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

"This chess piece... Is White going to fail?!"

"Well, the lonely white chess piece in the upper right corner suffered too much, it can be said to be a reversal."

"They can beat Elder Du... Is Empress Zhaotian that powerful?"

"Hey! It's not necessarily that the Queen is so powerful! I think it's just that Elder Du himself has declined too quickly in the past two years!

“Although his rating was not high 21 years ago, he could still get very good results if he had a sudden burst of performance.

"But since losing to Master Liu in the 21st Spring Orchid Cup final, there has been no flash of success in the past two years. The rating ranking has dropped terribly."

"It's bad! The elder's fake move has become real!"

"Congratulations to the elder for joining the group of patients who are 'world champions who have been fermented by female chess players'!"

“In the group, Long Bo, Xiao Xiong, Yuan Zhu, Lao Li, Lao Xu, and Da Pu all liked it and expressed their warm welcome!”

“Hmm…I heard it used to be Ice Queen’s fermented bean curd.

"But now that the Queen has made this move, I guess a lot of the first-place champions in the country will be nervous! Today, we'll start with Elder Du!"

"Hey, hey, stop it!
"This isn't a formal match! It's just a 30-second game for fun! The standard for joining the group is to lose to a female chess player in a formal match!"

"Oh, they're playing in the stadium, and I'm confused!"

"But this is embarrassing enough, isn't it? A triple crown champion was tortured in public by a girl under 20 years old!"

"Damn! It's ok for the Pohu team to have a female chess player as the main player next season, but they're not going to have another female chess player as the main general, are they?"

“Isn’t this possible?
"Let a woman be the main player? Isn't this the Gallic Go team?!"

……

...Tsk!

Why didn’t you help blow me when I was having a great time just now, why are you gossiping about me now?

At the same time, the final round of the Tongge Cup women's preliminaries was being held in the Tongge Building.

Elder Du, who was playing a 30-second quick game of chess with Rui Zhao, could not help but complain inwardly while listening to the various whispers around him.

But...Du Weichen couldn't say anything!
Because when the game just started, someone asked if he could watch, and he readily agreed!

In fact, Du Weichen proposed to play this fast chess game for two main purposes.

Well...it was just as he said, he planned to test Rui Zhao's strength.

As the most famous and oldest player in the team, Elder Du not only serves as the captain of the Pohu team, but also serves as the coach of the team.

With this status, it is absolutely necessary for him to play the next game with Rui Zhao to understand each other's strength, which will also make it easier for him to arrange the next season.

Secondly... Elder Du actually has his own little plan: he wants to take advantage of the popularity of this supernova in his team.

You know, the World Championship qualifiers in China are a very complicated thing, and there are many masters who have failed miserably.

Including this year's Tongge Cup qualifiers, in addition to Elder Du's own failure, world champions Tan Yao and Huang Boyan were also upset by their own "depth" and failed to qualify from the group.

Therefore, for Du Weichen, it was far from enough for Empress Zhaotian to advance successfully. He also needed to think of other ways to add some weight to himself.

It was precisely for this reason that Elder Du came to take advantage of the popularity of his new teammate.

Because in official competitions, Rui Zhao has never officially competed against world champion-level players. The highest level he faced was just the first round of the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, when he faced a "quasi-world champion" like Kuai Liang.

Right now, when the wild card spots are about to be announced, this "triple crown winner" of his can play an "in-team friendly match" with the popular new star Rui Zhao under the nose of the organizing committee. Perhaps this can help to improve his reputation and make the organizing committee consider him more.

However, although Elder Du had beautiful thoughts, the reality just gave him two big blows.

Rui Zhao’s fast chess...is much better than I thought!

Looking at the board in front of him, Three-Crown Champion Elder Du couldn't help but secretly say that he had miscalculated.

The game has now reached the 111th move, and Du Weichen's white chess situation is extremely precarious.

In the original layout stage, Du Weichen relied on his experience and took advantage of Rui Zhao's wrong timing in making moves in the lower right corner, and once gained a great advantage.

At that time, Du Weichen still felt that the current number one female chess player in the country was just so-so, and there was still a gap between her and male chess players.

But after White gains a big advantage by staking out the lower right corner, the game enters the middle game.

In the 63rd move, the black chess piece flies up in the upper right corner and launches an attack on the white chess piece that had been shoulder-charged earlier.

Elder Du is an expert at disrupting the game in the middle, so he was not afraid at all. He immediately executed the three-way flying move that he had planned long ago. The two sides then launched an attack and a fight to kill the isolated piece.

As a result, Elder Du felt something was wrong while playing chess:
This little girl... her fighting sense in the middle game is a little too outrageous, isn't it? !

Yes. In the battle on the upper right, Rui Zhao became more and more courageous, and his powerful moves continued.

Although there is only thirty seconds to think about each move, every move is precise and each move directly attacks the white pieces' vital points.

However, after Du Weichen gained an advantage in the lower right corner, he began to think in an advantageous way, thinking that he had already won the game. He played a few moves more seriously and immediately fell into a tough battle.

The two sides played fifty moves in succession around the white chess piece in the upper right corner. Finally, after a hard struggle, Du Weichen's big dragon in the upper right corner was finally saved with great difficulty. It seemed that with one more move, it would be successfully brought back to life.

But Du Weichen was unable to make this seemingly inevitable move.

And the reason is very simple.

Once the white chess piece takes the initiative, it will be difficult for the white chess piece to win the game!
Although the white chess now has a slight advantage in the field after the upper right dragon escaped, in the process of attacking the dragon, the black chess took the opportunity to form a strong position throughout the entire middle abdomen and occupied all the corners.

If Rui Zhao were to lean on the upper left or make a shoulder charge to surround the center, there would be a 99% chance that the game would be lost!
But if you force yourself to break the hollow, that won't work. If you don't make up for this move, Black can kill the dragon. Giving up this dragon is no different from giving up your base in a certain MOBA game.

There's no way a team would give up the crystal to fight the dragon, right? It's impossible, right? !
Thinking of this, Du Weichen, who was in a dilemma, broke out in a sweat.

In fact, objectively speaking, Elder Du’s fast chess is not his strong point.

It's just that the time is really tight for playing slow chess just now, and fast chess requires chess sense. Elder Du claims that as a veteran, his chess sense is no worse than that of a young girl, so he happily proposed this to Rui Zhao, hoping to easily get a "record".

But who would have thought... that the "achievement" was actually me? !
The overall strength of Rui Zhao's fast chess is probably stronger than that of slow chess in terms of relative level!
Especially in the middle game, his sense of smell is extremely sensitive. In the battle on the upper right, he advanced and retreated in moderation, and now there is no war at all!

Moreover, the main battle in this game is concentrated in the upper right area, and other places are not complicated.

Now the upper right corner has been basically finalized, and I am afraid it will be impossible to scrape Rui Zhao's official pieces in other places!
This little girl...

How come he has such a good sense of chess at such a young age!

Just as Du Weichen was sighing inwardly but was at a loss as to what to do, the chess clock beside him started ticking - this was a reminder of the ten-second countdown.

How to do?
Du Weichen was faced with this extremely serious problem, and he thought that he might have to lose his reputation today!
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded:

"Brother Du, Rui Zhao!

"You two... why are you playing chess at this time?!"

Du Weichen turned his head and saw that it was Ni Jue who spoke with a surprised look on her face! Next to her was a young man who he didn't know very well but felt a little familiar.

Now Elder Du has found a life-saving straw!
He ignored the ticking chess clock and immediately stood up to chat with Ni Jue:
"Hey, nephew! You're done!

"I was so tired waiting for your game to end! I even had to play blitz chess with my niece!"

"……what?"

Ni Jue originally just asked this, but he didn't expect Elder Du to directly involve him. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

Just at this moment, the chess clock made a particularly sharp sound, indicating a timeout.

Rui Zhao, who was originally immersed in the chess game, discovered that his opponent had not made any moves, but had stood up and was chatting with his senior brother!

The girl blinked several times and asked carefully:

"Um, um...Brother Du! The game isn't over yet!
"I'll reset the chess clock. Let's continue playing!"

“Ah no no no… just go down to this point!”

Du Weichen quickly replied:

"I was just testing your strength, don't take it so seriously!"

"Ah? Is that so?

"Then, review..."

"Oh, niece! Your senior brother is here! How can we not have a meal together?

"Nephew, did you win the game of chess? Let's go! Let's go have a meal together. It's my treat!"

“…Ah…Okay, okay!”

Seeing Du Weichen gave him three looks in a row within just ten seconds, although he still didn't understand the situation, Ni Jue knew that he had to eat this meal now...

"Rui Zhao, let's go eat first and talk about other things later!"

"Huh? Oh..."

It was just a pity for a certain fool. She still didn't understand what had just happened and still insisted on proposing:
"Brother Du, I have memorized the chess records. We can review the game on the tablet while we eat..."

"Oh, by the way, Ni Jue! Who is this?

"Your friend? Just bring him along so I can get to know him too!"

"Elder Du, I'm Zeng Guangwen..."

"……ah?!
"Why did you become like this?!"

...

...

That night, after the qualifiers of this year's Tongge Cup in various regions around the world were completed, the organizing committee of the event announced the final list of participants.

Of course, the remaining 46 players have already been determined through seeding and qualifying, and the only suspense is the two wild cards.

First of all, the first wild card was finally given to "Dragon Uncle" Huang Bonan. Triple Crown winner Du Weichen was unfortunately not selected.

According to rumors, the organizing committee had originally considered Du Weichen, who had accumulated a lot of historical honors. But it was said that Elder Du had recently lost to a female chess player in public, and fearing that the other players who failed to win would have opinions, they chose Long Bo, who had the highest current points among the failed world champions.

The other wild card was unexpectedly given to Japan.

Taking into account some historical reasons, it is not unprecedented for China to give wild cards to Japan in the World Championships, but it is indeed quite rare.

Moreover, the final candidate given by this wild card surprised many people in the circle:

Rei Uesaka, a female second-dan rookie who has only been promoted to the professional rank for a year, will participate in the main tournament of this year's Tongge Cup World Go Championship with a wild card.
