Chapter 357 Women's Weiqi League Ends
"After watching this game, I have to say that Rui Zhao's ability to fight in the middle game is really very sharp."

December 12, 11: p.m.

Hou Zhenyong, the guest commentator for the game between Rui Zhao and the Little Witch, began to summarize the game on the podium.

"After the two sides simply formed four corners in this game, they quickly entered into a chaotic battle. The focus was the big dragon that moved from the right to the left below the white chess piece.

"Until the black pieces entered the middle of the abdomen and started a new round of operations, the white pieces still had a certain advantage on the board.

"However... under Rui Zhao's sudden effort, Black only used ten moves to completely secure the victory!

"Originally, when White made the big jump in the 120th move, the entire White dragon seemed to have abundant eye positions and many ways out.

"But Black's 121st move, Xiaofei, can be described as a move that is both tough and gentle, fierce and delicate.

"It induces the white pieces to rush forward and then break, forming very complex local changes.

"And here the little witch is probably a little bit inferior to Rui Zhao in terms of chaotic fighting skills. There is nothing wrong with the two moves of charging and then breaking, but in the subsequent changes, the black chess took advantage of the white chess's tight energy and successfully separated the two white pieces.

"Yang Manjing still didn't realize that his dragon was in great danger. He didn't grasp the key points in a few consecutive moves. Rui Zhao almost hit the key points step by step, and the white chess winning rate quickly fell. When Black 139 stabbed, the white dragon was already killed.

"Although it was clear that the little witch was unwilling to accept the defeat and tried to find opportunities to save the situation, Rui Zhao responded very steadily. The gap between the two sides widened. It can be said that the winner has been decided!"

"Yes, it is!"

Seeing that Hou Zhenyong had almost finished summarizing the chess game, Song Jin on the side quickly said:

"Rui Zhao's performance in this game was still outstanding... but it seems that she hasn't played badly recently!"

"Uh...it seems so!"

Hou Zhenyong thought about it for a moment and realized that what the female host said was absolutely right. He couldn't help but start to praise her:
"Her stability is really... not very good!

"In theory, the stability of female chess players has always been a big problem.

"But she's good. She's won a lot of games recently, and her opponents have to use all their strength to win. And the ones she lost recently seemed to be either high-ranking men or leading women...

“Hey wait!

"I suddenly discovered a problem: apart from Lei Qi... the male rookies of his age seem to be roughly at the level of Empress Zhao Tian. There doesn't seem to be anyone who is obviously stronger than her?!"

"If you say so... Chu Jun?"

Facing the alternative answers given by Song Jin, Hou Zhenyong thought about it and shook his head slightly:

"Chu Jun is only a little over a year younger than Queen Zhaotian! In terms of absolute chess strength... I feel that Chu Jun may not be able to suppress Queen Zhaotian, and if we consider stability, well...

"……broken!
"It seems like we men... can only rely on Xiao Lei as a fig leaf!"

"Hehe! You've been saying that our female chess players are terrible every day, and now you're getting the backlash!"

Seeing the other party's slightly exaggerated reaction, Song Jin couldn't help but laugh:

"But according to what you said, in the Rookie King Contest early next year... does Rui Zhao really have a chance of winning?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Hou Zhenyong immediately realized why the other party asked that question.

You know, the two people with the most traffic in the Go circle right now, the great chess master Lin and the live broadcast queen, have both made statements about the Rookie King Championship!

If Queen Zhaotian really won the Rookie King Contest, and used this opportunity to issue a formal challenge to Lin Ruixin...

No matter who wins or loses, there will always be one side (and its fans) who wants the loser to eat dust, that rhythm...

The painting is so beautiful, don’t look at it!
Just as Hou Zhenyong was getting more and more excited, the director's voice came from the headset:
"Hou Liuduan, Song Jin, please stop talking about this topic. It's not appropriate!"

Hearing this, Hou Zhenyong immediately stopped and looked at Song Jin.

Song Erduan is naturally an old hand, and when he heard the director's instructions, he immediately brought up the topic:
"…But whether it will work or not will depend on how Rui Zhao performs!

"Okay, now let's get back to the game. Now... uh... it's not over yet?"

After taking a glance at the board, Song Jin, who had been as steady as an old dog, suddenly became embarrassed.

Yes.

Although the two commentators on the stage have already finished summarizing the game.

But in this key battle between Rui Zhao and Yang Manjing, the little witch had no chance of winning until the 195th move, but she still had no intention of resigning.

She was still trying hard to collect the pieces, as if she was determined to collect every last piece on the chessboard.

However, this behavior of the young player of the Su Hu team made it difficult for the two commentators.

——This is already the dragon among dragons, what else can I do?
Seeing this, Song Jin couldn't help but make a joke:

"...How about we start a game of idioms?"

This is to liven up the atmosphere and also to make it clear to the guide:
There's nothing I can say about this situation! If I don't say anything else, I'll be speechless!

But the director didn't make it difficult for her and quickly responded, "We've just asked the backstage to set up the second game, and will bring it up to you right away! Switch over and talk about this game!"

...

...

“…Brother Tian.

"You can ask us not to talk about this during the live broadcast, but if Rui Zhao really wins the Rookie of the Year award at the beginning of next year...what should we do then?"

Just as the chessboard for the women's double chess match was pushed onto the stage, Lu Wenjie whispered to Shang Chaotian below the stage:
"You also know that Rui Zhao and Lin Ruixin are the only two chess players who have made it out of the circle!

“On a normal day, fans would quarrel and argue with each other, but most people outside the circle might not know about it.

“But if Rui Zhao really wins the Rookie of the Year award, and then takes advantage of the situation to find Lin Ruixin and play a head-on game with him… I’m afraid that no matter who loses, the pace will be so fierce!”

"We'll talk about it when the time comes!"

Shang Chaotian anticipated for two seconds the river of blood that would occur, and immediately became an ostrich with a headache.

"Rui Zhao may not be able to win the Rookie of the Year title, so don't think the situation is so bad!

"Look at the chess first, look at the chess first!"

Lu Wenjie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and continued to remind his chairman:
"Hey, Brother Tian, ​​weren't you constantly switching between the game between Xiao Lei and Yu Hong on your phone? Can't you see the situation clearly?

"The game between the two players has already reached the endgame, and the AI ​​still predicts that the white chess piece will have an advantage of about one point.

"The little sheep may win half a point or one and a half points in this game. But in short...

“I can’t lose anymore!”

...

...

"Liu Yuhong is 8th dan. In this game... White wins 40 points and 3 pieces.

"Do you confirm this result?"

On the same day, at 5:55 pm.

The second table in the last round of the Women's Weiqi League, the focus match between Dongjiang Team and Suhu Team, ended after nearly five hours of fierce battle.

The referee counted the numbers using a computer and then whispered the result to Liu Yuhong.

Queen Mulan was not surprised by this result - she had watched the endgame carefully until the end, and as a chess player of her level, she was mentally prepared.

But before the final confirmation, she still looked at her young general on the podium with a hopeful look.

Unfortunately...what Queen Mulan expected did not happen.

Although the game was still going on, the little witch's red eyes, which looked like they could shed tears at any time, told it all.

what……

Jingjing...still lost!

Liu Yuhong sighed helplessly but predictably.

Although she felt indescribably unwilling in her heart, she nodded to the referee on duty.

As the outcome of the second game was settled, Zou Yang, who could no longer wait, did not even bother to greet his opponent. He immediately left his seat and came behind Rui Zhao to take a look at the situation on the board.

After staring at the board for three seconds, the female celebrity waved her fists vigorously twice and let out an excited roar!

At this time, Yang Manjing, who noticed that the game on the next stage had ended, also realized something.

She immediately looked at Liu Yuhong on stage 2, but only saw him shrug his shoulders with a wry smile on his face, then silently mouthed "I'm sorry".

Although these actions were not legal in theory, the referee, knowing that the outcome was already decided, did not do anything to stop them.

The little witch was stunned for a moment when she saw her idol's movements. Then tears as big as beans burst out of her eyes and she burst into tears.

...

...

Twenty minutes later, as Yang Manjing, a player from the Suhu team, sobbed as she watched her opponent finish the last official move, the 2023 China Women's Go League A officially came to an end.

After using the [Emergency Relief Clause] to introduce super rookie Rui Zhao during the season, the Dongjiang team made great progress in the second half of the season and did not allow the Suhu team, which had been winning all the way, to widen the gap by even half a point.

In the last round of head-to-head competition, thanks to Rui Zhao's great victory in slaying the dragon and Zou Yang's long-game victory, the Dongjiang team finally caught up with the points gap with the Suhu team, and relied on a 100% main-general stage winning rate to overwhelm the opponent and become the new Women's Weiqi League champion!

Zou Yang, the core of the team and the fighter in Women's Go League for twelve years, finally got her wish!
