Chapter 315 The Go building is already crumbling!
"An Hongshi Chess Master?"
"It's really the chess master An Hongshi!"
"Do you have a pen? I want an autograph!"
Seeing that it was really An Hongshi, everyone in the hall was shocked and excited, and suddenly became agitated.
An Hongshi walked into the hotel lobby and accepted the requests for photos and autographs from several chess fans. After taking photos and signing autographs one by one, he finally hurried to the North Korea-ROK seminar room.
Not long after, An Hongshi arrived at the door of the North Korea-ROK Research Room and saw a sign hanging in front of the door that read "North Korea-ROK Team Research Room, No Entry for Outsiders".
An Hongshi knocked on the door, and soon footsteps were heard in the research room, and then the door was opened.
The one who opened the door was General Park Ji-guk, a North Korean general. When he saw An Hong-seok at the door, Park Ji-guk was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Teacher An Hong-seok!"
"Good morning, Park Ji-guk 8th dan."
An Hongshi nodded and greeted Park Zhiguo with a smile.
Inside the seminar room, a group of North and South Korean chess players also looked towards An Hongshi at the door, their expressions showing surprise, followed by surprise.
"Teacher An Hongshi, weren't you in Pyongyang recently? Why are you in Seoul?"
"Teacher An Hongshi, sit here!"
"Does Mr. An Hongshi have a competition in Seoul recently?"
Hearing these words, An Hongshi did not answer immediately. He walked into the seminar room, sat down in the seat vacated by everyone, and then said, "I should have played very few games in the past two years."
After An Hongshi finished speaking, he noticed Pei Youyan again and said with a smile: "Youyan, after not seeing you for a year, not only have you become better at chess, but you have also become more beautiful. You played very well in the past two days."
Pei Youyan's face flushed red when she received the praise from An Hongshi, whom she had regarded as her role model since childhood. She lowered her head and said hurriedly, "Thank you, Mr. An Hongshi!"
Shin Seung-hyun was a little confused at this time and asked, "Since there is no competition, then why did you come to Seoul, Mr. An Hong-seok?"
"Come and watch today's game."
An Hongshi did not hide anything and said bluntly: "I am very interested in today's main battle."
After hearing this, everyone in the seminar room fell silent.
You know, An Hongshi didn't come to watch the North Korea-South Korea match two days ago, but he came today for the China-Japan match?
"Jun Hyuk, I watched the game you played with Yu Shao yesterday."
At this time, An Hongshi suddenly looked at Li Junhe and said.
Li Junhe was startled, and then he seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately asked: "Teacher An Hongshi, do you think that I didn't do well enough?"
"No, to be honest, I think you played pretty well."
An Hongshi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have also seen many of your other chess records. There is no doubt that you have reached a level that can compete with me."
"Although you are still young, at your level, even I can't teach you anything."
"There are indeed many chess games where my thinking is different from yours, but you have your thinking, and I dare not say that your thinking is definitely worse than mine."
An Hongshi looked at Li Junhe, paused, and then continued: "At most, I am just discussing with you why you think this way and why I think this way."
"So, I didn't come here this time to point out the problems in your game yesterday. I came here this time to verify a question."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at An Hongshi.
Want to prove a question? An Hongshi looked at the empty chessboard in front of him, reached into the chess box, and the chess pieces suddenly made a "clicking" sound.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, An Hongshi slowly placed the chess piece.
After seeing the position where An Hongshi made this move, everyone was stunned. They saw that there was an extra black piece in the center of the chessboard.
Ten columns and ten rows, Tian Yuan! A move that is Tian Yuan! "Different players have different ideas about how to play chess. There may be right and wrong, but none of us can convince anyone else. There is no answer. This is the charm of Go."
An Hongshi stared at the black dot and said, "However, some things have right and wrong, just like this Tianyuan move."
"What we all think is right is right, and what we all think is wrong is wrong."
"However, after reading a lot of Yu Shao's chess records, I had a doubt, especially the game yesterday, which deepened my doubts."
Hearing what An Hongshi said, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"What doubts?"
At this time, Pei Youyan couldn't help but ask.
An Hongshi still looked at the Tianyuan move on the chessboard. After a moment, he slowly said, "Is what we all think is right really right?"
Hearing this, the whole audience fell silent.
Everyone's head seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and suddenly everything went blank.
"Whether it is right or wrong, it is no longer clear."
An Hongshi finally withdrew his gaze from the chessboard, looked at everyone in the discussion room, and continued: "For example, in a certain area, we may all feel that the black pieces are better and that the black pieces are attacking the white pieces, but perhaps the white pieces' judgment is exactly the opposite of ours..."
"White might think that it is me who is attacking you, not you who is attacking me."
"It's fine if Black is right, but...what if White is right?"
After hearing what An Hongshi said, the whole place suddenly became even quieter, and you could almost hear a pin drop.
"There is a saying in Go that there is a direction. If the direction is right, then within the correct general direction, the ideas of the moves can be different. But if the direction is wrong, then it will definitely be a bad move."
An Hongshi paused, then raised another question: "But what if everyone is going in the wrong direction?"
Li Junhe was a little dazed, and the game of chess he played with Yu Shao yesterday flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
After a long while, Li Junhe said in a daze: "These generally recognized right and wrong are the foundation of Go. Once there is a problem with the foundation, the building of modern Go will..."
Li Junhe opened his mouth and spoke the last few words after a long time: "Completely collapsed."
An Hongshi smiled and asked, "Haven't you seen it yet?"
What did they see? Everyone looked at An Hongshi in confusion.
An Hongshi raised his head and looked at the TV screen. At this time, the screen was still pitch black. It was obvious that there was still some time before the game started.
An Hongshi answered: "This 4,000-year-old building is now... crumbling."
The whole place fell silent again.
A moment later, the knock on the door sounded again, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Park Ji-guk, who was sitting closest to the door of the seminar room, was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
When he saw the figure at the door, Park Ji-guk seemed to be frozen in place.
Not only Park Zhiguo, but everyone else in the laboratory was stunned when they saw the figure at the door of the laboratory. Even An Hongshi showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Standing at the door of the seminar room was a middle-aged man who was nearly 40 years old but still had a handsome face.
He was wearing a suit and had bright eyes. He glanced around the seminar room and soon his sight was fixed on An Hongshi.
"Teacher An Hongshi, I just heard that you were here too. I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect you to really come." The man smiled and spoke in Japanese.
"It's not far from Pyongyang. I can get there in a short time by high-speed train."
Yasuhiro smiled and said in fluent Japanese: "But Mr. Xinhe, you actually came. This is really beyond my expectation."
"May I come inside?"
At this time, Honinbo Shingo looked at Park Ji-guk who was still standing at the door, and asked in halting Korean.
"certainly!"
Park Ji-guk finally came to his senses and quickly made way for Honinbo Shin'ei.
Honinbo Shinkazu quickly walked to the opposite side of Yasu Hiroseki, pulled out a chair and sat down, then took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yasu Hiroseki.
Everyone watched this scene in silence. They never expected that not only Yasu Hiroseki came, but even Honinbo Shin'ei came as well. The two have been rivals for who knows how many years. They often fight to the death in international competitions and have played countless amazing games.
"Thanks."
Yasuhiro Seki smiled and took the cigarette from Honinbo Shingo and said, "You flew here last night?"
"right."
Honinbo Shingo lit up his cigarette with a lighter and said, "It's not that far actually. It won't take more than a few hours by plane."
“That’s troublesome too.”
An Hongshi also took out a lighter, lit the cigarette with a click, and asked, "Isn't it okay to watch the game at home?"
"Because I had a feeling."
Honinbo Shingo took a deep puff of his cigarette and then spoke.
"Premonition?"
An Hongshi was a little surprised when he heard this.
"If I don't have time, that's fine. But now that I do have time, I will definitely regret it if I can't see this game in person."
Honinbo Shingo flicked the ash off his cigarette, looked at the TV screen, and said, "Besides, I want to see with my own eyes what the future will look like."
"Hiss... Mr. Xinhe, your premonitions are usually very accurate. I have suffered a lot because of your weird premonition on the chessboard."
An Hongshi took a deep breath and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Isn't today's game going to shock the world chess community? I am even more looking forward to today's game."
At this moment, images appeared on all five TV screens at the same time.
The competition is about to begin!
Seeing this, An Hongshi asked curiously, "Aren't you going to the Japanese Research Room to watch the game?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter where I watch. Since you are here, I will stay here and watch the game. You won't chase me away, right?" Honinbo Shin'aku asked with a smile.
"Of course not."
An Hongshi smiled and shook his head: "On the contrary, I'd love to have it."
