Qin Jian knew what Duan Ran was trying to express, and she probably wanted to say something like 'Normally, every player will put their hole cards in the final round'.

That's right, it's the mentality of a player in a normal game, or most of the fights.

It's not that there are no people who will amplify their moves as soon as they come up, in short, they are all tactics, tactics for the sake of the competition ranking.

From the very beginning, Qin Jian paid close attention to the on-site dynamics of every potential threat, which is why he insisted on going to the scene every round.

Because live performances are the most direct reflection of a contestant's body and mentality.

He noticed Edmundo from the video of the preliminary match, and then in the main match, he saw the changes of the opponent in each match, and the opponent's form has been steadily improving.

Until this round, after the other party played the sonata, he felt that the next mazurka should end in a dull way.

But to his surprise, the opponent did not stop but continued to sing, and at the last moment, the scene almost turned into a final scene.

And that's the problem.

Qin Jian can't give a scientific explanation, as an experienced tournament player, he has won three championships, although one of them is only the championship of the division.

Behind every championship trophy is he finally gained step by step through round rounds.

His experience is that if he wants to get a glimpse of the title, he's going to have to settle for it in the penultimate round.

This stability refers to the stability of the state, but also to the stability of the mentality.

Because no matter how good the results in the penultimate round are, the championship trophy will not fall directly into the pocket.

A consistent penultimate round will help players see the situation and see their form clearly, so as to find an excellent entry point in the final and break out in the final round.

On the contrary, excessive overdraft in the penultimate round will only make it impossible to recover the excitement of the stage in a short period of time.

This is especially important for a competition like the Chopin Competition, which has a dense schedule and a long period.

If Edmundo is just trying to reach the final, then the opponent's performance today can be seen as a different situation.

Looking at the opponent's consistent performance and overall skill level in the previous rounds, coupled with the name of Branhano disciple on his head, Edmundo's ambition is definitely not just to reach the final.

But he didn't seem to manage his emotions well on stage today.

...

After Qin Jian's explanation, Duan Ran understood: "Then can he expose his hole cards in advance?"

"It can't be regarded as revealing his hole cards, I don't know what kind of preparation he has made for the finals," Qin Jian pondered for a moment, "but the spirit in his body has subsided a lot after this round is over, I noticed his expression when he took the curtain call, he was a little tired." ”

"In other words, even as opponents, I'm looking forward to seeing Adams and Fred in the final in the final in what kind of form they will be in. ”

"Including Ivanov, who collapsed in this round, I know that he didn't adjust his form after coming to power today, so the first half of the game was not handled well, but if he can avoid danger and advance, I still look forward to his performance in the future. “

"But I don't have that expectation for Edmundo. ”

"Is it the mood of the stage?" Duan Ran grasped the crux of the matter.

Qin Jianchang said 'um': "Our perspective is different from the audience, the audience is just an audience after all, they don't know how to play, they will only expect Edmundo to bring them greater surprises in the final, but in fact they don't know that Edmundo is already difficult to make any more progress." ”

"The piano is just a musical instrument, not a Pandora's box. ”

"The judges know better than us that the mood of the stage can affect the opportunity of the arena, and at this stage of the competition, it is difficult for the remaining contestants to compete with each other in terms of technique.

"The contestants sit in front of the piano and desperately try to play every note, which is nothing more than trying to find the moment that impresses the audience. ”

"It was a momentary thing, but Edmundo had already used that opportunity. Qin Jian's tone sneered.

Duan Ran smiled: "How do you feel that you look a little sorry." ”

Qin Jian shook his head: "That's not it, it's just an objective analysis, the opponent is a lot less than him, and there is not much more than him, maybe he has other preparations for the repertoire processing of the finals, and he will know when he gets to the finals." ”

"Are you so sure he's going to make it to the finals?" said the chubby duan.

Qin Jian raised his hand and pinched her face and pulled it, and then said seriously: "If he can't make it to the finals, then the finals will be in trouble." ”

"Is that why you're pinching me? ”

"You feel far worse than a fat man. ”

"Well, you..."

...

The two laughed, and the last contestant in the third round, No. 20, the black Moroccan brother, had already begun to play.

The two turned their attention back to the big screen.

The black contestant has been a mystery since the start of the competition, and his resume has only one simple line of 'Piano Teacher at Hassan I University.' ’

His performance is not a system, but there are good ideas flowing in his music.

Successfully advanced all the way to the third round.

Duan Ran: "Do you think he has a chance to reach the finals?"

Qin Jian: "It's hard to say, the style he shows has always been very unique, but whether he can advance to the finals depends on how the jury ultimately views this style." ”

"I guess he can. ”

...

...

With the end of the black brother's zero mistakes, all the schedules for the third round of the 17th Chopin Competition have come to an end.

The three-day competition of 21 young pianists once again presented a feast of Chopin's music for piano fans around the world.

After the competition, Chekhov, spokesman of the General Office of the Organizing Committee, gave great affirmation and praise to the performance of the 21 contestants at the evening press conference.

At the same time, he announced the upcoming schedule of the competition

The finalists will be announced tomorrow (17 October) at 13pm at the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall. ’

'At 15:00, the second draw ceremony will be held, and the order of the players in the fourth stage of the final will be determined by re-drawing.

'19:00, 166th Anniversary of Chopin's Death'

'On October 18th, the finalists rehearsed with the Polish National Symphony Orchestra'

'October 19-20, Final'

After that, the reporter interview session was presided over by An Jieyi, vice chairman of the jury of the competition, and lasted until about 8:20 p.m.

...

After the press conference, the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall entered a brief period of tranquility.

The condensed milk box under the night sky has completed its mission for 54 years of the year.

And the real hustle and bustle on the other side has not yet begun.

The jury's motorcade arrived at the Chopin Institute at half past eight in the evening.

Just tonight, they have to decide who will advance to the finals, as well as three individual awards.

...

At 21:15, the constant sound of conversation in the conference room made the atmosphere not too tense.

The 16 judges, including Brancano, as well as two notaries, were waiting for Andrzej to arrive.

Just as one of the Russian judges showed some impatience, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

The crowd looked.

"Sorry guys, the journalists were overly enthusiastic. ”

Andrzey entered the door and smiled to apologize to everyone, then walked to his place and sat down.
