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

After Liu Shixian finished speaking, a slightly strange atmosphere filled the box.

After South Korea's number one player made a statement that was enough to shock the entire world chess community, Choi Myung-ho did not say anything, but his expression kept changing.

From the initial shock, to confusion, to thoughtfulness, and finally...

...is a long sigh of helplessness.

However, although he had roughly guessed what the junior meant, Choi Myung-ho still asked half-confirmingly:

"Really... is it that serious?

"She only won one championship."

"…Yeah, but she's obviously still making rapid progress."

Liu Shixian nodded, and then explained very calmly:

“Senior Choi, the two longest consecutive wins in the Nongshim Cup are the 17-game winning streak and the 14-game winning streak created by you and me.

"I believe you must have had this feeling to some extent: as long as you give your all, no one else can win the championship in the event you care about most - no matter how many people they seem to have and how strong they are. Right?"

"……Um."

Choi Myung-ho nodded without any change in expression, but there seemed to be ripples in his eyes.

After Liu Shixian nodded slightly in response, he continued:
"To be honest, I am the same - in fact, I even chose the path of professional Go without hesitation, a big part of the reason was that I was intoxicated by the romance you created.

“Humans are social animals. In theory, all great achievements of mankind are inseparable from division of labor and cooperation. Therefore, politics has always been considered the most important social science, without a doubt.

"In the face of the great power of the group, the power of an individual seems so small and so humble. But Go...

“…but it is an exception.”

At this point, Liu Shixian looked directly at the best player in history in front of him - he was very sure that the other party could definitely understand what he meant.

"…This is a highly individualistic heroic project. On the chessboard, one person guarding the pass can stop ten thousand men from breaking through!

"It's obvious that both China and Japan can capture our capital in one fell swoop on the battlefield. It's obvious that in front of them, we are just uncivilized barbarians huddled on the peninsula, but...

"No matter how vast their territory is or how long their history is, as long as I am strong enough, they will be blocked from winning the championship again and again. As long as I am still on the field, they will be worried even if they don't lose a single game! This feeling...

“It’s really awesome, isn’t it?”

"……Um."

Choi Myung-ho nodded again in response to the slightly excited and pleased looks from his juniors.

After receiving the senior's reply, Liu Shixian also controlled his emotions and said slowly:
"Although my motives may be a little impure, I think compared to most chess players, you and I are already very focused.

"But... the God of Go will ultimately favor the most extreme purity.

“Even for you and me, it’s so difficult for other chess players to beat us in the Nongshim Cup, which is the most important event for us…

"When she continues to improve and gives her all in all the Go games she loves, we can imagine what the scene will be like..."

After these words were spoken, the box fell into silence again.

Cui Minghao crossed his fingers in front of him, and after a long silence, he added one more sentence:
"Even if...she's a girl?"

"Ah."

After giving a clear answer, Liu Shixian gave another explanation.

“While I also believe that there is an objective talent gap between the sexes, this gap…

"I think the talent gap between me and Lin Ruixin is much smaller."

"Is this so...

"Then I understand."

Cui Minghao pursed his lips and accepted the junior's words with a calm expression, but his deep helplessness could still be seen from his drooping eyebrows.

But just when the usually taciturn history best was at a loss as to how to continue the topic, he heard the junior who had been speaking quite seriously suddenly laugh:
"...Hey, hey...but don't be so relieved!

"Although I do feel this way, my plan to surpass you and become the best in history has not changed!"

"...Hmm?" Cui Minghao was a little slow to react, but he saw the junior opposite him raised his eyebrows at him and said with a smile:

“Feelings are feelings, actions are actions.

"After you lost to Lei Jingming 2008th Dan in the Sanshuang Cup, didn't you still work hard to reach the finals?
"I can't fall behind the example!"

"Uh... don't give such a bad example..."

Cui Minghao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this:
"I haven't won the World Championship since then!"

"But when South Korean Go needed you, didn't you stand up?"

The young master of the Liu family immediately took over the conversation, which made Cui Minghao slightly stunned again.

Seeing that the other party seemed a little puzzled, Liu Shixian smiled and said:

"You know what? In fact, the things I admire most about you have been changing over the years...

"When I was young, I thought that you won your first world championship at the age of 16. You are a young talent who made a big splash! It is really enviable!

"After I finally won the World Championship, I thought again, you won four consecutive World Championships in just one year, and you are the best in the world! It is really amazing!

“In the past few years, my performance has been getting better and better, and I feel that simply achieving good results in the World Championships is not romantic enough.

"Only by doing something like your 'Great Victory on the Dongjiang River', you can turn the tide and save the country from collapse, and make the outstanding talents of the time speechless one after another! This is a truly refreshing feat!

"But now...

"I suddenly realized that the person who is most worthy of admiration is actually you in 2010."

"…2010?"

Hearing this answer, Cui Minghao was a little surprised, and then asked in confusion:

"At that time, I was already 35 years old and looked very old!
"I remember that in the 09 Spring Orchid Cup, I lost 0-2 to Shang Chaotian, and then in the Fuji Cup, I lost to Shen Qingrun. In the beginning of 2010, in the Sanshuang Cup, I lost to Fan Zhuo again.

"Three World Championship finals... but I didn't even win a single game!"

"...Yes, your performance in the World Championships was not ideal."

Liu Shixian followed the other party's words without hesitation and said:

"But you still won consecutive victories over Shan Gang, Lu Wenjie and Shang Chaotian in the Nongshim Cup in the absence of senior Choi Sung-seok, and also defeated Lu Wenjie in the men's team final of the Guangzhou Asian Games.

"Although you didn't get any good news in the individual competitions and were even obviously lacking in strength, in the twilight of your career, you still defended another Nongshim Cup for our South Korean Go team and won the precious first Asian Games men's team gold medal.

“I now realize that this may be more difficult to do and more admirable than being at the top of your game.

"so……"

At this point, Liu Shixian raised his tone, which seemed to have begun to become heavy, and then, in his most energetic state, he said very solemnly to his respected predecessor:
"...Please convey this to Chairman Liang.

“Although I don’t think it’s easy to beat the fast chess Athena in the world’s strongest chess player competition. But no matter what, I will do my best to become the best in history…

"…until she keeps improving and surpasses everything!"

...

...

"……What?!
"Sir, you said Rui Zhao has made great progress recently???"

At the same time, in Gezhou City, China, at the training base of the Gezhou team.

After hearing the official's small guess, the leader of the fermented bean curd group... no, the encirclement network discussion meeting, Bian Da, exclaimed:

"seriously?!"

"Uh……"

After organizing his words again, Shangguan Sheng's slightly hoarse voice came out from the loudspeaker again:

“Although I’m not sure, have you noticed recently:

"Since the game 'Death Comes' in the LIG Cup, Rui Zhao hasn't slayed a dragon for a long time?" (End of this chapter)
