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

"Master Bo Guang, congratulations on entering the top 32!"

At 6pm on June 8th, at the Tongge Hotel, Takuya Ichijo's room.

Hiroaki Shindo, who had just finished the second round of drawing lots, came to Takuya Ichijo's room immediately, intending to comfort his junior who had lost today. However, he did not expect that the owner of the room congratulated him first as soon as they met.

"Oh, thank you, one."

Shindo Hiroaki responded casually and glanced inside the room. Just as he was thinking about how to start the conversation, he saw a chessboard and a tablet on the table in the room. It was obvious that the owner of the room was doing some analytical research.

"Are you...reviewing this?"

"Ah... yes."

One said a little embarrassedly:

"This morning's game... was not played very well, so I want to take the opportunity to analyze and review it as soon as possible."

After hearing this and looking at Ichijo's rather calm appearance, Shindo Hiroaki was quite surprised.

After all, before setting out on this expedition, he, as the current number one person in Japan, had just made a solemn vow, but in the end, he was given a warning by reality in the first round.

Facing the Chinese chess player Zhuang Zheng, Yitiao did not perform well today and unfortunately lost after a hard fight, failing to break through the first round.

Considering that my younger generation has always been passionate and has high demands on themselves, they are easily hit hard after failure.

For the Tongge Cup World Championship, based on past experience, he would have to at least reach the top 16 to feel that he barely met the standard. Reaching the top 8 would be considered just OK. How could he remain calm after being eliminated in the first round today?
However, Shindo Hiroaki was happy to see Ichijo's change - he always felt that his junior was too enthusiastic and too depressed when he failed, so he praised him:
"Ichitsu, you've grown up! You're not as depressed as before when you lose a crucial game.

“In fact, the outcome of a game of chess is inherently accidental, so it’s not surprising whether you or Zhuang Zheng wins.

"The essence of Go lies in accumulation and persistence. As long as we can continue to push ourselves to improve, there will always be opportunities for breakthroughs."

“Well, you’re right!
"I was a little too concerned about winning or losing before! Even after you reminded me many times, I didn't change..."

The Japanese chess master's smile was a bit embarrassed, as if he felt a little regretful for not listening to the advice of his predecessors in time.

"It wasn't until recently... when Li-chan started talking to me about this that I realized I was too concerned about the gains and losses of a city or a pond!"

"…Huh? Uesaka?"

Hearing this, Shindo Hiroaki, who was already a little surprised, became even more surprised.

One continues:
"Yes!
"A few days ago, Li Jiang talked to me about her study and communication with Rui Zhao in Huaxia, and she was quite touched.

"She said that Rui Zhao, the superstar who has made rapid progress recently, doesn't usually care too much about the outcome of a specific game, but instead focuses more on whether his chess skills have really improved.

"Li Jiang played four rounds of Women's Go League with her, and Rui Zhao won all four games, including the two women's leaders who have been recognized by China for a long time, Zou Yang and Liu Yuhong, who looked like they would replace them.

"But Rui Zhao did not show any special joy about this. She still practiced chess as usual and played against high-level chess players every day. She was even happy when Zeng Guangwen, the 7th dan who had been unable to beat her before, was able to compete with her again!
"This also includes when she was comforting Li-chan. She believed that Li-chan still had a long way to go and that there was no need to focus on temporary gains and losses. As long as she could make progress in the game, there was no need to carry too heavy a burden of winning or losing.

"In the past half month since returning to Japan, Li Jiang has followed Rui Zhao's instructions. First of all, her mentality has become much more stable, and her daily training efficiency and spirit have also improved a lot. So she told me her feelings.

"If you've watched Li-chan's recent matches, you'll know that her performance has improved a lot recently, including the fact that she was able to defeat a strong opponent this time. That's part of the reason why I naturally want to learn from her."

So...that's how it is!

Shindo Hiroaki couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this, and added to Ichijo:

"Yeah, one, that's it!

“Although you are already twenty-seven years old, in my opinion, you still have a lot of time and opportunities.

“Although we should cherish it, we don’t need to worry too much about the success or failure at the moment. As long as we keep improving our chess skills, we will eventually achieve a breakthrough in our performance.

"You don't have to be too frustrated this time. Ueno, Uesaka, and I will work hard together with your promise to Natsukawa!

“But… accordingly.

"I hope that next time when Ueno and I are eliminated, you can carry the banner of our Japan!"

"No problem, Master Boguang!"

Ichijo, who was not too depressed to begin with, immediately showed his usual passionate side.

After that, the two exchanged a few polite words. Seeing that Takuya Ichijo was in good shape, Hiroaki Shindo did not waste any more time and went back to his room to prepare for his round of 32 match with Guan Chi, 8th dan, tomorrow.

But as Shindo Hiroaki walked towards his room, he felt quite a bit of turmoil in his heart.

Rui Zhao...?

Although when I saw Li Jiang win the game just now, I felt that it was a good decision for her to follow Rui Zhao.

But it's really amazing that a 19-year-old girl can now figure out things that she only figured out two years ago!
Thinking of this, the Japanese throne could not help but stop and sighed in his heart:
No wonder...

The Chinese Chess Association has valued her so much since she was promoted to professional chess player!
...

...

[I really don't understand why the chess association opened a backdoor for Rui Zhao again. It's just a gift to him! ] [Last time, after the first round of the Mengli Lily Cup, a Japanese player was sent to the top 16. This time, it will be easier for Master Liu to win the championship! ]

[That’s good now. Young Master Liu smiled when he saw this result! ]

[I originally thought that Master Liu would have to defeat five Huaying masters in a row to win the championship. Although he is very strong, he still has to be careful. He lost the Samsung Cup inexplicably last time! ]

[As a result, this time he gave Young Master Liu a great gift, and Young Master Liu cleared many obstacles on his way to winning the championship! ]

[Just for the so-called "promotion of Go", they are giving the Queen Zhao Tian unlimited backdoors! ]

[Um...upper floor, if you're talking about the Yumengli Lily Cup half a year ago, I'd agree that Zhaotian's entry into the top 32 was more of a joke.]

[It is true that Queen Zhaotian participated in the competition with a wild card, and the first round match was not a public draw, so it can be manipulated. ]

[But I really can’t say anything this time! ]

[The spot for this tournament was won by Empress Zhao Tian, ​​who stepped on the heads of the "Three Littles" in the women's qualifying round. The first round match was also drawn publicly on the spot. She drew the North American white skin by her own ability. What else can I say! ]

[And don’t tell me, Queen Zhaotian really played a role in promoting Go! ]

[The city promotional video of Gezhou was released the night before yesterday, and it was put on CCTV morning news ads yesterday! ]

[To be honest, because of the presence of Zhao Tianhou, this promotional video is much more eye-catching than those tourism advertisements released in other places. My parents are asking if the queen in the video is really a professional chess player! ]

[Well, it’s mainly because the rhythm of this wave of publicity is so good! ]

[As soon as the promotional video of Gezhou was released this morning, many people on the Internet asked about the background of this "promotional ambassador" and whether he was really a professional chess player. ]

[Originally, the vases placed in other projects were exposed when they were casually dug here, but here comes the explosive point:]

[The Queen is not only a professional chess player, her achievements and abilities are also extremely strong! ]

[She was promoted to a professional dan in advance with all her victories, the champion of the New First Dan Tournament, the champion of the Women's Weiqi League and the best rookie, the champion of the Bay Area Masters Tournament, the champion of the Lakeside Cup and the biggest contributor to the championship, the champion of the Rookie King Tournament, the fastest second, fifth and sixth dan records holder, the women's world runner-up, the de facto top female chess player in China today, and she dominates all the men of her age. Looking around the world, the only person who is younger than her but has better results than her is a little monster like Lei Qi...]

[Therefore, the discussion about the Queen is getting more and more popular, and it seems to be spreading like wildfire]

[As a result, at night, the news that the Queen had passed the first round and would face Young Master Liu was instantly a sensation! ]

[Such a beautiful girl can actually face the world's best player on the stage of the world competition. This is really a hot topic! ]

[Now, on some music sites, some books, and some blogs, "Rui Zhao Gezhou promotional video" and "Tongge Cup Rui Zhao vs. Liu Shixian" are both hot searches! ]

[The attention paid to this game of chess is an order of magnitude higher than last year's chess saint battle and this year's "Dongjiang Miracle" created by Master Liu! It can be said to be a big hit! ]

【Report——Latest news! 】

[The sports channel just changed the men's volleyball national team match tomorrow afternoon and broadcast the match between the Queen and Liu Shixian! ]

【? ? ? 】

[What? Live broadcast?! Are you sure it’s a live broadcast, not a post-edited recording?]

[It’s absolutely true! If you don’t believe me, check out the program! ]

[It is also said that the chess association cherishes this rare opportunity to be broadcast live on CCTV-5 very much. It is said that Chairman Shang will personally partner with Xiao Xiaoniao to give the talk! ]

[Oh my god! Are you serious?!]

[In a slow chess game, a game may take four or five hours! CCTV broadcasts such a long game live! ]

[Next four or five hours? Who gave you the courage to say this?]

[Isn't Liu Shixian's rhythm of fifty hands relay? I'm afraid he will give up in less than two hours! ]

[There are only two and a half hours of time scheduled on the program now! I can only say that CCTV is worthy of its name, and it has figured out everything! ]

[Ah, indeed, this match... doesn't have much suspense. ]

[It seems that attracting so much attention to watch her being beaten up in one game is not a good thing for Queen Zhaotian. 】

[It all depends on whether Young Master Liu will show some sympathy to the queen because she is so beautiful...]

……

"Well……

"Will you... be gentle and considerate to women?"

On the same evening, at Tongge Hotel, in Liu Shixian’s room.

Young Master Liu took a quick look at the discussion on the Chinese Chess Forum regarding tomorrow's game between him and Rui Zhao, and couldn't help but ponder with amusement.

"Although, I wouldn't do something like holding back...

"But tomorrow's game of chess doesn't require too much concentration." (End of this chapter)
