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

She...beat Lao Li again...

This is really, we have already caught up to a very close place...

At five o'clock in the evening of the same day, in Dajing City, New Century Yingkong Hotel.

Lei Qi, who had just defeated Bian Lele on the main general podium and returned to the chess players' rest area, stared at the results of another main general battle in another regular season of the Weiqi League and couldn't help but sigh.

It has to be said that even though he played normally today and defeated veteran Bian Lele relatively smoothly, the young Chinese leader was not in a very good mood at this time.

At this moment, a voice familiar to Lei Qi suddenly came from his ear:

"Lei Qi, why do you seem unhappy even though you won the game?"

"Teacher Shang!"

Lei Qi looked up and couldn't help but exclaimed, then quickly stood up and asked the chairman of the chess association to sit down:

"Why are you here?"

"Nothing. I came here today to discuss some business promotion matters with the owner of your club. It's a good opportunity for me to come and watch your game!"

Shang Chaotian briefly answered the student's question, and then turned his attention back to Lei Qi himself:

"But...what's wrong with you? I see you look very serious!"

"what……"

Lei Qi couldn't help but put on a slightly embarrassed smile and told half the truth:
"I just... I feel a little ashamed for not being able to leave the Dream Lily Cup in China!"

"Hey! You are putting too much pressure on yourself!"

Shang Chaotian immediately consoled him:

"Last year, Liu Shixian won three of the five world championships, and you won two, so it's basically a 'double pride' situation!
“Although I feel a little disappointed that I didn’t win the Lily Cup in the final dream, there’s no need to set such high standards for myself!”

However, Lei Qi shook his head slightly and said truthfully:
"The twin prides or something... I'm afraid they can't really be called that!

"Last year, I played eleven games with him, and I only won three of them. Two of them were played by the white chess pieces under Chinese rules!
"The 8-3 record in head-to-head matches is really not good enough...

"and……"

"And what?"

Lei Qi pursed his lips, thought about it, and then told his teacher, who was the chairman of the chess association, his concerns truthfully:
“…I’m a little worried about the Nongshim Cup.”

After hearing this, Shang Chaotian, who had just looked relatively relaxed, finally became serious and pretended to continue listening.

Seeing this, Lei Qi continued to explain:

“South Koreans play chess at a faster pace, so they are more familiar with the fast pace of the Nongshim Cup.

"Now facing Liu Shixian, I can't get an advantage in the slow chess world championship. And in the fast chess rhythm of the Nongshim Cup, it is really hard to say to what extent I can fight him...

“No wonder he was able to win four consecutive Nongshim Cups and set a record of 17 consecutive wins across different competitions!

“The nickname ‘God of Nongshim’ is well-deserved.”

After hearing this, Shang Chaotian did not respond for a while - because what the student said was indeed true.

Compared with domestic competitions in China, domestic competitions in South Korea have a distinct feature: a considerable number of competitions use the extra-second system.

The added-second system is different from the traditional "use the reserve time first, and then start counting each move after the reserve time is used up". The added-second system does not have the so-called "countdown for each move", but only the reserve time. A fixed time (usually less than one minute) is added to the reserve time for each move. The player loses the game if the reserve time is used up.

Under such a competition system, the overall pace of chess moves naturally speeds up a lot, so South Korean chess players do have an advantage over Chinese chess players in fast chess competitions.

During the "glorious nine years" of Chinese Go, even though the number of world champions showed an overwhelming advantage over South Korea, the record in the Nongshim Cup was only 7-2, and the team was forced into a decisive battle by South Korea several times!

This is partly due to the fact that Lee Jung-yeon, "the weakest leader in South Korean history," was struggling to hold on, but it is also a very important factor that South Korean chess players as a whole are better at fast chess.

Now, when Liu Shixian was able to suppress Lei Qi in the World Championships, it is indeed a question mark as to how likely China's new leader is to win against the "God" in the Nongshim Cup.

“…Ah, of course, Mr. Shang.

"I will definitely do my best. I'm not trying to find excuses, it's just..."

"I understand. You have matured a lot. Just do your best!"

Seeing that his silence seemed to make the students feel a little pressured, Shang Chaotian quickly explained:

"Besides, when it comes to competition, you shouldn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a pond!

"Liu Shixian is now at the best age of 25 or 26, and you still have room to grow.

"Even if we really don't have the strength to do it, if we wait another two years, I'm afraid the offensive and defensive situations will be different!

"Your time is still in the future!"

"Still in the future...?" But there are still obstacles ahead, and behind...

There may be pursuers!
Lei Qi pondered for a while, then subconsciously glanced at the black chess AI win rate curve on his phone, which had been rising smoothly since the start of the game, and sighed:

"I hope... so!"

...

...

"……What?!
"In the next round against Pohu, you'll let the team race horses, or you won't play?!"

At the same time, in the chess players' lounge area at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tiangang City.

In today's 11th round of the Weiqi League regular season, the Tiangang team faced the Jianghan team. After the game, the two South Korean foreign players gathered here and chatted casually.

However, when Xu Xiangheng heard a "little information" that Park Min-yeol casually revealed, he was indeed a little surprised.

For the Jianghan team, which has just been promoted to the first division in this season, Da Pu is undoubtedly the iron chief. In the first division, the winning fee of the chief is generally twice that of other players. According to the principle of making money, there is no reason for foreign players to take the initiative to say that they don't want to play as the chief.

However, this time, Da Pu took the extremely unusual initiative to ask not to give up the main player and let the team consider horse racing, which really surprised Da Pu!

However, Da Pu also has reasons to say:

"Yes!

"Who do I want to kill? I want to kill that Empress Zhaotian!
"After the Mengli Lily Cup, I stressed to the team many times: I can play in the next round against Pohu, but I can't be the main player!
"I don't want to be tortured by Rui Zhao anymore!
“Oh, I also suggested that the team directly use that third-level substitute!

"I heard Rui Zhao is about to be promoted to level 8 recently. No matter what, I can't give her promotion points. Even horse racing can't make her feel comfortable!"

"Is it really that serious? She is just a little girl after all..."

"Why not!"

Seeing that Xu Xiangheng still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, Park Minyeol took out his mobile phone without saying anything, opened the Go app, and showed Xu Xiangheng the game between Rui Zhao and Li Junyan today:

"Look at the game between Rui Zhao and Brother Li today. It was another smooth move. It made me sweat a little!

"Besides, the more you look at this guy, the less he seems to have any weaknesses!

"Look at her recent moves. She defeated Takuya Ichijo and Toranoichiro Ueno with a direct layout!

"And the reversal of Lei Qi in the Masters Tournament and the reversal of me in the Lily Cup were both achieved through extremely precise endgame moves!

"Now, facing Big Brother Li, he quickly established an advantage by sacrificing pieces in the middle game, and then he continued to surround the white dragon to simplify the situation! Big Brother Li had no chance at all in the whole game, and was just pushed away!
“She’s just a little girl, but now she acts like a seasoned veteran!
"It's hard to win against a little monster that has almost no weaknesses. The media in our country, which knows nothing about chess, will mock us for being beaten by a female chess player. Why would we risk our lives for such a slim hope?

“Let’s put it this way!

"Apart from Xiao Liu, anyone in our country who wants to fight her is a fool!"

Da Pu thought that what he said was well-reasoned and convincing.

But who would have thought that when Xu Xiangheng heard this, his expression suddenly became unnatural, and he squeezed out a sentence:
“…Uh, that.

"Before today's game, our team coach just found me and asked me to go to the main podium in the next round against Pohu. I happily agreed..."

"……Eh?!"

Park Min-yeol was startled when he heard this:
"Isn't your team's captain Lin Ruixin?! Why did you let them go?!"

Xu Xiangheng said awkwardly:

"He has been in a bad state recently. He even made a mistake in the flying pressure routine at the Yume Lily Cup and lost to Xiao Liu.

"And our team has been working hard to get into the top two recently. Of course, we have to strive to win three points against a weak team like Pohu. The team is also a little worried that Rui Zhao has a grudge against him, and if he has any preparations, they plan to let me be the main general in that game..."

Park Min-yeol was very surprised by this statement: "Huh? Will the arrogant Lin Ruixin agree to it?!"

"You promised! Otherwise you wouldn't have told me..."

Xu Xiangheng scratched his head, and then seemed to be a little uneasy and brought the topic back:
"Um...Min Lie, this Rui Zhao isn't that exaggerated, right?
"I saw that you had a big advantage in your dream at the Lily Cup, and didn't she also have bad performances in the previous Yixian Tournament?

“I think as long as you are well prepared…

"There should still be a good chance of winning...right?!"

"Well... maybe..."

Da Pu hesitated for a moment, looked at the senior who was two years older than him for a few seconds, and then patted Lao Xu's shoulder meaningfully and with a bit of gloating, and said:
"Anyway, Brother Xiangheng...

“At this point, all I can say is…

"Good luck!" (End of this chapter)
