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

"What are the chances of winning?"

Hearing this question, Rui Zhao was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand why the coach suddenly asked this question.

Even though she and Lei Qi have been old rivals and have fought against each other countless times in the past two years, she has never really thought deeply about what the chances of winning are in the current match, as she has always just been thinking about playing every game well!

"Correct!"

Du Weichen briefly responded to the silly questions in the team:

“In today’s first round, we tied with Dajing team 2-2.

“Although Zeng Guangwen and Xiao Yang have the upper hand against the other players on the other side except Lei Qi, the relatively weakest player in our group is indeed on our side.

“So in the next round of the other three matches, it’s unlikely that any side will win all the games!
"Who will be the champion of this Weiqi League? It all comes down to the battle between you and Lei Qi on the main platform!"

Elder Du stared at Rui Zhao the entire time he spoke these words, and all his words were the truth.

But after he finished speaking, naturally other people were affected.

Uesaka Rei on the side bit her lips tightly, looking very unwilling, but she had no room for rebuttal.

Although she is recognized as the rising star of Japan, the designated future leader, and one of the two strongest people in the "post-10" generation in the world chess world.

But in competitive sports, the strong are strong and the weak are weak, and there is no room for excuses or reasons.

Since Kosaka came to the Chinese Men's Go League early to fight monsters of higher levels in order to grow as quickly as possible, he must accept the fact that he is his team's biggest weakness in the playoffs and can only hope that the captain of the team will cover the team in the future.

But... Rei Uesaka, who has been shouldering the important task of reviving the future of Go in her country at a young age, naturally understands this truth!

Japan's rising star did not dwell on it too much. He quickly forced himself to calm down. Then he followed Du Weichen's gaze and looked at the contemporary Concubine Zhaojun.

Zeng Guangwen and Yang Manjing both looked towards their team leader upon seeing this, waiting for her reply with bated breath.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, no matter how silly Rui Zhao was, he knew that his opinion at this moment was of great importance, so he pursed his lips and pondered for a long time, and finally gave his answer carefully with his eyelashes slightly flashing:

"If we talk about strength... I think it's fifty-fifty in standard slow chess!"

"Fifty-five?!"

Hearing Rui Zhao's answer, the coach Du Weichen's eyes flickered, and he seemed to want to say something.

However, Rui Zhao had not finished speaking yet. Before he could open his mouth, the second half of his sentence came:

"But... this time I'm playing with black. Under Chinese rules, the 7.5 point handicap for black is a bit heavy.

"So if I have to say that I have a chance of winning the battle the day after tomorrow, I feel that I may only have 30% chance."

"……ah?!
"The strength is 50-50, but if I play black, my chance of winning is only 30%?!

Hearing this, Yang Manjing was confused for a moment and couldn't help but ask:
"Rui Zhao, did you make a mistake?!

"Then according to your opinion...

"If you were to play with white, you would also be 70% sure of defeating Lei Qi?"

"Yeah that's right!"

Rui Zhao nodded without hesitation, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, he asked the little witch expectantly:

"Eh? Man Jing, you ask that...

"Is there a way for me to play white on the main stage?!"

"How could there be!!!"

Faced with this silly question, Queen Mulan couldn't help but complain:
"I'm just surprised that you dare to say that under the Chinese rules, the white player has a 70% chance of winning against Lei Qi... He has four titles and is recognized as the leader of the contemporary era!
"Not long ago, he even defeated the 15th champion Liu Shixian in the LIG Cup! In terms of the level of slow chess, he might be the strongest player in history!
"As a result, you said that even in a slow chess game, you can have a 70% winning rate against him with white?!
"Are you serious?!"

"of course!"

Rui Zhao still didn't think anything was wrong:
“Besides, this has nothing to do with whether he eliminated Liu Jiudan or not, right?

“He is only stronger than Liu Jiudan, but I feel like I am also stronger than Liu Jiudan now!
"If it's Chinese rules and I play white against Liu Jiudan, I feel the chance of winning will be even higher!"

"..."

It must be said that the attitude of the head general who treated the executive vice-GOAT of this project as a piece of dirt and a dog really shocked Miss Witch for twenty years...

Uh no!
This silly girl doesn't seem to be interested in fame on weekdays, but when she really starts to brag about herself, she's so aggressive? !

The key point is that Yang Manjing really couldn't refute this "boasting" at all!
Although Liu Shixian and Rui Zhao had not played standard slow chess in their recent matches, the team's main general won every game in the four matches in the strongest chess player competition and the Nongshim Cup. It is indeed hard to say that if Liu Shixian is given an hour of reserve time, he will be able to compete with the current killer in front of him...

"Alright Xiao Yang! Stop talking about this!"

Seeing that Queen Mulan had diverted the topic, Elder Du gave a small rebuke, then looked at Rui Zhao and asked:
"Second niece, if Lei Qi is right... are you sure you only have 30% confidence?"

"Yeah! I do think so!"

"But according to previous statistics, isn't the overall winning rate of white players of the same level slightly better, around 55%?

"The winning rate statistics of the Weiqi League in recent years are all this number!"

"It's not surprising! Because that's just the average data of the Weiqi League!"

Rui Zhao explained truthfully according to his own opinion:

“But you have to know that the higher the level of both sides, the greater the difference between black and white under the Chinese rules!

"Just like Go AI, under Chinese rules, it gives the black and white an initial winning rate of 40:60. But if the same two AI software really play slow chess under Chinese rules, the black chess may not win one game out of ten!
"And Lei Qi is very, very good! I estimate that he only has a 30% chance of winning if he plays with white!"

"Uh..." Du Weichen really had nothing to refute Rui Zhao's statement.

Including the little witch who had just expressed doubts, they all knew that there was nothing wrong with the logic of Rui Zhao's words.

The higher the overall level of the players on both sides, the greater the impact of the extra point for black under the Chinese rules on the winning rate - this is indeed an indisputable fact.

Even with the addition of the AI ​​match rules that balances the win rate by adding the "White returns half a piece after collecting" patch (equivalent to the 6.5 points handicap for Black under the Chinese rules), the initial AI win rate for Black and White is already a fairly balanced 48% to 52%. This can be reflected in the actual win-loss statistics of left-hand and right-hand AI matches, and the win rate is basically at least Black three and White seven...

However, if we follow this logic...

The average chess player's winning rate under Chinese rules is 45% to 55% for black and white. In Rui Zhao's opinion, although she and Lei Qi are at the same level in slow chess, the influence of playing black and white under Chinese rules will directly increase the odds to -...

This already shows that she feels that her and Lei Qi's level is far beyond that of the Go League!

Even...it has already left behind by who knows how many gears!

…Oh my god?!

Is Rui Zhao so silly that he can be so Versailles? !

Queen Mulan couldn't help but complain a little in her heart.

But even though he criticized it in his heart, he had witnessed his master's almost perfect display of internal strength a few days ago, so he had to admit his mistake.

As for the black Lei Qi, although Miss Witch felt that she had a chance in the middle game, the winning rate curve after the game showed that she was pushed all the way and was firmly under the control of the opponent...

...Tsk!

These two monsters are really hard to deal with!
Yang Manjing couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But wait! There is always a limit to how much one can improve in chess!
As long as I keep working hard, I will be able to catch up with you two when your progress starts to slow down!
Before that, set a small goal like “smash the little glasses”!
"...That's it!"

Just as the little witch was making up her mind, Elder Du, who had just heard Rui Zhao's reply, also took a tactical step back and began to ponder. After more than ten seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind and once again looked at his commander and said:
“Then… Second niece!

"In this case, the most crucial task in the second round of the game...I'm afraid it will still have to be handed over to you!
"I don't know... do you have confidence?"

...

...

“…Okay, the meeting officially begins!
"Lei Qi, I'll trouble you with the main general's platform!"

At 3:9 p.m. on March , in a suite at the New Century Yingkong Hotel in Dajing City, China, the Dajing team officially held their pre-match operational meeting for their last game of the season.

The first thing Fan Zhuo said at the beginning of the meeting was to determine the location of the main general's podium - this was indeed a logical and inevitable arrangement.

In fact, with the first leg ending in a 2-2 draw, there was almost no room for any substantial adjustments to the lineups of both sides.

Apart from the main players, the Pohu team is uneven in strength and the Dajing team is mediocre overall.

In such a situation, theoretically, neither side has a chance of winning all three games, so the outcome will be determined by the main player.

"Ah."

Lei Qi responded in a very concise manner.

Before the first round, he had already made a pledge to win two games in a row to help the team win the championship. There was no reason to back down at this time.

Next, when Lei Qi sat in the position of the main general of the second station and waited for Rui Zhao to come to challenge, the task of the remaining three stations was basically to ensure that they would not be defeated by the opponent 3-0 as much as possible.

As for the extravagant hope of winning all three games to provide an insurance for the main general's platform?
Lei Qi knew very well that his coach should be very clear that this was a pure unrealistic daydream.

As expected, Fan Zhuo had already planned the arrangement of the other three stations and directly arranged:

"As for the other three...there's actually not much to say under the circumstances.

"It's basically conceivable that Du Weichen will definitely place Zeng Gou and Little Witch on the first, third and second stations with white pieces, ensuring at least one victory except for the main station. As for Uesaka Rei, she will just have to fend for herself on the fourth station.

"My idea is that, in this case, we should set the fourth table as a fast chess table, and let Qu Jundu defend it.

"Qu Jundu is good at fast chess. He played fast chess with Uesaka Rei once in the first round and showed obvious suppression.

"If we win the first fast chess table, it will also help boost overall morale!

"What do you think?"

After Fan Zhuo finished speaking, several members of the Dajing team exchanged glances and expressed their agreement.

Indeed, in the current situation, the victory or defeat of the two teams basically depends on the result of the main stage, and there is nothing special to figure out about the other stages.

The most ideal arrangement is to let Qu Jundu, playing with white, steadily defeat Kamisaka Rei and take the lead to boost morale, and let the other one, three and two players give their best and take on the responsibility of multiple insurance.

So, in less than three minutes, the Dajing team's pre-match meeting efficiently completed the entire agenda.

However, before announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Fan Zhuo once again looked at his commander and solemnly reminded him:

"...Then Lei Qi.

"The next round will basically depend on your performance on the main stage!"

"Yeah. I'm confident."

After confirming that he would play with white pieces, Lei Qi confidently expressed his opinion to his coach and teammates in the face of the "battle between the two saints of Chinese chess" that was hotly discussed by the media.

However, at this time, the Dajing team had not yet thought of
When the second round of the match is officially announced the next day, the final result will shock the entire world chess community and completely overturn all the tactical arrangements they have carefully formulated today. (End of this chapter)
