of them...

It seemed like they had a lot of fun chatting before the game!

March 3th, the day of the Sanshuang Cup quarterfinal match.

At 12:45 noon, in the chess game room of Sanshuang Training Institute.

Xiao Lei, who had just sat down next to his chess table, glanced at Liu and Rui who were talking before the game not far away, and his mood couldn't help but fluctuate a little.

Although Lei Qi knew that her lover was always nice to everyone, even to Lin Ruixin who obviously had ill will towards her, she always believed that "the grudges on both sides had long been resolved"...

But every time Lei Qi saw Rui Zhao chatting happily with the strongest chess player in South Korea, he always felt a little sour in his heart.

Obviously...

She clearly said that she thought I was the best chess player...

As a result, he was so happy when he drew Liu Shixian the day before yesterday, and now his expression is so rich when chatting...

It’s like some scumbags who try to coax their wives by saying “you are the only one I love the most” with sweet words, but when the colorful flags are flying outside, they start to argue by saying “I do love you the most, but I never said I won’t love others”!
...What a big pig's hoof!!!

It’s okay before marriage, but after marriage I will definitely have a tantrum with her… No way!!!

What am I thinking about this time!!!
Lei Qi, Lei Qi! It’s because you always think about random things every day that she caught up with you so quickly, okay!!!

The current Chinese leader shook his head quickly, and refocused his thoughts on Go.

You have to know how much her strength has improved now!
In the game between her and Lin Ruixin the day before yesterday, she didn't even exert any effort and just defeated Lin Ruixin. There was not a single wrong move in the whole game!

Even after that game, [Lin the Chess Master is Special] lost another 100,000 fans in just two days, and the number of fans is about to fall below one million! It can be said that the fan base of the previous generation leader is almost wiped out!
With this kind of strength, there's no time for me to think about anything else!
It's true that I can't help myself sometimes...after all, I just like her very much!

After muttering to himself once more, China's reigning chess master refocused his mind, ready to enter the "flow" at any time to meet another challenge from the "strength identifier".

Lei Qi knew very well that since Rui Zhao had agreed to play against him in the Sanshuang Cup, there was no possibility of him being eliminated before then - even if his opponent was the executive vice GOAT
If something goes wrong on my side, then I would be a real clown!
...

...

"Okay, hello everyone, welcome to our [Go Xiao Zhao] live broadcast room to watch the competition for the quarterfinals of this Sanshuang Cup!

"I'm An An, it's been a while since I came here to explain the game to you all! Long time no see!"

At 12:55 p.m. on the same day, in the temporary live broadcast room of [Go Xiaozhao] at the Samshuang Training Institute in Kyoto, South Korea.

Ai Jianan, who was officially live-streaming here, naturally greeted the numerous followers of [Weiqi Xiaozhao] around the world through the camera:

“I believe everyone knows that in today’s quarterfinals we will have a very heavyweight match, that is, our celebrity Zhaojun Xiaozhao will face the South Korean leader and 15-time champion Liu Shixian 9th dan!

“Friends who have a little knowledge of the contemporary chess world know that this is undoubtedly a match of Mars colliding with the Blue Planet!
"Today we have invited our Shangguan Sheng, ninth dan, to the scene. Welcome everyone!"

"Uh... hello everyone! I'm Shangguan Sheng."

Shangguan Sheng greeted the camera with a little restraint.

In fact, to be honest, as a member of the [Second Rui Zhao Encirclement], it is not right for you to go on the opponent's live broadcast.

But unfortunately, because Comrade Xigou has not been eliminated yet, and Rui Zhao has drawn a strong opponent like Liu Shixian today, this quarterfinal match has suddenly attracted a lot of attention.

As a result, Ai Jianan felt that inviting Du Weichen to be a guest commentator like in the previous two rounds would not be very effective - after all, Elder Du's thoughts were really not up to par on the scene most of the time - so he invited the official who had just fought with Liu Shixian in the previous round.

It just so happened that recently, the official felt that his actions in following the encirclement against Rui Zhao were somewhat villainous and he felt a little guilty. Seeing that the other party had come to him, Shangguan Sheng finally decided to help the other party on stage for free, which could be considered as a way to save some moral merits and reduce the guilt of planning to block Rui Zhao, a great contributor to the promotion of Go. But at this time, helping was just helping, and the official would not withdraw from the fermented bean curd group's encirclement and suppression of Rui Zhao.

After all, he is still in good shape and has no plans to retire or move back to the second line for the time being. It would be too uncomfortable if he was mocked by the media every day as "deeply affectionate" and "not even as good as the Chinese national football team"!

After Shangguan Sheng greeted the camera, Ai Jianan naturally would not point to the introverted and calm official to bring up any topic, and immediately threw out the next words:
"The official record between the two is 6-5 so far, with Xiao Zhao having a slight advantage, and in the last five encounters, Xiao Zhao is on a 5-0 winning streak!
“However, although the recent record of matches between the two can be described as one-sided, it is important to note that in fact, the characteristics of the two sides’ respective victories in the eleven matches were very obvious.

"In a faster format than the standard 'two hours, one minute' slow chess, Xiao Zhao won all six times.

"In contrast, in all five standard slow chess matches, Liu won all of them.

"——Yes, in previous matches, Xiao Zhao had never been able to defeat Liu Shixian 9th Dan in a standard slow game. So, today's match might be a test for Xiao Zhao as well.

"I wonder what Shangguan Jiudan thinks about today's game?"

"...I am optimistic about Rui Zhao."

As a member of the fermented bean curd group who had been tortured to death by the contemporary Zhaojun, Shangguan Sheng came to the conclusion without any hesitation:
“You know, although Rui Zhao had never defeated Liu Shixian in standard slow chess before, the last time she played against Liu Shixian in slow chess was in the Miao Family Bailing Cup last September. At that time, Liu Shixian had to be very careful when dealing with Rui Zhao.

"In the past six months, Rui Zhao's progress has been incredibly fast! He won three Asian Games gold medals, two World Championships, and completed the Nongshim Cup ten consecutive victories!

"From the perspective of the quality of moves and the diversity of strategies and tactics, she has also greatly enriched and improved!

"Not only is his attack the best in the world, but I also feel his internal strength is close to Lei Liu's.

"Even like the game between Rui Zhao and me the day before yesterday, I feel that even when Lei Qi played with white in the semi-finals of the Chinese Weiqi League under the Chinese rules, he didn't push Lin Ruixin so hard!

“Although there are always some noises saying that Rui Zhao relied on flying knives and fast chess to win the championship, those who know the business know that this is all nonsense!

"We, the top male chess players who have to face her at any time, know exactly how terrifying Queen Zhaotian is!
"Like me, I consider myself to be one of the hardest working top players, so I am still in pretty good shape now that I am in my thirties.

"How can we compare with Rui Zhao, who can compete with high school students every day, and is willing to do so and never gets tired of it?!
"So everyone keeps asking why we can't do anything about Rui Zhao. It's really like 'If I'm not a man, I won't work hard, but the queen is Gundam'..."

“Ahh, Shangguan Jiudan!

"It looks like the game has already started. How about we start explaining the game?"

Seeing that the usually calm official started to complain and talk nonstop, Ai Jianan interrupted him without giving him any more time.

It was only then that "Shi Yi Guan" realized that he had said too much. He was about to say that he felt that Liu Shixian had made too many mistakes recently, so he quickly stopped and said:

“Ahh, okay!

"Look at the chess first, look at the chess!"

"Uh-huh!"

After responding, Ai Jianan evened out his tone and then began today's explanation:
"The result of the previous guess is that Liu Shixian, 9th dan, plays black, and Xiao Zhao plays white. Now let's get into the game.

"Both sides started with two consecutive stars against two consecutive stars, and then each side selected a three-three. After using the same simple pattern, Liu Jiudan, who took the initiative, chose to hang on the upper left.

"Xiao Zhao made a low pass, the black piece counter-passed, the white piece escaped first and hung in the lower right corner, and the black piece also escaped first and jumped up in the upper left!

"Then when White jumped and responded... Wow! Liu Shixian made a very rare move that directly hit the first choice!
"In the 21st move, Liu Jiudan directly hit it from the inside!

"It's obvious that he is prepared for this part!" (End of this chapter)
