Chapter 185 Impressive

"Are you wondering if I can win?"

Wu Zhixuan stared at Yu Shao, guessing what Yu Shao was thinking. She wrinkled her nose and said angrily, "I have been a professional chess player for three years. She is a girl, and although she is also very good, I will definitely win, okay!"

She was very dissatisfied with the fact that Yu Shao was actually thinking about who would win or lose between her and Xu Zijin!

Although she could accept losing to a male first-dan player, she could not accept losing to a female first-dan player. After all, they were all girls, and she felt that she should be no less capable than any female player.

I am very good among female chess players! Hearing this, Yu Shao immediately saw the difference between Wu Zhixuan and Xu Zijin.

Wu Zhixuan can calmly accept the fact that female chess players are usually not as good as male chess players, so she thinks it’s no big deal if male chess players are better than her. She only strives to become the best among female chess players.

But Xu Zijin couldn't accept losing to a male chess player. Compared with Wu Zhixuan, Xu Zijin was more stubborn and strong-willed. She didn't want to lose to anyone, no matter if they were men or women.

Because of this, Xu Zijin was destined to be very tired, but Wu Zhixuan was very relaxed. Her results were outstanding among female chess players, so she was full of energy every day.

Yu Shao didn't think there was anything wrong with Wu Zhixuan's mentality.

Just from the perspective of a chess player, Yu Shao felt that even if the two were really evenly matched now, if Wu Zhixuan maintained this mentality, then Xu Zijin would most likely go further in the future.

"I know you're great."

Yu Shao naturally wouldn't say what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I'll finish playing chess later. If you haven't finished yet, I'll go and take a look."

“I will definitely win!”

Wu Zhixuan leaned down, got close to Yu Shao's face, stared into Yu Shao's eyes, pretended to be fierce and cute, and asked: "You think so too, right?"

The distance between the two suddenly became very close.

Yu Shao could not only smell the faint fragrance from Wu Zhixuan, but also feel the temperature of Wu Zhixuan's breath when she spoke.

Yu Shao originally wanted to avoid sight, but then he was blocked by the towering curve of Wu Zhixuan's chest.

"Yes, I think so too."

Yu Shao chose to surrender. This was too unfair. How could you ask someone like that? She was only a few months away from turning 18. How did she develop like that? Hearing this, Wu Zhixuan nodded contentedly and straightened her back again. Because the two of them were very close, her slender waist and smooth belly were particularly conspicuous.

Absolutely.

"You have such a good figure?"

Yu Shao was a little puzzled and asked, "How did you do it? Are you born like this?"

“This is something that comes from practice!”

Hearing this, Wu Zhixuan said proudly: "Playing Go also requires physical strength. I run every morning, and practice Pilates and yoga. If I weren't a Go player, maybe I could be a model!"

"You fight so hard?"

Yu Shao was shocked. Playing chess is indeed very physically demanding, but very few people exercise just to play chess.

"Otherwise, how can I become a female chess master!"

Wu Zhixuan snorted complacently and said, "I've observed that all good professional chess players have good physical fitness. Many chess players are still very strong in their forties or fifties."

Today, both Yu Shao and Wu Zhixuan arrived very early. There was still some time before the game started. Speaking of old chess players, Wu Zhixuan simply sat opposite Yu Shao and chatted about the recent Go Saint War.

"Come to think of it, Mr. Jiang Changdong has already won two games. He is still so strong."

Wu Zhixuan said with some emotion, "I wonder if Teacher Zhang Dongchen can win the third game."

"I find that there don't seem to be many young top chess players like Zhang Dongchen, the Go Saint?" Yu Shao pondered.

"Like Mr. Zhang Dongchen, there are indeed not many young chess players who can compete with the top players."

Wu Zhixuan couldn't help but cough twice and said, "Although Teacher Zhang Dongchen has lost two games in a row...it's just because Teacher Jiang Changdong is too good and Teacher Zhang Dongchen didn't perform well."

"There are many young chess players who are very good in every aspect, but they don't have any very impressive points."

Wu Zhixuan stuck out her tongue and said, "Of course, he's still much better than me!"

“What impressed me the most?”

Yu Shao was a little puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"For example, Mr. Jiang Changdong."

Wu Zhixuan explained: "Teacher Jiang Changdong is very good at dragon-slaying techniques. He is very good at entanglement and attack. His moves are well-known for being tricky. His ability to lure the enemy into making mistakes is first-rate. His moves often leave no room for the enemy to breathe. They are violent and ferocious. He is known as the Dragon-Slaying Saint."

"There is also Feng He, ninth dan. Although he is fifty-six years old now, he is not as good as before, but he is still very powerful."

"His moves are delicate and his edge is restrained. In a detailed chess game, he often makes moves that seem slow but are actually long-lasting, without any obvious weaknesses. He is known as an elegant chess player."

"There is also the great chess player Fu Shunan, who has a balanced style of play, accurate situation judgment, and the ability to control various complex changes. He has a strong grasp of the board, and once he has an advantage, it is very difficult for the opponent to reverse the situation. He is nicknamed the Immovable Chess King."

"There is also Chen Shan, 9th Dan. He is physically strong and energetic. His style of play is strong and tenacious, and his fighting spirit is amazing. He often fights with his opponents and makes a comeback. Unless the opponent is sure to lead from the beginning to the end, the situation will be reversed immediately if he makes a mistake."

"Although Zhang Chendong Go Saint is young, he has a keen sense and can quickly perceive the outcome of a game. He can find a move that ordinary people cannot find, and then win by surprise. His chess style is also brave and aggressive, and he is indomitable, so he is called the Smiling Tiger."

"There are also teachers Zhuang Weisheng, Kong Zi, Zhu Xinyuan, and Chang Yan... In short, not only do they not have obvious shortcomings, but they also have impressive qualities, so they are exceptionally strong."

"If you want to be among the top players, you have to be able to beat the top players. So it's not enough to just be strong. You have to be much stronger than others in some way."

Wu Zhixuan sighed and said with a sad face: "This is too difficult."

After listening to Wu Zhixuan's words, Yu Shao smiled and said, "According to what you said, then the great chess player Fu Shunan must be Chen Shan's nemesis, right?"

"Hey, you guessed it right!"

Wu Zhixuan was obviously also very interested in this kind of gossip in the chess world. She clapped her hands and laughed, "Teacher Chen Shan hates Teacher Fu Shunan the most. He can hardly win a single game out of ten against Teacher Fu Shunan. He hates her to the core."

Just as the two were chatting about chess gossip, Xu Zijin's figure quietly appeared at the door of the game room.

When Xu Zijin walked into the game room and saw Yu Shao chatting enthusiastically with Wu Zhixuan, he was slightly startled.

She stood at the door of the game room, silently watching the two of them for a while before finally retracting her gaze, walking towards table number 19, pulling out a chair and slowly sitting down.

After a while, when the game time was approaching, Wu Zhixuan finally stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. Come on, try your best to win another game!"

"The same to you."

Yu Shao nodded and smiled.

"Huh?"

Wu Zhixuan turned her head to look at table number 19, let out a light exclamation, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. It was only then that she finally realized that Xu Zijin had arrived.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing this, Wu Zhixuan hurried to table 19 and sat down opposite Xu Zijin.

"Morning."

As soon as I sat down, Wu Zhixuan greeted me with a smile and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"morning."

Xu Zijin looked at Wu Zhixuan quietly, nodded slightly, and replied: "I have eaten."

Not long after, a group of chess players came into the game room one after another, then came to the opposite side of their opponents, pulled out chairs, and sat opposite each other.

Compared with the first qualifying round, Yu Shao saw quite a few new faces in this qualifying round. They should be new players who registered after the first qualifying round.

Soon, a boy who was only fourteen years old came to the opposite side of Yu Shao, pulled out a chair and sat down, took a look at Yu Shao, and suddenly felt pressured.

His name is Qi Fanyu. He became a professional chess player at the age of thirteen. Now, a year has passed, and he is still at the beginner level.

Although his recent record was acceptable, facing Yu Shao who had been on a winning streak, Qi Fanyu felt that he would most likely lose this game.

Soon, Su Yiming also came to the game room, glanced at Yu Shao and Yu Shao's opponent, then walked straight to the fourteenth table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

After a while, two referees came to the game room, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"It's about time."

After a moment, a referee raised his wrist, looked at the time on his watch, cleared his throat, and said, "Both sides have two hours available, one minute countdown, now you can start guessing who will go first!"

Hearing this, Yu Shao immediately reached into the chess box, took out a white piece and held it in his palm, while Qi Fanyu also reached into the chess box, took out a black piece and placed it on the chessboard.

After the guessing of the first move, Yu Shao played black and Qi Fanyu played white.

After the two men greeted each other, the game began.

Yu She reached into the chess box, picked out the black piece, and put it down gently.

clatter.

Seventeen columns and four rows, small size!

Soon, in the game room, the sound of chess pieces falling on the board began to be heard continuously, one after another.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

Time passes by every second.

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard calmly, thought for a moment, reached into the chess box again, slowly took out the chess piece from the box, and then gently put it down.

Da! Fourteen columns and eight rows, fly! Seeing this move, Qi Fanyu, who was opposite Yu Shao, couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"He was totally unmoved by my onslaught!"

He looked at the chessboard, his face pale and his expression extremely ugly. After thinking for a long time, he finally took the chess piece out of the chess box and put it down quickly.

Seeing this move, Yu Shao's expression remained calm. He looked at the chessboard, quickly picked up the chess piece, and placed it down again.

Ta, da, da!

Both sides quickly made seven or eight moves in succession.

Seeing Yu Shao make another move, Qi Fanyu clenched his teeth even tighter.

"No, it's not so much indifference as it is——"

"He has already calculated it. In fact, my white pieces here have no harsh methods. Even if I ignore it first, I can still make the black pieces here alive in the next key move!"
