Andrzej's eyes fell on one of the Polish judges to Argerich's right, who also looked at him.

The two looked at each other.

There is a brief meeting of gazes.

It's just that the attention of others is on the notary, and no one notices the small actions of these two.

"After the final calculation, the final score of the No. 56 player was 16.9. ”

The old notary's tone was as normal as saying, 'It's not bad today', and the two 16.9 points didn't make him feel anything out of the ordinary.

He should have known what was going to happen next, he had seen it more than once.

The atmosphere of the scene finally became a little delicate, and Argerich's small exclamation brought everyone's attention back to the scene.

As the old notary put away the report in his hand and put it into a new bag, the judges looked at each other, and I looked at you, and then discussed.

The conference room suddenly became lively.

After a small storm of rescoring, the situation is now obvious.

The British player in the '39' row advanced to the next round unharmed after this small turmoil.

Similarly, the Canadian in row '42 has said goodbye to his trip to Chausel.

No one in the room doubted the data provided by the notaries, who had already been in charge of counting the votes for five Chopin competitions.

The two contestants tied for a score of '16.9' will be re-voted by the judges in the next few minutes, with the highest vote being advanced to the next round.

It is not the first time in the history of Chopin that the 'double score' phenomenon has occurred.

At the 4th edition of the Chopin Competition, a German and a Frenchman achieved the same yes number and average score in the third round.

They are the bottom two spots in the qualifying line, with only one place in the final between them.

The situation is similar at this point.

The moment Robert's new score was announced, it was destined that the same scene would be played out again.

Fortunately, this is only the first round, so it seems that the choice should not be too difficult?

But in fact, this is not the case, just as the contestants are made up of a group of living young people, and the 17 people on the judges' bench are not cold scoring tools.

Among them are 7 local Polish authorities and 4 Russian Chopins, and for reasons of history and the history of Chaucine, the Polish and Russian judges of each competition always occupy the majority of the jury table.

The remaining six judges are all from other countries, including Shaw champions like Argerich and Deng Taishan, gentlemanly piano instructors like Talibeck, and Hewitt with a keen ear for recording records.

After a short discussion, the scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Branhano with their own plans.

The judging work was on the agenda again with Branhano's opening, "Good work, Mr. Fabry. He first thanked the old justice, and then stood up to read out the beginning of the 're-score' voting session.

The voting ceremony was simple, with judges only having to raise their hands, but only 14 people were allowed to participate in the entire re-voting.

Due to the red and blue problems of the contestants, two Polish judges and one Russian judge had to sit on the sidelines and wait for the results.

More than half of the 14 judges voted to see no more of the two contestants' videos.

This included 4 Polish and 1 Russian judges, as well as 3 judges from other countries.

Some of the judges who didn't raise their hands may have forgotten the performance of the two contestants in the first round and want to re-watch the performance of the two contestants, or maybe some people didn't vote for either of the two contestants in the first round at all, and they don't want to get involved at the moment.

Instead of writing 'yes' in the middle of the judges' table in this round table, just raising your hand means that you are expressing an attitude that everyone can see.

Not raising your hand makes it hard to guess.

And as far as the current situation is concerned, in the next promotion vote-

Due to the fact that the ratio of the number of Polish judges to the Russian judges who can vote is 5:3.

Therefore, the Polish players' hopes of promotion are significantly higher than those of the Russian players in this 'pure voting' session.

Of course, this is only theoretical, after all, there are judges in the 'neutral zone'.

At last.

Branhanu looked around again and paused, "Then please vote again." ”

According to the previous rankings, the first vote for the No. 67 Russian player was held.

The Russians received only 8 votes in the live vote, which was 1 vote less than the number they received in the first round.

Among the judges who voted for him were 3 Polish judges, 3 Russian judges, and 2 neutral judges.

A basic guess can be made here, if the No. 67 Russian received all the above 8 votes during the first round, then the following conclusion can be drawn - there must have been a judge who voted for him on the field just now, so he lost one vote.

Judging from the ticket form at the scene, it is not surprising that all the Russian judges raised their hands.

Surprisingly, Andrzej and the other two Polish judges raised their hands at the same time.

The accident was almost subconscious, and that included Branhano and Argerich, who were not among the eight votes.

The old justice took note of the new number of votes for the Russian players, as well as the source of each vote.

Then came the voting for Polish player No. 56.

Branhano announced again with a calm face, "Begin." ”

He raised his hand as he spoke.

Then.

One hand after another was raised from around the round table.

Sister raised her hand.

Gentleman Taribek raised his hand.

A curly-haired Russian judge raised his hand.

Two more Polish judges, including Andrzej, raised their hands, and one of them did not raise his hand during the Russian vote.

At this time, contestant No. 56 had already received 7 votes, and the faces of the three judges, who could not vote as mentors, all changed.

Especially the Russian judge, who couldn't vote, didn't look natural with his pretended lightheartedness.

The voting is not over yet.

But in such a scene, almost every judge's subtle movements will be magnified by attention.

At that moment, the young Polish judge beside Argerich leaned back on the back of his seat, and his action attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and Andrzej's aging gaze slanted towards him for a moment.

But he looked much more relaxed than the Russian judge, who smiled and shrugged.

But there was no other action.

So far.

5 seconds have passed.

No one raised their hand again

This is the end of the 17th Chopin Competition for the Polish No. 56.

Everything is like a script that was written at the beginning.

In this secret turmoil, he struggled, but still did not escape from the identity of the 41st 'lucky one'.
