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

Chapter 404 Offensive and defensive exchanges
"Hello, Rui Zhao."

At the same time, in another corner of the chess game hall of the Japanese Chess Academy.

Natsukawa Aoi, who arrived a little earlier, greeted her opponent in Chinese with a heavy accent.

The female Honinbo players in Japan do not understand Chinese, but Go is only played in the three East Asian countries, so the players still have some understanding of the daily expressions in the other two languages.

"Hello! Natsukawa Nana-dan!"

Rui Zhao was slightly stunned, then he said in a panic

However, due to language limitations, the two were unable to communicate much after the greeting.

Xia Chuan Aoi held his chin up and looked at the new Rookie King of China in front of him, and seemed to be very relaxed.

But Rui Zhao didn't have the leisure to look his opponent in the face. Instead, he couldn't help but ponder a question in his mind:

Natsukawa Seventh Dan...Did he really target me last time?
Obviously, she was just an ordinary female chess player who had just been promoted to a professional chess player. There was nothing special about her. Last time, she won in a complicated endgame. I guess...

It's just a coincidence, right?

But after thinking for a few seconds, she still chose to believe Lei Qi's judgment.

After all, Lei Qi seldom took the initiative to message her, so he must have his reasons for being so serious this time.

What's more, if you really find that your opponent is slow to attack, you will still have time to find an opportunity to attack in the middle game!

After making up her mind, the girl closed her eyes and began to make the final adjustments before the game...

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the quarterfinals of this year's Fan Air Battle officially began.

After guessing the first move, Rui Zhao plays black and Xia Chuan Aoi plays white!
...

...

“Um… Vice Chairman Lu.

"Today... why do I feel like our two chess styles are a little off?"

At 1:30 pm on the same day, at the temporary studio of [Go Xiao Zhao].

When Hua Ran saw the 50th move made by White, he couldn't help but ask a question.

“Since the start of today’s game, Sister Rui Zhao played very steadily, and it can be said that she was completely laying out the chessboard.

“Especially the jump down to protect the corner in move 23!

"Normally, facing White's 22nd move of jumping up and making a big move, Rui Zhaojie would either go directly up or directly attack the upper part. But in the end, Rui Zhaojie actually chose to surround! It's not like her style at all!
"What's even more strange is that the relatively stable layout process is more advantageous to Xiachuan Aoi, who has a balanced style of play, but here the white chess suddenly made a slightly excessive shoulder charge, which completely forced the black chess to fight! Of course, in the end, he asked for a hammer, and the two sides immediately began to fight.

"After both sides finally settled down, it was Rui Zhao's turn to make the 47th move. Logically, it would have been a good choice for her to make a flying attack on the white pieces above or on the right, but she ended up making another solid big jump.

"On the contrary, White's small flying attack in move 48 and shoulder charge in move 50 were very proactive and showed a strong desire for a fight!
"If it wasn't for the live footage that showed that Sister Rui Zhao was holding the black piece, I would have suspected that the live stream had made a mistake in the two people's guessing!"

At this time, Lu Wenjie also frowned, squinted his eyes and said:

"Indeed, it is rather unusual for Xia Chuan to be so belligerent...

"However, I remember that in the Lakeside Cup match, Xia Chuankui also competed with Rui Zhao in strength?"

"Well, if you put it that way... it is indeed true!"

Hua Ran confirmed:

"After all, that game left a deep impression on me. Rui Zhao gained a considerable advantage in the middle game.

"When the game started, everyone thought she was going to tie Wang's eight-game winning streak in women's tournaments, but she was actually beaten back by Xia Chuan, 7th Dan!"

Thinking of this, Lu Wenjie frowned even deeper.

Because he remembered: When Rui Zhao lost to Xia Chuan Kui in the Lakeside Cup, Lei Qi found Rui Zhao immediately, thinking that there was a reason for Xia Chuan Kui's abnormal chess moves at that time, and maybe Rui Zhao was targeted. Although Lu Wenjie also felt that something was wrong at that time, and Rui Zhao was indeed targeted by someone, it was just a simple game of chess after all, and there was no other evidence, so he didn't investigate further.

But in the end, in today's game, it was Aoi Natsukawa, a balanced chess player, who kept trying to provoke a fight!

Maybe it was just a coincidence once, but abnormal situations occurred in two consecutive encounters...

This is indeed enough to illustrate the problem!

"I go……

"Are the Japanese now all capable of playing the game of self-torture?!"

Thinking of what Lei Qi said at the beginning, "Just aim at Rui Zhao's weakness of complicated official games and not being good at them", Lu Wenjie couldn't help but mutter.

"A self-torture tactic?" Hua Ran was obviously puzzled.

Seeing that Hua Ran was obviously going to ask the truth, Lu Wenjie glanced at the camera that was broadcasting live and ordered:
"Xiaohua, let's pause the live broadcast for two minutes."

"Ah? Ok, ok!"

Although Hua Ran is introverted, she is not completely blind: she understands that what Lu Wenjie is going to say next is not convenient to mention publicly.

"Xiaohua, this is the situation."

After temporarily shutting down the live broadcast, Lu Wenjie immediately explained:
"As a balanced chess player, Xiachuan Aoi is definitely weaker than Rui Zhao in terms of strength alone - and the current situation is indeed that Rui Zhao is ahead.

"But there was a reason why Xia Chuan Aoi was forcing the situation into a chaotic mid-game battle where he was not as good as Rui Zhao.

"As long as she can hold on and not collapse in the chaos of the middle game, then when it comes to the complicated and chaotic final stage, Rui Zhao's weakness of not being good at complicated endgames will be exposed, and that's when Xia Chuan Aoi will really decide the outcome!
"You saw it last time at the Lakeside Cup. Rui Zhao had a clear advantage but was beaten back little by little by Xia Chuan Aoi in the complex endgame, and eventually lost the game. I think she might want to do the same thing this time."

"what--?"

Hearing this, Hua Ran opened his mouth wide:
"But, but how does Xia Chuankuai know that Sister Rui Zhao is not good at complicated official games?
"Sister Rui Zhao rarely plays complicated endgames in her daily matches! She usually wins by crushing opponents who are weaker than her in the middle game, and loses to strong opponents by failing in the middle game.

“To be honest, even after the Lakeside Cup game, everyone thought that Rui Zhao was probably too tired, so she didn’t play well in the endgame. Few people said that Rui Zhao had a weakness for complex endgames.

"As Rui Zhao's assistant, I know that she has been doing targeted training on complex endgames recently, and I realized that she is indeed lacking in this area. How did Xia Chuan, 7th Dan, know this?"

Lu Wenjie didn't answer at first, but thinking of what Lei Qi said after the Lakeside Cup, he already had a general idea and couldn't help but curse softly:
"……Depend on.

"Could it be that the Dongying Chess Academy has really hired a bunch of people to dig up Rui Zhao's live broadcast video?"

"Ah? What did you say?"

Hearing Lu Wenjie suddenly talking to himself, Hua Ran couldn't help but ask.

However, Vice Chairman Lu naturally did not intend to disclose such a far-reaching speculation:

"Nothing! I'll contact the reporter sent by the central media and ask him to find out during the interview.

"But I feel that no matter what, Rui Zhao is definitely being targeted."

"what?

"Then, what should I do?!"

Hua Ran couldn't help but said anxiously.

But Lu Wenjie was not too worried:
"What should I do? There is nothing to do.

"A few months ago at the Lakeside Cup, Xia Chuankui used this method against Rui Zhao and only won by half a point.

"And today she still wants to use the old tricks to defeat our 'future number one woman'...

"She doesn't think she can hold her own in the middle game this time?"
