Among the chess players who came from all over the world to participate in the competition, only those who came for the sake of being there have left early.
Those who have some strength and have survived three or four games basically stay on the American side.
One reason is because they are going to attend the final awards ceremony.
The second reason was that there was a severe snowstorm before, so the flights were grounded.
Many people couldn't leave.
Therefore, these people were the first to know that Qiu Shui was going to play chess with Yusuke Yamada.
As for how others knew.
That's the credit of those media reporters.
This time, in the Chess God Cup competition, after Lou Yuchen and Yusuke Yamada finished playing chess. It's basically the end.
There was basically nothing to watch in the final.
Unexpectedly, such an unexpected surprise suddenly appeared.
Qiu Shui is actually not very famous in the international Go community.
He is quite famous in the Go community in China.
But it is not big enough to be compared with Lou Yuchen.
In fact, he is not as good as Liang Zitao.
After all, although Qiu Shui won the Hualong Cup and defeated many professional chess players.
However, many of the professional chess players at that time did not actually have very high ranks.
Those with high ranks, in fact, are not the strongest among those of the same rank.
In addition, news broke out at the time that Qiu Shui was able to win the competition because he bought it with money.
Therefore, in fact, many high-ranking chess players in the Chinese Go world do not recognize Qiu Shui.
I feel like Qiu Shui's fame was all created by himself.
Only those chess players who have played against Qiu Shui know how terrifying Qiu Shui is.
But now there is news that Qiusui will play chess with Yusuke Yamada, the number one chess player in Sakura Country and number two in the world.
How can this not be surprising?
At this time, in China, it was already evening time.
However, as soon as the news spread back to China, many chess players and netizens flocked into the live broadcast room.
Internet users in other countries do not know about Go and are not interested in it.
I had no interest at first.
However, after getting to know Yusuke Yamada and knowing his identity and strength. I became interested immediately.
Not to mention those professional Go players who are already in the professional Go world or those who like Go.
China.
"Have you heard that Qiu Shui is going to fight with Yusuke Yamada?"
"What war?"
"Stupid, let's play chess. That Yusuke Yamada has come to Qiu Shui in person, and it's being broadcast live now. Qiu Shui plays white, and that Yusuke Yamada plays black."
"No way, if he plays with white, he will lose his inherent advantage. And Yusuke Yamada is very powerful. Shusui seems to be just average, so where does Shusui get the courage to play chess with Yusuke Yamada?"
"There's news that Yusuke Yamada heard that Qiu Shui's chess skills were better than Lou Shen's. He even beat Lou Shen, so Yusuke Yamada approached Qiu Shui."
"Better than Lou Shen in chess? What a joke. If he was stronger, would he still be eliminated? And I heard that the previous champion of the Hualong Cup also bought his money. Playing chess with Yusuke Yamada, isn't that just asking for trouble?"
"The person above, if you don't understand, don't pretend to understand. That Qiu Shui is really good at chess."
"Yes, Qiu Shui is indeed very strong. I played a game of chess with him before. His strength is definitely not worse than those professional chess players with titles in our country."
…
In China, people are half optimistic and half pessimistic about the war between Qiu Shui and Yusuke Yamada.
Foreign chess players are different.
Because they had never heard of Qiu Shui.
Some people even bluntly said that it was a mistake for Qiu Shui and Yusuke Yamada to play chess.
United States.
"Who is that Qiu Shui? How dare he play chess with Yusuke Yamada? Is there something wrong with his brain?"
"He said he beat Lou Yuchen. This is a joke."
"How did he have the courage to play chess with Yusuke Yamada?"
"Oh my god, that Qiu Shui must be crazy to do such a stupid thing."
Star-Spangled Nation.
"That Qiu Shui couldn't have really defeated Lou Yuchen, could he?"
"What a joke, hype, this must be hype."
"A professional first dan and a professional ninth dan playing chess? Are you sure this is not a joke?"
Cherry Blossom Country.
"Is Yamada-kun crazy? He actually played chess with a first-dan professional chess player. That's simply bullying. It loses the spirit of the samurai of our Great Sakura Country."
"What's a first dan? I haven't heard him admit that he beat Lou Shen. So he must be very strong. It's very good that Yamada-kun has the courage to challenge him."
"It's fake. How could that person be better than Lou Shen? Yamada-kun must have been deceived."
"But what if what he said is true? If Yamada-kun really beat him, then it means that Yamada is actually stronger than that Lou Yuchen. Losing the game was just an accident."
"Whether it's true or not, Yamada-kun must not lose."
"That's right. Yamada-kun lost the game before, and the neighboring Kimchi country has been laughing at us. Yamada-kun, let them see your strength. Use your strength to shut up the Kimchi country."
Kimchi country.
"Haha, is that Yusuke Yamada crazy? He actually challenged a professional beginner player?"
"I told you that the chess players in Sakura Country are of low quality. Now you believe me, don't you?"
"That Chinese chess player is the same. Why is he lying? It's hard to beat the tiger now, right?"
"The above poster, let me correct you. It's hard to get off the tiger. And I checked. Qiu Shui is very strong. He has defeated many powerful chess players in our country."
"It's better to be powerful. It would be best if we could beat Yusuke Yamada from Sakura Country until he pees all over the place."
"I would like to correct the above comment. That's called pissing and pissing. Although I support your statement, if you don't know how to use Chinese idioms, please don't use them randomly. It will make you look uncultured."
Akisui and Yusuke Yamada cannot see these storms on the Internet.
At this moment, their minds are all on this game of chess.
Coincidentally, not long after Qiu Shui sat down, the system's show-off wealth task was triggered.
Moreover, this mission is a super show-off mission.
The task is to let him show his "wealth" in Go in front of players all over the world.
A successful mission will reward you with a super lottery.
The reward this time is a super lottery. Any lottery with the word "super" in it is not simple.
The punishment for mission failure is annihilation.
When Qiu Shui heard the punishment for this mission, he was so happy.
It turns out that Yusuke Yamada came to send him a reward.
Yusuke Yamada originally wanted to be courteous due to his status as a senior.
After all, Qiu Shui's rank at this time was indeed too low.
Yusuke Yamada, a professional 9th dan, fights against a professional 1st dan.
Even if I win, I can save some face. But it doesn’t sound very nice to say it out loud.
But Qiu Shui refused.
So the two chose to guess first.
This time, Qiu Shui guessed wrong as usual.
It's strange.
Ever since Qiu Shui started playing Go, he has mostly played with white. I rarely play black.
Only in the system space, when playing against the old man, will you play black.
The two players' ranks were originally very different, and Qiu Shui also lost his inherent advantage as the black chess piece.
To outsiders, he was simply courting death.
There was no way that Yusuke Yamada could win.
Unless, he really has the strength to surpass Lou Yuchen as he said.
As soon as the game started, Yusuke Yamada's chess pieces came with endless pressure, sweeping towards Qiu Shui's white chess pieces.
Qiu Shui's white chess pieces performed mediocrely.
No, it can’t be said to be mediocre.
Even played like a beginner.
It was a mess, and there was no trace of any trajectory or moves at all.
After seeing Qiu Shui's move, Yusuke Yamada raised his eyebrows.
But he didn't say much.
He had watched Qiu Shui play more than a dozen games of chess before.
At the beginning, although the autumn water was a bit bad, it was not as bad as it is today.
Qiu Shui's chess game often turns defeat into victory in the end.
Moreover, it was exactly the same move that Lou Yuchen had used before.
The seemingly random and disorganized chess pieces are actually traps set by Qiu Shui to confuse his prey.
Therefore, after seeing the mess made by Qiu Shui, Yusuke Yamada did not relax his vigilance at all. Instead, he became more alert.
The media reporters who were watching the live broadcast or standing nearby to observe the game saw Qiu Shui's chess players.
They all showed mocking expressions.
The media reporters at the scene kept silent in order not to disturb the two people playing chess.
However, those people in the live broadcast room don’t have so many concerns.
"What the hell is this Qiu Shui? Didn't he say he was stronger than Lou Yuchen? Is that all?"
"God, my niece plays chess better than him."
"This Chinese chess player plays terribly. Any beginner chess player can play better than him. I doubt how he got his rank."
"Although I am Chinese and only an amateur chess player, Qiu Shui's performance was really terrible. I can't cheer for him with a clear conscience."
"What Hualong Cup champion? Pah! Just look at this chess piece, it's obvious that it was bought. I suspected that there was something fishy about the Hualong Cup champion. Now look, I was right."
"Can this Chinese Qiu Shui Oppa really beat that Sakura Country guy? If he said he beat Lou Shen Oppa, is he lying?"
When Yusuke Ichiro saw the chess move made by Qiu Shui, he was also a little confused.
He had also seen Qiu Shui's chess game.
He even personally experienced a similar chess game with Lou Yuchen.
That terrible feeling still remains in my heart.
However, whether it is Qiu Shui or Lou Yuchen.
When the pieces are first laid out, they appear to be in a mess, but they are actually very regular. You can see it if you observe carefully.
However, the chess moves Qiu Shui made at this time were so chaotic that there was no discernible pattern or method.
It looks like a child playing chess randomly.
It's simply disgusting.
What on earth is going on in this autumn water?
With every chess piece that Qiu Shui placed, Yusuke Yamada's brows furrowed even more.
After another ten moves, Qiu Shui's chess was still disorganized.
Yusuke Yamada finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He was originally calm, but now there was a rare hint of anger in his eyes.
He glared at Qiu Shui and asked, "Mr. Qiu, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? Mr. Yusuke, I don't understand what you mean."
Qiu Shui's expression was lazy, but when he made his move, he was elegant, firm, and without hesitation.
Seemingly casual, but not casual.
This gesture made Yusuke Yamada feel choked up.
He criticized harshly, "Mr. Qiu Shui, I hope you can take our game seriously. Go is not something you can treat casually."
Although Yusuke Yamada has his own little thoughts.
But when it comes to Go, his attitude is still very correct.
Moreover, because of his love for Go, he would not allow anyone to tarnish Go.
Even if that person is his son, he is not allowed to do so.
Yusuke Ichiro thought he didn't know he was provoking. Instigating him.
In fact, Yusuke Yamada knows everything.
It was only because he also wanted to get the answer in his heart that he chose to take advantage of the situation.
Besides, he also has to save face.
He originally said that he wanted to take back the title of chess god.
In the end, he lost to Lou Yuchen again.
This led to widespread condemnation in the country.
Fortunately, things are no longer the same as before, otherwise, he would probably have committed seppuku.
So, in fact, Yusuke Yamada also wanted to use Qiu Shui to regain his face at home and abroad.
Of course, that is based on the premise that Qiu Shui has the strength to match Lou Yuchen.
Although Qiu Shui is too weak and far inferior to his strength.
Then, the effect that Yusuke Yamada wanted could not be achieved at all.
He might even be attacked and accused of bullying the weak.
Even though Qiu Shui personally admitted before the game that he was better than Lou Yuchen.
However, Qiusui's strength is too weak, and Yusuke Yamada will also be implicated.
What's more, Yusuke Yamada also wants to know whether Lou Yuchen really learned something from Qiu Shui.
Is it possible that Lou Yuchen’s chess skills have improved because of Qiu Shui?
Therefore, Yusuke Yamada, more than anyone else, hopes that Qiu Shui will give his full strength.
"random?"
Akisui found the anger in Yusuke Yamada's eyes very amusing.
This person came to see him, so he must have seen him play chess.
I've seen him play chess, but I still feel confused by his opening moves.
I don’t know if it’s because his chess skills have improved recently, or if Yusuke Yamada’s chess skills are too different from his.
"Mr. Yusuke, I've always been serious."
Having said that, Qiu Shui held a white chess piece in his right hand and continued to place his pieces leisurely, as if he didn't care about Yusuke Yamada's move at all.
This attitude angered Yusuke Yamada.
As a senior in the Go world, he is respected by other players wherever he goes.
Even Lou Yuchen was not as frivolous and casual towards him as Qiu Shui.
However, Yusuke Yamada never thought about how this game of chess came about.
He forced Qiu Shui to do this.
He was forced to play chess, and by a senior Go master in front of so many reporters.
Even the best-tempered person can get angry.
Besides, Qiu Shui was not angry, he just had a casual attitude.
No disrespect to him. At least every question is answered.
However, Yusuke Yamada felt that Qiu Shui did not take him seriously.
Therefore, he had a very bad impression of Qiu Shui and even began to doubt Qiu Shui's chess skills.
After all, a chess player's moves often represent that person's character and personality.
And this person's character and personality also represent his chess skills.
"Since you don't know how to respect me, then I won't be polite."
“Pah…”
Yusuke Yamada's black pieces began to fall with great momentum.
Launched an attack.
"Haha, he's been fooled. He's been fooled."
The system danced with joy.
The system has watched Qiu Shui play hundreds of games of chess.
I can say that I am very familiar with Qiu Shui's chess.
Now, as long as Qiu Shui makes the slightest movement, it knows what Qiu Shui wants to do.
Seeing Yusuke Yamada's attack, Qiu Shui laughed inwardly.
Qiu Shui held a white chess piece in his right hand and said to Xiongjie Yamada, "You came to play chess with me, probably because you want to know whether Lou Yuchen learned chess from me, right?"
“Pah…”
Yusuke Yamada looked up at Qiu Shui and said, "That's right."
Then a black piece fell.
“No matter how much you talk, it won’t be clearer than practice.”
“Pah…”
The white chess piece landed next to the black chess piece.
There was suddenly something strange in Yusuke Yamada's eyes.
Why did the white chess piece fall here?
If we fall here, wouldn't that be courting death?
The chess players who were watching the live broadcast didn't understand either.
"Young dad? Is this white chess piece seeking death?"
"Yes, if this chess piece falls here, wouldn't it be like sending oneself into the tiger's mouth?"
"Is that Chinese chess player panicking? How could he make such a stupid move?"
Only those chess players who have played against Qiu Shui understand the intention of Qiu Shui's move.
Among them are Bai Yan, He Ran and others.
"Heh, did you see the expression on Yusuke Yamada's face? He's confused." Bai Yan gloated, "Brother He, do you think he will be fooled?"
"meeting."
These words were not said by He Ran, but by Fang Jun who was sitting next to him.
He stared closely at the chess game on the screen and said, "That Yusuke Yamada didn't realize the trap set by Qiu Shui at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed the black chess piece next to Qiu Shui's white chess piece."
"You seem to know a lot about uncle's chess." He Ran said in surprise.
Fang Jun held the back of He Ran's hand, patted it gently, and said, "You forgot, I played chess with him before in the Hualong Cup."
That game of chess left a very deep impression on Fang Jun!
After all, Qiu Shui showed no mercy at that time.
Bobby and Edward, who had wanted to cause trouble in the private restaurant because they had accepted Qin Ze's money, now had complicated expressions on their faces.
They both have good chess skills, but unfortunately, they were unable to participate in the Chess God Cup.
This is a pity.
However, they have been paying attention to the news about the Chess God Cup.
When they saw Qiu Shui on the list of players for the Chess God Cup.
I still feel a little scared for some reason.
Later, when they heard that Qiu Shui had given up the competition, they were also gloating.
Now, seeing that Yusuke Yamada was going to play chess with Qiu Shui, they certainly hoped that Yusuke Yamada could beat Qiu Shui and teach Qiu Shui a lesson.
However, Bobby noticed something was wrong.
"No, no, that's not right. Qiu Shui did this just to trick Yusuke Yamada. He must not be fooled."
Poppy is on Yusuke Yamada's side.
He was a bit fat before.
Ever since I came back from China, I haven't been able to eat or sleep well. And also be laughed at by other chess players.
So, it was a lot of stress, which led to a lot of weight loss.
I have changed from a fat man to a thin man.
After Edwin came back from China, he was a little depressed.
But he is not under as much pressure as Poppy.
After all, Bobby was the mastermind behind that incident.
But he wasn't having a good time either.
After all, it was extremely embarrassing when the news of losing to an amateur chess player in China was reported back to China.
As a result, he was also banned by the club.
Now seeing Qiu Shui actually playing chess with Yusuke Yamada, he had the same thought as Bobby, hoping that Yusuke Yamada could win.
Teach Qiu Shui a lesson.
As the person involved, Qiu Shui certainly had no idea how many people behind the scenes wanted him to lose the game.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't take it to heart.
Yusuke Ichiro, who was standing aside, did not see through Qiu Shui's intention.
Because he has always been standing in the position of his father's chess piece.
Therefore, his vision and senses also follow his father.
“Pah…”
Yusuke Yamada hesitated for a long time before finally dropping the black piece in his hand.
He thought about this step for a long time and took it carefully after looking at the overall situation.
Because he really didn't understand why Qiu Shui's move ended up on his territory.
But his intuition was very sharp. Plus, he had seen Qiu Shui play many games of chess before.
I know that when Qiu Shui is luring prey, he likes to use similar tricks the most.
So, he did not continue to chase Qiu Shui, but instead avoided him.
The chess piece landed in another place.
After seeing this scene, Bai Yan and others looked regretful.
Bobby and the others looked relieved.
Those who do not understand are confused.
I don't understand why Yusuke Yamada would give up on catching such a good prey.
Instead, he turned around and went somewhere else.
Yusuke Yamada thought he had avoided Shusui's trap.
However, he didn't know that his reaction was exactly what Qiu Shui wanted.
Qiu Shui had already predicted that he would do this.
So, Qiu Shui raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He glanced at Xiongjie Yamada and said to him, "Do you know why you lost to Lou Yuchen that day?"
Yusuke Yamada was stunned after hearing this, and then looked at Qiu Shui with sharp eyes.
Qiu Shui gracefully raised his right hand holding the white chess piece.
"That's because he used my chess pieces, and my chess pieces are only the strongest in my hands."
“Pah…”
The white chess piece fell directly in the middle of the chessboard, among the scattered and disorganized white chess pieces.
After the white chess piece fell, Yusuke Yamada's eyes suddenly widened.
The pupils constrict.
In his eyes, the fallen white chess piece was like the magic needle that stabilizes the sea in Chinese legend.
It plays a connecting role.
He actually connected all the scattered chess pieces together.
A big net was formed.
And the well-thought-out move made by Yusuke Yamada just now suddenly became a wall nail for the white chess pieces to set up their trap.
Not only did it fail to help its own chess piece escape, but it also blocked its own chess piece's path.
This makes a large area of black chess pieces become trapped beasts in the net.
Seeing this scene, Yusuke Yamada was so shocked that his pupils began to tremble.
His chess pieces trapped his own chess pieces?
How could this happen? Why did this happen?
It was as if Qiu Shui had already anticipated that his chess piece would land there.
I knew it dozens of times ago.
This familiar feeling was just like the feeling he had when he fought against Lou Yuchen.
No, it was even stronger than what I felt from Lou Yuchen.
Yusuke Yamada immediately placed a black chess piece in an attempt to save the situation.
However, every time Qiu Shui made a white move, his brows furrowed more and more.
Then, in this cold winter, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
With every step Yusuke Yamada took, he felt more shocked.
Because he found that every move he made seemed to be known in advance by the other party.
Instead of saving himself, his chess pieces gradually became accomplices of the ferocious beast that was strangling his own throat.
Let yourself be trapped in your own web and cut off your own retreat.
Even if Yusuke Yamada knew all this, he would not be able to control it.
That feeling is horrible.
It was like there was a puppeteer behind him and he was the puppet in the puppeteer's hands.
The other party had complete control over everything about him.
Yusuke Yamada, who was usually calm and composed, felt a chill on his back and the hairs on his hands stood up.
“Pah…”
“Pah…”
The sound of the pieces falling was like a judgment from hell.
Pulling him into the depths of hell step by step. So that he couldn't turn over.
As Yusuke Yamada's moves became increasingly stiff, Qiu Shui remained calm.
There was no trace of complacency about the impending victory.
Instead, he made the last few moves more seriously.
"Mr. Xiongjie, you are the only one besides Lou Yuchen who can hold on until the end in my hands."
"What a pity, we are still far from it."
Qiusui seemed to be talking to Yusuke Yamada, but also seemed to be muttering to himself.
The first sentence was spoken to Yusuke Yamada, and the second sentence was actually spoken by Qiusui to himself.
He tried his best.
But he still managed to finish with Yusuke Yamada.
If it were the old man, he would have been able to end the game in the middle game.
Therefore, the gap between him and the old man is still visible.
However, Yusuke Yamada, the people around him, and the people in the various live broadcast rooms all thought that Qiu Shui was saying that Yusuke Yamada was still far from it.
This sentence made Yusuke Yamada a little angry and embarrassed.
So, he made a final struggle with all his might.
However, none of them had any effect.
Finally, when the white chess piece delivered the fatal blow.
The chess piece in Yusuke Yamada's hand slipped, and he slumped in the chair with a deathly pale face.
