It should be fine...right...

Two days passed quickly.

On January 1, the day of the Mengli Lily Cup round of 8, at : am.

Park Min-yeol, who had made all the preparations, took a deep breath and walked out of the room with a serious expression.

Although many people on Rui Zhao's side warned Rui Zhao that "Da Pu is in good shape" and "this round of 16 match should be treated with caution", etc. But in fact...

Park Min-yeol didn't feel relieved at all.

The reason is simple - although Da Pu has recently entered the legendary finale state, Rui Zhao's recent performance has also been extremely strong!
Crush Takuya Ichijo, Torachichiro Ueno and Orokiho in three consecutive games without any mistakes. This is really not something that can be easily understood by common sense!

The contemporary Zhaojun not only has excellent planning skills, but her suppressive power after gaining the advantage is also terrifying!

Simply put, it cannot give her enough advantages!
Otherwise, unless he can perform in the mid-game like Lei Qi did in the Challenger Final of the China Masters Tournament, he will most likely be defeated!

Under such circumstances, Da Pu, who is always a little arrogant, felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He started to study some of Rui Zhao's recent matches and live broadcasts the night before yesterday, and went to bed after 1 a.m. for two consecutive days. It can be seen how much he takes it seriously!
Hmm... I didn't expect that...

One day I would prepare to this extent for a female chess player...

On the way to the game room, Park Min-yeol couldn't help but mutter another sentence.

Although Dae Park's performance fluctuated greatly throughout his career, and he had even been defeated by female chess players other than Kim Woo-eun in South Korea, in his eyes female chess players were ultimately the product of political correctness and project promotion.

In terms of competitive attributes, even Kim You-eun and Wu Yueyun still have a clear gap with the real top ten male chess players in the world, and it is not worth it for the top male masters to prepare specifically for their occasional outbursts that may happen at any time.

But now, facing Rui Zhao who continues to perform at the top level, Da Pu, who is already "0-2 against Rui Zhao", is really at his best in all aspects, and his preparation for this grudge game is no worse than when he was fighting against Liu Shao in China.

As expected...gender is not an issue that causes contempt...

It's the strength that matters!

Soon, Da Pu walked into the chess room. Rui Zhao had already sat down at the chess table, just like usual. However, his strong desire to win and fierce murderous aura were even stronger than the day before!
Park Min-yeol took a deep breath and sat down.

The two sides exchanged unfriendly glances and did not say anything further, waiting quietly for the game to begin.

Rui Zhao was not a talkative person, and although Da Pu liked to use some tricks on male chess players from other countries, Rui Zhao's fierce yet extremely accurate straight line dragon-slaying move the day before yesterday really made Da Pu gasp.

Feeling that the other party was somewhat buffed, he really didn't have the courage to add fuel to the fire.

The goal of a chess player is to win after all. If being timid can guarantee victory, then you have to be timid!

Soon, the time came for the game to begin.

Following the chief referee's order, both sides began to guess who would go first.

Finally, Da Pu, who had been looking extremely serious ever since he left the room, finally curled up the corners of his mouth slightly: he got the white chess pieces under the Chinese rules and had a small advantage.

However, Rui Zhao did not seem to care about the result of the guessing. He took the black chess box back to his side very elegantly and neatly.

Her eyes were focused, and the aura of murderous intent hidden in her beauty was hidden, as if she was a queen who was personally leading the army to the front of the enemy. As soon as the drums of war sounded, she would devote herself to the decisive battle in front of her! For a moment, Da Pu felt his breathing stagnate.

A moment later, as the chief referee announced the official start of the game, the famous Chinese player Zhaojun, who was playing with black pieces, saluted his opponent in a very upright and dignified manner. Then, like a gust of wind and flowing clouds, she took the pieces from the box and played the first move of the game at the upper right star position on the board!
...

...

"Hello, dear audience friends!

"I'm your old friend An An! Welcome everyone to our show today."

At the same time, outside the chess game room, in the temporary live broadcast room of [Go Xiaozhao].

After the broadcast started, Ai Jianan naturally put on a business smile and greeted the audience friends who were watching the live broadcast today.

Regarding this "grudge game" that has attracted much attention recently, the boss Ai Jianan came all the way from Dongjiang today to participate in the live broadcast.

But...Miss Ai has no choice.

After the live broadcast ended the day before yesterday, Hua Ran hurried to Wuxing County, Jinfen Province, to participate in the Queen's Tournament. For Hua Ran, although live broadcast hosting is also a very important job, she, like Rui Zhao, thinks that she is first and foremost a chess player, so she naturally cannot miss any competition she can participate in.

By the way, in the past, when Rui Zhao and Hua Ran had conflicts in many competitions, [Go Xiao Zhao] simply did not broadcast them, after all, there was no one on the screen to host and explain.

However, as the number of fans increases and Miss Ai's future plans for the [Go Xiaozhao] live broadcast room become more and more ambitious, this kind of "blank space" has become unacceptable to Ai Jianan, so she has been working hard to recruit people recently to replace Hua Ran.

But before that, if necessary, she, the boss, would have to take charge personally - especially in a crucial match like the one against Da Park that everyone was looking forward to.

"Our guest speaker today is also an old friend of yours, Zeng Guangwen, 9th Dan! Welcome everyone!"

"Ah, hello to all the die-hard fans of the queen!" Zeng Guangwen, who was eliminated the day before yesterday, finally sat in the commentary seat this time, wearing a suit and tie, looking quite handsome.

The reason why I said "finally" is because Zeng Xigou has frequently disrupted the live broadcast plan recently, and it is not easy to invite him to the camera to comment.

He reached the semi-finals in the Celebrity Tournament and the quarter-finals in the Chess Immortal Tournament... and even rose to nine places in the Chess Immortal Tournament!

The length of time he retained the title in two consecutive competitions was beyond Ai Jianan's expectations, and she had to hurriedly ask someone to find a guest commentator.

This time in Mengli Lily Cup, I originally thought that since Zeng Shabao had simply skipped the preliminaries in order to serve and protect his master in Japan, he could finally have a good live broadcast.

But who would have thought that because of his recent good results and the fact that he was also the third most watched chess anchor in the chess circle, the organizer directly sent the wild card reserved for domestic chess players to Roaring Sky Dog under the Queen's seat, so Ai Jianan had to urgently call for players in the first two rounds, which was very frustrating.

But... Ai Jianan couldn't say anything!
Rui Zhao has always praised and encouraged his dog for becoming stronger and stronger - even though the dog itself doesn't actually want to be that competitive.

But... objectively speaking, Zeng Xigou can often keep up with Rui Zhao, which does have an advantage.

In many cases, as a participant, he can bring the latest news of the competition to the audience - the freshness is even better than the official live broadcast! This is also a major selling point.

At the moment, Comrade Xiaotian Dog had just fought against Da Pu in the last round and was defeated, so Ai Jianan naturally would not let go of this topic.

"Today we are going to broadcast the match between Xiao Zhao and South Korean master Park Min-yeol 9th ​​dan. This game can be said to be the most watched focus in the circle recently.

"And you, Zeng Jiudan, just played against Da Park in the last round, but unfortunately you lost after 234 moves, which is a pity.

"May I ask what you think of today's game?"

"Ah... First of all, I have to be objective!

"Da Pu's recent condition is indeed very, very good, I'm not kidding!"

Zeng Guangwen said in a rather pretentious but truthful manner:

"You know, Sun Yi, who was eliminated by him in the first round, is a famous 'strength and weakness identifier' in our country!

"Although I didn't win the championship last year, my actual results were very, very good! I only lost to Xiao Lei and Master Liu! In the end, I was eliminated by Da Pu's god-level performance.

"As for me... although I can't say I'm that great, I've at least received special training from the Queen, and I've performed well in the two domestic title tournaments and the Weiqi League recently! But in the last round, I was almost beaten to the ground! It was because I was able to stir up trouble that I was able to lose with some dignity...

"But... please rest assured!
"I also reported all these situations to the Queen after the game! And the Queen has also been very strong recently!
“Based on my sparring and analysis with the Queen over the past two days, even if he maintains the form of the first two rounds, it should still be a good outcome!”

"Ah... We feel relieved to hear Zeng Jiudan say that!"

Ai Jianan took over the conversation with a smile, and then turned the topic to the game itself:

"The game has already started, let's get into the game!

"In this game, Xiao Zhao played black and Da Pu played white. Both players started with staggered star eyes.

"After that, both sides seized the main field and carried out common routine moves in the four corners in turn. The situation was relatively stable.

"In move 38, after the upper right piece was formed, the white piece jumped to the lower left.

"This move aims to attack the black chess piece in the lower left while at the same time serving as a guide for moving the piece in the upper right, thus achieving two purposes with one piece.

"Here, Xiao Zhao thought for a moment and chose the basic move, but the chess AI thought that the chess should not pay much attention to the solid areas on the edge and expand the middle part instead - but this move is obviously too difficult for humans.

"Hmm... From the beginning till now, Black's winning rate has been slowly decreasing, down ten points from the initial level! Right now it's only about 30%!
"Da Pu is in really good shape! He seems to be well prepared!"

Ai Jianan sighed with a bit of worry, but Rui Zhao responded immediately as if he had heard what she said!

Facing the opponent's continuous tactics of first pulling, then leaning, and then sticking, threatening to attack the black chess shape, Rui Zhao keenly realized that it was more important to push the head in the middle than to prevent the white chess from making patterns on the edge. In the 45th move, he took the lead in pushing the head! He did not follow the pace of the white chess.

This choice also received praise from AI!
By move 54, although White gained a lot by taking the entire corner, Black also made a thick play and took the initiative!
The winning rate...has returned to the initial 40%!

"Ms. An An, I said there is absolutely no problem with the Queen's current state!"

At this time, Zeng Guangwen said in a tone of "Just wait and see":

"In the past two days, the Queen has been practicing with me and Sun Yi to prepare for the battle! It's not that easy for her to be taken advantage of!

"Next, after getting the upper hand, it's time for the Queen to make trouble!"

Sure enough, less than five seconds passed after White made the last move in the lower left corner.

In move 55, the black pieces, Double Flying Swallows, begin to attack the upper left corner! (End of this chapter)
