Chapter 322: After Yu Shao, there are no more ghosts and gods (two in one)
Under the horrified gaze of the world, the chess pieces fell on the chessboard one after another.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
Black chess, five columns and two rows! White chess, four columns and two rows! Black chess, nine columns and eleven rows, ko!
…
In the precarious moment, the black chess piece calculated all the variables, and finally after a long period of preparation, the real purpose was revealed. One move of the chess piece responded to the whole game, and started a great battle that shocked the world!
Black chess, want to turn the tide, save the building from collapse! I don't know when, heavy snow has fallen in Seoul, covering the entire city, but at this moment everyone's mind is on this chess game, no one noticed that the world outside the window has changed.
Inside the market commentary room.
"Black is looking for a capture in the upper left corner, and White can only respond. In this way, Black takes the capture, and White directly cuts and continues to look for material for the capture!"
The male commentator kept showing each move of both sides, his face flushed, and said in shock: "But Dongshan Xun's move of capturing is also a strong counterattack!"
On the board, every time a chess piece fell, everyone's heart was moved! In the desperate situation, the black chess burst out with amazing fighting spirit, catching up like a raging wave. Every time a chess piece fell, everyone felt deeply shocked! ...
…
In the competition venue, the battles between deputy generals, three generals and four generals have all ended. Now there are only the battles between five generals and... the battle between the main generals!
In the deputy general battle, after the end of the official game, Su Yiming defeated Fujiwara Terajima by two and a half points.
In the battle of three generals, Qin Lang had a considerable advantage in the middle game, but in the end, Oda Takeshi held on until the endgame. However, he was not careful enough in handling the endgame, and failed in the end, losing to Oda Takeshi by half a point.
In the battle of four generals, Le Haoqiang's performance was shocking. He suppressed Murakami Shunichi almost from beginning to end. In the middle game, he captured Murakami Shunichi's big dragon and won the game.
"It's still too tight... I can't tell who's winning. Do we have to go to official chess to decide the winner?"
Gu Chuan stared at the chessboard in front of him, looking somewhat unwilling: "This game could have been over long ago, but it dragged on for so long."
In this game, he was at a disadvantage in the early and middle stages, but he found an opportunity later and fought back, eventually reversing the situation. However, Onishi Jingchuan's tenacity also exceeded his expectations! "If it was Yu Shao, he would definitely be able to..."
Gu Chuan looked at the chessboard and this thought subconsciously popped up in his mind.
Thinking of Yu Shao, Gu Chuan was suddenly stunned.
"If it was Yu Shao, where would he place this move?"
Gu Chuan looked at the chessboard, and the fast chess games he had played with Yu Shao before appeared in his mind one by one like a kaleidoscope.
"If it was Yu Shao, he would..."
The next moment, Gu Chuan's hand involuntarily reached into the chess box and took out the chess piece.
In front of him, he seemed to see Yu Shao holding the chess piece.
Then, the chess piece slowly fell down!
"He will—"
"Get down here!"
Gu Chuan held the chess piece and fell down quickly! "He got rid of the first move directly?!"
After seeing Gu Chuan's move, Da Xi Jingchuan, who was opposite Gu Chuan, was stunned, and then his expression suddenly changed!
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The chess pieces began to fall.
Ohnishi Jingchuan's expression became more and more ugly, and his chess moves became slower and slower, but Gu Chuan, on the contrary, fought with blood and determination, and not only did he make moves quickly, but each move was deadly!
Finally, not long after, Onishi Jingchuan clenched his fists and lowered his head unwillingly: "I lost..."
"I, I won!"
Hearing this, Gu Chuan couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly with a look of surprise. He immediately turned his head to look to his side, but was stunned for a moment.
The surroundings were empty, and everyone gathered around a table, looking at the chess game with expressions of shock and confusion.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chuan quickly stood up, without even asking about the results of the other games, and immediately squeezed into the crowd, then cast his eyes towards the chess game.
"This situation..."
After just one look, Gu Chuan's expression suddenly changed. He looked at the chessboard with a tingling scalp, and was horrified: "How did this move come about?"
Da! Under the gaze of the world, the black piece fell again! Yu Shao looked at the chessboard with a somewhat cold expression, and quickly picked out the white piece, which fell right after the black piece.
Dongshan Xun's expression was not relaxed either. His forehead and nose were already covered with sweat. Seeing Yu Shao make a move, he thought for a moment before finally making another move.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The black and white sides kept fighting over this capture, each looking for materials for the capture, as if they were going to use this capture to decide their life or death! "There is not enough material for the capture on the left, and the pressure from above is too great. If we rashly look for materials for the capture above, it may form a capture material for the white pieces. We must cut off the white pieces' survival path!"
Dongshan Xun looked at the bottom of the chessboard, picked up the chess piece again, and dropped it quickly!
"So, we can only go down to find materials for the robbery!"
Da! Ten columns and sixteen rows, eat!
"Do you want to eat?"
Seeing this move, Su Yiming on the side frowned slightly. Just as he was thinking about how the white chess piece should respond, he heard a "click". Su Yiming turned his head and saw that Yu Shao's hand had already reached into the chess box.
The next moment, Yu Shao's hand holding the chess piece finally dropped! Da! Twelve columns and six rows, block! Seeing Yu Shao's move, Su Yiming was slightly stunned. The next moment, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao again: "Block?!"
Not only Su Yiming, but also Gu Chuan, Le Haoqiang and Qin Lang, their minds went blank. Gu Chuan opened his mouth and almost couldn't help shouting out!
Dongshan Xun looked at the white piece that had just fallen on the chessboard, and was completely stunned, as if he had seen a ghost! At this moment, everyone in the world who was paying attention to this chess game fell into silence! Silence!
At this moment, everything is silent, there is only silence!
This move was so shocking that the whole world was silent!
…
…
Inside the market commentary room.
"Dongshan Xun chose to capture with this move. This is a perfect opportunity for capture. White can only stick to it in the next move, otherwise -"
On the stage, the male commentator had just explained the effect of Dongshan Xun's attack. He had just said half of his words when he saw Yu Shao had already placed the chess piece on the TV screen.
When the male commentator saw this chess piece, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and stopped abruptly.
He stared at the TV screen, completely frozen in place, his mouth gradually opening.
"He took off his clothes first to block it?!"
The female commentator was a little confused. She stared at the TV screen and said blankly, "The black piece will capture the white piece's tendon in the next move, and the two black pieces that were originally separated will be able to connect again."
"Not only has the dead black piece in the lower right corner come back to life, but after the black pieces below are stuck, the white pieces are at risk of being killed!"
The female commentator licked her dry lips and asked in disbelief: "Did he...make a wrong move?"
The male commentator did not answer, although he also felt that this move could only be a mistake. But the problem was that even if it was in the wrong position, it was still a bit too far from the correct position!
However, if it wasn't a wrong move, the White chess would have collapsed immediately after this move!
At this moment, black spots fell on the TV screen again.
Nine columns and sixteen rows, lift! The male commentator took a deep breath and finally came to his senses. He stepped forward, took out the black pieces and hung them on the big plate, and took down the two white pieces that were killed by the black pieces from the big plate.
These two pieces are the backbone of the chess. Now that the backbone has been killed, it is inevitable that the black pieces will unite! However, the more critical thing is that not only the dead black piece in the lower right corner has come back to life, but even the white piece is now in a life-or-death situation and is very likely to be killed by the black piece!
When the audience saw this scene, they looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
Is this game of chess going to end with such a dramatic ending?
As soon as this thought appeared in everyone's mind, they saw the white piece fall on the chessboard again on the TV screen.
Fourteen columns and nine rows, long! Seeing this move, the male and female commentators, as well as all the audience, were completely stunned!
The next moment, the female commentator could no longer suppress her emotions. She stared at the TV screen and shouted in disbelief: "He...he...he..."
The female commentator was a little incoherent for a while, and it took her a long time to successfully shout out what she wanted to say in one breath -
"He actually ignored the struggle in his midsection and the life and death issues below, and just grew it directly?!"
On the TV screen, chess pieces began to fall again.
The male and female commentators even forgot to set up the chess pieces and just stared blankly at the TV screen in front of them with dazed eyes.
Is there any need to continue this game of chess?
There is a chess proverb that goes, if the chess key is caught, the whole game is lost, if the chess key is captured, the whole game is alive.
Watching the chess pieces falling on the TV screen, the two were suddenly stunned.
After watching a few more moves, beads of sweat began to appear on the foreheads of the two men.
"this……"
A look of disbelief gradually appeared on their faces!
There was dead silence in the audience at this moment. Everyone was completely stunned. Their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by something and almost stopped beating!
At this moment, everyone was looking at the chess game, feeling a little dazed!
After the white pieces grew out, the black pieces' entire dragon actually had problems. The black pieces had difficulty taking care of both breakpoints, and the black pieces were extremely tight, and the white pieces above could still make moves at any time...
What’s even more shocking is that the white pieces have the ability to grow on the top to forcibly kill the four black pieces! At this moment, even if the black pieces forcefully fight against the white pieces, and the black pieces kill the white pieces that are in danger of dying below, the entire right side is also a vast expanse of white, and the black pieces on the top are still one move short, so the black pieces can’t continue! Therefore, at this point, everyone realized belatedly that—
Black was looking for material to capture before, and White's seemingly suicidal blocking move turned out to be the most brutal move in the game! Nothing else!
Looking at Baizi's moves, everyone was at a loss for words to describe them. Words like brilliant moves, clever tactics, or heavenly wonders were not enough to describe their emotions!
If I have to say it, there is probably only one word that is most appropriate -
Horrible! These moves are horrible.
Everyone just stared blankly at the chess game, watching the white pieces falling continuously. In a trance, they actually felt as if they were crawling on the ground, looking up at the gods with a sense of panic.
On the Mount Sinai of Go, we finally saw the true face of God. God’s power was radiant, but it was also terrifying to think about! Quiet!
It's getting quieter and quieter! The stage is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop below.
The two commentators just stared at the chessboard and stopped explaining, because even though the male commentator was a ninth-dan player, he was unwilling to comment on this game.
At this point, this game of chess can be called the art of black and white!
For a moment, the whole world was immersed in great shock and confusion, and only silence remained! "This game of chess is undoubtedly the best game of Tou Shan Xun since his debut. He proved that the saying is right."
After a long time, a young man in the commentary room looked at the market and said in bewilderment, "After Dongshan Xun, there is no more genius..."
"This sentence may be true, but..."
"If this sentence is correct, then Yu Shao is it. After Yu Shao, there will be no more ghosts and gods..."
The expression on the young man's face became more and more confused, and he whispered: "On Mount Sinai of Go, I prostrated myself on the ground, raised my head tremblingly, and finally witnessed the true face of God."
“But the power of God is so radiant, and yet it is also… terrifying when you think about it carefully.”
Hearing this, the bald man next to the young man finally came back to his senses from his deep shock and looked at the young man sitting next to him in disbelief.
The young man stared at the TV screen in front of him with a hint of self-mockery on his face, and continued: "In the end, it was actually me who was sitting in a well and looking at the world."
On the chessboard, the black pieces were still falling down stubbornly, still struggling and trying to fight back, but everyone already knew the outcome of the game.
The moment White gave up trying to deal with the threat and made that unpredictable move, Black's fantasy of turning the tide had become a bubble and a fantasy! However, regardless of whether Black won or lost, this game was destined to go down in history.
Go is a masterpiece of two people.
Without any one person, it would not work.
…
…
“Click.”
Dongshan Xun looked at the chessboard and reached into the chess box again, and the chess pieces made a clicking sound.
However, this time, Dongshan Xun did not take out the chess piece.
He clenched the two chess pieces tightly and stretched his hand to the center of the chessboard. He was about to loosen his hand, but his fist clenched tighter and tighter.
However, in the end, Dongshan Xun slowly loosened his hand, and the two chess pieces immediately fell onto the chessboard with a "click".
"it's over……"
Su Yiming looked at the chess game for a while, and when he saw the game was over, he felt surprisingly calm.
He looked at Dongshan Xun, only to see that Dongshan Xun had lowered his head, with his long hair covering his face, so he couldn't see the expression on his face at all.
"Although you lost, you should be proud of playing such a game."
Su Yiming stared at Dongshanxun. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to speak——
"It was you who played this chess game yourself."
Everyone around was still staring at the chess game in a daze. When they saw the game end, they finally woke up from their dream, with a slight sense of disappointment in their hearts.
Looking at this game of chess, they almost completely forgot about winning or losing for a moment, and were just immersed in the exciting fight between White and Black.
Seeing a game like this, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses.
They never imagined that this game of chess would turn out like this, and that this game would be played out like this, something they were destined to never forget.
The two referees were silent, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
"Dongshan Xun, lost in the middle game..."
They are all highly experienced referees and have been presiding over team competitions for nearly ten years.
Five years ago, they had seen a genius like Zhu Huaian fight against the main players of Japan and South Korea. In the end, in the deciding game, the three players lost the game by half a point, and finally lost 3 to 2 in the team competition, leaving regrets.
Seven years ago, they had also seen Zheng Shibin and his five players sweep across China and Japan in an invincible manner, except that four of them lost one game. They won the championship with a nearly perfect record.
Ten years ago...
Looking back at the past, countless geniuses and heroes have left countless brilliant works in team competitions, shocking and moving the world.
But no team competition has ever brought them such deep confusion and helplessness! In the chess game, there is only divine machine.
Although it is a magical machine, it is still terrifying.
"Apologize……"
At this moment, Dongshan Xun spoke in a hoarse voice, his voice was extremely weak.
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Dongshanxun. Yu Shao also raised his head from the chessboard and looked at Dongshanxun.
Dongshan Xun still lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, his voice was weak, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he still said stubbornly: "Apologize..."
Yu Shao looked at Dong Shanxun and was silent for a moment before he asked, "What are you apologizing for?"
Dongshan Xun suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao: "You were at the opening ceremony--"
Yu Shao had a somewhat cold expression on his face. Before Dongshan Xun finished speaking, he interrupted him and asked, "It's another good game now, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Dongshan Xun was stunned for a moment.
"Take a good look at the game you played."
Yu Shao slowly stood up, looked at Dongshan Xun quietly, and said: "Since you can play such a game of chess, you should already know the answer to the question."
"Don't say anything like, it's just you who lost, not four thousand years of Go."
"If the past four thousand years of Go was one path, then whether you are willing to admit it or not, your Go has already taken another path!"
Hearing Yu Shao's words, Dongshan Xun slowly lowered his head, looked at the chessboard in front of him, and his heart trembled.
He clenched his teeth tightly, and tears finally flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably! "You can already make such a good move."
Yu Shao turned around, his expression became a little colder, and said to Su Yiming and the other three, "Go back, the team competition is over!"
…
…
Inside the North Korea-ROK seminar room.
At this moment, there was only silence.
Li Junhe and others were still staring at the TV screen in a daze until the TV screen turned black, and then they finally came to their senses.
“It’s snowing.”
At this time, someone looked out the window at the world covered in silver and finally realized that it had started snowing heavily. Not knowing whether it was because of the snow or because the game of chess was over, he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
At this time, Honinbo Shingo suddenly looked at Yasushi Hiroseki and asked, "Teacher Yasushi Hiroseki, have you heard of entropy?"
An Hongshi was slightly startled, and finally nodded and said, "I know, it seems to be a physical phenomenon in the universe?"
"yes."
Honinbo Shingo nodded and said, "I have been very interested in the universe recently, because Go is like the universe. No one can see the whole picture of Go."
“The more I learn about Go, the more insignificant and ignorant I feel, and the more I am shocked by the vastness and depth of Go.”
Honinbo Shin'ai looked at the chessboard in front of him and said in an inexplicable tone: "In this game, both sides used all their moves with divine power, just like entropy circulating in the universe, and its whereabouts are unknown..."
Hearing this, An Hongshi also looked at the chessboard again.
An Hongshi stared at the chessboard quietly. Every move made by the black and white sides appeared before his eyes like a fleeting shadow.
Every move was deeply imprinted in his mind.
After a moment, An Hongshi suddenly asked, "Teacher Xinhe, you should know what Yu Shao said at the opening ceremony of the team competition, right?"
Honinbo Shinkazu was a little puzzled, but finally nodded slowly and said, "Of course I know."
"If it is said that Yu Shao revealed the secret in the first game of chess."
An Hongshi said: "Then in the second game, both sides will use the heaven's clues to play chess."
"This will be a game of epoch-making significance. I feel it is my honor to witness such a game with my own eyes. I should pay tribute to these two chess players."
An Hongshi paused, then continued: "This is the Go of the new era."
Upon hearing this, Honinbo Shingo was shocked and could not help but look up in shock and look at Yasu Hiroseki.
Go in the new era?
On the side, Li Junhe and others had a blank mind and stared at An Hongshi blankly.
They didn't know what kind of storm would be caused if An Hongshi's words were known to the world.
Times have changed! These words are equivalent to regarding the previous four thousand years of Go as an era, and now, after this game of Go, there will be a brand new era!
After all, the person who said this was named An Hongshi! An Hongshi looked at the chessboard, smiled, and said with some emotion: "Perhaps, before this, there really was no chess game in the world that could be called a good game..."
"I think the history of Go is about to open a new chapter, and we have to understand Go again, Mr. Xinhe."
An Hongshi smiled and said, "It won't be long before the two of them will be sitting opposite us. We can't fail to play a good game by then, right?"
Hearing this, Honinbo Shingo was silent for a moment.
Kaoru Toyama has already made it to the Honinbo tournament. If he can successfully qualify for the title challenge this year, it won't be long before they meet in the title match.
Honinbo Shinkazu slowly stood up and said, "There will never be a Honinbo under the age of 20 in this world."
An Hongshi smiled faintly when he heard this, and did not refute. He also stood up and asked, "Are you going to watch the award ceremony later?"
"No, I'm not interested in the award ceremony. You probably aren't interested either, right?"
Honinbo Shingo shook his head and said, "Since I lost the bet, let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."
…
…
The game is over.
The snow is falling heavier and heavier.
However, the whole world is still immersed in great shock and confusion, unable to extricate itself.
This was a peak contest between appearance and isolation. In this game of chess, both the black and white pieces created too many miracles and played too many unpredictable moves.
A game of chess is full of ups and downs and is very thrilling!
Looking back at this team competition, everyone has mixed emotions.
Watching the chess quietly, it's like seeing the changes of the world! The sound of the chess pieces still seems to echo in everyone's ears, so shocking! Is it lucky or unlucky to witness such a chess game with your own eyes? …………
