Chapter 437: Peak Showdown between Real Force and External Force
At this moment, Yu Shao picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly!
Fourteen columns and eight rows, dig!
"Take off the first dig? Open up another battlefield?"
Seeing this move, everyone was stunned. They had never expected Yu Shao to play in this position.
"If White accepts Black's sacrifice, he can just gobble it up. Both sides have complex offense and defense. If White wants to maintain this complexity, a pull is a natural move!"
"So, White got here first to dig?"
Everyone examined the chessboard and thought about it carefully, and finally gradually realized the cleverness of White's move, with shock appearing on their faces.
"Of course it's okay to swallow up the abandoned child!"
"But White has already given up a piece, so there's no rush to capture it. To gain the upper hand, White should just dig it out!"
"This is the most efficient move. However, even though Black sacrificed a piece, White didn't take it directly. This also means that Black might be able to recover in the future. This means that White will collapse!"
Black's decisive sacrifice of a piece was already stunning and extremely beautiful, but no one expected that White's response would be even more chilling!
"In pursuit of ultimate efficiency, White risked total destruction, yet also made the most drastic move. This move can only be described as... brutal!"
Thinking of the word "brutal", many people were slightly stunned, and remembered Zhuang Weisheng's comments on the shocking draw between Yu Shao and Su Yiming at the Gemini Cup. The figure of Yu Shao flashed through their minds!
What is cruel?
Brutal, extremely fierce, oppressive and merciless!
On the other side, the young man's expression changed slightly when he saw Yu Shao digging.
This digging move was completely beyond his expectations. The murderous intent surging in it made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression!
The young man gritted his teeth, stared at the chessboard, and frantically calculated the ever-changing situation in his mind.
This move is indeed brutal. It attacks the black pieces with an unparalleled posture. It is very difficult for the black pieces to respond.
"Next move, I'll fly. If he extends, I'll push. If he breaks, I'll press. I should be able to deal with White this way!"
"As long as we don't get crushed and survive this crisis, and then we can free up our hands and make sacrifices, then White will collapse!
Thinking of this, a fierce look appeared in the young man's eyes. He immediately took out the chess piece and made a move quickly!
clatter!
Fourteen columns and ten rows, fly!
Yu Shao also immediately placed his chess piece down quickly.
Thirteen columns and eight rows, long!
"It's really grown..."
The young man instantly picked up the chess piece and placed it next to the black piece.
"We can only retreat now. As long as we can survive White's first moves, then White will naturally collapse!"
clatter!
Ten columns and fourteen rows, pull!
"Did you pull it out?"
Seeing this move, everyone was slightly surprised.
The young man's move is the strongest in the local area. The white pieces extend out, and the black pieces jump. Even if it means losing points, they are willing to force the situation to be fixed, so that the life and death of the black pieces are safe!
Although this is a defensive move and seems to show weakness, facing the completely unreasonable digging by White before, as long as it is defended, it will be the strongest counterattack!
This defensive method is extremely vicious!
Yu Shao glanced at the chessboard and immediately placed the white chess piece without thinking!
clatter!
Eight columns and thirteen rows, awesome!
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and their hearts were filled with shock.
Black's pull has to come at the cost of losing points and forcing the move into shape, but White's hanging is so exquisite that it is astonishing. It actually uses the shape to force the move. If Black wants to lose points to shape the move, then White will just fly and directly form the shape!
If the white pieces really form a large shape in the middle of the board, even if the black pieces finally make room and revive the sacrificed pieces, it will still be in vain!
"He didn't break it, but chose to hang..."
The young man took a deep breath and placed the chess piece again.
clatter!
Fourteen columns and thirteen rows, in a row!
Seeing this, everyone's mouths suddenly became dry and their eyes were filled with shock.
"That's a brilliant move, too. Black's consecutive moves here not only conceal a potential backhand move to exploit White's potential, but also strengthen the opponent. It's a brilliant two-pronged strategy!"
At this time, the white piece fell again.
The moment the white piece fell, the black piece followed suit and fell again.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of pieces dropping, black and white pieces continued to land on the chessboard one after another.
Everyone around was completely stunned. They couldn't even describe their own mental activities at the moment. Apart from the various changes in the chess game, they couldn't even think about anything else!
Every move by both sides was well-planned, brilliant and colorful, with endless tricks. It was like watching a chess game composed of countless actual combat strategies. It was like a work of art, and it was endless, overflowing with the brilliance of genius!
"Every move of Black is excellent. No, not excellent... one could even say it's exquisite!"
Someone stared at the chessboard in shock, some stammering incoherently: "But, without us noticing, the situation has tilted towards White!"
Someone else, his face covered in fine beads of cold sweat, said, "The gap is too big. Even though I can understand White's moves now, I still don't know why White's advantage is getting bigger and bigger."
Everyone was staring at the chess game intently. The air was filled with a strong sense of tension and immense oppression. The fierce competition in the game filled the entire chess hall with a sense of tragic grandeur!
Soon, more than ten moves passed.
"I don't know why, but Black ultimately couldn't survive White's first move and was dragged into the quagmire of the struggle. That abandoned piece ultimately died..."
"In this case, I'm afraid Black—"
His words suddenly stopped!
Another black chess piece fell on the chessboard!
clatter!
Seven columns and fifteen rows, big jump!
"Big...big jump?!"
The eyelids of the person who spoke just now twitched slightly. This move was not difficult to understand. He understood the black piece's intention almost instantly.
"Black, use this big jump to build an outward position!"
Everyone around him instantly realized the young man's intention of this big jump. Looking back at the previous moves made by the black chess piece, each move seemed to have other deeper meanings!
"Black has long realized that the abandoned piece is doomed to destruction, so he secretly laid out a plan ahead of time and found a way out for himself!"
"The previous seven or eight moves seemed like ordinary responses, but when this big jump came out, those ordinary responses instantly echoed the big jump and were no longer ordinary!"
"Black has become an outside force. Although it is still at a disadvantage, it has the capital to compete with White again!"
Everyone was stunned.
They originally thought that the key to the outcome of this game would be whether the black pieces could withstand a series of first-move attacks from the white pieces, but they did not expect that the black pieces, through various previous means, had turned the board into a battle between external forces and actual territory!
“It really jumped.”
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and couldn't help but frowning slightly. He raised his head and looked deeply at the young man opposite him.
Although he had thought of this path before, he did not expect that the young man opposite could actually come out of it. The chess game that should have been decided had another twist.
He had never expected that the game in the chess hall would turn out like this. The young man's chess skills were completely beyond his expectations.
This is no longer an ordinary professional chess player.
Although Yu Shao still had no idea about the young man's identity, he knew that the young man opposite him was definitely one of the few players standing at the top of the Go world!
Yu Shao calmed himself down, his expression became much more serious, and after thinking for a moment, he finally took out the chess piece and put it down again.
clatter!
Nineteen columns and seven rows, stick!
“It’s stuck.”
When the young man saw this move, he bit his lower lip and his eyes became serious.
White's sticking is the smoothest change, waiting for an opportunity to move and testing the black's response. Although he has formed an external force, he actually has no idea how to make the next move.
If possible, he would rather wait and see the movements of the white chess pieces before making a decision. However, this probing move by the white chess pieces forced him to make a statement immediately.
"So……"
After a moment, the young man's eyes focused and he finally took out the chess piece again.
Having come this far, as the person in charge, he actually already knew who was sitting opposite him!
Although the girl had played chess with Yu Shao before, she couldn't identify her opponent just by looking at the game, because she didn't have enough understanding of each move. But he was different!
His eyes were sharp, even a little fierce, and he made his move quickly!
"bring it on!"
clatter!
Five columns and eight rows, fight!
On the other side, seeing the black chess piece fall, Yu Shao also picked up the chess piece with the sound of chess pieces colliding and dropped it at a high speed!
The moment Yu Shao made his move, the young man also reached into the chess box, picked up the black piece, and placed it on the chessboard!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
The sound of chess pieces being dropped continued to echo in the chess hall for a long time.
The expressions of both of them were extremely focused, as if they had forgotten everything around them. Their eyes only focused on the chess game in front of them. They were detached from the mundane world, immersed in the game of attack and kill!
Everyone stared at the chessboard, not daring to blink, not daring to breathe, and holding their breath.
They watched the chess pieces falling one after another on the chessboard, witnessing this fierce battle accompanied only by the sound of the pieces falling, which was like a roar that shook the earth!
Black chess pieces sacrifice to gain outer territory, while white chess pieces swallow up the real territory, just like the yin and yang in Go, entangled with each other and competing for supremacy!
"White's pressure was brilliant, retreating to advance, threatening Black's dragon from a distance. But Black immediately responded, not clinging to external forces, and through transformation, trying to invade and eliminate White's territory."
"But White didn't just sit there and watch. He immediately pushed forward to try to draw the attack. It was another terrifying move. I couldn't think of how to respond. Black's answer was a sharp move."
"This sharp move seized the fleeting opportunity, saw through the remaining intentions of the white chess piece, and directly bit the white chess piece. The white chess piece had to be wary of the black chess piece's counterattack!"
Everyone around stared blankly at the chess game, thinking about every move from the beginning to now, feeling shocked and bewildered...
Because both the black and white pieces were far beyond their imagination. Such a game of chess should not appear here, and they should not be the ones to witness it on the spot.
They even felt ashamed of themselves, wondering how they could deserve to be able to witness every move of chess with their own eyes.
clatter!
The crisp sound of chess pieces dropping echoed in the chess hall, and a white piece fell on the chessboard again!
Three columns and seven rows, stab!
"Stab?"
Seeing this move, everyone present couldn't help but tremble slightly and their pupils shrank slightly.
Not only them, but even the young man's expression changed drastically after this move.
The young man thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and finally reaching into the chess box again.
Although he had always been curious about Yu Shao and wanted to play against him, it was not until he sat opposite Yu Shao that he finally felt the heavy pressure coming from the other end of the chessboard!
“Click.”
With the sound of chess pieces colliding, the young man took out the black chess piece from the chess box and dropped it quickly!
Five columns and seven rows, pull!
At this moment, the young man's eyes were like those of a tiger or wolf, slightly fierce, as if he was in a desperate situation and his ferocity was completely aroused!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, thought for a moment, and immediately picked up the chess piece and put it down quickly.
The two sides continued to make moves and soon started fighting on the left wing of the chessboard. This battle between external forces and actual forces had intensified, making everyone around them break out in cold sweats.
Watching the chess pieces fall one after another, their mouths became dry.
"White's stab was extremely cold and brutal, using Black's breakpoint to kill. Black's pull seemed quite forced to counterattack. However, after White's lead, Black's pull turned out to be in a perfect position!"
“However, White’s next move, the Tiger, felt like four arrows piercing the heart!
Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for the young man. The solid ground of the white chess pieces at the four corners almost simultaneously spread to the middle. If this trend continued, the young man's external power would probably be completely destroyed!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
After a few more moves, suddenly, the young man stared at the chessboard, gritted his teeth, and with a slight click, he picked up the black piece from the chess box with his right hand.
The next moment, his eyes were fierce, and he pinched the black piece between his right fingers, drawing a black light and falling rapidly on the chessboard!
clatter!
Fifteen columns and six rows, turn!
"Abducted? At this time?"
Everyone was shocked, and some even cried out, "Black, turn around and attack White's territory at this time?"
Everyone stared at the chessboard, unable to understand for a moment why the black pieces suddenly launched an attack. It was obvious that the black pieces' outer position was already in danger, but they still wanted to attack the white pieces' rock-solid ground!
But soon, after carefully examining the board and deducing the situation, many people couldn't help but look shocked.
"Tesuji!"
"this--"
"This tesuji!"
"Black is going to make a big switch! Here, Black can actually make a big switch of up to sixty or seventy points with White's territory!"
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open!
This suture is so wonderful that it cannot be described in words, it can only be understood!
Originally, Black's outer position was already in jeopardy, but if White continued to invade and eliminate it, then Black could form a huge transformation, which is absolutely unacceptable to White!
"In this way, Black's external power still has potential!"
"They're holding on tight, refusing to let go! Facing the tidal wave of attacks from all four corners of the White chess, the Black chess's external force is remarkably undeterred and unshaken!"
Everyone's heart was in turmoil and they couldn't calm down at all!
"Tiger..."
Even Yu Shao's expression changed again when he saw the young man's move, and he frowned tightly.
Even he had not expected this move, it was beyond his expectations.
Yu Shao couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at the young man opposite him again. After thinking for a while, he finally picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The two sides continued to place their pieces, and the sound of pieces dropping came one after another. The people around listened to the frequent sounds and just stared at the game in a daze.
Both the black and white players moved with brilliance, and almost every move was something they could never have imagined in their dreams. They could only look up at these brilliant moves and endless tricks.
Each move is so brilliant, yet at the same time, it feels out of reach, and one even fears from the bottom of one's heart this brilliant light of genius.
"This is... the pinnacle showdown between the real forces and the external forces..."
Someone, bewildered, suddenly spoke softly, mumbling, "It was born... in a small chess parlor."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt that it was a bit absurd. After all, there were countless chess games that used real territory to confront external forces, and countless famous players had engaged in fierce battles in this way.
The peak showdown between real and external forces should not have taken place in a small chess hall on the street, but should have taken place in the Phoenix Cup, on the stage where the strongest chess players compete, under the attention of the whole world.
However, when they saw this game of chess, no one objected for a moment. Everyone was silent, just staring quietly at the crisscrossing chessboard and the two-colored chess pieces!
There was only silence.
