Chapter 178 I feel that what he plays is a bit far from Go

"What is he laying?"

"Here, how can I take off my clothes?"

Before, when Da Fei was guarding the corners and the tips, even if they were not good, Wang Yao could fully understand the intention of those moves. It was just that out of a hundred points, he could only score 60 or 70 at most.

But this move of escaping was completely beyond his understanding.

After thinking for a full ten minutes, Wang Yao finally lowered his right hand from his mouth, reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and then quickly placed it on the chessboard.

Yu Shao then reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece and put it down.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

The sounds of pieces falling began to be heard one after another.

Time passes by every second.

Not long after.

"I….."

Wang Yao stared at the chessboard in despair. After a long while, he lowered his head, uttered a few words with difficulty, and said with his head down: "I lost..."

"Thanks for your advice."

Yu Shao lowered his head and said to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao stared at the chessboard in a daze. After a moment, he finally seemed to come to his senses and said in return: "Thank you for your advice."

Seeing that Wang Yao had resigned and the game was over, Yu Shao stretched out his hand and prepared to start clearing the chessboard.

At this moment, Wang Yao suddenly said, "No need, just... leave it like this, I'll collect the chess pieces later."

Yu Shao was stunned, but since Wang Yao said so, he naturally would not refuse. He nodded, then stood up and walked towards the referee.

Soon, Yu Shao reported his results to the referee, then turned and left the game room.

After Yu Shao left, Wang Yao still sat there, staring at the chessboard, in a daze.

…

…

"I lost..."

Du Shuang stared at the chessboard in front of him, gritted his teeth, and lowered his head to the boy sitting opposite him, who was two years younger than him, and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Baihe is a sixteen-year-old boy with shaggy hair and fair skin.

Seeing Du Shuang admit defeat, he heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his face, then bowed his head and said in return: "Thank you for your advice."

After the two of them cleaned up the chessboard, Bai He stood up from his seat, walked towards the referee, and went to report the results.

Du Shuang looked at the chessboard in front of him, sighed, then supported himself on the table with both hands, stood up shakily, and left the game room in embarrassment.

This game of chess completely drained his energy, but even so, in the end... he still failed to win.

“Is it right or wrong to become a professional chess player?”

As Du Shuang walked towards the cafeteria, he looked at his right hand which was covered with chess calluses, with a dazed expression.

"Even if I don't have enough talent, the fact that I have become a professional chess player is enough to prove that I am better than most people."

"I have put in so much effort and sweat, and I have been practicing until late at night every day..."

"Why?"

“Why isn’t there a good answer?”

Du Shuang couldn't help but clench his right hand into a fist. He sighed, feeling unwilling, but helpless about it.

In the midst of all the failures, he even felt that his love for Go was being worn away bit by bit.

Especially when I see one latecomer after another, who are obviously younger than me and became professional chess players later than me, but keep surpassing me, and I can never catch up no matter how hard I try.

"If I can't win, then why should I play chess?" Du Shuang felt a little confused for a moment.

At this moment, Du Shuang passed by the game room where the national team qualifying matches were being held. He was suddenly stunned and looked inside the game room.

Many people are still playing games, and of course, many people have already finished their games, and both sides of the table are now empty.

At table number ten, Wang Yao was the only one sitting there, staring blankly at the chessboard in front of him.

Du Shuang was a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, he walked into the game room, quickly came to Wang Yao's side, and then cast his eyes towards the chessboard.

Seeing the situation on the chessboard, Du Shuang's eyes became slightly stern.

On the chessboard, the black pieces are incredibly powerful, and are almost united in the killing of the pieces in the center, while the white pieces are torn apart, and the few spaces on the sides have been hollowed out by the black pieces, leaving almost nothing.

"It's the end... Kuroko has won."

Seeing the situation on the chessboard, Du Shuang frowned slightly. Originally, seeing Wang Yao still in the game room, he thought the game was not over yet, but Yu Shao went out to the toilet or go out for some fresh air.

As a result, this game of chess is over.

Seeing Wang Yao's distraught look, Du Shuang couldn't help laughing in his heart.

It's not like what he said, he doesn't really care about winning or losing.

"Wang Yao."

Du Shuang patted Wang Yao on the shoulder and whispered, "Stop watching. Let's go out for dinner?"

After being patted on the shoulder by Du Shuang, Wang Yaocai finally woke up from his dream. He turned his gaze from the chessboard and looked at Du Shuang.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Du Shuang whispered to comfort him: "If you lose, you lose. It's no big deal."

Hearing this, Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. He quickly put away the chess pieces on the board, then stood up, left the game room with Du Shuang, and walked towards the cafeteria.

"It feels bad to lose a game of chess, right?"

As Du Shuang walked, he couldn't help but teased, "I thought you really didn't care about winning or losing."

“I don’t take winning or losing to heart.”

Hearing this, Wang Yao was silent for a moment, shook his head, and denied it: "I was prepared to lose the game. If I didn't lose, how could I win?"

"But the way you looked just now didn't seem like you didn't care about winning or losing."

Du Shuang felt that Wang Yao was just being stubborn and said with a smile: "But what you said before also makes sense. You can always learn a lot from losing a game of chess. So what did you learn?"

"No……"

Wang Yao shook his head and said, "I didn't learn anything."

"You didn't learn anything?"

Du Shuang was a little puzzled and asked, "Even if you don't learn anything, you can still find your own shortcomings, right?"

"To be honest, when I was playing this game of chess, I felt that there was no way I could lose."

Wang Yao looked at Du Shuang and said in an inexplicable tone: "Because I feel that what he played is a bit far from Go..."

"What's the meaning?"

Du Shuang couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What do you mean by a little far from Go? I don't understand."

"Not only you don't understand, I don't understand either, so I have been thinking about this question just now."

Wang Yao sighed and said, "I misjudged the situation in the middle game and made a mistake. After he caught me, I was beaten all the way and had no power to fight back."

"So, I still can't figure out whether I lost because of this mistake, or..."

Wang Yao suddenly fell silent halfway through his words. After a long while, he continued speaking: "Still, it's not just because of this mistake."

…

…

Three days later.

Another round of national team qualifiers.

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard in front of him, reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and slowly put it down.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Da! Fourteen rows and ten columns, pounce! "Contrary to what I expected, he pounced right in. The white pieces below were so dangerous, how dare he ignore them?"

Seeing this move, the young man sitting opposite Yu Shao's expression changed slightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and temples.

"After he made the three-three move, I was clearly taking good care of myself from below, but he still destroyed my defense and caused damage to my strong position. I was not able to respond well. There was a clear gap in strength!"

He slowly reached into the chess box and took out the chess piece.

"If he does this, I'm really at risk of being slain by the dragon!"

The young man held the chess piece between his legs and dropped it with gritted teeth.

"But I also have a counterattack down there!"

Da! Eight columns and eighteen rows, jump! Yu Shao lowered his eyes and stared at the chessboard in front of him. After a moment, he clamped out the chess piece again and dropped it quickly! Da! Seven columns and twelve rows, clamp! Black and white pieces began to fall on the chessboard continuously.

The further he went down, the paler the young man's face became, and the sweat on his face had slowly turned from fine beads of sweat and was sliding down his face.

"When I expected him to do what I expected, he didn't do what I expected at all."

"But, just when I least expected him to do what I expected, every move he made was exactly what I expected!"

Seeing Yu Shao drop the chess piece again, the young man gritted his teeth, reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece again and dropped it.

And at the moment the black piece fell, Yu Shao followed closely and placed the white piece.

This move was still the one the young man least wanted to see Yu Shao make, and it cruelly shattered all his fantasies.

“Extremely accurate!”

The young man almost bit his teeth off. He reached his right hand into the chess box, picked up the chess piece from the box, and dropped it quickly.

Yu Shao also immediately placed his chess piece.

Da! Five columns and ten rows, suppress!

The sound of chess pieces falling on the board is like the sound of metal and stone.

“No…no mistakes!”

This was still the move that the young man was most reluctant to see. His left hand had been clenched into a fist, and his finger bones were creaking, as if he was wailing.

The young man placed his chess piece again.

Bang! Eighteen columns and thirteen rows, hit!

“Click.”

The moment the black piece fell, the sound of chess pieces colliding in the chess box rang out again.

The next moment, Yu Shao took out the white piece from the chess box and dropped it at high speed without any murderous intent.

Da! Eight columns and six rows, turn!

"Change...change of tactics?"

Seeing this move, the young man was stunned, and then his eyes lit up, as if he was trapped in a dark and cramped cave, crawling for a long time, and finally saw a ray of light.

but.

"etc--"

After the young man thought carefully about this move, he seemed to realize something. His pupils contracted instantly, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He stood up slightly uncontrollably.

"this……"

"If I get close to him, he pulls the trigger, I break it, and he jumps... The final result is——"

"My haters were...dispersed?"

"No, it's more than that..."

He looked at the chessboard, his pupils somewhat dilated.

At this moment, instead of landing here, he even hoped that Yu Shao would still land in the position he didn't want to see! The young man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

He reached his right hand into the chess box again, as if trying to pick up the chess piece from the box again, but... in the end he failed to do so.

At the very end, the young man lowered his head and said weakly: "I, lost..."

Hearing this, Yu Shao looked at the young man opposite with some surprise.

Is he giving up now? Although the black piece is indeed at a disadvantage, the black piece still has a chance to fight back, and the outcome is still undecided. If he were to play the black piece, he would never give up in this situation.

However, since his opponent had admitted defeat, Yu Shao naturally would not say anything. After quickly exchanging greetings with his opponent, he packed up his chess pieces, stood up, and looked at the referee who was watching the game nearby.

Today's referee was the taller referee who played in Yu Shao's first national team qualifying match. When he saw Yu Shao looking at him, he nodded, indicating that he knew the outcome.

Seeing the referee nod, Yu Shao turned around and left the game room.

The referee looked at the young man, who was still sitting in his seat and seemed to be calming down, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Normally speaking, this situation will continue."

But thinking back on the game, he could no longer blame the young man for making a move directly on the board.

"But after seeing that crutch, Qiu Kaizhi has... lost all his fighting spirit."

"After that move, the white pieces on the board came alive instantly. The white pieces that were about to die were brought back to life and became extremely powerful. They even broke up the black pieces' formation..."

In the game room, many chess players who were playing games also noticed Yu Shao's departing back and felt a strong sense of urgency.

"For a player who has just become a beginner, it is normal to lose six or seven games in a row, and even more than ten games in a row is not uncommon."

"But...he has won three games in a row."

"Qiu Kaizhi, 2nd Dan, has been performing so well recently, but he was defeated by him!"
