Chapter 453: There used to be many people called geniuses
Kong Zi was not surprised to see An Hongshi's move. It was obviously within his expectations. After a little thought, he quickly picked up the chess piece and dropped it quickly.
clatter!
Eight columns and twelve rows, sharp!
An Hongshi stared at the chessboard, quickly picked up the chess piece and put it down, responding.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The two sides began to make moves alternately.
Kong Zi implemented the idea of operating in the middle of the board, squeezing out the living space of the black pieces, and then starting to plunder.
Faced with the relentless pressure from the white pieces, the black pieces can only keep retreating, compromising, dealing with their own weak shapes, and trying to escape and eliminate the isolated pieces.
Not long after, An Hongshi picked up the chess piece again and put it down gently.
Six columns and nine rows, big fly!
Seeing this move, Kong Zi, who was about to make a move, was stunned. His original train of thought was suddenly interrupted. This move was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Instead of making up for the chess, you're flying high and trying to force your way out of the encirclement?"
After a brief calculation of the changes, Kong Zi quickly reacted, and immediately took the chess piece out of the chess box and placed it on the chessboard.
clatter!
Nine columns and thirteen rows, jump!
Faced with the black chess piece's big flying move that was trying to force its way out, Kong Zi remained calm and restrained, because the focus of the white chess piece's development was in the center. He did not pursue the black chess piece relentlessly, but turned a blind eye and continued to seize the main field!
An Hongshi seemed to have expected this, and immediately took out a chess piece from the chess box, following the white chess piece, and took out the black chess piece and dropped it.
Two columns and fourteen rows, stick!
Both sides continued to make moves, and the people around were closely watching the chessboard. Seeing that even though Kong Zi had the advantage, he was still playing chess calmly and accurately, while secretly cheering for Kong Zi, they couldn't help but worry about An Hongshi's black chess pieces.
clatter!
Not long after, Kong Zi picked out the white chess piece and placed it down again!
Three columns and twelve rows, support!
An Hongshi looked at the chessboard with a calm gaze, reached into the chess box again, and took out the chess piece.
clatter!
The chess piece fell gently.
Seventeen columns and eight rows, dig!
Seeing this move, everyone was stunned.
“They actually… dug it?!”
Then, the crowd that had been silent just a moment ago suddenly burst into an uproar.
The previous big flying move had already seemed to have some problems and seemed to be slow, but this digging move made them feel even more incredible!
The white pieces are gaining strength outside the center, and the black pieces want to fight back, whether by invading or shallowly eliminating, they must use all means to thin out the black pieces. However, at this time, the white pieces instead try to fill the already thick solid space!
Indeed, if the breakpoints are completely filled and the path of White's advance is cut off, Black's empty space will be invulnerable and can also be surrounded to a certain number of points.
However, this move can ultimately encircle only a few points, and after the white pieces are established in the center, the number of points they can capture in the surrounding areas is far more than this!
"It seems that not having a competition for two years has had a significant impact on Mr. An Hongshi..."
"There's nothing wrong with this move from a chess perspective, but it's a bit too short-sighted. With Mr. An Hongshi's previous level, he wouldn't have been able to play this kind of chess."
"It seems that Master Kong Zi has put a lot of pressure on Teacher An Hongshi. He was too eager to fight back, and ended up making a stupid move..."
People around were talking about it, and everyone had complicated feelings.
Because the Phoenix Cup is held in China, most of the players present are Chinese chess players. They naturally hope that Kong Zi will win, but when they see An Hongshi being pushed to this extent, they actually don't want to see it.
Kimura Go, who was originally watching the chess game between Jiang Hanen and Hans, came to the chess table at some point. He stood in the crowd and frowned deeply when he saw this.
Kong Zi obviously didn't expect An Hongshi to do this and was stunned for a moment.
After a long time, Kong Zi looked up at An Hongshi opposite him, then took a deep breath, and finally picked up the chess piece and put it down again!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
On the chessboard, chess pieces fell, and the sound of them landing continued to echo in everyone's ears.
"wrong!"
After watching a few more moves, Kimura Go was suddenly stunned for a moment, then seemed to finally realize something, his expression suddenly became extremely moving!
"It looked like the white pieces in the center not only had a good shape but also had the upper hand, while the black pieces were all in the lower hand. However, after a change in the order of moves, the black pieces, in the lower hand, now had the upper hand!"
"It's not a big problem, but the black pieces' space is too solid. White can only break it first. If the black pieces then attack, the order of moves will change!"
"The exchange of the cut and the tip seems to have little impact on the situation. It's just a move that's made in advance. But the result is that White's block has no effect as it should!"
Kimura Go stared at the chessboard in disbelief and subconsciously took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart!
"If White's blocking isn't effective, it won't be so thick. Then Black will naturally stop attacking and push forward. White will have no choice but to pull back. With this ripple effect, Black will be able to create a flourish in the center!"
"This guy An Hongshi..."
Kimura Go raised his head and looked at An Hongshi in disbelief.
This old rival, whom he thought he knew very well, now became extremely unfamiliar in his eyes!
At this time, after Kimurago realized the problem, Kong Zi also noticed the subtlety of the board almost at the same time, and his expression suddenly changed drastically!
"It can't get any sharper!"
"Now that things have come to this, we can only make the best of it. We must step out and destroy the white chess piece in the air!"
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Kong Zi's face. He gritted his teeth, picked up the chess piece, and placed it right next to the white piece.
"Otherwise, I will die!"
clatter!
The chess piece falls on the board!
Fifteen columns and seven rows, jump!
"Jumped out?"
Seeing this move, everyone around was puzzled and looked stunned.
"Why, here, whether using the tip or the tiger, it's good to continue to thicken the pattern. Isn't this slower than the black pieces?"
If Black is slow to make up for the pieces, then White can also make up for the pieces and wait and see how things develop. Jumping out at this moment, trying to expand as quickly as possible, may seem like the pieces are moving faster, but in fact, it is too hasty, and has lost its edge, and ended up falling behind!
Two consecutive moves by An Hongshi and even Kong Zi were completely beyond their expectations. Now they began to realize that something was wrong.
Many people frowned tightly, looked at the chessboard again, began to re-examine the game, and kept deducing it in their minds.
After a while, some people finally realized the problem and got goosebumps all over their bodies.
"I……"
Some people looked at the chessboard in shock, swallowed hard, and felt a little dry in the mouth.
"Oh My God……"
Soon after, more and more people finally noticed the strangeness of the chessboard, and they were all stunned, staring at it blankly!
The order of moves:
Something has changed!
"It seems like just a very insignificant change in the order of moves. In most cases, it wouldn't have much impact on the overall game, but this game is different!"
"Because White cut off the move first, Black's piece reached the rear. Since the rear was in the middle, White's subsequent blocking made it less solid. The thinness of Black's pieces even gave way to a subtle thickening effect!"
"If we continue like this, then the white chess piece will inevitably allow the black chess piece to bloom in the middle of the abdomen!"
Thirty eyes of flowers plucked from the abdomen!
After plucking the flowers from the middle of the belly, although there are not many grapes, they are extremely valuable. The appearance of plucking the flowers is majestic and has a profound impact on the whole dish, so there is a saying that plucking the flowers from the middle of the belly is thirty points!
This is a chess principle that everyone knows very well. It is also because of this that when Yu Shaogang and Su Yiming pulled out the flower in the middle of the board in the Yingjiao Cup, it was so shocking and astonishing!
But that game is that game, and this game is this game!
In this game, White is almost risking his life on the middle board. If Black's isolated piece in the middle board is not only not killed, but blooms, it will be absolutely unacceptable for White!
When the fog cleared and they finally saw the road ahead clearly and witnessed the truth of the road ahead, the shock and impact it brought to them was unparalleled!
Only Yu Shao and Araki Ye did not seem surprised when they saw the current situation. They still stared at the chessboard, waiting for subsequent changes!
An Hongshi!
Everyone couldn't help but think again, what was the name of this chess player with black pieces!
Over the years, countless chess players have emerged, some have risen and some have fallen, but there is one person who always stands at the top of Go, waiting for challengers.
There is never a shortage of geniuses in the world of professional Go.
They have seen many geniuses, but these days, they will eventually fall in front of real geniuses. But in the end, these real geniuses will fall in front of An Hongshi one by one!
There has been no exception in the past twenty years!
In just two years, why did they have the illusion that Kong Zi could really crush An Hongshi?
"Did you notice?"
Seeing that the white chess piece chose to jump instead of point, it was obvious that it finally realized what was about to happen. An Hongshi was a little surprised, but not too surprised. After thinking for two seconds, he clamped out the chess piece and dropped it again.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
The sound of chess pieces began to ring again!
The surroundings fell silent again. Everyone looked at the game in shock and subconsciously held their breath.
On the other side, more and more chess players also finished their games. Although the game between Jiang Hanen and Hans was also worth watching, the vast majority of chess players came to An Hongshi's table and cast their eyes on the chess game!
"Master Kong Zi played these moves beautifully, but Black also responded with his strongest local countermeasure, cutting off the opponent's pieces. This not only limited the expansion of White's pattern, but also surrounded and hunted down the remaining Black pieces in the corners."
Yu Shao stared at the chessboard, not even blinking, his mind rapidly calculating the subsequent changes.
"If White responds with a small flying piece in this move, which is the most tenacious one, threatening to capture the piece and bite back at Black, then it will be difficult for Black to restrict White's appearance."
At this time, Kong Zi clenched his teeth and fell into deep thought again.
After a moment, Kong Zi seemed to have finally figured out the changes. A hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes, and he finally reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and quickly dropped it onto the chessboard!
Twelve columns and ten rows, Xiaofei!
Seeing this move, the crowd couldn't help but get agitated again.
"Xiao Fei?"
Zhao Zhengyang, the chief referee, had unexpectedly joined the crowd at some point, and was a little puzzled when he saw this move.
But Zhao Zhengyang was once a world champion after all. Even though he had retired long ago, his knowledge and understanding were still there, so he reacted quickly.
"I see, what a brilliant move!"
"The piece that the black piece originally intended to destroy the white piece actually serves as an inducement. The black piece has an advantage in conquering the white piece, and can even use a ko to kill the white piece!"
"In such a situation, he remained so calm and found a new way out. He's a genius, worthy of being Kong Zi! This kid's chess skills have improved again!"
Zhao Zhengyang looked up at An Hongshi and took a deep breath.
"Our players are also catching up and getting stronger. Even for An Hongshi, it will definitely not be that easy to win!"
However, in the crowd, when Yu Shao saw that Kong Zi really made Xiao Fei's strongest response, there was still no joy on his face.
"Xiao Fei is indeed the most tenacious, but Black also has clever moves. He pounces into the tiger's mouth, forces White to hold his breath, and then sticks to put pressure on White."
"However, compared to pouncing..."
Yu Shao stared at a position on the chessboard. The whole game was reflected in his eyes. He had already seen that in addition to the pounce, there was a stronger and more powerful move hidden on the board!
This move is extremely hidden and beyond imagination, but if it can be performed, it can even cut off all of White's retreat routes!
"If we don't give White any chance to breathe and end the battle directly, then it's probably better to—"
At this moment, An Hongshi also reached into the chess box and took out the chess piece!
Next moment!
The chess piece falls on the board!
clatter!
Twelve columns and eleven rows, flying pressure!
"Twelve columns and eleven rows, flying pressure!"
The place where Yu Shao focused his gaze and the place where An Hongshi placed the chess piece instantly overlapped!
The whole audience was silent!
When everyone saw this move, without exception, they all stood there in a daze, even Su Yiming was no exception!
But soon, Su Yiming reacted, his expression suddenly changed, he raised his head and looked at An Hongshi!
“…”
Kong Zi stared blankly at the chessboard. His hand had already reached into the chess box, but he was hesitant to take out the chess piece.
Fei Ya's position was beyond everyone's imagination, including his, because the black pieces had real space and it was always more advantageous to fight with the white pieces on the edge, but Fei Ya went straight to the middle.
Most people, no, almost everyone, wouldn't even think about this. Moreover, after this move, the black chess piece that could have been used to win the flower was turned into a fool...
"If I do the same thing and turn around to capture the piece, the situation will be different. White's next attack will not be able to kill Black. Black can counterattack and capture the piece, and then take advantage of my previous attack."
"If we bend, Black still has a backup plan, either capturing the gate or charging. White has a strategy of sticking to the main points, and simultaneously guarding the key points on both sides of the main point. Even if I take the initiative to attack, it will be a spent force, and White can just sacrifice a piece..."
Kong Zi looked at the chessboard, a little dazed.
"My escape route was completely cut off by a single move..."
The whole audience was silent.
In the crowd, Zhao Zhengyang silently withdrew his gaze from the chessboard.
"An Hongshi, or An Hongshi..."
Zhao Zhengyang thought silently in his heart.
"Fortunately, before he became a professional chess player, I won several world championships and retired successfully..."
