Chapter 360: I just can't learn
It was already afternoon when Yu Shao returned to the hotel.
The winners group of the national team title match has decided the winner, but the loser group competition is still going on. In the end, only one person in the loser group will be able to crawl out of the pile of corpses and continue to move forward on the road to the title match.
Finally, the champion of the winner group will fight with the champion of the loser group to compete for the qualification to challenge for the title. Only the winner can enter the final chess showdown with the current title holder.
"In the final of the Day-After Great Chess Player Competition, Su Yiming's opponent is Zhang Dongchen, the Go Saint."
Yu Shao was reviewing today's chess game and suddenly thought of the great chess masters' battle.
The Grand Masters Tournament and the National Masters Tournament are being held almost simultaneously. This tournament is drawing to a close, and the game the day after tomorrow will be the first time that Su Yiming will play against the current title holder.
"Zhang Dongchen and Su Yiming..."
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, lost in thought.
Although Su Yiming lost all the games he played against him, in his opinion, Su Yiming was not weak, and was even incredibly strong. He was also the first opponent in the world that made him prepare for war.
He has been playing Go for such a long time, but in this life, there are only three games that he was not sure about.
One was the game he played against Su Yiming in the Yingjiao Cup, another was the game he played with Li Congyou before, and the last one was the game he played against an unknown opponent on the Internet.
Especially in the chess game played online, he was indeed at a disadvantage in that game. This was also the first time in his life that he felt the feeling of being forced into a desperate situation.
Unfortunately, the game was not completed at that time. I don’t know why the opponent was judged to have lost due to timeout and never came online again.
Thinking of this, Yu Shao pondered for a moment, suddenly stood up, walked to the table, and opened his laptop.
Soon, Yu Shao logged into the "19" international Go platform again, and searched for the ID of his opponent.
shiau.
This id doesn't seem to have any special meaning, it's just an id randomly typed on the keyboard.
"Online?"
Yu Shao looked at the computer screen and saw that the ID he searched for was glowing slightly, indicating that it was currently online. His eyes lit up and he immediately slid the mouse to the side of the ID, ready to right-click to initiate a battle invitation.
But at this moment, Yu Shao suddenly noticed that the words "in game" were displayed on the right side of the ID.
"Already playing chess?"
Yu Shao was a little disappointed, but he quickly slid the mouse, clicked the right button, and entered the spectator mode.
"Just beginning?"
Yu Shao glanced at the chessboard and found that there were not many chess pieces on it. Both sides had only made more than twenty moves and were still in the layout stage.
After taking a look at the situation, Yu Shao looked at the ID of Shiau's opponent, and then he couldn't help but be stunned.
Gangxuebuhuixia.
This is Shiau's opponent.
"Pinyin?"
Yu Shao frowned slightly and subconsciously read out the other party's ID in pinyin: "Just learned... don't know how to download?"
Seeing this ID, Yu Shao couldn't help but smile for a moment. After thinking about it, he clicked on the information of "Just Can't Download" and started reading it. Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's not a lot, only forty-one games, but... the winning rate is 100%?"
Yu Shao was actually not too surprised by this winning rate.
After all, in this world, Go is the largest chess sport. The base of players is too large, the platform traffic is also very large, and online chess is generally a fast game with one move taking 60 seconds, so forty-one games is not a lot.
In this world, even for amateur chess players, it is normal to win thirty or forty games in a row online and maintain a 100% winning rate.
However, if you just can't learn how to use this ID, combined with the 100% winning rate, it seems a bit out of place.
This guy just couldn't learn how to play. He must be some amateur chess player in China who came to the 19th International Platform to bully others.
"But, facing Shiau, it's considered bad luck."
Yu Shao found it a little funny in his heart. He turned his gaze away from the Pinyin ID that he had just failed to learn and focused on the chessboard and the game.
So far, the layout of both sides is relatively stable. They are both deploying their troops without showing any sharp edge, and are generally in a balance.
Because it was a fast game of chess with one move every 60 seconds, both sides made their moves very quickly. As Yu Shao watched, his expression changed from indifference at the beginning to gradually become a little surprised.
"Shiau played white in this game, and just as I expected, every move was good."
"But this guy, who just couldn't learn to play black, played... unexpectedly well. Not only was his layout very methodical, but his thinking was also very thorough. Until now, I haven't been able to find any major flaws."
At this moment, on the computer screen, Shiau placed the white piece again.
Fourteen columns and eight rows, pull! "Strong hand!"
Seeing this move, Yu Shao's eyes changed slightly and his expression became more serious.
"Shiau is not willing to wait any longer!"
"He took the initiative and started the attack!"
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and saw the white chess piece's move. He subconsciously stood in the black chess piece's perspective in his mind and kept calculating the life and death of the black chess piece on the board.
Not long after, the black player "Gangxuebuzizhuang" also placed his chess piece.
But this move was beyond Yu Shao's expectations.
Twelve columns and nine rows, big fly!
"You actually move in this way?"
A look of surprise appeared on Yu Shao's face, and then his brows frowned subconsciously.
“Not bad!”
After a moment, Yu Shao's expression became a little surprised.
“This big flying move, this way of moving, looks a bit strange, but when you think about it carefully, it feels very interesting. The changes are actually very interesting and fun!”
"But the question is, is Black's move based on his chess sense or the result of careful consideration? Can he fully exert the effect of this move?"
…
…
At this time, on the other side, Seoul.
"Da Fei?"
An Hongshi looked at the computer screen and saw this move. His expression was surprised at first, but after careful consideration, his expression finally became serious.
"It's really... a brilliant move."
An Hongshi moved his eyes away from the chessboard and looked at his opponent's ID, as if he wanted to see the opponent's figure clearly through the computer.
He logged into the 19 Go platform today and had just finished watching the game between Zhuang Weisheng and Yu Shao. He felt itchy and thought that he hadn't played online Go for a long time, so he randomly matched himself with a game. He didn't expect to meet such an opponent.
"He's not just any amateur chess player."
"Absolutely not."
An Hongshi looked at the computer screen, thought for a moment, and finally moved the mouse and gently placed the chess piece.
"Such an opponent is worth a serious fight!"
…
…
On the chessboard, black and white pieces kept falling one after another, and the frequent sounds of the pieces falling echoed in the room.
"Shiau is not an ordinary master."
Yu Shao looked at the chess board and became more and more serious.
"But this guy who just couldn't learn to play is definitely not an ordinary amateur chess player! He is definitely not an ordinary person!"
Originally, Yu Shao thought that the outcome of this game of chess should be a foregone conclusion, but as he watched the black and white pieces falling one after another on the computer screen, he unknowingly immersed himself in the game.
"Shiau was very ruthless and experienced, requiring the right side to be swallowed completely."
"But Black's moves don't follow common sense."
"Even though the white chess pieces used such ruthless means to attack the black chess pieces, the black chess pieces still did not reveal the slightest flaw and completely neutralized the white chess pieces' offensive."
"White's attack was ineffective, and now Black is starting to counterattack, threatening a large dragon below White."
Yu Shao stared at the chessboard intently. He was the only one paying attention to this exciting fight between black and white.
Now the offensive and defensive situations are different, and the black chess' counterattack is also extremely scary.
"perhaps……"
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, thinking about how the situation would develop.
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer from the chaos. Facing the attack of the black pieces, the best thing for the white pieces to do is to simply give up and gain greater value."
At this moment, the white chess piece finally fell again.
Da! Eight columns and five elements, turn!
"There is no need to sacrifice a piece. Do you want to save this piece by force?"
Seeing this move, Yu Shao couldn't help but frown.
From a local perspective, abandoning such a large area is like cutting meat with a drastic knife, which is certainly unacceptable.
But if we look at the overall situation, if we don't give up, the chess pieces will become heavier and heavier, and the white pieces may be dragged down.
Having seen so many AI chess games in his previous life, from his overall perspective, sacrificing a big piece here is the best option for White. I'm afraid if the AI were to play, it would also sacrifice it without hesitation.
Soon, the black chess piece fell again.
The black and white sides immediately began to make moves quickly again.
As the fight between the two sides intensified, Yu Shao's expression couldn't help but change.
"Here, White should really give up the piece, but Shiau insisted on saving it."
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
"These two pieces should have been trapped by the black pieces, but the white pieces miraculously saved them after making many moves!"
"Although White didn't consider the overall situation just now, he did his best in the local situation! In other words, White's strategy was deviated, but he showed a fantastic tactic!"
"Relying on tactics, the strategy was reversed!"
"In this case, we can't even say that there is something wrong with White's strategy!"
At this moment, on the computer screen, the white chess piece fell again! Da! Seven columns and six rows, click!
This move completely reveals the true intention of the game! "After this point, the black chess piece's blockade and attempt to force the white chess piece to eat is no longer valid. The white chess piece can directly break the eater and rush out... In this way, even the black chess piece's dragon is still in danger!"
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and could already see the edge of the white chess pieces in this game.
"Black chess, I'm afraid it's not good."
At this time, facing the move of the white chess piece, the black chess piece also fell into a long period of thinking.
Time passes by every second.
After all, each move in online chess only lasts sixty seconds. After more than fifty seconds of thinking, almost at the last second, the black piece finally landed on the board.
Six columns and seven rows, stick!
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The sound of chess pieces dropping repeatedly echoed in the room.
Yu Shao looked at the chess game with an extremely serious expression.
The situation of the chess game was once again completely beyond his expectations! Facing the vicious tactics of the white chess, the black chess used the two white pieces to the extreme, and launched a series of dazzling isolated pieces with the counterattack on the waist of the white chess! ...
…
On the other side, there was no expression on An Hongshi's face. He looked at the computer screen, as if he saw his opponent on the other side of the computer swinging a long sword towards him.
"who is he?"
An Hongshi stared at the black piece that had just landed on the chessboard: "It's so strong... beyond my expectation."
“Not only can he quickly judge the situation, but even in the most complicated situation, he can still make the most brilliant move.”
"Such a chess player will never remain unknown."
At first, he thought his opponent was just an ordinary amateur chess player, but later on, he felt that the opponent was not that simple, and now...
“I may not win.”
Watching every move made by the black chess piece, An Hongshi could feel the pressure coming from the chessboard even through the computer screen.
"Are there so many experts on the Internet? Last time it was the same..."
"Although the white pieces look very loose and seem to collapse at any moment, I'm afraid we can't act rashly. The pieces are too heavy. If we continue like this, we'll probably be outmaneuvered."
"If you don't give up, you won't gain anything. You must join the game and fight to the death with the black chess at the last moment!"
On the computer, the time for White to place his chess piece has entered the countdown.
five.
Four.
three.
Finally, with only two seconds left, An Hongshi finally slid the mouse and placed the chess piece.
clatter.
Column 2, row 11, sharp! "Whoever you are, come on!"
…
…
"tip……"
Shiau’s choice also went beyond Yu Shao’s expectations!
Just now Shiau seemed to have a poor view of the overall situation, but now he is focusing on the whole board. He will sacrifice pieces if he wants to, without any hesitation. He sacrifices pieces in the lower board to slay the dragon in the upper board, and sacrifices pieces in the middle board to swallow up the dragon on the left side!
"Wonderful!"
Yu Shao stared at the chessboard intently, watching the flashes of swords and knives on the board. Even through the screen, he could feel the strong threat.
Even he felt this game of chess was thrilling, and it was just a quick game. These two people were definitely not ordinary chess players!
"Who is Shiau?"
"Who is that guy who just can't learn to play?"
"Is this a pre-arranged match? Or is it a random match?"
This was a thrilling battle of up to two hundred points between the two sides. In the end, the white chess piece discarded all the large number of chess pieces that it had painstakingly rescued, which was extremely visually impactful.
But the white pieces also smashed the black pieces above, and finally formed a transition. At this point, both sides were beaten to a pulp, and the situation was still very close! "White has a slightly better advantage... but the advantage is not big, and the victory will be decided in the endgame."
Yu Shao stared at the computer screen silently, watching the two sides continue to make moves.
This kind of large-scale fight with 200 points rarely occurs. Once it does, the outcome is usually decided in the middle game. It is even rarer to see a game like this that goes to the endgame.
What's more, this is a fast game of chess with one move taking 60 seconds!
"I just can't learn how to play the endgame better. There are hidden dangers at every step, and the outcome is still undecided."
Who will win or lose in this online chess game?
