Chapter 127 Accumulation
Dajing City, Minglongtian Temple.

The first game of this chess master competition is being held in the "Wanglong Pavilion".

On the surface, the "Wanglong Pavilion" is quiet and solemn, and the whole scene seems to be frozen.

But if you don't understand the key points, you will never know the stormy waves involved.

Lin Ruixin, the current holder of the title of "Chess Saint", could not help but squint his eyes when he saw his opponent calmly execute the 66th move.

He naturally saw that he could not block White's plan in move 64 by force, so after careful consideration he chose to use Xiao Fei in move 65, trying to exchange a move in the upper part, so that it would be much easier for him to block it with Xiao Fei.

But Lei Qi had no intention of following his pace. The small tip in the 66th move was clearly a change of pace.

The game has come to this point, so it is impossible to give up halfway. The next moves, Black 67 and White 70, are both inevitable to capture the opponent's piece - Lei Qi even freed up his hands to take advantage of the first move in the lower right corner with move 68.

In this round of transition, it seems that both sides have made big moves on the top and right side, but because the white chess pieces have a very solid four-piece turn in the middle, it is undoubtedly the side with the greater advantage!
I was wondering why he turned around and let me be calm just now...it turns out he had a back-up plan!

Lin Ruixin couldn't help but smacked his lips softly.

It's only been a year...

Has Xiao Lei reached this point?
When he participated in the "Rookie King" competition at the beginning of last year, he was only a sixth dan!
Just as Lin Ruixin lamented, Lei Qi's sudden rise happened only in the past year.

Since April and May last year, Lei Qi's performance has improved significantly, and in the second half of the year, his performance has improved by leaps and bounds. He has achieved great results in the trials for various national and international competitions.

In September, he made a stunning debut by winning the championship of the "Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament" which has a very long history.

At the beginning of the next month, the ranking points and ranks were announced, and Lei Qi was promoted to the seventh dan, which made a number of media in the circle sigh that "the first wave of the new era has already arrived."

However, these media outlets were all wrong.

Because what came was not "a wave" at all, but waves that never stopped.

In October, Lei Qi won another victory, taking the championship of the "Changqi Cup", one of the most prestigious Go open tournaments in the country.

Winning two consecutive domestic championships for two consecutive months shocked the domestic chess world.

And just when everyone was wondering when Lei Qi would be promoted to the eighth stage, Lei Qi used his actual actions to tell everyone: there will no longer be such a title as "Lei Qi Eighth Stage" in this world.

In February 2023, Lei Qi went to South Korea to compete in the Samshuang Cup after the Spring Festival holiday. During the period, he won six games in a row without losing a single game. With an extremely impressive record, he won his first world championship and was promoted to the ninth dan!

Then in March and April, he shined in the most important title tournament in the country - the Chess Saint Tournament, and won all the way to finally stand as the challenger for the title of [Chess Saint]!
All this took only a short period of one year!

Lin Ruixin had heard before that although Lei Qi was extremely talented, Shang Chaotian was still cautious in nurturing this good seedling, making sure that Lei Qi would not have obvious weaknesses that could be targeted. He even deliberately delayed his promotion by two years!

The result was that although Lei Qi's performance after becoming a professional player was not earth-shattering, he took each step very steadily, and finally at the age of seventeen, he made a breakthrough and became a sensation!
What’s more, this underage child in front of him is even making progress!

Lin Ruixin thought that the first half of the game was the best he had played in the past year, but not only had he not been able to widen the gap with his opponent, he was even slightly behind because of the exchange just now!
Tsk!
Old man Shang is the same. He could have just quit, but why did he leave me with such trouble...

Lin Ruixin glanced at his extremely young opponent, pondered for a while, and then made a standing move in the lower right corner.

This move is not only extremely powerful in itself, but it also has the flavor of responding to a black piece in the white formation, killing two birds with one stone.

After doing this, Lin Ruixin stood up casually, took an energy bar from the snack bar nearby, and returned to his seat while eating it with a crunching sound.

In order to maintain the quality of the game, players are generally only allowed to drink water during the game, and eating is not allowed.

However, after the emergence of AI, closing the game at noon is too risky, and it is easy for people with ulterior motives to seize the opportunity to cheat. Therefore, most important competitions nowadays have changed to a mode where a game must be completed in one go, but various snacks provided by the organizers are allowed to be taken during the game. Now, Lin Ruixin can't say that he is very hungry, but he really wants to try whether this can disrupt his opponent's thinking.

For most chess players, they need to concentrate when thinking about chess. Once there is external interference, the efficiency will drop significantly.

So the sound he made when chewing the energy bar was quite loud, almost just above the staff's tolerance limit.

But when he returned to his seat, he found that Lei Qi had already made his next move.

The white chess piece in the upper right corner made a move!
This kid...

I want to save my black pieces, but you want to write an article about the discarded white pieces?
Looking at Lei Qi's expression again, it was almost exactly the same as when she left, as if she had never noticed that he had left!
The great chess master Lin frowned slightly, and it was rare for him to feel that his mentality was manipulated by others.

However, Lin Ruixin was an advanced player after all. After realizing that his mentality was a little fluctuating, he immediately steadied himself and made the necessary move to hold on.

After White 74 Tiger and Black 75, White did not choose to start a capture, but simply stuck.

This chess piece... is actually sticky?!

Lin Ruixin suddenly had the urge to curse.

It would undoubtedly be detrimental to the purpose if the white chess piece stuck directly here, but Lei Qi actually stuck directly!

What does this mean?
This shows that Lei Qi believes that he is now in an advantageous position and would rather suffer a slight loss in an effort to simplify the situation!
Xiao Lei...you've just reached where you are!

Do you dare to play chess like this?

Lin Ruixin frowned and stuck to his own breaking point.

Then White 78 charges, Black 79 blocks. White 80 makes the three-three alive, while waiting for an opportunity to attack the outer breakpoint of Black.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ruixin made a big flying move to make up for the break, but White followed with a big flying move in move 82, surrounding the empty space while still aiming at the black chess breakpoint, with a very high efficiency.

Lin Ruixin defended the breakpoint again in move 83, while preparing for the subsequent break into the white space.

Unexpectedly, Lei Qi was even more graceful, and made another big move, surrounding the air while aiming to invade and eliminate the black pieces, completely ignoring the threat of the black pieces breaking through the air.

Xiao Lei, you are pushing your luck!

Do you really think you have the advantage now? !
Lin Ruixin couldn't help but grit his teeth and immediately took tough measures:
Black move 85, small jump on the right!

There is a large white chess piece on the right, so Lei Qi can't just ignore it.

White 86 is a long move to prevent Black's tiger from coming out, which is inevitable. After that, Black makes another small jump with light steps.

Lei Qi knew that he would lose the advantage after the black piece was placed, and it would be difficult for him to completely control the black piece if the black piece moved again. He immediately chose to fly to the periphery and block the black piece in order to ensure the appearance of the middle part.

After seeing White's response, Lin Ruixin thought for quite some time, and finally made a small move to successfully connect back and end the battle on the right.

This time he broke through the white space and reversed the situation on the board in one fell swoop, which was considered a great gain.

After Lin Ruixin made this move, he glanced at his opponent's expression.

However, Lei Qi's face was as gloomy as water, and he seemed to be isolated from the outside world. There was still no emotion on his face.
