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

Chapter 244 It’s at least a seventh stage!

"Uh, son!

"Are you going to the Chao City early tomorrow morning? Why not stay at home for another day?"

September 9th, 5: p.m.

Dongjiang City, Dongjiang Garden Community.

Lei Jingming was stunned when he heard the subsequent competition schedule arranged by his son who had just returned home.

In his opinion, Dangchao City is too close to Dongjiang City, and his family lives in the southwest of Dongjiang City. It takes only a little over an hour to drive to Dangchao City by highway - which is shorter than half of the daily commute in Dongjiang City.

As a result, the competition started on the 8th, but my son said he would leave at 6 o'clock in the morning on the th?
You know, the first set of this tournament doesn't start until 8: in the morning, so even if you leave early in the morning on the th, you should still be able to make it!

But Old Lei Jiudan didn't know now that Lei Qi rushed back home early this time just to go to Dangchao City one day earlier.

If he hadn't agreed in advance to rest at home for a day, he would probably want to set off for Dangchao City right now!
Lei Qi still insisted:
"Dad, you know I'm not in good shape lately, so I want to get to the competition venue early to get used to it.

"As for staying at home longer, wait until I finish this game!"

Lei Jingming pursed his lips upon hearing this:

"But isn't the fourth round of the Weiqi League on the 16th? So you have to get to Xidu City on the 15th at the latest.

"If that's the case, it would be great if you could stay at home for a night after the competition!"

After two days of preliminaries on the 5th and 6th, this year's Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament will take a day off on the 7th and officially begin on the 8th.

The competition will then consist of a single-elimination round each day from the 8th to the 14th, with a rest day on the 11th.

Generally speaking, most events will not have three consecutive days of competition.
But...that's for slow chess.

As fast chess usually takes only a little more than half the time of slow chess, playing fast chess for three consecutive days is still acceptable.

Of course, by the third day, the condition would inevitably decline a bit.

But if it rains for three days in a row on both sides, there would be nothing to complain about.

According to this schedule, the game will not end until the 14th, so Lei Qi really doesn't have much time to stay at home.

However, Lei Qi forced a smile and said apologetically:
"Dad, I will definitely try my best...

"But in my current state, I can hardly make it to the last day."

Lei Jingming was stunned, then immediately understood what his son meant and whispered:
"Just...are you still feeling uncomfortable? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

“No, no, no!” Lei Qi said hurriedly: “I, I will definitely recover my previous state, but it may take a long time…

"S-Sorry, Dad!"

To be honest, Lei Qi actually knew that he still had some things that he cared about and was struggling with in his heart - otherwise he wouldn't be unable to use "flow".

But he also knew that his father had done everything he could, and he himself was temporarily unable to achieve better results than before to repay his father's support and trust.

So at this point, Lei Qi felt that he should say sorry to his father.

Lei Jingming's heart sank when he heard his son say, "It will take a long time to recover to the previous state."

He also watched the third round of the Weiqi League a few days ago. Although Lei Qi and Ji Qiujuan's attacks and kills were quite exciting, Lei Jingming could also see that:
My son is somewhat weaker than before the Chess Saint Tournament.

Although he was not clear about the specific details, after experiencing this series of events, Lao Lei Jiudan already felt that his son's health and happiness were the most important things.

As for whether he is a chess master or not, a champion or not... just let it be!
What's more, his son already has a World Cup in his hands. Isn't it much better than Old Yu who is struggling to get a World Cup?

After secretly cursing his son in his heart, Lei Jingming tried to put on a smile again, then patted his son on the shoulder:
"It's okay, Dad believes in you! Just take your time!
"Just go ahead. It doesn't matter if you don't win the first round. You can come back early."

"Well, thanks, Dad!"

Lei Qi thanked him first, then took out his phone and glanced at it. After a moment of hesitation, he said carefully:

"Um... Dad, I plan to go shopping this afternoon, buy some clothes, and relax. Do you think that's okay?"

Hearing this, Lei Jingming was stunned again.

buying clothes?
Didn’t this kid always dislike shopping?
However, in the eyes of the current Lao Lei Jiudan, as long as his son's request is not excessive, he can satisfy it. He immediately stated:

"No problem, just go!"

"Thank you, Dad! I'll be out first then!"

"Ah good!"

Soon, Lei Qi went out. Lei Jingming, who stayed at home, blinked and his mind moved slightly.

My son...if he goes out shopping...

Lei Jingming rubbed his hands subconsciously, then looked at the time at home: two forty-five.

Hey! Just right!
Rui Zhao's chess game was about to begin!

Lei Jingming suddenly became excited.

If his son was at home, Lei Jingming would never dare to watch Rui Zhao's game again - even though he had just watched Rui Zhao's crushing victory over Gao Yang in the morning and was itching to play.

But my son is not here...

There can't be any more mistakes!
Having made up his mind, Lao Lei Jiudan immediately ran to the study to turn on the computer and prepare to watch the game...

...

...

On the same day, at 6:05 pm, in an Internet cafe near Dongjiang Garden.

——Yes, it’s the one where Lao Lei, the 9th dan, sneaked out to watch Rui Zhao’s Wu Yue Cup competition last time.

Lei Qi, who was sitting in the seat where his father once sat, had just finished watching a game. He held his forehead with one hand, his expression somewhat solemn.

The game he had just watched naturally came from the girl he was "forced to be in the same frame with".

In today's second round of preliminaries for the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, Rui Zhao faced off against 17-year-old male chess player Hao Runcang, 3rd dan, who has been in good form recently and is working hard to reach the 4th dan level.

Unsurprisingly, this match was classified as a "key match" by the organizing committee and was broadcast live online.

In this game, Rui Zhao, a first-dan player, quickly gained an advantage after the opening. However, there were some setbacks in the middle and late stages of the game. In the 154th move, he made a major mistake that was not easily noticed under the tight countdown.

But…Hao Runcang, who was also in the countdown, did not find the mystery behind this move, and the two sides made mistakes. After a battle, Rui Zhao still maintained a certain advantage, and finally defeated his opponent with a one-and-a-half-point advantage, successfully entering the third round of the preliminaries - also the final round.

If this new first-dan player can win again tomorrow morning, he will be able to qualify from the group and successfully enter the 64-person tournament!

It’s only been two months since I was promoted to the rank position, but I have a chance to enter the tournament…

Lei Qi was silent for a moment.

When I made it to the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, it was already my third year as a professional chess player (2019)...

Moreover, the selection is based on the special condition of [first in the grade point average for those under the age of fifteen]. If it were to go through the preliminary selection, there would be a high probability that he would fail.

The young world champion, who couldn't help but compare himself to the girl back then, suddenly felt a sense of defeat.

...Ah! No, no!
What are you thinking about!

I was promoted to a professional level when I was less than eleven years old, while she was promoted to a professional level at the age of eighteen. I was already at a disadvantage!
Lei Qi comforted himself in this way in his heart.

But... there is one thing he can't avoid.

Even though she was much younger than her opponent, Rui Zhao... was a girl.

In Lei Qi's opinion, girls have a huge innate disadvantage compared to boys when playing chess, and this is not affected by anyone's subjective opinion at all.

For a girl... even if she is promoted to a professional chess player at the age of 18, to be able to enter the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament in just two months is also a very impressive achievement!
You know, even two girls at this age can’t do this!
When he thought of this, Lei Qi couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and he was unable to move for a while.

But then there were two "pop" sounds, and the boy slapped his cheeks hard!

Hey! What are you thinking about?

Rui Zhao hasn't won the third round yet, why is he worrying so much?

You know, most of the players who will appear in the third round of qualifiers will be sixth or seventh dan players. It’s probably too early for Rui Zhao to beat them!

Lei Qi came back to his senses and quickly operated the mouse, intending to confirm Rui Zhao's next opponent.

This was not a difficult task, and he soon found the answer:

Uh... Zeng, Zeng Guangwen? !

This……

Oh, never mind...that's fine!

After all...it's also a seventh stage!
