I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 320 Strategic Insight, Calculation, and Imagination!
Everyone stared at the television screen, their eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

"Instead of forcibly infiltrating to treat the orphans, or even encroaching upon their territory, they... chose to abduct them?"

However, after carefully considering this move, everyone's expression suddenly turned chilling!

After this turn, White's position thickens while the black stones on the right flank weaken. White is ready to launch a strong attack on the black stones on the right flank, and White also has a certain presence in the lower area.

White's idea was to build a large territory and compete with Black's stones!
If White can truly establish a shape on the right flank of the board, coupled with the advantage in territory, and with this mutual encirclement, White's stones will be able to contend with Black's stones!
This is indeed a strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," and even the subsequent changes are not complicated!
However, the idea behind this move was so amazing, so different from ordinary people, that it completely broke with convention and exceeded everyone's imagination!
……

……

"Kidnap?"

Inside the competition venue, Higashiyama Kaoru's originally calm expression finally changed uncontrollably.

This seemingly harmless but actually ruthless move was completely unexpected. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be even more ferocious than directly forcing his way into the black pieces' formation and engaging in a direct battle with them!
In Higashiyama Kaoru's mind, he kept calculating the subsequent changes on the board. As he went deeper into the calculations, his expression became colder and cold sweat appeared on his back.

Click!

Finally, after a few moments, Higashiyama Kaoru clenched his left fist, reached into the chess box with his right hand, picked out a chess piece, and gritted his teeth as he placed it down!
Hey!
Eighteen columns, nine rows, turn!
Yu Shao immediately picked up a chess piece and quickly placed it down.

Sixteen columns and five rows, stick!
The instant the white piece was placed, Higashiyama Kaoru also picked up a piece almost without hesitation!
Hey!
Eighteen columns and five rows, attack!
Soon, seeing Yu Shao place his piece again, Dongshan Xun immediately picked up his own piece and quickly placed his own, not wanting to be outdone.

Soon, after a few more moves, seeing Yu Shao place his piece again, Dongshan Xun's eyes flashed with a fierce light. With a "click," he picked up the piece and placed it down once more!
Hey!
Thirteen columns, eight rows, jump!
"He jumped."

Yu Shao stared at the chessboard and had already figured out the intention behind this big jump.

"Are you using this move to forcibly destroy my potential to form a shape?"

After a moment of thought, Yu Shao finally picked up a chess piece again and placed it on the chessboard!
Hey!
Fourteen columns and three rows, paste it below!

Upon seeing Yu Shao's move, Higashiyama Kaoru's expression turned somewhat grim.

He forcibly destroyed White's potential to enclose territory in advance, preventing White from forming a pattern of mutual encirclement with Black, and naturally his own shape also revealed some minor flaws!

Although these flaws were very subtle, they were still seized upon by White and a fierce attack was launched!
Now, White is starting to exert its strength!

Higashiyama Kaoru stared at the chessboard with a grim expression. After a moment of thought, he finally picked up a piece again and placed it with lightning speed!
Thirteen columns, second row, turn!
Soon, the white pieces were placed on the board again!
Twelve columns, two rows, turn!
"He's directly targeting my weaknesses. Right now... I can only defend my position and wait and see!"

Higashiyama Kaoru immediately picked up a black stone and then dropped it at lightning speed!
Fourteen columns, two rows, paste!
The next moment, Yu Shao picked up a chess piece and placed it down again!
Upon seeing this move, Higashiyama Kaoru was taken aback.

The next moment, Dongshan Xun's expression changed drastically. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Yu Shao opposite him!

White's sword, honed for ten years, is finally drawn with full force at this moment!

This move, a lone force penetrating deep into the Black pieces' territory, aims to unleash a devastating wave in the entire game by securing the isolated group!
Five columns and eight rows, Little Fly!
……

……

Commentary and recap of the indoor scene.

"It's...it's in!"

Upon seeing the location where the white piece landed on the television screen, the female commentator on stage couldn't help but gasp!
The audience erupted in uproar.

"Infiltrating is understandable, but the point of infiltration is... far too deep!"

"How dare he? This kind of infiltration, isn't he afraid of being completely annihilated?!"

"Even against an amateur 3-dan, I wouldn't dare to penetrate that deep! Is he really confident that he can survive Black's encirclement and attack?"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the television screen, feeling a chill run down their spines as they gazed at the visually striking white piece!
This method of penetration is extremely forceful, and it's a method that no one would even dare to think of!

Given the overall situation of Black, the safest approach is still to invade and reduce the territory. Invading would be risky, but in this situation, because Black has surrounded too many stones, and people are not always willing to swallow an elephant, it is indeed worth the risk to invade!

However, this small knight's move is a bit too deep. Black's move to surround half the board was already excessive, but White's method of securing a group of stones is even more excessive!

White has practically single-handedly invaded Black's territory. What awaits White now is a massive encirclement and attack by Black's vast forces!

On the chessboard, black and white pieces were constantly being placed, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The male and female commentators on stage simultaneously placed the chess pieces on the board.

However, after just a few moves, everyone's expression changed, and goosebumps suddenly rose all over their bodies!

"If Black makes a cut on the top side in the next move, then the ladder will become advantageous for White!"

On the stage, the male commentator stared blankly at the chessboard, finally realizing something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the upper right corner of the board, his heart trembling!
"After that turn, White's various moves in the upper right corner were not really intended to encircle Black!"

"Now it seems that White anticipated Black's intention to forcefully jump away and destroy White's potential for encirclement. So the real purpose was simply to leave some loose pieces to prepare for future invasion!"

"From that first turn, the white pieces...were already planning a grand strategy!"

Upon hearing the commentator's words, the audience's minds went blank, and as they stared at the large trading board on the stage, their vision blurred for a moment!

"This……"

If Black breaks the upper boundary and captures White's stones, White can capture Black's key stones directly. Once Black's key stones are captured, Black will naturally collapse!
If Black plays a move to prevent White from capturing, then White can simply play a couple of moves, wait for Black to escape, and then return to the outside to play a move that allows Black to escape. In this way, three of Black's stones will be captured, and White will naturally live!

The entire room fell silent!
At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their minds—what kind of strategic vision does it take to plan something like this?
What kind of computational power would be needed to calculate all the possible variations of Black after the turn?
What kind of imagination does it take to think of using external resources to forcefully penetrate deep into the heart of the enemy's territory?!

Finally, after a long period of deliberation, the black stone fell again.

Five columns and nine rows, fire!

"Although the changes are complex, Higashiyama Kaoru also anticipated this, so he chose to attack from the left!"

Seeing this move, the commentator finally came to his senses, and then his eyes lit up: "A calm and good move. It seems that this can indeed avoid White's use of the upper side!"

Then, on the television screen, the white piece fell again.

The female commentator glanced at the TV screen, immediately took out a chess piece, hung it on the board, and said, "White's only move is to stick it out."

"Black must connect next, otherwise the shape will be problematic!"

The male commentator nodded, immediately took out the pieces, and demonstrated two variations: "If the black pieces connect, the white pieces must also connect; otherwise, once the black pieces extend, the white pieces will collapse!"

The next two moves were exactly as the male commentator had predicted.

Black, four columns and nine rows, connect!
White, in the fifth row and ninth column, komi!
Then--

Black, 9th column, 11th row, big knight's move!

"So that was Dafei's move, what a ruthless one!"

The male commentator took a deep breath, sensing the sharpness of the move, and immediately explained: "This move forcefully blocks White's stones, forcing White to pay a bloody price for its isolated advance!"

The female commentator stared at the chessboard in shock, muttering, "I simply can't think of a response..."

Just as the female commentator's voice faded, under the watchful eyes of the world, the white piece finally landed on the board!
Eight columns and nine rows, jump!

Suddenly, everyone looked as if they had been hit on the back of the head, staring dumbfounded at the chessboard and at the white piece that had just been placed!
The entire hall fell silent once more!

"Brilliant move..."

After a long while, the male commentator on the stage swallowed hard, and beads of cold sweat slowly slid down his cheeks.

He gazed at the chessboard and murmured, "With a single move, White has precisely and ruthlessly exploited the weakness in Black's formation!"

……

……

The inter-Korean seminar room.

Honinbo Shingo was watching the TV screen when he saw Yu Shao about to make his move. He immediately reached into the Go box, but the moment he saw Yu Shao make his move, his hand froze in the Go box!
"This move seized the perfect moment and targeted the weakness of Black's large knight's move."

An Hongshi was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "If Black plays a move to reinforce itself, and White jumps again, it will not only expand its eye space but also join forces with the reinforcements in the upper right corner, thus making use of the upper area again."

Inside the seminar room, Lee Jun-hyuk stared at the large screen, looking somewhat lost and dejected.

Suddenly, Lee Jun-hyuk seemed to realize something and quickly asked, "What if Black makes a move here to protect both sides at the same time?"

Before An Hongshi could speak, Honinbo Shingo said, "It's no use."

Upon hearing this, Lee Jun-hyuk was taken aback and looked at Honinbo Shingo.

Honinbo Shingo stared solemnly at the big screen and said, "If Black joins, White's komi is a forcing move, and Black's best response is to play a point."

"Thus, the white pieces seem to be in a precarious situation, but if you examine the board carefully, you'll find that in addition to the white pieces above being borrowed, the white pieces below are also being borrowed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to the chessboard. After calculating the situation in their minds, they were all horrified!

"This……"

Park Ji-guk stared at the chessboard in disbelief, his heart trembling.

Yes, apart from the top right corner, if you look closely now, the white pieces are at the bottom, and they actually... they also have a borrowed piece!

If White moves, Black can only capture. If White captures, Black has the initiative and can only stick to it. Then, if White extends its territory, the reinforcements from White on the left side will also play a role!
"It's so agile..."

Park Ji-guk stared blankly at the television screen, muttering, "How is this possible... how could someone possibly move around in such a confined space?"

At this moment, An Hongshi finally said in a deep voice, "Now, the black pieces have no other choice but to directly pin the white pieces' weakness and force a battle against them!"

On the television screen!

The black piece falls!

Seven columns and eight rows, dots!
