Chapter 359 I want to play against such a chess player!
Hands talking indoors.
“I won…”
Seeing the two black pieces falling on the chessboard, Yu Shao looked at the chess game silently. Although he won in the end, he did not feel any joy in his heart, and even felt a little complicated.
Before the game started, when he sat opposite Zhuang Weisheng, he was in a trance, as if he had returned to his previous life. He thought of the bloody battles he had fought against the world's top players in the chess championship in his previous life.
In his previous life, those games were hard to win, but every game was a good one. In the end, he won 19 games in a row, defeated all the top players, and finally stood at the top! However, after finishing this game, he found out...
This was not the match he expected.
Although Zhuang Weisheng has come up with a new variation of the Weisheng style, which is an improvement over the original Dafei, it is still a side-breaking move, a move abandoned by the times.
In other words, from that moment on, the board had actually quietly tilted towards the white pieces.
And when he played the pointed top, Zhuang Weisheng did not find the correct response. From that moment on, the black chess had no chance at all.
Although Zhuang Weisheng tried his best and planned a big chess game to lure him into the game, from his perspective, although it was dangerous for the white chess to enter the game, even if he could not escape, he could still fight to the death with the black chess in a local area.
From the overall situation, the white chess has a huge advantage. Therefore, even if the white chess and the black chess are both damaged in a local battle, in the end, the white chess will definitely win.
In Yu Shao's opinion, in this game of chess, although Zhuang Weisheng often made sharp and powerful moves in some parts, and he had to think carefully, but overall... the situation was calm.
The moment the pointed top pattern was completed, there was no suspense in the game of chess.
In a sense, the time that follows is invalid time and there is no need to continue.
Is there really no need to continue? Each of the following moves is Zhuang Weisheng using the chess pieces between his fingers to launch a sad, doomed to fail, silent, and stubborn resistance against an era.
He is a mortal who wants to compare himself with gods with his mortal body!
Even though Yu Shao already knew that he had won the game, he couldn't help but be moved by seeing every move Zhuang Weisheng made in the desperate situation and the power he unleashed.
Although he was sure to win, he originally thought it would end in the middle game, but he didn't expect that he would have to control the game until the end and decide the winner after the end.
"Zhuang Weisheng, his reputation is well-deserved..."
Yu Shao lowered his eyes and looked at the intricate chess game in front of him. Although his expression remained calm, he felt a little lost... and regretful in his heart.
"Fundamentally, this is not a fair contest."
"I wasn't the only one he lost to."
“It’s even more of a loss to the times.”
"It wasn't just me who beat him, there was also the Go AI."
"I long for a fair fight with such an opponent."
"Then, how will the outcome be between us?"
At this time, opposite Yu Shao, Zhuang Weisheng finally withdrew his gaze from the chessboard and slowly lowered his head towards Yu Shao.
Yu Shao also withdrew his gaze from the chessboard, glanced at Zhuang Weisheng, and bowed his head in salute.
The chess game is completely over.
It was quiet in the chat room.
The two referees and the scorekeeper were still staring at the chessboard in a daze, until Zhuang Weisheng and Yu Shao reached out and started to pick up the chess pieces, and they finally woke up from their dream.
"It's all over..."
Seeing all the chess pieces on the chessboard being put back into the chess box, the chessboard became blank again, as if the chess game just now had never happened. The three of them felt a little lost.
"This game of chess has finally come to an end."
"What awaits it will be the next game of chess."
"And that game of chess will determine the qualification to challenge the national champions!"
Not long after, Yu Shao closed the lid of the chess box, stood up silently, and prepared to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Zhuang Weisheng suddenly spoke up and called out to Yu Shao: "Yu Shao, third stage."
Yu Shao was slightly startled, stopped and looked at Zhuang Weisheng.
Zhuang Weisheng raised his head and looked at Yu Shao, with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of regret in his smile: "How was it? Even though I lost this game of chess, it shouldn't be bad, right?"
Yu Shao nodded silently and said, "Of course, I was always nervous when I played this game of chess."
“But I still lost.”
Zhuang Weisheng smiled and said, "Although I lost, I am very proud of playing such a good game."
"When I see a chess game, I feel proud and fortunate that I am one of the players involved."
Zhuang Weisheng looked at Yu Shao and said slowly, "It is only when I see a young chess player like you and a game like this that I feel that I have made the decision to play Go."
Hearing this, Yu Shao was stunned.
Zhuang Weisheng stood up slowly, the smile on his face gradually fading: "I look forward to our next game of chess."
Yu Shao looked at Zhuang Weisheng, and after a moment, his expression became more serious, and he nodded slowly: "Me too, I'm looking forward to the next game with you."
"That chess game must be above this one."
Watching the conversation between Yu Shao and Zhuang Weisheng, the two referees and the music notator in the music room had mixed feelings.
This game of chess brought them so much shock and emotion.
From the brand new changes that have never happened before, to that sharp top move, to the intrigue between the two sides in the middle game, to the miraculous way of breaking the game after the white chess entered the game, to the eye-popping struggle of the black chess...
Both sides presented them and the world with a wonderful chess game that is destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime!
Could it be that the spire really became an irresistible move? After all, it was impossible for the spire not to respond!
Is it true that in the future, even if the opponent moves to a star position, they will not dare to hang a corner?! Is the way of playing Go going to change completely?! This game of Go almost overturned their understanding of Go, as if telling them that all the Go they played before was wrong!
This made them confused and shocked, and they are still immersed in the thrilling fight!
Even though the game was over, the sound of the moves still seemed to echo in their ears, still so shocking! "This is Go..."
“There is no end to Go. It is a long road with no end. All Go players are seekers!”
"The chessboard is so small, but it can hold the total number of atoms in the universe. Every move is the result of the chess player's lifelong efforts!"
“The day when the old turns to the new, but perhaps, the day when the old turns to the new is also the day when the new becomes old and the old becomes new?”
"All chess players are constantly learning from each other, moving forward, and exploring this never-ending road. No chess player is alone."
"Because if you want to continue on the path of Go, you must have someone to work with you."
"That person may not be a friend, but he must be an equal opponent. Without an equal opponent, you will only stand still!"
"Go is a game between two geniuses!"
…
…
The game was over, but the whole world, everyone who was paying attention to it, was still in shock and confusion.
"The most exciting part is the pointed top move. This is a common move that all Go teachers would criticize when they see it. However, under Yu Shao's hands, the three bad parts of the pointed top move turned into a good move!"
"Indeed, it is so shocking. It completely overturned my understanding of Go. It is beyond my imagination. The top of the peak must be in response. Does it mean that the star position can no longer be hung in the corner in the future? This is too scary."
"No, for me, the most exciting part of the whole game is the battle in the middle game where the black chess pieces set up the game, and the way the white chess pieces broke the game when they entered the game is even more terrifying!"
"Didn't they say anything about the middle and late game? In the second half of the game, the black pieces faced the attacks of the white pieces. The entangled attacks, using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force, actually killed them all the way to the endgame!"
"What a pity, Zhuang Weisheng Tianyuan still lost."
"A new era is really coming. Point 33, 5-road shoulder charge, small eye, demon sword, avalanche, big slope, spire... He is simply a monster. Maybe he will really create an era!"
There was a lot of heated discussion online, and posts discussing this chess game popped up in an endless stream. Almost everyone who watched this chess game was expressing their inner emotions crazily.
In an apartment in Donghai City.
Jiang Changdong and Chu Jingfeng sat opposite each other with a chessboard between them, reviewing the game between Yu Shao and Zhuang Weisheng.
"Here, if we turn, what will happen?"
Soon, Chu Jingfeng picked up the chess piece again and put it down. He looked at the chessboard and asked with a frown.
Jiang Changdong reached into the chess box and was about to take out the chess piece, but his mind couldn't help but think of the chess game just now. He thought of every move made by Yu Shao and even seemed to hear the sound of the pieces falling.
In this state, there is no way to calm down and review the situation properly.
Finally, Jiang Changdong let out a long breath, pulled his hand out of the chess box, reached into his trouser pocket to take out a cigarette box, then took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and stared at the chessboard in front of him in silence.
Seeing this, Chu Jingfeng also became silent.
After all, Yu Shao defeated Zhuang Weisheng in this game of chess, and he won beautifully.
As the current holder of the national player title, Jiang Changdong is obviously under a lot of pressure.
Zhuang Weisheng's style of play is characterized by being heavy and powerful. He is good at slowly exerting pressure and eventually defeating his opponent. Jiang Changdong is also very skilled in the art of slaying dragons. He plays chess rashly, but is tricky and ferocious, leaving no room for his opponent to breathe.
Jiang Changdong and Zhuang Weisheng have completely different chess styles and personalities. They are old rivals and have been fighting for thirty years, from childhood to adulthood, but neither of them has gained much advantage.
Although Jiang Changdong denied it, Chu Jingfeng knew very well that the chess player Jiang Changdong most recognized in China was Zhuang Weisheng.
After all, recognizing your opponent is, in a sense, equivalent to recognizing yourself.
And now, Zhuang Weisheng lost.
"Teacher Jiang Changdong, do you think you can win this game if you are playing as black?"
After a moment, Chu Jingfeng finally couldn't help it and asked.
As soon as he said this, Chu Jingfeng regretted it.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Changdong, Jiang Changdong would definitely be very angry when hearing this, and then he answered without hesitation that he would definitely win.
But what was beyond Chu Jingfeng's expectation was that after he asked this question, Jiang Changdong didn't say a word. He just sat there looking at the chessboard and smoking dully.
"Teacher Jiang Changdong?"
Chu Jingfeng asked again almost subconsciously.
Jiang Changdong was silent for a moment, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and finally answered: "I will lose."
The chess room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Chu Jingfeng stared at Jiang Changdong in astonishment, hardly daring to believe his ears and suspecting that he was hallucinating.
"If I were to play the black chess piece now, I would lose this game."
Jiang Changdong repeated again: "Can't win."
Chu Jingfeng couldn't utter a word for a long time. Looking at Jiang Changdong opposite him, he felt for the first time that Jiang Changdong was so strange. In his memory, Jiang Changdong was always a proud genius.
It is also because of this that when he met the equally talented Zhuang Weisheng, he refused to give in at all and believed that he was no inferior to him. He has been competing with Zhuang Weisheng until now.
How could Jiang Changdong say the words "can't win"? After all, this question is easy to answer. Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you can say that if you play it yourself, the layout will be completely different, and there will be no talk of winning or losing! But Jiang Changdong didn't do that.
He just replied that he couldn't win.
"From that sharp move, to the attack in the middle game, and finally to the end of the endgame, everything was beyond my expectations."
Jiang Changdong blew out a puff of smoke, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face, and he spoke again: "I won't do that, and I haven't even thought of doing that."
"Since he hasn't even thought about it, if it were me, I naturally wouldn't be able to say that I can beat him."
Chu Jingfeng was completely speechless and stared at Jiang Changdong blankly.
These words spoken by Jiang Changdong were so exaggerated that he couldn't believe it at all.
"He has already won the winner's bracket. All that's left is the final round. If he wins, he will qualify for the title match."
Jiang Changdong paused, then suddenly said, "I hope he can get it."
Hearing this, Chu Jingfeng was completely stunned.
Since Jiang Changdong felt that he couldn't win, why did he hope that Yu Shao could get the title challenge qualification? "I want to play a game with him."
Jiang Changdong seemed to have forgotten that he was talking to Chu Jingfeng. He just wanted to vent his inner thoughts: "It has nothing to do with titles, age, or anything else!"
"It's just that, as a chess player, I want to play against such a chess player!"
Jiang Changdong finally reached into the chess box, picked out the chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard.
"Besides, now is now, and the future is the future. We still have more than half a month until the National Team Challenge begins!"
…………
ps: I found that many people do not understand that the number of points won and lost has nothing to do with the level of chess skills... For scientific popularization, after the victory of Go is determined, in order to ensure that you will win, you must avoid too drastic changes. In other words, it doesn’t matter how the opponent chases, the advantaged party only needs to ensure that they win half a point...
When the master played chess with humans, the victory or defeat was often just half a point, because the master had already calculated the endgame and could keep giving in when he was sure to win. Sometimes the difference between winning and losing was just half a point, which was more significant than slaying a dragon...
