Chapter 191 Star Position

"Speaking of which...shouldn't you be at work today? Why did you sneak back before eleven?"

Monday, October 7.

Dongjiang City, Longjingjiangan Community.

Zhao Xiao was quite surprised when she saw her husband hurriedly sneaking back home.

But Li Haoming looked serious:
"My legs felt a little numb and uncomfortable today, so I took half a day off!
"Look at me, I rushed back without even getting lunch at work!"

"That's perfect...Teach my son about chess! Tell me if this is important or not!"

"Oh - I see!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiao glanced at the [Go Xiaozhao] live broadcast room that was being projected on the TV screen, and responded with a long, meaningful sound.

Li Jingzhe on the side had a gloomy face, thinking in his heart whether he should find a girlfriend as soon as possible to prove his innocence, otherwise it would be endless!

"Dad, Mom... not really!

"Rui Zhao and I are just ordinary high school classmates now. Do you want to be like this?"

"Yes, yes! Classmate relationship! We all understand!"

Zhao Xiao stretched out her voice and said:
"Well... I'm not in a hurry to write an article recently, so how about I accompany you to look at it and find some inspiration?"

For a moment, Li Jingzhe's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

But if I refuse, it would seem like I care too much and it would give my parents more room to maneuver.

Hey! Didn't I say long ago that there's nothing going on between me and Rui Zhao?

Why do my parents seem so excited every day... I don’t understand!

"You can watch it if you want, it's nothing!"

Li Jingzhe pretended to be nonchalant and said.

"Ok!"

Zhao Xiao looked at her husband with a smile, and Li Haoming smiled secretly and winked back.

Then the two of them sat down together, and the family of three watched the chess game together.

"Ah, the result of guessing first is out! Rui Zhao plays black, and the Ice Queen plays white."

At this moment, the [Go Xiaozhao] live broadcast room on the screen showed signs that the game was about to begin.

Seeing the official stream announce the result of the guessing game, Ai Jianan immediately started talking.

"Well... as a competition held by China, this Wu Yue Cup will naturally use Chinese rules.

"According to Chinese rules, black is equivalent to a 7.5-point handicap, which is generally considered to be a disadvantage for black.

"Xiao Zhao also guessed black in the last game. It seems that his luck is not very good."

Li Wangyuan, the guest, took over and explained:
“No way, under Chinese rules, the purpose of posting is essentially to post.

"According to the rules of posting, you can either post three and three quarters of a stone or two and three quarters of a stone. If converted into points, it is either seven and a half points or five and a half points. After weighing the two, seven and a half points is better..."

...

...

When [Go Xiaozhao]'s live broadcast room started broadcasting this much-anticipated game, the official live stream naturally would not lag behind.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, when the game started, the female host Song Jin skillfully read the opening remarks.

"Okay, everyone. Today we are bringing you a live broadcast of a match between our country's new first-dan Rui Zhao and South Korea's ninth-dan Kim Youen.

"In fact, if it was put before the entire Wu Yue Cup, this set of games would definitely be considered a 'bullying game' with a huge gap in strength.

"But Rui Zhao Chudan's very clean and beautiful victory over South Korea's Park Wenmei Jiudan in yesterday's game has aroused great expectations among many viewers, so today we chose this game as the main stage for live broadcast. And today our commentator is still the national player Xiong Siyi!

"Come on, Siyi, say hello to everyone!"

At this time, the little bear couldn't wait:
"Sister Song Jin! Let's get started! I see they've already started going down."

Song Jin tried his best to avoid a distorted expression and said:

“…Well, national player Xiong has greeted everyone, and now, as he said, we will begin explaining the game.

"Both sides started with Xiang Xiaomu versus Xing Xiaomu, and in the fifth move Rui Zhao chose to jump to the upper right corner to defend.

"Kim You-eun's small flying piece hangs in the corner, and the black piece responds with a small flying piece. The white piece then uses a large flying piece to defend the corner in the lower right corner, and the black piece is sandwiched between the two upper spaces.

"Ah, in the 10th move, White chose a relatively compact place above to attack!
"This is to prevent the black pieces from having a chance to make another move. This way, it will be difficult for the white pieces to get in. Basically, they can only fight the black pieces head-on, which can easily help the black pieces to create an empty space."

Xiong Siyi excitedly explained:

"Queen Jin started out playing very aggressively, and didn't follow Rui Zhao's methodical approach in laying out the chessboard.

"If it were me, I would definitely not let the white chess piece have an easy time, but I don't know what Rui Zhao is thinking...

"Ah, Black is forcing his way in! I like it!"

"Yes, I am very motivated..." Song Jin responded helplessly and continued to talk about the game hurriedly.

"Then the white piece jumps out, the black piece on the right jumps up, the white piece jumps again, and the black piece flies away - this is also a choice of the AI."

"She has a great sense of chess! I like this little girl more and more!"

Xiong Siyi's tone became more and more excited:
"This move seems to be still entangled with the three white pieces in the upper right, but in fact it is building a formation and aiming at the white piece in the upper left.

"Now, if we want to survive with this move, we can only survive with a bit of humiliation. If we let Black make another move, we will probably be dead."

"So Siyi, what you mean is that we should deal with the white piece on the upper left?"

"No... In my opinion, handling this seed is a big taboo!"

Xiong Siyi shook his head.

"When you are surrounded by the enemy, you must not make heavy moves, otherwise you will easily lose everything in the dark space.

"On the contrary, the opening of the star position on the right is the key point. It's better no matter which side gets it...

"Ah! The Ice Queen did this! It seems...she's in pretty good shape lately!
"Fortunately, the semi-finals won't start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, otherwise the two women's duo would be in trouble!"

“Not really!”

Hearing such "destroying his own prestige" remarks, Song Jin could only awkwardly help smooth things over:

"Well... Then the black piece came to the lower left corner, and the white piece simply pointed up. After both sides finished the set pattern, the white piece directly forced its way to the upper right corner.

"Black got away with the first move and seized the key point in the lower left corner, but it was inevitable that White would take the star position in the upper right corner."

"Well, the Queen probably wants to see what Rui Zhao can do, right?"

...

...

"Well, here Black's 25th move is bound to be an outside push, White sets up, Black follows and climbs to 'three threes', White pushes after Black follows, here Junior Sister chooses to follow the push... Well, I feel like this move is better to be outside?

"Sun Yi, what do you think?"

Station B, the live broadcast room of [Go Xiaozhao].

After seeing the junior sister's series of responses, the famous Tianyuan stopped and asked a question.

"If you want me, I'll help you!"

Today, another world-class master in the [Go Xiaozhao] live broadcast room quickly gave his own choice.

Originally, Sun Yi was busy preparing for the national championship and the opening match of the Weiqi League recently, but because Rui Zhao made too much noise yesterday, he insisted on coming to Rui Zhao's live broadcast room to talk about chess.

Ai Jianan was naturally happy to lose the program effect of Lao Lei, so Yixian also appeared in today's commentary.

That is... maybe Sun Yi hasn't realized yet: because of this incident, he will definitely be further plundered by Queen Mulan.

Of course, this is all later. The current chess master, who is still unaware of the danger, is talking excitedly:

"Especially when Black's lower left move is advantageous... I thought Junior Sister had planned this move in advance! It seems that it was either accidental or she had her own considerations.

"If we choose to support the opponent outside, the white chess piece can only go back to the corner to make up a move after the support. If the black chess piece is cut off again, I think the white chess piece will be quite uncomfortable. The only way is to rely on pressure and inducement in the lower left.

“But in this case, the black piece must be transformed, and the black piece will grow and capture the white piece.

"Although the white pieces in the lower left corner made two consecutive moves and captured a black piece, the white pieces on the right side were seriously damaged. The black pieces that had the first move made another move, and the white pieces on the right side were weak. I think the black pieces were slightly better."

"Well...indeed."

Celebrity Tian Yuan affirmed Yixian's judgment.

“Although my strength has improved a lot recently, I am still a little lacking in experience when facing the Ice Queen.

"However, it is not a bad idea to choose to corner and secure the corner. Let's see what happens next.

"After the black piece moves to the 22 position, the white piece will inevitably make up for the tiger.

"Then there is a strategy. After the black piece captures, the white piece holds it, the black piece grows, the white piece cuts off, the black piece holds it again, the white piece sticks to it, and the black piece crawls out again.

"In this way, Black has completely captured the corner territory and is quite alive. At the same time, it has the opportunity to emerge in the future. White is basically stable and has also gained something in the territory. It also has the initiative. Next, let's see which one White will choose... Eh?"

Before Ni Jue finished speaking, Jin Youen's next move surprised him.

"Next, the white chess piece continued to push forward on the right?

"this……

"Is the Ice Queen so confident in herself?!"

Well, I had a social event last night, and I got up at four in the morning to catch up on the unfinished manuscript.

Also, let me talk about this game of chess. This game is far from being a famous game. I can’t even find any explanation about it. I can only rely on AI and my own chess skills which are definitely not better than those of a professional player at my peak. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me.

Although it is not a famous game, I think this modified game should bring you some different excitement. I hope you will like it.
