"I didn't expect to reach this height in only 3 years after becoming a professional chess player", on March 31, Zhongyi Erdan became the fastest chess player to obtain the title challenge at the age of 13 years and 0 months. People who had previously paid attention to Zhongyiyan were also amazed at the speed of progress of Zhongyiyi.

Zhang Xujiuduan, the coach of the Japanese national Go team and has practiced against Zhongyi many times, said: "In the critical situation, Zhongyi's attention is very concentrated. Then the calculation level is also very strong, and I feel that the sense of chess at the key point of winning or losing is very good. The strength of Zhongyi before the fixed period is enough to shock us, and after becoming a professional chess player, Zhongyiyi is also constantly improving."
In addition, Kobayashi Jue, who decided to set the paragraph of Zhongyi, said: "Now whether it is black or white, there is its own set of ways to win, and the content of the chess game has become very good. I thought we would have to wait another year to challenge the title, but I didn't expect to take 3 years after becoming a professional chess player, and this growth rate is really shocking."
This time, the opponent of the title battle, Fujisawa Rishi, currently holds the female stream celebrity at the same time, as well as the female stream Honinfang, the female stream Tachibana Cup, etc., the first Japanese woman to hold 4 of the 5 Japanese women's titles. Zhang Xu said: "Now There may still be a gap in strength between Zhongyi and Fujizawa, but Zhongyi is a chess player who can withstand the pressure and play extraordinary in the competition. I think she has a chance to get the title, no matter what, this title battle is also a very valuable experience for the future Zhongyiyi."
