[Flying knives, amazing moves, floor and ceiling, flip-flop, half-point victory or defeat...]

【Perhaps this is why we still love Go so much in this era. 】

----

[Hello, chess fans. It’s been a while since I shared my thoughts and updates on social media! ]

[Just in time, after commentating yesterday's game, I couldn't help myself, so I sorted out my thoughts overnight and wrote a short article. ]

[Seeing this title, I believe that the audience who are watching chess should know which game I am talking about - yes, it is the Masters Challenger Finals between Lei Qi and Rui Zhao that just ended yesterday.]

[This game was full of ups and downs! It was obvious that both of them were very well prepared, and they were fighting wits and courage from the beginning! ]

[In the upper left corner, Lei Qi faced the junior sister of the flying knife expert Ni Jue and took the initiative to join in the changes of Ni Jue's knife. It was obvious that he was up to no good! He also admitted in the post-match interview that he was prepared.]

【But Rui Zhao was also very alert. After noticing something unusual, he decisively stopped the loss and looked for another opportunity. He also successfully tricked Lei Qi into falling into a trap by changing his tactics in the lower left corner, establishing an advantage in one fell swoop, and once beat Lei Qi to the point of a dragon! 】

[Although Lei Qi is now recognized as the leader of China and the best player in China. But you have to know that in the quarterfinals and semifinals of the Masters Tournament, facing Sun Yi and Ji Qiujuan, who are also top players in China, Rui Zhao directly controlled the game to the end after gaining the advantage and did not give any chance to win. He should not be underestimated! ]

[But then, our reigning chess master presented us with the most exciting mid-game performance in this year's domestic competition! ]

[From move 75 to move 95, Lei Qi, who was at an absolute disadvantage, made eleven consecutive moves! Among them, the squeeze out of thin air in move 83 was even more dazzling and shocking! ]

[The wonderfulness of this move is even better than the "God's Squeeze" that Rui Zhao played against Fu Yu in the first match of the Weiqi League relegation battle! The situation on the verge of collapse was reversed by two levels! One cannot help but sigh at the infinite possibilities of our young chess players! ]

[However, although the overall quality of Rui Zhao's moves in the middle game may not be as high as this, he also showed amazing resilience under adversity! ]

[Chess fans who are familiar with Rui Zhao may know that at this time last year, Rui Zhao's endgame was still a major weakness of hers! ]

[The top 9th-dan masters in China were almost always successful in handling her official moves, which made her suffer a lot.]

[But... after three days of absence, one should look at others with new eyes! ]

[Facing the best player in China, Lei Qi, whom he had never defeated before, our contemporary Zhaojun played an equally brilliant game! He played an almost flawless game, forcing Lei Qi to make two mistakes in the second half of the game, and finally won by half a point with white! ]

[In just one year, he was able to reach the top and his progress was jaw-dropping! The effort behind it is evident! ]

[In this match, both sides played extremely well! ]

[Lei Qi's AI matching rate is 81%, and Rui Zhao's is as high as 85%! ]

[In terms of excitement, among all the games this year, only the final game of the last Nongshim Cup can be compared with it! ]

[What is even more valuable is that both players in this game were born after 05, and Rui Zhao is even a female chess player! ]

【Lei Qi's "squeeze out of thin air" broke the absurd view of some people since the AI ​​era that "human beings will never have a brilliant move again"; and Rui Zhao's extremely precise endgame also embodies the ancient chess spirit of "God rewards hard work, and gradual perfection will come". 】

【In these two young supernovas, I see the inheritance and rebirth of Go skills and soul in the new era! 】

[Besides the wonderful game, this is something that is even more touching and comforting! ]

[Finally, thanks again to Lei Qi and Rui Zhao! They brought us a very exciting game! ]

[At the same time, I look forward to you two contributing more exquisite games in the future! ]

……

Hmm... the reflections written by Tian Jie the other day were quite good...

At 11 pm on November 22, in the VIP viewing room of the Grand Blue Sky Hotel.

Seeing the end of the game, Shang Chaotian, chairman of the Chinese Chess Association, couldn't help but read again the dynamic article that his deputy posted on social media the day before yesterday morning.

Before publishing this short article, Lu Wenjie also showed it to his boss at work and his long-time elder brother. Shang Chaotian also praised it highly after reading it, thinking that it would definitely help to build consensus in the domestic chess circle to a great extent, and also draw a perfect footnote for this famous game between the two new generation supernovas born after 05.

But, unfortunately...

But some people who follow Go don’t even watch the games!
Thinking of this, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but glance at the comment with the highest number of likes under this post, and then he sighed:

[Rui Zhao is just a liar who cheated by using her senior brother's flying knife to get good grades! Your chess association is still promoting her?! I give up! ]

--Yes.

Since the game was decided, many people in the chess circle and co-sponsors have sent text messages and WeChat to Shang Chaotian, warmly congratulating him on the birth of the first female national champion of the unlimited tournament in the Chinese chess world! Even the leader of the General Administration of Sports came to ask if there were any arrangements for Rui Zhao to appear on CCTV's talk show!
But in contrast...on the Internet, the debate about Rui Zhao is becoming more and more intense!
As for the reason, it is very simple:
In the first round of the three-match match the day before yesterday, the current celebrity who was famous for his flying knife skills...ah, now I should say the previous celebrity Ni Jue, did not use any flying knives! There was not even a trace of trying!
Originally, Ni Jue's overall competitive level had declined severely since the operation. If he didn't go into surgery now, he would be more like an old lion without teeth, and it would be difficult for him to suppress the young Rui Zhao. Therefore, Rui Zhao won these two games without any bloodshed.

In stark contrast, Zhaojun used flying knives in every round of the celebrity tournament against three powerful opponents: Sun Yi, Ji Qiujuan, and Lei Qi! The frequency was frightening!
The huge contrast between the two, combined with the earlier news that "Rui Zhaochun relied on his own brother's flying knife to win the competition", immediately aroused a huge response in the online public opinion!
Under the influence and propaganda of a large number of Soh haters, a large number of onlookers who did not know the truth were misled and thought that the Go community had come up with some "main=6" "positive energy propaganda model", which suddenly led to a fierce conflict with the Soh fans who were in full swing recently! Almost everywhere there was a quarrel!
And right now, the second round of the celebrity match that just ended was almost identical to the first round!
Zhaojun of the time obtained the title of "Celebrity" in this way. Although the mainstream official voice was full of praise for the performance of female chess players that could match that of men, Shang Chaotian knew that there would probably be another bloody storm on the Internet - the most highly praised comment under Lu Wenjie's social media was the most true reflection of this matter.

This Ni Jue is really...

I wanted my junior sister to get the title of "Celebrity" without saying anything, which made me so passive in public opinion...

Shang Chaotian couldn't help but complain a little to the original name Tianyuan in his heart, but he found it hard to be really angry.

Anyone who knows how to play chess knows that Rui Zhao, who has overcome the disadvantage of playing too much chess in the past six months, is undoubtedly one of the top chess players in China in this celebrity tournament, even without considering the flying knife! It is not too much to get an unlimited title.

If we take into account her age of only 20 and her demonstration effect as a female chess player, although Ni Jue's act of leaving the [Celebrity] title to Rui Zhao was somewhat deliberate, it was indeed a well-intentioned move for the promotion and development of Chinese Go, and she even sacrificed her own [Celebrity] title which she had a certain chance of keeping.

However, Ni Jue herself was probably caught off guard by the fact that a great feat like "a female player winning the championship of an unlimited national tournament", which has only happened once in the history of Go, would be discredited to such an extent by some people with ulterior motives.

……Um.

Especially at this time, as the chairman of the chess association, I must stand firmly with them!
Shang Chaotian narrowed his eyes, made up his mind, then stood up suddenly, ready to go and say a few words of encouragement to the two players who had just finished the game.

But at this moment, the secretary Xiao Wei beside him saw this and hurriedly reminded:
"Hey, Chairman Shang, where are you going?

"The award ceremony will begin soon!"

"Ah! I just wanted to encourage Ni Jue and Rui Zhao first so as not to affect the award ceremony!"

"……what?"

Xiao Wei was a little surprised by this answer, and then he shouted:
"In that case, you might have to wait!"

"Hmm? Won't it affect the award ceremony?"

"Well...theoretically it has no impact, but the problem is...

"Just now Rui Zhao suddenly dragged Ni Jue out! She is not in the game room for the time being!"

"...

"...What?!" (End of this chapter)
