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

Chapter 533 Precious but Ordinary

[The final round of Women's Weiqi League - Pohu ascends the throne and announces it to the world! ]

[The 2024 Huaxia Women's Go League A came to an end last night in Shangli District, Shanggu City. 】

[In the last round against Jinfen, the newly promoted Pohu team relied on the stable performance of its main player Rui Zhao, 1th dan, and the key victory of the second player, Japanese foreign aid Shang Ban Li, rd dan, to beat the veteran Su Hu team by a slight advantage of point and successfully won the championship. Su Hu and Dongjiang teams won the second and third places respectively. ]

[This victory not only wrote a new chapter in the history of the Pohu team, but also brought new vitality and hope to the women's Go community.]

【Pohu team's second player, Shang Shangli, who has just joined the Weiqi League this season, also won the "Best Rookie" award for her outstanding performance this season.】

[As a new member of the team, Shangban Li Sandan showed her outstanding strength and potential in the competition and made great contributions to the Pohu team's road to victory. ]

[In addition, the [Best Fighting Award] was presented to Wen Xuefei of the Chengdu team. Although the Chengdu team's performance this season was not ideal, Wen Xuefei's tenacious fighting spirit and team-oriented spirit in the competition won unanimous praise from the judges and the audience.]

【The Most Improved Player Award was given to Yang Manjing of the Su Hu Women's Team for the second consecutive year. 】

[In fact, this award is quite controversial - many chess fans think that Xu Nanying, a third-dan player of the Dongjiang team who has achieved a record of 16 wins and 2 losses this season, is more suitable for this more incentive-oriented award.]

【But objectively speaking, the progress made by "Little Witch" in the past two seasons is obvious to all. She has grown from the second echelon to another quasi-leader who can threaten the status of the two peaks. She is completely invincible on the two platforms. 】

[With such outstanding results, it is completely reasonable to win the [Most Improved Award] again. ]

[As for the remaining two awards, there is no suspense. ]

[The biggest contributor to the Pohu team's victory this time, Rui Zhao, 7th Dan, who is known as the "Queen of Zhao", also won the two major awards of [Most Valuable Player] and [Award for Most Winning Games] with her outstanding performance of not losing a single game this season! ]

[Insiders generally believe that Rui Zhao's strong leadership in winning the championship this time basically marks that the Women's Weiqi League has officially entered the "Zhao era" from the "double-headed competition" pattern. ]

【As Rui Zhao "dominates the world" of Chinese women's chess, many Chinese chess fans are looking forward to the final stage of the Wu Yue Cup starting on December 12. 】

[As we all know, South Korea's "Ice Queen" Kim Woo-eun has won the Women's World Championship five times in a row, and can be said to have a dominant position in the Women's World Championship. ]

[In the past year or so, except for the second Lakeside Cup where the girls won the championship, China has not won any other international competitions. This has made the Chinese chess world and chess fans very eager for a new breakthrough.]

[Whether Rui Zhao, who has been performing strongly recently, can break Kim Youen, 9th dan’s streak of winning the Women’s World Championship in the Wuyue Cup has undoubtedly become another hot topic in the Chinese and even global chess circles, in addition to the LIG Cup. ]

[As for the upcoming Wu Yue Cup finals, the Yiguo Go platform will continue to report the entire process, bringing more exciting games and in-depth interpretations to Go enthusiasts. Please stay tuned! ]

……

Well……

Wolf, this time it's really coming...

On the morning of December 12, South Korea Chess Institute.

Jin Youen, who had just received the news translation on the Yiguo platform from the news source in China, couldn't help but frowned slightly after reading it.

Although since the "famous game of calling mom" last year, the Queen knew that the girl might be a tough opponent for her in the future.

But now when her opponent is about to come in front of her on an almost equal footing, the current number one woman still feels a little unreal.

After all...it's only been a short time!
Obviously looking at her strength last year, one could say that she just played exceptionally well in that game.

I met her in the fan battle finals earlier this year, and I was able to find her weaknesses relatively firmly.

Even when she was eliminated by Takuya Ichijo in the Yingye Cup this year, the Queen was confident that as long as she targeted her opponent, this "Queen Zhao" would not be able to make much waves.

But right now...

Jin Youen couldn't help but swallow.

The Ice Queen knows the current situation of this potential challenger very well. On November 11, in the 28th round of the Weiqi League, the Pohu team played against the Rongcheng team at home. Rui Zhao was caught by the Rongcheng team's general Kuai Liang on the first fast chess table.

Fast chess, and against a female general - logically, this should be a game that "Lao Kuai", a fast chess master, would be happy to see.

However, Kuai Jiudan, who almost lost in the Pinghu rapid chess competition last time, was not careless this time. From the beginning, he strictly followed the "Queen Zhaotian Response Plan", defending his position and not daring to be careless at all.

Even so, facing Rui Zhao's increasingly diverse means of provoking a fight and his improving endgame level, Kuai Liang paid full attention throughout the game, even giving up his favorite rounds. In the end, he felt relieved to win a small victory of one and a quarter points, which was considered a close call.

And just after watching this game, the Ice Queen had to admit that in the fast chess that Rui Zhao was obviously better at, even if she played to her full potential, she would probably not be able to beat Rui Zhao!
As for slow chess, the situation is not very optimistic...

Thinking of this, Jin Youen couldn't help but glance at Zheng Caixi, who had just fought against Rui Zhao, and the message she sent her last night:
[Youen, you really have to be careful of Rui Zhao in the Wuyue Cup finals this time! ]

[When I played against her this afternoon, it felt even harder than when I played against you in domestic competitions! ]

[Although I feel that you should still be a little stronger than her when you give your all in international competitions, I'm afraid it won't be that easy! ]

[Be sure to do more research! Otherwise, you will definitely suffer! ]

Research on...?

Seeing the last sentence, Jin Youen couldn't help but sigh again.

If I don't study how to target her, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything to her!
Jin Youen couldn't help but pursed his lips, then put away his phone and continued to devote himself to the final preparations...

...

...

Today time flies by.

December 12th, the night before the Wu Yue Cup finals.

Still at the Yongle Silver Beach Hotel in Rongcheng City, the organizers held the media meeting and draw ceremony before the final stage of this Wu Yue Cup as usual.

Although the world championship LIG Cup is still underway - Liu Shixian and Lei Qi, the two top-ranked players in their respective countries, will compete in a three-game final the day after tomorrow - the final stage of the Wu Yue Cup still attracted a large number of reporters from inside and outside the circle to come and report, making it very lively.

Everyone knows that compared to the young master of the Liu family who has maintained a strong position this year, the Ice Queen, who has always been considered to have a stronger dominance in the field of women's Go, is now facing her biggest challenge since she started this wave of "five consecutive women's world championships".

The final draw result did not make reporters wait too long:

【Liu Yuhong】 vs. 【Yang Manjing】

[Rui Zhao] versus [Kim Youen]!
When the semi-final matchups were confirmed, almost everyone knew that the final of this Wu Yue Cup would be changed from a "three-game" format to a "one-match final".

There is no doubt that this semi-final match between the top women from the two countries will determine the final champion of this Wu Yue Cup, and even...

Determine the throne of the number one woman today.

After the draw was finalized, reporters from all media outlets rushed to write their articles, providing preview reports and warm-up for this fierce battle. Even the Ice Queen herself looked solemn, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

However, Rui Zhao, another protagonist in tomorrow's crucial battle, appeared to be very relaxed.

After the media meeting, Queen Zhaotian immediately hid in her room, pulled Zeng Guangwen to find Sun Yi, who had just been eliminated by Young Master Liu in the semi-finals, and planned to review today's two LIG Cup semi-finals.

Of course, for Rui Zhao himself, this was nothing strange.

In her opinion, this much-anticipated "competition for the number one woman in the world"...

It was nothing more than another precious but ordinary training opportunity for her on the road to the final battle in February next year...
