Chapter 377: Not Seeking Eternal Merit, Only Seeking Fame
After hearing Su Yiming's words, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, remained silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "I made a wrong judgment."
"I thought that squeeze was a good move, but White didn't play the way I expected, which resulted in the annihilation of all the pieces."
Yu Shao reached out to the chessboard, moved the chess pieces, and quickly made another change: "If that squeeze is replaced with a more solid tip, then the board will be completely different."
Yu Shao originally thought that Su Yiming would review with him what would happen if he played the tip, but he didn't expect Su Yiming to suddenly speak up and said with great certainty: "No, it's not."
No? Yu Shao was slightly stunned, and turned to look at Su Yiming in confusion.
In this game, he knew from the beginning to the end why he lost. He originally had the advantage. If he played it safe, controlled the game and concluded the game, although the battle would be long, he would have maintained the advantage.
However, he made a misjudgment, thinking that he could defeat the white pieces in one fell swoop. Under the most complicated board situation, he made the most drastic changes, which ultimately led to the advantage being wiped out.
It was also for this reason that when Jiang Changdong said that being too rigid will lead to failure, he was completely unable to refute it.
"That squeeze was undoubtedly a good move!"
Su Yiming pulled out a chair, sat down opposite Yu Shao, looked directly at him, and said, "If it were me, White would lose!"
Hearing this, Yu Shao was stunned.
Is that squeezing move a good move?
Su Yiming took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and quickly picked up the chess pieces on the board one by one, restoring the board to the time when he made the move, and then began to place his pieces one after another.
Not long after, Su Yiming stopped, stared at the chessboard, and said, "The problem lies in this move."
Post? Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, frowned slightly, and began to calculate the subsequent changes in his mind.
"This move seemed inevitable and solid, and it made up for all the flaws, but it was actually a bit slow."
Su Yiming did not keep the secret, and quickly took out the chess piece, while making another change, he said: "The situation at this moment is so complicated that one move will affect the whole body, we must attack the white chess desperately!"
"It doesn't matter even if I am riddled with wounds!"
"This is a life-and-death battle. We must not leave ourselves any room for retreat!"
"After this move, the white piece blocks, the black piece flies, and the white piece passes through. So, although the situation of the white piece still looks dangerous, it actually has a chance to breathe a sigh of relief!"
Su Yiming quickly took out the chess piece, put it down quickly, and said, "So, what if this move is not sticking, but breaking?"
Upon hearing this question, Yu Shao was stunned. The countless changes that he had been constantly calculating in his mind suddenly came to a halt!
Cut? This move, cut?
This is a path that Yu Shao had never imagined, a path to survival from death! "If it is broken, then the white chess piece can only use the tiger to fill the broken point and counterattack the black chess piece. The black chess piece can directly rush into the tiger's mouth and force the white chess piece to eat it to death!"
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and instantly saw this path clearly. He murmured, "After giving up the piece here, although Black is paralyzed, he has the upper hand. If he uses the upper hand well, White will collapse!"
After hearing what Yu Shao said, Su Yiming, who had just made two moves of chess, stopped his actions and did not make any more moves because it was meaningless.
Su Yiming exhaled a breath of foul air, looked at Yu Shao who was still staring at the chessboard, and suddenly said, "Yu Shao."
Hearing Su Yiming calling him, Yu Shao came back to his senses, took his eyes off the chessboard and looked at Su Yiming.
"I don't know why you choose to play this way, but since you choose to play this way, you have to change."
"Your overall perspective is shocking, but—"
"This is also your biggest weakness!"
Su Yiming stared at Yu Shao and said, "You think too carefully and long-term, even to the point that normal people would never consider. Subconsciously, you always want to make every move as solid and flawless as possible. You are too cautious!"
"This is an advantage, but also a weakness!"
"Because, once this move is made, it means that every move after this one will not seek eternal fame, but only achievement in this lifetime!"
Hearing Su Yiming's words, Yu Shao's head suddenly buzzed and he stared at Su Yiming in a daze.
I don't seek eternal fame, I only seek achievements in this life! Indeed.
Although he has been trying to break through himself and change his chess style since he came to this life, in fact, those changes have always been just superficial. Deep down, he has not really transformed.
Those moves of his that seemed overly intense were actually fully controlled moves made after considering the overall situation. That was the answer that the Go AI in his previous life told him!
In his subconscious, he always looks far ahead, always plans before taking action, and always subconsciously controls the situation.
This also led to a sense of disconnection in his chess moves! The AI's chess moves were extremely excessive, often losing the first move and abandoning pieces, because after losing the first move, the AI could also revive those pieces that seemed doomed, or even if they died, it could find dead pieces to borrow.
However, human chess players would not dare to make such a move. This is why professional chess players in previous lives did not fully consider the choice of the AI, because if a better move was made, the winning rate would be reduced.
In this life, he tried to choose the AI's choice, make those drastic and excessive changes, and pursue a better move. However, he was still bound by his past self and could not completely abandon the past.
In the previous few games he lost to Su Yiming, this problem had actually already been revealed, but he was completely unaware of it at the time.
"You shouldn't have taken such a risky move, but you took the best risky move, but you just couldn't follow through. In other words, you didn't fully utilize the advantage of this move."
Su Yiming looked at the chessboard, his face full of undisguised admiration and admiration: "I don't have such an idea at all. This move is simply a masterpiece and art. It is completely superior to me and completely...unreachable."
Hearing the word "out of reach", Yu Shao was silent for a moment.
“When this road appeared, I saw the direction, but I couldn’t find it no matter what.”
"You didn't find the direction of this road, but..."
Su Yiming paused, his expression somewhat unwilling, as if he was asking Yu Shao, or as if he was talking to himself, and asked: "Why?"
"This isn't even something you're good at. Why, why did you find... such a path?"
Yu Shao opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter the three words "it's not me".
It was him who made this move, and it was not him.
He had watched too many AI games and studied too many AI chess records in his previous life. Therefore, when looking at the board, he thought of similar choices that the AI had made before and finally made that move.
In other words.
The reason why he was able to find this path was because there was once an immortal who showed him the way...
Although his original path was also correct, it required a bigger detour. This better and shorter path was covered with thorns. If one wanted to walk on it, one had to endure what ordinary people could not endure and suffer what ordinary people could not bear.
Only in this way can we finally reach the higher realm of Go.
After a moment, Su Yiming shook his head, as if he had reorganized his mood, looked at Yu Shao, and said, "Yu Shao, do you still remember what I said to you at the end of the China-Japan-Korea team competition?"
Yu Shao was startled, then nodded slightly and said, "Remember."
After the China-Japan-Korea team competition ended, Su Yiming said that after winning the title in the future, the two would play another game of chess, and this game would use the title as the stakes.
"Just remember it."
Su Yiming nodded, without saying anything else, he slowly stood up and walked out of the review room.
When he reached the door of the review room, Su Yiming suddenly stopped, turned his back to Yu Shao, and said without turning his head: "The national team competition is a best-of-three match!"
"I'll wait until you have two games left!"
After saying that, Su Yiming opened the door and left the review room without looking back.
Yu Shao stared at Su Yiming's back until Su Yiming's back disappeared at the end of his sight, then he finally withdrew his gaze and looked at the chessboard in front of him.
What Su Yiming was talking about was not the next game of chess, but the remaining two games of chess.
You have to know that if you lose the next game, you won’t be able to play two more games.
Therefore, the hidden meaning in Su Yiming's words is self-evident!
He wants Yu Shao to win the next game, and the next game after that!
"I don't seek eternal merit, I only seek fame in this life."
Yu Shao took a deep breath and reached into the chess box again. The chess pieces collided in the box, making a crisp sound.
"It's exactly the opposite of my previous life. In my previous life, I didn't seek fame in this life, but only merit for eternity!"
"If you want to achieve this, you must completely abandon your past self, say goodbye to your past self, and completely transform yourself..."
"I have absolute confidence in my overall view. In terms of calculation, I don't think I am inferior to anyone. In terms of finishing, I am even more confident that no one can surpass me."
"But when it comes to the courage and decisiveness to risk one's life in a complicated situation, Su Yiming is better than me!"
Su Yiming had never won a game against him in a formal competition before, so although Yu Shao felt that Su Yiming was a formidable enemy, he did not think that he was better than himself.
Until this moment, he finally saw it.
Under the most complicated board, Su Yiming has a shocking fighting spirit and determination. He is never afraid of failure and dares to sacrifice himself. Because of this, we can see the most shocking moves! The courage to sacrifice himself is enough to make him burst out with imagination and courage that will make all chess players bow down!
Yu Shao couldn't help but recall every game of chess he had played with Su Yiming.
The first game was played in a high school Go league.
In that game, Su Yiming was no match for him at all. Although he held on until the end, he was still defeated. The gap in that game was so big that there was no chance for him to even sacrifice his life.
The second game is the ranking match.
In that game, Su Yiming played the Demon Sword and Avalanche successively. Although he thought these two patterns had been eliminated, in the eyes of Su Yiming and most people, these were the most complicated and most likely to cause a sudden death! At that time, Su Yiming's determination to sacrifice his life had already been revealed.
The third game was in the Yingjiao Cup.
In that game of chess, Su Yiming, who was in a desperate situation, finally burst out with amazing courage and calculation. With his wild imagination, he gave up the big dragon with great momentum to seize the initiative, and finally played a shocking game!
The fourth game was in the main battle qualifiers.
Needless to say, in that game of chess, Su Yiming played the most complicated and riskiest point three-three complex pattern. The complexity of this pattern was even beyond the reach of the three previous difficult patterns.
He had never thought from Su Yiming's perspective. What kind of determination and courage did Su Yiming need to make such moves against him?
This kind of courage to sacrifice one's life is Su Yiming's strongest point, but also his weakest point!
This is why, although he made that move, he ultimately failed to find the right path, but Su Yiming did! Su Yiming has never been just a pursuer. From the beginning to the end, there are always things that he is inferior to, but he never discovered it before!
This amazing fighting spirit, the spirit of never giving up, and the courage to sacrifice one's life, Yu Shao has never seen such kind of chess players in his previous life or this life!
Therefore, Su Yiming has never been a pursuer. He has always underestimated Su Yiming. Because of his AI experience in his previous life, he actually always thought from the bottom of his heart that Su Yiming was just a pursuer.
No! Su Yiming possesses something that even he, who had experienced the AI era in his previous life, does not have!
He is a strong man who is completely different from his previous life. He is... a real rival!
"If... I also had these!"
Yu Shao slowly took out the chess piece, and his eyes changed slightly at this moment.
The moment he took out the chess piece from the chess box, Yu Shao seemed to see all the chess games he had played in his previous life, and he also seemed to see every move he had made in this life!
In fact, Yu Shao didn’t care too much about losing to Jiang Changdong before.
Because he knew very well that by choosing that way of playing, he was just trying to break through himself and looking for a stronger move. Otherwise, if he played the game using the same moves as in his previous life, he would not have lost.
Now, Yu Shao finally understood that this was actually just a form of self-escape.
In fact, he has never stepped out of his comfort zone and has never gotten rid of his past self.
No matter how strong you were in the past, it has nothing to do with yourself in this life. You in this life are destined to take a path that is completely opposite to your previous life, so changing your chess style and losing is not an excuse.
If you lose, you lose.
Because they care too much about the overall situation, they dare not risk their lives. In the end, even if they do make a better move, they still lose. There is no excuse at all!
Even if he won the game with the chess moves of his previous life, it was only his previous life that won, but not this life! At this moment, Yu Shao's thoughts were clear, and he saw where Su Yiming was better than him. His fighting spirit was completely aroused at this moment, because at this moment, after walking for so long, he finally saw the way forward! "If I also have the courage to sacrifice my life!"
Ta! The chess piece falls on the board!
"I dare to share with AI first!"
