Chapter 354: The Reborn Misano
Three days passed in a flash.
The fourth round of the title match officially kicked off.
Yu Shao got up early in the morning, got dressed, washed up briefly, left the hotel, had some breakfast, and went straight to the Eastern Chess Academy.
Not long after, Yu Shao arrived at the door of the chat room.
Yu Shao looked at the door of the chat room with a slightly complicated mood.
It has been more than a year since I came into this world.
During this year, he played many chess games and met many opponents. Some of these opponents were strong, some were weak, and each had his own style of play...
Today, he is finally going to face off against one of the strongest chess players in the world.
Yu Shao stood quietly at the door for a moment, finally reached out his hand and pushed open the door of the chat room.
As soon as Yu Shao walked into the music talk room, the two referees and the music notator in the room all cast their eyes towards him.
And in the chess room, there were not only the referee and the scorekeeper, but also a figure sitting beside the chess table in the middle of the room.
Zhuang Weisheng was wearing a black suit today. His expression was calm, yet he had an aura of authority without even getting angry. He sat quietly in front of the chess table, like a towering, immovable mountain.
Seeing Yu Shao coming to the hand-talk room, Zhuang Weisheng slowly raised his head, looked at Yu Shao, greeted him calmly, and said, "Good morning, Yu Shao, third dan."
Yu Shao nodded slightly and also greeted him, saying, "Morning, Teacher Zhuang Weisheng."
After saying that, Yu Shao came to the opposite side of Zhuang Weisheng, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"This is the first time I play against you in a competition."
When Yu Shao sat down, Zhuang Weisheng looked at Yu Shao and suddenly said again: "Anyway, you are finally sitting opposite me now, and you want to fight with me."
Yu Shao was slightly startled and looked at Zhuang Weisheng.
Zhuang Weisheng's eyes remained calm, but beneath this calmness, there was an astonishingly sharp edge.
As Zhuang Weisheng finished his words, the atmosphere in the entire chat room became filled with a sense of oppression.
As Yu Shao looked at Zhuang Weisheng, his expression gradually became serious.
This look seemed familiar to him.
In his previous life, he had seen similar gazes...
At that time, the Chess Association held the World Chess Championship every ten years.
The minimum requirement to participate in the World Chess Championship is to be a world champion, which means that all chess players are masters of the world, and are at the top of the chess world! He had just won his first world championship at that time, and according to the rules, the chess player who won the most recent world championship must defend the championship.
At that time, all the chess players who challenged him had such a look.
In that world chess championship tournament, he met countless strong opponents, had a tough battle, and was even forced into a desperate situation at one point.
At this moment, Zhuang Weisheng had the same gaze as those people in the Chess King Tournament.
In the beginning, he was forced into death situations countless times on the chessboard by people with similar eyes!
"But no matter how difficult the process was, in the end, all those strong players, without exception, were defeated by me one after another in that chess king competition!"
Yu Shao looked straight at Zhuang Weisheng, a surge of emotions surging in his heart, and his eyes became sharper.
"In the end, I won all 19 battles, and defeated all the strong opponents in the world without losing a single battle!"
…
…
Hands talking indoors.
The atmosphere was depressing and solemn.
In this not very big chess room, under a hanging calligraphy piece that reads "Sitting and Discussing the Tao", two chess players sit opposite each other. Although they are only separated by a chess table, they seem to be worlds apart.
The expressions of both of them were very calm, but there was a captivating power in their eyes!
"Gudong!"
On the side, the female music notator looked at this scene and couldn't help swallowing.
Obviously nothing happened, and the two of them didn't even talk to each other, but at this moment, the three people in the chat room all felt an inexplicably solemn atmosphere -
And in this solemnity, there is also a hint of murderous intent!
It's like being in a Buddhist temple! "If Yu Shao represents the future of Chinese Go, then Zhuang Weisheng is the present of Chinese Go."
A referee felt the solemn and oppressive atmosphere, and even he became a little nervous at this moment.
"Now is the confrontation between the future and the present!"
Not only in the chess room, but also all over the world, people are already sitting in front of their TVs or computers, nervously and expectantly waiting for the upcoming chess game!
Time passes by every second.
Finally, after a while, a referee took a deep breath, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "The fourth round of the national players' competition, the winner's bracket final, starts now!"
"Each player has three hours of free time. The countdown is one and a half minutes. Black has a seven and a half point handicap. Now, please ask the two players to start guessing the first move!"
…
…
North Korea, Seoul.
Seoul Chess Institute.
"Lee Hyun-woo, I heard that you defeated Park Woo-sik, 9th Dan, beautifully in the Tianyuan Tournament. You are indeed worthy of being the one."
Two young chess players were walking and chatting in the hallway of the chess academy. One of them, a thin young man wearing glasses, said to the freckled young man next to him with envy on his face: "Can you be more talented?"
"Hahahaha, how can I be considered a genius? I just won a game by luck."
Li Xuanwu smiled and shook his head, saying: "If I am considered a genius, then what is Yu Shao?"
"You've started comparing yourself to Yu Shao, how can you not be a genius?"
The thin young man rolled his eyes and complained: "How many people can compare with a monster like Yu Shao? Can you change someone else? Li Junhe is not in your eyes, right?"
"No way, no way. I am far inferior to Lee Jun Hyuk. He is only 18 years old and has already made it to the title match."
Li Xuanwu smiled and shook his head, saying: "I am already 22 years old, and now I have just reached the threshold of the title match. Now I want to work harder and strive to win a title."
“If you can make it to the title match, you won’t be far away from winning the title.”
The thin young man smiled and teased: "Maybe I'll call you Li Xuanwu Tianyuan again in a while."
"Go away. Don't you have a competition today? Go and have it. I'll go to the seminar room to practice chess." Li Xuanwu said with a smile.
"You are such a genius and yet you are so hardworking. How can I live like this?"
The thin young man looked hopeless and complained, "Give me a chance to live. We were both promoted to the dan level in the same year, and you've made it to the title match, but I'm still struggling at the 6th dan level!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Li Xuanwu couldn't help laughing and said, "This is fate. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, if it is destined to happen, it will happen, and if it is not destined to happen, don't force it."
"You better shut up."
The thin young man rolled his eyes and said, "No more talking. I'm going to the competition."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Li Xuanwu nodded, quickly said goodbye to his friend, then walked straight to the seminar room, pushed open the door of the seminar room and walked in.
However, contrary to Li Xuanwu's expectations, there was no one in the seminar room today.
"Why aren't you here?"
Li Xuanwu was a little puzzled. Usually, when they had nothing to do, some professional chess players from North and South Korea would gather in the seminar room to review the game scores. But today was strange, as there was no one to be seen.
At this moment, Li Xuanwu suddenly noticed a black laptop computer on the long table in the middle of the seminar room.
"Isn't this Zhao Xingzhi's computer? Did he forget to take it with him?"
Li Xuanwu thought about it, walked to the table, sat down, and opened his laptop.
"I haven't played online chess for a long time. Let's play a game of online chess."
Thinking this, Li Xuanwu quickly logged into the "Nineteen" online Go battle platform. After entering his account and password, he slid the mouse and was about to click "Match" when he suddenly froze.
"Um?"
Li Xuanwu noticed that the cover push of the "19" platform was showing news about the "Zhuang Weisheng" national team battle.
"Today is Mr. Zhuang Weisheng's national team competition?"
Li Xuanwu smiled and said to himself, "Teacher Zhuang Weisheng lost his tenth-dan title before, which was really shocking. Will he lose his tenth-dan title and become a national player again, holding the two major titles at the same time again?"
Suddenly, Li Xuanwu seemed to think of something and frowned slightly.
"wrong."
"This isn't a national champion challenge. This is just the main competition. How did it get on the cover of the 19th edition?"
Li Xuanwu touched his chin, feeling a little puzzled.
You know, Nineteen is an international online Go battle platform with an incredibly large amount of traffic. If it was a Chinese national player title challenge, then it would be normal to be pushed on the cover, but this is only the national player competition!
Although national players' matches often attract a lot of attention, they are usually only watched within that country. For other chess players around the world, people are more concerned about the final title challenge.
However, nowadays, the cover push of the national player's battle in the top 19 of this tournament is rarely seen.
Thinking of this, Li Xuanwu clicked the mouse lightly, cancelled the opponent matching, then opened the push webpage and jumped directly to the live broadcast room of the national team battle.
“Has it just started?”
Li Xuanwu first glanced at the chessboard casually, then looked at the title of the live broadcast room: "Zhuang Weisheng Tianyuan, right..."
"right……"
Li Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he leaned forward slightly: "Against Yu Shao 3rd Dan?!"
Seeing that the two opponents were Yu Shao and Zhuang Weisheng, Li Xuanwu finally understood why this match between national players could be featured on the cover of News 19!
Zhuang Weisheng, yes, Yu Shao!
On one side is Zhuang Weisheng, naturally a heavyweight, and on the other side... is also Yu Shao!
Li Xuanwu stared blankly at the title of the live broadcast room. After a moment, he suddenly moved his eyes away and looked at the chess board!
At this moment, three chess pieces had just landed on the chessboard.
"The black chess player is Mr. Zhuang Weisheng, and the white chess player is Yu Shao. Mr. Zhuang Weisheng played the star small eye, and the white chess player's first move was the star."
Li Xuanwu couldn't help holding his breath, and his expression subconsciously became serious. He stared at the computer screen with full concentration: "Next, it's Yu Shao's turn."
Soon, under Li Xuanwu's gaze, a hand holding a white chess piece gently placed it on the board.
Da! Four columns and sixteen rows, stars! The pattern of the star-shaped eyes facing the two consecutive stars has already been formed!
…
…
USA.
San Francisco, California.
At this time, it was late at night in the United States. A blond man was sleeping soundly on the bed. Next to him, a charming blond model was lying naked next to the man.
“Ding-ling-ling!”
The man was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He frowned, but was still unwilling to answer the call. He turned over and hugged the woman beside him, but the phone still kept ringing.
Even after the call was over, the man still didn't open his eyes or answer the phone.
"Ding-ling-ling."
But before long, the phone rang again.
The blonde woman was also awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. Seeing that her cell phone kept ringing, she couldn't help but push the man next to her and whispered, "Honey, it's a phone call."
The man finally opened his eyes impatiently, picked up the phone, glanced at the caller's name, answered the call, and said in a bad tone: "What's the matter? It's late at night, do you want to go to bed?"
However, after the person on the other end of the phone finished speaking, the man's expression suddenly changed.
"What?"
The man suddenly sat up from the bed and asked, "Is this true?"
After receiving a positive answer from the other end of the phone, the man immediately grabbed the clothes next to the pillow and said while putting on his clothes: "Okay, I got it, I'll go and see it right away."
"Honey, what's going on? Something about the company?"
Seeing the man's anxious look, the blonde woman couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you going out?"
"No, it's Go. There's a Go competition today and I have to go and see it." The blond man shook his head and explained casually.
"A Go game?"
The blonde woman grumbled and said, "What's so interesting about Go? Just sleep with me and watch the rerun tomorrow, dear."
"No, go to sleep by yourself."
The blond man shook his head and immediately refused: "That's a match between Zhuang Weisheng and Yu Shao, I must witness it with my own eyes!"
"Honey……"
The blonde woman still wanted to act coquettishly, but when she saw the man's expression turned cold, she smiled awkwardly and finally stopped talking.
The man quickly put on his clothes, walked quickly to the computer, turned it on, and then logged into "Nineteen". From Nineteen's homepage, he entered the live broadcast room of the national team battle.
“That’s it!”
The man took a deep breath. Although he had been through business battles for a long time and had developed a character that did not show his emotions, his expression became a little excited at this moment! "Zhuang Weisheng, right--"
"Yu Shao!"
The man looked at the chessboard impatiently, and saw that both sides had already made four moves on the board. Coincidentally, at this moment, the fifth move was finally made.
Six columns, seventeen rows, Xiao Fei is hanging! "Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, is Xiao Fei hanging here?"
The man's expression suddenly became more focused. He stared at the computer screen, eager to see the next move: "Small eye, small flying hook, Zhuang Weisheng is an old hand, is he going to play Weisheng style?"
"A Go layout named after Misao!"
…
…
Hands talking indoors.
"Xiaomu, Xiaofei Gua..."
Seeing Zhuang Weisheng play the Xiaofei Gua, the female scorekeeper and the two referees stretched their necks, thinking tremblingly: "Will Zhuang Weisheng choose the Weisheng style?"
In fact, after the star is matched against the two stars, the black side's small flying piece in the corner is a very common and normal move.
However, because it was Zhuang Weisheng who made this move, they couldn't help but think about the Weisheng style! After all, this is a Go layout named after Zhuang Weisheng himself. Zhuang Weisheng used this layout to make countless masters bleed on the chessboard in major competitions! "But before, Yu Shao played a new and incredible move against the Weisheng style, and most chess players are still studying it... Mr. Zhuang Weisheng should also know."
The female music notator couldn't help but look at Zhuang Weisheng: "Could it be that Mr. Zhuang Weisheng has already come up with a solution?"
This is not only a question in her mind, but also a question in the minds of everyone who is paying attention to this game of chess! Will this game of chess produce the Unborn Flow?
Click!
At this time, the sound of chess pieces colliding rang out again.
The next moment, Yu Shao took out the chess piece from the chess box and slowly put it down.
Da! Three columns and fourteen rows, Xiaofei!
Facing the black chess piece's small flying move, the white chess piece chooses to respond with small flying move!
Seeing this move, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
At this moment, the market has entered a watershed!
In the next move, if Black moves high up the star position, that is, a super big flying move, then the board will form the famous Unborn Flow!
Of course, if the black chess piece does not break the star position, there are many other ways to respond, and both sides have complex offense and defense! Although it is completely feasible not to play the super big flying piece, what everyone is most looking forward to now is to see Zhuang Weisheng use his most proficient Weisheng style again! At this time, Zhuang Weisheng, who was sitting opposite Yu Shao, looked at the chessboard and did not make any moves.
Time began to pass slowly.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Three minutes...
There is no need to think for a long time here, but Zhuang Weisheng fell into a long thought! "Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, you should have demolished the star position without thinking, but... Teacher Zhuang Weisheng didn't."
In the live broadcast room, a barrage of comments passed by.
Indeed, if it was Zhuang Weisheng, he would have played that high-level move without hesitation, because he is Zhuang Weisheng, and that is Weisheng style! When Zhuang Weisheng swept the chess world with Weisheng style, Japanese chess player Murashita Hayabusa even said that the times are changing, but as long as the rules of Go remain unchanged, Weisheng style will never be outdated and will always be an unquestionable good move.
But now, Zhuang Weisheng fell into deep thought.
"Aren't you going to make that high-profile move?"
At the side, the female music notator stared blankly at Zhuang Weisheng: "Teacher Zhuang Weisheng..."
Zhuang Weisheng looked at the chessboard quietly, and after a moment, he slowly closed his eyes.
Finally, after another two or three seconds, Zhuang Weisheng opened his eyes again and looked at the chessboard in front of him, as if he wanted to see through all the changes on the chessboard!
"It's time to say goodbye."
Zhuang Weisheng looked at the chessboard, his eyes were clear and shining! The private chess game between him and Yu Shao was only known to him, Yu Shao, Qin Lang and others, and no one else knew about it.
Therefore, he himself knew that because of the subversion of the ground and the situation, the long sword of the Misei Ryu seemed to have rusted! "I know how difficult it is to win this game with a high-level move."
"Whether the Misei Ryu can still play is unknown, but it is true that after practice, his seemingly incredible evil moves are not as bad as imagined!"
"He really found the mistake that had persisted in Go for four thousand years, and completely overturned the terrain and momentum. He achieved a feat that has never been achieved before and will be difficult to surpass in the future!"
Zhuang Weisheng looked towards Yu Shao opposite him with a serious expression and sharp eyes.
"If you want to beat him, you can't be stuck in the past!"
"Then, we must move forward, keep moving forward, with a transformed attitude, a brand new chess strategy, break the routine, and fight for victory on a complex board!"
"In other words, this game of chess is not a game where you can win by setting a trap and waiting for your opponent to make a mistake."
"In this game of chess, the competition has nothing to do with any other factors. The only thing that determines the outcome is the chess strength!"
"We must strive for a stronger hand! We must completely say goodbye to the past!"
"Under the most ambiguous and complex board, seize the fleeting opportunity, find the last hand, and fight to annihilate the whole army!"
Finally, Zhuang Weisheng reached into the chess box.
The cold chess piece is held between the index and middle fingers.
"Well, let's do this!"
Snap! At this moment, the chess piece finally landed on the chessboard!
Nine columns and sixteen rows, big fly!
…
…
Seeing Zhuang Weisheng perform this Dafei move on the computer screen, Li Xuanwu's body seemed to be shocked by thunder, his pupils shrank slightly, and his body stood up uncontrollably! "This move, Dafei?"
Li Xuanwu stared at the chessboard in disbelief: "Isn't it Super Fei?!"
If in this move, Black chooses a super large flying move, or a high-level star-breaking move, then it would be an unborn flow, but in this move, Black chose a large flying move that has never been seen before.
This layout is not the Weisheng style, but it is somewhat similar. However, if it is the Weisheng style, it is obviously not! On the other side, in a villa in San Francisco, the blond man was also looking at the computer screen in shock, and couldn't help muttering: "This move was actually made by Dafei..."
"Although it's only a line of distance, the way the whole game is played has completely changed. If the white piece hangs in the corner again, the whole game will change completely!"
"It's unbelievable. Under the guidance of Master Zhuang Weisheng, Weisheng Style... has undergone a completely new transformation..."
The Internet was in an uproar at this time, and the live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments.
"It's not demolished at the star position, but it's flying, the pieces are more inclined to the left wing!"
“Is this a completely new idea? Or can we call it a new unborn stream?”
"I never thought of doing it this way. Although this way I lose the form of the Weisheng Style, I retain the spirit of the Weisheng Style. The methods that Yu Shao used before may be useless under this move!"
Yes.
It’s not Chao Da Fei, not the Chao Da Fei that Zhuang Weisheng once swept the chess world with, but…
Dafei!
The one who made this move was not the original Zhuang Weisheng, but the Zhuang Weisheng who had been reborn! Compared with the ordinary Weisheng style, this move was only a hair's breadth away, but the board had undergone an amazing change that could be called an earth-shaking change! The changes in Go are so unpredictable and full of mysteries.
Just a fine line of difference, and the whole game has become completely different, as if the universe has changed!
Zhuang Weisheng finally moved his eyes away from the chessboard and looked at Yu Shao opposite him.
"Well, that's it!"
"bring it on!"
