The first stage of the preliminaries of the Maple City Celebrity Invitational has come to an end.

The list of the top 16 is freshly released, and there are no too surprising candidates, but the last three players who have won six in a row are a bit surprising.

Ye Xiaoya, Yu Meiling, Sun Fang, two women and one man among these three people.

Yu Meiling's professional fourth dan, although she has been retired for many years, as the highest-ranked professional chess player in this competition, it is not surprising that she has won six consecutive victories in the preliminaries.

Sun Fang amateur 6 paragraph, in his twenties, is the age of the best condition, and his strength should not be underestimated, he won the fifth place in the Wanbao Cup last time, which is a little worse than Ge Tiancheng's luck, but his strength is definitely not worse than Ge Tiancheng.

Ye Xiaoya was the champion of the Maple City Eagle Cup in '99 and was awarded the title of amateur 5th dan, but she didn't have any results in a year and didn't participate in any competitions.

In the eyes of many people, it is indeed a bit incredible that she defeated Ge Tiancheng to win six consecutive victories.

But because six consecutive wins in the preliminaries do not mean that the top 16 finals will definitely win the championship, many people are impressed by Ye Xiaoya, but they do not attach much importance to it.

"Bai Changle's level, no matter how powerful his students are, that's it."

"Yes, I heard that this little girl is very talented, but I don't know why, I have been learning chess with Teacher Bai, which is really delayed."

"She is very stable in chess, but in the end, she is just a little girl, and when she meets a real master, she will definitely not be able to do it."

"Doesn't this Ge Tiancheng have a psychological shadow on her, I think he has a chance of winning, why did he lose again?"

In fact, people who really understand Ye Xiaoya's chess power would never say that.

Ye Xiaoya's chess has grown greatly compared to last year, not to mention amateur chess players, even if they are real professional chess players, they can't please her in front of her.

And with the opening of Ye Xiaoya's talent step by step, the level of Go will continue to improve in the future, but Zhang Weixing, who knows Ye Xiaoya's talent best, is not here.

Last year, Ye Xiaoya was hospitalized for three days because of playing chess, and he was scared half to death, and the idea of inviting Ye Xiaoya to join the professional team of the Beijing Chess Academy was gone.

And Zhang Zhijun and others, who know Ye Xiaoya's chess strength, are confidently waiting for Ye Xiaoya to win the championship and become a blockbuster.

In contrast, Ge Tiancheng, who has won five consecutive victories, is very depressed at the moment, and this time against Ye Xiaoya, although he is very cautious, he also tries his best to go.

It's a pity that he still missed a move in the middle of the kill, and the whole chess was killed and collapsed, and the same ending as the third section of Xu Jiahua was defeated by a female chess player who slayed the dragon in the middle game.

These two female chess players, who have won six consecutive victories in dragon slaying, have also become a good story before the start of the round of 16.

After all, in the Go world, there has always been a rise and fall of the yang, and it is extremely rare for female chess players to want to win the championship in the competition.

In this Fengcheng Celebrity Invitational Tournament, there were only twelve female chess players out of more than 100 people participating, and two of them won six consecutive victories, which was indeed unexpected.

The Maple City Celebrity Invitational has officially entered the second stage, and the round of 16 consists of three players with six consecutive wins, ten five wins, and three four wins.

Over the next two days, there will be four more games, which will be drawn in groups, where the three players who have won six in a row will be placed in different groups, and then they will be divided into four groups in turn.

Although it was divided into four groups, it did not play the group stage, but according to the rules of the points round-robin, and finally won the championship with four consecutive wins, the runner-up with three consecutive wins, and two players with three wins fought to rank third.

For Ye Xiaoya, there is only one goal this time, and that is to win the championship.

In the first round of the official competition, Ye Xiaoya met a tall and fat teenager.

This big fat man plays chess very slowly, and every move, whether there is chess or not, he thinks for a long time, and in the retention time of an hour, Ye Xiaoya only played less than thirty moves in this game of chess.

This kind of speed can no longer be regarded as thinking, but a kind of friction, for this kind of chess player who is particularly slow to play chess, Ye Xiaoya has always maintained the demeanor of a chess player, unhurried, and waiting lightly.

Of course, because the wait is sometimes too boring, she can't help but be distracted by other things.

But every time her opponent makes the next move, she quickly responds and then falls into the wait again.

In the end, this tall and fat young man ran out of time and lost overtime, and he didn't even take a hundred steps in the whole game, the situation seemed to be about the same, but he had already run out of time.

"I don't think I can afford to lose." The fat boy sighed.

"Yes, you're still doing good, but you're running out of time." Ye Xiaoya said lightly.

"Hey, if only I had enough time." The tall fat boy said again.

"Maybe." Ye Xiaoya didn't want to hit this strong fat man, although the situation was still unclear, none of his grinding and long-term chess moves were beyond Ye Xiaoya's expectations.

Therefore, Ye Xiaoya can say with certainty that even if he has more time, the final result will not change, and he is bound to lose.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoya was still very glad that time had run out, and she didn't have to continue to rub with this fat man.

In the second round of the afternoon competition, Ye Xiaoya met a real hard bone, the retired professional third-stage Xu Jiahua.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, Ye Xiaoya sat opposite the flat-headed man with a full beard.

The man asked with a smile on his face, "Ye Xiaoya, how many years have you been learning Go?" ”

"It's been a few years." Ye Xiaoya replied lightly.

"How old are you now?"

"Ten years old."

"Yes, are you going to take a career path?"

"Under consideration." Ye Xiaoya responded to these questions out of politeness, and she didn't like to be asked like this.

"Your talent is very good, you must follow a career path."

"Thank you."

"However, this time, I will do my best, you have to do your best." Xu Jiahua smiled slightly, he admired the calm little girl in front of him.

But he also thinks that this little girl was just lucky to get six consecutive wins, and counting the morning game, it should be said that it is seven consecutive wins.

Obviously, when he appears, Ye Xiaoya's winning streak will definitely be ended, and her good luck should end here.

"I'll do my best." When Ye Xiaoya heard the uncle's last words, she had a good impression.

Although the inside and outside of that voice contained his self-confidence, as well as his disapproval of her chess ability.

But this sentence was said very implicitly, and it also aroused Ye Xiaoya's fighting spirit.

Last year, she played Zhang Weixing and was clearly inferior to her opponent, but she still won with her own inspiration and precise calculations.

Now that her chess skills have soared, she has even more confidence in the face of this retired professional chess player.

And she believes that she can win this game without expending too much energy.

Ye Xiaoya put a sunspot on the chessboard and gently spit out a word, "Single." ”

"You guessed it, what chess?"

"Black." Ye Xiaoya took a deep breath, after so many games of chess, she was very excited to finally meet a relatively strong opponent.
