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

Chapter 368: Each One's January

"Tsk...she is playing chess again!"

January 1, 31: p.m., Zhenze City, China.

The first month of 2024 is about to end, and seeing [Yizhao Qiyi] still playing online chess on the Yigu platform, Yang Manjing, who is on "vacation" at home, can't help but sigh softly.

It's the end of the year, and after a year of hard work, she has no competitions before the New Year, and will stay at her home in Zhenze City until after the New Year.

The reason why "vacation" is put in quotation marks is that in fact the little witch did not rest much, but has been constantly training online chess.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

A certain live broadcast queen who also had no competitions before the New Year has been focusing on online chess recently. She basically spends all her waking time playing online chess, which makes Yang Manjing have no interest in relaxing at all.

Ever since she was defeated miserably in the last round of the Women's Go League, Yang Manjing has been holding back her energy and vowed to avenge her previous defeat, but she has not found a good opportunity yet.

Although she had defeated Zou Yang in the semi-finals of the Wu Yue Cup and entered the final, it was considered a major breakthrough.

But in the final, she was defeated twice by the world's number one female player without any chance of fighting back. However, the little witch did not feel happy at all. Instead, she wanted to become stronger.

——After all, the Queen Zhaotian almost pushed the Ice Queen to the brink of death in the quarterfinals! How could such a result be enough!

In January, both of them did not have many competitions, and at first glance their results did not seem much different.

Yang Manjing only has one Queen's Tournament, and Rui Zhao has no more than one Dream Lily Cup event, which he entered with a wildcard.

In the Queen's Tournament, Queen Zhaotian and Little Witch lost to Zou Yang in the semi-finals and challenger finals respectively.

In the following three-game challenge, Little Sheep failed to wrest the title of Queen from Little Bird, and watched her old rival achieve the Queen's third consecutive title with a total score of 0-2.

In the Mengli Lily Cup, after Rui Zhao defeated the European chess player in the first round, he faced Ueno Torachichiro in the second round. In the end, he failed to create an upset and was unfortunately eliminated in the second round.

Although Rui Zhao did not make any new breakthroughs in January, the little witch did not dare to relax at all.

Because through the contact and understanding over the past six months, she knew that Rui Zhao was practicing chess almost all the time!
If you relax a little, you may fall behind your opponent in an unknown place.

If you want to avenge your previous defeat, you must work harder and be more focused, just like the other party!
Just as the little witch finished observing the enemy and was about to start her next round, she suddenly discovered something quite unusual:

[Yizhaoqiyi] actually left the game and went offline directly!
Ok?
She actually stopped playing chess? !

Yang Manjing was confused and surprised for a moment.

What's going on?
If it was just an ordinary chess player logging off, Yang Manjing would not find it strange at all.

But when there was still a whole afternoon left, [Yizhao Qiyi] went offline directly, which surprised and confused the little witch.

However, this confusion did not last long.

Because she quickly remembered that there was the 14th round of Weiqi League to be played this afternoon!
Sure enough, when Yang Manjing turned to open the live broadcast of [Go Xiaozhao] on Bilibili, he saw that Rui Zhao had already opened several different AIs, and together with Zeng Guangwen, he explained and analyzed Lei Qi's game in this round of Go League.

The reason why Yiguo was shut down is because Yiguo’s built-in anti-cheating system would accidentally damage the AI, making it inconvenient to analyze the chess game.

I. Know.

How could this chess maniac do anything else!

Yang Manjing pouted, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.

...

...

"Lei Qi! Thank you for your hard work! Another win!"

On the same day, at 5:30 p.m., Dajing City.

Lei Qi, who had just finished the 14th round of the Weiqi League, returned to the players' lounge. At this time, coach Fan Zhuo was already waiting in the lounge and congratulated him:
"You've been in good shape lately!

"We have made it to the semi-finals of the Mengli Lily Cup, and since I became the main player again, we have won six games and lost two, which is an excellent result!

"Thanks to you, we now have a chance to compete for the top eight!"

Fan Zhuo said this with passion, and what he said was certainly true.

In the first six rounds of this year's Weiqi League, the Dajing team had an extremely bleak record because they failed to win a single game against their main players.

The team only had 6 points in each game, ranking second from the bottom.

A team with a "99997" configuration is actually on the verge of relegation. It's so miserable that it's really outrageous!
However, as Lei Qi returned from seven consecutive victories in the Nongshim Cup, replaced Li Junyan as the main player and achieved good results, the performance of the Dajing team improved.

From the seventh round to the just-concluded fourteenth round, the Dajing team scored 17 points in 21 games and 23 points in 27 innings. It currently ranks tenth in the standings with points in games and points in innings.

“Ah, thank you Coach Fan!

"But... this is the pit I dug when I was in a bad state before!"

Lei Qi responded modestly and seriously.

Although the recent results have been pretty good, he doesn't think it's something to be optimistic about.

[If you want to beat her, you must become a leader in Chinese Go as soon as possible, both on and off the board.]

What Ni Zhanggen had said to him before kept echoing in his mind, making Lei Qi dare not relax at all.

Although the team has made up a lot of ground at the moment, Lei Qi knows that if he fails to lead his team into the upper half in the end, it will be a huge failure.

There are now 16 teams in the Weiqi League. According to the competition rules, the top eight teams in the regular season will compete for the championship in the playoffs through a bubble match, and the bottom eight teams will use a reverse bubble match to determine the two relegated teams.

Now the Dajing team is only one point away from the seventh and eighth place teams in terms of field points, and only one point away from the eighth place in terms of game points.

Therefore, the last round can be said to be a crucial battle for the Dajing team!
If you win, you will have a chance to advance all the way to compete for the championship, but if you lose, you can only go to the lower half and wrestle in the mud with a group of fellow sufferers.

There is a huge difference between the two! It is far from time to celebrate!
Seeing Lei Qi's calm reaction, Fan Zhuo nodded approvingly, but also seemed to be worried:
"Xiao Lei, don't put too much pressure on yourself!

"Also... the day after tomorrow we will have our last round against the Tiangang team. Will you still step down as the main commander?"

Lei Qi knew what Fan Zhuo meant, and smiled calmly:

"Coach Fan, weren't you the one who pushed me onto the podium earlier?

"Why do you want to replace me just when I finally achieved some results?"

Fan Zhuo was slightly stunned when he heard this answer, then he patted the boy on the shoulder and said:
"As long as you have confidence, just go for it! It's okay even if you don't get the desired result in the end!

"Although the morale in the circle has been a little low recently, it is still full of hope when I think of young talents like you!"

"……Um."

Lei Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing more.

As for the possible showdown between Lei Qi and Lin Ruixin in the final round of the Weiqi League, after all the things that have happened in the past six months, Lei Qi is able to face it with a serious and calm attitude, without any great psychological pressure.

To put it bluntly, no matter how troublesome Lin Ruixin is, can he be as difficult to deal with as Rui Zhao!

But regarding what Fan Zhuo said about the "low morale", the young captain of the Chinese team in this Nongshim Cup couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The root cause of low morale is very simple and direct:
In the Mengli Lily Cup that just ended in January, the world's number one player Liu Shixian defeated five Chinese ninth-dan masters, Zhuang Zheng, Xiong Siyi, Kuai Liang, Lin Ruixin, and Sun Yi, and made it to the finals. He finally defeated Ji Qiujuan with a total score of 3 to 1 and won his seventh world championship.
