Chapter 357: When Entering the Game
The whole world is silent!
steeple--
A brand new change, in an astonishing manner, suddenly appeared before the eyes of the world, completely beyond everyone's imagination, and shocked the world! In the chess room, Zhuang Weisheng lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes staring at the white pieces reflected on the chessboard, as if he could see the mysterious light radiating from the chessboard.
“…To be honest.”
"The situation has already become disadvantageous, or in other words, it has become very difficult."
"I am very aware of that."
However, even though the situation had fallen into such a state and he was forced to this point, Zhuang Weisheng inexplicably felt a surge of complex emotions in his heart.
Zhuang Weisheng slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao opposite him.
“Perhaps this is exactly what I expect.”
“I do want to win.”
"But, on the other hand, I want to see what kind of chess you are going to play. I want to see a chess game that reveals the secrets of heaven. I want to see a move that is far better than mine."
"That's wonderful."
“Even as an opponent, seeing these god-like moves, I could only admire them from the bottom of my heart.”
"To be able to see such a chess game, even as a player in the game, even if it is a dead end, it is really... an irrepressible joy."
On the side, the scorekeeper and two referees looked at Zhuang Weisheng. The earth-shaking changes in the chess game just now gave them such a huge shock that they couldn't recover until now.
"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng..."
They didn't know what Zhuang Weisheng was thinking at this moment when he saw this situation.
"The mysteries of Go are infinitely profound. Even if I played Go for my entire life, even if I played thousands of games, all I could see was still darkness."
“The higher your Go skills become, the more you understand Go, the more you will be in awe of it, and the more you will be deeply shocked by its mysteries.”
"If there are a hundred games of Go, I only know seven or eight."
“Go, does it really have an answer?”
“If there is an answer, can we find it?”
Zhuang Weisheng withdrew his gaze from Yu Shao and looked at the chessboard again.
"Right here."
"Ten years, twenty years, thirty years... what I have been searching for."
"Right here—"
“It’s in this game of chess.”
"I saw..."
"I finally saw...the answer to Go..."
“It really exists!”
After a long time, Zhuang Weisheng finally calmed down, put aside all distracting thoughts, focused his mind on the chess game, and stared at the board intently.
The game isn't over yet!
Time passes by every second.
Soon, twenty minutes passed.
However, facing Zhuang Weisheng's twenty-minute-long thinking, no one showed any impatience.
Everyone knew what Zhuang Weisheng was facing at the moment. He was facing an almost irresistible peak that was enough to overturn previous perceptions of Go and completely shocked the world! Faced with such a board, I'm afraid most chess players would not be able to remain calm. Zhuang Weisheng thought for a long time and decided to continue playing this game. This in itself was a very courageous decision! Five minutes.
Eight minutes.
Nine minutes.
The hourglass of time passes by mercilessly.
Thirty minutes had passed, but Zhuang Weisheng had not made a move yet.
In an apartment in Tokyo, a group of professional chess players, including Toyama Xun, all stared at the computer screen silently, without blinking, and waited for half an hour without saying a word!
"What choice will Zhuang Weisheng Tianyuan make?"
Some people's hearts were beating uncontrollably, and looking at the chess game on the computer screen, they even felt a little dry in the mouth.
"In this game of chess, Yu Shao really put on a stunning performance for the world."
"But Zhuang Weisheng Tianyuan is also a chess player who can create miracles!"
…
…
"Although the white pieces undoubtedly have the upper hand on the board, the black pieces are not in a bad situation either."
"But if we continue to do nothing, we will end up dead."
Zhuang Weisheng stared at the chessboard intently, silently calculating the changes and gains and losses on the board.
"After he got away, he successfully defended and my offensive was wiped out."
"The vulgar move that was originally at a disadvantage has also become a good move."
"Even my flower-pulling chess pieces are becoming repetitive now!"
Zhuang Weisheng's expression became more serious. "In this chess situation, if we slowly make up for it and play it thick and solid, then the battle line will be stretched. But if the situation is too flat, if we want to catch up, we can only hope that the other party will make mistakes."
"If I don't make up for the lost pieces and start a complicated fight, my current chess position is too loose. If the black pieces attack forcefully, my black pieces will be in danger of being completely wiped out!"
"If you want to reverse the situation, this is the only way."
"If we win, we'll turn the tables!"
"If you lose, nothing will be left!"
Finally, after a long time, Zhuang Weisheng finally made some kind of decision and opened his eyes.
Click!
Reach into the chess box and take out the chess piece.
His eyes were fixed on the chessboard.
The chess pieces, under the watchful eyes of the whole world, slowly fell onto the board! Fourteen columns and four rows, jump! …
…
"Jump?"
Seeing this move, the long-haired Japanese chess player couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "No supplementary chess piece?"
"I see."
Dongshan Xun quickly saw the mystery on the board and said in a deep voice: "This move has a profound meaning. The black chess piece jumped away here to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. Unfortunately, this is an open strategy, and the white chess piece cannot have both!"
"But if this happens, once White is free, Black will be in danger!"
Someone was shocked when he heard this and said, "Black just got the upper hand! But this was at the cost of not being able to make up for the loss!"
"Black probably wants to use this first move to take the lead everywhere, and then--"
Dongshan Xun took a deep breath and said, "Finally, with this first move, we will defeat the white chess pieces!"
The room suddenly became quiet.
“Are you crazy?”
After a moment, someone looked at the computer screen in fear and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? The white chess piece only needs to turn around lightly, and the black chess piece will collapse!"
"I think we don't need to rush to conclusions."
At this time, Gao Qiaoguang, who had been silent, looked at the computer screen and suddenly said without turning his head: "Since Zhuang Weisheng Tianyuan has chosen this move--"
"Let's see how Zhuang Weisheng Tianyuan will perform!"
On the chessboard, chess pieces began to fall one after another.
As the game entered a life-and-death struggle, heated discussions began on the Internet! "Black did get the first move, and it was a sure move. The first move is indeed important. In Go, there are many examples of a quick move that ultimately wins the game! Speed is of the essence in war, and this is an unchangeable truth!"
"But, you want to take advantage of this first move, keep ahead step by step, and eventually defeat the white chess pieces. This is impossible, right?"
"Wrong, wrong. If it were someone else, it might not work, but this is Zhuang Weisheng!"
"What does Weisheng mean? Only when you are put to death can you survive! How many times has Zhuang Weisheng pulled off such heart-shaking comebacks in desperate situations?"
"Even Teacher Zhuang Weisheng can't do this. This is too exaggerated. The white chess piece only needs to be simply defended. Once it has a free hand, it can easily capture the black chess dragon!"
"Black chess, it's a fight to the death!"
"If you don't win this battle, you will die!"
On the chessboard.
Black and white, crisscrossing!
Go is the art of black and white, and even more so the art of life and death. Black and white, life and death, are constantly intertwined on this 19-way chessboard! However, as most people expected, it was too difficult to turn the tide with just this one move. For several moves in a row, the white pieces returned empty-handed.
In the chess-playing room, both sides made moves very quickly.
A tense and depressing atmosphere permeated the entire chat room.
Zhuang Weisheng's expression remained calm. When he saw Yu Shao make his move, he quickly picked up another chess piece and dropped it quickly.
Bang! Eight columns and fourteen rows, fly! "Is Tuoxian here?"
Seeing this move, everyone couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.
clatter.
clatter.
clatter.
Under the gaze of the world, the chess pieces continued to fall on the board, and the sound of them falling was extremely crisp. It was as if the two sides had jointly composed a soul-stirring sonata on this chessboard! After Zhuang Weisheng's move to get ahead, the black chess pieces became more and more treacherous. Everyone looked at the chessboard, and the expressions on their faces began to change rapidly! "Isn't it said that the most urgent thing is to be in a big place? Isn't it said that a strong position should not be surrounded in an empty space? Isn't it said that the golden corners, silver edges and grass belly? Why is the black chess piece not caring about anything?"
Some people couldn't control their shock and shouted in disbelief: "I don't understand! What is raining?"
At this time, even Dongshan Xun was looking at the chess board with a confused look on his face.
"The isolated black piece on the left could have rushed out and used its strength to fight, but it chose to play the double flying swallows..."
Dongshan Xun murmured in disbelief: "The attack was not rigorous and he kept falling behind, allowing White to fill the gaps with both hands."
"Black has only gained the appearance of the middle of the board, and it still has to sacrifice pieces to surround it!"
"In this way, isn't the situation for Black getting worse and worse?!"
People all over the world were talking about it, puzzled by the shocking changes on the chessboard.
In the chat room, Zhuang Weisheng slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao with a sharp gaze.
“There is no time!”
"Since I have taken the initiative and provoked a complicated battle, when the white chess pieces are free, I will definitely fight back against the black chess pieces. There is even a high probability that I can capture the black chess dragon!"
"Now, the time has come!"
"That's what you expected, isn't it?"
"White doesn't have much pressure below it anymore. Now is the time for White to attack Black. If White wants to attack, now is the best time!"
"Here, let's fight to the death!"
"There is no time left. If the stalemate continues, my black pieces will be thicker and your advantage will be gone!"
"Well, come on!"
"I'll wait!"
"When the white chess piece is about to kill the black chess piece, that is when the black chess piece's chance of survival will be revealed!"
On the opposite side, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, constantly calculating the subsequent changes on the board in his mind.
After a moment, Yu Shao finally picked out the chess piece and slowly put it down.
Da! Seven columns and nine rows, sharp!
…
…
"White, start attacking!"
Seeing this move, everyone's heart sank, as if they heard the black chess piece's last wail.
The black pieces are too loose and will almost collapse at the first touch, not to mention the white pieces coming with such a strong momentum that they can almost crush the black pieces with an overwhelming force.
"It still doesn't work. Even Mr. Zhuang Weisheng can't turn the tide in that situation."
"There's no way. It's too difficult to take the initiative once, take the lead everywhere, and finally turn the situation around."
"It is impossible to have the first move every time. Some first moves are not very valuable. As long as White judges that attacking Black is more valuable, it is completely fine to not respond."
"There's really nothing we can do. Teacher Zhuang Weisheng has already done his best."
In the live broadcast room, comments kept flying by, and everyone could see that the black chess piece had fallen into a losing position.
The White pieces' offensive was like a sudden collapse of the heavens, and with the Black pieces' loose chess shape, it was absolutely impossible for them to withstand it.
Everyone's emotions were extremely complicated. They watched the chess game silently, watching the black and white chess pieces falling alternately, as if they could still hear the crisp sound of the pieces falling through the computer screen.
"Black's move, a trick?"
Suddenly, everyone was slightly stunned when they saw the black chess piece's turning move. Before they had time to think about it, they saw the white chess piece fall. They had to concentrate and continue watching.
Da! Da! Da! On the chessboard, black and white pieces continued to fall alternately, and as the number of moves increased, everyone's expressions suddenly became more exciting! "How could this happen?"
Someone stared at the computer screen in amazement, and suddenly stood up from the computer chair: "White chess, why can't you seem to take down the black chess?!"
Not only him, more and more people noticed the clues on the board and were shocked! "White's flying pressure should be strong, but the damage to Black's chess pieces does not seem to be as great as expected, and even feels a bit heavy?!"
"Why? I don't understand!"
"The black pieces are so loose, it should be easy for the white pieces to defeat the black pieces, but the black pieces seem to be in danger, but they are still standing?"
“…”
…
…
At this time, Tokyo.
Dongshan Xun and his group were completely speechless after watching this extremely tragic battle between black and white. They all stared at the computer screen, unable to move their eyes away.
Netizens couldn't see it, but as high-level professional chess players, they had already seen the mystery and cunning of the board! "Wrong!"
The long-haired young man murmured in shock: "Everyone is wrong, including us!"
There was silence all around, they all knew what the long-haired young man was talking about.
Yes.
They were all wrong! From the beginning to the end, Zhuang Weisheng had never intended to take the initiative once, and then use this initiative to take the lead everywhere, and finally defeat the white chess piece with swiftness! Zhuang Weisheng's plan was far greater than they imagined!
He was planning a big game! Before, he had the advantage of not surrounding the empty space. The lone chess piece on the left could have rushed out with his shoulder and used the advantage to fight, but he chose to choose the big field of Shuangfeiyan, just so that when the white chess attacked, those preparations would show their light! Black chess was leading white chess into the game, and from beginning to end, no one could see through it! In other words, black chess wanted others to think that the purpose of black chess was to compete for the first place everywhere, but the truth was that black chess was waiting for the moment when white chess entered the game! This kind of thinking was lurking with murderous intent, but they were completely unaware!
At this moment, another black chess piece fell on the computer screen.
clatter.
The sound of the move seemed to spread throughout the world.
All the discussions on the Internet came to an abrupt end as this move was made!
All the confusion, puzzles, and bewilderment before finally got the answer! This move echoed the black chess pieces that had escaped the first move and the chess pieces that had been prepared in advance. The black chess pieces on the whole board were in a dead end, but now they had a chance to survive!
Everyone stared at the chessboard in a daze. At this moment, the real purpose of Zhuang Weisheng was revealed. When they had already entered the game, they finally saw what Zhuang Weisheng was up to!
It's so quiet.
Everyone was a little dazed for a moment. Looking at this intricate situation and seeing this amazing train of thought and spirit, a figure could not help but emerge in everyone's mind! The figure who had set a record and defended the tenth-dan title for twenty years, the figure who had created the Misei-ryu, made countless masters bleed on the chessboard, and defeated all the masters in the world! The figure seemed to slowly pick up the chess piece from the chess box and gently drop it. The chess piece hit the chessboard, making a sound of falling that resounded throughout the world -
"Zhuang Weisheng!"
