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

"Xiao Liu, congratulations on entering the GS Rapid Chess Tournament finals!"

5:6 pm on May th, South Korea Chess Institute.

Zhao Libo was waiting outside a chess room at the South Korean Chess Institute. When he saw the world's number one player coming out, he immediately stepped forward and greeted him:
"Although you seem to have had more failures in domestic competitions in the past six months, I can feel that your overall condition is better than before!"

"Ah...you're too kind! I just made some compromises!"

Liu Shixian said modestly:

"After all, Inforing has invested heavily in hosting the competition for the development of domestic Go, so I naturally want to show my best in the most important competition!
"There are still three world championships to go before the start of next year: the Tongge Cup, Miaojia Bailing Cup and LIG Cup, and there is also the Asian Games in between.

“My idea is to try my best to win the Tongge Cup first, to get my 15th title and tie Choi Myeong-ho’s long-standing record of four consecutive world championship titles.

"Next, I will win the Asian Games men's individual gold medal, which Choi has never won. I will also try to win one more in the remaining two World Championships, tying Choi's record of 16 World Championships!
"We will strive to welcome the arrival of the most grand stage, the World's Strongest Chess Players Tournament, with the greatest honor and the highest attention!"

Zhao Libo nodded slightly and said appreciatively:

"Well...if they can do this, it will definitely attract a lot of attention, and inforing's products will also get a lot of exposure, so they will surely be very pleased!

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Liu!"

"Ah, I should."

Liu Shixian responded with 70% performance and 30% sincerity:

"I have no resources at home, so this is all I can do for Go in my country."

Liu Shixian said modestly, and wanted to find another reason to leave, but suddenly he thought of something and couldn't help but ask Zhao Libo:
"But... Vice Chairman, why are you in the chess academy?

"Shouldn't you be supporting the Lakeside Cup at the Lotte Hotel?"

“I couldn’t bear to watch it halfway through, so I quickly found a chance to slip out.

"Otherwise, I will be put on the spot by a bunch of reporters after the game and I won't be able to bear it!"

Talking about this topic, Zhao Libo kept shaking his head and complained to Liu Shixian:
"Do you know how cruel Rui Zhao is?
"With only thirty-three moves, after a partial contact with Younghyun, her white chess winning rate was reduced to single digits! After that, she barely escaped, which gave Rui Zhao a great opportunity to chase and kill her. She killed her wherever she went!

"Although Younghyun was given the task of draining Rui Zhao's energy as much as possible before the game, by the 135th move, not only had two white pieces died, but the chessboard in the center was also shattered, and the three white pieces on the right could be swallowed up at any time...

"The AI's estimated goal difference has reached fifty points! We have no choice but to surrender!"

"Uh... didn't Sister Youen tell Younghyun not to actively provoke Rui Zhao?"

Hearing this, Liu Shixian smiled bitterly and asked:

"Even in 2023, Rui Zhao's attack was not something a female chess player could provoke, let alone now..."

"I asked that before I left!"

Zhao Libo sighed again:

“But according to Youen, Rui Zhao is superior to Yingxuan in all aspects.

"If I mention one thing, then I have to mention almost everything, which will put a lot of pressure on her. It's better to let her do whatever she wants..."

"This...is true!"

Liu Shixian thought about it, and finally agreed with his elder sister's statement with a wry smile.

However, Zhao Libo had not yet finished pouring out his grievances, and continued to ramble on:
"In fact, the crushing defeat alone would be fine, but what's even more outrageous about this game is the huge time difference between the two sides!
"When the game reached 86 moves, Younghyun had already entered the countdown, and when the whole game was finished, Rui Zhao still had a full minutes of reserve time left!
"That means she only took ten minutes to beat Younghyun!
"What's even more annoying is that I just watched the post-match interview. A reporter asked her why she played so fast, and whether she was too disrespectful to her opponent because Byeon Young-hyun was only a shodan.

"She actually replied: She wasn't targeting anyone, she just wanted to..."

"...You just want to save more time to practice chess, right?"

"…Huh?"

Zhao Libo was slightly startled when he heard Liu Shixian suddenly take over the conversation:
"How did you know this? Aren't you going to play chess at the academy this afternoon?"

"Ah...I really know her so well!"

Liu Shixian smiled and continued:
“Did you think that what I said in an interview at the closing ceremony after the Nongshim Cup in early March was just a joke?
“She sets very high standards for her training.

"I think the main reason why I withdrew from all women's individual competitions was that I felt that women's competitions could not serve as training. Participating in such competitions is no different from sitting on the field. It is better to practice with experts or use AI to set chess.

"Her level is completely beyond the scope of what a women's chess competition should be!
"If the Lakeside Cup didn't represent national honor and conflicted with the Dragon Star Wars, I think she would have been reluctant to play in the Lakeside Cup, let alone play ten games!

Hearing this, Zhao Libo's expression was slightly distorted:

"you mean……

"She's chopping melons and vegetables on the lakeside cup this time... and she thinks it's troublesome?"

"……Yes."

Young Master Liu smiled and said, "So I think that if we and the Japanese female players are sensible, we shouldn't feel any regret or loss. Instead...

"We should cherish this precious opportunity to compete with the strongest female chess player in history!"

"……what?!"

...

...

“That’s amazing!!!

"You are really good at playing chess! It's simply amazing!!!

"You are indeed my favorite Go idol!!!"

"Easybuy...Aidu Lu?"

Three o'clock in the afternoon on May 5, in the chess room of Lotte Hotel in Seoul.

After hearing the 15-year-old Japanese pioneer, Kanako Akiyama, speak Japanese language impatiently after playing chess, the confused Queen Zhaotian finally encountered the most headache-inducing moment since she stepped onto the stage.

This……

What's going on?

How come right after we finished playing chess, the Japanese chess player on the opposite side came over and talked to himself?
If we don't speak the same language...shouldn't we just make a few gestures with our hands and consider it as reviewing the game?
Just when Zhaojun was so embarrassed that she wanted to throw out the few Japanese words she had learned in her life and quickly get away, Akiyama II seemed to have just come to his senses and hurriedly spoke in some decent Chinese:
"Ah, sorry, sorry! I was so excited! I forgot you don't understand Japanese!

"I've been your biggest fan since you won the Nongshim Cup last year! Rui Zhao Mingren! I even learned a lot of Chinese to support you!
"During the celebrity competition at the end of last year, I waited at the chess academy to get your autograph and talk to you! But you were always surrounded by the media and I didn't get a chance...

"Ah! What do you think of my Chinese?"

"what……

"Not bad..."

"Really?! I'm really encouraged!"

Being praised by her idol, Kanako Akiyama's eyes lit up and she said with joy:

"That's right! I was so excited about this game of chess!

“Ever since you announced that you would no longer participate in women’s individual competitions, I’ve been worried that I might never be able to compete with you in an official competition in this lifetime!

"I never expected that I would be able to compete with you in the Lakeside Cup this time! I am so so so so lucky!"

"Uh……

"It's just a game, it's not that exaggerated..."

Rui Zhao just wanted to calm the young Japanese player on the opposite side, but who knew that Akiyama Kanako's words would come one after another, and she spoke her not-so-skilled words very quickly:
"I just felt your move! How should I put it... I don't even know how to describe it!

"According to the words in your country's martial arts novels, it seems to be called...what is it called?!
"Oh, yes! It's called 'Flying flowers and plucked leaves can hurt people'!
"Since the planning began, I felt that you didn't use any special moves. You just followed the established routines, and each of your moves was mediocre.

"The only time I was relatively proactive was when I invaded and eliminated the four black pieces in the middle of the abdomen, but later on I abandoned the four black pieces I had invaded and eliminated!

"This seems to be a completely inconsistent move, and there doesn't seem to be any powerful or sophisticated tactics involved.

"But as I was walking, I suddenly realized that I couldn't do it anymore! I didn't even know when I couldn't do it anymore! In the end, I had no choice but to admit defeat!
“Although I knew you were very, very good, I never thought you were this good!
“It’s simply… a whole new realm!”

"Well, not really..."

"Of course not! I really admire you so much!"

Kanako's eyes were already so obsessed that they were shining with stars:
"I've decided! I want to work hard to improve my chess skills just like Li-chan! I'll join your Pohu team in the future, and we can play together, okay?
"Let's play together! Let's be Go idols together!"

"……ah?!
"Go idol?!"

"…No! Kanako! What's wrong with you?!

"Why are you trying to get so close to Sister Rui Zhao?!"

"Ah, Rei-chan! Why are you in the game room?!

"It just so happens that I am discussing with Sister Rui Zhao whether there will be a chance to play chess together in the future. You also..."

"Our Pohu team is full! There's no place for you!"

“Eh?
"Do you have to be so stingy?!"
