At three o'clock in the afternoon, the overall situation came to the 187th move, which was also the last move of the chess game. After this move, Yu Xiaoyang decisively surrendered.
When two white stones appeared on the broadcast screen, all broadcast rooms around the world fell silent.
Although everyone had expected the outcome, they were still a little unbelievable when the result came.
Yu Xiaoyang, recognized as the top Go player, lost like this?
Not to mention these practitioners, even the audience sitting in front of the TV found it difficult to accept.
Battle room.
Although Yu Xiaoyang lost, his mood was not as sad as he imagined.
In this game of chess, he did not lose unfairly.
Looking at the overall situation, although his initial bet was not good, it was not bad either. What really made him passive was the 'dig' move.
After that, he was almost forced to go up Liangshan, step by step, step by step, even if his condition improved in the afternoon and he tried his best, he still couldn't reverse the decline.
Black pursued and fought hard all the way, and the gap between the two sides gradually changed from one eye, to two, three, four, and finally reached an astonishing more than twenty eyes.
In fact, as early as when the gap was getting bigger and bigger, Yu Xiaoyang realized that White's chess was already helpless.
The last twenty or so moves were just his last struggle. After his hair was straightened, he decisively surrendered.
"This game of chess was played very well. I'm looking forward to our next match."
Facing Yu Xiaoyang's praise, Li Jie bowed slightly.
"Concession."
Yu Xiaoyang nodded slightly, then stood up and walked out of the room.
"Mr. Duke, please follow me."
Seeing Li Jie also getting up and preparing to leave, the staff on the side bowed slightly and made a guiding gesture.
"Thanks."
Li Jie thanked him in a low voice. He and Yu Xiaoyang were not walking on the same road. The direction Yu Xiaoyang went to was the lounge, while the place he went to was the media interview room.
Following the footsteps of the staff, Li Jie came to the interview area nearby. Looking around, the audience was filled with human heads.
At this time, the media practitioners in the audience were already eager to be fed and couldn't wait to interview this newly minted world champion.
And he is the youngest world champion ever!
The organizer's staff also knew the media's irritability, and after a brief speech, the stage was given to the rightful owner.
After a fierce competition, the well-known Chinese media Go Weekly won the right to ask questions in the first round.
"Hello Duke, I am Yang Guohua, a reporter from Go Weekly. I would like to congratulate you on becoming the youngest champion in the history of the Samsung Cup."
"Excuse me, how are you feeling at the moment?"
After all, it was a domestic media, and Yang Guohua did not cause any trouble. His questions were very routine.
"not bad."
Li Jie replied in a calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and many familiar reporters whispered among themselves, discussing Li Jie's answer just now.
"Xiao Lin-sang, this... this child's mood is too calm, isn't it?"
"Yes, Dusan doesn't act like a child."
"Axi, this kid is too arrogant!"
"Axi, yes, this kid's expression seems to say that winning the championship is like picking something out of a bag for him."
"Holy shit, Xiao Du is so cool, his expression is so calm."
"Haha, that's not true. What is this called? This is called being unfazed by honor and disgrace! This is the style of a general!"
On the other side, when Yang Guohua heard this answer, he was both pleased and regretful. He was gratified that another young genius was rising.
Unfortunately, Li Jie's answer was too bland and had no explosive points.
“Next reporter please!”
Another reporter was given the right to interview, and this time the reporter who was given the right to ask questions was from the Bangzi country media. This guy was very aggressive, and at first glance, he was not a good person.
"Duke player, I noticed that your reaction just now was very dull. Can I understand that winning the Samsung Cup is no challenge to you at all?"
As expected, this guy wanted to make big news as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sorry, I refuse to answer."
Faced with such a troublemaker, Li Jie would certainly not give him a good look, especially since this guy was from Bangzi.
To be honest, this country disgusts him, and he will never come to this place that they boast as the "center of the universe" again.
In addition, if there is a chance in the future, he would not mind erasing this disgusting country from its roots in the dungeon.
"you!"
Da Bangzi obviously did not expect that Li Jie would refuse to answer.
In front of everyone, the other party humiliated him so much. The key is that he can't get angry.
This is simply too much!
Da Bangzi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his breathing became much faster.
Seeing that the compatriot's face was red with anger, the organizer's staff felt quite unhappy, but he was just a 'tool man' and could not help the compatriot in the audience at all, so he had to continue to perform his duties.
"The next reporter please."
For the next fifteen minutes, Li Jie answered reporters' questions one after another without expression.
Some of these questions are very routine, while others are obviously aimed at causing trouble.
However, no matter what mentality they have, they are destined to be disappointed. Li Jie, a veteran, will not leave any chance to them.
After the interview ended, Li Jie returned to the lounge backstage under the guidance of the staff.
However, not long after he sat down, a hearty laugh came from the door.
"Haha, Xiao Du, you win beautifully!"
Old Nie Long strode into the lounge, holding out his thumb as he walked.
Li Jie smiled and shook his head and said modestly.
"No, Teacher Yu was not in good condition during the competition today, so I missed out on being the champion."
"Haha, you kid."
Lao Nie came closer and patted Li Jie on the shoulder.
"If you win, you win. Don't talk official talk with me here."
Immediately, Old Nie pulled up the bench and sat down carelessly.
"Xiao Du, I'm here to tell you some extra good news. Just now, the leaders of the Chess Academy held a meeting to discuss and unanimously passed the resolution to award you the title of 'Nine Dan'."
"From now on, outsiders will no longer call you young chess player, young general, etc."
"You now have a new title - Du Jiuduan!"
“Thank you for your leadership’s concern.”
Although Li Jie doesn't care whether he is a "ninth-dan" or an "eighth-dan", he still deserves thanks for his performance.
Lao Nie waved his hand: "Thank you no matter what, you deserve this. If you really want to thank me, just bring me back a few more world championships!"
"..."
Looking at the extremely confident Lao Nie, Li Jie was quite speechless.
Lao Nie's tone made him treat the world champion as cabbage.
