Chapter 125: The Heart of a Victor

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Zhao! Nice to meet you again today!
"This is one of my three teachers. He is also the father of this year's Chess Saint Tournament challenger Lei Qi 9th Dan, and the world champion, Lei Jingming 9th Dan!"

After the show started, Rui Zhao was a little introverted but introduced himself and Lei Jingming next to him quite fluently.

Since she started live streaming, although strictly speaking she has never done a proper live streaming herself, she has appeared on camera so many times before, and at least she has become proficient in greeting and saying goodbye, and her awkwardness in front of the camera has gradually faded.

Lei Jingming, who was standing next to him, was facing the camera for the first time and felt a little awkward and nervous: "Hello, everyone!"

"In addition, my other two teachers, Yu Qingguang 9th Dan and Li Wangyuan 9th Dan, will also be guests today to explain this game to everyone with us!"

Yu and Li, who were sitting at the edge of the screen, also greeted them.

At this time, Ai Jianan looked at the number of viewers. There were more than 30,000 viewers at the beginning, which was a very good number!
After Rui Zhao introduced several teachers, there was a small explosion in the barrage.

[Wow, this studio is so artistic! Good choice! ]

[Is this really a live broadcast from a we-media platform? Why does it feel more legitimate than the official media? ]

[Hmm? Xiao Zhao is so proud? Even the challenger's father is here? ]

[Didn't they say that Lei Qi, the challenger, was the world champion? And his father was also the world champion? ]

[The two above may not have watched Go much before. The three teachers of the anchor are all very powerful national players of the older generation. This one is even a father and son who are both world champions! ]

[Hmm? Are you guys really watching Go? My Xiao Zhao looks so pure and dignified in this grey formal suit! So beautiful!]

[Why don’t you watch Go anymore! The streamer is really good. He dominated most of the game when playing Little Witch a while ago. Entering the professional world is just a formality to play in the qualifying tournament! ]

[Who is the little witch? Is she prettier than the anchor? ]

[That’s not the case… No! Those who don’t know this should go to Thousands of Degrees! Don’t be a beggar! ]

……

Very good, good discussion!
Ai Jianan was very happy to see this: for a host, active barrage discussions are very useful for increasing audience stickiness.

But she was also expected this.

After all, it is a top-level domestic competition, the top domestic players, a popular internet celebrity anchor in the Go world, and Lei Jingming’s “father’s commentary”, so there shouldn’t be too many gimmicks!

And when Rui Zhao finished his introduction, the official media stream showed that both sides had begun to make their moves.

Lei Jingming and Rui Zhao didn't say much, and directly began to live broadcast the game according to the order of moves.

In fact, according to reason, with the gimmick of Lei Jingming, the father, commentating on his son's game, Ai Jianan should have arranged a half-hour chat to warm up the situation before the game started.

Whether it is talking about the significance of this chess saint battle, or understanding some unknown experiences of Lei Qi through Lei Jingming, they are all excellent materials for attracting popularity.

But there are two problems.

First, with Rui Zhao's mediocre live broadcasting skills, it was good enough that he could start smoothly and say goodbye at the end.

This lets Rui Zhao take the lead in warming up the stage, which will probably drive this idiot to death!

Furthermore, for Rui Zhao, as long as he doesn't practice chess, there is no difference between spending money on makeup and spending money on warm-up.

She couldn’t even agree to spend half an hour on makeup, so how could she agree to spend half an hour warming up?

So Ai Jianan had no choice but to give up and just get straight to the point!
...

"Today, the black player is Lin Ruixin, who opened the game with a small eye on the top. Lei Qi, the ninth dan, played a star small eye on the bottom.

"In the fifth move, Chess Master Lin defended the corner in the upper left two spaces, while Lei Qi, the ninth dan, hung the corner in the upper right, with the black pieces making small points and the white pieces breaking two.

"Black's 9th move hits the 17- point in the lower right corner, and Lei Qi uses the 'flying block' method to respond. "After both sides have simply settled their positions, Chess Master Lin's th move breaks up the three sides on the right, and Lei Qi defends the lower left corner, and Black breaks up the three sides on the left again..."

After entering the chess commentary stage, Rui Zhao fluently explained the layout of both sides to the audience based on the information transmitted through the live broadcast.

Although this is Rui Zhao's first official live broadcast of Go commentary, she has been immersed in Go for many years and has watched countless Go live programs in her previous life. She can be said to have "seen pigs running even though she has not eaten pork."

In addition, her level of expertise is quite high, so she speaks quite well and you don't look like a novice at all.

On the other hand, Lei Jingming seemed much more uncomfortable.

Although he had watched many live broadcasts and was a high-level Go player, it was his first time to publicly comment on Go in front of tens of thousands of viewers, so he was inevitably nervous.

So he could only listen to his students' endless explanations and respond with "hmm", looking a little dazed, causing Qin Xiaoxue who was sitting outside the venue to cover her face.

But Rui Zhao couldn't pay too much attention to his great teacher now, and continued to lecture at his own pace.

In the AI ​​era, chess players have always played very quickly in the layout phase in order to save time. If Rui Zhao delays, he will completely fall behind in the progress.

"Here, Lei Qi 20th Dan's 21th move naturally attacked, otherwise it would be unbearable to allow White to break both sides. Black's st move naturally counterattacked with a small tip, which is also quite common.

"White's 22nd move directly leans against the star position in the upper left corner, and Black must forcefully hold it.

"Then the white chess piece breaks off and the black chess piece grows out from the right side in a cross shape.

"White 26 moves down to capture, Black grows, and White climbs one.

"Black grows longer, White climbs again... Black captures on move 31, White takes over.

"Wow... up to this point both sides have made moves that are all within the AI's top three choices, and this corner change even has a choice for each move!
"Teacher Lei, both Chess Saint Lin and Lei Qi Jiudan are very powerful!"

While Lin Ruixin finally started to think, Rui Zhao expressed the admiration she had long wanted to express.

Lei Jingming quickly took over the conversation and took the opportunity to boast calmly:
"Of course!
"After all, they are the two with the highest ratings in the country, and are also recognized as the two strongest chess players in the country.

"It's not surprising to choose the top three moves in every move within 30 moves. Most top chess players can do that."

"That being said, it's still difficult to choose the right moves for this part in the upper left corner! And it's so fast! It's obvious that they have done some research..."

Rui Zhao exclaimed sincerely.

"I feel like they are both even better than when they played handicap chess with me!"

Hearing this, Lei Jingming subconsciously wanted to hint to his student not to mention the fact that he had played chess with his son.

But suddenly I thought, I will have to confess after my son finishes the chess game, so there is nothing to be wary of, so I just continued the conversation normally:

"Lei Qi's recent 'retreat' should have yielded some results. But as for Lin Ruixin, it's normal for him to play key chess better than online chess."

"Ah? What does that mean?"

Lei Jingming explained: "I may not have told you in so much detail before, so today is a good opportunity to tell you about it.

"You also know that most chess players generally perform slightly worse than usual during competitions due to nervousness, mentality and other factors.

"But Lin Ruixin is different: he generally plays better at face-to-face chess than online chess, and generally plays better at key games than in ordinary competitions!

"To put it simply, the more crucial the game, the better he will play. It seems that such big occasions can stimulate his fighting spirit and potential.

"Lu Wenjie once commented on him, saying that he is a man who truly has the heart of a winner. Now, everyone thinks that what he said is true!"

As soon as Lei Jingming finished speaking, Lin Ruixin, after a little thought, responded with a strong move, revealing murderous intent!
