Chapter 343 How can I not feel sorry that I am not his opponent?
On the side, the bald referee looked at Yu Shao silently. Looking at Yu Shao's well-defined profile, he felt a little inexplicable.
"Before this, Yu Shao's opponents were mostly young low-level chess players. Although Li Congyou, 8th Dan, is already among the best in the world in terms of chess skills, he is still young and has not won a title yet."
"But, Teacher Zhu Xinyuan is different..."
"Over the years, Mr. Zhu Xinyuan has already made a great name for himself in the world chess world. Seven years ago, he even held two major titles at the same time!"
"This is also the first time that Yu Shao has competed against a top chess player like Mr. Zhu Xinyuan. He has finally faced the test of a title holder!"
Inside the chess discussion room, everyone else had similar thoughts. They were both nervous and excited about the upcoming chess game.
Finally, after a while, the bald referee glanced at his watch, collected his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Time is up! The game time is three hours for each side, with a countdown of one and a half minutes, and Black has a handicap of seven and a half points!"
"Now, please two chess players start guessing the first move!"
As soon as the bald referee's voice fell, Zhu Xinyuan reached into the chess box, grabbed a handful of white pieces, and clenched them in his palm. Yu Shao also immediately took out two black pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
Zhu Xinyuan opened his hand, leaving five white pieces, an odd number.
This means that in this game, Zhu Xinyuan plays black and Yu Shao plays white.
The two of them quickly packed up their chess pieces and bowed to each other.
The chess game has begun.
Zhu Xinyuan looked at the chessboard in front of him with a serious expression. After two or three seconds, he finally picked up the chess piece and made his first move.
Da! Sixteen columns and four rows, stars! Seeing Zhu Xinyuan's first move to place a chess piece in the star position, Yu Shao also quickly clamped out the chess piece and gave a response.
Sixteen columns and sixteen rows, stars!
Seeing this move of white chess pieces, Zhu Xinyuan did not make a move immediately, but looked at the chessboard quietly, recalling the chess game between Yu Shao and Li Congyou not long ago.
"He defeated Li Congyou. In that game, Li Congyou obviously did not hold back at all. It can even be said that he went all out. Although Li Congyou is young, his chess skills are undoubtedly among the best."
"However, Li Congyou is a chess player who has never reached the top."
"Li Congyou and I are completely different."
Finally, Zhu Xinyuan reached into the chess box again, picked out the chess piece, and dropped it quickly!
Da! Four columns and three rows, small eye! Seeing this, Yu Shao also immediately placed his chess piece.
Three columns and sixteen rows, small eyes!
…
…
On the other side, in the lounge of the Eastern Chess Academy.
Zhuang Weisheng sat on a chair in the lounge with a chessboard in front of him and a cup of tea next to the chessboard.
He looked at the TV screen not far away, watching the live broadcast of the national players' match, and from time to time he would pick up chess pieces and place them down according to the chessboard.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the lounge.
Zhuang Weisheng caught a glimpse of the man at the door and was slightly startled. Then he smiled and asked, "Isn't this Teacher Jiang Changdong? What a rare guest, why are you here?"
Jiang Changdong at the door glanced at Zhuang Weisheng without saying anything. He walked into the lounge in silence and soon came to the opposite side of Zhuang Weisheng.
Jiang Changdong pulled out a chair and sat down before he finally spoke: "You don't seem as surprised as you say I'm here."
"Perhaps. After all, this is his first time competing against a chess player who has won a title. It is understandable that you would be interested."
Zhuang Weisheng turned his head to look at the TV screen and said, "Come to think of it, Teacher Zhu Xinyuan and I chatted for a while just now, and he said something similar to you."
"Similar to me?"
Jiang Changdong glanced at the chessboard on the table, then raised his head and looked at Zhuang Weisheng.
"Um."
Zhuang Weisheng nodded, took out a cigarette box from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Changdong.
Jiang Changdong took the cigarette and asked, "So? What did he say?"
"He said that although Li Congyou has reached a very high level, he is still young and inexperienced. If it were him..."
Seeing Zhu Xinyuan picking up the chess piece again and dropping it on the TV screen, Zhuang Weisheng picked up the chess piece and dropped it synchronously, saying, "He won't lose."
Hearing Zhuang Weisheng's words, Jiang Changdong paused in his action of taking out his lighter.
“…”
After a while, Jiang Changdong finally took out a lighter. He did not respond to Zhuang Weisheng's words, but silently lit the cigarette with the lighter and took a deep breath.
At this moment, on the TV screen, Yu Shao fell again with the white piece between his legs.
Seeing this move, Jiang Changdong couldn't help but frown.
I saw on the TV screen——
Four columns and six rows of shoulder charge!
In this game, both sides used star-small-eye layouts against star-small-eye layouts.
Afterwards, Zhu Xinyuan guarded the Wuyou corner, and Yu Shao also guarded the Wuyou corner. Then Zhu Xinyuan and Xiaofei guarded the star position, and Yu Shao also guarded the star position. Finally, Zhu Xinyuan chose to dismantle the side.
Up to this point in the game, the layout of both sides can be said to be completely calm and uneventful. They are both setting up their troops in their own territories, without interfering with each other.
However, when Zhu Xinyuan was breaking up the edge, Yu Shao chose the most extreme and fierce move, which suddenly stirred up the originally calm chess game! Shoulder attack to the Worry-free Corner! Shoulder attack to the Worry-free Corner was not the first time Yu Shao had made this move, and many chess players had tried this move recently. But even so, Jiang Changdong still felt a little complicated when he saw this move.
After all, if I had played this move of shoulder-attacking Wuyou Corner when I was learning Go in the past, I would have been criticized by my Go teacher for being too greedy.
This is a move that completely violates the chess principle of "entering the boundary slowly"! Facing the Worry-Free Corner, which was once praised as "impossible to attack", the white chess piece still charged forward head-on, colliding head-on, trying to fight to the death with the black chess piece!
"He suddenly appeared in the world of professional chess players and has been winning. He has never lost a game. It's incredible."
Jiang Changdong flicked the ash on the ashtray and suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Zhuang Weisheng couldn't help but look away from the TV screen and look at Jiang Changdong.
"Before, he only played in low-level matches, and it didn't matter if he won consecutive games, but now he has reached the title match. This time, he is facing Zhu Xinyuan, who once held two major titles at the same time!"
Jiang Changdong stared at the TV screen and continued, "He deserves to lose!"
…
…
Hands talk indoors.
On the chessboard, chess pieces kept falling one after another, making crisp sounds of metal and stone.
"Although White chose the tough shoulder attack Wuyou Corner, but... Teacher Zhu Xinyuan played it very cautiously."
"Teacher Zhu Xinyuan did not rush to counterattack. He took advantage of the weakness of the scattered white pieces and provoked a complicated battle. At this point, the situation between black and white is still similar."
The bald referee at the side was staring closely at the chess game not far away. As he examined the game, a question suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Teacher Zhu Xinyuan, did you choose this move because you were confident and wanted to control the situation, or because..."
"Teacher Zhu Xinyuan has no confidence, so he doesn't dare to take risks, and thus avoids the edge of the white chess?"
At this moment, after thinking for about five minutes, Zhu Xinyuan looked at the chessboard and finally reached into the chess box. With a serious expression, he picked up the chess piece and quickly dropped it! Da! Three columns and fifteen rows, bang! "Just touch it?!"
Everyone in the chess discussion room was shocked to see this move.
"This is the toughest move, and also the one that leaves the most room for maneuver. It leaves no room for White to survive!"
The bald referee stared at the black piece in the lower left corner. "This move is too aggressive. If we choose to force the opponent, both sides will have room to ease the situation. But this move..."
His previous question was immediately answered after seeing this move! "This move doesn't seem to be made with enough confidence to control the situation!"
"This is the most unscrupulous and strongest move to win!"
Thinking of this, the bald referee couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Yu Shao, 3rd Dan, is playing against a title holder in a formal competition for the first time!"
"How will Yu Shao Sandan play?"
"How will Mr. Zhu Xinyuan play?" "Who will win or lose?"
at this time.
Seeing Zhu Xinyuan make this move, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, and his mind kept deducing the myriad changes that would follow in the game.
"I didn't choose to force it, but bumped into it unexpectedly."
"This move is to expand the black chess pieces on the left as much as possible and make the chess pieces in my lower left corner repeat."
After thinking for a moment, Yu Shao finally picked up the chess piece and put it down again.
Four columns and fifteen rows, move! Zhu Xinyuan's eyes were deep, and he had an imposing aura without anger. He immediately took out the chess piece and followed Yu Shao, placing it on the chessboard!
Da! Three columns and fourteen rows, long! Yu Shao's expression was calm, and he quickly picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly.
Da! Two columns and sixteen rows, set!
Seeing Yu Shao's move, Zhu Xinyuan did not follow suit. He looked at the chessboard and after a few minutes of thinking, he picked up the chess piece again and put it down! Da! Five columns and thirteen rows, Xiao Fei!
…
…
In the lounge.
Seeing Zhu Xinyuan's flying move on the TV screen, Zhuang Weisheng and Jiang Changdong's expressions became a little serious.
"A very good move."
Jiang Changdong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The left side of the capture piece is beneficial to the black chess, so in this generation on the left side, the black chess has formed a large space."
"Not only that, White doesn't seem to have any good moves on the left."
Zhuang Weisheng stared at the TV screen and said, "For ordinary means of attracting troops, Black can simply make a move. If White wants to grow the outer piece, Black can also use the trick of jumping."
"So, how will he play?"
Jiang Changdong frowned and asked.
Zhuang Weisheng didn't say anything, just stared at the TV screen.
Jiang Changdong also didn't know the answer to this question. After all, if he were to play, he would not have chosen to pull back when the black pieces came into contact.
Not long after, under the gaze of the two, a white piece finally fell slowly on the TV screen.
Da! Six columns and twelve rows, shoulder charge!
Seeing this move, Zhuang Weisheng and Jiang Changdong were both stunned, and then even their expressions changed instantly.
"Six roads——"
"Six-way shoulder charge?!"
Not only them, but everyone who was paying attention to the chess game at this moment, their brains went blank when they saw Yu Shao's move, and they were completely stunned!
Everyone couldn't help but think of the game of chess between Yu Shao and Zheng Qin.
Although the game between Yu Shao and Zheng Qin was not part of the main competition and there was no scorekeeper, by now almost all of Yu Shao's chess records have been turned upside down, including the preliminaries.
In that game, when facing Zheng Qin, Yu Shao made a five-way shoulder attack.
And that five-way shoulder charge was so unbelievable that it made people suspect whether it was a wrong position move.
but……
Six-way shoulder charge, this is a move that is completely beyond human imagination!
In the past, chess theory believed that the third and fourth roads were the balance point between solidity and thickness, and the fifth road shoulder attack would be regarded as a feint or a slow move because it was difficult to obtain solid ground.
The reason is very simple. After all, victory or defeat in Go is determined by the amount of space you surround. The closer you are to the corners, the fewer moves you need to surround the space. The closer you are to the center, the more moves you need to surround the space.
The saying "the higher the level, the lower the body", means that the middle part of the body is difficult to manage. The same goes for the saying "gold horns, silver edges and grass belly".
Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to think of placing the bet in this position!
Even when seeing Yu Shao perform the Six-Road Shoulder Charge, many people's reactions, besides being stunned, were... they wanted to laugh! Yes, they wanted to laugh.
This is a difficult emotion to describe.
As they racked their brains, thinking about where the white chess piece would be placed, it turned out that the white chess piece was placed in an unexpected and inexplicable position.
Faced with such a huge contrast, people will indeed laugh when they are speechless.
What on earth are you doing? If anyone else had made this move, they would probably be considered a Go rookie, but the person who made this move... was Yu Shao.
Therefore, many people still looked at the chessboard and began to ponder the intention of this move, but the more they thought about it, the more confused they became, and the more they wanted to laugh.
I don't understand. I don't understand at all.
However, some people finally understood the hidden meaning of this move after thinking about it! In the lounge, Zhuang Weisheng and Jiang Changdong stared at the TV screen, watching the white chess piece that seemed to be shining! "This move is aimed at attacking the black chess on the left, and at the same time it is also a lead to capture the piece!"
Zhuang Weisheng looked at the TV screen and said slowly, "If the black piece climbs, the white piece will grow. If the black piece grows again, the white piece will pull back. If the black piece pulls back, the white piece will kill the black piece above!"
"It seems that the black pieces have surrounded a large number of points, but in fact, the white pieces are strong on both sides, and the middle is penetrated. If you calculate carefully, the black pieces can only take 20 points at most!"
"This move completely shatters the perception of the Golden Horned Silver Edged Grass Belly!"
"No one can see this move except him."
"Imaginative is not enough to describe this move."
"Only the Fairy from the Sky!"
On the side, Jiang Changdong said nothing, just stared at the TV screen.
Zhuang Weisheng took a deep breath, and finally moved his gaze to the chessboard in front of him. He reached into the chess box, picked out the white piece, and slowly put it down.
Six columns and twelve rows, six shoulders rush!
Zhuang Weisheng looked at this chess move for a long time, and then he spoke again: "What a pity."
Hearing this, Jiang Changdong finally looked away from the TV screen, looked at Zhuang Weisheng, and asked, "What a pity? Have you found a better trick?"
"That's not what I meant."
Zhuang Weisheng shook his head and said, "At least for now, I can't find any move that is better than this one."
"Then what do you regret?"
Jiang Changdong frowned and asked.
"It's a pity that the person sitting opposite him is Zhu Xinyuan, not me."
Zhuang Weisheng looked at the chessboard in front of him. The intricate chess game was reflected in his eyes. He continued, "Too good to hear that there is such a move..."
"Seeing such a move, as a chess player, how can I not feel sorry that his opponent is not me?"
“Winning or losing doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t matter where the location is!”
"I want to play against a chess player who can make a move like this! I'm looking forward to it!"
…
…
Hands talk indoors.
It was completely silent.
The referee and the scorekeeper stared at the chessboard in amazement. Zhu Xinyuan, who was sitting opposite Yu Shao, also looked at the board in astonishment.
But soon, Zhu Xinyuan seemed to realize something, his pupils contracted instantly, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
“It’s actually like this!”
Zhu Xinyuan looked at the white piece on the sixth path in shock. Sweat slowly slid down his cheeks, and his slightly curly hair became wet and shiny because of the sweat.
"This move is totally unexpected. Or rather, this is something that no one should have thought of!"
"Under the complex market situation, I seized the fleeting opportunity and found the strongest move."
After a long time, Zhu Xinyuan finally picked up the chess piece and quickly placed it on the board.
Three columns and eleven rows, Xiaofei!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, immediately picked up the chess piece and put it down again.
Four columns and ten rows, Xiao Fei! The black and white chess pieces began to spread across the chessboard.
"White is attacking on the left, but I can counterattack from below. If he jumps, I'll lean on him. His strongest move is to pull, so I'll retreat again. If he sticks, I'll turn!"
Zhu Xinyuan's expression became extremely cold. He reached into the chess box again and picked out the chess piece amid the sound of the chess pieces colliding.
"This way my black pieces will form a large shape below, subtly surrounding the white pieces. In the future, not only will the capture from the top be successful, but the attack from the bottom against the white pieces will also be very severe!"
Da! Six columns and thirteen rows, long! Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes, and he quickly picked up the chess piece and put it down again! Da! Ten columns and fifteen rows, Xiao Fei!
"He... underestimated Liu Lu's shoulder rush and Shang Fang Xiao Fei's pieces!"
Zhu Xinyuan's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. With this move, all his previous strategies came to nothing! Xiao Fei's intention was very clear. He wanted to forcibly strengthen the bottom. If he went to counterattack the white pieces on the sixth and fifth roads, then he would abandon his pieces to fight!
Zhu Xinyuan gritted his teeth, picked up the chess piece again, and dropped it at high speed! Da! Seven columns and twelve rows, move! Yu Shao also dropped his chess piece.
Eight columns and twelve rows, in a row!
Ta, da, da!
On the chessboard, chess pieces kept falling one after another, and as they kept falling, Zhu Xinyuan's expression became more and more ugly, and sweat kept coming out of his forehead.
"We can't go on like this!"
"I was completely seen through. It was as if he knew every move I made!"
"Moreover, every move was extremely precise, without any mistakes!"
Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, Zhu Xinyuan calmed down at this moment, looked at the chessboard, and fell into long thought.
"The situation on the left is a bit bad, but there is still room for improvement on the right and above. That is... the decisive point on the board!"
Time passes by every second.
"There is still a way to move in the lower right corner!"
Finally, after thinking for nearly ten minutes, Zhu Xinyuan's eyes changed, and he picked up the chess piece again and put it down quickly! Da! Sixteen columns and fourteen rows, bang!
Seeing that Zhu Xinyuan decided to make this move after a long consideration, Yu Shao thought for a moment, picked up the chess piece again, and slowly put it down.
Da! Seventeen columns, thirteen rows, retreat!
Zhu Xinyuan immediately picked up the chess piece and dropped it quickly!
Da! Sixteen columns and fifteen rows, top!
Yu Shao also immediately picked up the chess piece and dropped it again!
Seventeen columns and fifteen rows, block!
"There is still potential to form a pattern on the top. If we make the bottom thick and contain the white pieces, that will be the time to reverse the situation!"
Sweat dripped down Zhu Xinyuan's face, there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes, and he immediately dropped the chess piece.
Da! Seventeen columns, seventeen rows, dot three three!
The point 33 on this complex board is no longer the same as the point 33 in the layout stage. The point 33 in the layout stage is a fixed pattern, while this time it is a trick that directly attacks the vital points of the white chess pieces!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he finally reached into the chess box again, picked up the chess piece, and put it down quickly.
Da! Fifteen columns and sixteen rows, group!
"group!"
Seeing this move, the expressions of the scorekeeper and referee beside them suddenly changed! "Black's move is a desperate move, risking his life to attack the vital points of White!"
"But White refused to compromise or give in. It was an unusually tough team!"
Seeing Yu Shao's move, Zhu Xinyuan's eyes changed, but he didn't show too much surprise. His eyes became even more fierce, and he picked up the chess piece again and quickly placed it on the board! Fifteen columns and eighteen rows, pull!
The previous group had been too tough, which resulted in the black chess piece becoming an absolute first move, and the white chess piece could not resist. Yu Shao quickly took out the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
Da! Sixteen columns and eighteen rows, pull!
“Click!”
As soon as the white chess piece landed on the chessboard with the sound of it dropping, Zhu Xinyuan quickly reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece with the sound of it colliding, and dropped it quickly!
Fourteen columns and eighteen rows, stick!
"stick?"
Seeing this move, everyone who was watching the game at the moment couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Before they had time to think about it, they saw Yu Shao pick up the chess piece and drop it again.
Seventeen columns and eighteen rows, set! After this move, the black piece that had originally entered the third and third positions, ready to launch a counterattack against the white pieces, has been surrounded and killed by the white pieces! This is also the reason why everyone is puzzled by Zhu Xinyuan's sticking move. After that sticking move, the white pieces will kill the black pieces at the third and third positions, and finally they will be able to strengthen the chess shape first, and the corners will become very solid!
On the other hand, although the black pieces strengthened the periphery and successfully made it alive, the number of points was not satisfactory.
Soon, after two more moves, the lower right corner was completely formed. Zhu Xinyuan looked at the chessboard, picked out the chess piece again, and then -
Fall down quickly!
Da! Ten columns and five rows, jump!
After planning for so long, all of Black's intentions were finally revealed with this move! …………
