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

"Ah... I give up."

At 7:6 in the evening of July , inside Tongge Tower.

As Rui Zhao's clear voice was heard, the whispers of the front-line staff finally could be heard in the silent chess room on the third floor.

In principle, as a staff member, you should not make any noise at this time.

However, Liu Shixian, who had just let out a long sigh of relief without making a sound, could understand the staff members whispering to each other very well.

After watching such an exciting game, if one could refrain from saying a word, it would only show that he probably has no passion for Go.

Not even...let alone the bystanders.

Even the world's number one man who had been chased all the way here couldn't help but recall the aftertaste of the game just now.

In this game of chess, the momentum and attacking power displayed by Rui Zhao were truly astonishing!

Giving up the entire white chess piece on the right to kill the big dragon in the middle of the belly...it's no exaggeration to say that this is insane!
result……

This contemporary Zhaojun was just a little bit away from success!
In this game, since Black's 175th move, both sides have pushed forward and the black dragon can no longer make a second eye. Everything depends on whether Black can grab the white piece on the left and fight its way out.

In the end... Young Master Liu did it.

In the end, the white piece failed to win the fight for the ko in the lower left corner, and the black piece in the middle was just a little slower. After 239 moves, seeing that there was no way back, the Zhaojun who had fought hard for five hours resigned and admitted defeat.

And when he saw his opponent finally admit defeat, Liu Shixian could almost feel his brain secreting dopamine crazily, soothing his tired body and mind.

Like many East Asians, Liu Shixian has always believed that Westerners who enjoy extreme sports are courting death.

But at this moment, he suddenly understood the driving force behind those extreme sports enthusiasts.

This is indeed... the most supreme feeling of pleasure!

The number one man in the world couldn't help but sigh in his heart, then raised his eyes to look at the beautiful lady Jiuduan who had just brought him such a wonderful experience.

Although Rui Zhao did not show any sign of frustration at this moment, and just stared at the chessboard in front of him, Liu Shixian could still clearly read the other party's unwillingness from the pursed lips of this fast chess Athena.

There is no way. No one would feel good after such a crazy attempt to sacrifice a pawn to slay the dragon only to fail in the end.

Moreover, this famous Chinese player Zhaojun seemed to be incredibly confident in her chess moves in the final stage. She had one minute to think about each move, but she made each move in seconds! It seemed that she wanted to completely overwhelm Liu Shixian in terms of momentum!
It's a pity that such a complicated fight cannot be fought in this way!
Rui Zhao, who was able to defeat his opponent in seconds with every move, made two mistakes in the final stage which seemed quite obvious to Liu Shixian, and directly destroyed his last hope.

After making such a confident move, he ended up failing miserably. One can imagine how disappointed and regretful he felt.

“Thanks for your advice!
"I had a lot of fun playing this game."

Liu Shixian returned the greeting politely.

While he was still thinking about how to comfort this opponent who brought him so much joy, the "Quick Chess Athena" smiled and replied:

“Me too, actually!

"Um, Liu Jiudan! Let's hurry up and review the game!"

As if afraid that Liu Shixian would run away, Rui Zhao quickly entered the review state:
"I feel... I was a little too reckless in today's game: forcing the central dragon to be killed was a bit excessive.

“In fact, at the 130th move, I wanted to hold it in the middle and pretend to be in the right position. I felt that the situation was not bad at that time!

“But I always feel that if I keep playing step by step like this, I will probably fall into your pace, Liu Jiudan, and I might not have a chance in the middle of the game. So I thought that instead of being slowly worn down, I might as well give it a try while the chessboard is still big!
"Looking back now, it was actually too much of a stretch!"

Uh……

You just finished playing such a game of chess, don’t you want to adjust your mood?
...isn't that really her style?
Liu Shixian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to correct Rui Zhao's two serious mistakes at the last moment, so he immediately agreed:
"But... this is very much in line with your style, isn't it? You even had a chance! It's just that you ended up..."

"Liu Jiuduan, please stop comforting me!"

At this time, Rui Zhao puffed up his lips helplessly and interrupted Liu Shixian directly:

"As long as you make the right bet, I have no chance at all. I am quite clear about that."

Calculate……

Is it clear???!
Hearing this, Liu Shixian couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Liu Shixian, who had just finished playing this game of chess, understood very well that Rui Zhao's moves in the final stage could be said to be made in seconds, as if he had played the last move of the contract! And there were two obvious mistakes!
result……

She said she had figured it out? ? ? !
The young master of the Liu family immediately corrected:
“But if you can change the 186th move into a tiger, you actually have a chance!

"This way, your chess pieces will be more flexible. You might even have a chance to defeat the two black pieces successfully..."

"So, Liu Jiuduan, please stop comforting me!"

Rui Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head and interrupted:
"I can still calculate this change clearly!"

"……Eh?"

"…If there is a tiger here, there will be a fight afterwards.

"In the actual game just now, it was very clear through the ko in the lower left corner - the black dragon itself has too many kos. As long as I have to win the game through ko, I will have no hope.

"I made the move in seconds, hoping that you would be able to stick to it easily when the seconds were up, so that when I clamped it again, the black pieces would have to jump and capture four white pieces, and I could get through.

"The subsequent changes are relatively simple. In short, the black dragon cannot create a second eye, so I have managed to steal this game.

"However, it seems that this little trick still can't fool you, Liu Jiuduan...

"You are truly recognized as the best person alive!"

Hearing this, Liu Shixian's relaxed smile froze on his face instantly. After being silent for several seconds, he asked again:

"You mean...

"You made all the decisions in seconds because you didn't want me to have any extra time to think?"

"Yes!"

Rui Zhao scratched his head embarrassedly:

"At the Yumeli Lily Cup earlier this year, I used this trick to win a set from Park Min-yeol, 9th Dan, so I wanted to try to do the same... but unfortunately I failed!"

For a moment, Liu Shixian, who was always as steady as an old dog, showed a rare look of doubt and quickly continued to ask:

"Then... in the 200th move, why didn't you choose to jump on the left, but instead made a series of moves on the corner? "From the shape of the chess, the corner is obviously a capture. After you made a move here, you sold out the energy-extending move on the left! It should be here that the white pieces have a greater chance of jumping and killing the upper pieces!"

"But isn't this still a robbery?"

Rui Zhao still thought that Liu Shixian was just testing him, and he didn't notice anything unusual and started to pose:
"Indeed, by taking the initiative here, my white chess on the left can counterattack the small black chess in the middle.

"But the problem is that Black can take advantage of White's tight defense to get through all the way. Then White will capture. Black only needs to grab this move, and then White will have problems on the lower left.

"The white chess piece in the lower left corner is obviously a capture. As I just said, they are all the same anyway. We can only hope that you, Liu Jiudan, can find a blind capture.

"But this... is still too far-fetched!"

Hearing this, Liu Shixian was almost stunned!
no……

Didn’t she just kill all of them in seconds?
How did it calculate the subsequent changes so quickly and accurately?!
however……

Rui Zhao’s “reflection” continues.

"Actually... you've already given me a chance in this game, Liu Jiudan.

“At the 167th move, maybe because of the countdown, you, Liu Jiudan, didn’t notice that there was a sujitsuji.

“As long as this hand came out, I would have been doomed.

"But fortunately, this move was relatively concealed. You may not have noticed it, Liu Jiuduan, so it gave me a chance to hold on a little longer - but unfortunately, it still didn't work in the end..."

At this point, Hanhan sighed slightly, looking very regretful, but also seemed to encourage himself in his heart:
“…Dai Jiudan is right!
"As a top chess player, you still need to be flexible in your thinking and not just blindly decide the outcome in the field you are best at...

"Sure enough, I still have a lot to learn from chess players like you, Liu Jiudan!"

However, Liu Shixian, who was complimented by the other party as a "learning object", did not show the slightest happiness at this time.

He stared blankly at the changes Rui Zhao had just made in the center of the chessboard, unable to utter a word for a long time.

He had just won the extremely exciting and highly anticipated Hundred Eyes Dragon Slaying Battle, but at the moment, he suddenly lost the joy of winning after a hard-fought battle! For a moment, his mood was indescribable!

"Uh... Liu Jiudan?"

Seeing that Liu Shixian didn't say anything for a long time, Rui Zhao couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Did I say something wrong?"

Only then did Liu Shixian come back to his senses. He blinked several times unconsciously before smiling again and saying:
“No… you said it very well!

"You were able to spot blind spots that I didn't notice in the game. You're really amazing..."

"No, no!"

Rui Zhao responded modestly:
"It's just that I usually play more offensive chess, so I'm more sensitive to this kind of chess pattern, and I'm also familiar with straight line calculations!"

However, Liu Shixian did not respond to the humility of the world's top attacker. Instead, he suddenly brought up another topic:
"...Asian Games...I'll be waiting for you to challenge me!"

"……Eh?"

Rui Zhao, who was just being modest, was stunned. Liu Shixian continued calmly:

"If I can't defeat you, then this gold medal...is not perfect!
"This also applies to the World's Strongest Go Player Tournament at the beginning of next year and the final Nongshim Cup."

After hearing this, Zhaojun, a famous Chinese who had made some progress in social skills, immediately reacted and nodded vigorously:

“Well, I understand Liu Jiudan!

"I will continue to work hard in the upcoming Nongshim Cup qualifiers and subsequent competitions this year!"

“…Then I’m looking forward to it.”

Although...it's still unknown how poisonous this glass of wine will be next time.

Even... I might be dead the next time we meet.

But the wine in front of me...

It really makes people unable to control themselves and can't stop!

Thinking of this, Liu Shixian couldn't help but sigh.

Although the method is quite different from the traditional one...

But at this moment, Liu Shixian really understood the meaning of the term "beautiful women are the root of trouble" very deeply.

Ah, never mind for now... just live one day at a time!
At least, I can still take this intoxicating experience of the Tongge Cup this time and look forward to what only Choi Myung-ho has done...

Won the World Championships for four consecutive years.

Thinking of this, Liu Shixian subconsciously turned his head to look at another chess table in the game room, intending to see whether his young opponent had ended the game early.

However, what surprised him was...

At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded in the chess room, startling everyone in the room.

Liu Rui and the others felt a sense of déjà vu for a moment when they heard this roar - they had heard a similar roar in the semi-finals of the Spring Orchid Cup more than a year ago.

However, even though the meaning and emotion contained in this roar were very similar to those at last year's Spring Orchid Cup, the two of them could still clearly hear the difference.

Because the timbres of the two are obviously from different people.

The person who roared at that time was someone of Rui Zhao's age.

And this time...

But it was replaced by someone of Liu Shixian's age...

...

...

On July 7, the third "Tongge Cup" World Go Open decided the two finalists as scheduled. The final matchups are:
[Liu Shixian] Yes...
