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

"I lost……"

June 6, in the chess room of Tongge Hotel.

A focus match has just ended in the quarterfinals of the first Tongge Cup World Championship.

Lei Qi, who won the "big prize" in yesterday's lottery, ultimately failed to complete the task of stopping Young Master Liu.

Although he used strong moves in the middle game and dragged the game into a muddy battle, Liu Shixian seemed to be well prepared. Facing Lei Qi's fierce attack, he turned around and turned lightly. After the transformation, Black completely established its leading advantage and simplified the situation.

Seeing that the situation was difficult to recover after losing about five points, Lei Qi resigned after 247 moves.

"Thanks for the advice."

Liu Shixian also politely returned the greeting to the young man, then curved his lips slightly again and said to him gently:

"Want to replay?"

“Uh… no, thank you.

"I...have some other things to deal with."

Lei Qi decisively rejected the proposal.

After all, just three days ago, a sincere fool sold him out in public.

Now he had to review the situation with Young Master Liu, who knew that he cared about Rui Zhao. He could never expect the other party to change the subject over again if he disagreed with him, so the young man decided to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

Especially, I must have lost more than three and a half points in this game...

But... as the saying goes, what you fear is bound to come true.

"……Yeah?"

Hearing Lei Qi's answer, Liu Shixian smiled slightly, and said softly as if he could read Lei Qi's mind:

“Well…actually, you don’t have to worry too much about the fact that you lost more than Rui Zhao.

“In the game against her, I did play more loosely in the first half.

"But I always take the game with you very seriously!"

"...Thank you for your care."

Lei Qi said a little unhappily.

Young Master Liu seemed not to have heard the emotion in the boy's words, and his tone remained the same:

"hehe……

"Then I look forward to our next meeting.

"...either with you or with that little girl."

...

...

After collecting the chess equipment, both parties accepted media interviews. Afterwards, Master Liu went straight back to his room without staying any longer.

For Lei Qi, who had just been defeated, in addition to looking for a high-speed rail ticket home, he did have some other things to deal with.

The Tongge Cup journey has ended. Before the Yingyi Cup at the end of next month, there will be no major individual competitions at home or abroad, so he naturally has to start preparing for the two team competitions.

First...the new Weiqi League will start on the 6th of next month in Changchang County, Hucheng City, Zhejiang Province.

In the last Weiqi League, although Lei Qi performed very well in the playoffs, in the semifinals, due to the outstanding performance of Ni Jue and Shangguan Sheng, Dajing team lost to Qiantang team with a total score of 3-5 for the second consecutive year and was once again blocked from the Weiqi League finals. This made Lei Qi, who watched his "strong rival" win the championship, feel quite uncomfortable.

In this league, Rui Zhao not only started to lead the team on his own, but even in the few rounds of the league that have ended, he was not inferior to Dongjiang and Suhu teams at all.

Therefore, Lei Qi is putting in his best effort in this season's Weiqi League, not wanting to be inferior to others in league results.

And the second thing... is about the qualifying competition for the next Nongshim Cup in mid-July.

Thinking of this, Lei Qi stared at it for a moment, then took out his cell phone and called a number he didn't usually contact - Ni Jue. The reason for calling was because in yesterday's round of 16, Ni Jue unfortunately lost to Sun Yi and officially achieved the achievement of "Sun Monkey's two-star Meng Huo". Now he is probably back home in Qiantang City.

Soon, the call was connected:
"Hello, Ni Jiuduan! I'm Lei Qi, sorry to bother you!
“Ah? Ah…

"I'm not as skilled as others, there's nothing to say. I will continue to work hard in the Yingyi Cup at the end of next month!
"Uh... the main thing is this: at the beginning of next month, you should arrive in Changchang County on the evening of the 5th, right?

"If it's convenient, I'd like to treat you to a meal that evening...

“Well… yes.

“I will invite both Chairman Shang and Vice Chairman Lu.

“…Yeah, that’s right.

"I will also explain the matter of the Tianyuan War at that time."

...

...

On that day, the Tongge Cup quarterfinals ended.

Except for Liu Shixian's extremely strong victory over Lei Qi, the results of the other three games were enough to raise the blood pressure of South Korean chess fans.

Sun Yi played stably against South Korean veteran Shin Chung-yoon, not giving any chance to the old world champion whose overall condition had declined a lot, and successfully defeated his opponent.

Xiong Siyi has been in poor form since the Nongshim Cup, and his rating has dropped to fifth in China. But he had good luck in the Tongge Cup, and drew two not-so-strong opponents, Geng Zhizhen 7th Dan and Uesaka Rei 2nd Dan.

In the quarterfinals, facing South Korea's Lee Jung-yeon, who has been in mediocre form recently and relied entirely on waiting for a spoon, the Little Bear won in the chaos and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

As for the last game, it was a small upset.

Facing Xu Xiangheng, who had just won the Sanshuang Cup not long ago, the more prepared Shindo Hiroaki performed well, continuously expanding his lead from the start, and finally defeated the strong opponent to enter the semi-finals of this Tongge Cup.

However, although South Korea lost three generals in one round, the Chinese side was also in mourning.

Although this round of competition is over, there are still two Chinese chess players in the semi-finals. But after Lei Qi, who was highly expected, was defeated by Master Liu, it is hard for Chinese chess fans to imagine that Xiao Xiong, who is in average condition, and Sun Yi, the famous "strength and weakness detector", will defeat Master Liu, who was in full condition in the first two rounds...

...

As expected, on June 6, the final competition of the Tongge Cup ended.

After nearly being defeated by the live broadcast queen Zhao Tianhou in the round of 32, the world's number one player Liu Shixian woke up as if from a dream and showed excellent competitive form afterwards.

After once again defeating Sun Yi in the semi-finals and easily defeating Xiong Siyi, who took advantage of Shindo Hiroaki's mistake to enter the final, with a total score of 2-0 in the final, Liu Shixian won his eighth world championship, surpassing Shang Chaotian and Lin Ruixin, and tied with South Korea's leading player Moon Bo-hyun for third place in history!
...

...

"Well, another perfect victory...

"When Liu Jiudan gets serious, he's really amazing!"

In the afternoon of June 6th, at Tianfu International Hotel, Chengdu.

Rui Zhao, who is about to challenge the Chengdu women's team away tomorrow and is currently waiting to check in, couldn't help but sigh softly as he watched the second game of the Tongge Cup final that just ended.

This match was also uneventful. After the opening, Xiong Siyi, who played with black, had a downward trend in his winning rate. He had almost no chance in the whole game, just like the first set of the final...

...Oh no, to be more precise:

In this Tongge Cup, apart from the fact that Master Liu was given a warning by the Chinese live broadcast queen when he first appeared, the rest of the games were almost the same:
Young Liu took the lead at the start → Young Liu made a series of brilliant moves → Young Liu had a huge advantage → Young Liu called it a day → Young Liu gave a speech expressing his gratitude for the victory.

In fact, in the chat room watching the game on Yiguo, there was already a group of chess fans who were dissatisfied with the result and angrily denounced that "a bunch of male chess players together are not as good as that little girl named Zhao Tianhou", but Rui Zhao naturally never liked to pay attention to anything other than the chess game, so he didn't even watch it.

Next, I have to perform well in the Chinese Weiqi League to ensure that I will have a starting position next year!

At the same time, I must strive to enter more world competitions and meet more top players. This time, I finally got Liu Shixian, 9th Dan, to promise that he would give his all whenever we meet in the future, so I must seize this opportunity!
After watching the game, Empress Zhao Tian secretly made up her mind:
After all, looking at it now, Sister Xuefei and the others...

It's already a bit weak... (End of this chapter)
