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

Chapter 374 First Night

"Shinto, thank you for your hard work this afternoon!"

February 2, 19: p.m., in the restaurant of Dongjiang Hotel.

When Natsukawa Aoi saw Shindo Hiroaki, who had just finished various interviews, summaries and reports, she waved and greeted him with her usual energetic manner.

However, the Japanese throne who had just walked to the table had a helpless smile on his face.

"Ah! I lost completely...

“Although I have tried my best to prepare, the opponent is undoubtedly the best in the world, and there is indeed a gap in our level.

"Sure enough...I'm still thinking too much!"

However, after hearing this self-deprecating remark, Xia Chuan Aoi's smile froze a little:
“…Huh?

"You still...really thought about it?"

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Shindo Hiroaki's eyes widened:

"Didn't you encourage me to try my best to win this game yesterday?"

"But that's just me reading the air and comforting you!"

Xiachuan Aoi also looked very surprised:

"This is Liu Shixian! The Liu Shixian who is recognized as the absolute No. 1 chess player throughout history!

"Shinto...

"You wouldn't...really take my words of comforting you seriously, right?"

"what--?!"

Shindo Hiroaki was immediately embarrassed and his expression began to become unnatural.

No! Am I the only one who thinks... I need to work harder?
In the eyes of others, am I really that incapable of knowing my own limitations?!

Just when the Japanese throne was about to start tapping the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with his toes, Natsukawa Aoi, who was originally full of surprise, suddenly couldn't hold back her expression and started laughing with her hands covering her mouth.

"Hey, Shindo!

"Don't care so much about what others think!

"To be honest, the chance to compete for the runner-up is right in front of us, so we have to fight hard no matter what!"

At this time, Shindo Hiroaki already understood that this was another old friend teasing him on purpose, and complained with a slightly red face:

"Um... Aoi!

"You're already in your thirties, can you please stop being so noisy?"

"Hello--

"It is very rude to mention a lady's age in front of her!"

...Can you be considered a lady with this personality?

Shindo Hiroaki complained in his heart, but in order to avoid extra trouble he did not dare to say it out loud:

"Okay, okay...I was wrong!"

however……

The female Honinbo complained:

"Hey, what's with that expression on your face?

"Do you think I'm not a lady at all?"

Uh……

Can you notice this?!
Shindo Hiroaki was slightly frightened, and just as he was about to explain, his old friend suddenly smiled again:
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore! After all, you are almost thirty-five years old!
"In the afternoon, I met a Chinese chess fan who knew Ying language. After signing his autograph, he said to me with great emotion, "You are still playing! And you are so good at it!"

"In China, at this age, you can almost participate in the veterans' competition!"

"Uh... Well, it's not that exaggerated..."

Shindo Hiroaki's expression is still awkward:

“The essence of Go lies in persistence.

“For me, it’s just about trying to stay in shape as much as possible.

"Besides, although Ichijo, Ueno, and Yamagami have gradually grown up, I think... if I can play for a longer time, it may be of some help to the development of Go in my country..."

Xiachuan Aoi chuckled:
"Why are you being so euphemistic?

"In the end, I still don't trust that bitch!"

Uh……

The Japanese throne was speechless again, thinking that sometimes it was not always a good thing for an old friend to be too smart and clever.

But Xia Chuan did not embarrass him too much and quickly continued:
"But I can understand that! After all... I am an old man too!
"Wang Haocheng is preparing to have a child now, but I'm still trying so hard to stop a little girl. Sigh!"

"Don't be so responsible!

"Life is definitely bigger than Go."

"But Go is also one of the most important parts of my life!"

Xia Chuan Aoi sighed:
"Wait another two years!

"At least I have to wait until Li-chan grows up before I can feel at ease!

“That’s it…” “That’s it…?”

Seeing that his old friend was quite hesitant, Shindo Hiroaki couldn't help but ask further.

Xiachuan Aoi smiled bitterly:
"It's just that I guess it's inevitable that that little girl will get back at me!"

...

...

"Um, everyone!

"Tomorrow's challengers will be announced soon tonight, so we... need to confirm them as soon as possible."

At the same time, in Dongjiang Hotel, in the Huaxia team’s temporary meeting room.

The five members of the Huaxia men's team and coach Jiao Kai gathered together and held a combat meeting.

Unlike the women's team, where the strength gap is more obvious, it is difficult to say that there is an absolute strength gap among the five players of the men's team this time.

Therefore, who among the remaining four will take the stage first to challenge tomorrow has become an issue that needs to be discussed in earnest.

But what made Lei Qi speechless was that after Jiao Kai said this, everyone looked at each other and no one answered for a while.

But...I can understand it!

Lei Qi sighed inwardly, feeling a little helpless.

Although all the teammates are now the main players of their respective Weiqi teams, but...

As we all know, the commander-in-chief and the person in charge are different.

Xiong, Tang, and Sun are all stupid, dumb, and unreliable. Although they occupy the main position by virtue of their chess skills, the actual decision-makers in the team are Ni Jue, Huang Boyan, and Luo Xi.

As for Engineer Dai... although he is indeed the boss of the team, he is a self-contained person. Without someone like Ni Jue or Ji Qiujuan who has a good relationship with him to serve as his substitute, his effectiveness in twisting the rope is greatly reduced.

It’s better for you to take the lead!

Lei Qi made up his mind and was about to recommend Dai Ran to Jiao Kai, but suddenly he heard Dai Gongzhineng's dull voice:

“Coach Jiao, if possible, I’ll go first.

“Although I have been practicing fast chess recently, there is still a gap between me and Liu Shixian, especially in the second half of the game when I run out of time.

"But I let him rack his brains in the first half of the set, so I have some confidence."

"……I see."

Seeing that Dai Gong took the initiative to recommend himself, Jiao Kai nodded and then looked at Lei Qi.

Lei Qi also nodded in agreement.

So Jiao Kai looked at the other three and asked:

"Anyone else disagree?"

The three of them shook their heads - they always found the deployment of troops troublesome.

"Then... Dai Ran, I'm counting on you!"

"It should be." Dai Gong's answer was still concise.

At this moment, a certain monkey seemed to be suddenly inspired, and took the opportunity to ask the veteran of the team something that many people wanted to know but was a little sensitive.

“Um…Brother Dai, I actually have a question!
"You and Liu Shixian are both called 'artificial intelligence' because of your high AI match rate and dog-like performance. But your performance in fast chess is very different from his. Why is that?"

After this was said, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtly awkward.

Although this question may seem to be just a casual question at first glance, it actually has the flavor of inquiring into the other person's daily thinking and chess-playing habits.

In the professional Go world, top players are likely to be targeted if they expose their habits too thoroughly.

Therefore, although this question is often discussed among chess fans and even in the professional circle, no one has ever really asked Dai Gong.

However, Dai Gong didn't seem to care at all. He smiled and started talking:

“He and I have similarities and differences!

"The similarity is that he and I have played a lot of games against AI, and his chess sense is indeed closer to AI than others.

"But... the difference is that he should have practiced more than me, and my brain should be faster than his.

"The way it shows on the board is that I am a little bit better in terms of straight line calculation. So when I am in good form, I can sometimes have a slight advantage over him in terms of the quality of my moves.

"But... in other aspects, he is stronger, especially his chess sense formed through a large amount of training.

"So, once I don't have time to calculate, I may make a lot of mistakes. But he can still ensure the quality of his moves with his chess sense, and smoothly guide the situation to a favorable one.

"Why do people say that to beat Xiao Liu, you need to try to lead the game into a complicated situation of chaos in the middle game? It's because his linear calculations are not top-notch, but he can make up for it with his excellent chess sense most of the time.

"But once it gets to a very complicated chaotic battle, with many moves that require counter-sense and rely heavily on calculations, it's relatively easy for him to reveal his flaws.

"However, Xiao Liu himself is also very clear about this, and often uses various clever moves to simplify the situation, so it is not so easy to fight with him..."

Well, that is indeed the saying...

After listening to Dai Ran's summary, Lei Qi nodded slightly to show his agreement - because this statement was indeed in line with Liu and Dai's performance on the court.

only……

"Will use various clever tricks to simplify the situation"...?

The young man couldn't help but think of the flying move in the last game of the second stage and fell into deep thought.
