[Hey! I saw a bunch of old-fashioned people complaining about Rui Zhao losing a game of chess. Who said women can't do it? ]

【Didn't Rui Zhao return the favor today with a perfect victory?】

[I've said it before, those rednecks are uneducated barbarians, they just have a (beep) that makes them think they should be able to bully women! Judging from the situation in this Chinese celebrity competition, it's true! ]

[That’s right! The arbitration result of the Olympic Council of Asia clearly stated that it was “limited to the field of fast chess similar to the Asian Games competition system”, but a bunch of stinky men insisted on using slow chess as an excuse! ]

[But Rui Zhao is awesome! Even if it's a slow game, it's enough to slap the faces of you sexist people! ]

[Yes! There are even a bunch of people who spread rumors that Rui Zhao Jiudan's [Celebrity] title was obtained through improper means. It's outrageous! ]

[What? You can't even say a word now?! Don't those rednecks love to say "it's the truth"? Why don't you quote the truth now?!]

[Hey, my friend, what do you mean by "Nine Dan"? Is it a title? ]

[Ah, this is a respectful title for professional Go players, similar to the black belt in judo. Jiudan is the highest rank in the professional system! ]

【Go is a sport that uses the simplest rules to create the most complex changes. This is a kind of romance with great beauty! 】

[People in East Asia often compare the Go board to the vast space in the universe, and the black and white pieces to the stars in the sky, to highlight its profoundness! ]

[In China, Japan, and South Korea, Go is recognized as the pinnacle of wisdom and a highly admired sport. Generally, people who can play Go are highly regarded in society. Therefore, professional Go players have their own exclusive honorific titles! ]

[Wow! Is it that cool?!]

[Not only that! The "Zhao Tianhou Japanese Support Association" in Japan also told me that Rui Zhao is not only a ninth dan, but also the holder of China's unlimited title [Celebrity] and the first female title [Zhaojun]! ]

[“Celebrity” in East Asia means “one who has made outstanding achievements”, and “Zhaojun” is a peerless beauty in ancient China who was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Both are extremely high praises! ]

【Therefore, we can also call her "Rui Zhaoming" or "Rui Zhaozhaojun". 】

[Wow! This sounds so hardcore! It has the dignity that a strong person should have! ]

[Um, I’m a Go reporter from China, I need to correct something for everyone.]

[There is nothing wrong with the title "Rui Zhaoming Mingren", but the title "Rui Zhaozhao Jun" is not quite appropriate. ]

[Although Wang Zhaojun is a famous figure in China, all Chinese and even East Asian chess fans know that the title "Zhaojun" was originally given by the sponsor specifically for Rui Zhao, who currently holds the title! It can almost be called Rui Zhao's exclusive title! ]

[It is even said that the "Zhao" in the Go title "Zhaojun" comes from Rui Zhao's name, meaning "a female ruler named Zhao".]

[So calling her "Rui Zhao Zhao Jun" is like calling Japan's Honinbo Shuce "Honinbo Honinbo", which is not appropriate. ]

[If you must call her "Zhaojun", you can consider calling her "Zhaojun" (Queen Zhao) directly. Xu Lifan of the Taiwan Strait Province of China once publicly called her "Miss Queen Zhao". ]

[Holy moly! This is getting cooler and cooler! ]

[This is really a very interesting sport. I really want to learn more about the culture behind it! ]

"this……

“These foreigners are actually starting to know titles?!
“Even the mystery behind the title of [Zhaojun] is being popularized?!

"Is my eyes blurry?"

On November 11, the final match of the three-game match of this celebrity tournament was held at 25: pm in the VIP viewing room of the Grand Blue Sky Hotel.

At this time, Shang Chaotian, chairman of the Chinese Chess Association, was looking at a comment post on the Yiguo Forum that Lu Wenjie had just forwarded, his eyes full of shock.

Although he knew that Rui Zhao had become a top figure in online public opinion recently due to the shock wave of the Asian Games arbitration incident, he never expected it to reach this point!

Especially according to this post on Yigu: The recent celebrity three-game tournament has provided a lot of ammunition for both sides of the debate, further increasing the discussion.

Right now, liberals and conservatives are fighting everywhere! Countless eyes are watching this crucial third set of the Masters Tournament. Once the facts are in their favor, they will immediately take out their keyboards and blast the other side's brains out!
Seeing his boss's shocked expression, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but smile bitterly:
“No way, Brother Tian: I said it before, the key to this matter is that it is too groundbreaking!
"In the West, the public has long been desensitized to the politically correct statement that 'women are no weaker than men'. Even though Rui Zhao's gold medal in the men's event caused a sensation, the subsequent influence is probably limited.

"But the Asian Games officially agreed that 'women may have a physiological advantage over men in Go fast chess'. This is really a big news! No wonder some people in the Olympic Council of Asia want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain reputation!" Originally, a group of liberals abroad are famous for their love of attracting attention and being prominent. After receiving this news, they were even more excited. They repeatedly output high-intensity public opinion and even used this as an excuse to say 'although women are not as good as men physically, they may be more intelligent than men' in order to gain the right to speak.

"As for conservatives, they are dismissive and sneer at some of the politically correct statements of liberals, emphasizing the principle of 'you say yours, I roll my eyes at mine'.

"But this incident really broke through their bottom line! It directly caused a thousand ripples, and all the conservatives started to fight back!
"In their view, it is already remarkable that women are not significantly weaker than men in some events due to physiological factors, but the fact that men dominate society as a whole cannot be shaken.

"As a result, some people actually used Rui Zhao to spread the idea that 'men may not be as intelligent as women'. How can we tolerate this?

"But when they started arguing, they realized that their most relied-upon method of 'fighting back with facts' had failed - Rui Zhao not only defeated Liu Shixian head-on to win the men's individual gold medal at the Asian Games, but his 72-game winning streak on the fast chess table was twice as long as the highest record for male players! He put all the male chess players since the World Championships on the ground!
"This has resulted in a 'dwarfing of opinions', with one side talking about 'political correctness' and the other demanding 'speaking with facts', turning into a direct contest of factual evidence! The focus of the confrontation is on the authenticity and value of Rui Zhao's results!

"So both sides of the Internet are frantically trying to learn about Go and dig up evidence in the hope of defeating the other side in public opinion. The Masters Tournament, a domestic competition, attracted a large number of European and American reporters to report on it. If you don't know, you would think the Olympics have begun in Pengze!"

"Hmm... No wonder the senior leaders of Yuewan Province are coming here to present the awards!"

Shang Chaotian shook his head and smiled bitterly:

“So the international presence is here!”

"We can't help it. The attention this time to the celebrity match is just too outrageous!"

Lu Wenjie sighed softly upon hearing this:

“In the past, a lot of our external publicity was completely confined to our own circle, and we tried hard to find recognition from foreigners.

"But whether others agree or not is entirely up to them. No matter how much we emphasize 'cultural confidence', the fact that we are being humiliated by others cannot be changed.

"Like the movie Nezha: The Devil Child Conquers the Dragon King in early 25, it achieved a staggering box office success almost entirely in a single market, but if people don't agree with it, it has no value at all and it didn't make any waves internationally!
“Although the Intangible Cultural Heritage Princess has made some achievements, it is ultimately very much about acting and it is difficult for her to rise to a very high level.

"But this time, Rui Zhao really hit the sensitive spot of Europe and America! It can even be said that we have never seen European and American media report on our domestic figures with such enthusiasm!

"It would be strange if we didn't take advantage of this opportunity to do something!"

"…Hey! I've said it before!"

Shang Chaotian pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows towards his deputy, and whispered:

"Some leaders even hinted to me whether I could persuade Xiao Lei to lose the game on purpose..."

"what?"

Hearing this, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but be shocked:
"That day, brother, you..."

"Of course I am playing dumb."

Shang Chaotian breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It is a great happiness for Go players to see two young players compete against each other at such a high level. How can I cause trouble for them?
"Alright, Wen Jie, Xiao Tang, Zou Yang and the others are ready to start their lecture. Let's watch the competition first!"

Just as Shang Chaotian said, in the live broadcast, Rui Zhao and Lei Qi had already completed the guessing process - the final game was decided by Rui Zhao playing black and Lei Qi playing white. And the game was about to begin.

However, despite the slight disadvantage in guessing the first move, the contemporary Zhaojun in the live broadcast still did not feel any regret for the result of guessing the first move. Instead, she was full of positive feelings, as if she could not wait to show her skills in this crucial game today!
A few dozen seconds later, as the referee on the live broadcast screen officially announced the start of the game, today's VIP room speakers Tang Guansheng and Zou Yang also greeted the guests and began to formally explain the game.

“…Dear leaders and guests, the game has now officially begun!
"Today's final game is between Rui Zhao and Lei Qi! Let's get started..."

"At the beginning, both sides started with... eh?"

Just like the little bird who was explaining chess in the official live broadcast room during the first game, the little sheep who was explaining chess in the VIP room today also failed to finish his first sentence smoothly!

As for the reason...it was naturally because her junior sister had caused some trouble since the first round!

"Rui Zhao...

"The first move was actually placed directly on 33??!" (End of this chapter)
