Chapter 462
The director switched the camera at the right time.
The live situation of the tenth shogi table—the duel between Natsume Chikage and Tian Bian Youren—was broadcast in a prominent position on the big screen.
Male commentator Jing Shang Ya San looked at this split-screen image, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
He had seen this high school student player Tian Bian Youren in other tournaments before, and at that time felt that this teenager was clean and handsome, and could be considered a little handsome.
But now, when Tian Bian Youren and Natsume Chikage sat on both sides of the same shogi table, the gap in appearance and aura was revealed without doubt; it was no exaggeration to say it was a world of difference.
Of course, this kind of thought that purely belonged to personal perception was obviously inappropriate in the commentary booth of a professional tournament.
Jing Shang Ya San didn't say this out loud, but picked up the player information at hand and analyzed it in a professional tone:
"According to the information, the age of this player Tian Bian Youren and player Natsume Chikage is very close, and it can even be said that they are both active high school students."
"It is also truly interesting to meet in the third round."
"Among the many participating players, two male high school students who are also studying shogi can randomly match together and become direct opponents."
Female commentator Nan Tiao Wu Zi smiled and took the conversation:
"That's true."
"At the age of being a high school student, being able to participate in such a large-scale tournament and both breaking into the third round, one can imagine that both of them are not to be underestimated in terms of strength."
"I think these two young players will definitely be able to present us with a wonderful game."
Jing Shang Ya San adjusted his glasses, but the conversation turned:
"However... it is also very likely to present a one-sided situation."
Nan Tiao Wu Zi showed a look of surprise at the right time:
"Mr. Jing Shang, why do you say that?"
Jing Shang Ya San pondered and pointed to the data on the information:
"I just carefully looked at the battle record of player Tian Bian, and it can only be described as 'amazing'."
"He officially started systematic shogi learning in his first year of high school and joined the Shogi Association."
"Subsequently, he soared all the way with a high winning rate of nearly 75%, and in just one year, he quickly promoted from no rank to 3rd grade in the shogi association."
"According to this winning rate and promotion speed, I can conclude that player Tian Bian's true strength is likely to exceed the title of 3rd grade in the shogi association!"
"It can be said that if it weren't for the strict time interval restrictions of the Shogi Association's promotion system, this player would probably have reached a higher position long ago."
Nan Tiao Wu Zi cooperated by covering her lips slightly, revealing a surprised look:
"That is indeed the case."
"Usually, if a shogi player's winning rate is stable in the range of 45% to 55%, it means that his strength basically matches his current rank."
"And once the winning rate exceeds this range, it often means that this player still possesses huge potential, and his strength is far from reaching the top."
Jing Shang Ya San nodded heavily, strengthening his tone:
"Exactly so."
"That's why I said that this match might appear one-sided."
"Although player Natsume Chikage defeated player Tian Feng, who was 5th grade in the shogi association, in the previous round..."
"But anyone can see that player Natsume won that match very hard, and the process was quite reluctant."
Nan Tiao Wu Zi also had a complex expression on her face and analyzed:
"That is indeed the case."
"Facing player Tian Feng was already so difficult, let alone playing against player Tian Bian, who has an amazing winning rate and greater potential."
"And according to the records, player Tian Bian can basically achieve a quick victory when playing against opponents with strength below 3rd grade in the shogi association."
"Looking at it this way, this match really has a high possibility of appearing one-sided."
Jing Shang Ya San leaned forward slightly and pointed out the key with a more solemn tone: ===== CHAPTER 463 =====
