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

Chapter 317 Guessed Half Right

December 12, 2:8 am, Dongying Chess Institute.

The second stage of the ring competition has entered the fifth day.

With the continuous victories of the two Chinese pioneers, the Japanese women's team finally sent their deputy general, Akakura Haruna, when the total competition was just over halfway.

Before the match, the Japanese female Honinbo was giving her final instructions to her juniors:

"Haruna-chan, I'll leave you alone today!"

"Yeah. Sister Aoi, I, I'll do my best!"

As the holder of the two major titles of "Women's Go Saint" and "Women's Tachikyu", the 26-year-old Akakura Haruna nodded vigorously with a tense expression, as if she was very determined.

“Yeah, that’s the feeling!”

Aoi Natsukawa, who was in the chess academy's meeting room, smiled and nodded in affirmation.

"Remember what we discussed yesterday: keep your footing, try to avoid direct confrontation with Rui Zhao 2nd Dan, keep the situation stable, and rely on the final official move to decide the outcome!
"FIGHT!"

Even though she is already 31 years old, Natsukawa Aoi did not forget to raise her arms playfully to cheer up the younger generation while giving instructions at the end.

When Akakura Haruna saw this action, she was slightly stunned, and then she responded with the same action:
"Ooh!"

...

After giving the final instructions, the two sides disconnected the video connection.

At this time, the female Honinbo from the Toei Chess Institute gradually put away the smile on her face.

Shindo Hiroaki, who was standing by, also said softly:
"Aoi, it feels like Akakura... seems a little nervous."

"Have no idea!"

The female Honinbo stretched slightly.

"This Rui Zhao... puts too much pressure on people. His attacks are fierce and fierce, and he wins every game!

"I'm worried just looking at you, how can you let Haruna-chan relax?
"To be honest...I've already bought a plane ticket to South Korea this afternoon, but I didn't tell Haruna-chan."

The Japanese throne was slightly surprised: "Ah... is this necessary?"

"Why is this not necessary!"

Xia Chuan Aoi immediately rolled her eyes at her old friend:
"I heard from Uncle Sato that Zheng Caixi from South Korea hasn't looked well these past two days. The ice queen rushed from Seoul to Busu last night to support her teammates!
"I was worried that if I, the main player who could theoretically be forced out in the second stage, went to South Korea ahead of time, it would give my teammates a bad psychological hint. Otherwise, I would have left the afternoon before yesterday!

"Hey, he's just a pioneer..."

Hearing his old friend sigh, Shindo Hiroaki comforted him:

“You can’t say that!

"I heard that there are voices in China now saying that Rui Zhao is definitely the best female player below the Double Bi. Some people are even discussing whether she has a chance to win the title of China's Rookie of the Year!
"Besides, one competition doesn't prove anything! There are too many uncertainties in women's competitions.

"Like Wang Haocheng, who won eight consecutive victories in 2012, but has not even won a women's world championship until now!"

“That’s… that’s what I said!”

Xiachuan Aoi smiled bitterly and said:

“But the trouble at hand must be solved!

“To be honest, if it was last year, I would have just gotten my head shaved.

"But this year... I really don't want Li-chan to experience the feeling of losing a single round and being humiliated in her first match.

"She is indeed a great hope for the revitalization of our Japanese Go. I agree with this very much. I always hope that she will not suffer too painful a blow..."

"no problem!"

Shindo Hiroaki firmly continued to comfort:

"You were able to end Wang Haocheng's winning streak, so you can definitely stop Rui Zhao this year!"

"Ah, thanks for your good words! But don't set a flag!"

Xia Chuan Aoi's smile changed from helpless to a little relieved and cunning:

"Also... don't make it sound like Haruna-chan is bound to lose! Do you really not want her to win?"

"Hmm..." Shindo Hiroaki then realized that what he said was not appropriate, and with a slightly red cheek, he tried to save face:

"But you've already bought a plane ticket to South Korea!

"Oh, can't we just go there for a trip? Buju is also a tourist destination!

"Master Bo Guang, did you misunderstand something?"

Shindo Hiroaki was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he frowned and squeezed out the words:

"Um... you...

“It’s really still the same as it was more than a decade ago!”

...

...

"……OK!
"We saw that Xiao Zhao and Japanese player Akakura Haruna 6th dan were already sitting at the chess table.

"The seventh game of this Lakeside Cup should be starting soon!"

December 12, 2: am.

South Korea, Busuju Nongshim Hotel, in front of the temporary live broadcast stage of [Go Xiao Zhao].

This morning, because the anchor went out to fight, the burden of commanding the situation in the live broadcast room naturally fell on the shoulders of "Executive Deputy Anchor" Ai Jianan again.

"Vice Chairman Lu, Xiao Zhao has achieved five consecutive victories so far. Do you think she has a good chance of making further progress today?"

“I think she still has a very good chance.”

Lu Wenjie seemed to be being polite but actually said sincerely:
"The only thing to note is that Akakura Haruna's characteristics are different from those of the previous players. She is a very conservative player. She is good at closing the second half of the game and defending and counterattacking, and does not take risks easily.

"So, it may not be easy for Rui Zhao to quickly gain a huge lead through fierce attacks like before. I hope she can adapt to this style!"

Ai Jianan nodded and said:
“Okay, thank you Vice Chairman Lu for your analysis!
"The guessing game has ended. Akakura Haruna plays black and Xiao Zhao plays white. Now let's get into the game!

"Both sides started with a star-shaped eye against a two-linked star, and in the fifth move, Zhao Cang 6th Dan chose a variant of the Chinese style.

"Next, Xiao Zhao clicked on the upper right three-three, and the two sides simply decided that black pieces would hang in the lower left corner.

"Xiao Zhao did not respond, and moved closer to the lower right star position to actively seek a fight.

"But if the black pieces grow outward, the white pieces will inevitably grow inward, and the black pieces will follow and stick to the three-three position...

"Hmm... Zhao Cang's 6th dan's response didn't give Xiao Zhao a chance to turn the tables."

"Well, it's just as we expected before the game!"

Lu Wenjie responded with a tone of "as expected":
"Rui Zhao has been winning so many games in a row, I guess Japan and South Korea will have to make some targeted arrangements.

“It just so happens that Zhao Cang’s style of play is steady, so it’s normal for him to try to avoid fighting and prevent Rui Zhao from exerting his strength.

“In fact, we anticipated this yesterday. We specifically told Rui Zhao before the game not to force her strength today and to wait patiently for her opponent to make mistakes.

"I hope...she can implement this strategy well!"

"what……"

Ai Jianan's voice sounded a little awkward.

"I, I hope so!"

As the executive deputy anchor, she knows:

The style of the main player in the team is so powerful that bricks fly everywhere. It may not be easy for her to control herself and not make a big news...

However, Ai Jianan didn't know at this time:

Her guess just now was not completely correct - strictly speaking, it was only half correct.

The reason why she didn't guess it completely right was that Rui Zhao really controlled himself in this game, and there was no fierce fighting throughout the whole game!
The reason why she guessed half right is that...

This seemingly calm game of chess still caused huge news!
In fact, the impact this game brought to the entire chess world was even more severe than the tragic events that Empress Zhaotian had previously created...
