I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 337 I will stain the chessboard with divine blood.
“A large area of ​​the sideline is under attack. If I move to escape outwards, then Black will cut off and launch a strong attack on the bottom. If I continue to escape, Black's move will be a dead end.”

“I must control my liberties. After Black captures, I will capture again, and Black will then attack... In the end, my White stones in the lower part will form a huge, foolish shape. If I connect and forcefully threaten Black's cutting point, Black will gain the initiative and launch a counterattack in the upper part!”

"In that case, I will still be in a tough fight!"

Li Congyou stared at the chessboard. Facing this move that could be described as a sword piercing the heart, his expression remained extremely calm as he continuously calculated the future fate of the situation!
"If I don't connect and gain the initiative, I can escape and capture in the upper left corner. While this would allow me to launch a strong attack on the black stones on the left, the black stones on the left side would also become thicker!"

"If Black plays all its pieces in the upper area, reducing the number of variations, then Black's block will become a decisive move. Even if I manage to secure my position in the lower area, White's position in the upper area will be—"

"They will also be attacked miserably by Black!"

Li Congyou reached into the chess box, but hesitated to return the chess piece, staring intently at the chessboard.

"Are we completely out of options?"

Although he knew he was in a desperate situation, Li Congyou was calmer than ever before.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Congyou gazed at the intricately woven chessboard before him, lost in a long period of contemplation.

"In this situation, let alone reversing it, simply finding a way to survive is incredibly difficult..."

"But there must be a way to survive."

"The chessboard is still quite empty; there's still room for maneuver, and a way out must be hidden within!"

Before Li Congyou's eyes, every single chess game record by Yu Shao seemed to flash before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

His expression grew increasingly serious.

"An aggressive chess player is not about making an excessive move, but about having the courage to make that move."

"Find that one and only move amidst the complex and ambiguous market conditions, and ultimately make that move."

"Taking that step could mean total defeat, or it could mean a miraculous comeback!"

"To be honest, I have never seen a player like him before. Even in the four thousand years of Go history, there has never been a player like him."

"Although he is still young, his playing style, thinking, cognition... are simply not human. He has overturned the understanding of Go over thousands of years and has even almost caused the three most difficult joseki to collapse."

"Perhaps, as some people online say... only a god could do that?"

"I have no doubt that even Mr. An Hongshi is a formidable opponent with whom I can compete until the very end and fight to the last half point."

"If you want to win... you can't wait for him to make a mistake, you have to create your own opportunities!"

"Even if you are extremely hungry, you must patiently hide in the shadows and wait like a lion!"

"The moment you seize the opportunity, you must use the sharpest claws, the fastest speed, and the most ruthless methods to kill them!"

Click!

Finally, after a long time, Li Congyou reached into the chess box again. The chess piece touched the cold chess piece, reaching straight to his heart.

"I'm going to devise a grand strategy to lure him into the game!"

The chess piece is clipped out!

"The moment he entered the game was—"

The chess piece is placed!

"When White's path to survival becomes clear!"

Hey!
Fourteen columns and sixteen rows, Tiger!

"A tiger?"

Seeing Li Congyou's move, everyone felt a pang of sympathy.

This move, the Tiger, may seem like a defensive move, but it's actually a desperate measure made after calculating that there's no chance of winning against Black head-on.
Soon, Yu Shao picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it down!
Black, 14th column, 11th row, move!
"With this black stone placed, a large group of white stones on the left has been completely wiped out by the black stones..."

The aspiring professional Go player, who was responsible for notating the game score, stared blankly at the Go board.

At this point in the game, the gap between the two sides on the board is already quite large. Not only him, but everyone can see that as long as Black doesn't make any big mistakes, White probably doesn't have much of a chance left!
However, Li Congyou's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly picked up another chess piece and placed it down.

Six columns and six rows, lift!

The moment the piece was placed, Li Congyou immediately picked up the black piece that had been captured on the board.

In the upper right corner of the chessboard, the white pieces have seemingly plucked a flower.

Yu Shao was not surprised by this move at all. Looking at the chessboard, he calculated the subsequent changes in his mind.

"Now, I have the advantage."

"There are two positions where you can connect. If you connect the upper position, wait for White to move down, then connect the lower position and wait for White to make a living group. This is naturally an advantage."

"But... if we connect on the top first, it's too reckless. White might go all out and attack from the outside, fighting me to the death. That would create too many variables."

After a moment's thought, Yu Shao finally picked up a chess piece again and gently placed it down.

Hey!
Sixteen columns and five rows, stick!
Black's move to connect is undoubtedly the initiative, and it seems that White will have to play a move to reinforce it no matter what!
but.

The moment Yu Shao picked up the black piece and placed it on the board, Li Congyou's eyes suddenly turned extremely cold, and he immediately reached into the chess box and picked up the piece!
Hey!
On the chessboard—

Two columns, eight rows, dots!

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

"This move ignores Black's initiative by connecting, and directly points on the second line?"

The notarizer, the referee, and all the viewers watching the live broadcast were completely captivated by this move!
The young professional player in charge of notating the moves stared at the board in shock. This move was completely unexpected; he could never have imagined that Li Congyou would make such a move!
As soon as the piece was placed, he immediately felt the immense power it carried!
"Looking at the market as a whole, there's no more severe measure than this!"

"This is... a technique similar to the rooting point technique of the elephant!"

On the chessboard.

On the chessboard, this move, once placed, unleashed a genius brilliance unique to humankind!
"If, as they say online, he really is a god..."

"We humans also have dignity!"

Li Congyou slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Shao, his gaze sharp as a sword!

"Today, I will make this chessboard—"

"Stained with divine blood!"

Across from him, Yu Shao stared intently at the chessboard, constantly calculating the subsequent changes in the game, lost in deep thought.

After a long while, Yu Shao's expression also turned extremely cold. He picked up a chess piece again and quickly placed it down!

Three columns and eight rows, so long!

Li Congyou also picked up a chess piece almost instantly and placed it down quickly.

Two columns and seven columns, so long!

This move threatens to cut off Black's weak point, and it's a powerful move!
Yu Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he placed another chess piece down.

Three columns and six rows, in a row!

The moment the black piece landed, the white piece followed immediately.

Two columns, nine rows, climb!

"You just climbed up?"

Upon seeing this move, everyone froze in shock once again, then seemed to realize something, and their bodies went numb.

"I originally thought that Li Congyou, an 8th dan player, was planning to counterattack using the 'Taiwanese Elephant's Rooted Tesuji' technique..."

The young professional Go player, who was in charge of notating the game, moved his lips slightly as he looked at the Go board, feeling a sense of dread.

"wrong."

"Completely wrong!"

"Li Congyou, a master of the eighth dan, has a far greater ambition than I imagined!"

"After this crawling move, the entire group of black stones in the upper right corner doesn't even have enough eye space!"

"He's actually going to attack the large black group in the upper right corner!" Yu Shao quickly placed another piece on the board.

Hey!
Three columns and three rows, pointed!

Without hesitation, Li Congyou immediately picked up a piece and placed it diagonally above the black piece at position 3-3!

Four columns, two rows, jump!

Black's move at the 3-3 point is an attempt to create an eye and secure survival, while White's jump is an attempt to finish off Black!
If Black blocks, White will crawl and break the eye. Black will then stick to the cutting point, resulting in a complete death for Black locally. If Black turns, White will squeeze into the corner. If Black pushes, White will stand, and Black will also be killed!

If Black pushes, White will retreat, and the strength that White created by capturing stones on the right side will now come into play!

White must completely cut off Black's path to survival!
"It's impossible for anything to be done up there!"

Yu Shao also saw the life or death situation on the board and shifted his gaze to the bottom of the board.

"Simply trying to survive will only hasten your demise. If you want to live, you must go to the bottom, investigate the weaknesses of White's outer stones, and then..."

"Fight your way out!"

Click!

With the sound of the pieces colliding, the pieces are clipped out and then quickly fall.

Three columns and ten rows, awesome!

Li Congyou's expression was not relaxed at this moment either. He quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it down again.

Hey!
Two columns and nine rows, block!

Seeing that the white stones were blocking, Yu Shao almost instantly squeezed out the black stones and placed them again.

Four columns and eleven rows!
dig!
"A formidable opponent!"

The boy in charge of notating the score and the judges were completely dumbfounded.

This latest acquisition was also by a formidable opponent that exceeded their expectations!
Their first reaction was that White would cut and attack from above, but upon closer inspection, they found that the idea of ​​White cutting and attacking from above was not valid at all!
If White has already cut off from above, Black will have a commanding move to capture in the next move. Whether White captures or extends, after Black extends, White will be killed!

"If attacking from above doesn't work, then attack from below!"

Li Congyou quickly placed his piece again.

Four columns and twelve rows, attack!
Seeing the white piece fall, Yu Shao moved his pieces swiftly.

Three columns and twelve rows, break!
"Another formidable opponent..."

The young professional player responsible for notating the game was speechless. After this move cut, if White connects, Black will also connect. It seems that Black is in danger, but White's second-line stones are not alive either!
If White plays another move, Black can break through with a single attack and create a bloody path!
As he gazed at the chessboard, for the first time he truly felt as if swords and spears were flashing across it, and he sensed the ferocity of the clash between the two!
Every move is fraught with danger!
Every move must be aimed at killing the opponent!
Now, Black is actually going to turn the tables on White!
How the game proceeds next depends on the white pieces' response!

Under the watchful eyes of the world, Li Congyou picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it down!

Hey!
Four columns and ten rows, lift!

"Li Congyou, 8th Dan... unleashed his most ferocious move! He went straight for the flower, determined to fight the black pieces to the death, a fight to the death!"

Everyone held their breath, watching this incredibly intense confrontation!

Yu Shao placed his chess piece again.

Black, 2nd column, 11th row, attack!
Li Congyou also quickly placed his piece.

White!

Two columns and twelve rows!
Break!
On the chessboard, a familiar yet bizarre and strange chess shape has formed once again!

Another calamity has been ignited!

Previously, the black and white sides had engaged in a ko fight on the right wing of the board, but that ko fight was not significant. Yu Shao even forcefully resolved the ko, using a brilliant move to suppress the white stones!
But things are different now.

This calamity is far too great!

Because this calamity is too great, it is destined that both sides will have to face it!

Upon seeing the chessboard in front of him, Yu Shao finally couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it..."

Yu Shao slowly raised his head and looked at Li Congyou, his gaze somewhat cold.

"But in this game, he used ko fighting to force me into a corner, and I was indeed... cornered!"

Since his transmigration, Yu Shao has played many games, encountering some formidable opponents, such as Dongshan Xun, and others who made him feel threatened, such as Su Yiming.

However, no matter how winding and tortuous the process of those games, he always kept a general grasp of the overall situation; it was just that he put different amounts of thought into how to win.

But this game is different.

This was the first time in the world that the game had completely slipped out of his control.

Although he had previously held a significant advantage, the situation is now developing in a direction he has no control over.

"I might... lose?"

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard again, his eyes reflecting the two-colored pieces, constantly deducing the life and death on the board, trying to understand all the mysteries of the chessboard.

"Click!"

A moment later, the sound of Yu Shao's chess pieces colliding rang out again.

Yu Shao picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down!
Hey!
Four columns and eleven rows, a ko!

Seeing this move, Li Congyou was not surprised at all, and immediately placed a white piece.

Hey!
Nineteen columns, nine rows, pounce!
White's move to pounce into the tiger's mouth is a suicidal move, but because of the ko fight, this move is a huge ko threat. Black has no choice but to respond, cannot resolve the ko, and must respond immediately!
If we don't respond, the large black group on the right wing will be captured by the white stones, and then we can resign!
Yu Shao quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it down.

Nineteen columns, ten rows, lift!
Soon, Li Congyou also picked up a chess piece and quickly placed it down.

Three columns and eleven rows, a ko!

Yu Shao has already faced one calamity, and now it's his turn to find the calamity's hostage, while Li Congyou goes to face his own!
Yu Shao stared coldly at the chessboard, finally picked up a piece, and quickly placed it down.

And this time, the chess piece landed in the following position—

Fifteen columns and fifteen rows!

beat!
"beat?!"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the weapon Yu Shao had chosen.

This... robbery materials?
Li Congyou was also stunned. Then, as if he realized something, his eyes changed drastically, and he almost uncontrollably stood up slightly!
"This……"

A bead of cold sweat slowly slid down Li Congyou's cheek. He looked at the black piece that had just been placed on the chessboard as if he had seen something unbelievable!

If he sticks to respond to the ko, then when Black captures the ko, he won't be able to find suitable ko threats anywhere on the board, and he'll have no choice but to force his way out of the large group on the right wing!

Then, Black will likely face utter ruin!

The phrase "unresponsive to all calamities" means that no matter what the opponent does, the calamity must be forcibly eliminated!

Therefore, faced with Black's extremely bizarre move, he had no choice but to resolve the ko fight in advance!

Once the ko fight is resolved, the entire upper right area of ​​Black's stones will be dead!

"Rather than saying that White killed Black, it's more accurate to say that... Black committed suicide!"

Beside him, the young man aiming for professional rank, who was responsible for noting down the score, was terrified. He stared blankly at the chessboard, his mouth watering uncontrollably!

"White forced Black into a desperate situation with a ko fight, but... Black found the most bizarre ko threat and committed a horrific suicide!"

At this moment, the whole world is silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the chessboard, which seemed to have become somewhat blurry and unreal!
Yu Shao slowly raised his head, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes!
"Then, come on!"
