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

July 7, 6: p.m., local time in Japan.

As his old friend placed the last piece on the chess board, Hiroaki Shindo, one of the two guests present today, knew that what was to come would eventually come.

Although... even though he had prepared himself mentally for a long time, he still felt that what he was about to face was very embarrassing.

The leader of Japan couldn't help but glance at the audience with his peripheral vision at this moment. He saw that everyone was whispering to each other, and the whole venue was filled with the sound of voices.

Yes.

The Japanese Chess Institute attaches great importance to the first game of the famous player Ueno Torachichiro in the Chinese Weiqi League.

Not only did they invite two heavyweight chess players, Hiroaki Shindo and Aoi Natsukawa, to serve as commentators, they also arranged live broadcasts on the Internet and TV stations, and even carried out a small publicity warm-up!
Although the Toei Ki-in itself does not know whether Ueno can compete against the "Shoten Queen" in the first round, according to Ueno himself, he is 60% sure.

In addition, except for Du Weichen, the other players of the Pohu team in the first round are obviously weaker than Ueno. Even if they cannot match Rui Zhao, it will still be a valuable foreign victory. Every little bit counts!
But who knew...hmm.

For a moment, Shindo Hiroaki's expression was quite complicated.

But there is no way, we have to face the problem!

After encouraging himself in his heart once again, the 26th Honinbo Hiromitsu took a deep breath, finally thickened his 35-year-old skin, and forced a smile and said:

"Ah... this...

"The game of Master Ueno is finally over!
"The final endgame was very precise and beautiful! Isn't it, Natsukawa 7th Dan?"

"Well, yes!

"You are truly worthy of being a celebrity in Japan!"

As an old partner, Aoi Natsukawa responded with a polite smile that didn't even show any embarrassment on her face, which can be said to be the ultimate expression of the saying "As long as I'm not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed."

Wow, you’re really worthy of being called Aoi.

It's a pity that she can act like nothing happened...

The Japanese throne said inwardly, and was about to start talking to the audience about the most embarrassing part, but Xia Chuan Aoi beside him quickly took over the conversation:
"...Okay, that's all for today's market review. Thank you for watching! See you next time!"

what? !

You don't even tell me the result?!

Although Shindo Hiroaki was quite surprised, fortunately, one of the advantages of Japanese people is that they are particularly good at reading the atmosphere.

After hearing that Aoi Natsukawa had no intention of saying anything more, the chess fans present stood up and left obediently.

But judging from their expressions and small movements, I'm afraid that the chess fans who came to watch the game will be upset for three to five days after returning home...

...What a good chess fan!
Shindo Hiroaki couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If this happened in China, the audience would have started swearing and demanded their money back, right?
But at the moment, Shindo has no way to comfort the fans. He can only bow towards the exit and express his apologies to the fans on behalf of his juniors.

Soon, all the chess fans who came to watch the game dispersed.

Natsukawa Aoi, who just had an impeccable business smile, now had a look that suddenly fell and revealed unspeakable fatigue.

"Well...thank you for your hard work, Aoi."

As the person in charge, Lao Xiaoguang comforted his old friend:
"If you have anything to complain about, just tell me. You look really miserable."

"Well, how should I put it... Losing is actually not a big deal!"

Xia Chuan Qidan twisted his expression, thought for a while, and finally spoke:

"When it comes to Go, winning and losing is normal - Li-chan has defeated several high-level players!
“It’s just… it’s still a half-point win or loss.

"If I have to choose between this game and the one I played at the Lakeside Cup, I will definitely choose this one..."

Shindo was stunned when he heard this, then nodded in agreement. And Natsukawa continued:

"...It's a pity...

“There’s no chance to choose at all!”

At the end of her speech, Nyo-ryū Honinbo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although the audience present today has saved the chess academy's face, the outcome of this game will cause a bloody storm on online forums and social media...

The female leader of Japan still has some sense in her mind.

[Breaking news! Queen Zhao Tian defeated Naofu! She achieved the first victory of a female chess player in the history of the Chinese Weiqi League! ]

[As the title states, in the first round of the 2024 Weiqi League this afternoon, the Pohu team played against the Dongjiang team in a virtual home court.]

[Pohu team's star player, "live queen" Rui Zhao, who played in the Weiqi League for the first time, faced Dongjiang team's foreign aid, the Japanese celebrity, "Brain Axe" Ueno Toranoichiro, who also played in the Weiqi League for the first time, on the first fast chess station. 】

[The game was extremely intense, with both sides still tied at two points until the 101st move.]

[But as the time for Brain Axe's retention ran out, he became more anxious as the countdown began.]

[After the 102nd move, he was eager to recover the loss in the upper left, and the gap between them widened. By the time the 146th move was over, the gap between the two sides had reached eight to nine points.]

[Although Brain Axe fought back in the endgame, Queen Zhaotian made another big mistake in the endgame, and the lead was getting smaller and smaller.]

【But in the final fight for the right lower part, which was crucial to the outcome, the Queen withstood the pressure and forced the opponent to give in and stick to her in the 300th move, and the whole situation was smooth. 】【At the 337th move, the whole situation was settled, and the black chess had eight points on the board. The Queen also defeated the Japanese Meijin with a three-quarters advantage, making a good start in the Weiqi League! 】

[It is worth mentioning that this game is also the first victory in the history of Weiqi League by a female player! ]

【在芮昭之前共有吴越云（2001年）、花雪敏（2003年）、章萱（2003及2006年）、邹漾（2018年）四位女子棋手在围甲中出战过共9局，但均未能取得任何一胜！】

[This is not only a great feat of Queen Zhaotian herself, but also a major breakthrough for women's Go in China as a whole! ]

【The Queen Zhaotian who won the brain axe.jpg】

[Thank you for the quick report! Xiao Zhao fans! Don’t wake up! Let’s eat dumplings today for Chinese New Year! ]

【As a rational fan of Zhao, I thought that it would be dangerous if I did it, so I just hoped that I would not lose too much and let Lin Ruixin's fans lead the way tomorrow. But who knew that the dumpling would suddenly be stuffed into my mouth! 】

[I will give Xiao Zhao and Zeng Pang a reward of 100,000 yuan each! To show my support! ]

【? ? ? 】

[No, you call yourself "rational"? ? ? ]

[What's the big deal! I don't have any money either. If I had money, I would give Xiao Zhao popcorn like the rich guy above! ]

[Although everyone says that Japanese chess players and their rank are low, Naofugui is a Japanese celebrity and is a real Chinese 9th dan! This is recognized by all three countries.]

[A girl defeated a 9th-dan master who was in his prime! If not now, when? 】

[Also, I just checked, this should be the only time since the term "Celebrity" was introduced in the Japanese chess world that a Japanese celebrity lost to a female chess player in an official match! ]

[Really? I have to say, things change over time! ]

[In the last century, when the gap between Chinese and Japanese Go was the biggest, even if Japanese sent a female disciple over, it was enough to bully our national players. If a famous person came in person, it would be even more of a waste! ]

[As a result... now the Japanese celebrities can't even defeat a little girl like us who is less than 20 years old! ]

[Objectively speaking, this is indeed the most embarrassing thing that has happened to a Japanese [celebrity] since he made this statement]

[This chess loss is even more embarrassing than the one where Tuzai lost to Xiaolei in the Nongshim Cup! ]

[If that game of chess was called a loss of face, this game of chess can only be called a loss of face! ]

[I just took a look at the Japanese forum. Those people are so ruthless. I'm afraid that I'll just ask for Yu Yu when I return to my country...]

[Hey, don’t wait to return home! ]

[I watched the live broadcast and it seems that Xiaonaofu can no longer stand up! ]

……

Well……

It’s not even two minutes since the game ended, but the discussion has already started on the Chinese forums...

At the same time, in Hall 118 of Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel in Changchang County.

Airi Ichinose, a staff member of the Japanese Chess Institute who was watching the game on site, read the relevant discussion content on the Chinese Chess Forum on her mobile phone, and then glanced at Ueno Torachichiro, who was slumped in his seat with a blank look in his eyes. For a moment, she really didn't know what expression to make.

This time, after watching the seventh round of the Chinese Women's Go League, Uesaka Rei insisted on watching the opening match of the League on site before going back with Ueno, so Ichinose, as an assistant and translator, naturally stayed and enjoyed the VIP treatment of watching the game at a very close distance.

——Although spectators are not allowed to enter the competition venue to watch the game, Xiao Shangsaka is a member of the Pohu Jinlai Environmental Protection Go Club after all. The Go Association will naturally not deliberately stop her if she wants to watch the game up close.

But this time, the viewing experience... was really terrible.

Even Ichinose knew with his toes how big a blow this game would bring to Japanese Go!
It's okay for Rui Zhao, a girl under 20 years old, to act arrogantly at the Lakeside Cup.

It’s okay to block one’s own player from reaching the top four in the fan-air battle.

The media meeting openly asked for criticism, and we can tolerate this!

As a result, this famous person from Ueno came all the way to teach Rui Zhao a lesson, but ended up getting killed? ! ! !
At this moment, it was hard for Ichinose to imagine how the top executives of the Toei Chess Institute felt when they watched this match...

I can only hope that Mr. Kobayashi stays in good health!
And what's even worse is...

His future rising star is also watching this game from a very close distance, just like him!
Thinking of this, Ichinose couldn't help but glance sideways at the person he was taking care of.

But at this time, Ko Uesaka also opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the Japanese celebrity who was unable to get up in the arena and the helpless beautiful sixth dan, and did not speak for a long time.

It looks like... he was hit hard...

Ichinose said to himself, and was about to think of how to comfort this little crybaby, but Uesaka Rei murmured first:

"Rui Zhao...actually won against Brother Ueno..."

Ichinose quickly replied:

"what……

"This chess master might have been a little careless in this game, and it happened to be fast..."

"She really beat Ueno-nii-san!"

Before Ichinose finished her first words of comfort, Uesaka Rei raised her voice and cheered for her joyfully:
"Sister Airi, I knew it! Wu and Jin's feats are definitely not isolated cases!
"Girls...are indeed no worse than boys! Female chess players can also beat the best male chess masters!

"As long as I learn from Rui Zhao and work hard, I can definitely shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing Japanese Go!"

"……ah?!
"Ah..." (End of Chapter)
