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

"Takuya Ichijo won this game... relatively easily."

At 8:3 pm on August rd, in a meeting room of the South Korean Chess Institute.

Before starting the review of the quarterfinal match between Takuya Ichijo and Rui Zhao, the speaker Jin Youen gave a brief summary.

This afternoon, the quarterfinals of the major Yingyi Cup event were held, and there were two South Korean chess players participating. Naturally, the South Korean Chess Institute organized a seminar for first-line chess players to watch the game.

Since it is so rare for everyone to get together, apart from the two quarter-final matches involving South Korean players, the remaining two games will naturally be just a matter of picking haywire.

Therefore, after reviewing the three games in which Liu Shixian completely controlled Sun Yi, Lei Qi sacrificed a piece to defeat An Mingjiao, and Lin Ruixin reversed Zhu Yuanjun at the last minute, the final quarterfinal match between Rui Zhao and Takuya Ichijo was also brought to the table for analysis.

The person who volunteered to be the main speaker was none other than Jin Youen, the first woman in the world who has done extensive research on Rui Zhao recently.

“…Ahem, hm!”

After the Ice Queen finished her opening remarks about "The Japanese Go Master won easily", a certain Queen Furu, whose cheeks were still a little red and swollen, soon felt that countless eyes were looking at him. He subconsciously cleared his throat and said in a respectful manner:
"Ah, it is indeed easy...

"But I think this is mainly because Rui Zhao Qidan is not in a very good state today..."

“It’s not a question of whether you’re in good shape or not.”

Jin Youen shook his head and interrupted without giving Da Pu any face:
"To be honest, Rui Zhao was in great shape today. He was not at a disadvantage until the 100th move, and even wiped out the slight disadvantage of playing black at the beginning!
"Moreover, if you have studied her in depth, you will know that since she was promoted to the rank of Dan, this Empress Zhaotian has only been able to perform exceptionally well, but has rarely performed abnormally."

"..."

Dae Park looked at Kim Woo-eun with resentment, but as a junior and also a Queen of Bean Curd, he did not force a retort and let Kim Woo-eun continue speaking.

"...I have watched Rui Zhao's chess a lot, so let me first share my personal opinion:

"The reason why Yitiao was able to win this game relatively easily was that he targeted Rui Zhao's weakness.

"Rui Zhao's chess style is very distinctive now. It can be said that he is an extreme fighter, the kind who feels uncomfortable if he doesn't start a fight.

“Moreover, its combat sense is very sharp!

"Just talking about the chaotic mid-game battle... I feel like she can definitely be said to be at the level of a Chinese ninth-dan chess player. If it weren't for the current top-notch experts in physical combat, I'm afraid others would not be able to hold their own against her in a physical battle!

"Ueno Touichiro and Min Yeol... can both be said to be lessons learned from the past."

"Uh... um."

Although Da Pu felt a little ashamed, the people present were all the top players in South Korea today, and forcing an explanation would only make people laugh, so he had no choice but to nod.

The Queen continued:

"But... correspondingly, her official moves are indeed hard to describe.

"In the past, she won against high-ranking male chess players by gaining an advantage in the middle game and winning directly in the middle game, or by having a big enough advantage to hold on to the end. I have never seen her win against a high-ranking chess player in the endgame without losing...

"In today's game, Ichijo Takuya clearly caught her weakness and was intentionally controlling Rui Zhao's power.

"He laid out his moves very simply, never forcing his moves, and his moves were either very solid or very light, leaving Rui Zhao at a loss as to where to start.

"The most typical example is the formation of the white chess piece just now.

"In the 61st move, Rui Zhao stabbed forward, hoping to stab the white chess piece hard, and then enter her own offensive pace.

“But the treatment of Yitiao can be said to be very targeted.

"He didn't connect, but instead pressed forward, allowing Rui Zhao to break through. Then in move 66, he chose to connect on the outside, which was obviously more damaging, to avoid giving the black pieces a chance to attack the two pieces on the outside and the unstable white pieces below.

"His strategy was very successful - by move 74, the white pieces in the middle of the belly became thicker, and at the same time, they echoed the white pieces below. Rui Zhao could be said to have run out of room to maneuver.

"Not only that, during the middle game, Yitiao also made moves that were very targeted at Rui Zhao's official moves.

“Perhaps some of you here are not familiar with the characteristics of this Empress Zhaotian’s official game—Rui Zhao’s official game can also be said to have very distinct advantages and disadvantages.

"The advantage is that once she is not under enough pressure and the game is concluded simply, she can maintain extremely high accuracy and almost never make mistakes. Last year's match against Asakura Haruna in the Lakeside Cup was a typical example. In this round of 16, she faced Brother Li and had to close a large number of small official moves in a very short time. She also completed them all without missing a single one under great time pressure.

"But the downside is that once faced with complex endgames, her weaknesses in point selection and closing details are greatly exposed.

"So, in this game, Takuya Ichijo intentionally gave up the middle part of the board during the move, almost turning the entire middle part into the place where the endgame was set, which was to test Rui Zhao's endgame level!
"Under such targeting, Rui Zhao's advantages could not be brought into play, and his weaknesses were magnified. Although he seemed to be at an advantage in the middle game, his winning rate dropped rapidly after the endgame was finalized. At the 196th move, he saw that the gap could not be reversed, so he had to resign and admit defeat.

“That’s how I feel about this game.

"To sum up: Rui Zhao is now a qualified core player of the Chinese Weiqi League, with very distinct strengths and weaknesses. Her strengths are extremely long, while her weaknesses are hard to describe in a few words." If she is not given enough attention and the opportunity to give full play to her offensive and killing advantages, then she may really be able to defeat the world's top players - this was the case in the two games between Ueno and Min Lie, and even the game between Xiao Liu and her was reversed in the last official move.

"But once her technical characteristics are highly studied and targeted, it is easy for her to fall into a tough battle, so she is still far from being able to challenge the top players - this game is a typical case.

"If you meet her in international competitions in the future, just be prepared like Ichijo did today. There is nothing to be afraid of."

After Jin Youen said this, there was a lot of whispering at the scene.

Then, a young chess player raised his hand and asked:
“Uh, Sister Youen, I want to ask a question.

"Since he was being targeted like this, why didn't Rui Zhao force a fight like he did when he played against Brother Li?"

"Hey! This move can only be used against weak attackers like Brother Li!"

Seeing that Lao Li was still depressed in Dongjiang City and did not come to the scene, Jin Youen did not bother to be polite with his boss:

"The top three chess players in Japan are actually all power-oriented, so Rui Zhao's unreasonable move against Ichijo is probably a suicidal act."

After hearing this, the young chess player nodded, seeming to understand.

The other chess players around exchanged some ideas with each other, but in the end they all nodded and agreed with Jin Youen's opinion.

Including Da Pu, whose face was slightly swollen, he also lowered his eyes and pondered, as if thinking about something. The review of this chess game ended here.

but……

Although a lot has just been said, the Ice Queen's research on Queen Zhaotian, whose rise is extremely fast, is certainly more than that.

For example, she was actually clearly aware that this time, Takuya Ichijo's research on Rui Zhao seemed to have gone a step further than the "Zhao Tianhou Response Plan" at the beginning.

When writing the response plan, the top Japanese chess players also suggested the "risk of survival" approach of using a chaotic battle to create chaos on the board and put pressure on Rui Zhao's endgame.

But now, they have been able to make Rui Zhao unable to exert his strength through layout and flexible mid-game response!

This method goes one step further!

Could it be...

Maybe Yitiao has learned something from others during this period?

Jin Youen couldn't help but think in his heart.

...

...

“…Yeah, yes.

"Compared to the past, this time in the Yingyi Cup, I was able to better target my opponent and learn some ideas from other chess players' matches with Rui Zhao, so I was able to win this game relatively smoothly."

At the same time, in Yingyi Building, Dongjiang City.

In response to questions raised by domestic reporters after the game, Takuya Ichijo, who had just entered the semi-finals of the World Championships and created his best record in the history of the World Championships, answered truthfully.

Hearing the interviewee say this, the reporter naturally took the opportunity to dig deeper:
"Like This!

"That chess master, may I ask which 9th dan master did you learn from?"

"what……"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on the face of the Japanese chess master for a moment.

"That guy... isn't a ninth dan."

"Not the ninth stage?"

“Uh…yes!

"The people I learn from are actually Chinese chess players...

"Zeng Guangwen, seventh dan."
