Chapter 469: Dead Chess Kills Living Chess
There was also a deep silence in the competition venue.
Everything that happened on the chessboard was enough to shock and terrify everyone!
Fine beads of sweat also seeped out of Araki's forehead. Everything that happened on the chessboard in front of him was also completely beyond his expectations. The situation was completely out of control!
But even so, he still tried to stay calm as much as possible, constantly deducing the subsequent changes in the board in his mind, trying to find a way out of the deadlock!
"Next move, if I clamp, then the black piece will pull. If I pull consecutively, if the black piece jumps out and cuts off my retreat, I'll have no choice but to dig, forcing a hard fight with the black pieces. In this way... the white pieces will be doomed."
Arakino's expression was extremely ugly, but he soon thought of another way to change it.
"If I don't push it straight, but instead attack with a sharp move, Black will inevitably lean in. I'll take the initiative and move to the top, and Black will inevitably break in. I'll stick to it and cut it off, and Black will suppress it... In the end, I'm afraid White will be completely wiped out!"
Several paths in a row were rejected by Arakino himself.
"If the thick tiger is in place to make up for the pieces, what about defending first and then waiting to see what happens?"
"If I use Tiger, Black might be able to use Big Flying to turn around. If I use Cut, Black might sacrifice a piece, and the fish will die with me... No, the fish will definitely die, but the net will not break."
"In the end, White still can't escape death!"
No matter how Araki calculated, whether it was a tough fight or a defensive counterattack, neither approach would work. In this game, it seemed that the white chess pieces were completely trapped in a dead end no matter what.
There is no door in front and no road behind.
Seeing the chess game in front of him, Araki couldn't help but recall the time ten years ago when he was competing with Yasu Hiroishi and had lost one game after another.
He had experienced this feeling of being forced into a desperate situation countless times as early as ten years ago!
He originally thought that this time would be different, but this time, he was forced into a desperate situation again. The difference was that this time, it was not An Hongshi.
"So in the end, this is the only way..."
Arakino's right hand clenched quietly.
Arakino glanced at Su Yiming opposite him, and a look of determination finally appeared in his eyes. He clenched his teeth tightly, and after a moment, he finally took out the chess piece from the chess box again and quickly placed it on the chessboard.
clatter!
Eight columns and seven rows, flying
Soon, Su Yiming also took out the chess piece from the chess box, looked at the chessboard with cold eyes, and placed the black piece in a race against time.
Seven columns and ten rows, big jump!
“Click!”
The moment the black piece fell, the sound of grabbing pieces was heard immediately. Arakino immediately took out the white piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard again, and Su Yiming followed closely behind and continued to place chess pieces!
Da! Da! Da!
The sound of pieces falling continued to ring out.
Everyone watched in silence, feeling somewhat sad.
At this moment, another white piece fell. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then someone's eyes lit up slightly.
"Here, Mr. Arakino didn't counter-cut Black's chess, but used a sharp move?"
“Great!”
"Jian targeted the remaining hint of Black's center. Although the center was strengthened, it was only a piece occupying a prime position. Overall, Black's center was still empty, and Jian cleverly exploited this!"
"Perhaps, White still has a way out?"
The chess pieces are still falling alternately.
The black and white pieces are entangled with each other and are inseparable. The fight has spread to the entire board. All the pieces have their role to play. The board is so complicated and unpredictable that it makes people's scalp tingle!
Everyone has been deeply attracted by this game of chess, and their moods fluctuate with the fall of chess pieces.
White chess takes an unconventional approach, sacrificing a piece to make a living in a seemingly dead end situation, which is enough to scare everyone!
The black chess pieces use strong attacks on the white chess pieces, maintaining suppression on the white chess pieces in every move, while also strengthening themselves, and finally occupying the large field quietly, which is a feat that makes chess players all over the world ashamed!
At this time, the offense and defense were complicated and intricate. The black chess pieces were precise in every move, but the white chess pieces also made many ingenious moves, which was even more exciting!
This game of chess had completely surpassed their imagination. They had never imagined it could play out like this. Although it looked like White was doomed, was there any chance White couldn't make a comeback?!
Among the crowd, only Yu Shao was not optimistic about whether White still had a chance to survive.
White's series of responses were indeed exquisite and astonishingly tenacious, but he had already calculated that no matter what, White's demise was a foregone conclusion.
However, in this game, facing Su Yiming, Araki was able to play like this, forcing Su Yiming into a tough battle, forcing him to risk his death to strengthen the middle road, which was beyond Yu Shao's expectations.
"Although the middle part is thick, he used the tip to draw out the remaining flavor, and he also wanted to penetrate into the middle part and find the eye point in the middle part to work!"
Su Yiming looked at the chessboard with a somewhat cold expression. He quickly reached into the chess box again, took out a chess piece from the box and dropped it.
"We must act ruthlessly and cut off all of White's escape routes as soon as possible. Otherwise, if White really penetrates the center, it will really cause unpredictable changes!"
On the other side, Araki gritted his teeth and looked at the white piece that had just fallen. His eyes could even be said to be a bit fierce. He quickly reached into the chess box and took out the chess piece.
Fifteen columns and eight rows, press!
Da! Da! Da!
The crisp sound of chess pieces dropping continuously echoed in the competition venue.
Two more games of chess have ended, and the winners and losers of these two games, without exception, came to the table where Su Yiming and Arakino were standing and stopped to watch.
Even they were quickly attracted by this game of chess and could not take their eyes off it!
Every time the crisp sound of a chess piece falling is heard, it is accompanied by a suffocating pressure!
but……
Time keeps passing.
On the chessboard, as the chess pieces continued to fall, the big dragon in the lower left corner of the white piece was finally doomed to death under the black piece's series of attacks as dense as a spider web and as violent as a storm.
"We're completely surrounded on all sides. Even if we use a pounce, White will not hesitate to hold back and immediately take us away. Making a move is impossible..."
After reaching this point, the others also saw the final situation of the board, and their expressions couldn't help but become a little gloomy.
Although Araki was surprisingly tenacious in the face of Su Yiming's fierce attack, it seemed that White would eventually... die.
Some people remained silent and did not jump to conclusions. Although it seemed that White was doomed to die, at least he was not dead yet. As long as White was not completely forced to death, everything was still possible!
This possibility is extremely small. If it really happens, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
However, both chess players present are capable of performing such miracles!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Su Yiming looked at the chessboard intently. Seeing that the white chess piece was already in a precarious position, he became extremely calm in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the chess piece again and put it down gently.
Four columns and eleven rows, tiger!
Soon, Arakino took out another chess piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard.
Then Su Yiming picked up the chess piece again and dropped it!
clatter!
Ten columns and six rows, awesome!
Everyone's heart tightened, staring at the black piece on the chessboard.
The black piece's move escaped the advantage and flew upwards, completely thickening the encirclement and also splitting the white piece into three large pieces. This can be said to be the most ferocious move!
"Can White really still make a living in this situation?"
Arakino took a deep breath, picked up the chess piece again, and placed it on the chessboard.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Finally, after another six moves, Su Yiming picked up the chess piece again and slowly put it down!
clatter!
Ten columns and ten rows, paste!
As soon as one piece fell, the white dragon died suddenly. All the previous questions finally had answers at this moment. Although the white dragon struggled violently, it was finally captured by the black chess piece!
The game is over!
However, just as the black chess piece fell, Arakino picked up another chess piece, which landed on the chessboard right after the black chess piece!
clatter!
Eleven columns and ten rows, bang!
"bump?"
Seeing Araki's move, everyone around was a little surprised.
But soon someone reacted, his eyes lit up and his expression became a little excited.
"So that's how it is. This dragon is indeed dead. However, if we can collide with the black dragon from this side, if we can create a conversion, then we may not lose. It's like a one-for-one exchange!"
"Oh my god, this move is powerful!"
"There's actually a possibility of a transformation here! You kill one of my dragons, and I'll kill one of yours in return. That's a transformation. Both sides gain something, and the situation is balanced again, right?!"
Listening to everyone's whispers, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard with an unusually calm expression.
"It's useless."
Many steps ago, Yu Shao had considered the possibility of a conversion, but this was obviously a path that would not work.
"The black pieces are very active, not at all heavy. All they need to do is turn gently and connect with the black pieces on the right. The weak ones... are actually the white pieces."
As soon as Yu Shao had this thought, Su Yiming's chess piece landed on the chessboard.
clatter!
Fourteen columns and eleven rows, stick!
Apparently Su Yiming and Yu Shao had the same idea. With this move, the black chess piece turned around directly and used the black chess piece on the right to link up, which actually put pressure on the white chess piece!
“Crack!”
Inside the chess box, the sound of chess pieces colliding rang out again!
Arakino reached into the chess box, and a sharp look suddenly appeared in his eyes!
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, a white piece landed on the chessboard!
clatter!
Eighteen columns and seven rows, dig!
Seeing Bai Zi's move, Yu Shao was stunned for a moment. Not only Yu Shao, but Su Yiming was also stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the gazes of the two changed almost at the same time, and what they were thinking in their minds were almost exactly the same!
"The black chess piece's tendon has been bitten back!"
The next moment, Su Yiming couldn't help but suddenly raised his head and looked at Araki opposite him!
Arakino's face was a little pale, but he also happened to look at Su Yiming, his eyes as sharp as swords!
On the chessboard, the sound of the white piece falling seemed to still be echoing, shaking the earth, like the final roar of a chess player!
The other people around were also stunned. The amateur chess players all looked puzzled, but people like Zhu Huaian, Ed, etc. also seemed to have noticed something and their expressions suddenly changed.
Soon, Su Yiming picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
"I seem to have underestimated him."
Looking at the chessboard and the chess pieces falling one after another, Yu Shao's expression became more solemn than ever, as if he had caught a glimpse of the cold light in the chessboard!
"What he seeks isn't as simple as just achieving a transformation. In fact, if he seeks something simple, it will be impossible to achieve."
On the chessboard, the chess pieces fall one after another.
The white chess pieces fall, five columns and fourteen rows, long!
The black chess piece falls, five columns and thirteen rows, and it’s a pull!
"It seems I underestimated his chess skills."
Yu Shao's expression was more focused than ever before. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything, with only the constant changes of yin and yang in his mind!
"What he wants—"
"It's a dead chess piece killing a living chess piece!"
Dead chess pieces kill living chess pieces. I know every single one of these five words, but when put together, they are filled with a huge sense of absurdity. And this absurdity is now happening right in front of me on the chessboard!
The death of the white chess piece is inevitable, but even if the white chess piece dies, it can still use its life to advise the living chess piece!
At this moment, the white chess piece fell again!
Seeing this, many people were still confused. Even the two professional chess players who were in the studio and responsible for explaining the game were a little confused.
"Faced with the black piece's charge, the white piece chose to grow. This is a bit confusing. Black's growth here is a strong move, and it's also a very beautiful killing move. And then the white piece..."
The male commentator named Yang Hui hung the chess pieces on the board while explaining the game, his words somewhat incoherently: "White...pull."
Both sides made their moves very quickly. Gradually, his voice became quieter and quieter. He couldn't help but break out in a bead of sweat on his forehead, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
It was not until this moment that he finally seemed to realize something.
Not only him, but everyone in the world who was paying attention to this game of chess began to change their expressions.
They couldn't help but show a look of shock on their faces, and this look of shock began to become more and more intense, and even their mouths felt a little dry!
Everyone stared at the chess game, holding their breath, not even blinking, watching the black and white pieces falling continuously on the criss-crossing chessboard!
Everyone in the world couldn't help but hold their breath as they watched this shocking killing spree that was completely beyond their imagination!
silence.
At this moment, all eyes around the world are focused on this chess game!
The whole world was silent, and everyone held their breath at the same time!
"The long black pieces should be very powerful, but after being pulled back by the white pieces, the black pieces have become heavier. The isolated white pieces have become more aggressive, and there is even the possibility of forming a combo attack!"
Watching the chess pieces falling one after another, Yu Shao's expression became more and more serious.
"The Black position was originally very strong, but under the all-round and comprehensive attack from the White pieces, even such a solid Black position is likely to be broken!"
"It turns out that in the game I saw him play earlier, he didn't use his full strength because his opponent wasn't very strong!"
