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

In fact, Lei Qi has always been a little puzzled: In the first game of the three-game celebrity tournament, why did Rui Zhao, who had a flying knife library, insist on playing Ni Dao right from the start?

You know, Ni Dao's opening move will definitely make people more defensive, not to mention that the opponent may also be prepared for Ni Dao's changes.

Now it seems that the reason why Rui Zhao chose Ni Dao as her opening move in the three-game match of the celebrity tournament was probably to be able to save the flying knives in her hand to the maximum extent - after all, once the flying knife library is exposed, the opponent will definitely not play the Ni Dao variation against her anymore.

From this perspective...the flying knife in her hand must be in very, very urgent need!
Otherwise, she would never use such a risky strategy in the celebrity match that she cares most about!
After using up two knives in the three-game match of the celebrity tournament, perhaps they can only be used one or twice more, and Rui Zhao's flying knife library can no longer maintain a relatively reliable chance of continuous use!

If this final goes into the deciding game... there's a good chance we'll win in the end!
Thinking of this, Xiao Lei Jiuduan's tense nerves were temporarily relieved a little.

To be honest, for this three-game final on the highest stage, he sincerely hoped to defeat the famous player Zhaojun and win the championship!

Not to mention that it has been a long year and a half since his last world championship. Just thinking about what his beautiful old rival said to him after the celebrity match, he doesn't want to give in at all!
He desperately wanted to defeat his opponent in the finals to prove that he was indeed the undisputed number one in the world as she said - even if the opponent was the breathtakingly powerful Concubine Zhaojun with a Sword!

Lei Qi even subconsciously felt that this matter was probably a thousand times more important than the LIG Cup championship itself!
...Yes, that's right!
I, I have always regarded her as a strong opponent that I must defeat, and I just simply want to prove my strength!

What nonsense does Liu Shixian talk about every day...

Although it was difficult to express what he was thinking in his heart, Xiao Lei couldn't help but criticize the strongest chess player in South Korea who had just been eliminated by him.

If he didn't have such a strong competitive spirit towards Rui Zhao, how could he have such a strong desire to win?
However, before he could finish complaining in his mind, he heard his phone vibrate slightly - it was a new message on WeChat.

When preparing for battle, Lei Qi always muted most call notifications to avoid being disturbed, but he always kept the notification tone on for some important people.

But when he took out his phone to check, he found that the sender was his opponent in the final!
【Ah, sorry Lei Qi! 】

[Today, I was in the live broadcast room with Brother Zeng and others reviewing the game between you and Liu Jiudan. We reviewed it for so long that I even forgot to congratulate you! ]

[Well, it’s a little late, but congratulations on defeating Liu Jiudan and advancing to the finals! ]

[The promise to meet in the international competition finals has finally been fulfilled! 】

Oh no!
I just saw the WeChat message from my senior and was busy with this matter. I forgot to send her a congratulatory WeChat message!!!

The muscles on Lei Qi's face trembled violently, and then he began to reply to WeChat messages frantically.

As expected, if you stay with a silly girl like her for a long time, you will become silly too! ! !
[Ah, thank you for your success! Congratulations on reaching your first World Championship final! ]

[Your flying knife against Chu Jun today was very beautiful. I am also looking forward to the finals starting tomorrow! ]

After replying to these two WeChat messages, the young chess master stared at the chat page in a daze for a while, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

Obviously... the decisive battle with the opponent is just around the corner...

It is no exaggeration to say that the positions of both parties are tense...

but why……

I feel an irresistible sense of excitement...

The young Chinese leader subconsciously frowned slightly, but at this moment, the phone in his hand vibrated violently - Rui Zhao replied.

Lei Qi quickly looked over, only to see a brief message updated on the screen:

[Yeah! Me too!]

[Although I am a bit short of throwing knives and cannot guarantee that I can use them in every round, I will try my best anyway and enjoy this final! ]

……Eh?

Although Zhaojun's words of blessing were very sincere, Lei Qi's brain froze when he saw the other party's reply.

Uh no!
Although... I have basically figured out the situation!
But you idiot, why don't you say it out loud like this?!

……

Therefore, in the final match, with the common hope of both sides and Lei Qi's unilateral inner madness...

On December 12, the first match of the final three-game match of the 12 LIG Cup World Go Championship will be held...

The war drums have officially been sounded.

...

...

"…Tsk! Monkey!
"What the hell are those nine-dan men?
"They couldn't be called, so we had to come over to help - I have to play in the finals of the Wu Yue Cup in a few days!"

At 12:12 am on December , in a studio of the Hua Xia Chess Academy in Dajing City.

Xiao Xioniao, who was making final preparations before the live broadcast, turned her slightly tired shoulders and complained softly to her husband beside her.

Originally, Liu Yuhong was not needed to come and explain the LIG Cup final this time - just like the last Asian Games men's individual final, the Chess Association had planned to let Fan Zhuo and Song Jin give the main lectures, and then invite a few 9th dan strong men to come as a guest group to assist in the explanation, making the event full of pomp.

But what Shang Chaotian never expected was that the Jiu Duan Fermented Bean Curd artists who had nothing to do recently all said they had something urgent to do, which resulted in the guest group being unable to gather together. In desperation, he invited his own students and Sun Yi, the son-in-law of the family.

Monkey King also felt that something was not right with his peers recently, so he told them his doubts:

"To be honest, I'm a little confused. Logically, it should be easy for four or five people from a dozen or twenty ninth-dan masters to do this! Why are they all so pretentious?

"And for such a crucial match, the guest fees are not low at all, right?"

"Uh... Could it be that she was criticized by the bloody public opinion in China?"

The little bird made a guess with some concern:

"After all, the reputation of the national players is not as good as that of the national football team. Don't let them become like Bai Yinhua and make big news under external stimulation..."

“…Unlikely!”

Sun Yi shook his head and denied:
"Others may not know, but how could we not know Uncle Tuo? He has nothing to do recently, so he just takes care of Xiao Nie. But he always finds excuses to refuse. I really don't understand..."

"What's the reason?" Liu Yuhong frowned slightly:
"It can't be that a bunch of ninth-level players are secretly gathering together to figure out how to target Rui Zhao!"

"That's not the case!"

Sun Wukong shook his head decisively again:
"We male chess players all have to have some dignity! Are we going to resort to such unscrupulous means just because we were beaten by a girl named Rui Zhao in fast chess?
"Collective research on a little girl - won't people laugh their heads off when they hear this?"

Just when Sun Yi denied N times, the director's voice came from their headsets:

"Sun 9th Dan, Liu 8th Dan, the time is almost up, let's get started!"

"Oh, okay!" "Okay."

After making the final preparations, the live broadcast began as the signal was officially connected!
"Hello, everyone. Welcome to watch the first match of the 2026 LIG Cup World Go Championship Finals on time. I am Liu Yuhong, an th dan player from the Women's Go League Su Hu team."

As today's keynote speaker, Liu Yuhong greeted the camera very skillfully, and then introduced her husband beside her - ah, of course she couldn't call him husband in this situation.

"…For today's competition, we are honored to have the world champion Sun Yi, 9th Dan! Welcome everyone!"

"Hello everyone, I am Sun Yi from the Weiqi Suhu Team!"

Sun Yi responded simply and appropriately, appearing to be very graceful and flawless.

Since winning the World Championship and successfully starting a family, the captain of the Su Hu team has completely lost his former recklessness and is now a frequent host of commentary.

Today, when a group of 9th-dan masters took a collective leave, the chess association immediately thought of Sun and Liu to commentate on this crucial game.

"What do you think of today's ultimate showdown between Lei Qi and Rui Zhao, our post-05 twin stars, Sun Yi, ninth dan?"

After a brief opening introduction, Liu Yuhong turned the topic to warming up the audience.

"Without a doubt, this is naturally the highest level match in the world today!"

Sun Yi gave his own high evaluation without hesitation:
"Let's talk about Lei Qi first. He maintained an excellent competitive state throughout the LIG Cup.

"Especially in the semi-finals, when he faced off against Liu Shixian, the leader of the two countries, he suppressed Liu Shixian throughout the whole process, and when the situation was once chaotic at the end, he used straight-line calculations that once surpassed AI to slay the dragon in one fell swoop and secure the victory. It was extremely exciting!
"In terms of pure strength, Pa Leiqi is now the strongest contender for the title of 'the best player in the world'. He deserves the title of standing in the final of this LIG Cup!
“But Rui Zhao…is well prepared for this competition as well!

"Although it is generally believed that Rui Zhao's slow chess skills are slightly inferior to Lei Qi and Liu Shixian, and this time she drew the 'best lot' in every round, even some conservative media abroad are questioning the value of her entry into the finals.

“But veteran chess fans who have followed the three-game match of the celebrity tournament should know that Rui Zhao seems to have done a lot of preparation in the layout phase recently, and some of his tricky layouts are extremely sharp!

"In the third game of the celebrity tournament, it was she who used two flying knives in succession to prevent our current leader from taking the final step in his goal of 'dominating all titles'!
"In this LIG Cup, when the outside world was still speculating whether the two flying knives Rui Zhao used in the three-game match of the celebrity tournament were accidental, in the semi-final against Chu Jun, Rui Zhao used an extremely strong flying knife attack! It only took him 20 minutes of reserve time to cleanly defeat this peer master and advance to the final! It shows that he probably has a rich reserve of flying knives!

“And now she is just one step away from her first world championship, so she will surely give it her all!

"So I think the whole three-game match should be 70-30. Rui Zhao should have the upper hand!"

"Okay, thank you Sun Jiudan for your comments!
"Whether Rui Zhao can use her senior brother's good words to accomplish the feat of becoming a female chess player and winning the unlimited world championship, let us wait and see!"

Seeing her husband finish the warm-up, Liu Yuhong turned the topic to the chess game:

"Now both sides have completed the guessing of the first move. In this game, Rui Zhao plays black and Lei Qi plays white.

"Both sides have already started making their moves, and now we will move on to the game.

"Both sides started the game with more aggressive diagonal small eyes against diagonal stars - Rui Zhao should be hoping to have a more intense layout, while Lei Qi should be trying to avoid entering into a common game and entering into the opponent's pre-game preparation.

"Then the black piece made a big jump to the upper left to defend the corner, the white piece made a small flying move to the upper right, and the black piece made a small sharp move... Then the white piece forced the lower left to defend, which was a relatively cold move!"

"Well, it can be seen that Lei Qi is indeed intentionally using some relatively uncommon layouts to prevent Rui Zhao's pre-match preparations."

Sun Yi simply interjected:
"Then it will depend on whether Rui Zhao can successfully break the impasse under Lei Qi's deliberate precautions..."

"Indeed, let's take a look at the subsequent layout!"

Liu Yuhong continued:

"Rui Zhao felt that it was not mature to respond directly to this move, so he chose to hang in the lower right corner. Lei Qi responded with the simplest single jump.

"After that, Rui Zhao... also pressed the same position as the white pieces on the left! It seemed that he was planning to wait and see how the white pieces on the lower right would shape up before making a decision.

"Lei Qi thought for a while and finally played the second choice of the pointed top. Then when the black piece was extended, the white piece chose the third choice to force the edge star.

"This move is also considered a cold one in a relative sense. It can be seen that Lei Qi Jiudan has put all his energy into avoiding the possible flying knives today!
"But at this time, Rui Zhao chose...

"Da Fei's way of getting off?!"

Seeing this move, Liu Yuhong's tone suddenly became several degrees higher:

"This move is not one of the AI's first three choices, and it doesn't feel like a normal human first instinct - but judging from the result the AI ​​just calculated, it doesn't reduce the winning rate at all!"

"Objectively speaking, this move has the meaning of looking at both sides at the same time - on the one hand, aiming to block the white pieces in the lower right corner, and on the other hand, preparing to attack the white pieces in the star position below."

Sun Yi commented at this time:
"However, this kind of chess is usually very difficult to control. If you are not careful, it will go from 'taking care of both sides' to 'taking care of neither side'.

"But no matter what, this move does have a series of follow-up measures!
"White must clearly know the priorities now and must not allow Black to block them!"

"Well, Sun Jiudan's analysis is very comprehensive."

Liu Yuhong nodded sincerely:

"As expected, Lei Qi chose to move closer, the first choice! It can be seen that the state of our chess master is indeed very... eh?! Wait!

"Although Lei Qi played the first choice of pressure, in the 17th move, Rui Zhao didn't even think about it and immediately played the most intense digging! It was also the first choice!
“Within 20 moves, the game has undergone such a dramatic change in seconds!

"Such a distinct feature, this can't be...

"...Is this a flying knife forged by a famous person in our China?!!!" (End of this chapter)
