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

"...I'm so angry!!!"

Meanwhile, at the Sansou Training Institute, in the rest room of the Toyo team.

At this moment, Kosaka completely lacked the composure he usually displayed as the "young master of Japan." Instead, he sat on the sofa, vigorously pounding his thighs with both hands, his face flushed red, and muttering in frustration:

"Sister Rui Zhao just said she was entrusting her future to me, but I can't even beat Lin Da Zui!"
"Is there no justice left in this world?!"

Yes, the reason why Kosaka was so unhappy was because in today's round of 16, facing Lin Ruixin, the former leading figure of China and the famous rival of Zhao Tianhou, the young master of Japan, who had been in excellent form recently and was highly anticipated, failed to advance further and fell outside the quarterfinals.

In fact, Uesaka held an absolute advantage in today's match - when the draw results came out yesterday and she learned that her opponent in this round was Lin Ruixin, a famous "anti-Zhao" figure, Uesaka Rei was full of energy!

She was determined to prove herself worthy of the "future trust" bestowed upon her by the eternal Zhaojun with a resounding victory! To this end, she made extremely thorough preparations and truly went all out!

In the initial stages, both sides maintained a stable and uneventful approach.

But when Lin Ruixin's white stones made a move on the upper left star point, Uesaka Rei, who had thoroughly studied this local area, decisively chose to make an outside move!
Then she unleashed an extremely tricky and unexpected second-lane push! Lin Ruixin clearly hadn't anticipated this move, and with a casual flick, the AI ​​was instantly hit, its win rate plummeting to below 30%!
Uesaka Rei, however, pressed her advantage relentlessly, using precise calculations and fierce attacks to relentlessly pursue and attack!
By move 70, Black's winning percentage had reached over 90%! Lin Ruixin's White had already connected!
Just when almost all the spectators thought that Kogami, the most outstanding representative of the "post-10s" generation, was about to use a resounding victory to completely crush this veteran Chinese player who had been like a leech to Athena of the Go world for the past two years... an unexpected event occurred!

Perhaps she became careless due to her advantage, or perhaps her eagerness to win caused her mentality to fluctuate... After entering the middle game, Uesaka Rei, who held a huge advantage, made a careless move in the middle of the game!
This seemingly insignificant move helped White instantly strengthen its previously weak center! White's position suddenly took a crucial turn for the better!
Lin Ruixin, who had been struggling and resisting like an old lion king, also keenly seized this fleeting opportunity!

Using the unexpected advantage he gained in his central area, he launched attacks in all directions, initiating a chaotic melee! Uesaka Rei was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack and had no choice but to hastily prepare for battle!
The two sides engaged in fierce fighting in the center and lower parts of the board, and for a time the board was filled with the smoke of battle and the glint of swords!
However, once everything settled down and the dust settled, after the exchange of stones in the upper right and lower left corners, Black actually lost more! The situation had been reversed!

Finally, after 236 moves, seeing that the gap on the board was irreversible, Uesaka Rei reluctantly resigned!

The fact that she had personally sent her idol's arch-rival into the top eight was something that Kosaka found hard to accept.

Not only did he remain sullen and sitting by the chessboard for a long time after the match ended, but even more than half an hour after the match ended, he still couldn't calm down!

"It was so close...it was so close!"

Uesaka Rei's voice trembled with a slight sob as she waved her small fists incessantly.

"As long as we take down this Lin Dazui, we'll definitely get a pat on the head and praise when we see Sister Ruizhao next time..."

"Now it's all gone! Waaah..."

"Li-chan... there's no need to be so angry, is there?"

Seeing the frustrated look on his successor's face, Ichijo Takuya, sitting to the side, wore a gentle, helpless smile and calmly offered his words of comfort:
"Lin Jiuduan is also very strong!"
"Not only did you advance from the Sanshuang Cup qualifiers in China with a perfect record, but you also swept Park Minyeol 9-dan in the first round yesterday... I think Li-chan, you performed very well today too!"

"what!"

Uesaka Rei immediately retorted, her voice filled with resentment:
"He's already an old man in his thirties!"
"For a professional Go player, at this age, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're practically half-buried!"

"Uh……

"No, you can't say that!"

Upon hearing this, Ichijo Takuya's lips twitched almost imperceptibly—after all, he was also Lin Ruixin's peer.

This is this...

These girls who watched Empress Zhao grow up are really energetic...

They're already shouting, "The older generation, step aside!"
The Japanese Go master couldn't help but mutter a little to himself.

However, fearing an awkward situation, the old rascal naturally wouldn't use himself as an example, instead directing his criticism at another familiar veteran Go player, Ogizaka:

"Lijiang, look! Zeng Guangwen, a 9-dan player, is already in his thirties! But he's still a top-tier player."
"You dare to say you can definitely beat him when you play against him?"

"Ah this..."

Uesaka Rei was instantly stumped by the question and couldn't answer for a moment!

Since Rui Zhao retired from professional competition, although the Poyang Lake team ultimately won the championship this year with their "9999" strength, they did not have any players with outstanding strength.

Old puppy, little witch, old bunny, little Uesaka... The four are currently on the same level in terms of strength. The outcome of their battles often depends on their on-the-spot condition and preparation. It is difficult to say who can definitely beat whom.

In this round of the Sanshuang Cup qualifiers in China, Lin Ruixin defeated Zeng and Yang in succession. Judging from this, it doesn't seem surprising that he beat himself.

But Uesaka Rei was unwilling to give up!

She pouted, trying hard to find a reason:

"But Zeng Gou is different!"

"You have no idea how desperate he is to keep his position as a dog!"
"Of course I know!" Takuya Ichijo couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

"Don't forget: I just won the Chinese Weiqi League championship with you guys, okay!"

"And...you have to say 'roll'..."

He deliberately dragged out his tone, staring directly at Uesaka Rei:
"...Lin Ruixin and Zeng Guangwen..."

"Who knows who's more stubborn between the two of them!"

...

...

"Hmm... Lin Dazui has really made a name for himself?!"
"He actually won this game?!"

At 8 p.m. on the same day, in a room at the Sanshuang Training Institute guesthouse.

The little witch, who was reviewing today's match with her boyfriend... ah, I should say husband, couldn't help but give a small shout of praise.

Yes—more than a month later, after Chu Jun successfully celebrated his 22nd birthday, the "Glasses Witch" and her husband, the golden couple of the Chinese chess world, have successfully registered their marriage and tied the knot.

However, after the huge blunder of not being old enough to get married, the couple who had just registered their marriage did not post anything on social media, for fear of stirring up unnecessary controversy.

After all, it was too embarrassing that neither side, including the parties involved and their families, remembered that Chu Jun was under the legal marriage age, and they didn't want to attract any more attention.

Even regarding the official announcement of their marriage and the subsequent wedding banquet, the two plan to wait until the hype dies down in the second half of the year!

"Hmm...that's normal, isn't it?"

Xiao Chu, a 9-dan player, interjected from across the board:

"After all, he won all seven of his matches in the qualifiers, so it's not surprising that he could beat Uesaka Rei, right?"

"But the problem is, that little dwarf used a throwing knife in this game! And yet, it still turned the game around?!"

Yang Manjing leaned over to show her husband the sudden surge in Black's winning percentage curve after move 37:

"Although Lin Dazui is annoying as he may be, and abnormal as he may be..."

"But recently I feel like they've really pulled off something! Otherwise, they wouldn't have qualified as the top seed in the Sanshuang Cup preliminaries."

"Little Glasses, be careful the day after tomorrow..."

The reason for reviewing Lin Ruixin's match is certainly not because Miss Witch pays much attention to that "public enemy of female chess players"!

With the conclusion of the Round of 16 today, the draw for the quarterfinals has already taken place! Specifically:

Yang Manjing versus Xiong Siyi

Sun Yi versus Yamagami Yoshimoto

[Liu Shixian] versus [Li Zhaokai]

[Chu Jun] versus [Lin Ruixin]

Therefore, the two who both made it to the quarterfinals will naturally analyze their opponents together and leverage their team strengths—otherwise, wouldn't this marriage be a waste?!

However, after taking a closer look at the key moments of the game's reversal, Xiao Chu, a 9-dan player, adjusted his glasses and looked at Yang Manjing, his tone firm and filled with undeniable confidence:
"...Thank goodness!"
"The reason why Uesaka Rei was defeated today is mainly because she lacked experience in handling the chaotic battle in the middle of the field. Her casual attack was too fatal."

"If it were me, I would never make such a mistake—that's why he didn't meet me in the preliminaries, which is why he was able to win every round..."

"Just wait! Your husband will avenge you the day after tomorrow!"

After saying this, the captain of the Pengze team puffed out his rather broad chest toward his wife, his tone carrying a hint of flattery, as if asking for praise.

"Uh……"

Yang Manjing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then, with a mix of shyness and confusion, she rubbed her own whiny friend's scalp.

...Didn't I already let him marry them all?!
Why are you still acting like a turtle?!

The witch was quite puzzled. (End of Chapter)
