“Good afternoon, everyone!
"Welcome to watch the live broadcast of the first World's Strongest Go Player Tournament on the professional tournament channel of [Weiqi Xiaozhao]. I am Ranran!
"Our old friend Zeng Guangwen, 9th Dan, is still live streaming with us today!"

"Hello everyone, this is Zeng Guangwen, the most loyal servant of the Queen!"

At the same time, in a corner of the South Korean Chess Institute, inside the live studio of [Go Xiao Zhao].

Assistant Hua and Zeng Xigou, who had just officially started the live broadcast, greeted everyone as usual.

After introducing the guests, Hua Ran did not forget to say a few more words according to Ai Jianan's instructions:
“Ah, let me tell you something before today’s live broadcast officially begins—our Zhao Miao Cup Winter Tournament will also officially begin today.

“In order to better bring you all-round programs, we have opened a special Zhao Miao Cup channel in our [Go Xiao Zhao] live broadcast room.

“The relevant programs of Zhao Miao Cup and the surrounding contents of this Zhao Miao Cup Winter Games will be broadcast live there.

"For those who want to know more about the on-stage and behind-the-scenes stories of our lovely new generation of chess players participating in the Zhao Miao Cup, please follow us!
"Now you can even customize and purchase the official peripherals of the young players!"

After introducing the new channel opened specifically for the Zhao Miao Cup, Hua Ran immediately got to the point:
"Okay, let's get back to today's game.

"The prize money for the World's Strongest Chess Player Championship this year is as high as 800 million won. From the perspective of prize money, this is undoubtedly the first chess championship in history, and it is indeed attracting everyone's attention.

"In the first round, the head-on clash between Rui Zhaojie and Liu Shixian, two of the top three players in the world, was undoubtedly the focus of the focus.

"I wonder what you think of today's game, Brother Zeng?"

"How else can you watch it? Just shut up and watch it!

"Ever since the LIG Cup almost killed the queen, I can only watch and not speak..."

Zeng Guangwen smiled bitterly with a hint of self-mockery:
"It's a good thing that the Queen was really good in the last game of the LIG Cup. She pulled me back from the brink of being physically evaporated by all the die-hard fans. Otherwise, I think I would have to buy myself a few personal accident insurance policies before I dared to travel back to China..."

"Well, not really..."

Hua Ran smiled bitterly and said:
"Don't be so confident. We still need your professional explanation, Brother Zeng."

"Well, then I'll throw out some ideas!"

After the near-fatal accident in the last LIG Cup where he almost killed his master, Comrade Xigou now doesn't dare to act too aggressively like before.

You might earn less if you don't do the work, but at least your life won't be in danger.

“…Objectively speaking, both sides have the possibility of winning.

"As we all know, the faster the Queen plays, the stronger she is. She is unrivalled in blitz chess, but she may not be strong enough to beat Liu Lei and the others in slow chess.

"The last time the Queen played against Liu Shixian was in the Miao Family Bailing Cup in September and the Asian Games in October. In the semi-finals of the Miao Family Bailing Cup, the Queen lost 0-2. In the men's individual final of the Asian Games, the Queen won the famous game of Panlongyan in the rapid chess competition, which was also a revenge for being eliminated by Liu Shixian in three consecutive world championships...

"It just so happens that the format of the strongest chess player competition is neither fast nor slow, and it happens to be the format that South Korea is most accustomed to. It is really hard to predict the result based on the situation before the game..."

"Ah, it looks like today's game is very suspenseful!"

Hua Ran took over the conversation skillfully and said:

"Okay, the scene has just finished guessing the first move and is ready to start the game.

"In this game, Liu Shixian, 9th Dan, plays black, and Rui Zhaojie plays white. Now let's get into the game.

"Both sides started with a small star against two consecutive stars. Then the black piece made a small flying move to the upper right corner to defend it, and the white piece made a small move to make up for it. Then the black piece chose to move to the lower left corner.

"Sister Rui Zhao chose to move from the right side. Then the black piece will grow. After the white piece flies, the black piece will follow... Eh?

"Black chess is here?!

“Oh my god… this is Ni Dao’s opening move!!!

"After only eleven moves, Liu Shixian showed his willingness to play Ni Dao against Sister Rui Zhao!

"The next step is to see whether Sister Rui Zhao will take up the challenge..."

"Uh, no..."

Seeing that something was not right, Zeng Guangwen on the side hurriedly took over the conversation and said:

"Queen, you can't agree to this, right? You can't agree to anything I say, right?!
"Don't forget that in the first round of the celebrity match, you were caught off guard by Xiao Lei's Ni Dao..."

However, before the words were finished, Roaring Sky Dog's master quickly made his position clear:

In the 12th move, White directly took down the chess piece and accepted the opponent's Ni Dao invitation!
As soon as this move was made, Zeng Guangwen's wailing instantly resounded throughout the live broadcast room:

"Oh my god!
"Diva, have you forgotten the first round of the celebrity match?!

"Why are you still bringing Ni Dao with you!!!"

...

...

"...The Ni Dao move in the lower left corner was played out quickly. When the black piece was holding on, the white piece chose to break the attack.

"The next move by Black is inevitable.
"White pieces cut, black pieces turn, white pieces attack, black pieces grow, white pieces climb, this is all the same!

"After the black piece followed suit, in just one minute, both sides had already made 29 moves. Now both sides' retention time is more than 66 minutes..."

……

"Well, now I understand a little bit...

"Liu Shixian chose Ni Dao, he really came prepared!"

At 12:31 pm China Time, at Yang Manjing's home in Zhenze City, Suzhou Province.

While the female host Song Jin was leisurely explaining the current changes in the chess game in the official live broadcast, Chu Jun's voice came from the microphone: "... On the one hand, although Rui Zhao's flying knife library seems to be temporarily out of stock, the possibility of using flying knives cannot be ruled out. Choosing the Ni Dao variation that both sides are more prepared for is an opportunity to narrow the potential gap in flying knives.

"In addition, Ni Dao's moves before several key branches are also considered to be extremely large and complex. The faster moves in the early stages will help to extend the overall time for the second-by-second system..."

"Woo! You have to be so fast with your mouth!

"I was just about to say it, but you beat me to it!"

Hearing Chu Jun snatching the words that were about to come out of her mouth, the little witch who was preparing for the Queen's Game at home recently complained a little:

"...Indeed! Judging from the previous three-game match of the celebrity tournament and the LIG Cup final, although Rui Zhao's current reserve of flying knives cannot support her stable use of the knife, it is indeed not surprising to suddenly use it at any time.

"This World's Strongest Chess Player Competition is the key to whether Liu Shixian can truly compete for the GOAT, so we must not be careless at all.

"Instead of being killed instantly by her using a flying knife, using the Ni Dao variation might be a good way to narrow the gap in pre-match preparation between the two sides.

"As for the Ni Dao variation under the second-by-second system, it can be used to gain time by making quick moves in the early stages. When dealing with Rui Zhao, time is indeed an extremely important weapon.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid no one in the world can compete with her in terms of the quality of her moves in the countdown!"

"Uh... Indeed!"

Seeing that his nominal girlfriend was not happy, Chu Jun on the other end of the microphone quickly apologized:
“Well, that…

"I can't really sense the atmosphere without you in front of me, sorry..."

I, I was just saying that casually...

Hearing what the other party said, Yang Manjing couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

And... isn't it obvious that my request is a bit unreasonable?

He doesn't need to overreact...

Well……

Recently, the little witch always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her comrade-in-arms.

Originally, when she showed some temper to Chu Jun, he would talk back or resist immediately. However, recently, he has become more and more delicate and easy to be pushed down. He would apologize honestly if she was bullied casually. This made Miss Witch feel a little uncomfortable and her feeling in her heart became more and more subtle.

This……

Is this what adults call ambiguity? ! !
Thinking of this slightly immoral word, Queen Mulan, who had never been in love since childhood, couldn't help but blush.

At this moment, the second half of Chu Jun's apology came over:
"Should we turn on the camera?
"It's better for me this way..."

"You're going to die, little glasses!"

At this moment, there was no way to explain the blush on her face:
"I've told you long ago not to try to take advantage of me or push my luck!
"What's your intention in suddenly asking to turn on the camera?"

"Oh no! I don't have any improper thoughts!"

Xiao Chu Jiudan quickly explained:
"I'm not just afraid of not being able to respond properly... I definitely don't have any weird thoughts!"

call……

Seeing the other party hastily retreating, the witch breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately had other worries in her mind:

Uh...it's broken!
Could it be that after I scared him, he wouldn't dare to take any further action? !
It’s not that I can’t turn on the camera, but I just can’t choose this exact time…

Well...either...

Should I come back and find a reason later?

Just as Yang Manjing was struggling with his calculations, Chu Jun on the other side seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too awkward and quickly brought the topic back to the chess game:

"No, but...the Ni Dao on both sides are really skilled in archery and horsemanship.

"Just now in the 30th move, Rui Zhao did not choose the first option of climbing, but chose the second option of top, and the result was that both sides continued to move very fast!

“It’s been 40 moves so far, and both sides are making a choice in seconds! I wonder if the two sides will be evenly matched until the end... Eh?

"Liu Shixian has changed his tactics again!"

At this point, Chu Jun's tone suddenly rose:
"Here, the black chess piece makes a turn, allowing the white chess piece to capture the three pieces in the middle.

"But here Liu Shixian continues to grow the middle part, not allowing White to easily take it!"

"Well... this is also normal..."

Seeing her comrades re-engaged in the game, Queen Mulan also immediately got back into the game:
"If we play the first option here, Black will gain a lot.

"But giving Rui Zhao, the world's most powerful person, such a strong external force so early in her life would be extremely beneficial to her in exerting her power. It's not surprising that she would make such a choice..."

"Is that so? That does make sense..."

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Jun agreed:
"It all depends on whether Rui Zhao is prepared for this change... Eh?!
"Rui Zhao chose to suppress so quickly?!"

In less than half a minute, Xiao Chu Jiudan's voice suddenly rose again:
"Ah, this, this, this...

"If she's not prepared, she can think about it carefully! There's still plenty of time!
"You know, this move...

“It’s not among the three choices of AI!!!”
