Chapter 513 Common Hand Package
Young eagle, didn't you count it?
Suddenly, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of absurdity.
However, the facts are right in front of them, leaving them no choice but to believe.
Finally, Burns spoke up: "What happens after you get the elephant's eye?"
Upon hearing this, someone immediately moved the mouse and began placing pieces one by one according to the position recommended by the fledgling eagle.
Tap, tap, tap...
However, as more and more pieces were placed, even after more than ten moves, everyone still looked at the fledgling eagle's interface with blank expressions.
Piercing the bishop's eye is everyone's first instinct, but the question is, what are the subsequent variations? This position is too dangerous, so what gives White the confidence to dare to pierce the bishop's eye?
After so many moves, it still seems that White's move to break through the elephant's eye is still a problem!
This is not only their problem, but also the problem in the hearts of everyone who is paying attention to this game, and even more so, Su Yiming's problem!
Although this move of piercing the elephant's eye was unexpected by Su Yiming, he remained calm and focused on the chessboard in front of him.
"This is not a game where you can catch up in the middle and late stages even if you fall behind. Once you fall behind, the gap will only widen."
Countless possibilities flashed through Su Yiming's mind like fleeting shadows. On the chessboard in front of him, it seemed as if there were countless chess pieces, constantly intersecting and falling, playing out various different outcomes.
"To win, you must see through the opponent's intentions."
"If you still can't see through it, then there's another way... calculate all the local changes!"
"Then, find a way to break the deadlock."
"Next move, if we stab..."
Time passed second by second.
Three minutes.
Five minutes.
Eight minutes.
"I see."
Finally, after a full ten minutes, Su Yiming's eyes flickered. Although he felt an unprecedented sense of difficulty, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He took a deep breath, reached into the chess box again, picked out a chess piece, and slowly placed it down.
On the chessboard, under the watchful eyes of the world, Black finally made his move again.
clatter!
Four columns and fourteen rows, stab!
This move is part of the game's strategy. Since White has penetrated the elephant's eye and attacked with such a tactic that leaves no way out, Black must naturally retaliate fiercely by striking White's weak point, hitting White's Achilles' heel.
Seeing Su Yiming make his move, Yu Shao quickly picked up his own piece and placed it on the board.
Four columns and fifteen rows, paste!
This move was still expected by everyone: to fill the gaps and prevent Black from easily dividing White's pieces.
Su Yiming's expression remained unchanged as he picked up another chess piece and slowly placed it down.
Tap, tap, tap!
Black, six columns and seventeen rows, push!
White, in the seventh column and fifteenth row, push!
Black, 8 columns and 14 rows, komi!
Then--
White's pieces, six columns and sixteen rows, connect!
"Black's move was an attempt to push towards the center, but White calmly stuck it out?"
Upon seeing this, everyone's faces immediately showed astonishment.
Black's move to connect and extend towards the center is a very strategic move. While it doesn't pose much of a threat to White locally, it exerts significant pressure on White from a global perspective.
At this point, it would not be surprising if White played some strong moves, but surprisingly, White remained calm and simply connected the cutting point!
Su Yiming picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
clatter!
Nine columns and seventeen rows, let's eat!
This move was expected by everyone. Since the next move would be a dead end for White's blocking at the bottom, Black had to take control of the White stones located at the bottom of the tenth column first. Therefore, Black directly captured the White stones in this move!
At this moment, the white piece made its move again.
clatter!
Seven columns and eighteen rows, block!
"Although Black had already captured the white stones in the tenth row, White still blocked them, seized the initiative, and demanded that Black make a move to respond!"
The recorder nearby took a deep breath, moved the mouse, and recorded the move: "Is White going to launch a direct counterattack? Does White have a strategy here?"
Click.
The sound of chess pieces colliding echoed from inside the chess box.
Su Yiming took out a black piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard, following closely behind the white piece.
clatter!
Two columns and eighteen rows, sharp!
Yu Shao then placed a white piece.
Two columns and sixteen rows, paste!
…………
"Yu Shao has started plundering the black stones in the corner! He needs to reduce the black stones' eye space in the lower left corner!"
Seeing White's move on the television screen, Le Haoqiang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise in the Phoenix Cup World Championship debriefing room!
Zheng Qin's expression was serious. He quickly picked up a white piece and placed it in the second column and sixteenth row, just like on the television screen. Then, he looked at the chessboard and fell into thought.
Soon, Zheng Qin placed a black piece.
Four columns and eighteen rows, stand up!
Not long after Zheng Qin made his move, Su Yiming placed his own piece on the same spot on the television screen.
Four columns and eighteen rows, stand up!
Almost the instant the black piece was placed, the white piece followed suit on the television screen.
clatter!
Three columns and nineteen rows, thrust!
"A brilliant move!"
Upon seeing this move, Zheng Qin couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Black can't block here! Otherwise, if White plays a push next, without two eyes in the corner, Black will collapse!"
Beside him, Le Haoqiang nodded and said solemnly, "Here, Black can only choose to connect and expand its eye space. Otherwise, if all the Black stones in the lower left corner are killed, Black can basically resign directly."
"Um."
Zheng Qin picked up a piece and placed it in the position of the fifth column and sixteenth row, which is what Le Haoqiang called "sticking".
However, Zheng Qin frowned slightly, still looking somewhat puzzled: "Although in the series of exchanges here, it seems that White has the initiative and is poised to kill at every turn, Black has defended against all of them so far."
"Black's group is alive in the lower left corner, the game is already decided. What should White do next?"
This question stumped everyone, and they all stared at the chessboard, lost in thought.
At that moment, on the television screen, Black, as they had predicted, played a move that connected five columns and sixteen rows. This could be considered the only move available at the moment; any other move would result in a swift defeat.
At this moment, the white piece made another move, answering everyone's question about how white should play next.
clatter!
Ten columns and eighteen rows, stand up!
Everyone stared at the seed and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces began to move swiftly.
Tap, tap, tap...
After White plays a move, Black blocks it, White plays a move that pushes the board, and when Black pushes the board, White plays a move that follows the momentum...
Gradually, everyone seemed to realize something, and their expressions underwent a startling change.
Some people were completely stunned!
The room where the debriefing was taking place became increasingly quiet.
But unlike the increasingly quiet debriefing room, everyone's hearts were in turmoil!
finally--
"I initially thought that White's move to capture the elephant's eye was for the purpose of plundering and fighting in the lower left corner, but now it seems that the series of exchanges in the lower left corner had nothing to do with capturing the elephant's eye at all!"
A Japanese Go player couldn't help but exclaim, "It wasn't until that last move that White deployed its hidden pawns, but now, with this move, White is only now beginning to reclaim the foreshadowing of 'piercing the elephant's eye'!"
Yes!
After such a dazzling and exciting series of moves, they almost forgot about White's previous attempt to capture the elephant's eye, focusing instead on the corner attack and defense in the lower left corner!
However, it wasn't until the corner attack and defense in the lower left corner came to an end, and so much time had passed, that White finally began to retract its foreshadowing and reveal its true intentions!
Or perhaps, all those previous changes and battles were just preparations for deploying the ambush forces to retrieve the foreshadowing!
On the television screen, another white piece was placed.
Six columns and nineteen rows, charge!
One of the North and South Korean Go players couldn't help but slap his thigh, extremely excited, and exclaimed in shock: "White counterattacks, and after Black captures, White has a strong foot!"
"Therefore! This move by White... directly charged in!"
...
...
"Black's stones in the lower left corner were already alive, and it was certain they would live, but now, a ko fight has broken out in the lower left corner!!!"
In an apartment in France, someone stood up in shock, clutching their hair, utterly unable to believe their eyes: "And Black can't start this ko fight right away!!!"
In a Go hall in the UK, the shouts and cheers were deafening. Everyone was shocked and excited by what was happening on the TV screen!
"If Black tries to capture now, White will take it, and Black will not be able to find suitable ko threats!"
"If the corner is captured, Black can resign immediately!"
"That's amazing! That's incredible! What an astonishing calculation!"
Meanwhile, in the United States, Apollo Technologies...
Even the researchers guarding the fledgling eagle were filled with trepidation!
Now they finally understand why the fledgling eagle had been down for so long. At first, they even ranked the change of "piercing the elephant's eye" as the third. This change was too complicated. Even after more than ten attempts, they could not see any clues at all!
This ambush, which was like piercing an elephant's eye, would not be launched until more than twenty moves later!
"But--"
They stared blankly at the change diagram provided by the fledgling eagle: "This calamity came without any warning whatsoever!"
Just then, on the laptop screen, another black piece landed on the chessboard!
clatter!
Thirteen columns and thirteen rows, jump!
Glug!
Everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard, their mouths feeling dry.
This is yet another choice made by a fledgling eagle!
This move seems like a sign of weakness, an attempt to retreat and escape from this predicament. But they know, no, that's not it!
Judging from the subsequent variations provided by the young eagle, this move is the only move in the current board situation where Black can directly confront White. Choosing to make two or three moves would lower the win rate, and by a lot!
This move is a long-term strategy. By pressuring Black from a high position, it restricts Black's position from a far-reaching perspective. It can be described as a brilliant move that is beyond words!
Faced with this change, the young eagle's first choice for White is—
Eighteen columns and thirteen rows, wow!
This is something they simply can't understand, and even if given a diagram showing the changes, they still can't comprehend it!
...
...
Inside the competition venue.
"He jumped!"
Zhao Zhengyang stared intently at the chessboard not far away, even subconsciously holding his breath: "Faced with White's threat, Black has shown weakness!"
"At this point, White should press their advantage and launch a strong attack on the lower left corner. Whether they push or dig, there are many possibilities!"
However, to Zhao Zhengyang's surprise, Yu Shao fell into deep thought when faced with this situation.
"You've been thinking for a long time?"
Zhao Zhengyang was puzzled: "Why? On this board, White should have many options, right?"
Finally, after nearly five minutes, Yu Shao picked up a chess piece again and gently placed it on the chessboard.
clatter!
Fourteen columns and twelve rows, stab!
Immediately, the three judges and the scorekeeper were all stunned and could not believe their eyes. Even Su Yiming's pupils shrank when he saw this move!
Instead of relentlessly attacking the lower left corner, Black instead poked at the right side of the board, something Zhao Zhengyang and his team hadn't anticipated.
Su Yiming expected Yu Shao to place a piece on the right side of the board, but he judged that Yu Shao would play a push. However, Yu Shao's response was actually... a stab?
This move wasn't too bad, but it was bad that it continued to place pieces on the left side of the board. But wasn't it a bit cliché?
Su Yiming frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then picked up another chess piece and placed it down.
clatter!
Fourteen columns and thirteen rows, jump!
The moment the black piece landed on the board, Yu Shao placed another piece.
clatter!
Twelve columns and twelve rows, jump!
Upon seeing this move, Su Yiming's pupils contracted again, and his hand, which had already picked up a piece, froze in mid-air!
"he……"
"He's going to forcibly slay the dragon?!"
With this jump, White clearly adopted a posture of forcibly killing the dragon. This kind of attack is indeed very common, like that of a beginner, but it is common yet powerful, simple and straightforward!
This isn't even the way a skilled player would play.
This is how ranked players play!
In short, since Black has a weakness here, and a slight chance to kill the dragon, White forcibly blocks Black's moves, seizes on Black's weakness and makes it clear that White wants to kill the dragon!
A player with even a basic understanding of Go, if they wanted to kill the dragon, would most likely play exactly the same move as Yu Shao at this moment: use overwhelming force, disregard everything else, first maximize the pressure, and brazenly trap the black stones. As for whether they could actually kill the dragon, that would be left to fate.
Anyway, this three-pronged approach is undeniably vulgar, but its suppressive power is certainly at its maximum.
In this situation, although Black has weaknesses, it is unlikely that a dragon-killing move would be possible. In fact, it would be difficult to find even one opportunity to kill the dragon in a normal game.
However, with such a series of mediocre moves, White's own problems are naturally more serious. On the other hand, Black does indeed have the possibility of being killed!
Therefore, even top chess players would be slapped a few times by this unsportsmanlike move from a beginner.
Of course... this is just an example.
If he were truly just a player with a basic understanding of Go, he wouldn't choose to capture the dragon on the right side of the board; instead, he would still be struggling against Black on the left side!
Su Yiming took a deep breath, finally regained his composure, and placed the chess piece down again.
clatter!
Eleven columns, fourteen rows, Xiao Fei!
