Chapter 467: World Outrage
(P.S. Sorry, there was a chess record in the previous chapter, but to match the plot, I made some changes to two of the moves in the middle. The best position recommended by the AI was the long move. As a result, when I was writing it later, I forgot to change it back. I just checked it for a long time and found it. I am so happy. I have already changed it.)
Of course, despite this, this long move, after all, is not much better than blocking in terms of the effects and functions that can be shown, and it is not difficult for White to respond. The only difficulty is that White can think of using this long move here!
Therefore, Arakino didn't think about it for too long, and quickly took out the chess piece and made his move!
clatter!
Eighteen columns and thirteen rows, tiger!
"Even though Black was coming in strong, he still counterattacked and forced Black to make his pieces alive... This was a powerful move."
Yu Shao looked thoughtfully at the white piece that had just been placed on the board. Through this move, he also felt Araki's tough attitude and his determination to show no weakness.
From the perspective of chess shape, what Black wants most is to attack, attack the White pieces' tendons, force the White pieces to stick to them, and then Black will directly break through the White pieces and fight to the death with the White pieces.
In this way, the white pieces below are in danger of survival due to the long blockade, and the white pieces above are completely cut off. If they start fighting, the white pieces will be in a difficult situation.
After the white chess piece makes this tiger move, if the black chess piece attacks again, the white chess piece will stick to it, the black chess piece will break through, and the white chess piece will pull back again. This will not be enough to kill the black chess piece.
"However, there's no need for Black to dwell on the upper pieces. Just a slight shift, turning to the lower part and attacking the isolated piece below is also quite good."
Yu Shao quickly figured out how to respond to the current situation.
Su Yiming obviously realized this as well. With a click, he took out the chess piece from the chess box and placed it down quickly!
clatter!
Eighteen columns and seven rows, sharp!
"Great hand!"
Yu Shao's eyes flickered.
This move seems to be purely to fill in the gaps, and seems to go in the opposite direction of attacking the white pieces below, but in fact it is a preparation for attacking the bottom. A chess proverb says that those who fill in the gaps when the enemy has nothing to do are intending to invade and destroy the enemy, and this is it!
Because the black pieces above also have weaknesses, after this reinforcement, how to attack the white pieces next is up to the black pieces. If the black pieces are not reinforced and the white pieces are attacked directly, it may seem that the attack is fierce, but in fact it is the courage of a reckless man!
This move is indeed a move to fill in the gaps, but it also contains the means to invade the white space in the upper right corner, and to prepare for the subsequent attack below. The strategy of sending food and supplies before troops move forward is actually the strongest local attacker!
Araki frowned slightly, and quickly took out the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard!
clatter!
Eighteen columns and six rows, block!
Perhaps White also saw that Black was going to turn around and attack the White piece below, but Black's tip was a truly brilliant move.
If the white chess piece goes to fill the gap below, the empty corner above will be penetrated. If it blocks the top, the black chess piece will inevitably turn around. It is difficult to take both into account, so the only option is to block the top first and observe the movements of the black chess piece.
Sure enough, the next second——
clatter!
Eighteen columns and fifteen rows, sharp!
The black chess piece took advantage of the situation to turn around and move to the bottom, cutting off the retreat route of the white chess piece below again, and showing a covetous attitude towards the white chess piece below!
Arakino quickly picked up the chess piece again and placed it on the chessboard!
clatter!
Sixteen columns and sixteen rows, damn!
Su Yiming also quickly picked up the chess piece and put it down.
Nineteen columns and twelve rows, stand up!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
A fierce battle that had been brewing for a long time finally broke out at this moment, and the sound of chess pieces falling began to ring out continuously.
"After Black's move, there were no flaws in the chessboard anymore, and White took advantage of the situation to fill the gap."
"Black's move was very aggressive, and White should have no problem responding. However, if Black plays a sharp move in the next move, it will threaten both White pieces at the same time."
Yu Shao looked at the chess game in front of him, and his mind kept following the situation of the game, calculating the subsequent changes.
…
White chess piece, eleven columns and ten rows, jump!
Black chess, twelve columns and fifteen rows, Xiao Fei!
"White first used a jump to force the white pieces above to escape, but Black's small flying move directly blocked all the white pieces below. I wonder how he will respond to this move?"
Seeing this, Yu Shao finally took his eyes off the chessboard and glanced at Araki.
This part is different from the previous ones. It can be said to be quite difficult to deal with and is a great test for White.
If the white chess piece tries to kill the isolated chess piece, it will be visibly difficult and may not be able to escape. If the white chess piece tries to kill the black chess piece's big dragon and compete with the black chess piece in speed, the white chess piece will not have enough energy.
Seeing Arakino looking at the chessboard intently and lost in thought, he quickly looked away and waited for Arakino to respond.
Finally, after a few minutes, Arakino reached into the chess box again, took out a chess piece, and slowly put it down under the gaze of everyone.
clatter!
Seventeen columns and seventeen rows, break!
"Broken?"
Seeing this move, Yu Shao was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This move is quite cold and extremely tricky. At first glance, all the white pieces below are destroyed, but if you calculate carefully, this move can actually make the bottom part alive by sacrificing pieces!
He didn't even expect that there was such a skilled player under the circumstances.
His original idea was to abandon the pieces below, take the lead and make a large flying piece in the middle, seize the large field, and at the same time eliminate the external forces of the black pieces in the middle.
In this way, the entire chess game will instantly become turbulent and full of murderous intentions. Although the black pieces are magnificent in the middle and outside of the abdomen, but -
With this huge flying move, combined with the surrounding pieces, White will be able to surround half of the empty space on the middle of the board in an astonishing manner!
Yes, one move leaves half of the board empty!
This huge empty space in the white chessboard is indeed extremely hollow due to insufficient pieces, but combined with the empty space on the edges and solid ground, if the white chessboard is confident in its computing power, it is enough to start a suspenseful battle with the black chessboard!
Of course, this way of playing is too amazing, and it is probably completely unimaginable with human imagination. It is the most typical AI chess. He was able to think of playing this way because he had played too many games with AI in his previous life and was greatly influenced by it.
Therefore, Yu Shao did not think that Araki could really perform this huge flying move. That was already a move from the sky, which was definitely beyond human ability.
That's why he was curious about how Arakino would respond to the situation just now.
As a result, Arakino failed to make the big flying move that would have thrown the piece in a high position, but he made a move that he had never expected. He actually made the lower right corner alive by sacrificing a piece!
"Broken?"
At this moment, the crowd around saw this move and couldn't help but frown, a little puzzled.
If we play like this, won’t the white chess piece at the bottom eventually die?
But soon, someone realized something first, his eyes widened little by little, and his mouth opened slightly!
"here--"
"They're actually making a living by sacrificing pieces!"
The thousands of viewers who were watching this chess game on TV and computers were still confused at this moment.
"What's the meaning?"
"Broken?"
"Isn't White dead here?"
However, among the hundreds of millions of live broadcast rooms, there are always viewers with relatively strong chess skills, and soon there was a comment explaining:
"No, look carefully. White cuts, Black captures, White sets, Black blocks. White attacks first, which is a wonderful sequence. Black can only stick, and White then clamps..."
"In the end, the two white pieces at the bottom were dead, but the other white pieces on the periphery were able to come back to life by changing their order and clamping down on the black pieces!"
Everyone was shocked, and the live broadcast room was instantly in an uproar!
"Oh my god, I thought the white piece couldn't die here no matter what, and I had to find a way to deal with the lone piece, but I ended up giving up?"
"Any plan by White that even remotely threatens me would be instantly rejected by me. How did he come up with the idea of sending White to his death before trying to save him? Why would he even think of that?"
"How could you have thought that White could die here? With such a large open corner, if it dies, the whole game is lost. How could Mr. Arakino actually think of sacrificing a piece?!"
"Oh no! Black is in a bit of a pickle now. We finally managed to cut the white piece in two, but not only did the top white piece escape, but the bottom white piece also managed to survive. All our efforts were in vain!"
"The black pieces are positioned too high, and the edges are not secure. I'm afraid they'll be attacked fiercely by the white pieces next!"
"Is this true? This is too strong!"
Yu Shao naturally didn't know about the heated discussions in the live broadcast room, but similar questions popped up in his mind.
"Offense and defense, a reversal?"
But soon, Yu Shao gave up the idea.
"No."
“It’s not that simple.”
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard intently, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Although there were many subsequent changes and they were complicated, even he could not calculate them clearly, but Yu Shao soon saw the overall direction of the game through local changes, chess shape, thickness, and first move.
"Although Black has failed to achieve what it wanted on both sides and the center of the board now appears empty, it still suppresses White. If Black continues to attack White's lower left corner and forces White to make a move, White will have no choice but to fight back."
"In this duel, Black is indeed at a disadvantage, but Black can quietly fill the previously empty center through tug-of-war."
"Of course this is extremely difficult. To many people, it may seem almost impossible, or even absurd."
"The center is the most vulnerable spot. The corners can be defended with just a few moves, but the center will be attacked from all sides, so the number of moves required would probably be more than ten times as much!"
"But he, Su Yiming, can do it!"
"Su Yiming is far from being that easy to deal with—"
"If we strengthen the middle in the end, White will be in a tough fight!"
At this moment, Su Yiming looked at the white chess piece in the lower right corner of the chessboard, his expression extremely serious.
"Abandoning a child to do the work..."
He had never expected this move. He had originally expected to force the white pieces below to eliminate the isolated pieces. With his relentless pursuit, the white pieces would move thicker and form a solid shape.
But his real purpose is not to kill off the isolated white pieces, but to use the white pieces to deal with the isolated pieces while making his own position thicker, and finally to use the thick position to attack the white pieces from all directions with great force.
However, after White sacrificed his piece to make it alive, all his original plans were in vain.
Despite this, Su Yiming's expression remained calm, and he was frantically calculating various changes in his mind. The past could not be retrieved, and the most urgent task was to immediately formulate a new strategic plan and set up a new situation.
"My midsection looks empty, but he may not really break in. If he stays put and just keeps deploying his troops and encircling me, it will be quite difficult."
"Then we can only continue to attack White and force him to respond!"
"Then he'll have no choice but to resist. I'll build up a strong position, press down on the white pieces, and search for their roots, forcing him to enter the game!"
"Of course, it will be difficult to play thick in a grappling match."
Su Yiming couldn't help but think of the chess game between Arakino and Toyama Xun yesterday, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Come on, then!"
Su Yiming's eyes became more determined, and with a click, he finally reached into the chess box again, picked up the chess piece, and dropped it quickly!
clatter!
Eighteen columns and seventeen rows, hit!
Arakino seemed to have noticed Su Yiming's change. He took a deep breath, took out the chess piece, and responded.
clatter!
Seventeen columns and eighteen rows, stand up!
Su Yiming made another move.
Sixteen columns and eighteen rows, block!
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The two sides began to make moves one after another, and soon, as everyone had seen in advance, after the white pieces were cut off, they finally succeeded in making all the white pieces on the periphery alive by sacrificing pieces!
Then--
Su Yiming picked up the chess piece again and placed it down quickly!
clatter!
The crisp sound of the chess pieces falling seemed to penetrate the space, echoing throughout the world and ringing in everyone's ears!
On the chessboard.
Fourteen columns and fifteen rows, jump!
"Jump?!"
Los Angeles, USA.
Someone couldn't help but stand up suddenly, staring at the computer screen in amazement: "What do you mean?!"
"White's survival is already a foregone conclusion, yet they're still going to force an attack here?!"
Tokyo, Japan.
A chubby young man was holding a bowl of ramen, slurping the noodles while watching the live broadcast. Suddenly, his chopsticks slipped, and the half-eaten noodles hung in the air.
"This move shrinks the white chess piece's eye position?"
A trace of fear appeared on the fat man's face. He bit off the noodles in one bite and said in horror: "What does he want to do?!"
China, Beijing.
Inside the Kong family dojo, a group of young men preparing for the imperial examination gathered around a laptop, their eyes wide open.
"Master chess player Su Yiming, you don't want to continue fighting against the white chess pieces here, right?" A thin young man, his face covered in cold sweat, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked uncertainly.
"Isn't the meaning of this move clear enough?"
A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to him stared at the computer screen and answered in a daze.
France, Paris Chess Club.
"Does he think he can defeat White here?"
A group of professional chess players looked at the TV screen, and their eyes twitched.
"White's upper piece has escaped, and the lower piece has also been brought back to life, but Black's survival is still a problem. It hasn't been completely brought back to life. Thank goodness White isn't causing trouble for Black."
"That's totally unreasonable..."
In an instant, the whole world was in an uproar!
Even though the meaning of Su Yiming's move was obvious, no one dared to believe their eyes.
