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

A few days passed quickly...

At 12 pm on December 11, in the chess room of Kunchi Resort in Kyoto, South Korea.

The last game of the three-game final of this year's LIG Cup just ended not long ago.

The two leading chess players sitting at the chess table - Liu Shixian and Lei Qi - both looked very calm at this moment, as if the extremely fierce confrontation between them just now had never happened.

The two of them carefully discussed every detail of the game, completely ignoring the fact that the reporters who had been allowed to start filming not far away had already started taking pictures of the two of them frantically.

Finally, when all the parts that needed to be discussed had been basically discussed, Lei Qi started talking about things outside the chessboard:

"...Okay, Liu Jiudan, let's stop here for the review."

The Chinese chess master sighed lightly, his tone seemed very calm:
"in addition……

“Congratulations on winning the LIG Cup!
"This is your twelfth championship! What a remarkable achievement!"

Although he still felt somewhat unwilling, Lei Qi had to admit that although the two's levels were very close, if he had to say it, Liu Shixian was indeed a little stronger at the moment.

In the first game of this three-game match, he made a mistake in the middle of the game, and Liu Shixian seized the opportunity to win the first game. In the second game, the two sides were extremely anxious, and they were almost deadlocked from beginning to end. In the end, Lei Qi won by half a point.

The third game of today's final was almost a replica of the second game after the start.

However, in the endgame, Lei Qi was one move behind, allowing Liu Shixian to seize the opportunity to gain the advantage, which he maintained until the end, winning the third game by one and a half points!

As a result, the plan of China's new generation of leaders to announce the change of ownership of the artifact by winning three consecutive World Championships has come to nothing.

The world's number one player successfully defeated his most powerful challenger in the past six months in the LIG final and continued his dominance over the world chess scene!
……really……

The half-point win by white player under Chinese rules in the Spring Orchid Cup cannot be taken as the norm!

Lei Qi couldn't help but say this in his heart.

"……Thanks."

Facing his opponent's extremely graceful congratulations, Young Master Liu, who had been expressionless just now, finally revealed his signature gentle smile, and while he began to collect the chess pieces, he said:
“You played really well too!

"Including your mentality, I feel that you have matured a lot - I thought you would be very depressed."

"You underestimate me, Liu Jiudan."

Lei Qi also began to collect the chess pieces, and calmly counterattacked:
“The future is mine after all… You’ll be twenty-six soon.

"Although, after winning this championship... you can already compete with Choi Sung-seok for the second place in history.

"But if you want to compete for the best in history... I'm afraid you don't have a chance."

Anyone who heard these words would understand that although Xiao Lei Jiudan's tone was calm, it was still sharp, which was a response to what Liu Shixian had just said, "I thought you would be very frustrated."

However, Liu Shixian still said with a smile:

“Hmm… maybe.

"But twenty-six is ​​the best age for a chess player, isn't it?

“For me, there is still the best year left…that’s enough!
“It is a very happy thing to be able to meet the best person in the best situation of life!”

"……Um.

"Every time I fight with you, Liu Jiudan, I benefit a lot."

Although he didn't really like Liu Shixian's playful attitude, Lei Qi still responded to his opponent's words with respect.

But...

At this time, Liu Shixian was a little surprised.

He blinked a few times and said in a slightly surprised tone:
"...Hmm? Um...

"Didn't Sun Jiuduan tell you anything?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Seeing that Lei Qi really seemed to know nothing, Liu Shixian was startled at first, then he couldn't help laughing and muttered softly:
"I was wondering how you matured faster than I expected... Turns out you didn't know anything at all!"

"Um?

“Know what?!”

Lei Qi's expression became more and more confused. "Ah... you don't have to know."

Liu Shixian tried hard to suppress the curve of his lips, then he closed the chess box he had just put away, stood up and said:
"Then I'll excuse myself first! I also want to go and see how your preliminaries for the Yixian Tournament are going!

"She... hasn't played in a while!"

"...TA?"

Hearing these incoherent words, Lei Qi tilted his head:

"Who is this person you are talking about...

"...

“…???!!!”

...

...

Ah...what a pity...

Lei Qi, ninth dan, still lost...

At the same time, in Deming City, Greater Bay Area of ​​China, Deming International Hotel, the venue for the Yixian Tournament.

Rui Zhao, who had just finished the second round of preliminaries for the Yixian Tournament and was watching the game on a tablet in the chess players' rest area, couldn't help but sigh.

——Yes, even though today is the final deciding game of the LIG Cup, the owner of the [Go Xiaozhao] live broadcast room is unable to broadcast and explain this most important game today. He can only watch the tail end of his own game.

Due to the tight schedule at the end of the year, the qualifiers for the Yixian Tournament have already started today.

A top anchor on Bilibili with 7 million fans who has always firmly believed that his main job is a chess player, naturally would not miss the preliminaries of the Yixian Tournament in order to broadcast the LIG Cup final.

Although... now she also began to feel that the first three rounds of qualifying for the title match were a bit too boring and a waste of time - in the first two rounds, she met a first-dan and a third-dan respectively, and she was defeated almost in a whirlwind.

But in order to participate in the main competition, the celebrity Zhaojun, who currently does not have enough rating points, had to start from the preliminaries. At the same time, she secretly sighed that although the rank was useless, the rating points were still very useful...

However, Rui Zhao, who had just finished watching Lei Qi's game, felt a little conflicted for a moment.

Although, these three games were indeed very exciting...

But Lei Qi's ninth stage still doesn't seem to be in the best condition...

Is it possible...

So it was because I beat him with a throwing knife in the Masters Tournament...

Thinking of this, the silly captain of the Pohu team couldn't help but frown again. This time, the mentality that had been adjusted with great difficulty before the game was disturbed again...

However, at this moment, a piercing shout from a young boy came from a distance:

"Rui Zhao! So you are here!"

"Ok?"

Rui Zhao couldn't help but look up when her name was called, only to see a reckless little conspicuous Bao running up to her in a hurry - who else could it be but Xiao Nie Siduan!

"Nie Yunyi?!"

This time Rui Zhao didn't dare fail to recognize him again, and quickly put on a business smile and greeted him:
"Hello!"

"Humph! Stop trying to get close to me!"

Although he was a little out of breath after running wildly, Nie Yunyi still replied in a very arrogant manner:
"I came here just to tell you:
"Sure enough...it was fate that led us to meet - you should have seen the chess game I just played to defeat Xue Zhenju!!
"Now... we should be able to meet in the group finals!
"Just wait! Tomorrow afternoon, I will avenge myself for being teased last time!!!"

"……Eh?!"

After hearing this, Rui Zhao blinked his big eyes for several seconds to understand, then he came to his senses and asked tentatively:

"Um, um... you mean...

"So we are in the same group?"

"……What???!"

The originally complacent little Nie Siduan's eyes suddenly widened:
"Don't you know this?!!!" (End of this chapter)
