Chapter 334 Inexplicably and Unconsciously
Even people who don't know how to play Go know more or less the saying about the golden corners, silver edges and grass belly.
The so-called gold corners, silver edges and grass belly means that the value of the four corners is like gold, the value of the four sides is like silver, and the value of the center of the chessboard is like grass.
After the white piece hangs in the corner, the black piece should use a small flying piece. The next move of the white piece is either to fly into the corner or to directly hit it and engage in close combat with the white piece.
There is also a relatively rare way of playing, which is either to dismantle the edge, or to ignore it, directly take it off first, and then go to other positions to hang the corner.
However, White's move did not choose to fly into the corner, nor did it touch the corner. It was not to break the edge, nor to lose the initiative, but rather -
Just jump away, land on the five roads, and walk into the air!
This move is completely contrary to the Golden Horn and Silver Edge Grass Belly. It is a completely incredible and beyond imagination!
Feng Ruotao looked at the white chess piece on the chessboard. Although he had long thought that Yu Shao might not play according to his plan, he never expected that after only three moves, the situation would be beyond his expectations!
Finally, after a while, Feng Ruotao took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, picked up the chess piece again, and put it down quickly! Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, and immediately picked up the chess piece and put it down again.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The two of them made moves very quickly.
…
…
On the other side, table number one.
In this game, facing the black pieces occupying two corners at the beginning, Su Yiming also chose to occupy the lower right corner with a small eye, while Fan Tianhong chose to defend the upper left corner with the same small eye.
Then Su Yiming's Xiaofei hung in the lower left corner, and Fan Tianhong's Xiaofei guarded the corner.
Then, in this move, Su Yiming escaped and chose to launch an attack on the small eye in the upper left corner.
Five columns and three rows, Xiaofei hangs!
"It's hanging on Xiaomu..."
Fan Tianhong looked at the chessboard calmly, calculating various responses in his mind.
"For this move, the double-attack is the most powerful, but the changes will be a bit intense, which is not conducive to controlling the situation."
"Choosing the tip will be a little slow. If both parties have the first move, then the tip is naturally not good, but I have a huge advantage of handicap. Even if the tip is a little slow, the chess shape will be very solid!"
Fan Tianhong couldn't help but glance at Su Yiming opposite him, only to see that Su Yiming was looking down at the chessboard, with no emotion visible on his face.
"I have to admit the gap between him and me. I am definitely not his opponent in terms of physical strength, but this is a handicap game after all!"
"He is just like Shen Yi, very good at surrounding the opponent and waiting for him to invade and break in before surrounding and annihilating him!"
"Fortunately, Feng Ruotao also plays the same style of chess. Since I lost to Feng Ruotao, I have studied this style of chess a lot. In this game, I will make sure that he can't form a big circle!"
"I must first be invincible, so that I can defeat the enemy!"
Thinking of this, Fan Tianhong finally made a judgment. He immediately reached into the chess box, picked out the chess piece, and dropped it quickly!
Da! Four columns and five rows, sharp!
Seeing Fan Tianhong's sharp choice, Su Yiming showed a trace of barely perceptible surprise in his eyes, but it soon disappeared, and he picked up the chess piece and dropped it at a high speed.
Da! Seventeen columns and six rows, Xiaofei!
"She took it off again..."
Fan Tianhong took a deep breath, picked up another chess piece from the chess box, and dropped it at lightning speed.
Da! Fifteen columns and seventeen rows, Xiaofei is dead!
The black pieces chose to turn a blind eye to the white pieces' attack, and launched a fierce attack on the white pieces in the lower right corner. With a tough attitude, the black pieces did not give the white pieces a chance to defend the corner!
"When I need to be cautious, I will be cautious, but when I need to be ruthless, I will be ruthless."
Fan Tianhong stared at the chessboard with sharp eyes, waiting for Su Yiming's next move.
"The best defense is offense. This is what I learned from Yu Shao's chess records!"
…
…
Time goes by.
The scorekeeper who was in charge of recording the three chess games at tables three, four and five looked at the chess games, feeling nervous but also a little shocked.
Handicap of two stones is already a very big gap. When handicap of two stones is given, even a top chess player has a great chance of losing when facing a professional beginner.
You know, since these five young players ranked top five in the Young Tigers Tournament, they must have reached the level of a professional beginner, or even higher! After all, when top players face some talented beginners, there are many examples of them failing even if they just give up the first move, let alone giving up two pieces?
However, the chess skills displayed by Chen Shan and the other two in this game still really surprised them.
Even with such a heavy burden on their shoulders, the three white pieces are still not at a disadvantage in the game with the black pieces!
Every move made by the white chess piece seems to be powerful, with the amazing courage to hold up the sky even if it collapses, to turn the tide and support the collapsing building!
However, these young men who were striving for the dan level were obviously not easy to deal with. They tried their best to bite the opponent to death and fought endlessly with Heizi!
And at this time.
The music notator who was in charge of recording the chess game at table number two was looking at the chess game between Yu Shao and Feng Ruotao with lingering fear.
"The jump of the white chess pieces on the fifth road is extremely strange. I thought the white chess pieces were going to move in the sky, but it turned out that the white chess pieces seemed to return to the ground. I don't understand it at all..."
The scorekeeper looked at the chess game with confusion in his eyes.
White's previous jump move was earth-shattering and completely violated the principles of chess.
If the white chess pieces really focus on the middle of the board, and want to forcefully build a large shape in the middle of the board, and rely on the difference in chess strength to forcefully attack the black chess pieces, then this way of playing, although unreasonable, is not unreasonable.
However, White's subsequent moves were all weird and absurd. They were clearly in the sky, but the subsequent moves were confined to the corners.
What on earth is going on? This question popped up in her mind.
She was not the only one who had this question. Feng Ruotao, who was sitting opposite Yu Shao, was even more confused.
Feng Ruotao took a deep breath, looked at the board, and quickly picked up another chess piece and placed it on the board.
"Did you jump?"
When the female scorekeeper saw Feng Ruotao's move, she came to her senses and immediately slid the mouse to record the move.
Fourteen columns, eleven rows, jump! Yu Shao looked at the chessboard quietly, but did not make a move immediately.
Seeing that Yu Shao seemed to be lost in thought, the scorekeeper also looked at the chessboard, taking the perspective of the white chess piece, thinking about where the white chess piece would land.
"With this move, White can jump up a bit, or get rid of the first move and go to the three-three point... It seems like it would be a good idea to go down and break the edge."
The female music notator suddenly became thoughtful: "There are many positions to choose from, no wonder Yu Shao Er Duan was in trouble."
Finally, the "click" sound of chess pieces colliding was heard again.
The female music notator came to her senses and immediately looked towards Yu Shao.
Yu Shao reached his hand into the chess box, and amid the sound of chess pieces colliding, he slowly picked out the white piece, and slowly placed it on the chessboard under the gaze of the female scorekeeper.
Da! Thirteen rows and thirteen columns, Da Fei! Seeing this move, the female scorekeeper was completely stunned. Her mind went blank as she stared blankly at the chessboard not far away.
"Walking in the sky again?"
At this moment, she didn't even know whether this was a game of Go!
Looking at this move, she was completely confused and had no idea what the white chess piece was going to do. It was so confusing that her three views were completely overturned!
"How can someone play chess like this?!"
Opposite Yu Shao, Feng Ruotao was completely stunned by this big move.
After five or six minutes, Feng Ruotao finally came to his senses. He gritted his teeth, then picked up the chess piece and put it down again.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The chess pieces kept falling on the chessboard, making crisp sounds!
As time passed, more and more black and white chess pieces fell on the chessboard, and a trace of cold sweat began to quietly appear on Feng Ruotao's forehead!
"Gudong!"
On the side, the female music recorder swallowed hard and looked at the chessboard not far away in disbelief.
At this moment, her three views were finally completely overturned!
"Is this still a handicap game?"
She looked at the chessboard not far away, looking at the complicated situation with a confused expression.
"I don't know since when, the white pieces have been suppressing the black pieces. After being given two pieces, the black pieces have been beaten all the way, and they are... unable to fight back at all!"
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed.
Feng Ruotao looked at the chessboard in front of him and did not put his hand into the chess box again. His lips moved slightly, but he could not speak.
"I……"
He slowly lowered his head and looked at the chessboard, his vision beginning to become blurry.
"I……"
In the end, Feng Ruotao blurted out the words in a daze, his tone more unbelievable than shocked: "I lost..."
It seemed that compared to the fact that he lost, what was more difficult for him to accept was why he lost the game of chess and why he lost without any chance of fighting back!
Seeing Feng Ruotao surrender, Yu Shao bowed his head and saluted Feng Ruotao.
It took Feng Ruotao a long time to come back to his senses, but his expression was still a little dull as he returned the greeting to Yu Shao.
"Yu Shao, have you won?"
At this time, Chen Shan, who was sitting at table number three, also noticed that the winner of table number two had been decided, and his expression suddenly became a little surprised.
He had put in a lot of effort in this game of chess, and now he had just gained the upper hand, but Yu Shao had already won? This was a handicap game! Seeing the young man sitting opposite him looking at the chessboard, thinking intently, Chen Shan thought for a moment, stood up, walked to table number two, and cast his eyes towards the chessboard.
On the chessboard, the chess pieces only took up one-third of the board. The two sides were fighting in the lower right corner. The outcome of this decisive battle was...
"Black chess, all annihilated..."
Seeing this result, Chen Shan was stunned for a moment.
Although he didn't know the course of the game, he could roughly judge from the final situation that the black pieces were probably being chased by the white pieces from the beginning to the end.
There is a live black piece below, and judging from the situation on the board, it seems that the live black piece was deliberately left alive by the white piece in order to control the board! "How did this game of chess end up like this?"
Chen Shan looked at the chessboard, confused for a moment.
This was a handicap game, and although the opponent was not a professional chess player, he was one of the top five players in the major arenas, and was definitely not an ordinary player! With a handicap of two pieces, the opponent was beaten all the way? Suddenly, Chen Shan seemed to have thought of something, and quickly raised his head and looked at table number one.
Seeing that the game between Su Yiming and Fan Tianhong had not yet ended, Chen Shan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked to table number one and looked at the chess game.
However, after just one look at the chessboard, Chen Shan was stunned again.
"Such a... startling appearance?"
On the chessboard, the white pieces have formed a terrifyingly large shape, like a high bank and a deep valley, waiting for the black pieces to fall into the trap and then catch them in the jar! "How did he form such a large shape when he was giving up two pieces?"
"And anyone who has studied Su Yiming's chess records should know that he is good at managing the middle part of the board to engage in a tangle with his opponent. He should try his best to prevent the white pieces from forming a large shape!"
Chen Shan turned his head to look at Fan Tianhong, but saw that Fan Tianhong was sweating profusely, staring at the chessboard, his eyelids were twitching slightly, and his expression...even looked a little horrified! At this moment, Su Yiming picked up the chess piece again and slowly put it down.
Twelve columns and fourteen rows, cover!
…
…
Not long after, the five games of the Tiger Cub Battle were finally over.
In the end, with two handicaps, except for the young player at table number four who managed to beat Lubo by one and a half points, the other four were completely defeated.
After the Tiger Cub Game ended, the five of them walked together to the cafeteria of the chess academy. The four who lost the game remained silent. Only the young man with thick eyebrows, who was the only winner, had a smiling face.
"Feng Ruotao, didn't you say you wanted to win for me?"
After walking in silence for a while, Fan Tianhong suddenly spoke up and asked, "How did you lose?"
Feng Ruotao still looked distraught and seemed still immersed in the game of chess.
"I don't understand it at all. The winners and losers are so obvious out of nowhere... and in the blink of an eye, I'm being beaten all the way."
Feng Ruotao showed a trace of confusion on his face: "I can't even see the gap."
Hearing this, the thick-browed young man was a little surprised and asked, "What a weird thing? Don't you even know how you lost?"
"How could I know? Those moves are beyond my imagination. They don't seem like Go at all. Every move was beyond my expectations."
Feng Ruotao fell silent after he finished speaking. Suddenly he looked at Fan Tianhong and asked, "What about you? How did you lose?"
"I?"
Fan Tianhong was silent for a moment, and then he slowly replied, "I thought about not letting him do it in a big way, and he didn't seem to want to do it at all, but... before I knew it, he did it in a big way."
"unconsciously?"
The young man with thick eyebrows looked at Feng Ruotao, then at Fan Tianhong, and was completely confused.
One was inexplicable, the other was unaware? "Maybe... Yu Shao is really better than Su Yiming." Feng Ruotao said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Fan Tianhong's eyes suddenly widened, and he spitted and said, "Bullshit! Su Yiming is obviously more powerful!"
"Yu Shao is even more powerful!"
"Su Yiming!"
Seeing that the two seemed to be about to quarrel again, the sturdy young man quickly separated them and started to play peacemaker: "Okay, okay, what's there to quarrel about? You're both very powerful. Why do you have to judge who's better?"
Although they were forcibly pulled apart by the burly young man, the two were obviously unwilling to give in. They glared at each other, and finally snorted coldly and turned their heads away to the left and right.
The group walked in silence until they reached the entrance of the chess academy cafeteria, when Feng Ruotao suddenly stopped.
Feng Ruotao looked at Fan Tianhong and asked, "What do you think the next game between Yu Shao and Su Yiming will be like?"
"I have no idea."
Fan Tianhong took a deep breath, shook his head, and walked towards the cafeteria while answering: "But I think that will definitely be a peak contest that will surpass all the best in the world!"
