Chapter 438: Leading Him In
The chess pieces were still being played alternately on the board, and every sound was shocking.
White chess always holds the advantage, advancing towards the center with four corners, but the tenacity of black chess is also astonishing. Although the situation is precarious, there is always a chance of turning the tide!
In other words, even in a desperate situation, the black chess pieces always kept the gap close, and held on tightly to the opportunity of a comeback under the attack of thousands of arrows!
Watching each move made by both sides, the people around them suddenly felt no emotions in their hearts, as if all distracting thoughts had suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and they were no longer concerned about the outcome of this game.
They just admired, admiring every move of both sides that was far beyond their reach.
It's like a mortal standing on a mountain top, witnessing the twilight of the gods.
Apart from feeling one's own insignificance and powerlessness, all that remains is a strange calmness in accepting everything that comes one way or another.
"Senior Brother Sato..."
Even the girl standing behind the young man was stunned, staring blankly at the chess game. Even she could only appreciate it and could not give any comments.
Because every move made by both sides is far better than hers. Even if she has some insights into the game, she will only find out in the end that her insights are wrong. So how can she comment on it?
What is the final outcome of this game of chess?
No one can give an answer.
No matter how big the advantage of white chess is, no matter how big the disadvantage of black chess is, before the end of the game, no one dares to say that white chess or black chess will definitely win in the end.
"The black chess piece in the upper right corner has been forced to death."
The young man stared at the chessboard. Even though the situation was not optimistic at the moment, he remained calm.
It can even be said that in this desperate situation, he is calmer than ever before, calmer than ever before, which is even contrary to human instinct!
"But, on the left side, I can still take the initiative and make some moves..."
Before the young man's eyes, Yu Shao's past chess games appeared one after another like a kaleidoscope.
His expression became more and more solemn.
"It can't be wrong."
"He is definitely that person!"
Before, the young man could not be 100% sure about this guess, but after coming here, he can be completely sure!
"If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but if it was him, who is famous for his attacks and killings..."
The young man couldn't help but clench his right fist quietly. Thinking about what he was going to do next, even he himself felt that it was a nearly impossible thing to do!
However, there was no trace of fear in the young man's eyes. Instead, there was a fierceness and decisiveness in his eyes, as if he was heading towards a dangerous place even though he knew there was a tiger there!
"Of course I know how difficult it is to attack the White chess piece's solid territory on the left!"
"However, in a normal chess game, there is absolutely no way to turn defeat into victory."
"A single mistake will lead to annihilation. There's no room for slowness. Once you've taken the initiative, you must use your fiercest fangs to hold White's opponent's throat tightly!"
"The white one is a fierce tiger."
"And Heizi is a lone wolf."
“No slackness is allowed.”
"The advantage of a lone wolf is that they have no way to retreat, so they naturally have nothing to worry about. If they can't defeat their opponent, they will be doomed."
"Therefore, the lone wolf can bite without regard for its life, not afraid of its appearance, not afraid of its shape, and not worried about the breaking point. With the posture of a tiger, at the fastest speed, and with the sharpest claws, it can bite the white tiger's throat off!"
"We can't give White Tiger any chance to react, and we can't give White any chance to breathe!"
"With the force of thunder!"
The young man finally reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and quickly placed it on the board!
"In this game of chess, either you die or I die!"
Yu Shao glanced at the chessboard, then immediately picked up the chess piece and placed it on the board.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Chess pieces continued to fall onto the board, spreading out like a spider web.
"Black has gained one of the few first moves at the cost of the dragon's vulnerability. This is the final push!"
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Under this situation, Black was surrounded on all sides. Under the siege of White from all sides, it would have been a miracle for Black to survive. However, Black somehow found a way to counterattack and escape."
"But can it be done? Can Black really turn the tables?"
"I don't know... If it were anyone else, I would say it's impossible, but these two are both chess players who can create miracles. I can only say, I don't know..."
Watching this chess game, the whole audience was silent, but everyone's heart was unsettled.
Soon, Yu Shao picked out another white chess piece and placed it close to the black chess piece.
clatter.
Four columns and thirteen rows, pull!
"Although White holds the advantage,... White still refuses to back down and responds to Black with the most forceful attitude. This puts both sides in a difficult position!"
Everyone could feel the heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the air. It was clearly just a trivial contest in the chess hall, but everyone held their breath!
The white chess piece refused to give in and made no compromise. It held on to the black chess piece forcefully and used its strongest killing method on the black chess piece, hoping to directly fight the black chess piece to decide the outcome and decide who is the winner!
This is the final battle!
"Bang, what a shocking, yet unsurprising response!"
Seeing this white chess piece, the young man's expression turned cold, and he felt a sense of crisis like a thorn in his side!
The young man looked at a point on the chessboard.
"Do you want to do that?"
"Is that Black's only way to survive? Or is it just like the first game you played against me in the Gemini Cup?"
"Is that the cliff that awaits me, where I will die without a burial place?"
"How long can I hold on?"
After a long time, the young man finally placed his chess piece!
"But I don't have any way out anymore!"
Amidst everyone's astonishment, the chess piece finally fell!
Two columns and seven rows, tiger!
The eyes of the people around narrowed slightly, and many of them leaned forward half an inch uncontrollably!
"White. White"
"I gave up a few white pieces in the upper left corner and bet my entire fortune on the sidelines!"
"The white piece in the upper left corner is clearly holding the black piece in the upper left corner in check!"
"Why, why did you just give it up?"
"Gold corner, silver edge, grass belly. Although the white piece in the upper left is indeed difficult to destroy, it should at least leave itself a retreat route. Is Black confident that it can make up the gap on the sidelines in the next battle?"
The whole audience was silent.
Everyone looked at the chessboard in shock.
"Those few seeds in the upper left corner are indeed difficult to destroy or penetrate, but there's absolutely no reason to just ignore them..."
"There was clearly a glimmer of hope, why, why did he throw it away?"
When Yu Shao saw the young man's move, he quickly took out the white piece from the chess box and dropped it down at a high speed.
One column and fourteen rows, long!
Next moment!
Black chess piece, two columns and fourteen rows, press!
The young man raised his eyes and looked at Yu Shao opposite him with a serious look.
"I must fight to the death with the white pieces. If a strong attack isn't an option, then I'll lure the white pieces into the game. When the white pieces are ready to fight to the death, that's when my black pieces' chances of survival will be revealed!"
Soon, seeing Yu Shao place his chess piece again, the young man also followed suit and placed his black chess piece in a hurry.
Twelve rows and seventeen columns, damn!
"We must use the black pieces in the upper right corner as bait, exposing their flaws and luring the white pieces into an active attack!"
"Only after attacking will White reveal its weakness!"
"Otherwise, I will die."
There was complete silence all around, and inside the chess hall, only the sound of chess pieces being dropped could be heard!
Black chess, five columns and twelve rows, jump!
"Twelve columns and five elements?"
Everyone looked at the chessboard in shock. Although they did not understand the meaning, they did not think that the young man had made a mistake. Instead, they felt that their level was too poor and that was why they could not understand it at all.
This is indeed the case.
Soon, when Yu Shao placed the chess piece again, the young man resolutely picked up the chess piece again and placed it down as fast as flying!
The whole audience was in an uproar.
"Pounce? You've given away the piece. If the white piece is like this, it must be eaten!"
After seeing this move, everyone finally understood the young man’s previous move!
"Black wants to force White to capture this piece, thereby tightening its belt and attacking White. Brilliant!"
"It seems that White has no other choice but to remove this Black piece!"
Yu Shao glanced at the chessboard and frowned slightly, but he still picked up the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, then took out the black chess piece that was in the tiger's mouth and put it in the chess box.
The young man picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly.
clatter!
Seven columns and ten rows, charge!
Seeing the black chess piece fall, Yu Shao also placed the white chess piece.
The two sides quickly made more than a dozen moves in a row, and the black pieces showed their determination to fight for their lives in every move. However, no matter how strong the black pieces were, the white pieces remained motionless.
And gradually, because of the strong attack of the black chess pieces, the outer forces of the black chess pieces seemed to be showing signs of being fragmented!
"It seems...it still doesn't work."
Someone stared at the chessboard in a daze. Although the black chess pieces had already shown signs of defeat, he felt awe for the loser in his heart.
During the chess game, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and couldn't help frowning.
"Black's chess formation is full of gaps and weaknesses... Although it took a lot of effort to strengthen it, if we force it, we should be able to take it down with some effort."
"But, if you think about it more deeply, there seems to be hidden risks in rushing in."
"Is it an illusion, or..."
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Shao placed the chess piece again.
The young man responded immediately.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
Soon, another five or six moves were made, and looking at the board at this time, everyone around couldn't help but frown slightly.
"White has been sitting still, not launching any killing moves against Black, and has completely ignored Black's subtle moves..."
At this point in the game, there are too many questions that bother them. They have even become accustomed to them. Many questions have been answered, but there are still many questions that still bother them even now.
The young man's expression gradually became uglier and uglier, and beads of sweat the size of beans slowly flowed down his face.
"Although I had anticipated the best, he didn't act the way I expected."
"If White doesn't enter the game soon, I won't have a chance..."
The young man looked down at the chessboard. After a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind. He reached into the chess box again and slowly took out the chess piece.
"It seems that this is the only chance!"
The next moment, the chess piece fell on the board!
Eight columns and seven rows, awesome!
As soon as one piece was moved, the whole place fell silent!
Because of this move, time seemed to be frozen for two or three seconds!
Two seconds later, the crowd suddenly became agitated!
“This…this…this…”
"Hang?"
"Black, actually want to attack from above? Isn't this tantamount to committing suicide?"
"On the left sideline, the black pieces are already risking their lives. If a fight breaks out between the two, and the white pieces eventually connect, the black pieces won't be able to fight back!"
Now, even they had to doubt whether the young man had made a mistake, rather than doubting whether their own judgment was wrong!
The young man gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead!
He moved his gaze away from the chessboard and looked up at Yu Shao opposite him, with a fierce look in his eyes!
"Come on, hit me in the midsection!"
"This is what you must do. If you don't break in, and Black connects first, White's upper right corner might be in danger!"
"So, there's nothing to hesitate about."
"But before that, you must capture my black piece, so that the white piece can move into my center without any worries!"
Faced with Heizi's move, which could almost be called a provocative move, Yu Shao was silent for a moment.
After a moment, Yu Shao let out a light breath, finally picked up the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard!
Seven columns and two rows, lift!
"It's gone!"
Seeing this move, the young man was stunned at first, then his eyes suddenly lit up, like a sharp sword, and he immediately took the chess piece out of the chess box and dropped it quickly!
When Yu Shao saw the young man make his move, he also took out a chess piece from the chess box and made his move right after him.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Both sides made moves quickly again.
Everyone around was looking at the chessboard, watching both sides make their moves. Suddenly, someone was startled for a moment, and then his expression subtly changed.
Soon after, one, two, three, more and more people discovered the strangeness hidden in the disk.
"how so?"
Someone's face was covered in sweat, staring at the chessboard in confusion and shock: "White's real territory..."
“It’s getting thinner!”
At this moment, looking back at every move of the white chess pieces before, someone finally seemed to notice something and couldn't help swallowing hard.
"I originally thought that Black's sacrifice was an attempt to seize the initiative and forcefully attack White's sideline, but perhaps that's not the case. Black appears to be attempting to forcefully attack White, but that's too difficult..."
He said with some shock, "So, Black has found a new strategy. Those offensive tactics are actually just a cover-up. Black's whole plan is to lure White into attacking and draw White into the game!"
"For this, Black even sacrificed the crucial shoe in the upper left corner!"
"As long as White attacks, the ground will become thinner. As long as White's ground becomes thinner, it will reveal a flaw!"
"Then Black's external power can come into play!"
At this moment, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, picked up the chess piece again, and slowly dropped it!
clatter!
The crisp sound of the chess pieces falling echoed in everyone's ears!
On the chessboard——
Thirteen columns and nine rows, broken!
