Suzuki's seven-dan 25th Docomo Cup Girls' Chess Holy War on January 20 in Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, meetSaki Ueno Aishami. The first duel between the two players was in the 23rd Episode of the Women's Chess Holy War, when Aimi Ueno, who maintained two consecutive championships, faced Suzuki, and finally Suzuki won the title. Later, in the 24th Episode of the Women's Chess Holy War, the two sides exchanged identities again, this time it was Ueno Ai-sami who regained the title. This year, Suzuki once again became a challenger and achieved three encounters. This time, before challenging Ueno Aisami for the third time, she conducted an interview with Suzuki Bu.
——It's about to be a game of chess, how are you feeling now?
Suzuki Bu: The third time is already a normal heart, last year and the year before I was a bit confused. If I am too focused on the result, I can't play chess well, and I think it is enough to face it normally.
After feeling like a challenger, you said, "I was very happy with Ueno Aisami twice, and I am very happy to be back on this stage again."
Suzuki: It's true, after all, I'm a chess player who values real and empty, so I often rely on defense. This feature is even more pronounced when playing against Aimi Ueno. Ueno's attack is very strong, even if it is a slow hand, the opponent will start attacking from unexpected places, so it is necessary to bite the opponent at all times. In this way, I can also play my strength very well, which is very happy.
——What preparations did you make against Fanqi?
Suzuki: If you play against Aimi Ueno, life or death is very critical, and after becoming a challenger, you ask yourself to do more dead and alive questions every day.
- Has there been any research on the layout?
Suzuki: I haven't decided on this aspect yet, I need to use the strength of my husband (Lin Hanjie Yadan) and then do a little tactic.
--Finally, please tell us about your ambitions for this game.
Suzuki: After winning the first set last year, I relaxed. Therefore, this year, whether you win or lose, you must play a good game of chess in front of you.
