Chapter 96: The feeling of powerlessness that is out of reach (fourth update, please order first)

After hearing Su Yiming admit defeat, Yu Shao just stared at the chessboard in silence.

This game of chess can even be called a crushing victory.

But even so, Yu Shao still felt pressure, or... threat, from this game of chess.

He never expected that after gaining an amazing advantage in the layout phase, the opponent could actually fight him to this extent. This was something he could hardly imagine before the game.

After a long time, Yu Shao finally withdrew his gaze from the chessboard, looked at Su Yiming, and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Su Yiming was staring at the chessboard, not knowing what he was thinking. After hearing Yu Shao's words, he was silent for a moment, and finally bowed his head and said in return: "Thank you for your advice."

With the end of this game, this Go league has finally come to an end.

In the crowd, the referee took a deep breath, glanced at Yu Shao, then glanced at Su Yiming, and finally said, "Then, in this extra blitz game, White loses due to timeout."

"The champion of this year's high school Go league is - Jiangling No. 1 High School!"

After the referee finished speaking, there was still no reaction from the audience. It seemed that everyone was still immersed in the game of chess and had not yet come to their senses.

From the three-three corner move in the opening stage, to the new corner support move, to the white pieces giving up pieces, to the fierce competition between the black and white sides in the middle game...

Every move made by both sides still deeply shocked them until now!

The referee suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he was not surprised. He watched the whole game of chess, so he could fully understand the mixed feelings of everyone at this moment.

It can even be said that after serving as a referee for so many high school Go leagues, he was feeling the most complicated at this moment.

Everything that happened in this high school Go league was completely beyond expectations.

With two young players aiming for the title, Huanan No. 3 Middle School should have been the strongest contender for the championship. However, it was eliminated in the semi-finals. The ones that made it to the finals were Guangnan Affiliated Middle School and Jiangling No. 1 Middle School, which had been at the bottom of previous competitions.

In the final, the two schools won one and lost one. As a result, the third table, by chance, got out of a rare three-disaster cycle, and it was judged as a draw, and an extra game was played.

And in this extra game, it was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Both sides presented them with a wonderful chess game that they were destined to never forget.

Even though the game was over, the sound of the moves still seemed to ring in my ears, and it still shocked me even now! "This is Go..."

“The chessboard is so small, but it seems so big that it can contain everything in the world.”

“The moment a chess piece falls, there are more possibilities than all the atoms in the universe combined.”

"Every move is the result of the players' hard work and sweat. That is why the battle between two players on the chessboard is so exciting."

"It was like this a hundred years ago, it was like this a thousand years ago, it will be like this a hundred years from now, and it should be like this a thousand years from now..."

“It’s really very emotional.”

"No matter how many Go Leagues are held in the future, I'm afraid no one will forget this one..."

The referee took a deep breath, stopped thinking about all these random things, cleared his throat, coughed lightly, and spoke again to remind everyone: "Everyone, it's getting late, and it's still raining heavily outside. Go back early."

After hearing what the referee said, some people finally began to leave in silence. When they walked out of the competition venue, they all felt an inexplicable sense of loss in their hearts.

The captain of South China No. 3 Middle School looked at the heavy rain and suddenly shook his head.

He no longer felt the slightest bit of resentment for losing to Yu Shao in the previous match.

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to play this game of chess in my lifetime..."

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"If I can play chess like this, there's no need for me to quit the dojo."

…………

Inside the competition venue.

Yu Shao finally stood up from his chair and turned his head to look. Chen Jiaming, Xu Zijin and Zhong Yufei were all looking at him with complicated eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you all staring at me?"

Yu Shao adjusted the atmosphere and said with a smile: "I have already won the championship, don't brag about me, this game was not easy at all."

"Old Yu, there is already a pathetically thick barrier between us."

Zhou De patted Yu Shao on the shoulder and consoled him: "Although you tried your best to catch up with me, there is still a long distance between you and me. That Snickers bar is just a comfort to you. Don't be discouraged!"

"really."

Yu Shao nodded, frankly acknowledging the gap between him and Zhou De, and said, "Victory or defeat is not only determined on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard, and you, my friend, are unmatched in this respect."

Chen Jiaming glanced at Yu Shao, then at Su Yiming who was still sitting in the chair, looking at the chess game. After a moment of silence, he pushed his glasses and said, "Okay, it's late, let's go home quickly."

After hearing this, several people finally left the competition venue.

"Hey, doesn't the champion get a prize?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just after walking out of the competition venue, Zhou De seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked at Chen Jiaming with wide eyes and asked, "Teacher, where is the prize money? The champion will get 3,000 yuan each!"

"This is a competition hosted by the Municipal Education Bureau. We have to wait for the referee to report the results to the Education Bureau. The prize money and certificates will not be issued until Monday at the earliest."

Chen Jiaming glanced at Zhou De and said with a smile: "Why are you only asking about the bonus and not why the certificate hasn't been issued?"

"Without a bonus, the certificate is just a piece of paper."

Zhou De began to vent outrageous remarks: "Only bonuses can give the certificate meaning."

Just as Chen Jiaming was about to open his mouth to correct Zhou De's wrong values, he was suddenly stunned and stopped walking. Yu Shao and the other three also stopped where they were.

In front of the five people were Zheng Qin and the two young men who had been following Zheng Qin.

Zheng Qin looked at Yu Shao and was silent for a long time before he said, "Congratulations, you won the championship."

Yu Shao nodded and said, "Thank you."

Zheng Qin fell silent again.

After a long time, Zheng Qin finally spoke again and said, "The game just now really was beyond my expectations..."

Zheng Qin stopped talking halfway and looked at Yu Shao with a confused look on his face.

He originally thought that although he could see the gap between himself and Yu Shao was huge, as long as he became a professional chess player and honed his skills, he would be able to compete with Yu Shao one day.

He was very confident in his talent. After all, he had never received any professional training in a dojo. It was just a hobby of his, but he had already reached a professional level.

However, after watching the game of chess just now, he felt confused and realized that the gap between the two of them was probably much greater than he had imagined.

It even made him feel...powerless and out of reach.

After a moment, Zheng Qin suddenly let out a long breath, shook his head, and said to Yu Shao, Xu Zijin, and Zhong Yufei with a smile: "Nothing, anyway, congratulations on winning the championship."

After saying that, Zheng Qin turned and left. The two young men behind Zheng Qin looked at Yu Shao with complicated expressions and immediately followed him.

Zhou De was confused and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Shao, asking curiously: "Old Yu, who is he? Why is he so weird?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Yu Shao silently watched the backs of Zheng Qin and the other two leaving, shook his head, evaded the question, and said, "The rain is getting heavier, hurry up and take a taxi back, it will be too late later and even a taxi will be hard to get."
