Chapter 476: Eagle Falls from the Sky
(ps: The names of the characters in the previous chapter were wrong. It was mainly because there were too many people, and too many people were watching the game. Sometimes the perspective switched to Zheng Qin, sometimes to Ande, and sometimes to Yu Shao. I got mixed up while writing, and I did it twice. My goodness.)
"How is it possible..."
Ander's face turned pale, and cold sweat streamed down his face. He couldn't believe that after his trick, the situation had developed to this point. Not only did he not have the advantage, but he even -
"Has the offense and defense changed?"
It now seems that the black chess pieces are attacking like a tide, continuously and endlessly, which even makes people feel suffocated when thinking about it. On the other hand, although the white chess pieces are responding to each other and the overall situation is balanced, they do not have many first moves and their life and death are also in question.
Therefore, anyone who knows a little about Go can easily come to the conclusion that the black pieces have the upper hand on the board. Ander is naturally no exception, but he cannot accept it from the bottom of his heart.
“Click!”
The corners of Ander's eyes twitched twice, and he clenched his teeth tightly, his expression full of unwillingness. He picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly!
clatter!
Twelve columns and twelve rows, long!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, his expression still focused and serious. His attitude did not seem like the black chess had the advantage at all. Instead, it looked more like he was in a tough battle and was very serious.
In fact, it is indeed so!
Looking at the current situation on the board, everyone, including Ander, concluded without hesitation that Black had the advantage. However, in Yu Shao's opinion, this was not the case!
There were many times before when Yu Shao was clearly at an advantage, but others thought he was at a disadvantage. However, this game was completely different.
Others think that Black has the advantage, but in fact, the two sides are still in a balance!
Although the technique of "hanging", which is to fly high in the layout stage to coordinate the whole board, has not been seen often in the past, it is a method of play that was once highly praised by even Go AI, and it is far from that simple!
This way of playing was abandoned simply because it was too intense and complicated. The player who sacrificed the piece was a little bit better, but it was abandoned just because of "a little bit". Because chess players pursue perfection, there is nothing wrong with this way of playing!
Black does have many first moves and a fierce offensive, but White also has many colorful and clever moves, enough to compete with Black. As long as the moves are played well, White can also win!
Yu Shao didn't think that since Ander could perform that amazing trick, he wouldn't be able to find these methods!
"I have to kill you, otherwise, I might lose."
Yu Shao picked up the chess piece again and dropped it quickly!
clatter!
Eight columns and eleven rows, tiger!
In his opinion, the fierce battle has just begun!
"Tiger!"
Everyone's expression froze, and a tense atmosphere permeated the entire chessboard!
"The tiger is the most drastic tactic. Filling this gap means completely ignoring the gaps in the other two pieces. We're going to march directly into the White formation and forcefully demand that White make a statement!"
Some people's eyes were filled with horror.
This is a strong player who wants to destroy himself and his opponent, and it is the most locally aggressive method. In his opinion, Black already has an advantage, and there are many ways to attack. There is no need to play like this. It is better to advance slowly!
Using the tiger leaves no way for the white pieces to retreat, but it also cuts off one's own retreat, which is totally unreasonable!
Ander looked at this tiger move and felt the pressure like a mountain. His back was completely soaked with sweat without him knowing when.
After a moment, he bit his lip, picked up the chess piece with a click, and placed it on the chessboard again!
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
The sound of chess pieces being moved repeatedly began to echo in everyone's ears!
The chess pieces fell on the chessboard, and seemed to turn into the flashes of swords and sabers, flashing before everyone's eyes.
"Facing the White piece's block, the Black piece chose to push out. The White piece naturally flew without hesitation, intending to counterattack. However, the Black piece chose to... directly break through?"
Kimurago looked down at the chessboard, his expression grave, his heart completely trembling. "Is there a new understanding of the timing of the break here? There's actually this kind of attacking method. It's completely unexpected and so brutal."
"Compared to his previous chess record, his sense of life and death is even sharper now."
The other people around were also looking at the chess game in fear.
They originally thought that even if black had the advantage, Ander, as the dark horse of this competition, could make that amazing "hanging" move and should be able to hold on, and might even give everyone a surprise.
but……
Under the continuous and fierce attack of the black pieces, the white pieces can only take the beating all the way, and can only keep escaping and killing isolated pieces. Not to mention counterattacking, even resisting seems difficult to do!
To be more precise, every move made by the black chess piece now is a chase!
This is a chase of thousands of miles!
After more than a dozen moves, the competition venue suddenly became even quieter.
…
…
North Korea and South Korea Go Institute, inside the replay room.
“It’s so brutal…”
A long-haired young man stared at the TV screen, his face covered in sweat. "They're not giving White any chance of survival. It's simply... outrageous. To get in, they're not even caring about their own appearance, so sure they can kill White in one fell swoop!"
"After this series of sacrifices, each initiative was utilized to the utmost. A seamless, interlocking series of invasions and penetrations, with overwhelming force, stormed through the White Formation!"
"I'm afraid White has already..."
He opened his mouth slightly, but ultimately failed to utter the next words.
However, everyone else in the review room knew what he wanted to say.
Li Junhe's expression was so serious that it looked like tears were about to drip out of his eyes.
I'm afraid White has already lost!
They didn't know whether the white chess piece could escape from the black chess piece at the beginning, but the black chess piece's courage was indeed amazing. As if it was sure that the white chess piece must be dead, it rushed into the white formation regardless of anything and set off a shocking riot.
It's not that the white chess pieces didn't resist. In fact, the white chess pieces made many good moves. At one point, they were about to beat the black chess pieces into a stupid shape in the lower left corner. However, seeing that the lower left corner was in danger, the black chess pieces completely ignored it in order to seize the initiative and capture the king!
This is pretty scary!
You know, the piece in the lower left corner is the most important dragon for black. There is no possibility that if the dragon dies, black can still maneuver through transformation and taking the initiative. If there is a problem with the dragon and the battle line is lengthened, black will definitely lose!
However, the black chess pieces did not even care about the stupid appearance of the big dragon, and were determined to break into the white formation and demand a quick victory. What kind of pressure was this for the white chess pieces?
Even if they are not the white chess pieces in the game, they can still feel it!
Can Black definitely break through by taking the initiative?
Black does have a lot of first moves, but it may not succeed in breaking through. Maybe it's worth a gamble!
This is a difficult decision, a matter of life and death!
In the end, as the person in charge, Ander did not dare to gamble, nor did he dare to continue attacking the black chess's stupidity. He withdrew to the center and dealt with the black chess.
In fact, if they asked themselves honestly, if it were them, they probably wouldn't dare to gamble unless they calculated everything thoroughly. But the situation was too complicated and too detailed to be calculated at all!
On the contrary, the Black chess piece's arrogant and unreasonable momentum seemed to have already calculated the death date of the White chess piece, although they knew that this should be impossible.
But what if?
No one dares to bet on this possibility!
…
…
Inside the competition venue, chess pieces continued to fall.
clatter.
clatter.
clatter.
White's defense is very tenacious, but Black still almost completely suppresses White, and the killing in the center is almost unified, and White has been completely defeated!
Finally, after a while.
A black chess piece falls on the chessboard.
it's over!
When Yu Shao picked up the chess piece again and it fell down, Ande did not pick up the chess piece again, because no matter how he moved, it would be of no use.
The winner of this game has been decided.
Black, big win.
Although none of the white pieces were killed and the big dragon was alive, the white pieces had too few spaces surrounded. After the big space in the center was broken by the black pieces, the white pieces had no chance.
There is no need to count the points. Even if the handicap points are included, a rough look shows that Black is at least ten points ahead, and this gap is almost impossible to make up in the endgame.
Although he won, Yu Shao frowned slightly as he looked at the chessboard in front of him.
"How is it possible..."
"Impossible..."
On the opposite side, Ander looked at the chessboard in front of him, his face pale and his pupils slightly dilated. He was completely unable to accept the current outcome and suffered an unprecedented huge blow!
He originally thought that after he made that hanging move, the situation would be smooth sailing. After all, most of the previous chess games were like this.
If it was just based on chess strength, he was no match for Zhang Dongchen. However, because he played another variation of the Eaglet move, even Zhang Dongchen was defeated by him in the end!
That's a young eagle!
But now he has encountered...
The biggest and most disastrous defeat in his career as a professional chess player.
Everyone has had the experience of being killed in the middle of the game. This is not considered a crushing defeat. The real crushing defeat is that you didn’t even kill the dragon. The big dragon is still alive, but you can’t surround enough space. The gap between you and the opponent is similar to that of killing the dragon, so you can only resign!
After a while, in silence, Ender finally lowered his head deeply.
"I lost..."
Hearing Ande's move, Yu Shao withdrew his gaze from Ande and looked at the chessboard again, frowning slightly.
He originally thought that this game would be a fierce confrontation, and he was even prepared for a tough fight. As a result, he broke into the white formation almost in one go and killed the white chess pieces in the empty space.
In the mid-game battle, Ander's performance was only slightly better than Zheng Qin's, and it didn't seem like he could last until the third round of the double-elimination tournament.
However, Yu Shao didn't think too much about it. He quickly nodded slightly to Ande, then stood up and walked towards the table where Zhuang Weisheng and An Hongshi were sitting.
The duel between Zhuang Weisheng and An Hongshi has not yet ended.
Not only the game between Zhuang Weisheng and An Hongshi, but also the game between Su Yiming and Dongshanxun is still in a fierce battle.
Until Yu Shao left, Ander still sat there with his head bowed deeply, obviously still unable to accept the fact that he had "lost the game".
Or rather, unacceptable.
An indescribable feeling of deep powerlessness almost enveloped his entire body.
The people around did not leave immediately. They looked at the chessboard and fell into silence, with extremely complicated emotions.
They had never expected that Ander could actually use such a cunning trick as "hanging". This move was simply a genius idea, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as "fairy from the sky".
But what shocked them even more was that Ender still lost.
Facing the overall balance formed by the white chess after the hanging, the black chess did not play thickly but inexplicably underestimated itself. Finally, through a series of sacrifices, it formed a tide of offensive and incredibly defeated the white chess.
How could anyone, faced with a comprehensive and balanced attack, choose to go light instead of heavy?
How could someone dare to sacrifice pieces so decisively and repeatedly?!
What kind of thinking, what kind of judgment, what kind of imagination, what kind of chess skills, can one use this method to break through the situation when encountering this kind of board for the first time?!
It was already an exaggeration to be able to play that hanging move, but this is far more exaggerated than that hanging move.
Those who thought Araki was likely to win the championship yesterday because of the game between Araki and Su Yiming, now feel a little lost after watching the game between Yu Shao and Ande...
Yu Shao naturally had no idea what everyone was thinking.
He stood among the crowd around table number two, his mind already immersed in the game of chess.
In this game, Zhuang Weisheng plays black and An Hongshi plays white.
In this game, the two sides did not engage in a fierce fight, but instead surrounded each other continuously. The board was scattered, and it was obviously a fight with hidden tricks. In the end, it would probably go to the endgame to decide the winner.
On the chessboard, seven dragons dance together in twists and turns. Both sides invade, eliminate and transform the encirclement and the invisible. Although the situation is not intense, every move is full of intrigue and meticulousness, which requires extremely high levels of support.
Yu Shao once played a game with Zhuang Weisheng in the national championship, and in this game, Zhuang Weisheng's performance made Yu Shao's expression a little solemn.
Zhuang Weisheng originally had a good control over the overall situation, but his handling of details was a little rough. However, in this game, Zhuang Weisheng was very delicate, and his style of play became very simple, giving a sense of ingenuity without being elaborate.
Even after coming down here, An Hongshi already felt like he was going to have a tough fight!
"However, An Hongshi will not sit still and wait for death."
Yu Shao thought silently in his heart.
On the chessboard, black and white pieces keep falling alternately, composing a magnificent melody together.
Just as Yu Shao expected, An Hongshi began to use the induction to make a big conversion, which made everyone dumbfounded, but Zhuang Weisheng took the initiative and used the small eye in the upper right corner of the chessboard to launch a fierce attack and defense, and actually caught An Hongshi again!
The originally calm situation on the board was completely broken. Originally, everyone, including Yu Shao, believed that the game would end in the endgame to decide the winner. However, An Hongshi responded with violence and used a "jump" move, which started a full-scale massacre in the middle and late stages of the game!
A big dragon of Zhuang Weisheng was abruptly cut off. It seemed that An Hongshi would win the game, but Zhuang Weisheng remained unmoved. He cleverly used the surrounding pieces and fought to the official position with jaw-dropping tricks!
clatter.
clatter.
clatter.
Time keeps passing and chess pieces keep falling.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Weisheng looked at the chessboard in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I lost."
The surroundings were extremely quiet and Yu Shao didn't say a word.
In this game of chess, Zhuang Weisheng's performance was shocking enough, but he still lost.
Lost.
Half an eye...
