"Rui Zhao! Didn't I just tell you last time that this won't happen again?!

"Tell me, are you going to piss me off to death?"

Five minutes later, in the players' lounge of New Century Grand Hotel.

Rui Zhao, who had just taken out his mobile phone, received a call from head coach Yu the moment he turned it back on - it seemed that Old Yu had been playing since the game ended.

After hearing the angry roar from Old Yu Jiuduan on the phone, Hanhan secretly thought that it was not good. At the same time, she had become a little smarter during this period and immediately began to do her best to try to avoid being scolded:
"Uh... Mr. Yu, I won this game by half a point!
"And! He even beat a master like Ueno Kyudan..."

"Don't change the subject! This can't hide the fact that you messed up the endgame again!"

Old Yu Jiudan was not fooled by the student at all and started to list the student's crimes directly:
"Let me ask you! Why did you click on move 173? You could just click on the ending!

"Don't you always make stupid mistakes? Why did you do something so outrageous at this time? Do you know that this move will cost you almost four points?"

Rui Zhao, knowing that he could only take the blame, shrank his head in grievance and said without much confidence:
"At that time, I felt that the white piece below could be killed, so I made the move..."

"Can you kill?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone paused, and then there was a series of mouse clicks. After a while, Yu Qingguang answered:
"Well... this is indeed a disaster...

"But even if you win this fight, you can't kill him! White still has a fight to catch his breath!"

Rui Zhao hurriedly said: "So, that's why I stopped at 179 moves..."

"Oh my, I really don't know what to say to you, you little warmonger!"

Even through the phone, Rui Zhao seemed to be able to feel the old Yu Jiudan beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"Did you know that you had an advantage of more than one point at that time? You should have played hard and won the game, right?!

"Your endgame was already bad, and you're still trying to be fancy! Do you know how it all turned out in the last half point? I was almost nervous to death when you attacked the right bottom move?!"

"I, I just did this because I think I'm a bad official!"

Rui Zhao said that he actually had reasons to say:

"As long as I kill this piece and force Ueno 9th Dan to admit defeat, then there won't be a need to end the game!

"That's how I defeated Senior Sister Zou in the semi-finals of the Fan Air Battle!"

Yu Qingguang on the other end of the phone was startled at first, then he couldn't help but complain angrily:

"You kid, why don't you study hard for other things? Why are you learning the Daigong style of finishing?"

um, yes.

Rui Zhao was not the first one to have this unorthodox idea: "As long as I am far enough ahead, I don't have to worry about the endgame."

There was a master who had walked alone on this "unimagined road" before - that was Dai Ran, who was known as "Dai Gong Intelligence".

It is recognized in the chess community that Dai Ran’s endgame moves are biased.

This problem is not innate. In fact, when Dai Gong still had hair, his chess style was quite balanced, without any obvious shortcomings.

Perhaps if he continues on this path, Dai Ran's hair will remain safe and sound. Even if he is a little introverted, he can be noticed by a sister in the circle like Gu Chuxiong, and be won over with a set of clean and neat punches, and he will not be single now.

But the bad thing is that there is a dog at the end of this world...

Since he got the dog, Dai Gong felt that there was always something better than the dog. Since then, Dai Ran has been deeply studying the magic of dog tricks, unable to extricate himself, and his hair on his head has become thinner and thinner, and finally he has become so exhausted that he can't get rid of it.

But the biggest advantage of the dog trick is actually in the layout research and mid-game judgment, and the endgame advantage over humans is not so obvious. Therefore, Dai Gong, who is obsessed with AI, is unable to focus on one thing and lose another, and his endgame level is much worse than before.

In fact, according to conventional thinking, if endgame is poor, you should strengthen endgame training, which is the simplest way.

But Dai Gong directly came up with a "Dai Gong-style ending" that was not stated explicitly but was obvious on the board:
Even though I am bad at endgame, as long as I am ahead enough in the layout and midgame, I won’t be afraid of you cutting me off in the endgame!

Under the guidance of such a unique idea, Dai Gong's mid-game strategy can be highly summarized in one word: full.

He chooses the most ruthless moves among all of them (although he thinks he has restrained himself in his moves). If he doesn't bully his opponent to the point of losing sovereignty and humiliating the country, that would be called weakness!

Therefore, Dai Ran has the mid-game skill that is recognized as having the highest ceiling in the world today. If he is in good form, he will be a feast for the eyes. Even Young Master Liu will have to avoid his edge!
However, in this case, there will naturally be "too much" situations. Therefore, the situation of "Daigong Intelligence" turning into "Daigong Intelligence" in seconds is not uncommon, and it has even become a hot topic in the chess circle.

……

"...I, I understand... I'll be more careful next time."

Although she thought in her heart, "Why can't I learn this?", Queen Zhaotian restrained herself somewhat after being scolded by the teacher, and nodded obediently to admit her mistake.

On the other end of the phone, Lei Jingming was also constantly trying to persuade his friend:

"Oh, Old Yu! Why are you so picky?
"Everyone on the internet is praising our students now! Don't be such a dampener!

"I've read a lot of books on parent-child relationships recently, and they all say that you can't be a 'killer of fun'! You need to learn this lesson well..."

"Get out of the way!

"Sun Wukong's previous experience is still here! I'm afraid that she will stop making progress after making some achievements, so I remind her more often!"

Old Yu Jiudan was obviously too lazy to exchange experiences of getting along with juniors with Lei Jingming, a negative example, but he also felt that Rui Zhao was not so ambitious that he would be complacent after winning a small brain axe, so he restrained his tone and praised him instead:

"But... your layout and mid-game were indeed good in this game...

"Why? Did you make any special preparations for Brain Axe before the game?"

"Ah?" The girl was slightly stunned, then denied it:
“This, this is not the case…

"After all, we don't know who we will face before the game!"

"Um?

"…Then why were you so excited before the game?"

"Eh? Ah!"

Rui Zhao was slightly stunned, then replied:

"This is because I am thinking about learning from the Japanese masters, which is always a pleasure!

"After all, if you want to play chess with foreign masters, you often have to wait for the world championships! It's a rare opportunity!"

"...Is this so?"

Yu Qingguang's tone was clearly filled with doubt:

"But I remember when you met Brain Axe in the second round of the Lily Cup in your dream, you didn't look very excited from the live broadcast!"

The girl blinked and said in a natural tone:

"You're talking about this? This isn't strange!

"At that time... I was thinking that it would be best if I could draw the top players from South Korea! For example, Liu Shixian and Xu Xiangheng are both very good chess players!

"But in the end, I only got Ueno 9th Dan... Um, that...

"It's just... okay, right?"

"..."

This innocent reply from Queen Zhaotian silenced Old Yu Jiuduan.

After a while, Chief Coach Yu slowly said:
“If you are asked similar questions in an interview later, just say you have prepared for it!
"Fortunately I asked first, otherwise Lao Shang might have to pay out another wild card!"

...

...

She actually...

He actually beat Ueno Torachiro? ! ! !

On the same day, at 5:10 p.m.

Lei Qi, who had just defeated Li Zhaokai on the main chess stage, felt dizzy for a moment when he saw the result of the quick chess game next door. He looked carefully for several times before he dared to confirm it.

Aren't you Japanese people that bad?!
How dare a celebrity like him lose to a young girl who just reached the sixth dan?!

I don’t care about my face anymore!

After angrily scolding a bunch of Japanese celebrities in his mind, Lei Qi didn't even bother to watch his teammates' game (he couldn't help anyway). He immediately retrieved his phone from the storage place, opened Yiguo, and carefully reviewed the much-anticipated game.

As a top player, Lei Qi quickly realized after a quick review of the whole game that the Japanese master was not in good shape in this game, probably because he was not so good at fast chess. And when he failed to open up the gap in the middle game, he seemed a little impatient.

But... Rui Zhao was able to win this game not just because his opponent started to get sick after the time ran out.

Before this, the Japanese celebrities had been trying hard to widen the gap with their opponents! It was just that Rui Zhao held on!

From the beginning of the game, the girl played smoothly, fearless and not at a disadvantage. This forced Ueno Torachiro, who had been unable to defeat the opponent for a long time, to make mistakes.

By the time she tried to catch up in the endgame, it was too late, and this ultimately marked the first victory for a female chess player in the 25-year history of the Chinese Go League!

Her mid-game... has completely started to catch up with the top men's level...

Although the young man knew that it would be difficult to "defeat" this "strong rival", seeing that Rui Zhao had already won the Men's Go League, Lei Qi still felt mixed emotions.

This... is really the development trajectory of the "first female chess player in history"!

As Lei Qi was secretly sighing, a tiny bead of sweat oozed out from the corner of his forehead.

In the second round of the Weiqi League the day after tomorrow, the Dajing team will play at the virtual home court against the Pohu team where the girl is.

Although for the Dajing team, which has a "9997" configuration and is the favorite to win the championship this season, the strength of the Pohu team is really not worth mentioning, it should be easy for them to get all three points.

But Lei Qi couldn't help but think of the discussion on the forum before the game about Rui Zhaosheng's promotion to 7th dan:

Queen Zhaotian, the live broadcast queen, will be promoted to the seventh dan as long as she wins one more responsible game!
And if she wins against Liang Sizhen in the next round, she will achieve the outrageous achievement of being promoted to a higher level within a year of being a regular player!

Although to be fair, Lei Qi felt that in terms of strength alone, the fourth person in his team should still be stronger than Rui Zhao, but the problem was...

Even if it is strong, it is probably only very limited!
Considering that Liang Sizhen had lost to Zhao Tianhou in the preliminaries of the Masters Tournament last year, and Rui Zhao is now even stronger than last year, who dares to say that Liang Qidan will not be "Zhao Tianhou's fermented bean curd" again?
Let the "strong enemy" achieve the great feat of "advancing to a higher level in one year" on your team...

...Don’t do that kind of thing!!!

For a moment, Xiao Lei Jiudan's expression was extremely ugly.

Although the probability of Rui Zhao drawing and defeating Liang Sizhen in the next round is indeed low, for the captain of the Dajing team, the mere possibility is enough to make him worry...

……no!
How she will make rapid progress in the future is another matter, but at the very least we cannot let her reach level 7 in her own team in one year!
With this thought in mind, Lei Qi made up his mind and immediately walked towards the rest area for the players, ready to think carefully about the next round of arrangements for Pohu... (End of this chapter)
