Chapter 379 Sword
In the chat room, everyone was in different moods and glanced at Yu Shao from time to time.
As time went on and the game time approached, everyone finally calmed down.
Finally, when the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, the referee sitting on the left looked at the watch on his wrist, stood up, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Time is up!"
"The national players' match is a round game, so there is no need to guess the first move in the second game. The attack sequence will be changed. In this game, national player Jiang Changdong will play black, and Yu Shao, 3rd dan, will play white!"
"The rules of the game are: Black has a 7.5 point handicap, each side has three hours, and there is a one-minute countdown!"
"Now, the second round of the national champion title challenge begins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, Jiang Changdong and Yu Shao bowed to each other.
However, facing Jiang Changdong, who had just defeated him not long ago, Yu Shao's expression still showed no changes or ripples, and he was extremely calm.
On the other side, Jiang Changdong also noticed this and his expression darkened.
The chess game begins!
Jiang Changdong looked at the chessboard in front of him. After two or three seconds, he finally reached into the chess box, took out the chess piece, and made his first move.
Da! The crisp sound of a chess piece falling echoed in the quiet chess room. As soon as a piece fell, it seemed to have a sense of solemnity!
Seventeen columns and four rows, small eyes!
Yu Shao looked at the white piece in the upper right corner, his eyes still calm.
During these seven days, except for some time spent flying to Sichuan, he stayed alone in the hotel, reviewing all the chess games he had played in this life, as well as... those in his previous life.
He began to look at every move he had made from another perspective, or in other words, to face the Yu Shao of his previous life from the perspective of the present Yu Shao.
At this moment, looking at the chessboard, those past chess games seemed to reappear before his eyes one by one, and he remembered every move clearly.
Time is ticking away.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes...
Everyone's face was filled with astonishment. They had never expected that Yu Shao would be so absorbed in thinking after only his second move! "If you cling to the past, you won't be able to see the future..."
Finally, after nearly five minutes, Yu Shao's right hand finally reached into the chess box!
“Click.”
When he put his hand into the chess box, the chess pieces inside the box suddenly collided with a sound!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard with a calm and profound gaze. The moment he took out the chess piece, the sound of the chess pieces colliding in the chess box suddenly stopped!
"Well, that's it..."
Snap! The chess pieces fell onto the board with a loud thump! Four columns and four rows, stars!
"Xing?"
Seeing Yu Shao finally make his move, Jiang Changdong's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his chess piece, followed closely by quickly placing it on the board.
clatter.
Sixteenth column, seventeenth row, small eye! Yu Shao did not fall into long thinking again. Just a few moments after Jiang Changdong made his move, he took out his chess piece and made it as fast as flying!
Four columns and seventeen rows, small eyes!
After the first four moves by both sides were completed, a situation of wrong small eyes against star small eyes was formed. It was Jiang Changdong's turn to play again, and Jiang Changdong made his move immediately.
Fourteen columns and four rows, big jump to guard the corner!
Yu Shao seemed to follow without thinking and placed the piece on the chessboard.
White chess piece, seventeen columns and seventeen rows, small flying chess piece hanging in the corner!
Black chess, three columns and fifteen rows, small flying chess hanging corner! White chess, fifteen columns and sixteen rows, flying chess pressing!
…
Both sides were making moves very quickly, as if they were racing against time, it was a feast for the eyes.
“It’s falling so fast!”
The female scorekeeper was somewhat shocked at the speed at which the two players made their moves. She slid the mouse and clicked on the chess record, almost never stopping, constantly recording every move of both sides.
"It's raining so fast?"
Seeing that Yu Shao made almost every move instantly, as if this was not a slow game of three hours for each side, but a fast game of half an hour, Jiang Changdong's eyes could not help but change.
The speed of making moves actually hides some deeper meaning.
The move is made at a breathtaking speed, often in an attempt to overwhelm the opponent with momentum and shake the opponent's confidence! "You are so aggressive and aggressive!"
Jiang Changdong's eyes became more dangerous. Seeing Yu Shao make another move, he immediately clamped his chess piece and dropped it, not wanting to be outdone! "But it doesn't matter."
"I know his weaknesses very well! Since I can beat him once, I can beat him a second time!"
"I just need to calmly make each move and wait for him to attack. In the complicated and confusing battle, his moves will naturally reveal flaws!"
At this time, Yu Shao made another move.
Jiang Changdong glanced at the chessboard, picked up the chess piece as well, and dropped it quickly.
"We can't be impatient to counterattack, to be invincible, and to lure him into the game."
Soon, Yu Shao made another move.
Jiang Changdong also immediately picked up the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
"All I have to do is wait..."
Da! Da! Da! Both sides kept placing their pieces. The sound of chess pieces hitting the board echoed in the chess room one after another, like a fierce sonata, echoing in everyone's ears!
"Yes!"
Jiang Changdong reached into the chess box again, picked up a chess piece and dropped it quickly. When the white chess piece fell on the board, Yu Shao, just like before, picked up a chess piece again and dropped it right after him.
"Just wait patiently—"
When Jiang Changdong saw Yu Shao make his move, he reflexively reached into the chess box again, trying to pick up the chess piece and put it down.
However, when Jiang Changdong’s hand just reached into the chess box, he also saw clearly the position where Yu Shao had just placed the chess piece. He was shocked and his pupils suddenly contracted rapidly! His hand, which was about to take out the chess piece, also stopped in the chess box and could not continue to place the chess piece immediately as before! "Directly, you start to attack at this time?!"
On the chessboard!
Five columns and twelve rows, suppress! …
…
Gangneung, Southern Chess Academy.
"Yu Shao he——"
In the broadcasting room of the Southern Chess Institute, Zheng Qin stared at the TV screen in disbelief. He had just been sitting on a chair, but after seeing this move, he suddenly stood up from the chair uncontrollably!
He opened his mouth, but it seemed as if something was blocking his throat and he couldn't utter a word for a while!
After a long time, Zheng Qin finally regained the ability to speak, his face still showing a deep shock -
"Direct attack?!"
“It’s so early!”
Not only Zheng Qin, but also Wu Zhixuan, Xu Zijin and other professional chess players in the chess discussion room, all looked at the computer screen in disbelief, not daring to believe their eyes!
"Is this true? This is too much!"
Wu Zhixuan stared at the TV screen without blinking, her pretty face full of shock. She couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Yu Shao's previous moves were already too much, and now, he attacked directly after setting up the formation. He entered the game too quickly!"
"What is he going to do?"
Even Xu Zijin couldn't stay calm. He stared at the TV screen absentmindedly and couldn't help but mutter softly.
The broadcast room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone looked at the chess game in disbelief, their hearts filled with deep shock.
In the previous game, most chess players still thought that Yu Shao lost because of that move that was too aggressive. If he had played more firmly and not been so risky, it would have been difficult for Jiang Changdong to defeat him.
However, Yu Shao finally made that move and chose to take a risk, but was eventually overturned by Jiang Changdong.
However, facing Jiang Changdong's second game, Yu Shao not only did not learn his lesson, but even... became even worse?! ...
…
Hands talking indoors.
Jiang Changdong stared at the chessboard with disbelief on his face.
He was waiting for the moment when Yu Shao could no longer hold back his attack. He had even prepared himself mentally and was ready to wait patiently. However, he never expected that this moment would come so early!
Arriving so early was beyond his imagination and was almost unreasonable!
The so-called unreasonable move is a move that is so brutal and unreasonable. Once it is made, it will be immediately met with a strong counterattack from the opponent, and the opponent will eventually be punished and pay the price!
This method can be considered a provocation!
On the side, the female scorekeeper and two referees also stared with their eyes wide open, completely stunned! Jiang Changdong's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed his inner emotions, finally picked up the chess piece, and put it down immediately.
Seeing Jiang Changdong's move, Yu Shao immediately reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and placed it down again.
Da! Eight columns and eleven rows. Wow! "Since he's using force like that, I'll give him back!"
Jiang Changdong gritted his teeth, scanned the chessboard, and kept calculating the various subsequent changes in the game in his mind.
"The invasion and elimination of the white pieces lacks support. If I cut off the white pieces' retreat route directly, they will be isolated!"
"Then I will just cut it off. The white piece can only retreat. I will block it again, and the white piece will be divided. Then I will surround the land, and the white piece can only destroy the isolated piece. When it finishes destroying the isolated piece, I will be left with nothing!"
"Even if that isolated piece is alive, it has no way to fight back!"
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Jiang Changdong's eyes, and he picked up the chess piece again and placed it on the chessboard.
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard expressionlessly. After just a glance, he immediately picked up the chess piece and the black chess piece fell down.
Seeing that Yu Shao was still making moves quickly, Jiang Changdong became a little impatient. He clenched his left fist and picked up the chess piece again.
Da! Da! Da! The black and white pieces spread across the chessboard at an alarming speed, intertwining and entangled with each other, making the board indistinguishable and increasingly complicated! "Okay, the white piece has been isolated. If I kill all of them, the white piece may have to fight to the death. However, as soon as I turn around and surround the empty space instead of attacking, the white piece will be caught in a dilemma!"
Seeing that the situation was developing as he expected, Jiang Changdong felt a little relieved, but he still stared at the board closely, not daring to be careless at all.
“Click.”
The sound of grabbing the child rang out again.
Yu Shao took out the white chess piece from the chess box and dropped it quickly, just like before.
Da! Seven columns and five lines, cut!
Seeing this move, Jiang Changdong was slightly stunned, then he was shocked, and his expression suddenly changed! "He didn't escape, but cut off?"
This move was completely beyond Jiang Changdong's expectations, and cold sweat broke out on Jiang Changdong's forehead!
"You actually tried this! You're trying to break out of my territory!"
"Before we isolated the white chess piece just now, we should have seized the commanding heights and taken the initiative. I didn't expect that there would be a loophole here!"
Jiang Changdong's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. Although he still had the advantage on the board, he felt that the situation had deviated drastically out of control!
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Changdong finally figured out what to do and reached into the chess box.
"At this point, it's impossible to surround the empty space. We can only make the best of a bad situation and force this isolated piece into a desperate situation. Even if we can finally make it alive, we can use it to deal with the white pieces!"
Chess piece, fall! ...
…
Outside the Eastern Chess Academy, in a small chess hall called Donghai Chess Hall, a chess record is hung on the wall.
If chess fans who pay a little attention to current domestic competitions come to this chess hall, they will be able to recognize at a glance that this is the second game played by Yu Shao and Zhu Xinyuan.
After this game of chess was played, it caused a huge sensation on the Internet.
At this time, in the chess hall, a group of people gathered around the TV, staring at the TV screen intently.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
Someone couldn't help but shout out excitedly: "It's still that Yu Shao. Who said Yu Shao would be hit? He's too strong. With this move, not only did the white chess come back to life, but it even threatens the black chess dragon!"
"yes!"
Someone nodded in shock and said, "However, Jiang Changdong is indeed a strong player. He took advantage of the threat to his dragon to lure the white pieces deeper and attack the isolated white piece!"
"So what? Yu Shao's response was very decisive. With one move, he strangled the black chess piece by the throat. Now it feels like the situation for the white chess piece is very good!"
A man in a jacket flushed and shook his head. He turned to look at a middle-aged man in a Mao suit in the crowd and asked, "Secretary Han, you are the best chess player here, don't you think?"
The middle-aged man had an extraordinary aura and looked like he was not an ordinary person, but at this moment he did not have any airs at all. Not only did he get along well with the people around him, but his expression was actually a little excited as he looked at the chess board.
He thought about it, nodded, and said, "Indeed, White is playing better now. This series of moves is so smooth, not a single one is slow!"
"However, we can't take it lightly."
The middle-aged man in the Mao suit paused for a moment before continuing in a deep voice: "Black is in a tough fight, but it is still far from being in a desperate situation. Even I can see a lot of ways for Black to counterattack!"
"Oh, isn't Secretary Han a fan of national chess player Jiang Changdong? From the tone of his voice, it seems he is thinking from Yu Shao's perspective?" Someone couldn't help but joked.
"Hahahaha, people always change, and Yu Shao's chess moves are really wonderful!"
Secretary Han smiled and said, "Although we lost the last game, that defeat actually attracted me more. That game showed Yu Shao's spirit of never giving up even in a desperate situation."
Secretary Han let out a long sigh, looked at the TV screen, and said with some emotion: "I don't know how this game of chess will turn out. It's really-"
“It’s really exciting!”
