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

Chapter 320 The First Woman in the Future

"...Okay, I understand, Zhongnan, thank you for your hard work."

On December 12, just three minutes after Queen Socheon was asked that somewhat abrupt question in South Korea.

Yahiko Kobayashi, the chairman of the Dongying Chess Institute, who was sitting in a meeting room of the Dongying Chess Institute, had already learned about the soul-searching questions raised by a certain fool about the issue of "human relations and worldly affairs".

He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was sighing in his heart, then he cleared his throat and said slowly to the other four people in the conference room:
"Everyone!
"Just now at the site in Puju, South Korea, Vice Chairman Sato has confirmed with Rui Zhao 2nd Dan.

"She admitted that moves 144 and 162 were concessions she made intentionally to save our face..."

"Admit it yourself?"

After hearing this, Takuya Ichijo, who had just arrived at the chess academy, became a little restless.

"Chairman, is this true?!

"Can you admit this kind of thing... in person?"

Kobayashi Yahiko continued to answer without emotion:
"That's indeed the case. When we asked her further, she even gave us the exact number of moves..."

"She's provoking me! Can't she even read the air?"

"One!"

At this time, Shindo Hiroaki raised his voice slightly and stopped the junior:
"Let's put aside the previous game of chess played by Lei Qi. This time we were the ones who asked the questions first. There is no reason for us to blame him!

"We were already prepared to judge whether she made the mistake intentionally based on her reaction, but she just said it directly, which actually saved us the trouble. Why are you blaming her?"

"Uh……"

The Japanese chess master was speechless for a moment.

Just as Shindo Hiroaki said just now, the reason why the Japanese Chess Institute asked such an unusual question after the game was to find out what happened to Rui Zhao's other two moves that were poorly rated by AI, except for the 82nd move.

Otherwise, the Japanese, who always pay attention to face, would naturally not take the initiative to ask such a question that does not consider the atmosphere.

At this time, Ueno Toranoichiro, who was also present, did not forget to add a small blow:

"And, based on her poor acting skills when she defeated Uesaka, you expect this stupid beauty to read the air...

"It's really a bit too much to ask..."

"Hey, Tiger! Who are you speaking for?"

"Um... Ichijo, Ueno, let's get down to business as soon as possible!"

At this time, Xia Chuan Aoi's slightly dissatisfied voice came coldly.

"If you delay any longer... I'll have to rush to the airport."

"Ah! Sorry big sis!"

"This...I was wrong, Sister Xiachuan."

Although Ichijo and Ueno hold the most important titles of "Go Saint" and "Meijin" in Japan respectively, they are still respectful to Natsukawa Aoi, who is much older than her, has dominated the Japanese women's chess world for more than ten years and holds two women's world championships.

After all, in the Japanese chess world, which is extremely short of outstanding talents, the last time a chess player won the Unrestricted World Championship was almost twenty years ago.

Therefore, although the influence of the Women's World Championship is far weaker than that of the Unrestricted World Championship, Natsukawa Aoi, who was able to win two Women's World Championships under the attack of a group of female masters from China and South Korea, can be regarded as a great contributor to helping her country's Go retain the last face!

Hiroaki Shindo, who has achieved the feat of "holding seven titles simultaneously" and is older, does not seem to have the confidence to be arrogant when talking to her, let alone the two younger generations!
"...Okay, let's get to the point."

Kobayashi Yahiko clapped his hands twice and smoothed over his words.

"Today we have invited two of the best chess players in Japan, and the matter is very simple.

"This morning, Jindou and Xiachuan came to see me. We discussed it and felt that we needed your help."

"Help?" ×2
The chess masters and celebrities in Japan all expressed doubts at the same time.

"Yes."

Kobayashi Yahiko nodded slightly, then looked at Natsukawa Aoi and said:
"...Aoi, you are the one who is going to play, so you should do the talking."

"Okay, Chairman."

After the female Honinbo responded, she began to speak in a deep voice:
"Ichijo, Ueno. The day after tomorrow's Lakeside Cup... The chairman and I both believe that we must stop China's forward!
"But... to be honest, the current situation is completely beyond my expectations, and I am not very confident.

“I originally thought that she was just a powerful chess player who was particularly good at fighting, so I thought that as long as I couldn’t let her exert her strength, I would have a good chance of defeating her, not to mention Zhao Cang.

“But after today’s game… I no longer dare to think this way: her ability to control mistakes is just too amazing!
"In today's game, she was criticized by the AI ​​for only three moves, but in move 82, a slight comparison of the two players' styles showed that it was not a mistake, and she just admitted that she made two mistakes in the endgame intentionally...

"It means that she really played a game of chess without any mistakes!
"If I just follow the routine to surround the empty space, even though I think my chess moves are of higher quality than hers, I am worried that I will make a mistake and she will seize the opportunity to control the board and lose the game.

"But if I compete with her in a battle... I always feel like I'm delivering myself to her." Of course, I will work hard in the next two days to prepare and study how to defeat Rui Zhao, but I'm afraid that my preparations are not sufficient.

"After all, I was the one who told Zhao Cang to avoid fighting as much as possible today, but the result... everyone saw it."

After these words were spoken, there was only awkward silence in the conference room.

Seeing that no one responded, Xia Chuan Aoi subconsciously licked her lips and continued:

"So... I hope you and Master Hiromitsu - the three best chess players in Japan - can help analyze her recent games and give me a more targeted battle strategy!"

After hearing this, Ueno was full of thoughts. However, the Japanese chess master beside him looked puzzled and asked first:
"We must stop...

"This, big sister, do you need to use such a serious statement?"

Seeing that his friend looked like he didn't understand anything, Ueno Torachiro couldn't help but explain:
"Ichitsu! If Sister Xiachuan loses, the women's team will be eliminated this time!

"Originally, we were able to barely get a win thanks to you playing early, but in the second set, we lost miserably to the Chinese Pioneer by 50 points!

"If it's the women's team, they won't win a single set. Have you ever thought about the impact?"

"what……"

The not-so-smart Yitiao outside the plate finally reacted and quickly stood up and bowed:
"I'm so sorry, big sister!

"It's my fault that I didn't perform well in that game. Now I'm putting too much pressure on you..."

"Ichijo, don't take it so seriously! This is just part of the reason!"

Hiroaki Shindo, who also participated in the previous communication, helped the junior relieve the pressure:
“As you know, this is Uesaka’s first international tournament since he became a dan.

"Such an important experience, if all that is left is a painful memory, to be honest, we are afraid that it will have a negative impact on Uesaka.

"So... don't take your defeat so seriously!"

"Ohh...I, I see."

Hearing this, Takuya Ichijo also nodded repeatedly.

As the current number one player in Japan, Ichijo naturally understands how much the entire Japanese chess world values ​​this extremely bright new star, Uesaka Rei.

Since Hiroaki Shindo and Aoi Natsukawa, the Japanese chess world has never produced a truly exciting supernova.

To be honest, the "Reiwa Three Birds" consisting of Takuya Ichijo, Torachichiro Ueno, and Yoshimoto Yamagami are just mediocre at best, so they were privately labeled "Reiwa Sanbakka" by Aoi Natsukawa.

Therefore, it is normal for the top management of the Go Institute and the two decision-makers, Shindo and Natsukawa, to be more protective of Uesaka Rei, a talented girl who has shown the potential to become a top male Go player.

"…Master Bo Guang, you are right!

"Indeed, there are two reasons like these, which are enough for the three of you to pay attention to!"

"…Actually, there is a third reason."

At this time, Kobayashi Yahiko added softly:

"Previously... our attempt to take down Lei Qi, the future number one, was unsuccessful, which is very regrettable.

“But…if our players can end the winning streak of the future number one female player, it can save some face to a certain extent.

"So, when Xia Chuan came to me for help, I was very supportive."

"The future... the first woman?"

Hearing this, Ueno Torachichiro couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"This... When did this Rui Zhao get this name?"

"About half an hour ago! I saw that there were discussions on the Go forums in China and China." Xia Chuan Aoi said with pursed lips.

"Half an hour? Forum?"

Ueno Touichiro frowned:

"That's just something a chess fan says, it doesn't count!"

"No, Ueno."

Shindo Hiroaki couldn't help but interrupt:
"I just saw that this title has been posted on the relevant page of Yaho."

"……Eh?"
