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

"Hey! I give up!
"Rui Zhao, you are really amazing! I was killed in an instant!"

"Ah, thank you, thank you for your advice!"

At 9:19 am on September th, inside the chess game room at the Zhongjing International Conference Center.

Seeing that Chen Leying chose to resign after just 89 moves, Zhao Tianhou, who was very active before the game, could only force a business smile on her face, and at the same time, she couldn't help but grumble in her heart.
Although... I'm already prepared for Sister Chen to not be too strong...

But this is too weak!
Rui Zhao couldn't help but look at the chessboard in front of him again - his black chess pieces had already killed the opponent's pieces.

If she didn't know a little bit about the ways of the world now, I'm afraid that all the moves of her opponent would be either a pain in the ass or she would be killed directly! It's really unbearable to watch!

Her level...

Is he really the top player in the region who can participate in the Asian Games? I feel...

She may not even be better than Xiaohui!

Thinking of this, Rui Zhao, who had played two handicap games with Qu Hui before, couldn't help but ask the other party:

"Um... Sister Chen! Excuse me for asking!
"I, I may not have checked your information before the game. What is your rank?"

"Hmm? Rank?"

Chen Leying didn't pay any attention to the cautious questioning of the contemporary Zhaojun. She just waved her hand with a hint of self-mockery and said:

"I only have 4 jobs!"

“…Huh? Karma 4?!!”

Rui Zhao opened his eyes wide in surprise when he heard this:

"Sister Chen...

“You’re not even a professional… and you can participate in the Asian Games?!

"In our place, everyone is fighting fiercely for such a spot!"

"Huh? What's so strange about this?"

Chen Leying said with a smile:

"Go is a niche sport, and there are only four places with relatively complete professional systems: Japan, South Korea, mainland China, and Taiwan.

“In other areas, let alone professional female players, there are probably only one or two professional chess players at most!

"It's normal for me to be pushed up as an industry 4!"

Even professional chess players... there are only one or two at most?

Rui Zhao blinked, revealing deep disbelief.

Whether on the original Earth or on the current Blue Planet, she has been concentrating on Go and rarely paid attention to the development of Go in other countries and regions. Therefore, she doesn't know much about what Chen Leying said.

But after pondering for a few seconds, Rui Zhao tried hard to smile again and reviewed the situation with Chen Leying - although the essence of this review was just one-sided guidance.

indeed……

It seems that I have never heard of any professional competitions or the birth of any professional chess players in Zhuhai and Hong Kong.

It seems that this situation is not impossible.

If we look at it this way, in the men's team competition this afternoon, the male chess players of the Thai team may not be that strong either, and they may just be amateur level as well...

really……

For Go, promotion and publicity are very, very important things...

Thinking of this, Rui Zhao's mood was a little lower than before the game.

However, she still tried to adjust her mood and secretly cheered herself up.

It's okay, Rui Zhao! Just two games of instruction, it won't have much of an impact!
Moreover, as Sister Chen just said, aren’t there more children in Zhuhai and Hong Kong who have started learning chess?
As long as time goes by, there will definitely be more high-level chess players emerging in the future!

However, what Rui Zhao didn't know at this time was:

Even though she, the absolute queen of Chinese chess, had fully prepared herself mentally, the shock this afternoon's game would bring her...

It was far beyond her imagination at the time.

...

...

"...Coach Jiao! Rui Zhao...

"What happened to her?!"

At 3:50 p.m. on the same day, in the lounge area of ​​the Zhongjing International Conference Center.

Lei Qi, who had just finished a game, came here to find coach Jiao Kai, his tone full of anxiety:
"I saw her huddled in a corner, not doing any analysis or review. She just sat there absent-mindedly. When I asked her, she said she was a little tired and needed to rest. "I asked Zeng Guangwen, and he said that Rui Zhao became like this after he chatted with you for a few minutes after the game. He didn't know the details.

"Do you know... what happened? I've never seen her like this before!!"

Just as Lei Qi said, there does seem to be something very wrong with Rui Zhao now.

After the Hua Xia women's team defeated the Hua Xia Zhugang team with a total score of 3-0 in the morning, the men's team also played lightly in this afternoon's game.

Rui Zhao on the first board won easily in less than half an hour, which showed that his opponent's level was indeed not high.

Lei Qi's opponent in this game was roughly at the amateur level, and the Chinese leader also finished the game in just 40 minutes.

However, when he returned to the rest area, he found that the energetic Hanhan who won the game first seemed to have wilted. He huddled in a corner of the rest area with his lips pursed, as if he had suffered a great shock. No matter how he asked, he just answered, "I'm a little tired, I want to be quiet."

Xiao Lei Jiudan was immediately worried about his old enemy's extremely strange low mood. After asking Zeng Guangwen, he immediately came to Jiao Kai to inquire about the situation.

"Hey! This is also my fault!"

After hearing Lei Qi's question, Jiao Kai sighed and said:
"I didn't expect she would care so much about such a small thing!"

"A small matter?!"

"Look at the game Rui Zhao just played!"

Jiao Kai casually pulled out a chess record and forwarded it to Lei Qi via WeChat.

Seeing Jiao Kai sending him the chess record, Lei Qi knew that the abnormal behavior of his "enemy" must be related to him, so he quickly opened it and started reading.

However, after only two seconds, Xiao Lei Jiudan frowned.

Because this game of chess can hardly be called a game of chess!

The Thai chess player with white pieces can be said to be a complete novice who only knows the most basic rules! He doesn't even understand the basic chess theory!

Judging from the chess game, Rui Zhao, who played black, was obviously very, very unbelievable about the level of his opponent, and kept trying to guide his opponent to place the pieces in places with high efficiency.

But unfortunately, the Thai player on the opposite side really didn't know how to do it at all. He just held on to the idea of ​​"surrounding all the opponent's pieces to capture the enemy piece", and tried hard to tighten the energy of the black pieces!
In China, any kid who has attended a Go training class for two or three days probably can’t play this kind of chess!!!

"this……

"This Thai player doesn't know how to do this at all!"

Lei Qi couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Is he just a temporary strong man captured to make up the numbers?!"

"……Um."

Jiao Kai took another deep breath, then nodded helplessly.

After hearing this, Lei Qi finally understood the reason a little!

Although Lei Qi did not participate in the two Asian Games in Suizhou in 2010 and Qiantang in 2022, he had naturally heard about the "conscripting young men" to make up the numbers to participate in the team competition in the Asian Games Go event as a student of the chess king.

When it comes to the sport of Go, the countries and regions involved in the system are only South Korea, Japan, mainland China, and Taiwan Strait Province of China. However, it would be too embarrassing if only four countries participated in a small event in the Asian Games.

Therefore, in the men's and women's team competitions, even though they know that other countries and regions outside of these four are not competitive at all, the Go organizations in the host countries will try their best to mobilize Go enthusiasts from other countries to form teams to participate in the competition, at least to make the event look good.

But unfortunately, the popularity of Go in other Asian countries outside of China, Britain and South Korea is ridiculously low!

There is even an embarrassing situation where some countries cannot even find five Go players!
Under such circumstances, recruiting outsiders who know nothing about the rules as "filling up the numbers" after simply teaching them the basic rules is not a solution, and the situation Rui Zhao is facing now is inevitable.

However, for Rui Zhao, who has always regarded the development of Go as his own responsibility...

Thailand is a Southeast Asian country with a population of tens of millions and many overseas Chinese, but it can't even find five people who can play Go! So much so that in the Asian Games, a top Go event with such a special significance, there are still players who play Go as if it were a "game of capturing pieces"!
This is undoubtedly equivalent to pouring a basin of ice-cold water directly onto this girl who is full of infinite enthusiasm for Go!
Just as Lei Qi gradually came to his senses, Jiao Kai also said self-reproachfully:

"When she came to ask me just now, I didn't think much about it and told her everything, telling her not to make a fuss. But it turned out like this! I tried to persuade her but she just sat there. She was really depressed to a certain extent...

"Maybe we had been telling her how important the Asian Games was, which left a deep impression on her and made her feel that this Asian Games would definitely be a very high-level competition. But in the end, there was such a sudden contrast, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"This girl, whether it's her love for Go or her sense of responsibility, is really too strong!"

“…I understand.”

After listening to Jiao Kai's sigh, Lei Qi whispered in agreement.

As the reigning Chinese chess master who has been following his "arch-enemy" for more than three years, he has the best say in what kind of person this "arch-enemy" is.

"Coach Jiao, I...

"I want to talk to her again."

After a short silence, the young Chinese leader slowly said:
"I still understand what kind of person she is."

Although he was a little surprised, Jiao Kai still said seriously:

"Then I'll leave it to you...

"Little Lei the Chess Master." (End of this chapter)
