I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 330 He's either a monster or a god

Seeing Yu Shao's move, which directly abandoned a key piece and placed white pieces in a continuous line, Lai Yu's expression changed.

Soon, Lai Yu picked up another chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Sixteen columns, four rows, lift!
After placing the piece, Lai Yu quickly reached out and picked up a black piece that had been captured from the board.

With the capture of this black piece, the two previously separated white pieces now merge into one, becoming incredibly thick and difficult to move.

"Click."

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, quickly picked up a piece, and placed it down again.

Fifteen columns in a row, fire!
Lai Yu showed no surprise at Yu Shao's move.

The two white stones at the top are the only weak points for white at this moment, and they have become the key stones for white, which must not be lost.

Therefore, Lai Yu quickly picked up a chess piece and gently placed it down.

Hey!
Seventeen columns and four rows, stick!
"At this point in the game... the shape of the white pieces is now flawless!"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes were filled with confusion.

After killing the key black stones, the white stones now have an astonishingly strong position, to the point that they are impossible to attack. Moreover, the white stones have good development potential and have not been suppressed.

On the other hand, Black's territory is not only surrounded on the second and third lines, but Black's outer stones also have weaknesses. Black must spend a move to strengthen itself in the next move, otherwise White is very likely to launch a sudden attack!

Just as everyone had predicted, Yu Shao quickly picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it on the chessboard.

Hey!
Twelve columns, two rows, Tiger!
After this move was made, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"The localized conflict has come to an end!"

"This fierce battle, which started with a large diagonal line, did not develop into a major confrontation because the black pieces kept retreating. It came to an abrupt end after only a few moves."

"Therefore, in this game of black and white in the upper right corner, it seems... the white pieces have the upper hand!"

No one knew why, but even in a situation where the advantages and disadvantages could be discerned at a glance, they still subconsciously added the word "seems"!

People who hold this view include even Jiang Changdong!

Having studied many of Yu Shao's game records, even he dared not say that his judgment of the situation on the board was accurate at this moment!

In the crowd, Chu Jingfeng suddenly turned his gaze away from the chessboard, raised his head, and looked at Yu Shao. Looking at Yu Shao's young face, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

"Although he is still young, his talent is unfathomable..."

"Although Go is full of uncertainties, there are also certainties."

"For example, when faced with a situation, if most people think one side is better, then that side is better; that is, the judgment of the situation."

"However, after looking at many of his game records, a question inevitably arises... Are the judgments we've always believed to be correct really correct?"

"Or is he the only one who is right?"

"I don't genuinely believe he's right, but the problem is, he's consistently winning, progressing further and further down the path of a professional Go player at a pace that no one can match..."

Chu Jingfeng's mind kept replaying all of Yu Shao's previous chess records, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

"So, if he's wrong, then how do you explain all those winning games?"

"Whether it's right or wrong... at this point, no one dares to be sure anymore."

Chu Jingfeng glanced at Jiang Changdong beside him, who was frowning and staring at the chessboard, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid it's not just Jiang Changdong..."

"Even if Professor An Hongshi were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to say for sure."

"If our predecessors and even our own judgments on the situation are all wrong, that is what truly shakes the foundation of Go."

Chu Jingfeng raised his head again and looked at Yu Shao, a question that had puzzled him for a long time surfacing in his mind.

"If he really is the only one who is right."

"So, who exactly is he?"

"Human inheritance lies in experience, but he completely contradicts four thousand years of experience."

"Is this... really something a human can do?"

"Only a monster or..."

"god!"

Da da da……

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black and white pieces continued to spread across the intricate chessboard, everyone focused intently, and the entire room was completely silent.

The large diagonal shape in the upper right corner is already set. Although White has gained a strong position and potential advantage in the upper right corner, the outcome is still uncertain. The rest of the open areas on the board still require both sides to compete.

Time passed steadily as the pieces were placed.

"and many more?"

As the people around stared at the chessboard, a look of deep astonishment appeared on their faces.

After the top right corner was settled, White played exceptionally steadily due to its advantage, giving Black no chance to exploit the situation and avoiding any drastic changes that could cause its advantage to vanish.

Once an advantage is gained, maintaining stable control of the board and bringing it to the endgame is extremely demanding on a player's character and qualities; not everyone has this ability to control the board.

However, at least in this game, Lai Yu did a very good job in controlling the game.

Even so—

A young man stared at the chessboard in disbelief, his vision blurring.
"The situation for the white pieces has deteriorated without anyone noticing!"

Among the crowd, Chu Jingfeng stared blankly at the chessboard, the question he had just thought of resurfacing in his mind!

Right or wrong!

I'm... not sure anymore!

After a moment, he shifted his gaze and looked again at the upper right corner of the chessboard. Looking at the intricate situation in the upper right corner, he was momentarily dazed.

Not only him, but at this moment, Jiang Changdong and everyone else watching this game all turned their attention to the upper right corner of the chessboard, to the diagram of the large diagonal variations played by both sides!

Because the white pieces played every move well in the subsequent changes, while the black pieces did not make any surprising moves in the subsequent changes.

So, if we dig deeper, the reason why the white pieces' situation has deteriorated can only be found in the battle and struggle between black and white in the upper right corner!
It seems that their understanding of the Great Slant is also flawed!

Right and wrong are inherently opposed.

If Yu Shao was really right...

Then, wouldn't all the moves made by all the other players be wrong?!

Not just modern chess players, but all chess players throughout the past four thousand years, in their judgment of the situation on the chessboard—

Totally wrong!

The answer was so terrifying that they didn't want to think about it or admit it at all; just thinking about it made them feel horrified!

Soon, after another seven or eight moves, as Yu Shao placed his piece again, Lai Yu looked at the board and did not place any more pieces.

"We haven't lost yet."

Lai Yu also stared at the upper right corner of the chessboard. Although the current situation was incredibly unpredictable and he couldn't quite understand why things had turned out this way, he felt a sense of calm. Lai Yu's gaze then shifted to the center of the chessboard, and after a moment, he slowly reached into the chess box.

"If things continue to go smoothly here, I'm destined to find no opportunities. However, the central area is still quite open, and there's still a chance to gamble with my life!"

Lai Yu felt the cold touch of the chess piece, his mind constantly calculating the future situation on the board. Finally, he held the piece between his fingers again, and then—

Lai Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened, and with a click, he took a chess piece from the chess box and slapped it down with his large hand!

The chess piece hits the chessboard!
Hey!
Twelve columns and nine rows, a giant flight!

"Big fly?"

Everyone was taken aback when they saw this move.

After careful consideration, everyone around was shocked and looked up at Lai Yu in disbelief!
"Teacher Lai Yu chose to sacrifice a major piece, abandoning the bottom right corner, allowing the black pieces to devour it!"

"Teacher Lai Yu, we must conquer the Central Plains!"

"Such a large area in the bottom right corner, with so many pixels, and they...they just abandoned it?!"

"Excellent player! No wonder he's Lai Yu, who reached the title match main tournament for three consecutive years! That move was incredible!"

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and saw the incredibly bold move, the large knight's move, but his expression remained calm.

"Dafei?"

That was indeed a good move.

You could even say this is the best move under the current market conditions!
Sacrificing a large piece to seize the center is theoretically feasible, but the center will be attacked from all sides and is the most difficult position to manage. The opponent will definitely not lack the means to penetrate and destroy it!
If Lai Yu can really surround the center, then he can indeed turn the tide and save the day from collapse. He might even be able to turn defense into offense and crush the black pieces with overwhelming force!

but……

Yu Shao lowered his eyes and gazed at the chessboard, pondering quietly for a moment.

"Click."

A moment later, Yu Shao reached into the chess box again, and the chess pieces collided with a sound.

The next second, a black chess piece slowly fell to the ground.

Hey!
Thirteen columns and twelve rows, so long!

Seeing that Yu Shao had chosen to extend his move, Lai Yu had obviously anticipated this and quickly picked up another piece and placed it down.

Hey!
Fourteen columns and eleven rows, sandwiched!
The instant the white piece was placed, Yu Shao picked up another piece and placed it right after the white piece!

Hey!
Eleven columns, nine rows, paste!
The chess piece landed on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.

Upon seeing this move, the entire room fell silent. Across from Yu Shao, Lai Yu stared at the chessboard in disbelief, intently watching the black piece that had just been placed.

After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted in uproar!
"stick?!"

"What...what does this mean?!"

"Invading the center is inevitable, but... should we use a komi attack? White's stones will inevitably extend, which would just help White build up territory and solidify their position. If we invade again, it will be much harder to invade!"

"I don't understand, what's going on?"

Even Jiang Changdong and Chu Jingfeng were staring at the chessboard in shock.

The variations in Go are infinitely mysterious!

This move, which is undoubtedly a strong attack on the white pieces, is actually a move that leads to the loss of the entire game!

Because while Black is attacking, White will also continuously build up its strength and solidity!

At this moment, the key point of the struggle between the two sides lies in the central area, which is the Heavenly King Mountain!

In order to control the center, White sacrificed a large stone and even used a high-risk move like the large knight's move, which was extremely easy to be invaded!

If Black rashly attacks White at this moment, White will take advantage of Black's offensive momentum and build up its strength step by step. Even if Black gains something on the outside, it will be extremely difficult for Black to penetrate White's territory and destroy White's potential in the center!

In short, White's stones were originally vulnerable, but when Black attacked, White seemed to be in a precarious situation. In fact, White used Black's move to strengthen itself!
Soon, Lai Yu picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down!

Eleven columns and ten rows, so long!
Yu Shao immediately picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Eight columns and twelve rows, Little Fly!

Everyone around couldn't help but clench their fists, staring intently at the chessboard, watching the fierce battle raging in the center!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The chess pieces kept falling.

Everyone was completely absorbed in the game, watching the white pieces continuously build up their strength and gain more and more control over the center, feeling increasingly confused and puzzled!
It seems that the culprits have no follow-up measures.

At this point, White's position is becoming increasingly solid, and the situation is quietly beginning to reverse in White's favor!
However, as more and more pieces were placed, Chu Jingfeng seemed to suddenly realize something first, and his expression changed slightly.

"wrong!"

Chu Jingfeng seemed to suddenly wake up, abruptly shifting his gaze to the upper right corner of the chessboard, then back to the center, then back to the upper right corner, then back to the center...

"This, this is..."

After looking at it several times, Chu Jingfeng suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao in disbelief, staring at his handsome face that was slightly immature and childish!

Just then, Yu Shao picked up another chess piece and slowly placed it down.

After seeing this move, Chu Jingfeng was stunned for a long time before finally looking away from the chessboard and turning to look at Jiang Changdong beside him.

Upon seeing Jiang Changdong's current state, Chu Jingfeng swallowed back the words he was about to say in a low voice.

Jiang Changdong's brows had stopped furrowing, and he was staring blankly at the chessboard, seemingly lost in thought!
As a longtime friend, Chu Jingfeng knew Jiang Changdong well, but he had never imagined that he would see such a complex expression on Jiang Changdong's usually calm face.

Shock, bewilderment, disbelief, doubt...

As the pieces continued to fall, large beads of sweat began to appear on Lai Yu's forehead, while the others around him gradually began to see the clues on the board!
Some people widened their eyes little by little and covered their mouths with their hands, barely managing to control their emotions and not make a sound!
Some people opened their mouths wide, but couldn't make a sound at all. They were so shocked that they lost their voices!
One, two, three...

"Brother, what's wrong?"
Finally, upon seeing this scene, another person who didn't understand the situation frowned and asked the person next to him in a low voice, puzzled, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

"you……"

The person being questioned stared intently at the chessboard, without turning his head, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Take a good look at the board, look at it again."

"Take a closer look at the market?"

The man was somewhat puzzled, but he still looked at the chessboard and re-examined the game with a head full of questions.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and his heart was filled with a strong sense of shock!
"Yes……"

The person being questioned spoke softly, it was unclear whether they were answering or talking to themselves: "White's position is indeed getting thicker and thicker, and Black can no longer penetrate..."

"but……"

"but……"

"But although White's position is very strong, and they've spent most of their time working in the center, they may not have managed to create much territory—"

"Only five or six eyes!"

"White has become stronger, but also weaker!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
