On March 31, Zhongyi Became the Youngest Challenger in History at the Age of 13 years and 0 months in the Women's Celebrity Battle. Nakai Niwa niwa and Fujisawa Rishi celebrities were interviewed at the Japanese chess academy before and after. The two will compete for a trifecta on April 14, 16 and 20.
This time, Zhongyi was 3 years younger than in 2014, when he won the female liuben in 2014 at the age of 11 months, Zhongyi said: "I didn't expect to be able to reach the title battle so soon, I am very happy." He also added: "This time I can play against Mr. Fujisawa, and I hope to do my best not to leave regrets."
In this celebrity battle, Zhongyi won 5 consecutive wins in the preliminary round and entered the circle of circulation. After defeating his opponent in the first round of the round-robin circle, he lost to this year's female flow chess jihadist challenger Suzuki Buchidan in the second round, and won the top spot after 1 win and 1 loss. "In the third game, I defeated Mr. Xie Yimin, which made me feel a lot more confident", and then defeated Aiko Ueno Beauty Ryugi, "I feel that the later game has become a little more confident", after 5 wins and 1 loss, Zhongyi looked back.
Nakai and Fujisawa often practiced chess together at the seminar, and Nakai smiled bitterly and said, "Usually I am very good, and our relationship is also very good." Then Fujisawa Rishi's chess piece is also very strong, and his character is also very worthy of my respect, which is a teacher I admire very much. I played nearly 20 games with Rishi Fujisawa as if I had only won 2 games." Facing the three chess pieces, Zhongyi Said: "I am very much looking forward to it", and then added, "Playing three chess games with the top teachers, you can play at least 2 games of chess." I hope I can play three times as hard as I can. It's going to be really tough in terms of strength, and hopefully I'll find a feel in this game."
Finally, when the reporter asked: "What do you want to eat to celebrate after getting the challenger", Zhongyi said with a smile: "I want to eat barbecue meat".
After that, Fujisawa Also came to the interview site, she said that she knew Nakai when she was 4 or 5 years old: "When she was a child, her aura was different, and I know that she will definitely become very strong in the future." This time, after she became a challenger, I thought it was incredible." Expressed his own very mixed feelings.
In the face of the three pieces of chess, Fujisawa Risai said: "There is no chance of winning, and Nakai is also gradually improving its strength this year." In addition, the usual practice chess and official competitions are also different. We don't know what's going to happen if we don't go to the official game." While expressing his displeasure, he also said, "You are all paying attention to Zhongyi this time, so I feel that this time I am an overwhelming 'evil character'." But I'm also looking forward to this competition."
Fujisawa also said that he has been paying attention to Naka's chess game recently. "The average 13-year-old child has almost the ability to calculate the final set. However, Zhongyi's final calculation is very strong. And then I seem to like fighting."
Fujisawa Rishi also has a "respectable place" for Nakai Niwaji. The reason for this, Fujisawa Said: "What I respect most is the attitude towards Go, and it must be very hard to get the right to challenge at the age of 13." When I was 4 or 5 years old, I began to work hard until now, which is difficult for ordinary people to do. I also wish I could try as hard as she did."
