Chapter 149 By the West Lake
"Teacher Yu! I won again!"

At 7:2 am on July nd, at the team leader rest area on the first floor of Tongge Building.

After Rui Zhao finished the game this morning, he hurriedly ran to Yu Qingguang to report the good news.

Her brows were still subconsciously furrowed, as if she had lost the game of chess in the morning. Her face was still a little pale, and her breathing became rapid from time to time. It could be seen that she was in a very tense state.

It's not just a surface performance, it can also be seen from the content of the chess game.

As the team leader, Yu Qingguang naturally could not watch his teammates' games for a long time, so he did not see Rui Zhao's two games yesterday, he just knew that he won.

But this morning, Rui Zhao's chessboard was very close to the team leader's rest area. As a senior marine, Yu Qingguang picked up his mobile phone telescope and pointed it at Rui Zhao, and still saw a lot.

He discovered from this game that Rui Zhao's moves were obviously a bit "tight" and dull in many places, totally unlike his usual brilliant moves.

Yu Qingguang had to admit that Rui Zhao's level was significantly lower than his usual training.

Originally, his level was almost close to that of the fourth dan, but now he is probably on the same level as Liao Xiang, that poor chess player.

This is because there are really no strong players in the women's qualifying tournament. Even if a second-dan chess commentator like Liao Xiang is brought in, he can easily defeat them.

However, although Rui Zhao was not in a very good condition, Yu Qingguang felt a little relaxed when he saw his student.

Because Rui Zhaoke is much better today than yesterday.

After Rui Zhao finished playing those two games of chess yesterday, he felt as if he had just fought for his life on the battlefield. His hands couldn't stop shaking, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.

Now, although Rui Zhao still felt very tense, he had recovered a little better than yesterday.

"Feeling... better than yesterday, right?" Yu Qingguang asked tentatively.

Rui Zhao was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and nodded: "Yeah."

The student's answer made Yu Qingguang feel a lot more relaxed.

Victory is the best medicine to cure all psychological problems in competitive sports.

As long as Rui Zhao keeps winning, the tension will surely gradually ease and eventually disappear.

"That's fine! In a competition, the more you play, the more relaxed you become!"

Yu Qingguang nodded and said kindly:
"Let's go! Liao Xiang has prepared lunch, so let's go eat right after we get off the boat! Keep working hard this afternoon!"

"Ah."

Rui Zhao agreed, and then Yu Qingguang sent her out of Tongge Tower even though she was still nervous.

Rui Guoquan had been waiting outside the building for a long time. As soon as he saw his daughter come out, he immediately went up to her and asked about the situation.

He was so happy when he heard his daughter won another game, and he started chatting with his daughter in a good mood - but it was obvious that Rui Zhao didn't really want to chat.

Yu Qingguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his pre-match premonition was very bad, and although Rui Zhao's strength level was indeed affected.

But no matter what, his new female student was winning the game, so he could put his mind at ease.

However, thinking of this, Yu Qingguang suddenly remembered that he should also talk to Lei Jingming so that he wouldn't worry about it.

After all, it was the "big teacher" Lei Jingming who had noticed that Rui Zhao was in a different state.

Yu Qingguang immediately picked up his cell phone and prepared to call his friend.

But as soon as he unlocked the screen, he stopped.

Never mind, let’s wait…

It’s almost eleven o’clock and the fourth game of the Chess Saint Tournament is about to begin.

...

...

West Lake is one of the most famous scenic spots in China.

It is also Qiantang City’s most iconic city card, without a doubt.

Today, the fourth game of the Chess Master Tournament will be held at the "Huanxi Waterside Pavilion" on the shore of West Lake.

The "Huanxi Waterside Pavilion" is the most luxurious leisure place in Huxi Hotel. It is named after the "waterside pavilion" and is built facing the West Lake. It has two floors and is decorated in the style of Jiangnan gardens.

The second floor of the waterside pavilion has wooden windows everywhere. One side faces the lake, where you can fully enjoy the beauty of West Lake. The other side is the new and simple courtyard style of Huxi Hotel, and you can also see the Leishan Pagoda standing on the hillside behind the hotel from afar, with an excellent view.

As the game was about to start, Lei Qi, who had made all the necessary preparations, left the room and headed for the competition venue a few dozen meters away.

When Lei Qi walked up to the second floor of "Huanxi Waterside Pavilion", he saw that his opponent in this chess saint competition was already sitting on a chair next to the game table. He leaned to one side, slightly supporting his chin. He looked as lazy as ever, but at the same time, he exuded a solemn and deep feeling.

Unlike the previous three rounds, Lin Ruixin didn't say a word when he saw Lei Qi coming up. He just squinted his eyes and looked at him, then retracted his gaze and continued to think about something without saying a word. It was like a lion facing a challenge, gathering all his strength, ready to defeat the challenger who dared to offend his authority.

Lei Qi couldn't help but stop, took a deep breath, and then continued to walk towards another chair next to the game table.

Although Lei Qi had known for a long time that Lin Ruixin had always been better at face-to-face chess than online chess, and that he would perform better in truly crucial games.

But only when Lin Ruixin doesn't resort to some messy tricks and acts like a stranger, can Lei Qi truly understand why he is described by Lu Wenjie as "a man who truly has the heart of a winner."

In an instant, Lei Qi had a vague premonition.

This game of chess...I'm afraid it won't be easy.

...

At 11:00 am, the fourth game of the Chess Saint Tournament officially started. After the start, Lei Qi, playing with black, made a small mistake to start the game, while Lin Ruixin, playing with white, won two star positions in a row.

The fifth grenade was hung in the upper left corner, but Lin Ruixin ignored it and hung it in the lower right corner instead.

He got away again this time...

When Lei Qi saw this hand coming out, he felt a little familiar.

In the first two games, Lin Ruixin handled his corner situation in the same way.

So do you like to be the first?
However, Lei Qi didn't care. To him, it didn't matter whether the other party took off his clothes first or not.

After a series of common responses in the lower right corner, he freed his hands, thought for a moment, and launched a common corner attack in the upper left corner:

Double Flying Swallows.

...

At the same time, in Building No. 5 of Huxi Hotel.

The official commentary of this chess saint battle is also being broadcast live here. Today's commentators are the young female host Song Jin, 2nd Dan, and Ni Jue, a famous Tianyuan.

During the layout phase, there is less that needs to be explained in detail, so the host is usually accustomed to talking about some off-the-plate content to warm up the audience.

This time, Song Jin focused the warm-up topic on Ni Jue's new junior sister.

“Ni Jue, 9th Dan, you didn’t come when Rui Zhao came to the live broadcast in Dongjiang last time.

"You came this time, but Rui Zhao didn't come. Isn't that a bit regretful?"

Ni Jue smiled and said, "Regret? Not really, that little girl would be very fierce when she met me playing chess!

"Last time I played a game of chess with her online, she seized the opportunity and almost made me lose. As a result, I was given the title of 'the worst 9th dan'. I wish I could avoid her!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire studio was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Hey! Don't hide because of this!"

Song Jin continued to tease:

"Rui Zhao is now a hot star in our Go world! I heard that the popularity of her self-media live broadcast is almost catching up with our official live broadcast!"

Ni Jue nodded and also joked:
"Yes, I was thinking that since my junior sister didn't broadcast this time, will our official streaming data be much better?"

"Is that so? Wait, let me ask the director!"

"Ah? Can you tell this to others?"

Ni Jue responded naturally, and the atmosphere in the entire studio became more relaxed.

Again, even though he doesn't like dealing with people, it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do it.

However, the other young genius who was once as famous as him was really boring.

...

At this time, Song Jin saw the latest move coming from the scene and immediately placed it on the chess board.

"After thinking for a while, Lei Qi chose to play Double Flying Swallows in the upper left corner as a punishment for Lin Ruixin's inappropriate corner move.

"In fact, in the last two games, Lin Ruixin also encountered this situation where the small flying hook corner did not respond. We have done some research here and think that it is better to just not respond."

"Well, it depends on your own understanding! Anyway, I think it's all right!"

Ni Jue continued the conversation.

"Although AI generally believes that the double swallow is not so harsh now, it is hard to say that other big fields are definitely better than guarding the corner."

"Well, let's take a look at the changes on both sides. The white pieces are stretched and fixed, the black pieces are supported, and the white pieces are at 33, each sticking to the other. Then the white pieces make a small move to fill in the pieces on the other side..."

“It’s all AI routine.”

Ni Jue took the opportunity to interject:

“Times have really changed!

“Before AI, both sides rarely followed the established pattern, and they both liked to add their own understanding to make changes.

"As a result, nowadays, I always play a whole set of moves, for fear of being taken advantage of by the AI!"

"Yes, it is!"

Song Jin nodded and complimented Ni Jue casually:
“However, Ni Jue 9th Dan, you are an exception!

"Every time I explain your chess, I look forward to seeing if there will be any new changes today!"

"Thank you so much! I'm just shameless and dare to try new things."

After being humble, Ni Jue didn't like the topic to stay on herself, so she quickly brought it back to the board.

"The next step should be for the white piece to make a small jump, and for the black piece to split two... Only then can this set of moves be completed."

"Well, I guess so... eh?!"

Song Jin expressed his approval, then looked at the chess game reproduction sent back from the scene, but his tone suddenly changed.

"Lin Ruixin's next move is... a flying shoulder charge?!"
