Chapter 325 The Storm Sweeping the World Chess Arena
Three days passed in a flash.
Early in the morning, Yu Shao arrived at the chess academy and walked towards the chess room where the national championship qualifiers were held. He had a national championship qualifier today.
With his current points, if he can win two more sets, he will be able to directly advance to the national team competition. In other words, if he wins today's game, he only needs to win one more game.
As soon as Yu Shao walked into the hall of the chess academy, he saw a familiar and slim figure in front of him.
The weather in Jiangling has warmed up. Today, Wu Zhixuan wore a denim jacket and fleece-lined black stockings, which outlined her slender figure and made her look more sexy than usual.
"Wu Zhixuan?"
Seeing Wu Zhixuan, Yu Shao was a little surprised and shouted.
When Wu Zhixuan heard someone calling her, she stopped walking and turned around in confusion. Seeing that it was Yu Shao, she said with some surprise, "Yu Shao, do you have a national team competition today?"
"right."
Yu Shao nodded, looked at Wu Zhixuan, and asked in confusion: "Don't you have any competition today?"
"Today is the first battle of the Tenth Stage Tournament!"
Wu Zhixuan smiled with two dimples and said, "I am the scorekeeper for today's ten-stage battle!"
Yu Shao understood immediately after hearing this. Before he went to Seoul, he had heard that the Tenth Dan Tournament was about to end. Now it seems that the Tenth Dan Tournament Challenge has finally begun.
"Who has obtained the qualification to challenge the tenth-level battle?" Yu Shao couldn't help but ask.
“Didn’t you pay attention to this?”
Wu Zhixuan looked at Yu Shao in surprise and explained, "The one who qualified for the Tenth Dan Tournament this year is Chess Master Zhu Huaian."
"Zhu Huaian, the chess master, and Zhuang Weisheng, the 10th dan, in their match?"
Yu Shao became a little interested and said, "This game of chess should be very exciting."
"It will definitely be exciting, but in the end, it should be that Mr. Zhuang Weisheng will continue to defend his title of 10th Dan, right?"
Wu Zhixuan shook her head and said, "After all, there is a saying that goes, titles come and go, but the tenth dan is permanent. Teacher Zhuang Weisheng is as strong as a monster in the tenth dan battle."
"Yeah?"
Yu Shao glanced behind Wu Zhixuan and said, "Teacher Zhu Huaian is behind you."
When Wu Zhixuan heard Yu Shao's words, she was slightly stunned. After she reacted, she was immediately shocked.
Wu Zhixuan hurriedly turned her head and looked behind her, but found that there was no one behind her. Only then did she realize that she had been deceived by Yu Shao.
"Yu Shao, you want to die!"
Wu Zhixuan immediately glared at Yu Shao, clenched her fists, and said in feigned anger: "Be careful of my Bajiquan!"
Yu Shao couldn't help laughing. As he walked towards the match room where the national champions' tournament preliminaries were being held, he said, "Is this your first time as a scorekeeper for a title match?"
"Yes."
Wu Zhixuan nodded, with a somewhat yearning expression, and said with emotion: "A title... It is the lifelong goal of many chess players. I wish I could get a title one day."
The two chatted as they walked, and soon reached the corner and were ready to part.
"I'm going to the game room now. Good luck in the competition today!" Wu Zhixuan cheered Yu Shao on.
"good."
Yu Shao nodded, said goodbye to Wu Zhixuan, and quickly walked to the door of the game room.
After Yu Shao glanced around the game room, he came to the side of the twelfth table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Not long after, a man in his thirties with a dignified appearance came to the opposite side of Yu Shao, pulled out a chair with a serious expression, and sat opposite Yu Shao.
Inside the game room, everyone cast their eyes towards the twelve tables.
Table 12, Yu Shao 2nd Dan, yes, Yu Wenrui 9th Dan!
Yu Wenrui is already a veteran who has been through many battles, but everyone can clearly see the solemnity on Yu Wenrui's face at this moment, and everyone is in a different mood.
Finally, after a while, two referees came to the game room.
The moment the two arrived at the game room, they subconsciously cast their eyes towards Yu Shao and Yu Wenrui first, and only slowly retracted their gazes after a long time.
Not long after, when the time was up, the two referees finally announced the start of the game.
After guessing the order, Yu Shao played black and Yu Wenrui played white in this game.
The two bowed to each other, and the game of chess began.
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, pondered for a moment, and finally reached into the chess box. The chess pieces immediately collided with each other in the box.
“Click!”
Amid the sound of chess pieces colliding, Yu Shao picked up the chess piece and slowly let it fall.
clatter! First hand, sixteen columns and four rows, stars! …
…
On the other side, the conversation was going on indoors.
The first battle of the tenth stage challenge! Challenger, Zhu Huaian becomes the chess master! The defender is Zhuang Weisheng, tenth dan! Wu Zhixuan sat at the music notation table, feeling a little nervous. Although she had worked as a music notator many times, this was her first time as a music notator for a title battle.
"I have been to the chat room many times, but this time, the atmosphere inside is completely different from before..."
Wu Zhixuan looked at Zhu Huaian and Zhuang Weisheng who were not far away. Although their expressions were very calm, there seemed to be a frightening edge suppressed in this astonishing tranquility.
She couldn't help but think of the promotional video for the Tenth Dan Tournament that was leaked from the official website of the chess academy not long ago.
Before each title match, both players will participate in the filming of a promotional video for the title match. The promotional video for this 10th dan match was shot by an internationally renowned director.
In this short one-minute promotional video, Zhu Huaian and Zhuang Weisheng, both dressed in ancient costumes, play chess in a chess room with flickering candlelight. The room is dimly lit, with only black and white pieces visible on the chessboard.
The BGM of the promotional video is the sound of intense drum beats. The two men make their moves one after another to the sound of drum beats. It seems like a grand war, with a sense of tension and fate as if a decisive battle is taking place on the top of Mount Huashan.
At this moment, in the hand-talk room, Wu Zhixuan actually felt a sense of tension as if she was witnessing a peak showdown between two masters in a martial arts novel. It made her feel refreshed and her back felt cold.
“Click.”
At this moment, the sound of grabbing wood rang out again in the chat room, finally interrupting Wu Zhixuan's thoughts.
In this game, Zhu Huaian plays black and Zhuang Weisheng plays white.
At this time, both sides had just made four moves, forming a situation of Xing Xiaomu against Xing Xiaomu.
Now it is Zhu Huaian's turn to make the move.
Wu Zhixuan quickly turned her head to look at Zhu Huaian, only to see Zhu Huaian looking at the chessboard with concentration. He picked up the chess piece amid the sound of the chess pieces colliding and slowly put it down.
clatter! Three columns and three rows, dot three three!
"It's actually... 33?!"
Seeing this move, Wu Zhixuan's palms began to sweat.
The move of Dian San San is no longer rare since the Yingjiao Cup, especially now, and it can often be seen in major competitions.
but--
In the highest level competition such as the title match, the move of three-three was played for the first time! Point three three! This move finally shone today in the highest level competition in the Go world! This not only means that the Dian San San move has been completely recognized by the top chess players, but also means that the concept of thickness and thinness brought about by the Dian San San move has completely overturned the cognition of the past four thousand years!
A year ago, who could have imagined that the three-three play in the layout phase would appear on the stage of a title fight? After all, this was a bad move I made when I was learning chess as a child, and I would be spanked on the hand by my teacher!
The reason for this earth-shaking change comes from one person——
Yu Shao!
"call……"
Wu Zhixuan let out a light breath and finally calmed down. She slid the mouse to record Zhu Huaian's move, then turned her head to look at Zhuang Weisheng.
Seeing Zhu Huaian play the three-three move in the title battle, Zhuang Weisheng remained calm. He quickly reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and slowly put it down.
clatter! Three columns and four rows, block!
Faced with this move, Zhu Huaian did not think for too long. He quickly picked up the chess piece again and put it down gently! Four columns and three rows, long!
Zhuang Weisheng did not make a move immediately. He stared at the chessboard. After a moment, he finally reached into the chess box again.
Click!
The chess pieces collided with each other!
The next moment, Zhuang Weisheng picked up the chess piece and slowly let it fall!
clatter! Six columns and three rows, Xiaofei! "Xiao Fei!"
Seeing this move, Wu Zhixuan's pupils shrank slightly, and the chess game that Yu Shao and Su Yiming played in the rainstorm almost instantly emerged in her mind.
"This is... that Xiao Fei from back then!"
And Zhuang Weisheng was also present at that game of chess! When Zhu Huaian saw Xiao Fei's move, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Naturally, he also paid attention to the game between Dongshan Xun and Yu Shao in the team competition not long ago.
He remembered that when facing Yu Shao's point 33, Dongshan Xun made this move. At that time, Yu Shao chose to top and restored it to the basic variation of point 33.
"If we push it, it will be a simple restoration, but the white piece can escape the initiative later. Since the white piece will not extend directly, the most powerful way is to not give the white piece a chance to escape the initiative."
Zhu Huaian looked at the chessboard intently, calculating the subsequent situation of the game in his mind.
"So...To?"
After a moment, Zhu Huaian finally made up his mind, picked up the chess piece, and put it down quickly.
Six columns and two rows, support!
"Teacher Zhu Huaian did not retreat, but chose the most powerful support."
Wu Zhixuan stared blankly at the chessboard not far away, feeling a little dry-mouthed for a moment. She had already predicted what the situation would be like after this game of chess.
"Teacher Zhu Huaian may not have noticed that, at first glance, the subsequent changes in the situation in this area do not seem to be too complicated, but in fact-"
"No!"
"The subsequent changes derived from this part will be so complicated that it will make your scalp numb!"
"This game of chess, a super-large and complex pattern that far exceeds the Great Avalanche, the Demon Sword, and the Great Slash, will finally be fully revealed to the world!"
Wu Zhixuan could almost imagine what kind of tsunami would be set off in the world chess arena when this game was over! After all, this is the most complex and large-scale pattern in Go so far! Not even one!
Hidden in this super large and complex pattern is the ultimate answer to life and death in Go! Zhuang Weisheng held the chess piece between his legs and fell again.
clatter! Seven columns and two rows, pull!
Wu Zhixuan was in a trance when she saw a knife slashing past her eyes! …
…
When Yu Shao won this round of national team qualifying, the first battle of the tenth-dan title tournament also came to an end!
Yes, at the same time.
The national team qualifying match does not include the countdown, so the two sides have a total of only four hours, while the title challenge match does not include the countdown, so the two sides have a total of eight hours.
However, the winner was decided almost at the same time! As the first battle of the tenth-stage title match came to an end, the whole world fell into deep shock and silence! Zhuang Weisheng, ninety-seven moves in the middle game, slays the dragon and wins!
This is a game of chess that is fought from the beginning to the end, with no chance to breathe. Every move is fatal and every step is a killing!
Zhu Huaian just made a slow move, causing the white chess piece to become more angry. When the white chess piece swung its sword at the black chess piece, the black chess piece had no power to fight back!
If each of the large branches of Big Avalanche, Big Slash and Demon Sword can be called the theory of Fa Yang, then almost every move in this game of chess can be called the theory of Fa Yang!
An extremely large and complex pattern that can only be described as terrifying was completely revealed to the world, like a golden lotus that had attained enlightenment, explaining the mystery of Go.
It makes people feel intoxicated when listening to it, but it also makes people tremble in their hearts!
This game of chess is earth-shattering! One hour after the Tenth Dan Title Tournament ended, the entire internet went wild! It is not just in China anymore. On major trending search lists around the world, the ranking of the term "Ten-Duan War" has begun to rise rapidly on the trending search lists at an incredible speed! On the Internet, countless netizens were discussing this chess game enthusiastically, and posts about the new changes that Zhuang Weisheng played in this game of Tenth Dan Tournament were popping up like mushrooms after a rain.
"It's so complicated, you can't even imagine it. I started to disassemble the variations of this form from the layout until the chess game was finished, and I didn't even finish disassembling the variations!"
"What the hell is this? How can it be so complicated? Every one or two moves, there is a big branch, and each big branch has countless small branches, and under each small branch, there are more branches!"
"In this game, both sides played from the upper left corner all the way to the entire board. Almost every move was a killer move. There was no room for loss of initiative or response. With just one slow move, the black pieces completely collapsed!"
"Is this a complex pattern that surpasses the three most difficult patterns in Go?"
"Oh my god, I haven't figured out point 33 yet, but point 33 has led to a problem that is far more difficult to solve than any large-scale formula that humans have ever solved?!"
"It's so scary. This game of chess makes my whole body numb. I have never felt the swordplay so clearly. Every move is so terrifying!"
The whole network is boiling!
In this game of chess, the changes made by Zhuang Weisheng and Zhu Huaian are so horrifying!
If it is confirmed that in this game, Xiao Fei's variation after point 33 is valid, this is really a new large-scale complex pattern that far exceeds the three previous difficult Go patterns, then this game -
It is no less than an atomic bomb exploding in the chess world!
As more and more people joined the discussion online, including some well-known professional chess players, they finally discussed that this line of variation was valid, and the entire chess world was shocked! "To have come up with a new and more difficult pattern than the three most difficult Go patterns is a historic feat!"
"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng's game of chess is enough to make him a god!"
"This is too scary. The demon sword is gone, so how come something scarier than the demon sword appears now?!"
The entire internet was buzzing with discussion about this chess game until midnight, and the discussion showed no signs of stopping, and was even getting louder.
In the second half of the night, another piece of news circulated on the Internet, which completely pushed everyone's discussion about this change to a climax!
Some people say that this pattern was not first played by Zhuang Weisheng and Zhu Huaian.
But——
Yu Shao and Su Yiming!
