"For Xiao Nie?"

Lu Wenjie was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted.

Indeed, as two of the most outstanding representatives of the "post-10" chess players in the world chess arena, the competition between Nie Yunyi and Uesaka Rei for the next generation's number one player is undoubtedly another hot topic in recent public opinion around the world, in addition to "whether Rui Zhao is already the world's number one player".

There is no doubt that judging from the situation in recent months, Ko Uesaka, who has defeated his opponent twice in a row and defeated strong players such as Takuya Ichijo and Peng Wendong in the World Championships, has the upper hand in the competition.

There are even many people who regard the recent suppression of Nie Yunyi by Kamisaka Rei as another solid proof that "women's Go talent is stronger than men's", which naturally caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on the young players of the Suhu team.

The reason why Sun Yi wanted to kill this time was obviously because he wanted to kill the opponent and give his young player some confidence. But he didn't know that his "strength and weakness detector" would become the opponent's experience pack!
Sixteen-year-old World Championship quarterfinals...

This sign is indeed worrying.

"Uh, brother, I feel...

"Should we allocate more resources to Nie Yunyi and Zhu Han?"

After thinking for a while, Lu Wenjie put forward his own suggestion:
"Otherwise, it would be so difficult for Rui Zhao and Lei Qi's generation to be the only one that stands out, but if the post-10 generation is overtaken by the Japanese Uesaka, I'm afraid...

"...situations similar to Liu Shixian will occur again."

"Well……"

After hearing his deputy's reminder, Shang Chaotian, who had just sat back in his chair, pondered for a while.

Although it seems extremely sudden that Kamisaka Rei has defeated two Chinese 9th-dan players in a row to enter the top eight of the World Championship, in fact, there is a precedent for this in the Go sport, which has always emphasized accumulation over time!
At the age of sixteen, it may indeed be the time when one suddenly achieves great results.

Lin Ruixin, Ni Jue, Dai Ran...all entered the ranks of top chess players at this age, and even Lang Haishen was crowned world champion at this age!
Even Li Junyan and Liu Shixian, who are generally considered not to be the most talented among the top chess players, made it to the quarterfinals of the World Championships at the age of sixteen!
In the end, Old Li, who was generally worried about gains and losses, was firmly suppressed by China's sharp and thick golden generation of the "post-90s".

But the young master of the Liu family has become a nightmare for Chinese Go in recent years! It was not until Rui and Lei grew up that Chinese Go was freed from the nightmare.

And this moment is just like that moment.

At that point in 2016, Chinese Go players, with a surge in talent and completely suppressing their old rival South Korea, were full of confidence and believed that the world Go world was about to irreversibly enter the Chinese era.

And that extremely hardworking young master of the Liu family is nothing more than a footnote and foil to the many geniuses born from China's huge population base. He is not worth mentioning!
But the result...

Ok.

Therefore, it is normal for Lu Wenjie, who has experienced this before, to be wary of the extraordinary strength shown by Uesaka Rei.

“…What you said does make sense.

"I will have a good discussion with the city of Gezhou about the wildcard quota for the Tongge Cup World Championships."

After a few brief seconds, Shang Chaotian, knowing the pros and cons, quickly made a decision.

But after making the decision, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but sigh:
"But...it's amazing that Japan and South Korea can still produce rookies of this level when the domestic Go situation is not very optimistic!

"In fact, Xiao Nie has been in the Weiqi League one year earlier than Uesaka Rei. In terms of starting point, he is definitely not worse than Uesaka Rei.

"But who would have thought that it would be the younger girl Uesaka Rei who would achieve the first result!
“This really makes me hard to say what to say!”

"Brother Tian, ​​you also have to see who both sides are taking as their role models!"

Hearing this, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but remind:
"Xiao Shangban originally requested to join the Pohu women's team just to learn from Rui Zhao up close.

"And after that, he always compared himself with Rui Zhao! Whenever he was in doubt, he would look to his own commander to see what he would do. It was like 'crossing the river by feeling the way'!
"Plus, the Dongying Chess Institute has invested almost all its resources, so it's not surprising that it has achieved such results!
"Looking back at our 'post-10' leader, although he is generally considered hardworking, I have to say that he is indeed a die-hard fan of Lin Ruixin, and his ability to stir up trouble is also top-notch!

"Not only do I have grudges against the three girls from the Pohu team, but I also create situations that make people laugh and cry from time to time!
"Look, he signed up as a volunteer again for the Spring Orchid Cup for no apparent reason! The tournament management department tried to persuade him to withdraw but he refused to listen!
"Little Uesaka is in the next World Championship, where is our little Nie?

"Our little Nie is doing odd jobs for the World Competition!
"I'm almost laughing out of anger!"

At the end of the conversation, Lu Wenjie, who always paid attention to his words, couldn't help but swear, which showed how disappointed he was!
"Later...I'll talk to Xiao Nie!

"See if you can get him to behave better!"

Seeing his deputy muttering loudly, Shang Chaotian expressed his opinion at the right time. But who knew that Lu Wenjie's next words would choke him and leave him speechless for a long time:

"Brother Tian...

"Didn't we talk to Lin Ruixin enough back then?"

"...

"Lin Ruixin...it's such a pity!"

After a moment of silence, Shang Chaotian's voice of regret was the first to be heard:

"Looking at his game today, I can clearly feel his style as the 'zero-defeat Lin Bai' back then!
"But why... "Do you have to wait until now to remember to work hard?"

...

...

“… Queen of Heaven, Queen of Heaven!
"Listen to my explanation!

"There is a reason for this defeat, Queen!

"I didn't expect that Lin Dazui would be in such good shape this time! I really tried my best!

"If you encounter him in your next game, please be careful!

"I'm giving you a little warning of the mines!"

"Ah, that... I, I understand, Brother Zeng!

"I just looked at the game records, and I feel that Lin Jiudan is in really good form recently.

"What's more, in today's game, Lin Jiudan guessed that the white chess piece was played - Lin Jiudan's white chess piece under the Chinese rules should be one level stronger!

"Brother Zeng, you played at your best in this game. I think it was great!"

“Y-Really?!

"I will never forget your generosity and kindness, Queen of Heaven!
“That’s it…

"Look, I can start a live broadcast now so that you can say a few good words for me in front of my fans so that I can get the bones... No! So that I can clear my name?
"Otherwise, I can't bear the blame for failing to protect my master, Queen..."

……Well……

In this Spring Orchid Cup... Lin Ruixin is in really good shape!

At 6pm on the same day, in the auditorium of Hailing Hotel, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of this Spring Orchid Cup will be held.

Liu Shixian, who was waiting in the player's seat, glanced at the light comedy performed by Rui Zhao and his main pet, and then looked at the chess record of Lin Zeng and his partner's quarterfinal match on the tablet in his hand. He couldn't help but give them a small compliment in his heart.

Zeng Guangwen defeated Lin Ruixin twice in the Sanshuang Cup qualifiers and the Huaxia Tianyuan Tournament recently, so many people predicted that the Queen's Dog would most likely make a contribution for her master again this time. But who knew that the direction of the game was completely different from what everyone expected!
In this game, Lin Ruixin, who played white chess, showed a very high level that had not been seen for a long time. He took the initiative in the whole game and finally played until 212 moves, forcing Xiaotian Dog, who was helpless, to resign and admit defeat!

Looking at the whole game, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that Lin Ruixin defeated Zeng Gou - after all, the winning rates of both sides fluctuated in the second half of the game, but the winning rate of white chess remained above 60%.

But we must admit that Lin Ruixin still gives people a glimpse of the shadow of his peak period!

In the first round, he easily defeated his old rival Li Tingyan with black, and in the second round, he defeated Zeng Guangwen, who was already in the top ten of China, with white... The outstanding performance in two consecutive games has proved that the current outstanding performance of the former Chinese leader is not accidental!
Like Rui Zhao's judgment, Liu Shixian also felt that one of the "big demons" in his youth, now in his thirties, actually had a sense of last gasp!
He is truly worthy of being called “the most gifted person”!
After sighing in his heart, Liu Shixian, who was already very relaxed about the World Championships, couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the previous generation of Chinese chess master who was over 30 years old.

However, at this moment, Lin Ruixin did not notice the young master of the Liu family's gaze at all, and there was not even a trace of excitement on her face for successfully taking revenge on Zeng Guangwen and reaching the quarterfinals.

He just swiped the tablet in his hand with an expressionless face, and on the screen was the chess game in which Rui Zhao crushed Xu Lifan today!

what……

In front of Rui Zhao, I had already given up on winning another World Championship...

The strongest chess player in South Korea shook his head slightly, with an indescribable regret flashing in his eyes.

As a result, Lin Ruixin...

Are you still dreaming unrealistic dreams?
...

...

Twenty minutes later, the draw for the quarterfinals of this year's Spring Orchid Cup was completed in the auditorium of Hailing Hotel.

As if fate had played a little joke on us, one of the top eight teams in this year's Spring Orchid matchup was exactly the same as the last one...

At this moment, just as at that moment.

The 2027 Spring Orchid Cup quarterfinals matchups are as follows:
[Lei Qi] vs. [Uesaka Rei]

【Liu Shixian】 vs 【Chu Jun】

[Shangguan Sheng] vs. [Ichijo Takuya]

【Lin Ruixin】 vs 【Rui Zhao】
