Chapter 311: This game of chess reveals the secret (two in one)
Facing this move that seemed to have an absolute advantage, Yu Shao's choice was beyond everyone's expectations. White did not stick to it, but chose to attack from the outside! After a moment, Li Junhe gritted his teeth, picked up the chess piece, and dropped it again.
Da! Four columns and sixteen rows, break through!
At this point, since the white pieces will not respond, then the black pieces' next move to break through is almost inevitable, and they can only break through!
This move directly divides the white pieces. A white piece on the third row has been captured by the black piece and is in danger of life and death!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, quickly picked up the chess piece and put it down quickly.
Four columns and fifteen rows, block! Da, da, da...
On the chessboard, chess pieces began to fall like raindrops.
"The white piece below has been surrounded by me, and the black pieces in the lower left corner have made huge gains!"
Li Junhe stared at the chessboard intently, without any relaxation on his face.
"But if I attack directly and kill the white piece, I will obviously be the one in the back position. The white piece can choose not to respond, and the black piece will not be too satisfied either. Therefore, I must seize the initiative!"
Thinking of this, Li Junhe picked out the black piece again and dropped it quickly.
Two columns and fourteen rows, turn outward!
As soon as Li Junhe placed his chess piece, Yu Shao quickly picked out his white piece and placed it on the board.
Two columns, thirteen rows, it’s turned! “It’s turned!”
Li Junhe's expression was not surprised at all. He had already calculated the subsequent changes in the board, and his expression became more focused.
"I will go straight up and split the white pieces. The white pieces will definitely capture. I am ahead. The white pieces on the second line will not give up and will definitely climb up!"
"Then, the white piece captures the two black pieces on the periphery, blocking the three black pieces in the corner to form a combination. One of the two pieces must be won!"
"but--"
Li Junhe finally reached into the chess box again, and the chess pieces suddenly collided with a "click" sound! "I can go to the bottom to save the three black pieces and kill the white piece, but if the white piece wants to capture the two black pieces outside me, it must use a chess conquest move!"
"In this way, I have the upper hand!"
Li Junhe picked up the chess piece and moved it quickly!
Da! Three columns and thirteen rows, cut! On the other side, seeing the black chess piece fall, Yu Shao also quickly placed the white piece.
Four columns and thirteen rows, hit! Black chess, three columns and twelve rows, long!
White chess, two columns and twelve rows, crawl!
Several moves in a row were exactly as Li Junhe had expected. These were the best responses for the white pieces in this area. Any wrong move could lead to eternal damnation! "Here, the white pieces are in a perfect match. If I save the bottom piece, the top piece will be destroyed!"
The next moment, Li Junhe picked out the chess piece again.
"However, although the two black pieces above were captured, the future point above is the first move. These two dead pieces can also be borrowed by the captured pieces. More importantly... I got the first move! Da! Two columns and sixteen rows, attack! This move directly kills the white pieces that were previously separated in the corner. The next move of the white pieces can only go to the top to kill the two black pieces on the periphery, otherwise the white pieces will collapse immediately! Soon, Yu Shao placed his chess piece.
Three columns and nine rows, capture! One piece falls, and the two black pieces on the periphery are left with only one breath, which means they are doomed to fail. These two black pieces occupy a good position and are of great value. Once they are surrounded and killed by the white pieces, it will be a huge loss for the black pieces.
But Li Junhe's expression did not change at all. He immediately picked up the chess piece and dropped it quickly.
Da! Twelve columns and sixteen rows, hit!
Li Junhe chose to give up the first move! He completely let the two black pieces on the periphery be captured by the white pieces and chose to abandon them. In other words, when he made the move before, he had already decided to let the two black pieces die!
A lack of patience will ruin great plans.
For the sake of the overall plan, sometimes it is destined to pay the price of blood!
"Loss and gain, life and death... Lee Joon Hyuk's move in the lower left corner fully demonstrates the magic of Go."
The music notator was writing the music while silently looking at the chessboard. She was watching the game as if she were watching a battle. The moves of both sides were filled with intrigue and deception.
"Once the white piece grabs the long piece in the lower right corner, not only will the black piece be dead, but the potential of the white piece in the center will also expand dramatically. The black piece, at the cost of the death of two black pieces at the key points on the sidelines, has gained the upper hand!"
"This move has solved the siege in the lower right corner!"
At this time, Li Junhe was opposite.
Yu Shao lowered his eyelids and looked at the chessboard in front of him. The chess game with black and white lines and hidden murderous intentions was reflected in his eyes.
Click.
After a moment, Yu Shao finally reached his right hand into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and slowly put it down.
Da! Twelve columns and three rows, jump! Li Junhe was slightly startled when he saw this move.
"Go back to the top to make up the pieces?"
…
…
Inside the Japanese seminar room.
"Jump, strengthen yourself. It's not bad, but it's a bit slow."
When Onishi Jingchuan saw the position where the white piece fell on the TV screen, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this time, Shunichi Murakami also picked out the chess piece and placed it simultaneously at the position of twelfth column and third row.
After a moment's silence, Murakami Shunichi nodded and said, "It will be a bit troublesome for the black pieces to break in, but the black pieces should not have any harsh methods. It would be better if we attack the black pieces directly."
On the side, Fujiwara Terajima frowned, staring at the chessboard, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Terajima, what's wrong?"
Murakami Shunichi noticed this, turned his head to look at Fujiwara Terajima, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Although I get angry when I think of his arrogant attitude at the opening ceremony, but... he didn't care about the chess moves that didn't seem so good before."
Fujiwara Terajima hesitated for a moment, but continued, "In the end, it was Kuroko who was caught in a dilemma."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Besides, don't you think it's a little weird?"
Fujiwara Terajima stared at the TV screen and said without turning his head: "All his chess records prove that he is an attacking chess player who competes with strength and calculation."
"But in this game, he didn't have any moves that could be called killer moves, and he seemed to have no idea about how to deal with the black dragon."
Just as Fujiwara Terajima's voice fell, on the TV screen, Lee Jun Hyuk fell with Kuroko in his arms!
Seventeen columns and twelve rows, tear it down!
"Li Junhe begins to attack the white piece in the lower right corner!"
Seeing this move, everyone had no time to think about Fujiwara Terajima's words. Their eyes were focused on the TV screen, and they felt the sense of life and death on the chessboard! The white pieces on the top were reinforced, and the black pieces could no longer attack, so they turned their guns around, forcing the white pieces in the lower right corner, and forming a siege with the black pieces on the left wing, taking the lead in killing the white pieces! Soon, on the TV screen, the white pieces fell again.
Seventeen columns, seventeen rows, three threes! "Ignore the black chess attack and go straight to three threes?"
Seeing this move, everyone in the discussion room couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces, including Dongshan Xun, who had been silent.
"In this way, once the black piece is pulled back, if the white piece flies, the black piece will hold it down to prevent it from breaking through, and the white piece can only crawl. If the black piece is sharp, it may even kill the white piece!" Onishi Jingchuan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
On the chessboard, black and white pieces fall alternately.
As they watched, everyone's expressions changed.
"Faced with the black piece's sharp attack that destroyed the white piece's eye position, the white piece actually did not choose to respond, but instead ignored it and directly attacked the corner!"
Onishi Jingchuan looked at the TV screen, already breaking out in a cold sweat, his throat a little dry: "White's move seemed strong, but Black had no way to fight back!"
Dongshan Xun stared at the TV screen with shock on his face. Every move made by Yu Shao in the game emerged in his mind.
"He who replenishes himself when the enemy has nothing to do has the intention of invading and destroying him!"
Dongshan Xun suddenly realized something! "The previous jump was indeed slow, but now looking back, that move strengthened itself, stood above the nine heavens, and watched the black pieces' movements!"
"The black pieces in the upper left corner are helpless, and the black pieces in the upper right corner are being entangled by the white pieces. Although the black pieces below have formed a large space, they are forced down to a low position by the white pieces!"
"This game of chess may seem like a game without any killing, but in fact, every move contains murderous intent!"
At this moment, another white piece fell on the TV screen.
Twelve columns and four rows, sticky! Seeing Bai Zi's move, Dongshan Xun's pupils shrank slightly, and he had already seen the end in advance!
"Heizi, it's collapsed!"
…
…
at this time.
Inside the market commentary room.
"If the white piece chooses to stick, then the black piece's next move will be a strong counterattack, which can directly cut off the white piece!"
On the stage, Liu Duohui explained while showing the subsequent changes: "The black piece rushes down, the white piece captures, the black piece sticks, and then..."
Halfway through her words, Liu Duohui suddenly froze, and then cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her voice stopped abruptly.
The people in the audience looked at this scene and looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know why Liu Duohui suddenly stopped talking while she was speaking.
Everyone looked at the chessboard in confusion. After thinking for a while, someone finally seemed to realize something. Then, one, two, three... more and more people saw the mystery of the board! They stared at the board not far away, their hearts trembling.
Of course, there are still some people who frowned and were still confused.
"The white piece has a trick of jumping over the shackles, which can kill three black pieces."
At this time, Wen Longxuan, 9th Dan, who had been silent on the stage for a long time, finally spoke and broke the silence.
"Although it seems that both sides have three Qi, and it is Black's turn to play first, but... Black can't control White's Qi."
Wen Longxuan moved the chess pieces on the chessboard and said slowly while placing the chess pieces: "If the black piece squeezes, then the white piece has a sharp trick, and the black piece can only stick to it. If the white piece gathers its strength, it will eat the black piece to death."
Then, Moon Yong-hyun showed another variation: "If the black piece pushes all the way, the white piece can directly capture it. This capture is a trick that cannot be taken back, so the black piece can only stick to it."
"So, once the white piece is raised, the black piece can only defend. If the white piece returns to the periphery to gather strength, the black piece... will also be at a dead end."
After Wen Longxuan finished speaking, the whole audience suddenly fell silent!
A moment later, on the TV screen, Li Junhe finally made his move.
Fifteen columns and two rows, glue.
Since it is impossible to split the white pieces by rushing, the black pieces can only choose to stick to them.
Wen Longxuan took a deep breath, picked up a black piece and hung it on the plate.
And the moment the black piece fell, the white piece followed suit.
Seventeen columns and seven rows, pull! After seeing this move, Wen Longxuan was silent for a long time, and finally in silence, he picked up the white piece and hung it on the big board.
He did not explain these two moves because there was no need.
The whole place suddenly became quieter.
After seeing this move, Li Junhe hesitated to make a move. Time passed by minute by minute. During this time of waiting for Li Junhe to make a move, the commentary room remained silent.
Finally, after five minutes.
Under the gaze of everyone, on the TV screen, Li Junhe grabbed two black chess pieces from the chess box, reached out his hand to the chessboard, and slowly let go.
Ta, ta.
The sound of the two chess pieces falling on the board seemed to be able to be heard in the commentary room.
On the board, there are only chess pieces at the four corners and four sides, with a large empty space in the middle. However, the game is over.
Ninetieth move, Lee Jun Hyuk, resigned in the middle game...
quiet.
silence.
The entire market commentary room suddenly became extremely silent.
In professional Go competitions, among top players, there are not many games that end in less than a hundred moves, but they are not too rare either, and you can still see one occasionally.
However, those chess games are often a matter of life and death, and usually one is defeated by the opponent on a complex board.
But this game of chess is not a matter of life and death.
None of the black pieces were killed, and the entire board was alive. However, after the 90th move, the black pieces could no longer compete with the white pieces, so... they had to resign.
Not only the people in the commentary room, but everyone around the world who were watching this chess game fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the chess game that ended hastily after only ninety moves, and couldn't help but think of the chess game that Dongshan Xun played yesterday.
That game of chess was truly astonishing, with mysterious tricks hidden everywhere, brilliant ideas expressed in every move, and brilliant and ingenious moves one after another.
When Dongshan Xun made his 230th move, the chess pieces seemed to be glowing.
Giving up the three-disaster cycle, giving up half of the big dragon, one general's success comes at the cost of thousands of lives, and finally winning by seven and a half points. Such a shocking situation is enough to make all chess players in the world bow down.
This is an example in history where the first set of three rounds of fighting was used to determine the winner. There was no precedent before this.
Today's game of chess seems to form a sharp contrast with yesterday's game of chess.
The opponent is still Li Junhe, and in fact, in both games, Li Junhe played black first.
In the first game, both sides made continuous ingenious moves, and finally played a shocking and killing game that shocked the world. After 293 moves, the winner was finally decided.
The second game was filled with stupid, vulgar and slow moves. At least the whole game looked calm and uneventful, not even exciting. But... somehow the outcome was decided in just ninety moves.
The contrast between the two is so stark.
It is precisely because of this that the second game of chess brought a shock to everyone that was even greater than the first game!
"Before me, there was no chess game in the world that could be called a good game..."
Under the stage of the market commentary room, a bald middle-aged man suddenly repeated in a daze what Yu Shao said at the opening ceremony.
He seemed to have forgotten what he had said before, "Yu Shao's game today is definitely not as good as Dongshan Xun's."
Actually, you are right, it is indeed incomparable.
In terms of the excitement of the chess game, today's game can never be compared with yesterday's game, and it can even be said to be far inferior.
But precisely because of this, it is even more shocking.
Or rather...
Even more terrifying.
At one side, a young man in his twenties looked at the chessboard not far away and said blankly, "If this is true, then this game of chess seems..."
He paused, then continued, "It reveals the secret."
…
…
Grand Seoul Hotel, inside the press room.
"Ninety moves, the end."
A group of reporters stared at the TV screen with confused expressions.
"Yu Shao, wins."
They were full of expectations, thinking that this would be a thrilling battle. Even ten minutes ago, they were still wondering who would win or lose in the game and how they would write the report on the game.
As a result, just ten minutes later, the game came to an end. The end came so suddenly that they were unable to recover for a while.
"Yesterday's game... today's game..."
A reporter suddenly spoke hesitantly, but in the end, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long time, he finally asked with a confused look on his face: "If the game of chess yesterday was Dongshan Xun's... response to Yu Shao's words at the opening ceremony."
"So is today's game of chess Yu Shao's response to Dong Shanxun's game of chess yesterday?"
"If so, then... whose response is more powerful?"
No one answered in the press room.
…
…
At this time, in the Chinese seminar room.
Even in the Chinese seminar room, there was silence at this moment.
Zheng Qin, Xu Zijin, Wu Zhixuan and others all stared at the TV screen in a daze.
After a moment, Ma Zhengyu finally came to his senses first. Even though he expected Yu Shao to win, he still felt unbelievable when he saw this scene.
"How is it possible..."
Ma Zhengyu swallowed his saliva and asked, "He won after only ninety moves?"
…
…
On the other side, Pyongyang.
An Hongshi withdrew his eyes from the computer screen and fell into thought.
After a long time, An Hongshi suddenly picked up his mobile phone, opened the address book, and dialed the number.
Soon, the call was connected.
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, asking, "Teacher An Hongshi?"
"Director Xu Fengyuan, I'm really sorry, I may not be able to keep the coaching game tomorrow." An Hongshi said.
"What?"
Hearing what An Hongshi said, the man named Xu Fengyuan on the other end of the phone was stunned. His tone became a little anxious and he said, "Teacher An Hongshi, didn't we agree on this in advance? And just playing a few games of instruction will earn you 100 million won!"
"I'm really sorry, I changed my mind at the last minute. Let's do it another day."
An Hongshi smiled and said, "If you have nothing else to do, it's okay to go and give some guidance, but..."
An Hongshi paused, raised his head, looked at the laptop screen in front of him, and said, "As a chess player, I now have more worthy places to go."
…
…
At this time, at the Seoul Hotel, the competition venue.
"How is that possible? Li Junhe lost after less than a hundred moves..."
The music notator and referee beside the chess table looked shocked and confused. They looked at Li Junhe, only to see that Li Junhe was sitting there with his head bowed, not saying a word.
Even in yesterday's game which was supposed to be a draw, but he lost to Dongshan Xun in the end, they did not see Li Junhe look like this.
At this time, Yu Shao finished packing up the chess pieces, finally stood up slowly, and then turned and walked towards the second table.
Soon, Yu Shao came behind Su Yiming and looked at the chess game.
In this game, Su Yiming plays black. Now the black pieces have formed a large shape in the middle of the board, covering the middle, but the black pieces have completely given up three corners. The outcome depends on whether the white pieces can break the large black pieces.
Although there is still a complicated fight between the black and white sides in the middle game and the outcome is still hard to predict, but judging from the current situation, it is obviously extremely difficult for the white pieces to break through.
Park Ji-guk obviously realized this, his expression became a little ugly, and after thinking for a long time, he finally took out the chess piece and put it down.
Twelve columns and fourteen rows, a big jump! "Use a big jump to break through the air and fight with the black chess pieces... Will Su Yiming directly hit it?"
Yu Shao glanced at Su Yiming, only to see Su Yiming staring at the chessboard quietly, unaware that he had come behind him.
After a moment, Su Yiming finally reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and slowly put it down.
Da! Ten columns and fourteen rows, Xiaofei!
"So that's how it is. He was certain that the white piece didn't have a strong attack, so he ignored the white piece's big jump and adjusted the overall situation, waiting for the white piece to attack, and taking advantage of his rest."
Yu Shao couldn't help but look up at Park Zhiguo. Park Zhiguo obviously didn't expect Su Yiming to have such a method. His face flushed and the corners of his eyes twitched a little.
Seeing this scene, Yu Shao no longer paid attention to this game of chess. He quickly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the third table.
Qin Lang and Jin Chaoen were both extremely serious and focused at this time, and their minds were completely immersed in the game of chess.
This game of chess is somewhat similar to Su Yiming's. The key to victory or defeat lies in whether Qin Lang, who plays with white, can finally break through successfully.
The difference is that in Su Yiming's game, it was obvious that Su Yiming took the initiative to give up the corners and took the lead in managing the overall situation, so Park Zhiguo was forced to take the land.
In this game, it was obvious that Qin Lang first fished and then cleaned, preparing to determine the outcome by dealing with the isolated pieces.
Although dealing with isolated battles has the fewest rules and is also the most difficult part, especially when the chess pieces collide with each other, it is related to the chess shape and the issue of qi, so it is even more difficult to say any rules.
However, what Qin Lang is best at is dealing with isolated enemies in the chaos of battle.
"The game is evenly matched, the situation is very tense, and it is impossible to tell who will win."
Yu Shao pondered for a moment, then walked to the fourth channel. After standing behind Le Haoqiang and watching quietly for a while, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"Le Haoqiang, you played pretty well, but..."
Yu Shao couldn't help but look at Pei Youyan who was sitting opposite Le Haoqiang. At this time, Pei Youyan pursed her lips and looked at the chessboard intently. There was no trace of gentleness on her face, and her eyes were even a little sharp.
"Although she is a girl, judging by her moves, she is decisive and daring to sacrifice. She seems to be a little stronger, and Le Haoqiang is somewhat at a disadvantage."
