Chapter 403: Almost God

Pyongyang, inside the broadcast room.

"Xiao Fei!?"

A young man was so shocked that he almost broke his voice: "Yu Shao's move was actually flying?"

Even An Hongshi, who had been relatively calm until then, was stunned when he saw Yu Shao's move on the TV screen.

The white chess pieces' shape is already impeccable, and it is foreseeable that what is coming soon will be a counterattack by the white chess pieces like a raging wave!

Therefore, now it is Black's turn to make a move, and Black must make up for the pieces no matter what. If he does not, he will have no chance in the future. Once White attacks, the situation will be like a collapse!

but!

At this critical moment, not only did the black chess piece not make any additional moves, it even used this last breathing opportunity to play the small flying piece, showing its readiness to fight the white chess piece to the death!

Others didn't even dare to breathe, staring intently at the intricate chess game on the TV screen that was filled with endless murderous intent!

Fourteen columns and fourteen rows, Xiaofei!

…

London, UK.

"I thought that Yu Shao would make a very solid defense here. I also thought that he would give up the middle and eat up all the dead white pieces, and then make use of the empty space on the side. I even thought that he would give up pieces again, which would create the possibility of a change..."

A chestnut-haired, blue-eyed man had cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and his back was already wet with sweat without him noticing.

"But I never expected that this move was made by Xiao Fei."

"He actually continued to attack."

…

There was also silence in the broadcasting room of the Southern Chess Academy.

"Compared to other offensive methods..."

After a long time, Zheng Qin slowly said, "Xiao Fei, it seems a little strange, as if there is another deeper meaning."

"indeed."

Someone stared at the TV screen, his face full of disbelief, and nodded with difficulty.

"This move seems to be a bad one, but it also feels like it has a deeper meaning, as if there is a follow-up move. However, I can't think of what this deeper meaning is."

Wu Zhixuan stared at the TV screen in a daze and said hesitantly, "It makes people feel a little...terrified when they think about it carefully."

"But, this is impossible, right?"

At this time, Le Haoqiang shook his head, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, looked at the chessboard and analyzed: "The shape of the white chess pieces has been completely filled, and there is no gap."

"On the contrary, it was the black pieces' previous strong attack that caused many breakpoints and unstable chess positions. Now the black pieces are trying to forcefully kill the white pieces, which is like hitting a rock with an egg. Even a god can't do it!"

"I don't deny that Yu Shao is very strong, far stronger than I am, but if the black chess piece can really defeat the white chess piece here... that would be a legend, right?"

After hearing what Le Haoqiang said, no one in the broadcast room refuted.

Le Haoqiang's analysis is very objective and without any bias. In such a situation, it seems that the black pieces cannot compete with the white pieces in any way.

Even though the black player made a move that made them feel was a little treacherous and had a hidden backhand, it was still difficult to change their judgment!

Or to take a step back, even if the black player Xiao Fei really has a far-reaching backhand, everyone feels from the bottom of their hearts that there is absolutely no possibility of overturning the board!

At this moment, Xu Zijin's eyes suddenly changed. He looked at the TV screen and reminded, "Su Yiming made his move!"

Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses instantly and immediately turned their eyes to the computer screen.

Eight columns and ten rows, charge!

"Rush?"

Zheng Qin exhaled lightly and said, "It's a familiar move. Su Yiming's chess moves are as unrestrained, magnificent, and gorgeous as always, and... calm."

"Here, we need to directly form external pressure to trap the black pieces, and use a large formation like high banks and deep valleys to threaten the black pieces."

"Not only that, even though the chess pieces were already solid, Su Yiming did not take action directly. Instead, he exerted pressure on the black chess pieces from a distance and made another extremely cautious move."

Zheng Qin paused, then continued, "However, Go is very dangerous because it is too mysterious. Among the myriad changes in Go, no matter how strong a person is, he may not necessarily be the winner."

"The stronger your Go skills, the more you will feel awe for the game."

"Even if you have all the advantages, you may succumb to unexpected storms, even Su Yiming is no exception."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Zheng Qin in surprise.

Le Haoqiang frowned and asked, "So, do you think Yu Shao... can really defeat the white chess pieces?"

"No, to be honest, I don't think so."

Zheng Qin shook his head with an extremely serious expression. He stared at the chess game on the TV screen without blinking and said, "Even if he is Yu Shao, I don't think he can really do it."

"The general trend cannot be violated. The general trend right now is on White. The best Black can do is to hold on until the endgame, where they will fight to the death."

"Black's choice is tantamount to fighting alone. Facing a million-strong army, it is of course impossible."

"but--"

Zheng Qin changed the subject, staring at the TV screen, and continued: "But, because he is Yu Shao, even though I am extremely sure about the situation of this chess game, I still have hope."

“It’s like when I was a kid, even though I knew the legend was fake, I still hoped in my heart that there really were gods living on the mountain.”

"What if there really are gods?"

"I want to know..."

"What if, in this game, Black really has some magical means to make the overall situation more favorable?"

"Yu Shao, do you really have such a god-like back-up plan, or is it just bluffing?"

The moment Zheng Qin finished speaking, the black chess piece fell on the board again on the TV screen!

Eight columns and fifteen rows, clip!

There was silence in the broadcast room. Everyone looked at the chessboard in fear, waiting for the outcome of this thrilling game!

…

Hands talking indoors.

Seeing Yu Shao holding the black piece and placing it at the eighth column and fifteenth row, Su Yiming's expression became extremely solemn. After a long time, he took out the chess piece again and gently placed it down.

"Now, the situation is on my side."

"My chess moves don't have any breakpoints, and there's no danger of life or death. There's even no possibility of being beaten into a stupid position."

Su Yiming stared at the chessboard, thinking in his mind while waiting for Yu Shao to make his move.

"If he attacks my left side, I will attack my right side and create a transition."

"If he wants to attack and make up for the black pieces, then I will just interrupt and cut off the black pieces' retreat!"

"No matter what, the general trend cannot be changed!"

"but."

Although he kept telling himself this in his mind, Su Yiming's expression became more and more solemn, as if he could feel the pressure and momentum coming from the other side of the chessboard.

"That hand of Xiaofei... is it really... impossible?"

"If it is possible, then, Yu Shao, how exactly are you going to do it?"

"tell me!"

Su Yiming's eyes flickered.

"More than 180 years ago, when my chess skills reached their peak, although I never lost a game, I never thought that I was invincible."

"But, although I don't think I'm invincible, I also don't think I'm weak!"

"In this situation, if your opponent is an ordinary chess player, the overall situation may be changed. However, in this game, your opponent is me!"

"It's not Shen Yi, but... the one who is above Shen Yi, Su Yiming!"

While Su Yiming was waiting for Yu Shao to make his next move, he also lowered his head and stood from the perspective of Yu Shao's black chess pieces, constantly deducing the changes in the game.

That Xiao Fei move was indeed a bit strange, ferocious yet with a certain subtlety.

However, even he believed that it was impossible to change the current situation.

It's not just based on the judgment of the situation, but also because, in this game of chess, he is the one playing the white chess pieces!

"It's really impossible... But maybe, deep down in my heart, I also secretly hope that he can really change."

Su Yiming looked at the extremely complicated chess game in front of him, and finally raised his head and looked at Yu Shao opposite him.

At this moment, an extremely strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

He actually began to expect that his opponent Yu Shao could really turn the tide.

“I want to win.”

"But, on the other hand, I hope to see from him a realm that I have never reached, to see him make moves that are beyond my reach, and to play chess that is almost like a god."

To the seeker, it all seems like...

If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.

"Yu Shao, what exactly are you going to do?"

"Let me open my eyes and take a good look, Yu Shao."

Finally, Yu Shao reached into the chess box again, picked out the black piece, and put it down gently.

“…”

Su Yiming collected his thoughts and was not surprised to see Yu Shao's move: "Suppress it?"

Soon, Su Yiming picked out the white chess piece again and put it down immediately.

Ten columns and fifteen rows, long!

"I'm going to suppress the black pieces below, then the black pieces will be helpless no matter what!"

Yu Shao squeezed out the black piece again!

clatter!

Fifteen columns and twelve rows, pounce!

"it's useless!"

Su Yiming picked out the white piece without hesitation: "Even if I tighten my grip, there are still enough eye positions!"

clatter.

clatter.

clatter.

Black and white pieces kept falling on the chessboard with a clattering sound!

Time goes by and there are more and more chess pieces!

"What's going on?"

Looking at the chessboard, Su Yiming's pupils shrank suddenly, and sweat broke out on his forehead for the first time. He couldn't help but clench his left fist, picked up the chess piece again, and dropped it immediately.

As the situation became more complex and intense, more and more people fell into silence.

A small number of people seemed to realize something, and their eyes were filled with shock without them knowing when!

At this moment, Yu Shao picked out the black piece and put it on the plate again!

"this……"

Su Yiming stared at the chessboard in front of him in a daze.

…

At this time, the entire network had completely exploded, and the live broadcast room was even more boiling!

“I don’t quite understand.”

"White's position is already set in stone. Black can't move it at all!"

"But...but Yu Shao's retreat was quite clever. After it was played, the black pieces showed signs of a counterattack."

"Su Yiming's move was originally a good one, but for some reason, not only did it not achieve the desired effect, but it also seemed unusually clumsy!"

The game of chess continues.

But the more they watched, the more questions popped up in everyone's minds.

At this point, it was completely beyond their comprehension!

Even Zhu Huaian and Zhang Dongchen, who were in the studio at this moment and were responsible for commentating the chess game, were looking at the game with shock on their faces, not knowing how to continue the commentary!

There is no other reason!

Because even they couldn't understand why the situation developed in this way!

Already, I don't understand it at all.

Suddenly, a Norwegian spectator looked at the chessboard and couldn't help but exclaimed: "After Yu Shaoding, the white chess has already appeared flawed!"

"Impossible, how is this possible!"

Seeing this move, some French audience members stood up from their computer chairs, their faces filled with horror!

"The white chess piece is bitten!"

"Counterattack!"

"Yu Shao, blow the horn of counterattack!"

"Black chess has already infiltrated!"

The chess game became more and more tense. Inside the chess discussion room, beads of sweat were dripping down Su Yiming's face.

He held the chess piece between his legs and fell down again.

Thirteen columns and ten rows, stab!

The chess piece fell on the board, making a crisp sound!

The moment the white chess piece fell, Yu Shao picked up the black chess piece and pressed it on the chessboard!

Thirteen columns and twelve rows!

flutter!

"Pounce in, White chess, there are signs of collapse!"

No one could watch this chess game calmly anymore, and everyone's heart was filled with unimaginable shock!

At this moment, everyone in the world couldn't help but stand up and look at the computer screen, watching every hair-raising move made by Yu Shaozi after that little flying move!

silence!

An unprecedented silence enveloped the whole world!

"how so."

In New York, USA, a group of young professional chess players stared at the TV screen, unable to stay calm!

"The situation on the plate has become very subtle!"

Under the watchful eyes of the world, the black and white pieces continue to make their moves alternately.

Soon, another black chess piece fell!

Eight columns and seventeen rows, retreat!

"Retreat! Yu Shao has taken the initiative, and Su Yi knows that he is now in the back seat!"

At the Northern Chess Academy, all the professional chess players felt a little dry in the mouth. Even swallowing their saliva was extremely difficult, and they were completely unable to take their eyes away from the chess board!

Qin Lang stared at the TV screen in shock: "Su Yiming's block was already very good, but why, why did Yu Shao still get the upper hand?"

On the side, Peng Zeyang was speechless, with cold sweat dripping down his cheeks.

"can't read……"

The chess pieces continue to fall.

Time passes by little by little.

Tokyo, Japan!

"Yu Shao has completely penetrated in. The penetration flow is against the appearance flow. Yu Shao has the upper hand and is unstoppable!"

The short student stared at the TV screen. He felt a little weak all over and shouted excitedly, "So cool! So cool!"

A group of professional chess players standing by stared at the chess game in amazement, and they were unable to utter a word!

Shock!

Confused!

Yu Shao made a big jump, and the two sides came into close combat in an instant. The situation on the board became extremely urgent. This fight with up to 300 targets seemed to have come to the decisive moment!

Su Yiming's sticking and blocking was a calm and tough move, but after Yu Shao's big jump, a large area of white chess pieces became extremely heavy. Although there was no danger of life and death, there was no effective means to counterattack!

Yu Shao lowered his eyes to look at the chessboard, reached into the chess box again, and picked out the black piece!

clatter!

The chess piece falls on the board again!

Seven columns and fourteen rows, awesome!

Su Yiming's face was a little pale. He stared at the chessboard absentmindedly, and the sweat on his face slowly flowed down!

He really hoped deep down that Yu Shao could really perform a miracle, but when the miracle really happened, all he felt was disbelief!

"The general trend—"

“It’s a complete reversal!”
