Chapter 422 Do you want to say that you are too strong?
The chess game is over.
Although White tried his best in the second half of the game, he still couldn't catch up with the huge gap in the middle game. In the end, he still met a tragic end!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard silently and was not surprised at losing.
When He Yu made a mistake in the middle game, causing the market to collapse, he had already anticipated the final outcome.
Although he found a way to come back to life, it was just this one way, and the possibility of it actually being successful was not very high.
really.
He Yu fought back in the second half of the game and played very well indeed, but it is rare to see someone learn from his mistakes and then become braver. The world of professional Go is just so cruel and ruthless.
As a professional chess player, one must endure hardships, put in countless sweat and efforts, and fight despair throughout one's life, but even so, one may still not get the desired outcome in the end.
But even though he lost this game, He Yu's fighting spirit and courage in the second half of the game infected and moved him.
"Fear and fighting spirit..."
Yu Shao glanced at He Yu, who was standing beside him with his head down and silent, and felt extremely complicated.
Although He Yu's chess skills were still immature in his opinion, and although he had some flashes of inspiration, he was still lacking in his judgment of the situation and the choice of values.
However, perhaps there are also things he needs to learn from He Yu.
Seeing He Yu surrender, Zhuang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After taking two deep breaths, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
After a moment, He Yu replied weakly, "Thank you for your advice."
The four of them saluted each other, packed up their chess pieces, and then stood up and left the chess room.
Today's torch war is completely over.
At this time, countless viewers online finally came back to their senses from the chess game.
"What a shame, I still lost in the end. I thought this game might have an unexpected and surprising reversal, but I guessed the beginning but not the end."
"This game was so exciting that it would be considered top-notch even in a formal single-player tournament. For the Xinhuo War to be played to this level is even more precious. I was completely immersed in the game for a while."
"The essence of this game came after White's defeat, when the four players each displayed their talents and made a series of surprising moves. If White hadn't made that decisive move, the rest of the game might not have been so exciting."
"Then the question is, was it that bad move that made the game successful, or was it that bad move that ruined White's chess?"
"Uh... this..."
"Compared to He Yu and Zhuang Fei, he is still a bit behind. Zhuang Fei is indeed worthy of being the son of Teacher Zhuang Weisheng."
Everyone felt a little emotional.
This game, when compared to a match between two high-level players, although not amazing or a famous one, is definitely exciting.
You know, this is not a competition between two high-level chess players, but a battle of the torch involving four people!
It is unforgettable that a four-player match could reach this level.
…
…
Inside the Southern Chess Courtyard.
After the Torch War ended, the four of them parted ways.
Su Yiming planned to go to the cafeteria to eat, and Zhuang Fei planned to stay in the chess academy, so Yu Shao and He Yu walked out of the chess academy together.
He Yu remained silent along the way, just lowered his head and walked silently.
Yu Shao looked at He Yu, who was obviously in a very depressed mood, and did not say anything to comfort him.
Even if you perform far beyond your usual level, you will still suffer a crushing defeat. This is a necessary step for chess players.
And this road can only be walked by He Yu himself.
Yu Shao couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and fragments of his past life appeared before his eyes.
The two of them walked in silence towards the gate of the chess academy. Not long after, when they finally arrived at the gate, Yu Shao stopped and prepared to say goodbye to He Yu and take a taxi home.
At this moment, He Yu suddenly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Yu Shao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"It's all my fault..."
He Yu lowered his head deeply and said, "It's all because I'm too weak. I'm holding you back."
"I originally thought that I could keep up with you and defeat Zhuang Fei and the others together."
He Yu clenched his fists tightly and spoke again, "I was too naive. After becoming a professional chess player, I actually thought I could be compared with chess players like you."
He Yu's voice became extremely weak, and he said: "It's completely not on the same level, too strong. I often can't even understand your chess moves. I... am too weak."
"You played very well."
Yu Shao looked at He Yu, and after a while, he finally spoke.
"You're lying!"
He Yu suddenly became extremely excited. He raised his head, looked at Yu Shao, and said, "You didn't use your full strength at all!"
"Ever since that hanging move, you've been deliberately leaving me with a command move. It's a move that the opponent must respond to once it's played. Whenever I don't know how to play it, I'll just use the command move. That way, it's guaranteed to be right!"
"You have no choice but to play this way in order to take care of me. If it weren't for me, maybe you would have had a chance to win this game!"
"It's all because of me..."
Yu Shao said nothing.
He Yu was not wrong. Because he was worried that He Yu might not know how to make a move in such a complicated situation, he deliberately gave He Yu the first move. If He Yu didn't know how to make a move, he would take the first move. That way, at least he could ensure that there would be no collapse.
He originally thought that He Yu couldn't see it, but in the end, He Yu still saw it.
"But that Yishou Town is beautiful, isn't it?"
Yu Shao thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I never expected that move to suppress you. It was a move that belonged only to you."
"But in the end, I still lost."
A bitter smile appeared on He Yu's lips, and he said, "Now it seems that perhaps the best move is to make up for it, and wait for you to take over and decide how the board will develop."
"You were probably planning to attack Black, but it was my move that disrupted your plan. I was just being clever."
At this point, the self-blame on He Yu's face became more and more intense.
"Maybe that's true. Maybe if we make up for the lost pieces, we have a better chance of winning."
Hearing this, Yu Shao did not refute. He looked at He Yu and said, "But I think this is the move a chess player should make."
Hearing this, He Yu was stunned.
"The beauty of this move lies not in how brilliant it is, but in the fact that it reveals a player's determination to continue playing chess and his will to never give up."
Yu Shao smiled and said, "In my opinion, this move is far superior to any other move I have made in this game. I still need to learn from you in this regard."
"Learn from me?"
He Yu was a little puzzled: "Yu Shao, national team player, don't you have any fighting spirit?"
"No, I do."
Yu Shao smiled and said, "It's just that I don't have that kind of fighting spirit to risk everything and win."
"Is there any difference?"
He Yu was a little confused and wondered.
"Hmm."
Yu Shao pondered for a moment, thought about it, and explained: "One is that I feel that I may lose, but I am more confident that I will win, so I have the fighting spirit to win."
"And the other is someone who thinks it's difficult or even impossible to win, but still pursues with awe, vowing to win."
Hearing this, He Yu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to fully understand what Yu Shao meant. He couldn't help but twitch his lips: "So, Yu Shao, national team player, what you mean is that you are too strong?"
Yu Shao smiled and said nothing.
"Depend on!"
He Yu felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, and suddenly didn't want to talk to Yu Shao anymore.
When Yu Shao saw He Yu's expression, he knew that He Yu had misunderstood what he said, or in other words, it was not entirely correct.
He had indeed never encountered an opponent who made him feel he could win, but who was also destined to be extremely difficult to win. Even Su Yiming could not do that.
But, more importantly, he actually has opponents who he feels are extremely difficult to defeat, or even impossible to defeat.
However, facing that opponent, he no longer had the fighting spirit to chase after him with awe and determination to win.
Or rather, I no longer feel that I can win.
That opponent, standing high on the top of Mount Sinai in Go, radiates a light of infinite power that fascinates people, yet makes them dare not look directly at him.
However, he was destined not to be able to tell He Yu these words in detail.
"Isn't the World Championship about to start?"
He Yu thought for a moment and continued, "You've already played against most of the domestic players, but the competition in the world championships is a hundred times more intense than in domestic competitions! Even Teacher Zhuang Weisheng has been constantly defeated!"
"Worlds?"
Yu Shao had heard people talk about the cruelty and intensity of the World Championship more than once. He was actually looking forward to the World Championship in this world where chess was so popular. He nodded and said with a smile, "I think so."
"What do you mean by 'should'? Of course, it's the World Championship!"
He Yu's face was full of longing as he said, "Kimura Go, Honinbo Shingo, Hans... that's the battlefield for all the chess players who are worthy of the title of legend!"
Yu Shao smiled faintly, and became more and more excited about the World Championship.
Nowadays, his understanding of attack and killing has become more profound, and his sense of life and death has been honed to be extremely sharp. He has completely broken away from his previous life and embarked on a path that is completely different from his previous life.
His current attack and killing skills are definitely not weak even in his previous life in a fight.
However, Yu Shao could clearly feel that he still had a long way to go on this road, and he had not yet reached the pinnacle of judging between life and death.
He still has a gap to reach the top fighting chess players in his previous life.
But Yu Shao didn't know how to proceed.
Perhaps, in this world where the Go craze is sweeping everywhere, the World Championship will really give him the experience of his previous life, as well as... surprises.
"But you are truly strong. Every time you make a move, I feel an overwhelming aura coming from you."
He Yu also smiled, then took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said with high morale: "In the future, I must become a chess player as good as you, Yu Shao, and compete in the world championship!"
"come on."
Seeing He Yu cheer up again, Yu Shao came back to his senses and smiled.
"I hope that in the near future, I can sit across from you as your opponent!"
He Yu was only fourteen or fifteen years old after all. The dejection on his face had disappeared, and he spoke with full fighting spirit.
"Then I won't show mercy."
Yu Shao smiled.
After this battle of the torch, he was actually quite optimistic about He Yu. He Yu's chess style was balanced, his senses were sharp, and he could easily create ambiguous situations on the board. He won by sacrificing pieces and playing with flavor and attacking efficiently.
In time, if you can reach the world's best level by relying on flavor and attack to gain advantage, then you will have strong control over the advantage and outstanding stickiness. The only drawback is that you will be slightly lacking in the ability to deal with disadvantageous atmospheres.
"Of course!"
He Yu clenched his fists and said confidently, "Today's game of chess had a profound impact on me. Although I lost, I feel like I've become much stronger. It won't be long before I defeat Zhuang Fei and avenge my previous defeat!"
Yu Shao looked at He Yu with a faint smile on his face.
The battle of the torch, the battle of the torch.
Passing on the torch.
The predecessor passed the fire to the next person, and now, he has become the one who passes on the fire.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to that day."
After chatting briefly with He Yu for a few more words, Yu Shao finally said goodbye to He Yu and took a taxi home.
…
…
When Yu Shao returned home, Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei were still in the hot pot restaurant, and the house was empty.
Yu Shao quickly changed into slippers, walked straight into the bedroom, sat in front of the computer, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The World Championship."
"Except for the China-Japan-Korea team competition, I haven't played against other foreign players. And the China-Japan-Korea team competition is a youth competition, while the world competition..."
Thinking of this, Yu Shao blinked his eyes, suddenly remembered something, immediately turned on the computer, slid the mouse, clicked on the long-lost "Nineteen" platform, and then entered the account password.
Soon, Yu Shao logged into the "Nineteen" online battle platform.
Strictly speaking, in addition to the original China-Japan-Korea team competition, he actually played chess with foreign players, and that was on the 19th platform.
However, the level of online chess opponents varies greatly. Although there are some players with quite good levels, most of them are amateur players.
"Let's play a game of online chess, just as a way to prepare for the World Championship."
Yu Shao pondered for a moment, slid the mouse, and prepared to match an opponent.
At this moment, Yu Shao suddenly noticed that there was an additional "Recommended spectator" option below the matching options.
"Is the platform updated?"
Yu Shao remembered that there was no such option on the 19th platform before. If you wanted to watch the game, you had to search for one party’s ID first, and then right-click the ID to enter and watch the game.
Yu Shao thought about it, slid the mouse, and lightly clicked on "Watching Recommendations".
Soon, a battle table popped up on the computer screen. Each column listed the IDs of the two players and the number of spectators.
dhusg (303 wins/24 losses) vs. aiken (701 wins/50 losses/1 draw) (Viewers: 97,921)
[su (921 wins/73 losses), vs. hahah (191 wins/0 losses)] (Number of spectators: 137,942)
Shiau (158 wins/1 loss) vs. Chen (201 wins/0 losses) (68,204 spectators)
…
Yu Shao glanced at the battle list and was about to return to the main page when he was suddenly stunned and his eyes focused on a familiar ID.
shiau!
