Chapter 273 My chess skills have not yet reached a higher level

In the review room where the Chinese team was, Gu Chuan looked at the TV screen, took a deep breath, and said with a complicated expression, "It's over. Ten consecutive wins."

"Ten consecutive victories in chess."

Le Haoqiang looked at the chess game on the table with a bewildered expression: "It's hard to imagine, he won't lose even if he plays ten games in a row?"

After hearing this, the others didn't know what to say for a moment.

Winning ten consecutive games is not difficult in terms of winning, but in terms of winning consecutively. Perhaps the ten players’ chess skills cannot reach the top level, but after ten games of fierce competition, it is difficult for anyone to withstand it.

More importantly, they had been waiting here for ten days, and they hadn't even played chess yet? Zhou Wei suddenly realized something, looked up at Su Yiming, who was still concentrating on the chessboard, and called out, "Su Yiming."

Su Yiming's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he finally turned his gaze away from the chessboard and looked at Zhou Wei.

"You must go play a game with him tomorrow. If it's you, I believe you can win and avenge the shame of the Hero Cup!"

Zhou Wei said seriously, "No matter what, he should be very tired!"

The eyes of the others also lit up. Someone shouted, "What do you mean tomorrow? Now, go now, immediately, right away!"

When Su Yiming heard this, a look of stupefaction emerged on his face. He looked at the chessboard on the table again. As he watched the game, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"I'm indeed looking forward to the next game with him."

Su Yiming looked at the chessboard quietly and said, "But not now, and definitely not tomorrow. If I really want to play chess with him at this moment, I hope my condition is the same as after playing ten games in a row."

"In short, the victory or defeat I hope for depends only on the strength of the two sides."

"Let's go."

Su Yiming withdrew his gaze from the chessboard again, smiled faintly, and said, "The game is over."

…

…

Hands talk indoors.

Yu Shao had just finished collecting his chess pieces and was about to stand up when the referee beside him finally came to his senses and seemed to remember something. He immediately said, "Yu Shao, second dan."

Hearing the referee calling his name, Yu Shao finally turned his head and looked at the referee.

"I know you are very tired, but you still have to go to the interview room and accept a simple post-match interview."

The referee suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He calmed down and said, "Reporters from all over the world have been waiting for ten days."

If the chess player has a chess competition tomorrow, he/she will not accept interviews during this process to avoid affecting his/her performance in the competition. He/she will have to wait until he/she loses before he/she can accept interviews.

As a result, reporters from various countries had to wait for ten days, which had never happened before in the history of chess competitions.

"good."

Yu Shao nodded immediately after hearing this and agreed: "I will go."

After saying this, Yu Shao turned his head and looked at Zeng Jun opposite him.

After Zeng Jun put away the chess pieces, he still sat in the chair without getting up, looking at the chessboard with his head down and saying nothing.

Yu Shao thought for a moment and said in English: "I'm looking forward to our future chess game."

Hearing this, Zeng Jun suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao.

Yu Shao nodded slightly to Zeng Jun, then turned around and left the chat room.

In this game, after he gained the upper hand, he originally thought that his big dragon could be saved, but he did not expect that Zeng Junqiang still climbed to the second line, gained the upper hand and started a robbing, and finally captured his big dragon.

Although it is not unacceptable to be killed in the big dragon, the big dragon's number of points is not too large and there are many borrowings, but if the value of the dead piece is not fully utilized, the game will be lost.

In other words, after the big dragon is killed, you can't make a single mistake.

Among the chess players that Yu Shao has played against so far, the only one who can kill his dragon is Zeng Jun, besides Su Yiming and Wu Zhixuan.

"Moreover, in the middle game of this game, it was obvious that Zeng Jun's perception of thickness had changed. He viewed my moves that might have been considered thick as isolated moves and even attacked them fiercely."

As Yu Shao walked towards the interview room, he was thinking about the chess game.

The world began to change.

Not long after, Yu Shao finally arrived at the door of the interview room of the chess academy. Looking into the interview room, he saw a group of reporters and cameramen of different skin colors pacing back and forth with anxious looks on their faces.

When they saw Yu Shao appear at the door of the interview room, the eyes of all the reporters suddenly lit up, and they immediately swarmed up with recorders and SLR cameras.

Soon, Yu Shao was surrounded from all sides.

"Excuse me, Yu Shao, 2nd Dan, what do you think of today's game?"

"I heard that you, Yu Shao, 2nd Dan, taught yourself how to play Go. Is this true?"

"Winning ten consecutive games in a chess match has never happened before. Yu Shao 2nd Dan has now won ten consecutive games, which is really impressive. Do you have anything to say about this, Yu Shao 2nd Dan?"

Although the reporters had different skin colors and nationalities, since they were sent to China for interviews, they all knew Chinese, so there was no need for an interpreter.

The reporters' questions came one after another. Although Yu Shao was a little tired, he still patiently answered them one by one.

Soon, another reporter asked in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Yu Shao, 2nd Dan, the ten rules of Go require 'entering the boundary slowly'. Your move of shoulder-to-no-worry corner was groundbreaking and completely violated this principle."

"Not only the shoulder charge to Wuyoujiao, but also the three-three and the small-eye charge, and even the charge when facing the demon sword, all these moves were made by you, which are amazing and hard to imagine."

"I believe that not only I, but many people are curious about this. What do you think about the theory of Go, such as the Ten Go Decisions?"

Hearing this question, everyone immediately looked at Yu Shao. This was also the question they wanted to ask.

Yu Shao thought for a moment and said, "The ten rules of Go are not to be greedy for victory, to enter the boundary slowly, to attack the opponent while protecting oneself, to sacrifice pieces to gain the upper hand, to sacrifice small pieces for the greater, to sacrifice pieces when in danger, to be cautious and not to act rashly, to respond to the opponent's moves, to protect oneself when the opponent is strong, and to seek a draw when the opponent is isolated."

After saying that, Yu Shao paused and said with a smile: "But I think there should be a new ten decisions in Go."

After hearing this, the entire interview room fell silent.

All the reporters seemed to have sensed something and stared at Yu Shao closely, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"Be determined to win, enter the territory deeply, attack the opponent without thinking of yourself, sacrifice pieces to kill others, both big and small, fight when in danger, be cool in speed, do not respond to the opponent's strong attack, and be alone and broken."

Yu Shao looked at the reporters and spoke again: "This will be the new Go Ten Finals."

After hearing these words, the entire interview room suddenly became quieter.

After a long time, a reporter finally came to his senses, silently wrote down the new ten Go decisions, and then continued to ask Yu Shao other questions.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Yu Shao, second stage, may I ask..."

When asking the following questions, all the reporters were obviously distracted, with the new ten Go decisions constantly echoing in their minds.

Everyone knows what it means——

The new ten Go decisions will be a complete subversion of traditional Go theories. The voice of this post-match interview is destined to echo throughout the Go world.

A group of reporters looked at Yu Shao with mixed feelings.

"He is only seventeen years old, still young, how far will he go in the future?"

There was only one Chinese reporter present, the rest were reporters from other countries, but without exception, they all had an inexplicable expectation for Yu Shao.

Not long after, the interview finally ended, and a group of reporters left the interview room one after another. Looking at the sky which was already getting dark, they felt a little emotional for a moment.

“Perhaps, a new era is coming.”

In the interview room, the interview was finally over and the reporters were leaving one after another. Yu Shao turned around and was about to leave the interview room when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Yu Shao, second stage."

Yu Shao stopped and looked behind him, and found that the person who called him was the only Chinese reporter in the interview room, a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Chairman Ma just sent me a WeChat message, asking me to ask if you would be willing to be a commentator for a day in the second chess game that will be held soon," the Chinese reporter asked with a smile.

Yu Shao was a little surprised and asked, "Explanation?"

"right."

The reporter nodded and said, "Generally speaking, in order to attract more attention, commentators will invite well-known high-level chess players. But there shouldn't be any chess players more popular than you right now, right?"

"The Go Academy wants you to commentate on a Go game. Not only will it be more popular, but it will also symbolize the inheritance of Go. Are you willing?"

The reporter smiled and said, "Of course, there is an appearance fee, and from what I understand, it seems to be very high."

"It should be fine."

Yu Shao thought for a moment and asked again, "Have the players for the second game been decided?"

“It’s confirmed.”

The reporter smiled and said, "Zhang Dongchen, the Go Saint, Chen Shan, the 9th Dan, Kong Zi, the Master, Chu Jingfeng, the 9th Dan, Zhu Huaian, the Go Saint, Fu Shunan, the Great Go Player, Fan Shengjie, the 9th Dan, Jiang Changdong, the National Player, Lu Bo, the 9th Dan, and Zhuang Weisheng, the 10th Dan."

"I will notify you one day in advance. Yu Shao, you should take a good rest during this time."

The reporter smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work during these ten days, Yu Shao Erdan."

"good."

Yu Shao nodded, said goodbye to the reporter, and finally left the interview room.

After leaving the chess academy, Yu Shao did not go home directly, but returned to a hotel near the chess academy, preparing to have a good rest for a day and then go home the next day.

After returning to the hotel, Yu Shao simply washed up, sat on the bed, and finally let out a long breath.

After playing super slow chess for ten consecutive days, it was impossible for him not to feel tired. In fact, at one point he even felt that he could not hold on any longer.

"But the gains are not small. My sense of killing chess has become more acute."

These ten chess games flashed before Yu Shao's eyes like a revolving lantern, and he could clearly feel his own changes.

"But this alone is not enough. There is still a long way to go..."

"The world of Go is so profound that even if you play a million games, you still can't figure out the mysteries. Although the answers are on the board, I still can't see them clearly."

"My chess skills have not yet reached a higher level."
