Chapter 345: Sacrificing Flesh and Blood to Forge Sword Bones
On the chessboard, four chess pieces landed one after another, occupying the four corners of the board respectively. The black and white pieces faced each other from a distance, as if they were in a three-way battle for supremacy!
"Just two stars against two stars?"
Zhuang Weisheng looked at the chessboard and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Yu Shao.
"This is the most common layout among all the layouts, bar none."
"It is precisely because the two stars are so common that all chess players have studied this layout very deeply and have studied its variations thoroughly, so it is relatively difficult to gain an advantage. Nowadays, it is played less frequently."
"Generally speaking, in order to win, chess players will try to avoid this kind of layout that is difficult to gain an immediate advantage, or even a popular but unpopular layout."
"But he still chose the two stars."
"Is he just thinking of placing two consecutive stars on a whim, or is he..."
When Zhu Xinyuan saw Yu Shaoyi playing two consecutive stars to compete with him, his expression remained unchanged. He just looked at the chessboard with great concentration.
"The next move is either to defend the corner or to hang the corner. One is defense and the other is attack. Both will lead the game to different complex situations."
Zhu Xinyuan seemed to have forgotten everything. In his mind, there were only countless patterns, only the interweaving and confrontation of black and white.
His calm eyes seemed to be able to see through the chessboard where only four moves had been made, and see the intricate situation on the future chessboard and the difficult problem of life and death.
"but……"
"It's because there are so many ways to play these two games, like two stars against two stars, and they have been studied too much."
"If it was any other opponent, it wouldn't matter, but he's different!"
"This young man... although he is still young, his wild and unimaginable moves can often disrupt the rhythm of the game. With his treacherous thinking, he can control the context of the game!"
"If you want to beat him, you can't just stick to the old ways, you have to come up with something surprising!"
"I play black and go first. Although I have a big handicap, I still have the advantage of going first. Therefore, I must control the rhythm of the game in my own hands."
"So, do we really have to do that?"
Time passed minute by minute, Zhu Xinyuan looked at the chessboard but did not make a move.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
You have to know that it's only the first four moves of the game, and each side has an hour and a half. It's not a short time, but it's definitely not long either. It's totally incomprehensible to spend time here thinking for a long time.
Finally, after another two minutes, Zhu Xinyuan seemed to have made a decision. His eyes were bright, as if there was a flash of light.
"Of course I know how difficult it is to go down that way!"
"Anyone knows that this kind of play is difficult to master, but if you want to control the rhythm of the game and directly determine the pattern of the entire game, that move is the most effective method!"
"Once you make that move, there's no going back. There's no chance of encircling each other's space and forming a fine chessboard. One of Black and White is destined to be annihilated!"
"Then, we must fight to the death!"
"You must control the rhythm of the chess game with a stunning attitude. In the complex and ambiguous battle, the winner will be decided by the level of chess skills!"
"Every move of chess should be pursued to be stronger and better!"
Finally, Zhu Xinyuan reached his hand into the chess box, and the chess pieces inside the box suddenly collided with each other! "In that case, let's do this!"
Amid the sound of chess pieces colliding, Zhu Xinyuan picked up the chess piece and dropped it quickly! Bang! Sixteen columns and ten rows, stars! Seeing this move, everyone around couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if they were shocked, and their bodies leaned forward slightly uncontrollably! "This move, Star!"
"Triple Stars?!"
Several young professional chess players stared at the chessboard closely, with an indelible look of astonishment on their faces. They couldn't help but hold their breath and clench their fists! Zhuang Weisheng lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard, thinking silently: "Three consecutive stars..."
The whole audience was in an uproar! "It's unbelievable that facing Yu Shao, Teacher Zhu Xinyuan actually played a triple star move!"
"Three consecutive stars... I haven't seen anyone download them for a long, long time."
"The last time I was deeply impressed by three consecutive stars was Su Yiming's set at the Yingjiao Cup!"
"And in that game of chess, Su Yiming's opponent was also Yu Shao!"
Yes.
This move.
Not guarding the corner!
It's not a hanging corner either! But... break the edges to the star position!
Everyone knows that Triple Stars is not easy to master, but Triple Stars still attracts countless chess players with its magnificent and grand conception! In Yu Shao’s previous life, even though almost all AIs felt that the Triple Star was at a disadvantage, there were still top professional chess players who would still be able to play the Triple Star in major competitions!
That is the eternal charm of the three stars that cannot be erased even after going through the vicissitudes of time. It exudes an arc of wisdom that is unique to human beings. Even the Go AI cannot completely deny it! Because, even though the Go AI itself thinks that Three Stars is not good, when Go AI plays against other Go AI, it still loses to Three Stars!
Sacrifice flesh and blood to forge sword bones! To place three stars in a row means to abandon the edges and go all out to fight for the Central Plains!
This shocking and powerful spirit eventually forged a killing sword called the Three Stars! The triple stars must be formed, and the opponent must invade and break in. The two sides are destined to have an extremely brutal and deadly battle, and the loser will be annihilated!
At this moment, Zhu Xinyuan drew out the sword again, making a clanging sound, the sound of the sword was shocking! Zhu Xinyuan raised his head and looked at Yu Shao opposite him.
"bring it on!"
…
…
"Did you choose the Tri-Star?"
Yu Shao looked at the black piece located in the star position on the wing. Looking at this chess piece, he seemed to be able to feel the strong fighting spirit and will to fight on the other side of the chessboard.
After a moment's silence, Yu Shao finally reached into the chess box again, picked up the chess piece, and put it down gently.
clatter! Fourteen columns and three rows, Xiaofei!
"Instead of choosing San San, you chose Xiao Fei, the most common way to deal with the triple stars?"
Seeing Yu Shao’s response to the Three Stars, everyone around was stunned.
Yu Shao's move was completely beyond their expectations.
Previously, in the Yingjiao Cup, Yu Shao faced Su Yiming's three stars and played his signature three-three. In the end, the two of them presented the world with a famous game that was destined to go down in history!
That game of chess was tragic to the extreme, but also heroic to the climax. With the sudden death of two big dragons, the game entered the endgame and the winner was finally decided.
Because of this chess game in the past, everyone thought that Yu Shao would choose 33 without hesitation.
However, this time, facing Zhu Xinyuan who once held two major titles at the same time, Yu Shao unexpectedly chose Xiao Fei, the most common move before to deal with the triple stars when Dian San San had not appeared!
Yu Shao did not choose San San, but played Xiao Fei. Although this was also beyond Zhu Xinyuan's expectations, Zhu Xinyuan's expression remained calm, looking at the chessboard with great concentration.
Not long after, Zhu Xinyuan finally picked out the chess piece again and slowly let it fall.
clatter! Sixteen columns and six rows, single level to guard the corner!
Seeing the black chess piece fall, Yu Shao quickly picked out another chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
clatter! Fourteen columns and seventeen rows, Xiao Fei is hanging!
"Take it off and go to the corner below!"
Zhu Xinyuan's eyes were slightly stern, and he immediately picked up the chess piece and put it down again.
clatter! Sixteen columns and fourteen rows, a single level to guard the corner! At this point, the white pieces have made small flying moves in the upper right and lower right corners respectively. Facing the white pieces that took the initiative to attack, the black pieces also responded fairly, both defending the corners with a single move! At this time, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, picked up the chess piece again, and dropped it quickly.
clatter! Fifteen columns and fifteen rows, stab!
Seeing this move, everyone couldn't help but feel frightened and a little thirsty.
"prick!"
Someone couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's actually a stab. I've never seen this before. This is a new move!"
"Faced with Black's single-horn defense, White chose to remain silent and test Black's response!"
Someone swallowed his saliva, his mood fluctuating: "However, this kind of test response is not to get rid of the initiative and seek a big game, but to use a stab, strongly requiring Black to express his position!"
Zhu Xinyuan looked at the chessboard calmly. Seeing this move that he had never seen before, his expression was solemn, and he kept calculating the subsequent changes of the chessboard in his mind.
This move seemed to be just a test move, but Zhu Xinyuan had a vague feeling that there were other things hidden behind this test move! "I see!"
Finally, after a while, Zhu Xinyuan seemed to have finally figured something out. He took out the chess piece again and made a move at a high speed.
clatter! Sixteen columns and fifteen rows, stick!
Seeing that the black chess piece chose to stick, Yu Shao immediately clamped out the chess piece and placed it down again.
Sixteen columns and eighteen rows, Xiao Fei! "Do you think I'm good at this?"
Seeing Yu Shao's Xiao Fei move, Zhu Xinyuan was not surprised at all, and his eyes darkened slightly.
"No, I won't!"
"Sharp 3-3 is indeed a good move at first glance, but if it is really sharp 3-3, think carefully, the previous stab by White and my sticky exchange is actually White's advantage!"
Zhu Xinyuan reached into the chess box again and took out the chess piece.
"It won't be what you want!"
clatter! Six columns and three rows, Xiaofei! "The black piece didn't play the sharp three-three move, but instead hung the white piece in the upper left corner, attacking the white piece in the star position in the upper left corner?"
Seeing this move, everyone around couldn't help but widen their eyes: "Why?!"
Even among the characters, those young professional chess players were all shocked and puzzled at this moment, and they seemed unable to understand why the black chess piece did not use the sharp three-three move.
Only Zhuang Weisheng and Jiang Changdong looked at the chessboard in silence, their expressions gloomy.
Everyone re-examined the chess game with confusion. Gradually, those young professional chess players seemed to realize something suddenly and their pupils shrank slightly.
"I see……"
"If we use the sharp three-three move, it seems that we have not only taken the territory, but also cut off the white pieces' chance of survival. But in fact, the black pieces don't have any good means to inflict damage to the white pieces!"
"If the black pieces can't do anything to the white pieces, and both sides survive, because of the exchange of the white pieces' stabs and the black pieces' sticking, the white pieces will be able to gain a slight advantage!"
"Yes, it's only a slight advantage, but it's a real advantage!"
"And even this was seen through by Teacher Zhu Xinyuan!"
"And he is so stingy that he won't give up even the slightest advantage, so the black chess piece will forcefully take the lead and hang in the upper left corner to launch a strong attack on the black chess piece!"
Several young professional chess players couldn't help but look at Zhu Xinyuan, and were extremely impressed.
"To my surprise, you even took this into account!"
"So handsome! As expected of Mr. Zhu Xinyuan!"
"The gap is too big. This is just a test at the beginning, but it actually hides such a mystery. If you are not careful, you will fall!"
"We didn't realize anything was wrong until Teacher Zhu Xinyuan took off his clothes and got rid of Xiao Fei. That's when we realized the problem!"
"Teacher Zhu Xinyuan saw through the killing trap set by Yu Shao for him!"
Under the gaze of the people around him, Yu Shao's expression remained unchanged. Facing the strong attack of the black chess piece in the corner, he clamped out the chess piece again and countered the move.
clatter! Three columns and six rows, Xiaofei! "The next move, a direct double attack seems to be the strongest move, directly surround and kill the white piece hanging in the upper right corner!"
However, Zhu Xinyuan quickly remembered the last game of chess he had just finished with Yu Shao not long ago!
"But, just like in the last game, if I attack directly from both sides, the white piece may be able to move around!"
“We must pursue a stronger and more powerful hand!”
Zhu Xinyuan stared at the chessboard closely, observing the mystery of every move hidden on this crisscrossing chessboard! "The Tri-Stars are known for their big appearance, and big appearance is synonymous with attack!"
"So, we must exert our strength to gradually suppress the white pieces, and eventually form a pattern to completely cut off the white pieces' chance of survival!"
"If you want to attack, you must accumulate strength and have a subtle plan, hoping that he won't notice, and then attack directly and defeat him!"
"He...can sense it!"
Zhu Xinyuan looked at the chessboard, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
"If you want to defeat him, you must accumulate incredible strength, so much so that even if he notices it, he will be powerless to do anything!"
Suddenly, Zhu Xinyuan's gaze focused, his eyes fixed on a point on the chessboard.
“Here!”
Then, Zhu Xinyuan picked up the chess piece and dropped it quickly! Bang! Fifteen columns and three rows, with a pointed top!
"We must put the white chess piece to death and fight until the end!"
Although he had already made his move, Zhu Xinyuan still stared at the chessboard with a cold gaze! "Don't give White any chance to take advantage!"
"The winner will be decided between you and me here!"
At this moment, seeing the black chess piece's move, not only the guests in the chess hall and the group of young professional chess players, but even Zhuang Weisheng and Jiang Changdong's expressions changed instantly! "steeple?!"
A young professional chess player pushed his round-frame glasses on his nose and looked at the chessboard in disbelief. At that moment, he realized the infinite magic of the black chess move!
And the moment he saw this move, he even wanted to kneel down! "wonderful!"
“That’s wonderful!”
"The double attack here seems to be an inevitable move, but this tip is absolutely brilliant!"
"Facing the pinnacle, White's move to extend is inevitable. If White extends, Black can then attack from both sides, and the situation will be very different!"
The young man with glasses felt a little dry in the mouth and his heart was beating fast!
"Because when the white chess piece grows—"
“It’s getting heavier!”
"This move seized the most mysterious opportunity on the board and also comprehended the secret of importance!"
On the side, other professional chess players were also staring in amazement, with beads of sweat the size of beans slowly flowing down their cheeks.
"Strong, too strong!"
At this moment, they had only one same thought in their minds!
"Teacher Zhu Xinyuan, this game is completely different from the one played by the national players in this tournament!"
They had all seen the game between Yu Shao and Zhu Xinyuan in the national players' match. At this moment, they could feel more deeply the difference between Zhu Xinyuan in this game and the previous one! "Teacher Zhu Xinyuan played extremely calmly and with extreme restraint, and every move he made was merciless!"
"From the three consecutive stars, to the previous strong attack, to the current sharp move, Mr. Zhu Xinyuan is really going to use all his skills to fight Yu Shao to the death!"
"This is Teacher Zhu Xinyuan! Famous in the chess world for his domineering and aggressive style of play, Teacher Zhu Xinyuan once held two major titles at the same time!"
On the chessboard!
This chess piece located in the fifteenth column and third row seems to be shining brightly! Someone couldn't help but look up and look at Yu Shao. When he saw Yu Shao's expression, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Yu Shao stared at the chessboard, looking at the pointed black piece, but his expression was... extremely calm.
The next moment, Yu Shao slowly reached his hand into the chess box, and the chess pieces suddenly collided with a sound.
“Click!”
Amid the sound of chess pieces colliding with each other, Yu Shao picked up the chess piece and slowly placed it on the plate under the gaze of everyone.
clatter! Seventeen columns and three rows, dot three three! The chess piece fell, like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples.
After seeing this move, everyone who had been shocked and excited by Jianding's brilliant move just now suddenly became silent! quiet! So quiet! Zhu Xinyuan looked at the chessboard, his pupils trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Yu Shao opposite him!
"Seventeen columns and three rows, dot three three?!"
On the side, Zhuang Weisheng and Jiang Changdong were looking at the chessboard in shock, looking at the white piece at position 33!
Zhuang Weisheng looked down at the chessboard and couldn't help muttering, "At this time, should I click on 33?"
When facing a pointed top, long is almost the inevitable move. After all, the pointed top itself is an ancient and prestigious pattern. The chess shape is that the black piece is pointed and the white piece is long!
However, facing the sharp top move by Black, White did not choose the seemingly inevitable long move, but instead -
Click on three three!
"Try to respond!"
Jiang Changdong stared at the chessboard, his heart filled with turbulent waves.
"This move seems outrageous. It's not something a normal person would think of making. But in fact, it's not that bad!"
"He is still trying to figure out how Black can respond. Although it is very risky to hit the three-three position, Black will not be able to hold on to White's piece for a while!"
Although the subsequent changes in this local area were somewhat complicated, Jiang Changdong actually calculated the subsequent changes in the board at this time!
"If the black pieces block it, then the white pieces will move upwards. With the white pieces connected, the black pieces will naturally suffer a great loss!"
"If Black chooses to set up a block, then this move and the three-three exchange will naturally be cheaper for White. All it needs to do is simply fly and use the live piece on the right to fix the block!"
"It seems that the only option for Black is to use the most forceful method to push from above and kill White!"
"But this toughness is not just Black's own toughness, but White's forcing Black to be tough to the end!"
"White also refuses to compromise and even wants to checkmate Black!"
Jiang Changdong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
If the white pieces are long, the black pieces' pincer attack is also a strong killing move, but in this area, the white pieces just happen to make an incredible move of point three three, so the black pieces must also make a strong move to surround and kill the white pieces.
The biggest difference between the two is that in one the black pieces are active and in the other they are passive, but the same thing is that in both cases the white pieces are the attacked ones! If that's the case, why not just grow it?
"Because... White doesn't want to follow Black's lead!"
"Even if I'm being attacked, I want Kuroko to attack according to my own ideas!"
Soon, Zhu Xinyuan's eyes changed, and a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes. He picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly! clatter! Fourteen columns and eighteen rows, pull!
The black chess piece took the toughest stance, and with this move, it directly cut off the white pieces' retreat route, intending to completely surround and kill the white chess piece at the 33 position!
When Yu Shao saw this move, his expression was not surprised. He quickly picked up the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard again!
clatter! Eighteen columns and six rows, big fly!
"Just fly straight up, so light and graceful!"
Some people around saw this move, their faces were shocked, and they couldn't help but whisper.
Although his murmur was very quiet, a professional chess player next to him still heard it and couldn't help but look at him.
In fact, as a professional chess player, he was not surprised at all that Yu Shao made this big move.
In the eyes of these amateur chess players, this big flying move is already a light and graceful move. In his opinion, this big flying move is also a good move.
However, I am afraid that for a chess player of Yu Shao's level, this big flying move is just an ordinary routine!
He had no doubt about this! He looked at the chessboard and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This game of chess was tit-for-tat and full of twists and turns from the very beginning. Almost every move had hidden intentions and thorns, which shocked him deeply!
"How will this game of chess turn out?"
"Who will win and who will lose?"
On the chessboard, black and white pieces continue to fall.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath as they watched the fierce battle between black and white in the upper right corner of the chessboard. Their heartbeats beat as the chess pieces fell! The white pieces are flying very lightly, and the black pieces can no longer attack the white pieces by force, so they have to surround and kill them and advance slowly.
However, the white chess piece immediately fought back, trying to bite the black chess piece's tendons, but the black chess piece immediately retaliated, directly using the shackles, trying to penetrate the white chess piece!
To everyone, every move made by both sides seemed to be stained with blood!
"It's a close call. Black has gained something, but White has also gained a lot!"
Zhuang Weisheng was also looking at the chessboard intently, even though he was completely immersed in this killing game!
Soon, the black chess piece fell again.
clatter! Eighteen columns and ten rows, jump! "This jump move not only searches for the root, to find out the thin taste of white pieces, but also surrounds the empty space, to form a large empty space!"
Seeing this move, everyone's expressions became more focused, and they felt the power of this move!
In this game of chess, it is destined that either you die or I live!
