“I promise you, Queen!
"This time I will go all out and find ways to kill Lei Qi!
"I will do my best to help you, the Queen, ascend to the throne of Celebrity!"

The next day, November 11th, was the day for the Masters Challenger semi-finals.

After the previous four rounds of competition, there are only two tables of four people left in today's semi-finals, so the competition venue has been moved to a smaller but more elegant hall.

But no one expected it.

Zeng Guangwen, who had been acting like a nobody in the arena a few days ago, was now like a chicken with its blood pumped up. He expressed his attitude to his master in a very active and flattering manner, which made Rui Zhao, who was already seated there, quite embarrassed for a moment.

"……Well……

"But, but my goal this time is not to take down a [Celebrity]... No! That means it's okay if I can't take him down...

"Just, just do it well..."

"Well, I understand your modesty, Queen!"

Zeng Guangwen answered with a tone that seemed to understand a lot, but in fact he understood nothing. Then he spoke to the camera of his phone in a whistling voice:

“Dear fans of the Queen, Guangwen is leaving!
“I hope everyone can give me more encouragement and support in the end!”

After saying this, Zeng Guangwen turned off his phone and hurriedly ran to the storage area at the door to put his phone away, leaving only a detached back view of Lei Qi, who had also taken a seat and had an equally complicated expression.

However, just as Zeng Guangwen put down his phone, the last player of this Challenger semi-final had entered the arena. He came to Rui Zhao with a little restraint and sat down. He said:
"Hi Rui Zhao!

"meet again!"

"Hello Ji Jiudan!"

Although he had no friendship with Ji Qiujuan, Rui Zhao had a good impression of this older brother with a soft voice who was in the same Yuzhou team as Dai Ran.

Ji Qiujuan nodded and continued to speak casually:
"In yesterday's game of chess, the flying knife you used against Sun Yi was very beautiful!"

"what……"

Hearing the other party suddenly mention the flying knife, Rui Zhao, who was responsible for the important task of "substitute knife man", didn't know how to answer for a moment, and finally could only simply respond:
"Thank you, thank you."

"Ah."

Ji Qiujuan nodded and continued to ask:

"Then this chess game...

"You should be able to use a knife, too!"

"……Eh?"

Now Hanhan really didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Ji Qiujuan did not make things difficult for her and immediately smiled and said:
“…In fact, it is a great regret of mine that I have never been able to learn flying knife from Master Ni Jue.

"My grades were a little off at first, and when they finally had a chance to threaten the [Tianyuan] and [Famous] players, Ni Jiudan had surgery again...

"So... I am quite grateful to you this time, Rui Zhao.

"Today, let me learn from you!"

...

...

"Monkey...are you okay?"

At the same time, the official live studio of the Masters Tournament.

Before the official broadcast, Liu Yuhong looked at her boyfriend who was wearing a well-tailored suit and couldn't help asking another question. Yes, the one who will be partnering with the reigning queen to commentate today is the chess master who was eliminated yesterday - Sun Yi took the initiative to apply to the association.

Xiao Xioniao asked this because she saw Sun Yi looked very disappointed after losing the game yesterday, so she couldn't help but worry about him.

"It's okay."

Sun Yi didn't seem to be unusual at this time, he pursed his lips and replied:
"Ni Jue came to talk to me after the game yesterday, and I can understand some of the things he said.

“Even I have a little expectation…

"I still have the second stage of the Nongshim Cup, the LIG Cup, and the [Yixian] title to defend. I will also compete for the Yumengli Lily Cup next January! I don't have time to dwell on a loss!"

"Uh……"

After hearing her boyfriend's somewhat incoherent words, Xiao Xiaoniao seemed a little confused.

But seeing that Sun Yi was in good spirits, she felt relieved:
"Right! It's okay, reaching the quarterfinals is already a very good result!
"Just try harder next time!"

After saying this, seeing that the broadcast time was approaching, today's couple commentary file made final preparations and then started today's live broadcast:
"Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome to watch our live broadcast of the Masters Challenger Semi-Finals today! I am Liu Yuhong, 8th Dan!
"Today we are mainly broadcasting the match between Rui Zhao, the top female player in China and the holder of the title of Zhaojun, and Ji Qiujuan, the ninth dan. The guest we invited is Rui Zhao's senior brother, Sun Yi, the ninth dan."

"Good afternoon, everyone!"

……

Under Liu Yuhong's guidance, the two of them did a simple warm-up.

In the past year or so, Sun Wukong's lively personality has become much calmer, and there have been no problems in any aspect. After the preparation, the two of them quickly entered the chess game:

"In this game, Rui Zhao plays black and Ji Qiujuan plays white.

"Both sides chose to start with the star small eye and the wrong small eye, and then both sides played against each other in the lower left and upper right corners.

"After the black chess piece flies down to the lower left and forms a pressure pattern, it returns to the upper right and makes a low pass.

"But here White changed his tactics first, not using the usual flying pressure response, but instead making a big flying move to the upper left to defend the corner.

"The black piece decisively controlled the white piece with a small tip on the upper right, while the white piece started to stick to the left.

"Black also escapes first, and flies down to the right to defend the corner. White then jumps up, which is the key point for both sides to gain and lose, and Black follows suit with a big jump."

"It seems that both sides are going their own way, but in fact the competition is very fierce."

At this time, Sun Yi commented:
"Little... uh, Ji Qiujuan has always been famous for his unique layout ideas. He is recognized as the top three in chess layout today, along with Young Master Liu and Ni Jue.

“And Rui Zhao, she happens to be the junior sister of the famous Ni Jue, so she has naturally learned some of the unique insights of today’s famous people about layout!
"So in this game, in many cases when the game is in a stable layout stage, both sides are already competing with each other in judgment!"

"Judging from Ji Qiujuan's chess style, he must gain a certain advantage or get into a comfortable situation during the layout phase!"

The little bird then replied:

"Ji Qiujuan's mid-game strength has always been criticized by the outside world, and he has even been nicknamed 'fruit knife' and 'male version of lamb'.

"Rui Zhao has always been known for his great strength. If we don't have a certain advantage in the layout stage, it may be difficult to deal with Rui Zhao's pressure in the middle game."

"..."

After hearing what his girlfriend said casually, Monkey King was speechless.

He had always been puzzled. Although Zou Yang was in direct competition with Liu Yuhong in domestic competitions, his senior sister was a homely and gentle person. Logically, there shouldn't be so many grudges between the two.

Now, the blame is probably on my girlfriend...

However, just as Sun Yi was trying hard to think about how to smooth things over, Ji Qiujuan suddenly took the initiative to attack!
After the lower left position is set, the white piece is supported and then pulled. What should the black piece do? (End of this chapter)
