"Rui Zhao is lost in deep thought here!

"It seems that they didn't consider that White can use a ko to hold the situation!"

Three minutes later, in the official live broadcast room.

Liu Yuhong looked at Rui Zhao on the screen who was obviously lost in thought, and couldn't help but said anxiously:

“She’s probably a little anxious—the local fight here is too complicated, and I don’t think either side has figured it out completely!
"I don't know whether Rui Zhao didn't see the AI's first choice change, or he was not satisfied with the change in the situation given by the AI's first choice change, so he tried to kill all the white pieces... But unfortunately, it was Rui Zhao who made the first mistake!

"I have to say, Da Pu is in really good form recently! White, there is a strong player here who can forcefully hold the piece and make a ko!
"Normally, when the black piece is pulling, if the white piece forces it down, it would be an unreasonable move, because as long as the black piece flips from above, the white piece will lose its response.

"In this case, the white chess piece has no choice but to retreat. At this time, the black chess piece can retreat and insert a piece, and the white chess piece can be killed quickly in one go.

"But the problem is that Rui Zhao overlooked the problem of the black chess piece itself being in a tight spot! When the white chess piece is forcibly pulled down, the black chess piece's flip attack will not work, and the black chess piece will be eaten instead!

"In this case, Black basically only has one way left, which is to start a capture. However, White has its own material for a capture! This capture is extremely difficult for Black to win!
"Now... the test for Rui Zhao has arrived!"

"Yes, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable...Ah, she finally chose to rob!"

Sun Yi, who was watching Rui Zhao's 103rd move, narrowed his eyes and then took over the conversation:
“But this robbery is indeed difficult to fight!
"We can see that White found the material for capture very quickly and cleanly, while Black had no more material for capture after using up the material for capture in the lower left corner!
"Ah... Rui Zhao finally found a way to seal off the white pieces in the lower left corner, so Da Pu naturally eliminated the threat, and all the black pieces in the upper left corner were killed!

"Black uses another move to fill the gap, while White grabs the key point in the lower right corner..."

"this……

"We can see that the black chess's winning rate is now only 1.6%! Almost a dragon among dragons!
"Monkey... uh, no, that is, Sun Yi, ninth dan...

"What can I do?"

Liu Yuhong, who seemed a little anxious at the moment, couldn't help but ask:
“Those who often follow the Go circle should know that once Rui Zhao gains a clear advantage, he will perform extremely steadily!
"Among all the recent matches, only in the Masters Challenger Final did Lei Qi Jiudan show an extremely brilliant mid-game performance to force a reversal against her! In the rest of the matches, he would just push forward once he got a clear advantage!
"But in a disadvantageous situation, it is hard to say that Rui Zhao's comeback performance is better than other chess players of the same level...

"The first round of the Yixian Tournament against Ji Qiujuan was a typical example..."

"Don't be impatient, Empress Liu! Let's continue watching."

Sun Yi took a deep breath, and then continued to explain as if nothing had happened:
"The chessboard... is quite large! It's hard to say who will win or lose!
“It’s true that Rui Zhao is more stable in advantageous situations, but she is also remarkable in disadvantageous situations.

"Let's not talk about the last round of the preliminaries of the Chess Immortal Tournament where I played against Xiao Nie, who bullied a kid. Didn't Rui Zhao come back in the final of the Masters Tournament Challenger?"

"But... I won the game against Xiao Lei because of his mistake in the final move!"

"That Da Pu is also famous for making mistakes!"

"Uh……

“That’s right.”

After hearing this, Little Bird finally stopped talking and seemed to feel a little relieved - because what Sun Yi said was indeed the truth.

Da Pu, the "legendary end" is in such a nervous state that not only his state varies greatly between each game, but he can even be like two different people within a single game!

He had played chess like this before: he played the first half of the game almost perfectly, but suddenly made a mistake at the last crucial moment and gave away the good chess piece.

At this time, Sun Yi continued to speak:
“I think even though we are obviously at a disadvantage in this game, we still have a chance!
“Da Pu is only one year older than me, so we are from the same generation of chess players, and we have played against each other many times before.

"As for how to deal with Da Pu, I also gave her some suggestions during the sparring with her these past two days. Judging from the current situation, Rui Zhao must know that she is at a clear disadvantage, but she hasn't given up yet!

"Look, not long after that, she made three moves in quick succession! She broke the white piece in the middle of the board. She played very hard!"

"Hmm... I can see that this girl has started to fight her opponent to death..."

Liu Yuhong looked at the three moves on the board that were highly rated by the AI ​​and nodded, but still asked with a little concern:
"But...if we still can't win in the end, then..."

“…That’s nothing!”

Sun Yi's answer was very calm:
“As a chess player, winning and losing is a normal thing.

"Since I became a professional player, I have lost many games which was a pity.

"In the 23rd Wu Yue Cup, I lost the game against the Ice Queen due to a trick, and in the second stage of the Lakeside Cup, I lost by half a point due to Aoi Natsukawa's targeting of the official moves.

"In the 24th Tongge Cup, Liu Shixian overturned the game in the official game, and failed to create the biggest upset in the world championship in recent years. In the Yingyi Cup, the little rabbit studied it to pieces! In the semi-finals of the Wuyue Cup at the end of the year, he lost to Kim Youen by half a point again!

"Last year, in the first half of the year, we lost to Yuanzhu in the semifinals of the Spring Orchid Cup, and failed to advance to the ninth place and tie the best result in the Women's World Championship. In the second half of the year, we were half a step behind in the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, and we were just a little bit away from defeating Xiaolei...

"It's a pity to lose any of the above games!

"But in my impression, every time she picked herself up very quickly and put her best foot forward in the next training and competition, which even made people wonder if she had ever been really depressed...

"If she loses this time, I believe she will still do the same - this is where I should learn from her."

"Well...indeed..."

Hearing this, Empress Liu thought about it for a moment, and then expressed her agreement with emotion:
"This girl really doesn't seem to be afraid of failure at all..."

"So, Yu Hong."

Sun Yi followed his girlfriend's words and said:

“Next… let’s relax.

"Just admire Rui Zhao's winning style under adversity!"

...

...

“Well… my second niece is chasing me so fiercely despite being at such a disadvantage!

"Although the winning rate is still not improving, judging from the situation, the central government has many clues!"

At 3:30 pm on the same day, Jinzhu City, Qiannan Province, China.

Du Weichen glanced at the board in front of him and couldn't help but sigh slightly during the live broadcast.

At present, the focus game between Rui Zhao and Park Min-yeol has reached the 155th move.

In the past nearly thirty rounds of confrontation, Rui Zhao, who was obviously behind in the field, played very slowly, trying hard to gain points everywhere, and at the same time finding clues to the chaos, trying to force Park Min-yeol to make mistakes.

However, Da Pu was not stupid, and he was extremely careful in every move, trying not to close the gap too quickly, and trying to simplify the situation. Now, after both sides had captured a piece of the other side, they were almost at the end.

Black just made the 155th move to thicken the middle part of the board, aiming to make final preparations for the formation of the upper right and middle part of the board.

"This little girl has such style!"

The one who had an appointment with Elder Du to watch the game today was "Old Fast" Kuai Liang. After hearing what Du Weichen said, he immediately added:

"Don't be fooled by the fact that her style has become more fancy in the past six months, with all kinds of tactics such as killing isolated enemies, controlling the board, and finishing the game, but in the end, she definitely still likes chaotic battles the most!
"Especially now the gap is too big, there is almost a six-point gap, and it is almost impossible to end it without a chaotic fight, so this girl must hold on for dear life!

"In this game, the final battle will be decided in the middle of the middle... Ah! White made a choice to cut off the upper right! This move is not hard to see...

"The AI ​​now gives White the option of breaking through the upper right and then rushing out. The battle is still very complicated. I think that girl has a chance!"

"But I'm worried... Da Pu won't give me this chance!"

Du Weichen shook his head and sighed:

"Here I think he will consider rolling the piece directly and not fighting with Black in the middle.

"Although this will result in a loss of some points, it will simplify the situation. Moreover, White has a big enough lead now. Even if we lose three points, we will still be in a winning position..."

"Well... that makes sense..."

Lao Kuai, who was on the other end of the microphone, pondered for a moment and gave a helpless smile.

And finally, as expected...

After another round of thinking, Park Min-yeol decisively chose to roll the ball and simplify the situation.

The estimated goal difference between the two sides given by AI was suddenly reduced from six and a half points to three and a half points!
However, because the situation in the upper right corner was greatly simplified, Black's winning rate hardly changed, only rising from 2.2% to 2.5%.

"Ah, it seems that Da Pu's third delay was not in vain!"

Seeing this, Lao Kuai sighed:
"I decisively chose the picture you recommended! Elder Du is still as skilled as ever!"

"That's right! Ginger is always more spicy with age!"

Seeing his commander in a tough fight, Elder Du boasted to himself:
"I'm just old now, and I can't really move much, but in terms of experience I'm still... wait!

"Kuai Liang, what did you just say? Da Pu used a delay?

"Has he entered the countdown yet?!"

"Hmm? Elder, didn't you notice?"

Kuai Liang's tone was a little unexpected:
"It's been more than ten minutes since we entered here, okay? The one-minute delay has already been used twice!"

"He spent a very long time calculating the upper left move in this game. Rui Zhao also played very hard afterwards. Da Pu, who was in an advantageous position, was even more cautious and spent significantly more time than Rui Zhao."

"This……"

Du Weichen scratched his head subconsciously when he saw this:

"But I see my second niece still has 40 minutes! Is the time difference between the two places so big?"

"Hmm... Actually, Rui Zhao had the advantage in terms of time today. After she fell into a disadvantage, I felt that she played much faster. It took her less than half a minute to make a move! She was playing slow chess as if it were fast chess!"

Kuai Liang recalled:
"I guess... he intends to save the time for the crucial moment of the chaotic battle and launch a 'time offensive' against Da Pu!
“No wonder Da Pu chose to avoid fighting!
"With such a huge time difference between the two sides, the White side dare not launch too intense an attack, otherwise there will not be enough time!"

"You mean... my second niece is intentionally saving time?"

Du Weichen couldn't help but rub the few remaining hairs on his head:

"But during this period of time, the quality of her moves was quite good! It doesn't look like she was deliberately trying to save time!"

But these words made Kuai Liang on the other side a little surprised:

"Hmm? Elder Du, you're asking this?

"Isn't this Queen Zhaotian's basic operation?!"

"Basic operation?"

"Yup!"

Kuai Liang immediately explained:

"She has a very good sense of chess, just like me! She is the type that can play chess faster without losing quality!
"How else do you think I lost to her in this year's Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament?!

“It was because she ran into the little monster Xiao Lei in the next round that she lost in the end.

"If she can really get past Xiao Lei, I think she could win the championship right away! Why would she need to wait for the Masters Tournament to win the national championship?"

"……Eh?"

Du Weichen scratched his head again.

Because he himself is not very good at fast chess, Elder Du pays less attention to the games in the fast chess format.

Although he knew that Rui Zhao was strong in fast chess, he really had no intuitive feeling about how strong he was.

But now, Kuai Liang suddenly told him that Rui Zhao had played the past forty moves very quickly, which surprised Du Weichen.

However, before Du Weichen could digest the facts, he saw new changes in Rui Zhao's situation.

In the next few moves, Da Pu used every move until the very end of the countdown, while Rui Zhao made moves almost every time at a rapid pace!
The straight lines can be photographed in seconds, and the parts that require judgment will definitely not exceed twenty seconds.

At this rate, it is estimated that Black’s pieces will not be able to keep their position for more than the last twenty minutes, until the middle of the board is completely shaped and enters the endgame.

Rui Zhao...

It seems that he intends to keep the time pressure on Dapu until the end!
Now, as the disk gets smaller and smaller, she even...

It's still raining faster and faster! (End of this chapter)
