Chapter 115 The Youngest Player
"'Little Witch'..."

Rui Zhao was not very familiar with the names of chess players in this world, but she reacted quickly to the sight of a female chess player with such a cool title.

"Ah! Is she the girl who was the first to be promoted to a professional dan among all the girls? I remember her name was... Yang Manjing, right?"

She remembered that this girl named Yang Manjing was promoted to professional professional at a very early age, at the age of ten years and one month, which directly set the earliest record for women in China.

However...it needs to be emphasized that this record is only for women.

Because there are two monsters among the men.

Like Ni Jue, he successfully qualified for the professional chess level at the age of nine years and ten months, making him the second youngest among all Chinese chess players.

As for the first one... well.

Who would have thought that the nine-year-old and nine-month-old little boy nearly forty years ago has now become an old man whose hair has turned gray from being busy in the Chinese Chess Association every day.

"Uh, how come such a famous person still feels like you reacted a little bit..."

Even though Rui Zhao's answer was correct, Ai Jianan still couldn't help but complain.

"Also, she is not only the first female player in China to be promoted to Dan, she also holds all the records for the youngest female second, third, fourth, and fifth Dan. She is only sixteen years old now, which is two or three years faster than the two female players!
"Among the new generation of female chess players, she is basically the only one who stands out. Everyone regards her as the successor to the two great masters!"

Hearing this, Rui Zhao's voice suddenly became excited - playing against strong opponents has always been his wish.

"Yeah! I want to play this game! It's a relief that you were able to date her, Sister An An!"

"Uh……"

Ai Jianan was speechless for a moment.

“To be honest, with your current fame, it’s not surprising for anyone to ask you out!

"Even I was a little surprised: the little witch always likes to join in the fun. You made such a big fuss on the Yiguo platform with the ID [Yi Zhao Qi Yi]. Logically, the little witch should have come to challenge you a long time ago!

"But I saw her comments on your Bilibili account, and it seems that she hasn't played with you yet."

Hearing this, Rui Zhao reacted and said with embarrassment:
"Ah...Is that so...

"Maybe she asked me out, but I rejected her..."

"Ah? Why?" Ai Jianan asked curiously.

Rui Zhao's voice was still awkward:
"At that time, I was thinking about beating Bai Yinhua, so I only thought about playing against high-level players...

"At that time, whenever I saw a pink ID invitation (the ID of a female profession is pink, which is different from the blue ID of ordinary professions and can be identified at a glance), I would directly refuse..."

Women's Go in China is now basically a situation of "two super and many strong".

Except for the two women's doubles who are almost at the level of men's 7th dan, the women's 7th dan is vacant, and the strength of the subsequent women's 6th dan and below is too much worse than that of the men's professional. Rui Zhao, who was preparing for the "City Cup" and had to chew a hard bone, naturally didn't want to play against them.

But Ai Jianan had a new problem:

"Hmm? What do you do if the two girls invite you?!"

"Aren't they both gold-powder IDs? I can tell at a glance!"

For the winner of the Women's World Championship, the Yigu platform will add a gold border to their pink ID, turning it into a gold-powder ID.

Among the currently active female chess players in China, there are only three who have won the Women's World Championship twelve times.

Among the active domestic chess players who hold the Gold Fan ID, there are only two female chess players who have each won the Women's World Championship twice, so they are highly recognizable.

"Oh...I forgot about that."

Ai Jianan, who had been in a blind spot for a moment, finally reacted.

"Then I can understand why the little witch came to me...

"Everyone knows... this kid has always been very competitive!"

...

...

"Jingjing, what's been going on with you these past few days?
"This preliminaries were really below par!"

Jinling City, Suhu Go Women's Team Training Base.

Liu Yuhong looked at the petite, long-haired girl in front of him, who was wearing a white T-shirt and a red dress with suspenders, and sighed.

A few days ago, she and two teammates came to Qiantang City from Jinling City to participate in the online preliminaries of the "Wu Yue Cup" World Women's Go Championship, and just returned to Jinling last night.

As a result, she came to question the "genius girl" in the team early this morning.

The "Wu Yue Cup" is one of the only two women's world championships currently held in China, and any female chess player with a little ability in the country will not miss it.

But in today's single-elimination tournament, Yang Manjing unexpectedly lost in the group final and failed to qualify for the round-robin qualifiers, which surprised many people - including Su Hu team captain Liu Yuhong.

You should know that in group qualifiers like this, there is a "seed system" in secret. All domestic strong players will be staggered into different groups to avoid strong players meeting in the same group too early and then being eliminated.

Therefore, correspondingly, the other opponents in each group will not be too strong. Logically, the strong players in each group should be able to suppress them firmly.

Yang Manjing is a 5th dan player, but she is still in the climbing stage and is probably stronger than many 6th dan female players. She is basically at the level of 7th dan and looking to 5th dan among the active female players in China. In theory, she should not fail in this qualifying tournament divided into twelve groups.

As a result, it really turned over yesterday!
Liu Yuhong was puzzled and thought that Yang Manjing made a key mistake in the group finals, which led to his failure. When he returned to Jinling last night, he quickly looked through the chess records, thinking about analyzing them for the three young players in the team.

But I never thought that this was not the case at all!

In the group final, Yang Manjing's performance was poor from the beginning and he fell far behind.

In the end, although they made up some ground thanks to the opponent's mistakes, they still lost in the end.

Shocked, Liu Yuhong quickly looked through Yang Manjing's previous games and found the same situation in every game, with many mistakes in layout and mid-game.

In other words, her opponents were relatively weak, which allowed her to seize the opportunity and successfully turn the tables. Otherwise, she would not have been able to make it to the final.

This situation was too abnormal. Considering that Yang Manjing seemed a little depressed these days, Liu Yuhong immediately realized that there was something wrong with the little girl in the team, so he made an appointment with the little witch to meet this afternoon.

Facing Liu Yuhong's question, Yang Manjing puffed up the corners of his mouth slightly and denied it flatly:

"I'm just not in good condition..."

Liu Yuhong frowned: "But you won't be able to participate in the 'Wu Yue Cup' like this!"

"No, there are still wild cards..."

The petite girl muttered.

Faced with the little witch's attitude, Liu Yuhong was quite troubled and spoke with a heavier tone:

"Jingjing! There are wild cards, but that's not a reason for you to play such a chess game!
"And if something goes wrong with other strong players in the round-robin selection, you may not be picked as a wildcard!

"Didn't I tell you before that you had something to tell me? Why are you holding it in your heart again?"

Liu Yuhong knew that the little witch was innocent and had a strong personality.

When she is happy, she is very obedient and energetic. She plays chess with great skill and ingenuity, and often turns ordinary things into something magical. Therefore, she is called the "little witch" by people in the circle.

But if something unpleasant happens... then it will become like this.

Moreover, they particularly like to keep their unhappy things to themselves, so others can hardly notice it, and only those close to them can notice it.

Yang Manjing was silent for a while, still pouting:
"It's nothing really... I just didn't put it down properly."

Liu Yuhong frowned and thought for a moment, then seemed to realize something. He lowered his body and spoke softly.

"Jingjing, I was sorry for not coming to celebrate your birthday with you last Saturday night, but I did have something to do. Can you forgive me?

"Or...I can spend one more time with you alone? Is that okay?"

Yang Manjing blinked and seemed to want to say something, but finally changed his words:

"Sister Yu Hong... I've already told you that I'm just not in good shape. I can just adjust myself..."

After hearing this answer, Liu Yuhong suddenly realized that he had not grasped the key point.

However, she also felt that it was most likely not because she missed her birthday - after all, when Yang Manjing participated in the Women's Go League competition the next day, although she seemed a little regretful, she was in very good shape and easily defeated the other three players.

Yang Manjing's mood and state have become bad, which has obviously happened in the past two or three days.

But Liu Yuhong had no more ideas at the moment, so he could only say:

"That's fine. Anyway, if you have anything you want to talk to me about, just come find me anytime. As long as I'm not competing, I'll be available."

Yang Manjing looked up at his commander, pursed his lips and said simply:

"Ah."

...

After a conversation, Liu Yuhong entered the online training room. Seeing that Liu Yuhong had completely left, Yang Manjing took out his phone, opened the B station app, and muttered in a low voice with great resentment:
"What do you mean you have something to do? You're just going to look for that guy named Rui Zhao!
"If Lin Ruixin hadn't said in a live broadcast a few days ago that you went to watch the 'City Cup', I wouldn't have known this was the case...

"And didn't Rui Zhao win a game against Bai Yinhua by cheating? I think her chess ability is just like that! And she hasn't even been promoted to a professional chess player at such an old age!

"She even rejected my invitation to play chess before... What kind of person is she? She won't back down again this time... Eh?

"She replied to me?! Tonight at 6:30?"

Yang Manjing, who was originally depressed, suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
