I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 309 The clash of chess players takes place only on the chessboard.
The final match between the main generals was decided by a stunning game of chess!

Higashiyama Kaoru, a great victory of seven and a half points!
Even after the game was over, everyone was still unable to tear their eyes away from it, deeply shocked and unable to extricate themselves.

After a long pause, Wu Shuheng finally spoke, asking, "He didn't get the title?"

"He didn't last year. Last year, he lost to Watanabe Hikaru in the Meijin title challenge."

A female chess player's voice was somewhat weak: "But this year... I don't know."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, looking at the other chess games that were still in progress.

"This game of chess..."

After a moment, Su Yiming suddenly looked at Yu Shao and asked, "Could it be considered a good game?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shao finally turned his gaze away from the television screen and looked at the chessboard in front of him.

After a moment, Yu Shao slowly answered, "It may be, it may not be."

If we set aside the flawed strategies and understandings in this game and simply look at the interplay between black and white in the middle and later stages, then this game can certainly be considered a good one.

Although Higashiyama Kaoru's performance in the middle and late stages of the game amazed him, the board position in the middle and late stages was still based on mistakes.

Upon hearing Yu Shao's answer, Su Yiming was taken aback, but he didn't show much surprise. He smiled faintly and said, "After watching this game, I'd really like to play a game with him."

"This may not be a good game, but it should be a wonderful game."

Su Yiming stared intently at Yu Shao and said, "So, the 'good game' you mentioned, besides being 'wonderful,' must have something else to it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shao couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Su Yiming.

Su Yiming stared at Yu Shao without saying a word.

The main battle was over, but the games at the other tables continued. However, after watching the main battle, everyone seemed a little distracted when looking at the other games.

After all, the game of the main general's battle was so amazing and shocking that, with that game as a shining example, the other games seemed rather dull.

In the final battle, Fujiwara Terashima and Park Ji-chang fought fiercely until the endgame. After both sides finished the endgame, Park Ji-chang lost to Fujiwara Terashima by half a point.

Next up was the five-player battle. To everyone's surprise, Onishi Kagekawa, who initially held a significant advantage, was ultimately outmaneuvered by Shen Zexu, who seized an opening and turned the tide, winning by three and a half points.

Next up was the four-player battle, a fierce 300-point duel between Bae Yoo-yeon and Murakami Shunichi, which ended with Murakami Shunichi's complete defeat and Bae Yoo-yeon winning by capturing Murakami's dragon in the middle game.

The score is now tied at 2-2, and the outcome of the match will depend on the three-way battle.

In this game, Jin Chaoen and Oda Takeshi fought fiercely to the endgame. Oda Takeshi was at a disadvantage at one point, but Jin Chaoen was ultimately defeated in the endgame. Oda Takeshi handled the endgame more delicately and finally won by one and a half points.

"It's over... Only Bae Yoo-yeon and Shin Taek-wook won for the North and South Korean teams."

Ma Zhengyu remained silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "Japan won 3-2 against North and South Korea, and the Japanese team has successfully avenged their loss this year."

Qin Lang, Le Haoqiang, and Gu Chuan stared at their respective chessboards without saying a word, while the others also wore complex expressions.

Although North and South Korea ultimately lost, their true strength was quite evident.

Especially Lee Jun-hyuk, even though he suffered a crushing defeat in the final game, he would never have been able to play such an astonishing game if he hadn't cornered Dongsan-hoon.

Go, in the end, requires two geniuses to play!
As Xu Zijin watched Pei Youyan's game, she couldn't help but grit her teeth slightly. Although the game between Dongshan Xun and Li Junhe was truly amazing, she was more focused on Pei Youyan, who was also a female Go player.

"Tomorrow is our match against North and South Korea."

Ma Zhengyu spoke again, saying, "Go back and get some rest, and do your best tomorrow."

Upon hearing Ma Zhengyu's words, the crowd fell silent and gradually turned to leave.

Yu Shao left the seminar room, took the elevator to the twelfth floor, and walked to the corner with Su Yiming. Just as they were about to part ways and go back to their respective rooms, Su Yiming suddenly spoke up: "Yu Shao."

Yu Shao stopped and turned to look at Su Yiming.

"The famous game you're referring to is completely different from all the previous games, isn't it?" Su Yiming asked.

Upon hearing this question, Yu Shao hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

"Then I agree with what you said."

After receiving Yu Shao's reply, Su Yiming finally turned around and walked towards his room without looking back.

With his back to Yu Shao, Su Yiming's expression turned somewhat cold as he spoke firmly, "In the past four thousand years, there has indeed not been a single game of chess that truly deserves the title of 'good'!"

……

……

The first day of the China-Japan-Korea team competition caused an almost unimaginable sensation. No one expected that the game between Lee Jun-hyuk and Higashiyama Kaoru would eventually reach this point.

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. Dongshan Xun sacrificed almost half of his white stones to finally defeat the black stones. This was by no means a lack of skill from Lee Jun-hyuk; on the contrary, it was proof of Lee Jun-hyuk's chess prowess.

Lee Jun-hyuk forced Dongsan-hoon to the point where he could only win by playing this particular move!

No one will forget what Yu Shao said at the opening ceremony of the team competition, and Dongshan Xun's game today is undoubtedly the most powerful response to that statement!
The battle of chess players takes place only on the chessboard!

This is a game that can be described as astonishing and extraordinary, even surpassing all the games that Higashiyama Kaoru had played before. Playing this game alone is enough to make him famous in the history of Go!
Tomorrow is the match between the Chinese team and the North and South Korean teams!
Everyone is waiting, waiting for tomorrow to arrive!
After a long night of waiting, everyone finally got through it.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yu Shao got dressed, washed up quickly, took the elevator to the seminar room, and went inside.

At this time, Ma Zhengyu, Le Haoqiang, and Qin Lang had already arrived in the seminar room, along with some of the accompanying chess players such as Xu Zijin and Zheng Qin. However, Su Yiming and Gu Chuan had not yet arrived.

Yu Shao entered the seminar room, and after waiting for a while, Gu Chuan and Su Yiming arrived one after the other.

Once everyone had arrived, Ma Zhengyu said in a deep voice, "Alright, it's about time to go in. Let's go."

After saying that, Ma Zhengyu led Yu Shao and the other four towards the competition venue.

The competition venue was next to the hotel lobby. When Ma Zhengyu led Yu Shao and the other five into the venue, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the six of them.

However, everyone's attention was clearly focused on Yu Shao alone.

Yesterday's game by Dongshan Xun has already proven his skill, and everyone wants to know what kind of game Yu Shao will play next.

By this time, all the players from the North and South Korean teams had arrived at the competition venue and were already seated in their respective positions.

Seeing Ma Zhengyu bring Yu Shao and his group of five to the competition venue, they all looked towards them.

Because of yesterday's loss to the Japanese team, Lee Jun-hyuk and his five teammates looked somewhat depressed and sullen today. They just sat in their chairs, silently watching Yu Shao and his five teammates.

Upon seeing the North and South Korean players, Qin Lang, Le Haoqiang, and Gu Chuan all became more serious.

"Just play your own game."

Ma Zhengyu took a deep breath and said, "Please take your seats. The competition is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally took a step and walked towards the chess table.

Yu Shao quickly walked to the opposite side of Li Junhe. Li Junhe also looked up, pushed up his glasses, and looked at Yu Shao with a serious expression as he pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him.

One player, Yu Shao 2-dan, yes, Lee Jun-hyuk 7-dan!

Su Yiming quickly walked to the chess table next to Yu Shao, glanced at the thin young man with a sullen face and long hair opposite him, and then pulled out a chair and sat down.

Second platform, Su Yiming 2nd dan, yes, Park Jichang 8th dan!

Qin Lang took a deep breath, sat down on one side of table number three, raised his head, and looked at his opponent for the day with a determined gaze.

Three platforms, Qin Lang 6 dan, yes, Jin Chaoen 7 dan!
Le Haoqiang stopped at table number four, looking at Pei Youyan, who had delicate features and a gentle temperament, across from him. Even when facing a female chess player, he showed no contempt on his face. He clenched his fist and finally sat down.

Fourth platform, Le Haoqiang, 6th dan, yes, Pei Youyan, 6th dan!

Gu Chuan arrived at table number five, glanced at his opponent, then subconsciously pursed his lips before finally pulling up a chair and sitting down as well.

Wutai, Gu Chuan 5th dan, yes, Shen Xuze 6th dan!
All ten players were already in place, sitting opposite each other. Although the game had not yet started, there was already a sense of tension between them!
The North and South Korean teams lost to Japan yesterday and are determined to win back their losses today. If they lose today's match, they will be relegated to third place, which is absolutely unacceptable to the North and South Korean teams.

On the Chinese side, they haven't achieved any good results in the team competition for five years. This year, they are determined to avenge their previous defeats and will certainly not give an inch!

However, there can only be one winner!
At this moment, viewers all over the world are glued to their televisions or computers, waiting for today's match to begin.

Not only that, in the seminar room where the Japanese team was located, all the Japanese Go players were watching the TV screen with focused expressions, especially Higashiyama Kaoru, whose expression was extremely serious.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Time is up!"

Shortly after, a referee in a black suit glanced at his watch, then looked up at Yu Shao and Li Junhe, and said in a deep voice, "The captains, Yu Shao, 2-dan, and Li Junhe, 7-dan, will decide who goes first by coin toss!"

"The outcome of this coin toss will also determine the order of attack for the deputy general, third general, fourth general, and fifth general."

Upon hearing this, Lee Jun-hyuk immediately reached into the chess box and grabbed a handful of white pieces, while Yu Shao also took out two black pieces from the chess box and placed them on the chessboard.

White has three pieces.

Black has two pieces.

In this game, Lee Jun-hyuk will play black and Yu Shao will play white!
