I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 312 That kind of chess, I'd like to try playing it too!

Pei Youyan quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it down again.

Seven columns and fourteen rows, sharp!
"tip?"

Upon seeing this move, Yu Shao's expression changed.

"Tsubaki seems like a strong opponent, but here... Kuroko also has a set of techniques for counter-attacks! She misjudged!"

Yu Shao was constantly calculating the subsequent changes in the game.

“Once the black piece jumps, the white piece can only stick to it. The black piece then pounces into the white piece’s mouth, sacrificing a piece for the white piece to capture. The white piece can only capture it, and the black piece can then make a move to capture and reinforce the piece.”

"In this way, although the white pieces seem to have the first move, they are actually helpless against the black pieces!"

"As long as Le Haoqiang can make that jump, he has a chance!"

Le Haoqiang stared at the chessboard, pondered for a moment, and then, with a somewhat grim expression, took a chess piece from the chess box and slowly placed it down.

Hey!
Six columns and twelve rows, paste!
"I didn't notice that move."

After looking at a few more moves, Yu Shao finally turned his gaze away from the chessboard and walked towards the fifth board, coming up behind Gu Chuan.

Yu Shao was slightly surprised after seeing the situation of this game.

"Are they going to slay the dragon?"

In this game, Gu Chuan and Shen Xuze played a magnificent battle of hundreds of dragons, a fierce and dazzling contest that was difficult to resolve.

In this duel, Gu Chuan, playing white, clearly had the upper hand.

On the chessboard, several groups of black stones have been cut off. If Shen Xuze tries to force a large group of black stones to live, those few isolated black stones may also be surrounded and killed by white stones, putting them in a precarious situation.

Gu Chuan's advantage is even greater than Su Yiming's in that game. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to kill the dragon in the middle game and win in no time!

At this moment, Gu Chuan was also intently watching the chessboard.

"I have the advantage now, but... I can't be careless!"

"The situation is too complex; any misstep could lead to utter ruin!"

Soon, Shen Xuze once again placed a black piece on the board.

Seeing this move, and gazing at the black and white pieces locked in a fierce battle on the board, Gu Chuan couldn't help but recall the game that Yu Shao and Su Yiming played during the captain selection competition that day.

"I am absolutely not reconciled, I just stood behind them, watching their backs!"

Gu Chuan reached into the chess box and took out another chess piece.

"I also want to play a game like Yu Shao and Su Yiming did in the captain selection competition, creating a game that could turn the tide and win!"

The next moment, the chess piece was placed!

"I'd like to try playing that kind of game too!"

Hey!
Fourteen columns and eight rows, flying high!

"Eight out of fourteen?"

Upon seeing this move, Yu Shao was slightly taken aback.

After a moment, Yu Shao's eyes lit up slightly: "Interesting!"

"This move doesn't seem very good at first glance, but the subsequent variations... are actually quite interesting!"

Because this game was a fierce battle with a very complex situation, there were many places to place the pieces. His first instinct was to use the "Zhen" move, and he did not consider the "Da Fei" move.

However, seeing Gu Chuan play this big knight move, Yu Shao felt that this move was extremely ingenious. His previous move, the Zhen move, was relatively simple, but this big knight move was definitely not bad, and might even be better!
Seeing Gu Chuan's move, Shen Xuzhe was also somewhat taken aback. After thinking carefully for a moment, he quickly picked up a piece and placed it on the chessboard!
Da da da!

The pieces started falling continuously!
After watching a few moves, Yu Shao couldn't help but glance at Gu Chuan, feeling a pang of regret.

That big knight's move was indeed brilliant, but Gu Chuan seemed to have only played it based on his intuition, without fully understanding the move and failing to unleash its full power...

This resulted in Black gaining a breathing space despite playing a very good move, and even showing signs of launching a counterattack!
Gu Chuan was clearly aware of this as well. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, picked up a chess piece again, and calmly placed it down.

"fine……"

Yu Shao stared at the chessboard, silently calculating the subsequent changes in the game.

"These moves were all quite good. Although Black has had a breather, White still has the overall advantage."

The chess pieces are still being placed.

After a few more moves, Gu Chuan placed the piece down again.

Seeing Gu Chuan's move, Shen Xuzhe's expression turned pale. He knew that, judging from the current situation, his chances of winning were slim.

"This game... is unwinnable."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Shen Xuze's forehead.

"Why has the situation become so bad...? Is it because of yesterday's game of chess?"

"A former adversary whom I had easily defeated has driven me to the brink of defeat. If he hadn't run out of time and made a drastic move at the last minute, I would have lost."

"Is this the reason that caused my mental state to become problematic?"

Shen Xuze stared at the chessboard in front of him and quietly clenched his fist.

"This game is even worse than yesterday's..."

"I can't win. Continuing to play is just a futile struggle. With my skill level, I can't turn the tide."

"It's okay, this game isn't important to me. I was the weakest player to begin with. Like people say, if there are five games, losing one doesn't matter..."

"I……"

Thinking of this, Shen Xuzhe's eyes suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth unwillingly, reached into the chess box with force, and with a click, picked out a chess piece and quickly placed it down!
"What kind of international joke is this? How could I possibly have such a thought?!" *Click!*
Eight columns and twelve rows, break!
Seeing this move, Gu Chuan was taken aback: "Die here?"

Behind Gu Chuan, Yu Shao stared at the chessboard without saying a word.

To take, you must first give!
In this game, Black cannot survive even if it wants to.

However, even in a dead end, Black has a glimmer of hope that can turn the tide!

This is also a huge hidden danger left by Gu Chuan's failure to make full use of that big flying move.

Black's only way out at this point is to first sacrifice a large group of stones to White, and then use the dead stones to surround and kill White, forcing a trade with White!

To walk this path, one needs more than just chess skills and observation skills; more importantly, the courage to sacrifice large pieces and... an indomitable fighting spirit!

Yu Shao originally thought that Shen Xuzhe wouldn't make such a move, but unexpectedly, Shen Xuzhe actually did it.

This move, which cuts off the opponent's pieces, means that Black has embarked on a path of survival against all odds!

"Although they are rivals, they are also respectable."

Yu Shao silently watched the game, observing both sides placing their pieces.

Not only Yu Shao, but at this moment, all the viewers around the world who were watching this match were completely captivated by this five-player battle!
Everyone thought the game was already decided, but unexpectedly, the game took such a dramatic turn!

Da da da!

On the chessboard, chess pieces are constantly being placed!
Black has sacrificed its large group of stones!

However, although White has captured the large group of stones, it will still take many moves to completely eliminate it. During this time, Black will have to rely on the use of the dead stones to turn the tide!
Shen Xuze and Gu Chuan both had ferocious expressions on their faces. They were racking their brains for every move they made, trying every possible way to kill each other!

Da da da……

"My God! Black actually managed to kill White's large group of stones by using a dead stone! This resulted in a huge exchange of 100 points!"

"Both sides have entered the endgame!"

"Is this...is this still a battle between five generals?!"

Everyone was deeply impressed by this game of chess, and the notarizer and referee on the sidelines were completely stunned!

They never dreamed that a five-player game would escalate to this point!
Time passed second by second, and the whole world seemed to fall silent because of this game of chess.

Finally, I don’t know how long it took.

The game is over!
"I……"

Gu Chuan stared at the chessboard, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

After a moment, Gu Chuan finally lowered his head and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, saying, "I lost by one and a half points."

Gu Chuan, Fu, Shen Xuze!

They got turned around...

The notary, standing nearby, gazed at the game and fell silent for a moment.

In this game, Gu Chuan's performance in the first half was remarkable, and he was in a winning position at one point.

Even when you have the upper hand and victory is within reach, you still end up losing to your opponent. Only those who have experienced it firsthand can understand the pain and resentment.

As a chess player, one struggles with this kind of pain throughout one's entire life!

"It fell very well."

Just then, Yu Shao's voice rang out from behind Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan, who had been hanging his head, was slightly taken aback, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao behind him.

"Although we lost, it was a really good game."

Yu Shao smiled faintly, patted Gu Chuan on the shoulder, and said, "This is much better than what you made before."

"I……"

Upon hearing this, a deep sense of shame appeared on Gu Chuan's face. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start, so he could only clench his teeth tightly.

Yu Shao didn't say anything more, patted Gu Chuan on the shoulder again, and then walked towards the fourth stage, coming back to Le Haoqiang's side.

Seeing this, Gu Chuan also immediately stood up and stood behind Le Haoqiang, casting his gaze towards the chessboard.

This game has entered the endgame and the outcome is about to be decided.

Le Haoqiang clearly entered the endgame at a disadvantage, but Pei Youyan's endgame play seemed less refined and somewhat rough, allowing Le Haoqiang to catch up in the endgame.

However, although he narrowed the gap somewhat, Le Haoqiang was unable to achieve a comeback until the endgame.

Le Haoqiang... lost by two points.

Le Haoqiang reluctantly took two chess pieces from the chess box, placed them on the chessboard, and chose to resign.

Across from her, Bae Yoo-yeon also breathed a sigh of relief and said in Korean, "Thank you for your guidance."

"Thanks for the advice."

Le Haoqiang clenched his fists and bowed in return.

Almost at the same time that Le Haoqiang made his move, the game on the second board finally came to a conclusion.

Yu Shao turned his head to look at the second platform and saw that Park Ji-guk looked gloomy, and he knew the outcome of the game.

Su Yiming won.

The game has been reduced to just the last three pieces!

This also means that this final three-way battle will determine the outcome of today's match!
