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

Chapter 602 Horror

……Why!

My strength shouldn't have decreased significantly...

But why am I so unlucky lately?

March 3, Tongli Town Cultural and Sports Center, Suzhou Province.

Liu Yuhong, who had just been eliminated by He Wei in the final preliminaries of the Tianyuan Tournament, was now feeling depressed in a corner of the chess players' rest area.

In fact, for Empress Liu, not being able to enter the main tournament of the unlimited title tournament was not something particularly worrying.

In her career so far, she has only entered two title tournaments. It is rare to make it, and normal not to make it.

However, her recent defeat to Uesaka Rei in the fan-air battle and her defeat by Yang Manjing in the Mulan battle were not very smooth.

This time he tried his luck in the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers, but his luck still did not prevail. This made Xiao Xioniao a little defensive for a moment, and he felt like God was targeting him.

But just as Liu Yuhong was sighing, a familiar female voice suddenly spoke to him:
“It’s not nice to have your title taken away by a kid from your own team, right?
"It's okay, I know the feeling!"

Upon hearing this, the reigning queen's expression suddenly twisted, and she immediately became angry and said:

"Little sheep! Have I provoked you recently?!
“Why do I feel like you’ve been particularly aggressive since July or August last year!
"Have you turned from a sheep into a goat?!"

However, Zou Yang was not angry at all about his old rival's sudden hysteria. He just smiled and said:

"Oh, I'm just telling the truth!
“Besides, you are much luckier than me!

"Not only do you have a title in hand, but you will also be exempt from the Lakeside Cup qualifiers at the beginning of next month.

"Even if it's the Women's World Championships, your two consecutive semifinals are better than my two consecutive quarterfinals!

"Does it make you feel better if you think about it this way?"

"Well……"

After hearing this, Liu Yuhong calmed down immediately - because Zou Yang was absolutely right.

Liu Yuhong still has the [Queen] in his hands, but Zou Yang is now empty-handed.

For the Lakeside Cup, which will begin in May, China will also hold a team selection competition in early April. However, like the Nongshim Cup, the women's competition will also be free of selection, and the rules will also refer directly to the Nongshim Cup.

——Those who played as the main players in the previous tournament and ended the tournament, those who won five consecutive games (including five consecutive wins) in the previous tournament, and those who won the women's world championship after the start of the previous tournament qualifiers, can be exempted from selection and included in the list of this year's women's tournament.

According to this rule, Rui Zhao, who won seven consecutive games in the last Lakeside Cup, and Liu Yuhong, who appeared as the main player to end the competition, can go directly to the Lakeside Cup without selection, while the little sheep will have to go through the preliminaries with the little witch.

Even in the recent Women's World Championships where neither of them made it to the finals, Liu Yuhong's results were better than Zou Yang's.

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, Xiao Xiaoniao is in much better shape than his old rival. This comforted Liu Yuhong.

However, as an old rival, Liu Yuhong was naturally unwilling to follow Zou Yang's wishes, and still complained:

"I can't compete with a slacker like you! You won the league, lost the title, and then started letting yourself go!
"You didn't sign up for the preliminaries for the Masters Tournament and the Chess Immortal Tournament last year, so it's only natural that I'm better than you...

"...

"Oh, that's not right!

"Why are you here again for the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers?!"

Facing Empress Liu's sudden surprise, Zou Yang smiled and said:

"Oh, I was thinking of putting it up! But when I saw that there will be an Asian Games next year, I suddenly became excited!

"Although it's a bit of a pipe dream to compete for the women's world championship now, I think it's still possible to make some contributions in the women's team competition at the Asian Games, so I want to work hard to maintain my good form."

"...Is that so?"

The little bird frowned:

"But didn't you already win a gold medal in the Asian Games? Logically... you shouldn't have any regrets!"

What Liu Yuhong said is true: both she and Zou Yang have won Asian Games gold medals.

At the 2022 Qiantang Asian Games, the gold medals for the three Go events were divided among three different teams.

The men's team gold medal went to the South Korean men's team, while the men's individual gold medal was unexpectedly won by Xu Lifan of the Chinese Taihai team.

The final women's team gold medal was won by the Chinese women's team consisting of Wang Haocheng, Wen Xuefei, Zou Yang and Liu Yuhong. The Little Lamb's honor roll is indeed not lacking in this Asian Games gold medal.

Because of this, Zou Yang’s insistence at this time made Liu Yuhong a little surprised.

But Zou Yang did not answer this question directly, but asked in return:
"Let me ask you one question - are you happy for Kim Woo-eun to get this gold medal?"

“…Okay, I understand!
"No matter what, there is really no way that little Bingbing can get what she wants!"

Empress Liu thought for less than half a second before she fully understood the feelings of her old rival and immediately expressed her firm support.

It is not difficult to understand why Shuangbi would react this way:

They and Kim Woo-eun are basically of the same generation, and as the leaders of women of both countries, they have naturally been compared with each other for a long time.

But as Kim Woo-eun's strength became more and more outstanding, his achievements and honors soon surpassed the two leaders. Naturally, such comparisons turned into more criticisms of the two leaders, which made them both somewhat unhappy.

Therefore, although the two of them do not get along with each other in China, once they have the opportunity to make South Korea and Kim Woo-eun lose face, they still cooperate sincerely and work together to face the outside world. The most commendable one is the 2022 Qiantang Asian Games.

At that time, the South Korean women's team had the number one female player, and the other two main players, Park Moon-mi and Zheng Caixi, were also very strong, so they were full of confidence and vowed to win the gold medal.

But in the final women's team final, the Chinese team made careful preparations and finally won the race. Although Wen Xuefei was completely defeated by the number one female player, with the victory of the double-bright pair against Park Wenmei and Zheng Caixi, the Chinese women's team still defeated their opponents with a total score of 2 to 1 and won the first Asian Games Go gold medal in Chinese history!
The South Korean ice queen, who won all the games but lost in the final, lost control of her emotions and burst into tears after the game, which shows how much she longed for the Asian Games championship.

Therefore, whether or not they win a second Asian Games gold medal may not be that important to the two teams.

But it is very important for them to prevent Kim Woo-eun from winning the Asian Games gold medal!

Otherwise, they would have been suppressed to the point of losing their temper! When future generations look back on the history of women's Go during this period, they will have to serve as background figures for the rest of their lives!
"That's right!"

Seeing that the little bird understood what he meant, the little sheep patted the bird on the shoulder in a friendly manner:
"And, unlike last time when we were walking on thin ice, this time we have a high chance of success...

"After all, we have the Queen Zhaotian!"

Liu Yuhong nodded, but still a little worriedly said:

"But... that being said.

"But she hasn't beaten Kim Woo-eun after all, so we can't be too optimistic..."

Zou Yang blinked and couldn't help but smile:
"I can tell from the looks of it that you're just too depressed after losing the game! Didn't you even watch Rui Zhao's game?
"I might be more lenient with the enemy in other matters, but in this matter...

“I’m very confident.”

"……Eh?"

Liu Yuhong couldn't help but be stunned, then quickly opened the Yiguo APP and began to look for the chess record of the last qualifying match of the current Zhaojun.

Although in most cases no one would record the chess games in the preliminaries, the popular Queen Zhaotian was an exception.

Soon, Liu Yuhong found the chess game that had ended not long ago, but when she clicked it, her eyes widened:

"Oh My God--

"How did she kill Tao Chen!!!"

...

...

she……

Killed Tao Chen?!
At 6:30 pm on the same day, Tongli Town, Suzhou Province.

Even though Ni Jue had always been full of confidence in his junior sister, when the exhausted Chinese flying knife expert walked out of Tianyi Pavilion, he was still shocked by the chess record on his mobile phone.

In the final round of the Tianyuan tournament qualifiers this afternoon, Rui Zhao's opponent is Tao Chen, a Chinese 9th-dan chess player from the Tiangang team.

Tao Chen is an old chess player. Objectively speaking, he has not achieved any outstanding results in major competitions. He reached the 9th dan entirely by relying on promotion points and a long enough career. Among the 9th dan chess players, he is undoubtedly the weakest.

Before the game, Ni Jue felt that Rui Zhao should have a good chance of winning in the title tournament qualifiers of the rapid chess competition system.

but……

Although Ni Jue guessed that Rui Zhao would most likely win, he never expected...

Rui Zhao actually won so horribly!
Throughout the entire game, almost from the beginning, the situation was dominated by Rui Zhao, who played with black.

When both sides were in the lower left position, Tao Chen seemed to be prepared and wanted to test Rui Zhao by choosing to give up the first move. However, Zhao Tian, ​​who had studied the layout more and more deeply, made a series of strong moves, which forced Tao Chen into an unfamiliar situation and caused the black pieces to take advantage in some areas. In less than 70 moves, the dragon was connected!

In order to save the situation, Tao Chen tried to fish in troubled waters by robbing and fighting.

But after several consecutive fights, although Tao Chen won all of them, connecting the entire white pieces at the bottom and capturing the black pieces in the lower right corner, he paid a heavy price at the top, and the game basically entered garbage time from then on.

Afterwards, Tao Chen kept trying to disrupt the situation, but Rui Zhao played very steadily and did not give his opponent any chance.

Seeing that the game was almost certain to be lost, Tao Chen made a last-ditch effort, trying to hold on to the points regardless of the life or death of the big dragon. As a result, Rui Zhao slaughtered the white dragon without any mercy and in an orderly manner.

The upper half of the chessboard is filled with White's dead pieces, and Black's expected lead is already over fifty points!
By the 259th move, seeing that Dalong had died of anger, Tao Chen, who had suffered a miserable defeat, had no choice but to admit defeat, and a new person was added to the Queen's Fermented Bean Curd Book!
This……

Although Rui Zhao's fast chess is obviously better than her slow chess, and Tao Chen is indeed weak in nine...

But a weak nine is still a nine!!!
As a result, he was beaten like this in a fast chess match with Rui Zhao? !

He was almost pinned to death without even having the slightest chance to fight back?!
Seeing this, Ni Jue couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

hiss--

My little sister...

Isn't this too scary?!

Just when Ni Jue was secretly frightened, suddenly, someone patted him on the back...

"Brother Ni!"

"what!!!"

Ni Jue, who was feeling a little shaken, was frightened by the shout and jumped back a step!

But his overreaction confused a certain cute person who suddenly appeared:

"...Ni, Senior Brother Ni?
"What's wrong with you? Am I...am I terrible?"

The most beautiful lady in China, nicknamed Zhaojun, bit her lips pitifully, looking quite aggrieved, and not looking scary at all.
