Chapter 492: Inconsistent with Human Thinking
Finally, Arakino picked up the chess piece again, and it landed on the chessboard under the watchful eyes of the whole world!
clatter!
Eight columns and twelve rows, bang!
Soon, Yu Shao also picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard!
"Although the formation is likely to be disrupted, the white pieces have been completely divided up as I wished!"
Araki gazed at the white piece that had just landed, pursed his lips, and looked at it with a serious expression, as if he had murderous intent.
Click!
Pick up another piece and drop it quickly!
"Whether you disrupt Black's formation and divide White's pieces, or you don't disrupt Black's formation and allow them to connect into one continuous line, it doesn't matter!"
"anyway--"
The moment the chess piece landed on the chessboard, all the chess pieces showed their murderous intent!
"I'll fight you to the bitter end!"
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
Both sides moved their pieces with lightning speed!
...
...
Inside a rented room in Gangneung.
On the computer screen.
Every move made by both sides is carefully planned and full of hidden dangers. On this chessboard, which is as intricate as a spider web, neither black nor white dares to be careless. If they reveal even the slightest mistake, they will be attacked by the other side!
On the chessboard, Yu Shao's white pieces kept moving and attacking the black pieces fiercely. The black pieces were not willing to be outdone and attacked the gaps left by the white pieces and fought back, refusing to be easily broken up by the white pieces.
But it is obvious that the white pieces keep moving and attacking the black pieces. After a series of moves, the black pieces' shape has some problems!
"Yu Shao has the first move."
He Yu's ashtray was already full of ashes, and the whole room was filled with smoke.
"It's unbelievable how Yu Shao has maintained such a relentless and fierce offensive."
"Arakino-sensei has fallen into a disadvantageous position. Black's formation has been broken up. It's a stalemate, but this should have been within the expectations of both of them."
He Yu paid no attention to the smoky atmosphere in the room, staring intently at the computer screen in front of him, not even daring to blink.
"But Arakino-sensei won't wait too long."
He Yu took a deep drag on his cigarette.
"If it were me, I might have shown a weakness under such a fierce and overwhelming offensive, and then be directly defeated."
"However, Arakino-sensei is different."
"Even though Mr. Arakino looks embarrassed, he has never suffered a serious loss. Although the black pieces are scattered, the white pieces are also completely divided. At that time, Mr. Arakino will take action."
"When will it be, Mr. Arakino?"
He Yu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and the high school Go league held at Jiangling No. 1 High School two years ago couldn't help but come to mind.
Everything that happened that day still seems like it was happening right before my eyes.
At that time, out of curiosity about Su Yiming, he came to the competition venue and witnessed the first battle between Su Yiming and Yu Shao, and was shocked by it.
But at that time, he never imagined that in less than two years, the two of them would reach this point in the professional Go world.
Everything felt like a dream.
...
"White has the initiative now, but my position is not bad either."
"However, if we remain inactive, we will only be heading towards death."
Araki looked at the chessboard intently, calculating the gains and losses in his mind. Finally, he made a decision, reached into the chess box again, took out the chess piece, and then -
clatter!
The chess piece falls!
Four columns and thirteen rows, town!
"What will you choose now?"
Araki raised his head solemnly and looked at Yu Shao opposite him.
"tell me."
Seemingly having heard Araki's words, Yu Shao soon picked up a white piece and quickly placed it down.
clatter!
Thirteen columns and fourteen rows, so long!
"long?"
Arakino lowered his head and looked at the white piece that had just fallen on the chessboard, his eyes reflecting the entire chessboard.
"Ignoring my attack and instead going to the other side, are you still trying to gain the upper hand and harass the black formation?"
"I won't let you have your wish."
Araki took out a Go piece and gently placed it down.
Thirteen columns and twelve rows, break it!
The chess piece falls, and the world changes color.
...
Tokyo, Japan.
"Break it!"
Looking at the computer screen, a short-haired boy couldn't help but stand up from his chair: "Black has stabilized a little and immediately launched a counterattack? So fast!"
The others were also staring intently at the computer screen, their expressions far from relaxed. Although they were just spectators, watching this game of chess made them feel immense pressure.
Whether you stand on the side of the haters or the side of the whites.
Once you immerse yourself in the situation, regardless of which side you're on, every move your opponent makes brings an invisible pressure that's almost suffocating, making you rack your brains and break out in a sweat.
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't play this game; only they could manage to play it."
"White moves completely like a guerrilla, moving in and out of Black's territory seven times as if it were empty, causing heavy casualties to Black."
"But this moment has finally arrived."
"Arakino-sensei was very patient before, but now, with the break, Arakino-sensei has revealed his true colors, dividing the white stones and starting to make his move!"
A group of people stared intently at the computer screen, subconsciously wondering what they would do in this situation if they were in that position.
I can't think of it.
The white pieces were in a perfectly good position, and could even be said to be slightly better than the black pieces, but after the black pieces made this move, they only felt a sense of powerlessness!
"This is no longer a game that we, who just became professional players this year, can relate to. We can only watch them make their moves."
Some people took a deep breath, feeling both disappointed and excited, and clenched their fists, saying, "That was brilliant! In the near future, I will definitely play a move like that!"
The people in front are moving forward, but the people behind are also catching up!
New seeds are also sprouting.
The torch is passed down from generation to generation, never to be extinguished!
...
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Facing the black counterattack, everyone thought that the white chess pieces would change their strategy accordingly and use steady means to deal with the black chess pieces, but what shocked everyone was that the white chess pieces did not!
"Araki-sensei went all out with his attack, but Yu Shao stubbornly accepted it all!"
Someone shouted in disbelief!
"White could have stopped while they were ahead, why are they still forcing things?"
"You had a lot of initiative before, but now you should let go! Although Black's pieces have been scattered, they are now very weak. It's not worth it for White to waste too many moves!"
"Does Yu Shao really think he can raise an orphan in such a cramped space?!"
"Impossible, impossible, it must be a joke!"
"We can't be too aggressive at this point! Just take the initiative and secure the pieces!"
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room kept flying by one after another.
The already overcrowded live stream room is now seeing a surge in viewership, exceeding 100 million. And this is just the live stream room in China; it doesn't even include the live stream rooms overseas!
Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, took a deep breath, and his eyes seemed a little cold!
He picked up the white piece between his fingers and quickly placed it on the plate!
Seven columns, nine rows, jump!
White refused to lose the initiative and aggressively pushed towards the center, trying to secure its own group while maintaining an offensive against Black!
"Jump……"
Cold sweat rolled down Arakino's face, and his mind was quickly calculating the situation. Because it consumed too much brain power, his face turned pale!
"If I make a sharp move next, White will extend, and I will have the means to push back. However, White might also take advantage of this and make a small knight's move, which would make the situation unclear and unpredictable!"
"So it won't work!"
Although White's choice seemed somewhat unreasonable, Araki's expression was not relaxed in the face of such an unreasonable tactic; in fact, one could say he was under even more pressure!
"I'll try to seize the key points with a small knight's move, but that probably won't work. This person can definitely tell that my shape isn't very stable yet, and will use a 'poke' move to force me to reinforce my position. If we exchange these two moves, Black will be at a disadvantage!"
"So, the only remaining option is..."
"Jump away!"
Araki's gaze sharpened, and after determining the direction, he began to continuously deduce the changes after the black piece jumped!
"He jumps, wanting to keep standing out, so I'll jump too, there's always an end to it!"
"If he breaks through, then I'll suppress him. I have resources around me, so I can let him make a move while I take the lead!"
Finally, Araki picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard!
The sound of the piece being placed was resounding and deafening!
Five columns and nine rows, jump!
Araki raised his head slightly and looked at Yu Shao with a sharp gaze.
"Indeed, it is generally unlikely that one can win over an isolated person in such a narrow place by relying on a weak offensive in a localized area."
"But since you've said so, I'll believe you."
I believe you can do it!
"To pin your hopes on your opponent's inability to do something is something only a fool would do. What I do is assume first that you can do it, and then make plans based on that!"
Yu Shao looked down at the chessboard and finally couldn't help but frown slightly.
Black's jump was indeed a valid move, but it shouldn't have been played.
His attack on Black's group to secure their own group actually means sacrificing the interests of the corner entirely, all for the sake of getting ahead. In his view, getting ahead is more important than anything else, which is also a perspective in the AI era!
As long as White gets ahead, the losses in other areas can be made up for by getting ahead. Yu Shao doesn't think Araki can see through his intention to give up the corner interests in order to get ahead in the center.
However, Araki made this surprising move!
So, going down the same path as before is no longer feasible!
Everyone around held their breath, staring at the chessboard. Although they were puzzled by Araki's move, not many people showed any surprise; they had already gotten used to it.
A heavy, oppressive tension permeated the air.
Yu Shao gazed quietly at the chessboard, and after a moment, finally picked up a chess piece and gently placed it down.
clatter!
Nine columns and nine rows, jump!
...
"What's this?"
"Did he jump again?"
When the white pieces made this move, the entire world was stunned.
Then, another black stone was placed.
In New York City, someone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaim, "Black jumped too?!"
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
On the chessboard, black and white pieces kept falling alternately, and gradually, everyone's expression changed.
"Holy crap?"
As the game unfolded, Ding Huan, inside the Southern Chess Academy, was so stunned that he forgot to write his report and was completely dumbfounded!
"You can do it like that?"
Not only him, but everyone else stared blankly at the chessboard, unable to believe their eyes.
The live chat exploded at that moment!
"He made three consecutive jumps, playing it like a game of checkers, but Araki-sensei actually responded with three consecutive jumps in return!"
"I'm down here, but I can't understand anything here!"
"After three consecutive jumps, White, in order to seize the initiative, actually sacrificed his most urgent piece twice. He first used a pounce to force Black to capture the White piece, then, after tightening his grip, he was drawn into a fight for a ko, and then he used a sharp thrust and a break."
"Now I finally understand, but is this really something a human could come up with? It jumps around in all directions, completely defying human logic!"
“Generally speaking, it is a logical chain that leads from a to b, and then from b to c. However, in these moves, the process of b is missing, so no one would connect c with a. As a result, it is as if White knew a first, then deduced b, and finally got c!”
"But the combination of a and c is actually brilliant, far superior to a first a, then b, then c?!"
"The problem is, without B, how does A know C! Checking the answers? Is that what genius is?"
The chess pieces keep falling!
Everyone was engrossed in the game, sweat beading on their faces.
The white pieces, which originally had no chance of shaking the black pieces, now broke into the black formation and even seized the initiative everywhere.
"Arakino-sensei, the casualties are heavy."
Many people felt dry in the mouth after seeing this.
"Yu Shao is so strong! He can actually do this under such circumstances!"
“Wonderful, wonderful!”
"Although they've been divided up, it seems that Yu Shao is the one who's been slowly but surely gaining the upper hand, like cutting flesh with a dull knife!"
"No, no, no, Mr. Araki, I didn't understand those jumps before, but I can understand them now. It seems that those jumps actually restricted the direction of White's development!"
"If those few jumps hadn't been effective, and Yu Shao had gained the upper hand and continued playing like that, Black would have been in danger. Although Black has suffered heavy losses, there are still ways for Black to contend with White!"
The barrage of comments scrolled by!
In the studios of various countries, the commentators responsible for explaining this game were completely shocked. Their Yu Shao's play was already shocking, but Araki Ye actually saw through it in advance and found a way out for himself?
"A divine game of chess..." the female commentator murmured.
Inside the competition venue.
Araki looked down at the chessboard, his face covered in sweat, a wave of fear washing over him. He certainly hadn't expected Yu Shao to play like that, but he had assumed that Yu Shao would eventually manage to save his isolated group of pieces!
Arakino was extremely calm at this moment, and his mind was working fast.
“If I continue to fight the black pieces, it will be disadvantageous for my pieces to advance. Therefore, I must first prepare an ambush to lure the black pieces into advancing. If he moves to the fourth column and twelfth row, I can move to the fourth column and eleventh row to retreat!”
"He seized the key position, but because White's pieces were divided, I have a large area!"
"Although I have suffered heavy losses in some areas, just as his previous moves have taught me, local losses can be made up for in the overall game. My situation may not be as bad as I think!!!"
"so--"
Araki took out a chess piece and quickly placed it down!
Two columns, eleven rows, Xiao Fei!
