Chapter 111 The King of the Southwest (8)
"Chen Rui, do you know Old Nie's apprentice Gu Li?" Ma Xiaochun asked immediately when he returned to the room. He just saw Chen Rui and Gu Li chatting aside with great joy, not like someone he had just met.
"Yes, Gu Li and I have known each other for almost half a year. When I first came out of school, he often taught me chess online."
After hearing Chen Rui's words, Ma Xiaochun felt cold. His worries on the road just now worked.
In fact, Ma Xiaochun was not impulsive when making this bet with Nie Weiping. He knew that Gu Li had been famous for two or three years. Although he did not have the experience of international competitions, his domestic record was very outstanding. With chess alone, Shen Rui's chances of winning were only 30%.
However, Ma Xiaochun thought so at that time. Gu Li's chess has studied a few games and is quite familiar with his style. Chen Rui just appeared in the domestic arena a month ago and has not yet formed his own chess style. Even if Nie Weiping wants to teach Gu Li some flying swords, it is probably not easy to start.
But now, the fact that Gu Li and Shen Rui met each other and had fought each other many times ruthlessly shattered his original beautiful idea.
"Chen Rui, how many times have you fought with Gu Li online? What's the outcome?" Ma Xiaochun was still a little unwilling to give up and wanted to know more.
"There are about 100 sets, and I can't remember the specific numbers clearly. At the beginning, I always lost, but later I could win three or four sets in 10 sets." Chen Rui replied truthfully.
"Can you win three or four in ten games?" Ma Xiaochun's mood improved slightly. Although things were bad, they were not bad enough. Chen Rui was only slightly inferior to Gu Li before coming to Zhejiang. In addition, his special training last month, he was still in the 50s.
However, things are not good. Since the two of them are so familiar, Nie Weiping will definitely know from Gu Li that Chen Rui is not good at layout and ending weaknesses. If he put in effort to deal with these two points and prevent Gu Li and Shen Rui from fighting in the middle of the game, what should he do?
Seeing Ma Xiaochun's face flashing and darkening, Chen Rui couldn't help but ask curiously: "Teacher Ma, what are you thinking?"
"It's nothing," Ma Xiaochun didn't want his psychology to affect Chen Rui, so he changed the topic: "Tomorrow you will be in the final of the Southwest King with Gu Li. Are you a little nervous?"
"I'm a little nervous," Chen Rui took a sip of water. "However, I remembered that I was playing chess with Gu Li, and I felt very excited."
"I'm looking forward to it?" Chen Rui's words were beyond Ma Xiaochun's expectations, "Why are you looking forward to it?"
"Because every time I play Guli, I feel a lot of fun. I like fighting, and he likes it even more. So our game ends most of the mid-season, so there is no need to mess with those annoying officials." Chen Rui said and laughed.
Yes, why didn't I expect it? Ma Xiaochun patted his head. Chen Rui's advantage was certainly in the middle, but is Gu Li good at layout and official positions? He was named "Gu Dali" because of his powerful opponents? If Nie Weiping really wanted him to avoid killing against Shen Rui, he would probably have disadvantages and no benefits to his side.
After figuring this out, Ma Xiaochun felt relieved. Since both of them like to fight, let the two teenagers fight hard by themselves. They are so familiar with each other, it is probably useless no matter how much they prepare for the flying knife.

Gu Li looked at Chen Rui, and Chen Rui also looked at Gu Li. The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed at each other. The referee beside him looked at the two young men in confusion. Although he had been a Go referee for many years, he had never seen two such strange people.
Although they couldn't speak, the things they thought about now were almost the same. It's almost half a year since they met. How could the two young men who played chess on the Internet have thought that in such a short time, they would transfer the battlefield to the chess table in the final of the Southwest King Go Tournament, which symbolized the highest level of Go in the southwest region?
At this time, the ringtone that prompted the start of the game rang, Gu Li nodded to Chen Rui, and based on the result of the guess just now, he picked up a black chess and took the first step.
I don’t know what Nie Weiping instilled in Gu Li yesterday. Today, from the content of the chess, the black chess seems to be full of fighting spirit. At the beginning, Gu Li sacrificed the three consecutive stars that Old Nie swept the Japanese chess world back then.
In fact, Chen Rui was originally in love with the three-game star. However, since he was not lucky and had not guessed the black chess, he was unwilling to follow the other party's footsteps. The white chess and two-game star then ordinary plugged in the upper right corner of the black chess from the outside.
Seeing the white chess hang on the corner, the black chess did not defend, but jumped a step outside, giving up the beautiful rivers and mountains in the upper right corner.
"This move is different from Gu Li's style?" Ma Xiaochun, who was sitting in the observation room, looked at Nie Weiping next to him, "Did Old Nie do his homework for Gu Li yesterday?"
It is related to whether I can get a disciple with excellent qualifications. Of course, I have to do my homework. Nie Weiping knew that Ma Xiaochun was looking at him, but he still pretended not to know and looked at the chessboard motionlessly.
Yesterday, by asking Gu Li, Old Nie already knew that Chen Rui, like his disciple Gu Li, was a person who loves mid-game fighting. Therefore, before playing chess today, he specifically advised Gu Li that when making arrangements, he could appropriately allow Chen Rui to occupy a little bit of the ground, so as to make his chess move thickly and prepare for mid-game fighting.
Chen Rui also found it strange to Gu Li's step, which seemed to be giving in. It was not his usual style to give up a corner so easily. Looking at this tempting step, Chen Rui wanted to make a move immediately, but after hesitating a little, he still landed the chess other places above.
Seeing that Chen Rui was not deceived, Nie Weiping secretly complained that it was a pity. If Chen Rui made the corner, of course it would be a good move, but in that case, he would continue to implement the idea of taking the field. He would inevitably give up the external force to Black Chess. Because both of them were masters of mid-range battles, a big battle would be absolutely inevitable. Therefore, if Black Chess grabbed the external force, it would be equivalent to preparing before the battle began. Unexpectedly, Chen Rui did not take the bait, which made Nie Weiping's evaluation of him a little higher.
The white chess did not enter the corner, but instead flew outward, which surprised Ma Xiaochun. But he woke up immediately. What an old Nie, who wanted to use a corner to fish, but fortunately, Chen Rui was smart and did not bite the hook.
In fact, Nie Ma and the other two were wrong. Chen Rui was far from as high as they thought. Faced with the black chess’ concessions, Chen Rui had thought about grabbing the upper right corner first, but when he picked up the chess piece, he suddenly remembered the notes Su Yao made in the chess book he gave him when he was about to learn Go. "Don't let your opponent guess your next move."
As soon as he recalled this sentence, Chen Rui immediately thought of Gu Li's master, Nie Weiping, who was known as the invincible player of the top 50 players. His hand stretched out immediately shrank back. Nie Weiping would never stand by in such an important game. In addition, Gu Li is so familiar with him, Old Nie must have had an idea for his weakness in the start. This move of Black Chess just now must have been from his instructive. Although he could not see any powerful follow-up methods for Black Chess, Chen Rui still decided to give up this piece of cake.
Sure enough, Chen Rui's concession made Gu Li think for a long time. After a while, Heizi fell on the chessboard and actually changed the place. Heifei went down the right to guard the corner.
Seeing that Gu Li was so gentle today, Chen Rui held a thought, if you want me to steal your territory, then I won’t. Bai Qi also went back to connect the second consecutive stars into a three consecutive stars, and made a look like he could see who could beat who would be better than who.
In the first ten moves of the game, both sides played very elegantly, and people would not believe that this chess would be played by two young men who are good at fighting.
Gu Li was already a little anxious at this time. The reason why his two previous moves were abnormally conservative was that before the start of the game this morning, his teacher Nie Weiping instructed him to lure Chen Rui out first, then fight. However, Chen Rui's appearance as if he couldn't get out of the hole made Gu Li feel very upset. Could it be that both sides would just waste their time and drag the situation to the official?
After thinking for a long time, Gu Li made up his mind. He stopped listening to the master's words. He hadn't competed for so long. This time, let me try Chen Rui's methods first. The black chess pointed a step in the middle of the big flying of the white chess just now, and sounded the overture of the battle.
"Why is this kid Gu Li disobedient?" Seeing the black chess taking the lead, Nie Weiping muttered in a low voice. He didn't have confidence in Gu Li's combat ability. Even if he really only had strength, Gu Li's chance of winning should be more than 60%. However, according to Nie Weiping's previous idea, if Gu Li could rely on strong momentum to take action, this game of chess can basically be said to be without any risk. "Young man, just be less patient," Nie Weiping thought, "If you take two or three steps like this, you might be able to help it."
It was different from Nie Weiping's thoughts. As soon as the black chess attacked, Ma Xiaochun's heart suddenly became nervous. Although he knew that the battle between the chess game would definitely be inevitable, he still felt a little worried about Chen Rui when he saw Gu Li's move.
Gu Li's power is also famous in the Chinese Go world. Although Chen Rui has been baptized by the second league for a month, it is still unknown whether he can survive under his attack.
