Chapter 349: The eternal injustice, the blood and tears of generations
Everyone watched this scene in silence.
"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng..."
The young man wearing glasses stared at Zhuang Weisheng blankly, noticed the expression on Zhuang Weisheng's face, and was moved.
"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, how can you say such things with such an attitude?"
Zhuang Weisheng is the lifelong role model of countless chess players. Countless chess players take Zhuang Weisheng as their goal and keep moving forward. The three words "Zhuang Weisheng" are almost synonymous with chess players.
As a Go player standing at the top of the world, Zhuang Weisheng has also said many times that he is looking forward to playing against someone.
However, at this moment he could clearly feel that Zhuang Weisheng's attitude when he said this was completely different from when he said this before.
In the past, when Zhuang Weisheng said this, it felt more like an appreciation for the younger generation, and an encouragement and affirmation for those who came after him.
However, now that Zhuang Weisheng said this, he actually felt a sense of awe from it, and rather than being an affirmation and appreciation of the younger generation, it was more like -
challenge!
The moment these two words appeared in his mind, even he himself found it unbelievable.
“Although I am in awe, I still have the courage to face strong opponents.”
"A chess player can only grow in this situation."
“Chase with a trembling body, and challenge with awe.”
"Only in this way can we reach a higher level of Go."
For some reason, the words his Go teacher said when he was a child suddenly seemed to echo in his ears!
"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, are you challenging a 17-year-old boy who has just become a professional chess player for less than a year?"
Not only him, but everyone in the chess hall at this moment vaguely felt this from Zhuang Weisheng's attitude and tone.
quiet.
The entire chess hall suddenly became quieter.
Yu Shao looked at Zhuang Weisheng, and after a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "I am also looking forward to the day when I can compete with you on the field."
Zhuang Weisheng didn't say anything else. Under the gaze of everyone, he turned and left.
Seeing Zhuang Weisheng leave without saying a word, Jiang Changdong also looked at Yu Shao deeply, took a deep breath, and finally turned around and left.
After the two of them left, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard in front of him again with a puzzled look in his eyes.
On the chessboard, black and white are clearly separated, yet intertwined.
On this chessboard, one can seem to catch a glimpse of all the Go masters of the past four thousand years, as well as a glimpse of the emotionless Go AI in another world that overwhelms all the players.
The two not only spanned time, but also spanned space! In the end, a tragic battle of life and death unfolded on this crisscrossing 19-way chessboard!
Zizi is in tears!
Every drop is stained with blood!
The extremely brutal fight on the chessboard seems to be still vivid in my mind!
After a moment, Yu Shao silently reached out his hand, picked up the chess pieces one by one from the chessboard, and put them into the chess box.
Not long after, after putting away all the chess pieces, Yu Shao slowly stood up.
There was still complete silence all around.
Under the silent gaze of the crowd, Yu Shao quietly walked through the crowd and left the chess hall.
After Yu Shao left, the chess hall remained quiet. Everyone looked at Zhu Xinyuan, who was still sitting quietly at the side of the chess table, with complicated eyes.
They looked at the chessboard again. Even though the game was over and the pieces had been put away, the sound of the pieces falling seemed to still be in their ears, and it still deeply shook their hearts.
Tick, tick, tick! The clock hanging high on the wall was still ticking.
It was still daylight when the two arrived at the chess hall, but after the game was over, the whole world was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the light in the chess hall was extremely dim.
Everyone's heart is complicated and heavy.
When they knew that Zhu Xinyuan was going to play chess with Yu Shao here, they were excited because they could see the game between two masters, and believed that this game would be exciting.
In the end, they got what they wanted.
It's really wonderful.
But when the game ended, they did not feel excited at all because they had witnessed a wonderful game, but only felt endless heaviness in their hearts.
It's just too wonderful.
In fact, this is a chess game that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
Precisely because of the birth of this kind of chess game, the game is destined to be tragic.
When a general achieves success, thousands of soldiers will die.
They just felt sad.
"After this, perhaps we will see many, many, many chess games, but this one, I think, we will never forget it for the rest of our lives..."
Someone in the crowd looked at the chessboard and spoke in a low voice.
No one answered around.
After a while, people finally started to turn around and leave.
When they left the chess hall and saw the dimly lit and busy streets outside the hall, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of loss...
…
…
Half an hour later.
I don't know who posted the chess game between Yu Shao and Zhu Xinyuan in the chess hall online, along with a few photos of the chess hall.
Then--
The popularity of the chess game between Yu Shao and Zhu Xinyuan on the Internet began to ferment wildly at an astonishing speed! "Second game?"
"Didn't we just finish a game?"
"A battle of revenge? Who wins and who loses?"
When Yu Shao and Zhu Xinyuan finished their second game of chess, it was already around seven o'clock in the evening. At that time, many netizens were still discussing the first game of chess between Yu Shao and Zhu Xinyuan, but unexpectedly, the second game would follow!
And after the chess record of this game was leaked, it spread rapidly in less than two hours! At first, only one or two people saw it, and then they immediately forwarded it and called their friends, who then called and shared it with other friends...
This game of chess was spread like wildfire on the Internet, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred!
This game of chess is so shocking! Especially since Zhu Xinyuan had just played a game with Yu Shao before, this game seemed particularly tragic and shocking when viewed with that one in mind!
At first, this game of chess was only spread on the domestic Internet, but it soon spread abroad, and its popularity began to rise wildly on the foreign Internet at an alarming rate! …
…
Night, Jiangling, in a hotel.
Ding Huan stared at the computer screen, at the Go game records on the screen, frowned tightly, and smoked one cigarette after another, but he couldn't write a single draft.
He was responsible for writing reports about this game of chess. Although the game was quite exciting with over a hundred points of fighting between the two sides, he just didn't feel anything.
"Alas... the manuscript is due tomorrow."
Ding Huan scratched his hair and looked at the computer screen with a sad face. After struggling for a long time, he still didn't know how to start writing.
Ding-ling-ling! Soon, Ding Huan took out the cigarette box again and was about to smoke another cigarette when the cell phone on the computer desk suddenly rang.
Ding Huan rubbed his temple, picked up the phone and took a look. When he found that it was Ma Zhengyu calling, his already bitter face became even more bitter.
"well……"
Ding Huan sighed and answered the call.
Before Ma Zhengyu on the other end of the phone could speak, Ding Huan said weakly, "I'm almost done, don't rush me. Also, the donkeys in the production team can rest more than I can. I've already--"
On the other end of the phone, Ma Zhengyu interrupted Ding Huan and asked excitedly, "Have you read the chess record posted online?"
"The chess record on the Internet?"
Hearing Ma Zhengyu's words, Ding Huan was startled and puzzled: "What chess record?"
"Today's game between Yu Shao Sandan and Teacher Zhu Xinyuan!" Ma Zhengyu said immediately.
"Which game was played between Yu Shao and Teacher Zhu Xinyuan in the national competition?"
Ding Huan rolled his eyes and complained, "I saw it. It would have been great if you had asked me to write that report, but you had to arrange this game for me. It's not that this game is bad, but I just--"
Ding Huan was interrupted by Ma Zhengyu again when he was halfway through his words: "I'm not talking about the national players' match, but the second game after their chess game ended!"
"Second game?"
Ding Huan was a little confused: "They played another round?"
"Get off!"
Ma Zhengyu's tone was somewhat anxious, and he immediately urged: "Don't worry about this manuscript for now, go and look at that chess record immediately, and then write the manuscript overnight!"
"No, Chairman Ma, although I am an ox or a horse, an ox or a horse is not a superman. It takes at least two or three days to write a manuscript. How can I write it in one night?"
Ding Huan looked puzzled and asked, "And is it so urgent? This isn't a formal match, it's just a private game between two people, why is there a need to write an article?"
"Just look at that chess game and you'll know!"
Ma Zhengyu's tone became more and more anxious: "It's too popular! Now the whole Internet has gone crazy!"
"Our Go Academy is planning to publish a magazine called "The Blood and Tears of Go". The front page of the first issue will feature this game! It will be so popular that it will be terrifying!"
"So, Ding Huan, you must write well! I fully trust you, so I give this difficult task to you alone!"
Ding Huan became more and more confused as he listened. He blinked and asked quickly, "No, no, Chairman Ma, hasn't the main board of the first issue of our "Go Blood and Tears" magazine been confirmed?"
"Didn't you say that the first issue would be the game between Honinbo Shingo and Yasuhiro Seki? The draft will be finalized tomorrow. Why are you changing it at this time? You're crazy!"
Ma Zhengyu's tone was a little impatient, and he said, "You just keep asking. I've already told you, go search the chess record of this game online, and you'll know after you take a look!"
After hearing what Ma Zhengyu said, although Ding Huan was full of doubts, he finally stopped asking questions, turned on the speakerphone mode of his phone, and immediately started searching for keywords on the Internet.
Yu Shao, Zhu Xinyuan.
Hit the enter key! Soon, information about Yu Shao and Zhu Xinyuan popped up.
"Fuck!"
Seeing the popularity of these two keywords, Ding Huan was shocked and couldn't help but swear: "Ranked ninth in popularity, and the popularity is still rising? Is this a title battle?!"
"I've told you, you'll know if you look at the chess record!" Ma Zhengyu said immediately.
Ding Huan took a deep breath. After hearing what Ma Zhengyu said, his curiosity was aroused. He immediately opened the most popular post, clicked on the chess record link, and started reading.
At first, Ding Huan's expression was relatively calm, but as he watched, Ding Huan's expression changed dramatically.
From calmness, to confusion, and then incomprehension, a look of shock quickly crept onto Ding Huan's face! "The isolated white piece in the middle has become a thick one, and the black piece on the outside has become an isolated one. The original single jump and flower pattern on the top has not only disappeared, but the three pieces on the upper left are now surrounded!"
In the face of a huge gap of up to fifty points, the white chess pieces only made twenty moves to make the Chu songs sing and the map change color!
When seeing this, Ding Huan already understood why this game of chess was so popular. He almost couldn't help but swear again! Just getting to this point, this game of chess is enough to make you a god! On the white chessboard, a magnificent performance is staged that changes the mountains and rivers and makes all chess players in the world bow down! But this is not the end yet! When Ding Huan saw that the black pieces paid a heavy price to suppress the white pieces, but the white pieces also fought to the death with the black pieces, and a large number of dead white pieces held hands and started a riot in the black chess base camp -
Ding Huan has completely lost his voice! At this moment, Ding Huan finally understood why Ma Zhengyu suddenly decided to change the main layout of the magazine.
Go blood and tears! Blood!
tear! Is there anything that better illustrates the words blood and tears than this game of chess? "Have you finished reading it?"
It wasn't until Ma Zhengyu's voice sounded again on the other end of the phone that Ding Huan finally came back to his senses.
"Look... I've finished it."
Ding Huan swallowed his saliva and said, "I seem to understand why we need to change the main version."
"I'm glad you understand. You are the most talented Go editor in our Go Academy. I fully believe in your talent!"
On the other end of the phone, Ma Zhengyu's voice became serious: "I have only entrusted this difficult task to you alone. Do you have the inspiration to write a good manuscript?"
"rest assured!"
Hearing that Ma Zhengyu thought so highly of him, Ding Huan seemed to be energized. His face flushed and he said, "This game of chess is so fucking awesome. It's simply divine chess. I'm so fucking excited!"
"Almost every word here has something to write about. I will definitely write a good article! I've even thought of a title. It's called - A Strange Injustice Through the Ages, A Record of Blood and Tears for Generations!"
"Chairman Ma, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations of me!"
Hearing Ding Huan's words, Ma Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Good! Very good! A story of injustice throughout the ages, a story of blood and tears for generations! It fits our magazine very well, we must write it well!"
"Don't worry!"
Ding Huan nodded confidently and said excitedly, "I am full of inspiration now. My desire to create has never been so strong. I feel like I can't stop once I touch the keyboard!"
"Okay, okay, that's what I want you to say. I won't bother you anymore. Please write quickly. It would be best if it is finished before twelve o'clock so that I can see the manuscript." Ma Zhengyu said immediately.
"Okay, I won't say any more. Chairman Ma, wait for my good news!"
Ding Huan rolled up his sleeves, stared at the chess record on the computer screen, and said, "I'm hanging up now. After checking some background information about this game, I'll get started!"
"Well, it's worth it that I trusted you so much and entrusted this difficult task to you. You really didn't let me down. I'll wait for your good news! If you finish writing it, I'll promote you to editor-in-chief!"
Ma Zhengyu said solemnly, "Come on, do a good job!"
"good!"
Seeing that Ma Zhengyu trusted him so much, Ding Huan seemed to be completely inspired. After hanging up the phone, he closed his eyes and took two deep breaths.
Then, Ding Huan opened his eyes again, closed the chess record, looked up some information briefly, and after understanding the background of this game, he started typing.
…
…
The other side.
Ma Zhengyu had just hung up the phone with Ding Huan and started looking through his phone’s address book.
Soon, Ma Zhengyu called another Go reporter.
"Hey, Li Chu, did you watch the game between Yu Shao Sandan and Zhu Xinyuan today?"
After getting the answer from the other end of the phone, Ma Zhengyu smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Just take a look. To be honest, I have a difficult task for you now!"
"I only gave this task to you! Because I only trust you! Your talent is obvious to all!"
"You should know that our Southern Go Institute is preparing to publish the "Go Blood and Tears" magazine recently, right?"
"I'm going to write an article about this chess game overnight today. I've decided to use this chess game as the main page of the first issue of the magazine "Go Blood and Tears"!"
"Yes, this matter is of great importance! If you finish writing it, I will promote you to editor-in-chief! After all, there are so many editors and reporters, but I only trust you!"
"You don't want to be a beast of burden anymore, do you?"
Soon after hanging up the phone, Ma Zhengyu looked through his phone address book again and called another Go reporter.
"Hello, hello, Howard?"
"I have a difficult task for you. I will only give it to you. After all, you are the only one I trust!"
"Have you seen the game between Yu Shao Sandan and Zhu Xinyuan today?"
…
…
Ding Huan was completely unaware of all this. He was buried in front of the computer, his fingers jumping so quickly on the keyboard that his words almost left a shadow.
"I believe everyone should be familiar with Yu Shao."
"This young chess player, who has only been a professional chess player for less than a year, has already created too many miracles and played too many astonishing chess games!"
"Within less than a year of debut, he has already made it to the second round of the title match with an undefeated record. This is already a great feat!"
"In the second round of the title match, Yu Shao faced Zhu Xinyuan, 9th Dan."
"I believe everyone is familiar with Zhu Xinyuan, 9th Dan. He was promoted to Dan at the age of 12 and once dominated the Chinese chess world. He also achieved great results in world-class competitions. I still remember the bloody battle with Honinbo Shingo vividly."
"In their first match, perhaps because Zhu Xinyuan underestimated his opponent, or perhaps because Zhu Xinyuan didn't play well in that game, Zhu Xinyuan ended up losing miserably."
"I won't go into too much detail about this game of chess. This is not the main point I want to talk about. It is just an introduction to the following story."
"For Zhu Xinyuan, such a tragic defeat was naturally unacceptable, so after the game, Zhu Xinyuan invited me to fight again."
"Zhu Xinyuan, who was 9th dan at the time, must have felt very unwilling to lose to a young man who had just become a professional chess player."
"So in the next game, Zhu Xinyuan, 9th Dan, is destined to try his best and use all his skills to fight to the death with Yu Shao, 3rd Dan, on the chessboard."
"Thus, a chess game that could be described as 'an eternal injustice, a record of blood and tears for generations', began."
“…”
"Yes, it was not until here that I was shocked to find that the gap of 50 points was not created by the black pieces, but by the white pieces!"
"I don't know what kind of courage it takes to abandon the fifty eyes of the sky with such a lofty spirit!"
"I don't know what kind of imagination can come up with the idea of abandoning the fifty-eye Daikong in order to seize the initiative!"
"I don't even know what kind of calculation ability it takes to make a miraculous reversal in just over 20 moves after giving up 50 points of empty space!"
"These twenty moves are simply a masterpiece! This is a chess player who has presented a breathtakingly gorgeous performance to the world!"
"The chess game at this point is actually good enough to be deified! It can be said to be a famous game of eternal sacrifice!"
"But this game of chess is not over yet!"
"The tenacity of the black pieces after falling into a losing position is astonishing. Even if the white pieces have the advantage, they can't defeat the black pieces for a while. Zhu Xinyuan is worthy of his name!"
"The two sides fought over the ko chess piece, and finally the white chess piece went deep into the enemy's territory alone, vowing to fight the black chess piece to the death. The game was pushed to the final climax!"
“In the end, what is the result?”
"Black succeeded!"
"The white pieces were suppressed by the black pieces, and a large number of dead pieces were killed. However, just like the game between Yu Shao and Zeng Jun, Yu Shao once again showed his shocking use of dead pieces!"
"For a small capture in the corner, Black risked his entire life, but all of White's dead pieces were linked together, holding hands and rioting in Black's base camp!"
"Black can no longer be considered to have lost, because Black was able to play this kind of game, and in this precarious situation, to kill White into pieces, which is almost a miracle. It's worth it!"
"This game of chess has given me such a huge shock! The two players fully displayed their talents on this 19-route chessboard. It is breathtaking!"
"I don't want to" be able to play such a game of chess, even if I lose, it is enough to be proud of! ”
“Looking back at the whole game, it is beyond description to say it is wonderful!”
"This is the first time I feel that if I use the word 'wonderful' to describe a chess game, then this game is definitely not exciting enough!"
"Only blood and tears!"
"Yes, only blood and tears can explain this chess game!"
“And for this game of chess, I even feel that even blood and tears cannot fully match it!”
"So, only——"
"A strange injustice that will last for thousands of years, a bloody and tearful story for generations!"
