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

"Hello Rui Zhao 9th Dan, thank you for accepting our interview!

"Congratulations on your brilliant performance against Park Min-yeol in the second round of the group round-robin tournament. You have won two consecutive games in the group round-robin tournament!

"Just like the game against Ueno Touichiro this morning, you also gained a huge advantage in a small part of the layout.

"Park Min-yeol 37th ​​Dan was clearly not prepared for your th move of four-way support in the lower right. He forced the digging and filling to not only give away the black chess's eye position on the right, but also allowed the black chess to capture the white chess piece in the lower right at any time to connect the two pieces. In less than moves, the winning rate was only in the single digits.

"The gap between the two sides continued to widen, and Park Min-yeol had to play the big dragon to win. But when the opportunity to kill the dragon appeared, you directly used a five-minute long thinking to end the game. Then, every move was precise, and you killed the dragon directly. The 70-point victory was a hearty victory!
"In the morning, I played the big dragon and made Ueno 9th dan run around in circles. In the afternoon, I killed the giant snake and then the ground park 9th dan. How do you evaluate today's two victories?"

"Well... Actually, I don't think I played that well. The key point is that Ueno and Park seemed a little weak - Ueno seemed to play a little perfunctorily today.

"If possible, I really hope that both of you can become stronger. Otherwise it won't be interesting enough..."

“Is that so?

"But the outside world generally believes that, apart from you, Park Min-yeol 9th ​​dan and Ueno Touichiro 9th dan are already the two strongest players in Group B!
"After beating them both, many people in the industry now think that you have already secured first place in Group B."

"But they are definitely not strong enough! Otherwise, they wouldn't have finished the game in less than 50 moves...

"I originally thought that the young players of the two countries were not well trained, but now it seems that Ueno and Park also need to work harder!"

"...

"…Rui Zhao, why don't we talk more about ourselves?
"If we continue to talk like this, it will be difficult to broadcast this interview..."

"what?

"Y-really?"

……

"Ah... No wonder Min Yeol is still depressed in his room after watching this...

"This is indeed quite lethal!"

9pm on September 27, Zhongjing Asian Games Village.

Liu Shixian, who was in Li Tingyan's room, watched the unedited post-match interview video shot by European and American media that Big Brother had just forwarded to him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head:

"That's how I know she is. Otherwise, I really can't stand hearing this..."

"It's hard to bear knowing that!"

Li Tingyan's expression was full of helplessness:

"It's true that Ueno was just playing badly in the morning game. I guess he was prepared to lose. But in the afternoon, Min Lie really wanted to win!

"In fact, he had several opportunities to deal with the big dragon in the middle game, but in this game, one more move would mean complete euthanasia. In the end, when this Chinese dragon sister showed her dragon-slaying sword, everything was over..."

"So, we can't say Ueno is a coward or anything like that."

Liu Shixian shrugged slightly:

"There is a Chinese saying that goes 'He who knows the current situation is a hero.'

"It seems that... maybe he sees things more clearly than us!"

At this point, Young Master Liu paused, and then said with some emotion:

“It’s just… even if they don’t achieve good results in international competitions, the prize money and match fees in domestic competitions are generous enough.

"We can't be as cowardly as them!"

Hearing that Liu Shixian's words seemed to have a different meaning, Li Tingyan was slightly startled, and then changed the subject as if nothing had happened:
"Okay, Xiao Liu! You don't have to worry too much about Min Lie!
"His emotions are like his chess skills, they come and go quickly. The two opponents tomorrow are not strong either, so there won't be any problems.

"As for you, congratulations on defeating Orekiho and Ichijo Takuya today! It looks like you're definitely going to be the top of the group!"

"Ah... that's not the case."

Although he knew that Li Tingyan was just cheering him up, Liu Shixian still said truthfully in a humble tone:

"Whether or not we can qualify as the group leader, in the end...

"It's just the chess game tomorrow afternoon."

...

...

"Lei Qi, congratulations on your three consecutive wins in the group round-robin tournament!"

The time came to 9:28 am on September th, in the players' rest area of ​​Zhongjing International Conference Center.

Shang Chaotian, who came for something, came to the students who had just finished the morning competition and started the conversation with a congratulatory sentence:
"Since you came to the Asian Games, you have been in great shape and have won all the victories without any surprises so far!
"You are truly worthy of being the new generation leader of China!"

"Ah, you're too kind, Mr. Shang! After all, I didn't encounter any strong enemies."

Lei Qi smiled modestly and said:
“For example, my first three victories were against Singapore’s Chen Weiming, Thailand’s Somchai Boonma and Zhuhai’s Chen Jiahui, which is really not something to brag about!
"This performance... may not be better than that of Takuya Ichijo who lost to Liu Shixian and Xu Lifan in a row!

"The key is to look at the games this afternoon and tomorrow!" "Ah... that's true."

Seeing that Lei Qi was speaking sincerely, Shang Chaotian followed his student's words and answered first.

Just as Lei Qi said: Although he, Liu Shixian and Rui Zhao all have three wins and no losses and are ranked first in the group, the quality of the opponents they face is incomparable.

At this time, Liu Shixian had already finished playing against two powerful players, Takuya and Xu Lifan, and his achievements were truly worthy of the name. Rui Zhao easily defeated Qu Jundu this morning, and the remaining three games were all minor defeats.

Lei Qi played against chess players from the Pan-Asian region in his first three games. It is not an exaggeration to say that his results may not be better than those of Xu Xianren, who had two wins and one loss, and Xiao Tuzizi, who had one win and two losses.

However, Shang Chaotian was naturally aware of the situation, and his congratulations just now were nothing more than to open up a conversation.

"You don't have to be so modest!

"I think with your strength this time, you have a good chance of qualifying as the group leader! Just prepare well!"

After saying some polite words, Shang Chaotian said carefully:

"Besides, after all, the group stage is just a test. Even if you don't qualify as the first place, you still have a chance to meet Rui Zhao in the finals!

"Like in the last Qiantang Asian Games, didn't Xu Lifan only get third place in the group, but eventually won the championship?! So just relax in the next game!"

Shang Chaotian expressed his meaning as tactfully as possible, while carefully observing the students' expressions.

As for when to tell students some things, he had actually been thinking about it since the night before. In the end, he felt that it would be more appropriate to lay the groundwork now, so as to avoid having to wait until the students lost the game before directly mentioning it, which would rub salt into the students' wounds.

He also spoke very tactfully, and if he found something was wrong, he could always smooth it over.

Compared to three years ago, Shang Chaotian is now much more careful about some details.

Lei Qi just blinked twice after hearing this seemingly harmless encouragement. He seemed a little surprised, but mostly it was just like usual...

"Don't worry! I understand this. I've experienced many wins and losses in competitions."

The reigning Chinese chess master smiled and replied:
"Teacher Shang, there is something...

"I may have to report to you as well."

"…Do you have something to report?"

Shang Chaotian, who was observing the student's expression, was a little surprised by Lei Qi's reaction:

"Just tell me if you have something to say!

"I am the president of the association and also your teacher. You can talk to me about anything, whether public or private."

"Okay, thank you for understanding!"

Lei Qi said in a very logical manner:
"Teacher Shang, it's like this: I will definitely do my best to win the afternoon match! I will strive to qualify as the top of the group with Rui Zhao and win glory for our country!
"But if I lose this afternoon's game...I may not go all out to win every game the day after tomorrow. Please understand!"

This time, the one who unexpectedly turned out to be Shang Chaotian!

Hearing Lei Qi take the initiative to make the point clear, King Shang Qi was slightly stunned, but then he completely understood that what the student was talking about was what he was thinking about, and then patted the student on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"I understand! I have no reason not to agree!

"You...have really grown up!"

“You’re so kind!

"I think any chess player in this position would understand, right?"

“Uh… not really.

"If this were Rui Zhao, I think he would be looking very aggrieved right now, and I would be having a real headache!"

“Not really!

"If I switch with her, I don't have to fight for first place in Group B."

"…Huh? Ah! Indeed!
"I'm getting old and confused!"

...

...

At 9:28 p.m. local time on September , the most focused match of the fourth round of the Group A round-robin match was officially held at the Zhongjing International Conference Center.

The two teams are...

【Lei Qi】

And
