Chapter 601 New Mulan

[Every generation has its own talents - Warm congratulations to Yang Manjing, 7th Dan, for winning the national women's championship for the first time! 】

[In the third round of the three-game title-deciding match of the Huaxia Women's Go Mulan Tournament that ended this afternoon, the 17-year-old Zhenze young player, the "little witch" Yang Manjing, was at a disadvantage in the early stage. She took advantage of the slightly excessive attack of Liu Yuhong, the 8th dan, in the middle game and decisively counterattacked successfully, thus successfully winning the match with a total score of 2 to 1 and becoming the new holder of the [Mulan] title! ]

【Since the 2023 Wu Yue Cup, Yang Manjing has made rapid progress, winning two Wu Yue Cup runner-ups, two fan-air battle semi-finals, and one Rookie King Championship. The results are obvious to all!
[All she lacks is a championship trophy! ]

[And today, before she officially entered adulthood, she finally got her wish and was crowned! ]

【We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to "Little Hermione"! 】

[At a time when we have lost the Sanshuang Cup and Fankong Battle, we need to see more young people come to the fore! ]

[At the same time, we also hope that when Rui Zhao ascends to the upper realm and the domestic women's chess world is leaderless, Yang Manjing, the new generation representative of the Chinese women's chess world, can take up the responsibility of competing against South Korea's Kim Youen as soon as possible, and end the two-year international individual championship drought in Chinese Go as soon as possible! ]

[Exclusive article from Yiguo Go platform, we will continue to bring you related Go news reports in the future. ]

……

The report...came out so quickly!

Time quickly came to March 3th.

Dongjiang City, at Sun Yi’s home.

Sun Wukong, who had just sent a WeChat message of comfort to his girlfriend, turned around and saw the first-hand report from Yiguo. He couldn't help but sigh and seemed quite depressed.

This is partly because his girlfriend lost her title.

After being upset in the semi-finals of the Fan-Air Battle some time ago and becoming a background board for the Japanese genius girl to advance to the Women's World Runner-up, the reigning queen of this Mulan Tournament once again became a stepping stone for the young players in the original team. It can be said that she has bad luck this year.

Moreover, unlike the fan-air battle semi-finals where the outcome is a single game with a high degree of unexpectedness, the Mulan battle is a three-game match!

Looking at the three-game match of this year's Mulan Tournament, Yang Manjing showed a very tenacious fighting spirit, while Liu Yuhong seemed to be a little too strong.

Liu Yuhong might be a little bit stronger in terms of strength, but the fact that she lost the game to her opponent already shows that the level of the little witch is very close to that of the little bird.

Obviously...she is not yet eighteen years old!

Although Rui Zhao no longer participates in women's competitions, due to Yang Manjing's rapid progress, it is entirely predictable that Xiao Xiaoniao's future will not be easy.

On the other hand, the fact that the Yigu platform sent out congratulatory messages so quickly also shows its desire for new chess stars.

——It has been a long, long time since Chinese Go had an international individual champion!
In the fan air battle, let alone winning, China couldn’t even make it to the finals this time!

At the Sanshuang Cup that just ended a few days ago, the world's No. 1 player, whose records were broken by Huaxia Zhaojun at the Nongshim Cup, was not only not affected, but even seemed...

The suppression power is even stronger than its previous performance in the World Championships!

In this competition, the young master of the Liu family defeated Fujimoto Hiroaki, Li Zhaokai, Sun Yi himself, and Lei Qi in succession, and finally defeated Xiong Siyi, who had been in good form recently, with a score of 2-0 in the final three games, and won his eleventh world championship!
During the whole process, only Lei Qi was in a stalemate with his opponent in the middle and late stages of the semi-finals, but in the end he was half a move short in the endgame and ultimately lost by one and a half points.

In the rest of the games, Liu Shixian had defeated his opponents in just over a hundred moves, and he almost turned the World Championship into a performance similar to his one-on-six performance in the Nongshim Cup!

In the past five world championships, Liu Shixian won four of them!
If Dai Ran and Rui Zhao, the old and the young, had not successively blocked the world's number one player in the Miao Family Bailing Cup and the Nongshim Cup, it would be very likely that Young Master Liu would have achieved the almost unbelievable "five consecutive world championships" + "five consecutive Nongshim Cups" terrifying achievements!
The failure of the encirclement and suppression of Liu Shixian once again was another heavy blow to Chinese Go.

For example, after Lei Qi achieved the "eight-loss record" against Liu Shixian in the semi-finals, he showed very obvious unwillingness.

Judging from the live broadcast, he talked a lot with Liu Shixian in an emotional manner, but Young Master Liu just smiled gently. When asked by the media after the game what they talked about, both sides kept silent at the same time, and it is unknown what harsh words they said to each other.

And for Sun Yi, who was once again swept out of the World Championship by the world's No. 1, the actual situation was even worse...

You know, Lei Qi is five and a half years younger than Liu Shixian, they are basically two generations apart!

Judging from the current performance of China's national players, the future will eventually belong to him. If Lei Qi is not anxious to end China's current championship drought, there is no need for him to be anxious.

Sun Yi himself, on the other hand, is only two months younger than the number one person in the world. They are completely of the same generation!

Under such circumstances, he was continuously suppressed by the world's number one player in the world championship. For Sun Yi, who has always been eager to win the world championship, the dominance shown by Young Master Liu was really a bit suffocating.

Just when Monkey King subconsciously felt that his breathing was becoming heavy, the cell phone next to him suddenly vibrated.

Just when he thought it was his girlfriend who replied to his WeChat, he unexpectedly found out that it was some silly little chess girl who came to him:
[Senior Brother Sun! 4000! ]

Ah this...

When Monkey King saw the WeChat message from his junior sister, his expression was a little distorted.

Sun Yi naturally understood the meaning of this number, which was like a secret code - it meant that Rui Zhao wanted to play a slow chess game with him with a winning fee of 4000 yuan.

Because the frequency of appointments is too high, over time, the appointment messages have been simplified to this form...

Sun Yi was speechless and didn't bother to talk to his junior sister in detail, so he called her immediately:
"Hello? Senior Brother Sun?"

“Please Rui Zhao!
"Didn't you see that Yu Hong just had his title taken away by the little witch?"

As soon as the call was connected, Monkey King couldn't help but complain: "I must comfort her first, how can I make an appointment to play chess with you now!"

"……Eh?"

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little confused:

"Has the Mulan battle ended? Is Man Jing the challenger?
"Oh, that's not right... Senior Brother Sun, you mean she has already got the title?!"

"..."

Faced with Zhaojun's bewilderment, the reigning chess master was completely speechless:
"No, you didn't know this?!
"You don't even know that Liu Shixian won the Sanshuang Cup, do you?"

“Not to the extent that!
"I have reviewed and studied all the matches in the Sanshuang Cup!"

Rui Zhao said quickly:

"But, but! I really don't have time to pay attention to the women's competition! After all, I still have to make time for sparring...

"It took me several days to find out that Xiaoli won the runner-up prize in the air battle with a fan. When I sent her a WeChat message to wish her well, she just replied with a bunch of ellipsis marks..."

"...

"I want to give you a string of ellipsis now, okay?!"

For a moment, Monkey King didn't know what expression to make.

Although he knew that his junior sister was diligent and didn't pay attention to anything other than Go.

But he really didn't expect that the Zhaojun of that time had reached the point where she didn't even bother to take a second look at the results of the women's competition!

This time, because of her poor performance in the fan-air competition, there were rumors that she would no longer participate in the women's individual competition...

Most likely, you haven't read it at all, right?!

But after complaining again, Sun Yi's originally speechless expression relaxed a lot.

……Why!

No wonder Mr. Qian asked me to learn more from Rui Zhao!
Compared to her, I tend to overthink more...

Just as the current chess fairy was feeling a little emotional, Rui Zhao on the other end seemed to have realized something and said quickly:

"...Ah, Senior Brother Sun! Let's not talk about this for now! I have to send a WeChat message to Man Jing to congratulate him!
"I didn't coax Xiao Li-chan well, Man Jing, I can't make the same mistake again!

“Ah, that…

"If you're done, tell me. I'll do some layout research first. I'll be here to practice with you anytime when we're done!"

"……Fine!"

Sun Yi smiled bitterly and said:

"That's right Rui Zhao!
“The Tianyuan Tournament preliminaries will start the day after tomorrow…come on!

"I'll be waiting for you in this tournament!"

"Ok!"

The Queen on the other end of the phone seemed very confident:

“I will definitely try my best this time!

"Senior Brother Ni's celebrity tournament three-game make-up match has also been scheduled in Tongli Town, and will be held at the same time as the Tianyuan tournament preliminaries.

"I don't want to embarrass my teacher and fellow students!"

what……

I also have to find an opportunity to experience Ni Jue's flying knife skills!

Hearing this, Sun Yi thought secretly in his heart.

and……

After the Tianyuan Tournament comes the Spring Orchid Cup! Another chance to challenge for the World Championship!
Now...it's not time to be depressed yet!
After communicating with Rui Zhao, Sun Yi hung up the phone and was just about to check whether Liu Yuhong had any reply.

Unexpectedly, the Yiguo Platform app on his phone suddenly pushed a news flash, which made his eyes widen:
[Breaking news! The Spring Orchid Cup Organizing Committee publicly announced the allocation of places for this year's competition! ]

[One of the original Huaxia team quotas was changed to a wild card, and it seems that they intend to invite Rui Zhao to participate! 】
