I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 313's answer is destined to resonate throughout the chess world.

Yu Shao quickly came up behind Qin Lang and looked at the chessboard again. The others came to the three platforms to watch the last game of chess.

"The game has progressed to the mid-to-late stages, but it's still a close contest..."

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, assessing the situation.

The two players are evenly matched, and they have been locked in a stalemate since the middle game, which has continued until now. Even as they are about to enter the endgame, it is still impossible to discern a clear advantage or disadvantage.

There may be a gap, but it is extremely subtle, and both sides are already close to the final countdown.

Seeing that he couldn't break through after a long attack, Qin Lang looked visibly anxious, while Jin Chaoen on the other side also looked tense, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead and temples.

"It's tangling up again!"

Seeing Jin Chaoen place his chess piece, Qin Lang's expression turned even more unpleasant.

"I originally thought that in the mid-game battle to secure my group, even if I couldn't win big, I could at least gain some advantage. But I didn't expect that although I successfully destroyed his potential in the middle, I didn't gain any advantage at all!"

"I've seen his game records. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, in yesterday's game, although he lost in the endgame, his handling of the endgame was still very refined, and he was still better than me..."

"The endgame is my weakness. If we enter the endgame in a close contest, I probably won't have much of a chance of winning!"

When reviewing the game record, Qin Lang felt that Jin Chaoen's mid-game strength was not very strong, especially when he was caught in a chaotic battle, where he was prone to revealing weaknesses.

However, now that he has met Kim Jo-eun face to face, he has realized how difficult Kim Jo-eun is!

Chess records do represent a part of a player's skill level, but if you want to know a player's true skill level, you can only verify it face-to-face on the chessboard!
"The game must be decided in the middle game!"

Qin Lang couldn't help but recall the conversation he had overheard between two European journalists at the hotel a few days ago. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his arms bulged.

"I absolutely cannot allow myself to lose!"

Click!

Qin Lang stared intently at the chessboard, a hint of ferocity in his eyes. Finally, he reached into the chess box, picked out a chess piece, and quickly placed it down!
"Let's have a showdown!"

Hey!
Thirteen columns, eight rows, charge!
"rush?!"

Upon seeing where the white piece landed, Jin Chaoen was startled and found it hard to believe. Qin Lang's move was completely beyond his expectations!
"He charged straight down, deep into my territory?"

As Jin Chaoen calculated the subsequent changes in the game, he was suddenly filled with shock and anger.

"At this point, the chessboard was very narrow, and there wasn't much room for maneuver. Did he really think his lone piece could survive?!"

With little time remaining, Jin Chaoen quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it down.

Seeing the black piece fall, Qin Lang immediately picked up a piece as well, his eyes fierce, and swiftly slammed it down!
"I must survive!"

"I absolutely cannot allow myself to lose; I must win this game!"

The next moment, the chess piece was placed!

Hey!
Fourteen columns and seven rows, break!
Yu Shao silently watched the game of chess from the side.

Qin Lang's aggressive move was too forceful and wasn't really a good move.

However, time was running out for both sides, and the situation after the charge was complex. If the opponent did not respond properly, Qin Lang would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

Of course, if the opponent responds well, Qin Lang's white pieces will collapse in an instant!
What follows will be a pure battle of strength between the two sides!
Both sides have exhausted their efforts in this one battle; whoever wins this battle will be the victor in this game!
The eyes of the world are focused on this final game of chess!

On the chessboard, black and white pieces alternately fall, like a dragon and a tiger fighting. Both sides make ruthless moves, and everyone can feel the overwhelming killing intent on the board!
Da da da……

"The battle here is to my advantage!"

Kim Jo-eun gazed at the chessboard, and after a moment, picked up another chess piece.

"He knew he was no match for me in the endgame, so he tried his best to end the game before it entered the endgame!"

"He's run out of tricks. All I need to do is stay calm and play each move well!"

The black piece falls!

"Click!"

With the sound of a piece being grabbed, Qin Lang's eyes were fierce. He instantly picked up a piece and quickly placed it on the chessboard, his aura aggressive and imposing!

Hey!
Eight columns and fifteen rows, jump!
"Jump? Trying to get ahead? It's useless!"

Jin Chaoen immediately picked up a chess piece, his eyes flashing with a hint of ferocity, and placed the piece with lightning speed!

"As long as I cut off the white pieces, if he attacks, I have black pieces on the outside to support him and can stick to him. Even if he breaks through, I still have the means to capture pieces. Again, it's in my favor!"

Hey!
Eight columns and fourteen rows, break!
Seeing Jin Chaoen make his move, Gu Chuan's expression turned serious.

"Qin Lang's charge down earlier was indeed too much. It's difficult for Bai Zi to counterattack now. After that, Bai Zi is even at risk of being cut off!"

Le Haoqiang also subconsciously bit his lower lip, sensing the danger as well. Bai Zi was in a very tight breath, making it extremely difficult for him to work!

Click!

At that moment, the sound of claws being pulled rang out again.

The next moment, Qin Lang stared intently at a spot on the chessboard, instantly picked up a chess piece from the board, and swiftly slammed it down!

Hey!
Ten columns and eleven rows, sharp!
Upon seeing this move, Le Haoqiang and Gu Chuan were slightly taken aback, then their expressions turned to surprise, while Jin Chaoen, sitting opposite Qin Lang, had a sudden change in expression!

"not good!"

"His jump move was just waiting for me to cut!" "After that move, the subsequent cut and capture created a synergy, and my shape... actually revealed a weakness!"

Jin Chaoen couldn't help but look up at Qin Lang, only to see that Qin Lang was also staring at him with an astonishingly aggressive gaze!
Kim Jo-eun's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant. He clenched his teeth and picked up a chess piece again to place it!

"It's okay, calm down!"

"I was checkmated, but the white pieces are still not alive. He wants to attack instead of defend, so I sacrificed pieces for him to capture, and then locked him down in this area!"

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
After a few more moves, beads of sweat streamed down Jin Chaoen's forehead and cheeks.

"He committed robbery..."

Jin Chaoen gritted his teeth, picked up another chess piece, and quickly placed it down.

Time passed steadily as the chess pieces clattered.

at last.

Soon after, Jin Chaoen clenched his fists unwillingly, closed his eyes, and after a moment, opened his eyes again. He finally picked up two black pieces, placed them on the chessboard, and then bowed his head to Qin Lang.

Seeing this, Qin Lang, who was drenched in sweat despite it being winter, finally leaned back in his chair with a sigh of relief, panting heavily as if he had just finished a marathon.

The game is over!

With victories in all three matches—the main match, the vice-main match, and the third-team match—the Chinese team secured a 3-2 victory in this round!
……

……

The China seminar room.

Everyone was glued to the television screen, watching the final three-player battle intently.

When Kim Jo-eun picked up two black stones and placed them on the board, the entire seminar room fell silent.

The next moment, the entire seminar room erupted in chaos!

"We win! We win!"

A young male chess player could not hide his excitement, and was even somewhat incoherent: "We...we defeated the North and South Korean teams!"

"We really won!"

A female chess player clenched her fist excitedly, her face flushed, her expression full of excitement: "That's the North and South Korean team!"

It's worth noting that the China-Japan-Korea team competition has gone five years without any results, always finishing at the bottom. Regardless of the final outcome this year, at least we've achieved a breakthrough!

"Won!"

Ma Zhengyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Although Gu Chuan and Le Haoqiang lost, they played very well!"

"I could feel their will to win with every move they made, even through the screen!"

As Ma Zhengyu spoke, he stood up from his chair and said, "I was once somewhat pessimistic about the future of Chinese Go, but now my view has changed!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zijin and Wu Zhixuan, who were watching Pei Youyan and Le Haoqiang's chess game, couldn't help but look up at Ma Zhengyu.

"It's not just Yu Shao and Su Yiming; other young Go players are also shining in their own way. I believe the future of Go will be even more exciting!"

Ma Zhengyu smiled and said, "Let's go out and welcome our five heroes. I hope they will continue their efforts tomorrow. The match against the Japanese team tomorrow will definitely be very exciting!"

……

……

Inside the reporter's room.

"China has defeated North and South Korea!"

The reporters took a deep breath and said, "After five years, the Chinese team seems to have finally rallied! I never dreamed that the five-player match would turn out like that, and the three-player match was also incredibly exciting!"

"Me too! This team competition is absolutely incredible!"

A European journalist nodded in agreement and said, "In yesterday's game between Higashiyama Kaoru and Lee Jun-hyuk, he gave up the triple ko cycle and sacrificed half of his large group to achieve a kill. The four-way checkmate was also a kill between two large groups of 300 points!"

"I can't wait to see how the China-Japan match will turn out tomorrow!" another reporter exclaimed excitedly.

At this moment, a blond-haired, blue-eyed reporter looked at another reporter beside him and said, "Didn't you ask which reporter's response was more powerful in the two games yesterday and today?"

Upon hearing this, the reporter next to the blond, blue-eyed reporter couldn't help but turn his head and look at him.

"To be honest, I don't know, at least not right now!"

The blond-haired, blue-eyed reporter looked up at the television screen and said, "However, all the questions about this team competition will be answered tomorrow!"

"I have a feeling this will be a battle of epic proportions!"

"Two brilliant chess players will use their skills to provide an unvarnished answer on the chessboard!"

"And this answer is destined to resonate throughout the chess world!"
