I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 291: How will they play this game of chess?
Evening, Gangneung.

In a quiet chess room, Zhuang Weisheng and Zhuang Fei were sitting opposite each other.

"There is something wrong with this move here."

Zhuang Weisheng pointed at a black piece on the chessboard and said slowly, "You were too eager to counterattack. This move may seem harsh, directly cutting the white piece into two isolated pieces, but in fact, your own chess skills have also revealed flaws."

After saying this, Zhuang Weisheng made another change on the chessboard.

"If this move is changed to digging, it can cut off the connection of my white piece. If the white piece tries to break free, the black piece can take the opportunity to suppress the white piece."

"Although the white pieces are not in danger of death, their potential for development is limited."

Zhuang Fei listened attentively to Zhuang Weisheng's words, looked at the chessboard, and watched Zhuang Weisheng make another change, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

"And here, you played too steadily. Although you avoided a complicated battle, your constant retreat also allowed Baizi to gain a lot of advantages. If——"

At this moment, Zhuang Weisheng's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting his words.

Zhuang Weisheng's voice suddenly stopped. He took out his cell phone, glanced at the caller's name, answered the call, and asked, "Hello?"

"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, I... want to show you a chess record."

A young voice rang out from the other end of the line. After saying this, he was silent for a moment before adding, "It was a game between Yu Shao 2nd Dan and Pan Xi 8th Dan in the national championship today."

Hearing the name "Yu Shao", Zhuang Fei was startled and couldn't help but look up at Zhuang Weisheng.

Zhuang Weisheng didn't ask any more questions this time. He said to the phone, "Send it to me."

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."

The young man on the other end of the phone finished speaking and hung up in a hurry.

After a while, Zhuang Weisheng's cell phone vibrated and he received a chess score.

Zhuang Weisheng put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, then opened the chess record file. After looking at the record for a while, he finally reached into the chess box, picked up the chess piece, and slowly placed it on the chessboard.

Da da da……

On the other side, Zhuang Fei looked at the chessboard seriously and soon saw that the black and white sides had made the same layout as the previous game. After the black pieces were removed, the white pieces were hung high one space, the black pieces were clamped high two spaces, and the white pieces jumped...

But as he watched, Zhuang Fei's expression was shocked.

In this game, the black pieces moved very quickly and actually found the weakness of the white pieces' play. They also realized the black pieces' advantage and directly started to move in a large space to swallow up the white pieces with their strong momentum.

But as he watched Zhuang Weisheng continuously pick up chess pieces and place them on the chessboard, Zhuang Fei's expression quickly changed.

"This……"

As more and more chess pieces fell on the board, Zhuang Fei's expression became more and more unbelievable!
Zhuang Fei stared at the chessboard in disbelief, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"Kuroko's movement is very fast, but it seems... it seems that it is not as easy to move as expected. It turns out that..."

Zhuang Fei stared at the chessboard in front of him, and for a moment he was a little incoherent: "I actually failed to successfully build the big sky?!"

This time, facing Zhuang Fei's question, Zhuang Weisheng did not answer, but just kept picking up the chess pieces and dropping them, and continued to arrange the chess pieces.

Finally, when the last white piece fell on the chessboard, the game stopped abruptly, and Zhuang Weisheng's action of picking up the chess piece also finally stopped.

Obviously, at this point, the outcome is decided, and Black has no chance of recovery. The gap is irreparable, and any further moves would only waste each other's time, so the only option is to resign!
Zhuang Weisheng looked at the crisscrossing chess pieces on the chessboard without saying a word, his brows subconsciously furrowed.

……

……

After finishing this round of national player competition, Yu Shao did not go to school, but rested at home for two days. On the third day, he received a call from the chess academy.

"The commander will be selected the day after tomorrow?" Yu Shao asked.

"Correct."

The staff on the other end of the phone immediately explained: "Although the team competition is a best-of-three match, it doesn't matter who plays first, second, or even fifth."

"However, usually both sides still agree to arrange the positions from first to fifth according to chess strength, so the chess academy has to arrange a main general selection competition."

"Of course, this is not a formal competition, but an internal qualifying competition arranged by the chess academy. It is not counted towards the results, and there is no match fee."

Yu Shao thanked him: "Okay, I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome."

The staff member smiled and quickly hung up the phone.

Yu Shao put down his phone and stared at the chessboard. After a moment, he finally reached into the chess box, picked up the white piece from the chessboard, and gently placed it on the chessboard.

This is a game played by Su Yiming and Yin Qisheng in the Grand Chess Tournament not long ago.

"This jump is really... wonderful."

Yu Shao lowered his eyes and stared at the white piece he had just placed on the chessboard.

He was also unable to see this move, which was bursting with the chess player's spiritual light, carrying the pure and strong energy of heaven and earth, and the mysterious light of the stars, and directly defeated the black piece with one move.

After a moment, Yu Shao put all the chess pieces on the chessboard back into the chess box, then picked out more chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.

This is another game played by Su Yiming in the Grand Chess Tournament.

The opponent is Cao Hanyu, 8th dan.

"This hand clamp may seem like an offensive move, but it is more of a way to coordinate the overall situation..."

……

……

Two days passed quickly.

In the Southern Chess Academy, in an empty game room, there were only Qin Lang, Le Haoqiang, and Gu Chuan. They were eating breakfast and chatting.

"I originally thought I might be up against Che Wenyu, but Che Wenyu unexpectedly lost to Zhou Wei."

Gu Chuan was chewing on a dough stick while talking about the team competition selection with a smile: "In the game with Zhou Wei, I thought I was going to lose, but suddenly an idea came to me, and my move was really amazing!"

"self boasting."

Qin Lang glanced at Gu Chuan and said, "Didn't you lose to Le Haoqiang later? Che Wenyu beat Le Haoqiang."

"Depend on!"

Hearing this, Gu Chuan couldn't help but glared at Qin Lang: "Can't you even let me show off?"

Le Haoqiang couldn't help but twitch his lips, looked at Qin Lang, and asked: "How did you manage to offend two people with one sentence?"

"You won't let people tell the truth?"

Qin Lang took a sip of soy milk and said to Gu Chuan, "After watching the chess game between Yu Shao and Su Yiming, shouldn't you feel that you are inadequate because you almost lost to Zhou Wei?"

Hearing this, Gu Chuan and Le Haoqiang fell silent for a moment.

Gu Chuan lay in front of the window, looking at the gloomy sky, took a bite of a fried dough stick, and suddenly said in an inexplicable tone: "Today's game will determine who will be the main general."

"To be honest, I do admire them a little. They are both so strong. It's hard to believe that one day I would sincerely admire two people of my age."

Hearing Gu Chuan's words, Qin Lang frowned slightly and said, "There must be a limit to admiring people, otherwise you will never be able to defeat them."

"I know."

Gu Chuan said in a strange tone, "I do want to beat them, but I also want to see them make moves that are beyond my reach and defeat me easily."

Hearing this, Qin Lang and Le Haoqiang were stunned for a moment.

“I thought I was a masochist.”

Gu Chuan smiled, looked out the window, and said, "I want to see a skill that is far better than mine. Which one is it..."

“I want to see what kind of chess game this chess game that is beyond my reach is like.”

"If I want to see such a move, if I want such a game of chess, the price is that I will never be able to beat them in my life, then I am willing to do it."

After he finished speaking, Gu Chuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Why is the weather so bad today? It's so stuffy. Is it going to rain?"

Qin Lang and Le Haoqiang both knew that Gu Chuan was trying to change the subject, but they didn't point it out and just looked at the sky outside the window.

The weather in Jiangling is really not very good today. It is overcast and the whole world seems to be shrouded in a layer of gray. It looks like it will probably rain heavily today.

Maybe it was because of the bad weather that caused some depression, but the three of them suddenly became depressed, eating breakfast in silence and no longer talking.

Not long after, the door of the game room was suddenly pushed open with a "click", and then a figure walked into the room.

The three of them immediately looked towards the door, thinking that it was Yu Shao or Su Yiming who had arrived. However, when they saw who it was clearly, they were all slightly startled.

The person who walked into the game room was a sturdy man in a suit and tie with a bald head. The three of them were familiar with the name of this sturdy man. "Teacher Lu Bo."

Le Haoqiang was the first to say hello, and after Qin Lang and Gu Chuan reacted, they also hurriedly said hello.

Lu Bo glanced at the three of them, nodded at them, then found a chess table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

After a while, the door of the game room was pushed open again, and then a man in his thirties, thin, and wearing a suit walked into the room.

Le Haoqiang and the other two recognized the identity of the person almost instantly.

Hong Leju, 9th dan.

Seeing Lu Bo sitting down in the game room, Hong Leju couldn't help but laugh and said, "Teacher Lu Bo, you came earlier than me?"

Lu Bo took out a cigarette case from his pocket, handed a cigarette to Hong Leju, and said with a smile: "My home is closer to the chess academy."

Hong Leju took the cigarette, sat down opposite Lu Bo, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette, took a deep puff, exhaled slowly, and said, "The weather is really bad today."

Lu Bo also took a puff of his cigarette and said with a headache, "Indeed, it's not really going to rain, is it? I didn't bring an umbrella when I went out."

Seeing this scene, Le Haoqiang and the other two couldn't help but look at each other.

Apart from the main player selection match between Yu Shao and Su Yiming, there were no matches in this game room today. Therefore, the answer to why Hong Leju and Lu Bo came to this game room was obvious.

You know, both Hong Leju and Lu Bona were the title holders in previous years. If they continue to attack for the title this year, no one would be surprised if the title holder changed to either of them.

At this time, another man in his thirties wearing glasses walked into the game room.

After seeing Hong Leju and Lu Bo, the man was stunned, then his brows frowned, with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Teacher Luo Yaoguang, you are here too?"

Lu Bo greeted him with a smile and said, "I heard that you won the game against Ruan Min, 8th Dan, very beautifully yesterday."

"Teacher Lu Bo, you also defeated Teacher Li Jun beautifully, didn't you?"

Luo Yaoguang pulled out a chair and sat down at another chess table. He pushed his glasses and said, "It seems that Mr. Lu Bo is in good shape this year. What a coincidence. My shape seems to be not bad either."

Le Haoqiang and the other two could clearly feel that after Luo Yaoguang said this, the atmosphere in the game room suddenly became tense.

Luo Yaoguang won the celebrity title four years ago, but the title was taken away by Lu Bo the following year. Since then, the two have not gotten along well and have been competing with each other for several years.

After a while, a thin man with sharp eyes walked into the game room.

"Chen Shan, ninth dan..."

Seeing this man, Le Haoqiang and the other two were completely speechless.

Not long after, several more chess players walked into the game room one after another. There were both low-level and high-level players, both men and women. Zheng Qin, Xu Zijin and Wu Zhixuan were among them.

Whenever a chess player arrives at the door of the game room and finds that there are so many people in the room, a look of surprise appears on his face.

Finally, they all walked into the game room silently with their own thoughts and found a seat to sit down.

After a while, another figure appeared at the door of the game room. After seeing this figure clearly, Le Haoqiang and the other two were completely stunned.

Even Hong Leju, Lu Bo and others couldn't help showing surprise on their faces when they saw the newcomer.

"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, you are here too?"

Lu Bo greeted Zhuang Weisheng with some surprise: "It's been two months since the chess dispute."

Zhuang Weisheng nodded, walked to the chess table near Lu Bo, pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "I didn't expect to meet so many acquaintances here."

"I didn't expect that, but I understand."

Lu Bo slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "After watching their game in the Yingjiao Cup, I can't help but be curious about their next game."

"Their game at the Yingjiao Cup was undoubtedly a masterpiece of two talented players, just like the game between you, Mr. Zhuang Weisheng, and Mr. An Hongshi, which changed the course of Go."

Lu Bo flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "But, that was the chess game between you, Mr. Zhuang Weisheng, and Mr. An Hongshi, but they..."

At this point, Lu Bo smiled and did not continue. He took another puff of cigarette and slowly said, "How will they play this game of chess?"

Zhuang Weisheng was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "This is what I want to know."

Zhuang Weisheng and Lu Bo spoke in a very low voice. Except for Hong Leju who was sitting opposite Lu Bo, no one else could hear what they were saying.

However, seeing Zhuang Weisheng, Lu Bo, Hong Leju, Chen Shan and others appear in this game room, everyone felt a little uneasy.

Today's game, although a competition, is just a selection match within the chess academy. There is no game fee, and even the results are not included in the results...

As a result, the attention this game received exceeded everyone's imagination.

"What kind of game will this be?"

This question popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.

Finally, after a while, a figure at the door suddenly attracted everyone's attention, even Zhuang Weisheng couldn't help but look at the figure at the door.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Yiming walked into the game room. Seeing so many people in the room, his expression remained unchanged. He quickly walked to a chess table in the center of the room, pulled out a chair and sat down.

With the arrival of Su Yiming, the entire game room suddenly became much quieter.

After a while, Yu Shao finally arrived at the game room.

Yu Shao glanced towards the game room, his eyes passing over Zhuang Weisheng, Chen Shan, Xu Zijin, Wu Zhixuan, Zheng Qin... and finally locked onto Su Yiming.

Yu Shao retracted his gaze, walked to the opposite side of Su Yiming, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Seeing Yu Shao and Su Yiming sitting opposite each other, there was some whispering in the game room at first, but gradually the sound became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared completely.

Da da da……

The sound of raindrops hitting the ground began to be heard.

It finally rained in Jiangling today.

I don’t know if it was because it was a rainy day or for some other reason, but an inexplicable feeling of depression gradually filled the air.

……

……

"Why is it raining? I didn't even bring an umbrella. What a horrible weather."

On the corridor of the chess academy, Ma Zhengyu, who was soaked all over, cursed in his heart while walking quickly towards the game room where the captain of the team competition was selected.

He is responsible for being the referee of the main player selection match today. Since the main player selection match is not a main competition, he is the only referee for this match.

When he went out today, the weather was just a little gloomy, but he didn't expect the sky to become increasingly gray. At that time, he had a bad premonition in his heart and quickened his pace to the chess academy.

Unexpectedly, no matter how hard he tried, it started to rain when he was halfway there. When he arrived at the chess academy, his clothes and hair were already wet.

Not long after, Ma Zhengyu finally arrived at the door of the game room where the captain selection competition was held, and then he saw a large group of people in the game room, and even saw Zhuang Weisheng among them.

"What the hell?"

Ma Zhengyu was a little confused and quickly took a step back. He looked at the number of the game room and found that it was indeed number 5. Only then did he confirm that he had come to the right place.

Ma Zhengyu calmed himself down and finally walked into the game room. For some reason, he subconsciously slowed down his pace.

At this time, Zhuang Weisheng also noticed Ma Zhengyu and nodded slightly to him.

Logically speaking, Ma Zhengyu should say hello to Zhuang Weisheng, but feeling the silent and depressing atmosphere in the game room, Ma Zhengyu did not say anything, but just gestured to Zhuang Weisheng.

Ma Zhengyu came to the front of the chess room, glanced at Yu Shao and Su Yiming who were sitting opposite each other, then raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

There are five minutes left before the game starts.

These five minutes seemed particularly long.

Although there were many people in the game room, there was a breathtaking silence. The only sound was the sound of raindrops hitting the ground. The crisp sound was like the sound of chess pieces falling.

Everyone is waiting for these last five minutes.

Finally, five minutes passed.

Ma Zhengyu looked at Yu Shao and Su Yiming. It was just a tryout match, and he was even the only referee. But at this moment, he became inexplicably serious and said in a deep voice, "It's time for the game!"

"The game time is two hours for each side, with a one-minute countdown, and black has a handicap of seven and a half points."

Ma Zhengyu took a deep breath and actually felt a little pressure. He spoke again, "The order will be determined by guessing the first move. Now, the two players can start guessing the first move!"
