As soon as the lottery results came out, the domestic audience was dumbfounded.
Why is this girl so unlucky?
The two demon kings were all drawn by them. Should we do this?
"A shady story, definitely a shady story. How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Imperialism will never die in destroying me!"
"If this was not a deliberate arrangement, I would not believe it even to death."
Originally, the domestic audience was very dissatisfied with the draw results of the Chinese chess players in this Fujitsu Cup. In the first round, the four Chinese chess players all encountered difficult Korean chess players, while the Japanese chess players all received experience packages.
That's it, admit it, after all, it is a competition organized by others, but this is the third round of the quarter-finals, and the next step is the semi-finals. Is this to directly send a Japanese player to the finals to compete for the championship?
Is this a bit too much?
However, the situation was completely reversed in South Korea. Seeing the draw results, the Korean audience sang and danced, eager to celebrate in advance that the Korean chess player had directly won the championship.
"Haha, if you let that Chinese boy yell again, Lee Chang-ho will definitely make him cry this time!"
"Qin Hao? Is that his name? It doesn't matter. He will become a clown soon anyway. Well, this nickname is good. I think I can award it to him directly."
"The day we have finally waited for, Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol, will train those two Chinese chess players hard and let them know that the dignity of the Korean nation is inviolable, Smecta!"
It’s no wonder that Korean audiences are so confident. Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol’s records in the past two years have been really good, especially in large-scale international Go competitions, when they faced off against foreign players, they almost had a complete victory record.
Like the Samsung Cup, the LG Cup has almost become a civil war stage for Korean chess players, with Korean players often taking the top four places.
The long-term victory has also given the Korean people blind confidence in Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol, believing that there is no enemy they cannot defeat as long as they take action.
This sentiment also appeared within the Korean Chess Academy. The moment they saw the draw results came out, the Korean Chess Academy felt like it was a Chinese New Year. People who didn't know it thought they had won the championship in advance.
Even Li Changhao rarely showed a faint smile on his face, but unlike others, the reason why Li Changhao was happy was that he finally had the opportunity to play chess with Qin Hao.
Li Shishi looked at Li Changhao, a little unwilling to accept that Li Changhao encountered such an easy thing.
Lee Sedol has never been satisfied with the title of "Double Lee" in the Korean media, and they also called him "Little Lee" and Lee Chang-ho as "Big Lee".
In his opinion, judging from both sides' records and chess skills, he is obviously better. Lee Chang-ho was able to win those honors entirely because he debuted earlier.
"It would be great if this guy loses!" Lee Sedol thought secretly. If Lee Chang-ho loses to Qin Hao, and then he kills Qin Hao, then he will undoubtedly become a hero in the eyes of the Korean people. From then on,
There is no longer any "double Lee" in the Korean chess world, only Lee Sedol!
As for his opponent Yu Xiaoyang, Li Shishi didn't take him seriously at all, he was just defeated.
Time passed very quickly during the preparations. The atmosphere at the Huaxia Chess Academy was extremely tense. They were about to face two big demons in the chess world. The coaching staff tried their best to analyze the past games of Lee Chang Ho and Lee Sedol.
Even Yu Xiaoyang was rarely nervous. The only one who was not under any psychological pressure was Qin Hao.
When Nie Qisheng saw Qin Hao still eating ice cream leisurely, he shook his head. It was the first time in so many years that he had seen such a calm young man like Qin Hao.
"I hope he is really relaxed and not pretending to be calm."
Soon, on the match day, the ratings of Korean TV stations rose sharply. A large number of Korean people stayed in front of the TV early in the morning, just to see the real-time scene of Lee Chang Ho defeating Qin Hao.
Although they have fantasized about similar scenes countless times in their minds, fantasy is never as satisfying as reality, and they are still more willing to witness this scene with their own eyes.
"Lee Changho, come on, kill that kid who talks arrogantly!"
"Lee Changho, you are invincible, teach that bastard who dares to challenge Korean Go!"
"Axi, we have finally waited for this day. Do you think that after the game is over, will that kid be tortured until he cries?"
At the competition site, Qin Hao and Lee Chang-ho took their seats respectively.
Lee Chang-ho chatted, and the team translator explained: "Mr. Lee Chang-ho said that he has been waiting for this day for a long time. I hope you can go all out and not leave regrets on both sides."
Qin Hao nodded: "As you wish!"
Soon the referee called and other personnel retreated outside the cordon.
On the other side, Li Shishi and Yu Xiaoyang also started to guess first. Yu Xiaoyang guessed the even number correctly and got the black chess to go first. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had to admit that Li Shishi still put a lot of pressure on him.
Li Shishi seemed a little careless at first, and his eyes would glance in the direction of Qin Hao from time to time. It was not until Yu Xiaoyang dropped the first sunspot that he finally focused on the chessboard again. He went crazy, but Li Shishi was not brainless.
He knew that Yu Xiaoyang still had some strength, and if he was not careful, he might capsize.
As the two games started at the same time, the Chinese audience began to get excited.
This time, Yu Xiaoyang and Qin Hao's opponents are no ordinary people. They are the two demon kings in the Korean chess world. They are the main culprits for the fact that Chinese chess players have not won a world championship in the past five years.
"Fight for your breath, Yu Xiaoyang, this time it all depends on you!"
"You can't say that, right? Didn't Qin Hao lose to two Korean professional ninth-dan players in a row? He also has a chance to win, right?"
"Look, for the uninitiated, there is a difference between professional 9th Dan. Lin Yongxun and Cui Chengquan are professional 9th Dan because their strength can only reach professional 9th Dan. Lee Chang Ho and Lee Sedol are professional 9th Dan because the highest professional Go level is only 9th Dan. Completely
It’s just two concepts.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "According to what you said, Qin Hao will definitely lose?"
"Anyway, the hope is relatively slim, so I still hope that Yu Xiaoyang will perform better, maybe he can kill Li Shishi, and the chance of winning this time will be higher."
Most of the audience still habitually pinned their hopes on Yu Xiaoyang. After all, it was the first time for Qin Hao to participate in the world competition. He defeated two Korean chess players in a row. This was already a surprise. This could be regarded as a sign of love for him.
However, Ogura Yumi and Jiang Xueming didn't see it that way. When they heard CCTV's explanation of the fifth set, they immediately became very angry.
"What, Qin Hao can definitely defeat that Li Changhao, a bunch of ignorant guys!"
At the same time, Shi Shi and Yu Liang were watching the broadcast with their eyes fixed on the screen, for fear of missing any move.
Yu Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father was as steady as ever. However, as Li Shishi seemed ordinary, but actually hid murderous intentions, Yu Liang couldn't help but feel worried for his father.
"Hey, Yu Liang, do you think the two of them can win?" Shi Guang asked suddenly.
Yu Liang was a little impatient: "Watch chess carefully, there is so much nonsense."
"You're not worried at all?"
"Worrying can make them win chess? And it's just a game of chess. If you lose and win again, you have time to think about these messy things. Why not think about how to improve your chess skills and strive for us to participate in the World Series next year!"
Chu Ying floated up in the void and said excitedly: "That's right, practice chess hard, and when we go to the World Series, maybe we can understand the skill of God there."
Time also began to imagine the image of myself, like Qin Hao, defeating Korean chess players in the world competition.
At this moment, Yu Liang suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, no!"
Shi Guang was startled and quickly looked at the screen.
At the Fujitsu Cup scene, Yu Xiaoyang frowned. Just in front of Jushou, Li Shishi made a "jump" move in the area of his sunspot.
He didn't pay attention at first, and even thought that Li Shishi had failed.
However, just now, Li Shishi made another "Xiao Fei" hand near the "Jump" hand, completely connecting the white stones in the upper right corner. The originally good situation was reversed in an instant.
"How did he come up with this move?" Yu Xiaoyang felt unbelievable. He had some understanding of Li Shishi's chess style, but he still couldn't capture the rules of Li Shishi's chess playing. In other words, Li Shishi's chess playing had never been regular.
The set position and chess shape are completely nonsense here to Lee Sedol. He is a chess player who truly relies on his talent to play chess.
After falling into a disadvantage, Yu Xiaoyang also tried to use offense to recover the disadvantage, but in the end, Li Shishi took advantage of the flaw and lost in the middle game.
Seeing Yu Xiaoyang surrendering, many Chinese viewers covered their heads in annoyance.
"Teacher Yu, how could this chess be played like this? What on earth are you thinking about?"
"Oh, there is no way. Since that one was ambushed, the whole situation has become dangerous. Yu Xiaoyang also wants to regain the disadvantage. This Li Shishi is indeed one of the two demon kings. He should not be underestimated!"
"This is going to be troublesome. If you lose a game first, Yu Xiaoyang will be under great pressure. Li Shishi is the kind of chess player who is very good at seizing opportunities."
The Chinese audience was extremely anxious, while the Korean audience was so happy that they almost even opened champagne to celebrate.
"Haha, I said that the Chinese chess players are not vulnerable at all. They have to rely on double Li. This is the most powerful chess player in Korea!"
"As expected of Li Shishi, let those Chinese chess players see what it means to be the devil in the chess world!"
"You see, this is the true strength of our Korean chess players, and you still dare to say crazy things that will prevent us from winning the world championship? Just dream! The championship must belong to us!"
However, at this moment, the TV screen had turned to Qin Hao and Li Changhao.
Lee Chang-ho remained expressionless, but the fine sweat on his forehead showed that his inner activities were anything but calm at this moment.
Li Changhao's eyes shifted from the chessboard to Qin Hao. After many years, he finally had the opportunity to play chess at close range with this dream opponent. However, the pressure this opponent brought to him was much greater than imagined.
Wave after wave of attacks like a tidal wave kept impacting his chess formation. The last one who brought such great pressure to him was Li Shishi.
However, Qin Hao's chess style is completely different from that of Lee Sedol. Lee Sedol gives Lee Chang-ho the feeling of being an assassin. His chess often appears in some very strange places, stabbing you hard in places you didn't expect at all.
Qin Hao's style is like a warrior, constantly attacking your camp, wave after wave, tirelessly, until he overwhelms you.
As Qin Hao dropped another white stone, Li Changhao could only continue to immerse himself in the chessboard. All he could do now was build a defense, wait for Qin Hao to make a mistake, and seize the opportunity to strike with a fatal blow!
As expected of Lee Chang-ho, his layout and defense were impeccable. Qin Hao was unable to break his chess formation for a while, and the situation between the two fell into a tense situation.
The Korean audience was naturally dissatisfied with this scene. What they wanted to see was Lee Chang Ho beating Qin Hao until he lost his armor and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"This Lee Chang-ho, his chess skills are deteriorating more and more. It has been so long that he can't even reach professional sixth-dan!"
"Well, after all, he is getting older. Lee Chang-ho is far behind his peak years. It seems that the Korean chess world will still have to rely on Lee Sedol in the future."
On the other side, when the Chinese audience saw this scene, they were both excited and nervous.
"This Qin Hao really has two skills. He didn't panic at all against Lee Chang Ho and was always on the offensive. It's amazing!"
"Hey, tell me, does Qin Hao have a chance to win this round?"
"I've thought too much, and now it seems that White is on the offensive, but this is determined by the chess styles of the two. Qin Hao has always been good at attacking, and Lee Chang-ho is also known for his stable layout. In fact, this game is evenly matched, and Qin Hao's
Such an offensive method can easily be exploited by opponents at the official stage."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just as the Chinese audience was sweating for Qin Hao, on the other side, the second set between Yu Xiaoyang and Li Shishi had also begun.
In this game, Yu Xiaoyang once again got the black chess to go first. Perhaps because of the pressure of 0:1, Yu Xiaoyang hesitated for a long time in the first move, and finally played at point three three.
This change of move not only surprised Li Shishi, but also stunned many old chess players in front of the TV.
This is obviously not Yu Xiaoyang’s style!
The coaching staff at the Huaxia Chess Academy was also confused. What's going on? Has Yu Xiaoyang practiced this kind of opening these days?
Nie Qisheng's eyes subconsciously drifted to where Qin Hao was.
"Are you going to imitate that kid? It's very dangerous to do so! Or is it that Lee Sedol puts too much pressure on you, making you feel that you can't win with a regular start?"
In fact, Yu Xiaoyang has been studying Qin Hao's chess. He discovered very early that Qin Hao's chess did not pay attention to the set position or the shape of the chess. In this regard, Li Shishi was a bit like Qin Hao. The defeat in the first game forced Yu Xiaoyang to
Considering that the army is in danger, don't you Li Shishi like to take advantage of me? I will directly drag you into an offensive battle so that you have no chance to trick me.
In a pure competition of chess skills, Yu Xiaoyang believes that he will not lose to Li Shishi!
Not to mention that this move was really effective, Li Shishi noticed something was wrong in the first thirty moves. His opponent seemed to be a completely different person, and the frequency of attacks became so fast that he was not given a chance to make a move.
"How did this guy become so difficult?"
On the other side, the battle between Lee Chang Ho and Qin Hao has reached the official stage.
With good defense, Lee Chang-ho firmly maintained the advantage in the upper right corner, but Qin Hao had already firmly controlled the left wing, and at the same time, the middle was also locked in a tough battle.
"Seven of eleven, break!"
The chess piece Li Changhao just held fell into the chess box again. He knew that he had lost this game.
"I lost."
The moment Lee Chang-ho surrendered, the match scene exploded.
The team leaders, coaches, and players of the Korean Chess Academy all had the same expression: Impossible, I must be dreaming.
The only two people who were secretly happy were Lin Yongxun and Cui Chengquan, even a little bit happy.
"How about saying we are trash? You saw it, so what if Lee Chang-ho is gone? It's not like we can't do it."
It's not that our army is too incompetent, but that the enemy's army is too strong.
Of course, the Korean audience doesn't care whether Qin Hao is strong or not. They only know that Lee Chang Ho lost, to a guy who clamored that Korean chess players would never win a world championship again.
"Li Changhao, this loser, what on earth is he doing?"
"He is smearing our Korean Go game. He is not worthy of the honor he has now. He should kneel down in front of the people of the country and admit his mistake!"
"If the Korean player does not win this Fujitsu Cup championship in the end, Lee Chang-ho will be the sinner of Korean Go!"
In addition to anger, the Korean audience actually has a very subtle psychology, that is, fear. Lee Chang Ho, who had high hopes for them, actually lost.
This means that Qin Hao is really capable of winning the world championship, so will what he said become a reality? Although most Korean viewers think it is impossible, sometimes the role of psychological suggestion is
Extremely powerful.
In fact, many Korean viewers are already worried about who will win the final championship, but they are not willing to admit it, they are afraid!
On the other hand, the Chinese audience also saw the scene of Lee Chang-ho surrendering to defeat for the first time through the broadcast of CCTV 5.
In an instant, excited celebrations broke out in various regions of China.
"Haha, let me just say that this young man Qin Hao is good. He is so awesome. He defeated Lee Chang Ho in his first World Series. He has a promising future!"
"What are the two biggest devils in Korea? It's nothing more than that. We took him down with just one career at the sixth level!"
The audience automatically ignored that this was only the first game, at least half the game. The main reason was that Yu Xiaoyang's defeat just now made them feel like half of their bodies had sunk into the water. Now that Qin Hao had won, they felt like they were being pulled out of the water.
Fished it out.
"Escape from the catastrophe!"
However, before the Chinese audience could be happy for long, Yu Xiaoyang encountered another problem.
Although Yu Xiaoyang used unconventional means at the beginning, he once had an advantage, but after all, he was not Qin Hao, and he did not have the super computing power provided by AlphaGo. After entering the middle game, Li Shishi still seized the opportunity and completed the counterattack.
"I lost." Yu Xiaoyang grabbed two chess pieces from the chess box with difficulty.
The moment he left his seat, Yu Xiaoyang looked at Qin Hao and thought silently in his heart.
