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

"Ah...Zhu Yuanjun 9th Dan admitted defeat!"

At five o'clock in the evening of the same day, Yan Hui returned to Shengtang International Hotel, to the temporary live broadcast room of [Go Xiaozhao].

When the news that all the people on the scene had voted reached Empress Zhao Tian's absolute home court, the host Hua Ran's tone couldn't help but rise. It was obvious that he was also sincerely happy for Rui Zhao:

“But there’s really no other way!

"Although Zhu Jiudan tried very hard to catch up in the second half of the game, Rui Zhaojie made almost no mistakes, and after the 111th move, the black chess piece played the top move, and the loss of about four points was inevitable.

"Then let us congratulate Sister Rui Zhao for winning the crucial main battle in this round!
“In addition, Yang Manjing defeated Qiu Tao in the fast chess table, and Zeng Guangwen defeated Xue Zhenju in the first table. With three wins, the Pohu team has been confirmed to enter the upper half, but the specific ranking is still to be confirmed!

"From the live broadcast, we can see that Zhu Yuanjun, the ninth dan, is very frustrated about losing the game. He doesn't seem to be in the mood to replay the game. However, it seems that Sister Rui Zhao has no intention of letting him go. She is holding his hand tightly to prevent him from collecting the chess pieces and leaving!

"Ah, I remember the game at the Spring Orchid Cup. It seems that Zhu Yuanjun didn't review the game with Sister Rui Zhao afterwards. She is still brooding over this matter. I guess she won't let Zhu Yuanjun go no matter what...

"Well... everyone should stop repeating [I envy Yuan Zhu for being caught by Xiao Zhao] all the time. Judging from Zhu Yuanjun's distorted expression, he seems to be in a very low mood right now...

"Cheng Yuyang, 3rd dan, could you please give us some detailed comments on this game?"

"Ah, okay."

Cheng Yuyang, who was standing by, glanced at the large piece of "Not Knowing How Blessed You Are" that had just been posted in the live broadcast room, then he cleared his throat calmly and began to summarize:

“This game of chess… as a whole, it was a game of pure internal strength, and there was no fierce fighting between the two sides.

"After the opening, Zhu Yuanjun was clearly well prepared, playing the unpopular opening move of Star Three Three. Then, when Rui Zhao chose the big flying hook and the super big flying opening move, he played an extremely unpopular point, testing Rui Zhao's response.

“I have to say, this move is indeed very tricky. It is difficult for ordinary chess players to make a move without preparation.

"As Rui Zhao did not give the correct answer, the two black pieces below were separated, and the black chess player fell into a disadvantage.

“But in my opinion, Rui Zhao’s overall strength is indeed a little higher than Zhu Yuanjun’s at the moment, and he is very calm even when he is at a disadvantage.

"Although there was no fierce battle, the gap between the two sides was narrowing during the middle game.

"When the upper left position was finally formed, Rui Zhao played a strong move, but Zhu Yuanjun chose to be timid and patient, and Rui Zhao took advantage of the situation again, and the gap between the two sides was almost evened.

"The 110th and 111th moves are where the final victory or defeat lies.

"Here, it may be that after Zhu Yuanjun finished shaping the upper left position, he realized that his early advantage had been lost, and his mentality fluctuated. He missed the important double advantage at the end. Black's 111 move took the lead and then attacked, which was very comfortable. The real estate and thickness of both sides here have undergone tremendous changes.

“After that, the AI ​​judged that Black had completely reversed the situation and gained a lead of about four points.

"Rui Zhao once again showed his excellent finishing skills and played the endgame very steadily, maintaining his advantage until the end and not letting Zhu Jiudan close the gap.

"Seeing that all the official moves were about to be completed, even though Zhu Yuanjun was unwilling to give up, he had no choice but to resign - this is my simple summary of this game of chess."

"Thank you Cheng Yuyang for your explanation! I also benefited a lot from it."

"Hua Ran, don't be so polite!

"We are both in the third stage, so we are just discussing with each other!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Hua Ran was a little surprised - it was the first time she heard a male guest say this to her:

"But, but I'm a female chess player, so I'm definitely weaker than male chess players of the same rank...

"You can't say that!"

Cheng Yuyang smiled and said:
"Look, although Rui Zhao is only a seventh-level player, can you find a seventh-level player who is better than her?"

"Uh... I definitely can't find this..."

Hua Ran hesitated for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something:
"But, but after this game of chess, Sister Rui Zhao has officially been promoted to level eight!"

"Ah, same!"

Cheng Yuyang's expression remained the same:
"Can you find an eight-dan who is stronger than Rui Zhao?"

Hearing this, Hua Ran was stunned again, then smiled bitterly:

"Hiss - if that's the case...

"I am speechless!"

...

...

[Congratulations: After one year and seven months, "Zhao Tian Hou" Rui Zhao finally got promoted to the eighth dan! ]

[After defeating Zhu Yuanjun in the 15th round of the Weiqi League regular season today, Rui Zhao finally succeeded in overcoming the difficulties and was promoted to the eighth dan in an unprecedented way by simultaneously meeting the requirements in the first, second, and third responsible games! ]

[It must be said that compared to the previous smooth sailing of "promoting to the next level in one year", this promotion to the eighth level was a difficult journey for Rui Zhao. ]

[From July 7th of the previous year to February 8th of this year, it took a total of one year and seven months, 2 days, and 7 games for promotion. Rui Zhao met the promotion standards in the first, second, and third games at the same time, and finally succeeded in promotion to the eighth dan! She became the fourth female eighth dan player in China New Century after Zou Yang, Liu Yuhong, and Yang Manjing! ]

[Also, although it took Rui Zhaoxiao two years to advance from 7th dan to 8th dan, because his previous speed of "promoting to 7th dan in one year" was too fast, after being promoted to 8th dan this time, he still significantly broke the "fastest record of reaching 8th dan and above after being appointed as a dan", taking only two years and seven months.]

【So far, Rui Zhao has maintained all the records of the fastest reaching X-dan (and above) from 2nd dan to 8th dan. The final suspense is whether the record of "Prodigal Son" Lang Haishen who was promoted to 9th dan four years and one month after being promoted to 9th dan through the World Championship Direct Promotion can also be won by "Zhao Tianhou". 】【From Rui Zhao's overall performance recently, it is very likely that he will be promoted to 9th dan. This platform believes that if he performs normally, he is expected to be promoted to 9th dan smoothly within a year. 】

[But it’s a pity that the “little witch” Yang Manjing, who is also on the Pohu team, has been performing strongly recently. She has won three games in the past five rounds of Weiqi A, and has shown a more dominant performance in the women’s arena than the two former duos! ]

[Many people in the industry believe that Yang Manjing is very likely to be promoted to the ninth dan within half a year.]

[Because there were fewer events in the first half of the year, Rui Zhao, who had just been promoted to 8th dan and was striving for 9th dan, would probably have a hard time getting promoted to 9th dan ahead of her, and might have to give up the honor of being the first female 9th dan since the new century.]

[But no matter what, for Rui Zhao, if she can really be promoted to the ninth dan through long-term unlimited competitions, then she will have truly fulfilled her "big talk" at the Weiqi League awards ceremony last year. ]

[Not only did she not receive any preferential treatment in the promotion policy when she was promoted to level nine, she didn’t even get the advantage of participating in the women’s competition! ]

[The nine dan obtained in this way is indeed genuine and flawless, and no one can say anything about it. ]

[If Rui Zhao can really do it successfully, even if she can't become the "first female ninth dan since the new century" before Yang Manjing, then this platform will definitely pay her a higher level of respect! ]

[Exclusive article from Yiguo Go platform, we will continue to bring you related Go news reports in the future. ]

【Netizen comments:】

[Ah! Congratulations! I’ve finally become the eighth diva! This feels like such a long time…]

[When the Queen was promoted to 7th place two years ago, I thought that with her strength, it would only take half a year at most for her to be promoted to 8th place! ]

[Who would have thought that she would suddenly decide not to participate in the women's competition and go to the unlimited competition to suffer! ]

[As a result, I was targeted by a group of 9-dan players the year before last, and last year I had bad luck with the draw and my own poor performance, so I dragged out a matter that should have been resolved within half a year for a year and a half! ]

[If she had won two more times in the women's competition, wouldn't she have had everything?! ]

[That’s great! The little witch might be about to snatch the title of “the first female ninth dan since the new century” that should belong to her. What a pity…]

[Well, it's a bit unfortunate, but it's not a big problem. ]

[Xiao Zhao himself has never cared much about his rank, otherwise he would have agreed to be promoted to level 9 long ago! ]

[Being able to receive the honor without any flaws according to her own expectations is the most important thing. ]

[Ha! What do you mean by no flaws! ]

[This time, she was promoted to the eighth place by winning two games against Yang Manjing, a female player, and a series of victories in the celebrity tournament by cheating with flying knives.]

[It's so high, but there are still people here who brag that it has "no flaws at all". I'm almost dying of laughter! ]

【? ? ? 】

[What kind of insane little wisdom is this upstairs? ! ]

[A chess player who has recently defeated many domestic and foreign masters, including Tuzai, Naofu, Xuxianren, Dapu, Lao Li, Lao Xu, Xiaoxiong, and Yuanzhu, and only lost to Master Liu, who is the best in the world and the top two in history! ]

[With such a performance, there are still people who question her promotion to level eight?! ]

[Ask these eight-dan chess players in China, if there is such a training order in front of them, would they dare to accept it? ]

……

Well……

I was promoted to ninth grade by playing in the women's competition... It's a bit despicable after all!

At the same time, Yan Hui returned to the chess players' rest area of ​​Shengtang Hotel.

Yang Manjing, who had just watched and analyzed Rui Zhao's game, looked at the Yiguo news and the comments that were posted almost immediately after the game. He was originally very excited, but suddenly he felt an inexplicable depression.

--Yes.

Until just now today, the little witch was in a very good mood.

After all, she met Qiu Tao, 7th dan, on the fast chess table today and played a very satisfying game, almost winning! She took the lead for her team!

Afterwards, Zeng Guangwen and Rui Zhao also defeated their respective opponents. Although Elder Du looked hopeless against Peng Wendong, the Pohu team was still able to win three points by winning three games and advance to the top eight championship zone! Even the reigning Queen Mulan began to imagine the celebration banquet in the evening!

However, when she finished reading the latest news from Yiguo, she couldn't help feeling a little conflicted.

If it were the little witch three years ago, she would definitely not think there was anything wrong with "relying on women's competitions to get promoted" - these are official competitions stipulated by the association, why can't she get promoted through this?
But... as the saying goes, everything is afraid of comparison.

Originally, all female chess players did this, so no one thought it was a big deal.

But when there was an outlier who only played unlimited matches to advance in rank, the advancement in rank that involved women's matches... seemed to lack value.

“Honor is worthless if the standards are not consistent.”

It was not until then that Yang Manjing finally understood, somewhat belatedly, the profound meaning of Rui Zhao's words at the Weiqi League awards ceremony.

At the same time, after struggling for a long time...

I made a small decision in my heart. (End of this chapter)
