I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 348 Blood and Tears Chronicle
"With this move, Black directly made a contact!"

Upon seeing this move, everyone involuntarily took a deep breath, realizing Black's intention!
"Black needs to develop a strategy to secure their group here and create an exchange!"

This is indeed a strong move. If Black can really create an exchange, then Black still has a fighting chance.

However, Zhu Xinyuan's decision to take this action was unexpected by everyone.

This move, besides "peng" (碰), also has other ways to secure a group of stones, such as "ban" (板) and "da kong" (大选). Compared to "peng", "ban" and "da kong" are more stable and solid.

The subsequent changes after the collision are far too complex.

The market is already very complex at this point. After this move, the market will become completely blurred and impossible to see clearly!
"Teacher Zhu Xinyuan is unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his doom!"

The professional Go player with the glasses finally pushed up his glasses.

"Under these circumstances, we should still... maintain a complex market situation and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

……

……

Yu Shao gazed quietly at the chessboard, his hand already inside the chess box, feeling the cool temperature of the pieces. After a moment, he finally placed a piece between his fingers and slowly lowered it.

The chess piece slowly fell to the ground.

Hey!
Nine columns and eight rows, paste!

Seeing where White placed that move, Zhu Xinyuan's expression became extremely serious: "As expected, it attacked my key stones!"

Then, Zhu Xinyuan picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down.

Hey!
Eight columns and six rows, turn!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, both sides began placing their pieces around the small corner at the top.

Zhu Xinyuan's face was already covered in sweat. He stared at the chessboard, constantly taking chess pieces out of the chess box and quickly placing them on the board.

Da da da!

"Although a small corner was saved, the black stones were killed, making the white stones thicker and increasing the pressure on the black stones in the center!"

Everyone watched the game intently, their emotions rising and falling with each move of the pieces.

Black chooses to secure its own group, intending to create a transition. It is inevitable that White will kill Black's key group. Now White has gained the initiative and has many ways to attack. The question is how White will attack!
If Black can withstand White's fierce attack, then Black's chance of survival will appear!

Only by putting yourself in a life-or-death situation can you survive!
but--

If Black cannot withstand White's attack, Black will be completely wiped out and perish!
Black has gone all in, making a desperate gamble!

Soon, after a few more moves, Yu Shao stared at the chessboard, lost in deep thought.

You can hear a pin drop around you.

Everyone waited quietly for Yu Shao to make this crucial move that would determine the outcome of the battle.

"The market is very confusing. It seems like there are many possible moves, and each move has its own logic, making it difficult to distinguish which is better."

"The ability to find that one and only move amidst a complex and ambiguous board is a measure of a player's skill."

Some people stared at the game with a chill running down their spines: "So, how exactly should White attack with this move?"

"This game of chess, from its inception to now, has already amazed the world. How will it end?"

Finally, after a few moments, under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Shao reached into the chess box and slowly picked out a chess piece.

"Click."

The chess pieces collided, producing a metallic sound.

The next moment, Yu Shao lowered his eyes to look at the chessboard, took a chess piece from the chess box, and then slowly placed it down.

Hey!
Nine columns and seventeen rows, dismantle!
Upon seeing this move, everyone's eyes widened instantly, staring at the chessboard in disbelief, completely stunned!

"dismantle?"

Even Jiang Changdong was stunned and stood there, staring at the chessboard with a somewhat blurred vision.

"It's not a jump, it's not a lever, it's not a small flight, it's not even a break, it's a dismantling?"

"This is... a split?"

Everyone stared blankly at the chessboard, as if their minds had been subjected to an unprecedented and enormous shock!
On the chessboard, with White's move to split the board, a split shape that all players had to avoid has now appeared!
The so-called "cracked shape" can be firmly broken by the opponent, and through entanglement attacks, it will eventually be attacked from both sides!

At best, one might live a miserable life; at worst, a piece of one's body will surely die!
However, at this moment, White boldly and proactively played the split shape, even intending to use it to attack!

"No!"

Suddenly, a look of shock appeared on the faces of both Jiang Changdong and Zhuang Weisheng!

"That was a brilliant move!"

"Carefully consider this move; although it involves a split shape, its artistic conception is profound, and its effect is superb!"

Across from Yu Shao, a bead of cold sweat slowly rolled down Zhu Xinyuan's cheek.

"Beneath the most ambiguous and complex market conditions, he seized an excellent opportunity and found a move that was almost impossible to find!"

at this time.

Inside the chess hall, all was quiet.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the chessboard, while the clock hanging high on the wall continued to tick away.

Yu Shao looked down at the chessboard, his eyes calm.

The chessboard in front of him was reflected in his eyes.

It was the same in my past life, and it is the same in this life.

It was the same a thousand years ago, and it will be the same a thousand years from now.

The world is ever-changing.

The only constant is the thrilling battle on the chessboard!

……

....
After a long while, Zhu Xinyuan finally came to her senses, subconsciously gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with unwillingness, picked up a chess piece again, and then quickly placed it!

Hey!
Eleven columns and thirteen rows, Xiao Fei!
Yu Shao immediately picked up a chess piece and placed it down without backing down.

Hey!
Twelve columns and thirteen rows, paste!

On the chessboard, black and white pieces continued to fall, adding even more killing intent to the already complex and unpredictable game!
"This battle will determine the outcome of the entire battle!"

Everyone stared intently at the chessboard, knowing that the final battle of this game had finally begun!

"The fate of the entire operation is largely decided, and most of the territories have also been assigned to different owners!"

"This is the final battle, the battle that will determine our fate in one fell swoop!"

"The course of this game so far has already been enough to make it legendary, but what will the final middle and late stages look like?!"

"Although Black is at a disadvantage, there is still a chance to fight back; Black has not lost yet!"

"Although White has the advantage, it may still suffer a setback if it is not careful when facing Black's counterattack!"

On the chessboard, every move reflects the player's inner thoughts!

Watching each move of the black pieces on the chessboard, Yu Shao couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"It's... so good, so good."

Yu Shao himself never expected that this game of chess would turn out this way.

Even though he sacrificed a large piece worth fifty points to gain the initiative, he still doesn't seem to have completely crushed Black. Normally, the game should have been decided long ago by now.

Yu Shao could feel that every move Black made contained a strong sense of unwillingness and fighting spirit!

Black has managed to hold on until now, and is still not completely cornered!

"Behind me is the Go AI from my past life; those countless defeats are supporting me."

Yu Shao slowly raised his head and looked at Zhu Xinyuan, who was gritting his teeth and staring unwillingly at the chessboard in front of him.

Who is behind him?

"Who is supporting him?"

Yu Shao's eyes were somewhat dazed, as if he saw countless figures behind Zhu Xinyuan.

In the long river of history, the world's top Go players seemed to stand silently behind Zhu Xinyuan, watching this game intently through the weight of history!

Hey!
On the chessboard, the black piece is placed once again.

"There was no one behind him...."

Yu Shao looked down at the black piece that had just been placed, remained silent for a moment, then picked up another piece and quickly placed it down.

"still have a chance!"

Zhu Xinyuan clenched his back teeth tightly, completely unaware of the sweat streaming down his face!

"White's move to push is an adaptation, and my jump is strong, but... I have a feeling that this was something White planned long ago!"

Zhu Xinyuan stared intently at the chessboard, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit and resentment.

“By cutting off White’s stones here, we can use a ko fight to continue entangled with White!”

Click!

The piece is clipped out and then placed down!
"The white stones have been cut off!"

A young professional Go player, observing this move, pondered for a moment and finally discerned White's intention: "In such a dire situation, Black actually thought of using a ko fight to put up a stubborn resistance!"

"Teacher Zhu Xinyuan is truly a genius."

"I could never bring myself to do that in my entire life..."

He stared blankly at the chessboard, realizing the vast gap between himself and the two players.

Using "genius" to describe someone much older than himself is somewhat incongruous, but at this moment, he racked his brains and could only think of the word "genius."

In this situation, Black was already in dire straits. If it were him, he might have known that there was no way to turn the tide and would have already resigned. But Black still found the strongest move and continued to hold on!

Soon, the white piece was placed on the chessboard again.

He stared at the chessboard, speechless.

"Good...good move..."

On the chessboard, the black and white pieces are tightly intertwined. White attacks fiercely, while black struggles desperately. Although white has a strong position, black shows amazing resilience, and even white cannot do anything to black!

Black is even constantly thinking of taking a bite out of White!
The two sides were constantly entangled in the ko fight. Black hoped to use the ko to make a living group, while White also intended to use the ko fight to maintain pressure.

Everyone watched the game of chess in silence. This final battle, which was a matter of life and death, gripped everyone's hearts!
Looking at the chessboard in front of him, Yu Shao finally couldn't help but frown slightly.

This game should have ended much earlier; he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Black's tenacity was completely beyond his expectations.

"If we take a gradual approach, the battle lines will be stretched to an unbearable length."

"Moreover, in this process, if there is even one miscalculation, it will lead to utter ruin."

"If you are unwilling to go all out and always leave yourself room for maneuver, it is impossible to defeat the black pieces directly."

Yu Shao finally reached into the chess box again, his gaze becoming subtly sharp.

Snapped!
Eleven columns and thirteen rows, stop eating!
"We must cut off our own path to survival, fight Black to the death, and finally... decide the victor!"

……

……

Eleven columns and thirteen rows, stop eating!
The sound of the chess pieces hitting the board has never been so loud, so awe-inspiring!

"Directly capture all four black stones?!" Upon seeing this move, everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
This move is not difficult to understand!
But that's precisely why it's so terrifying!
White's move is intended to forcefully tear Black's pieces apart within Black's formation, causing chaos and leaving Black with no chance to compromise, thus putting both sides in a difficult position!
However, by playing this way, White is going too far into Black's territory, which is extremely risky for White, who could very well be surrounded and killed by Black!

This attitude can be described as excessively tough!
This is the last chance!

Zhu Xinyuan's eyelids twitched, and his teeth clenched even tighter. After a moment, he picked up another chess piece and placed it on the chessboard!
"Although Black's position is in imminent danger, White's position, which has penetrated deep into Black's territory, is also on the verge of collapse!"

"Success or failure depends on this!"

The chess pieces began to be placed on the board in a continuous alternation.

The game is nearing its endgame. Generally speaking, if the game is still undecided at this stage, the situation should be relatively calm. However, this game is different.

Even now, black and white are still tightly intertwined, the situation is so intense that they are irreconcilable, and every move is like a flash of swords on the board.

Tick, tick.

There was complete silence all around, except for the ticking of the clock.

Time passed by minute by minute.

White launched a fierce attack, and Black also fought back with all its might, trying its best to surround and kill!

Soon, another black piece was placed.

Upon seeing this move, some people couldn't help but be moved.

This move is a single official position.

The term "single official" refers to an official with almost no number of titles and extremely low value.

Except for the final minor endgame moves, almost no one would play a single point, but Black played it at this moment.

"To suppress the white pieces, the black pieces have risked everything, even their lives..."

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
"White is about to be forced into a dead end!"

Someone murmured softly.

No one spoke.

Everyone remained focused on the game, saying nothing.

On the chessboard, Black used every trick in the book, employing all sorts of methods, until White finally showed signs of impending doom.

However, no one was emotionally affected by this scene.

Bai Zi is indeed dying.

but--

The group of dead white stones, which were in dire straits, seemed to be radiating an eerie light at this moment!

Looking at this chessboard, they seemed to witness a fierce battle involving thousands of troops, with bones scattered everywhere, a truly shocking sight!

Yu Shao gazed quietly at the chessboard, then picked up another piece and slowly placed it down.

Snapped!
Nineteen columns and twelve rows, sharp!

Zhu Xinyuan's face was somewhat pale. He picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down!
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces are still locked in a seemingly endless battle!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
As everyone stared at the chessboard and the game, their expressions changed drastically, replaced by a deep sense of bewilderment.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Xinyuan placed another chess piece.

Nine columns and fifteen rows, perfect!
Everyone stared at the chessboard with complicated expressions, already able to discern the life or death of the pieces.

Zhu Xinyuan succeeded.

The white stones that had penetrated deep into black's territory were ultimately suppressed by black after black paid a heavy price.

White's pieces were completely wiped out.

The final answer to this game of chess is finally becoming clear.

Just then, Yu Shao played a white piece and placed it down again.

Hey.

Ten columns, nine rows, jump!

Not far away, upon seeing Yu Shao's move, the female recorder in charge of notating the game fell silent, not writing it down for a long time.

All around was silent.

Zhu Xinyuan looked at the white piece that had just been placed, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not utter a word. He stared at the chessboard in front of him, his gaze even slightly unfocused.

Everyone watched the game in silence, and a somber atmosphere filled the chess hall.

Yes.

desolate.

For a small ko in the corner, Black risked everything, and as a result, all of White's dead stones were connected and launched a riot in Black's home base!

In the end, White was suppressed by Black at a heavy cost, but White also fought to the death and perished together!

Even if all the other pieces are captured by the white pieces, it is still worth it for the black pieces to be able to kill the white pieces to pieces!

"This is the best game of chess that Teacher Zhu Xinyuan has ever played in his life."

The bespectacled young man stared blankly at the chessboard, muttering, "But even Teacher Zhu Xinyuan, despite his best efforts, couldn't break down this high wall..."

"This wall is just too thick, too thick..."

He suddenly wondered what the reactions of Jiang Changdong and Zhuang Weisheng, who had witnessed the game, would be, so he slowly turned his head and looked at the two of them.

The two men showed no emotion on their faces; they remained silent, staring at the chessboard without ever looking away.

silence.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

Looking at the big picture, it's practically a world-class military history presentation.

The opening sequence of White's moves was incredibly agile and graceful. Despite suffering local losses, White maintained the initiative, making seven entries and exits, demonstrating the essence of guerrilla warfare.

Subsequently, White shockingly abandoned a large group of its painstakingly cultivated stones, resulting in a fifty-point deficit that plunged the game into a desperate situation.

But White's next twenty moves, with its constant darting and maneuvering in the center, were dazzling and ultimately delivered an incredibly impressive performance, putting Black in a desperate situation!

then……

This isn't even the peak yet; the best is yet to come!
Finally, a small corner ignited a full-scale battle, with Black paying a heavy price to ultimately suppress White. Countless dead White stones were connected and converged in Black's heartland—

In the end, they completely defeated Black!

The game was magnificent and unforgettable, enough to make all the chess players prostrate themselves on the ground, looking up at the masterpiece full of brilliant strategies and dazzling light.

"It's over..."

The chess club owner, Gao Wanwan, stared blankly at the chess game.

Seeing such a chess game played in her own little chess hall, she should have been overjoyed.

However, at least at this moment, she felt only a sense of inexplicable sorrow and regret.

It's so tragic.

In Go, there is a type of game record called the "Blood and Tears Record," which contains many wonderful games.

She didn't understand before and thought the term "Blood and Tears Manual" was too strange. She thought that something as close to the Tao as Go should have a nice and elegant name, such as the Divine Strategy Manual or the Forget-Worries Manual.

The words "blood and tears" sound too desperate and oppressive, and don't fit the tone of Go.

But at this moment, she seemed to understand.

How can such a game of chess not be described as a bloody and tearful affair?
Finally, after a while, Zhu Xinyuan lowered his head deeply, neither placing a piece nor resigning, even though the outcome of this game was already predetermined.

Two games of chess.

They all lost.

After losing the first game, he was shocked, but more than that, he felt unwilling to accept defeat. However, after the game was over, he felt only a deep sense of powerlessness and... bewilderment.

This was a game he played with all his might; he had never played a game in his entire life that could surpass this one. But even so, he ultimately lost.

"This is……"

Jiang Changdong finally turned his gaze away from the chessboard and looked at Yu Shao—

"Yu Shao".

Zhuang Weisheng remained silent, his head bowed as he gazed at the chessboard, observing the intricate situation on it.

Seeing this game of chess, he suddenly felt that... all the famous games he had seen before seemed somewhat lackluster.

Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, quietly watching the chess game; the chess hall remained completely silent.

Tick, tick, tick.

On the wall, the clock keeps ticking, and time keeps passing.

Although everyone could see that the game was already decided, Zhu Xinyuan still did not resign or continue playing to finish the meaningless endgame.

For a veteran chess player who is already forty years old, this is undoubtedly extremely impolite and inappropriate. However, seeing such a tragic game, not a single person had the heart to criticize him.

Several young professional Go players, looking at Zhu Xinyuan sitting quietly with his head bowed, were somewhat moved to tears.

That's Zhu Xinyuan, who once held two major titles and stood at the top of the Go pyramid!

At this moment, he didn't even respond to the most basic etiquette of a chess player, but simply sat there with his head bowed.

They didn't know what Zhu Xinyuan was thinking, but they knew how deeply he felt resentful and how turbulent his heart was.

Despite giving it their all, they ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. Only those involved truly know the bitterness and pain they endured.

Words may not be able to express this extremely complex emotion, so I can only sit silently in front of the chessboard, expressing my myriad emotions in this silent resistance.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

Yu Shao sat silently in front of the chessboard, waiting quietly.

Zhu Xinyuan did not wait until the time limit expired. After a while, in the silence, he finally spoke in a weak voice, "I lost."

The surroundings suddenly became even quieter.

The looks that Zhuang Weisheng and Jiang Changdong gave Zhu Xinyuan were both incredibly complicated.

"Thanks for the advice."

Upon hearing Zhu Xinyuan admit defeat, Yu Shao finally lowered his head and spoke to Zhu Xinyuan.

"Thank you for your guidance."

Zhu Xinyuan also lowered his head, but his voice was not only weak, but also somewhat hoarse.

This game of chess has finally come to a complete end!

Yu Shao remained silent for a moment, looking at the chessboard in front of him, and reached out to tidy up the pieces.

Just then, Zhuang Weisheng, who had been silent since the middle and later stages of the game, finally spoke again: "Yu Shao, third dan."

Yu Shao was slightly taken aback, then turned his head to look at Zhuang Weisheng.

"We've never faced each other on the field before, have we?"

Zhuang Weisheng stared intently at Yu Shao and said, "I sincerely look forward to our game in the National Chess Tournament soon!"
