I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 355 His chess style...who does it resemble?

Yu Shao stared quietly at the chessboard, looking at the black piece that had just been placed on it.

"I've chosen Dafei..."

Yu Shao's gaze became more focused. This move was different from the Super Kfly. If he tried to deal with this move using the same method he used when facing the Super Kfly, he would only be asking for trouble.

"This is... Zhuang Weisheng."

He could clearly perceive the profound meaning hidden in this move and feel its aggressive and imposing power.

From an AI's perspective, in Go openings, while extending along the side is not bad, it is never as good as defending the corner or approaching the corner. This is why the super-large knight's move was eliminated in the previous game.

This move, the large knight's move, although it extends the side, is more inclined to defend the corner. Compared to the super large knight's move, this move is a complete transformation!

Although without AI support, I didn't fully realize that defending and approaching corners are better than extending the sides in the opening stage, but relying solely on my intuition, I vaguely sensed it and made a better move!
Go is a game of change; since Black has played a large knight's move, White's response should naturally change as well.

"Click!"

A moment later, Yu Shao reached into the chess box again, picked out a chess piece, and slowly placed it on the board.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the world, the chess piece was finally placed on the chessboard!

Hey!
Sixteen columns and fifteen rows, hanging high!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they saw this move.

"Hanging high?"

Someone murmured, "It's still hanging high up?"

"Faced with Teacher Zhuang Weisheng's new tactic, Yu Shao chose to observe quietly."

Someone swallowed hard, staring intently at the board, thinking, "However, this observation isn't a tactic to abandon the game and try something else, but rather to continue pressuring Black and see what Black's response is!"

"Unexpectedly, the safest approach in the face of this entirely new unborn trend is to exit early, but Yu Shao still chose to hold his position high and observe the changes in the market!"

"Since Teacher Zhuang Weisheng made this move, the first thing White should have considered was the corner approach, but Yu Shao still made this move. Is this like knowingly walking into a tiger's den?"

In the live stream, the barrage of comments flew by like a waterfall.

Zhuang Weisheng quickly picked up another piece and placed it next to the white piece.

Yu Shao immediately picked up a chess piece and quickly placed it on the board.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Under everyone's tense gaze, black and white pieces began to fall alternately on the chessboard, spreading outwards. The intent of the black and white pieces clashing was already evident on the chessboard!
"If we attack rashly in the next move, it will be very dangerous!"

Zhuang Weisheng gazed at the chessboard, as if he could already see its future.

Or rather, he had indeed calculated the game to a very late stage; just laying out what he saw would probably make anyone break out in a cold sweat!
"After he plays high, I lean outwards. My ideal move is for White to play a block, Black to retreat, White to connect, then Black to play a block, White can only respond, and then Black to play another block..."

"With this development, the final outcome will naturally be satisfactory for Black."

"However, when I leaned against the outside, he leaned directly against the three-three-in-one angle."

Zhuang Weisheng stared intently at the chessboard, seemingly trying to see further into the future of the game, far enough to see clearly the path ahead shrouded in thick fog!
"If I choose to play defensively, will he continue to attack?"

"Yes, the position here is not stable yet. If I rashly make a move, White will definitely invade the gap. Although I have dead stones to use, he will definitely be able to see through it."

"This kind of trap is of no use to him."

"We must get rid of our prejudices and look at the game from a different perspective in order to see the way forward."

"There are still places on the chessboard that I haven't noticed."

Zhuang Weisheng's gaze became even more focused.

"where!"

……

……

Inside a luxury apartment in Gangneung.

"This move is a bit tricky."

Zhuang Fei leaned forward, staring intently at the computer screen without blinking. The blue light emanating from the computer shone on his face, almost turning his entire face blue!
"Black is trying to gain the initiative everywhere, but... White's moves are also incredibly agile, and the situation is still evenly matched between the two sides."

"Who will win and who will lose in this confrontation..."

Zhuang Fei couldn't help but recall the game he played against Yu Shao in the professional ranking tournament last year, and he gritted his teeth.

He hasn't even reached the professional level yet, but Yu Shao is already going to face off against his father in the professional arena!

Just then, after a long period of deliberation, another black piece finally fell on the computer screen.

Hey.

Fourteen columns and eighteen rows, jump!

Upon seeing this move, Zhuang Fei was first stunned, then suddenly shocked, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Dad... jumped away?"

"Why?!"

Zhuang Fei, puzzled, re-examined the chessboard. After a moment, he suddenly realized something, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"I see……"

"It's actually like this!"

Zhuang Fei was so shocked that he could hardly speak.

"If the black stones move outwards, the white stones will push forward, the black stones will retreat, and the white stones will extend... In the end, the black stones in the lower right corner will be forced to their deaths by the white stones, and the white stones will gain territory."

"However, Black also has its own compensation. Not only does it have a large number of pieces on the outside, forming a powerful external influence, but its surrounding pieces also cooperate very well, so the two sides are still evenly matched!"

"...From a normal understanding perspective, that is indeed the case!"

"However, if you look at it from a different perspective, it's completely different!"

Zhuang Fei stared at the computer screen in shock, his mind buzzing.

"If we compare this variation in the lower right corner with the 3-3 point joseki, we can see that the territory gained by White in the corner far exceeds that of the 3-3 point joseki!"

"Although Black gained influence on the outside, White's territory in the corner is too large. This variation is actually a slightly disadvantageous one for Black!"

Zhuang Fei took a deep breath and stared intently at the computer screen.

"Dad's judgment on the value of territory and influence has changed! He finally realized this, avoided the trap, and even turned the tables on White!"

……

……

Meanwhile, at the Southern Chess Academy, inside the reporter's office.

"Yu Shao must have been quite surprised as well."

Ding Huan stared intently at the computer screen, his face still filled with lingering shock: "He was the one who first played the 3-3 move, but now, because of the 3-3 move, Teacher Zhuang Weisheng has seen through his intentions."

"If it were a year ago, I'm afraid anyone would have made that turn without hesitation, and in that case, White would have easily gained the upper hand."

"Do not……"

"Even now, although the 3-3 point has been proven, I'm afraid almost all players will still subconsciously choose to turn."

"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng can only make the jump because he is Zhuang Weisheng!"

…… ……

Hands talking indoors.

Yu Shao stared quietly at the chessboard, his face devoid of any emotion, as if he would remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. Yet, beneath that calm expression, there seemed to be a hint of coldness.

A moment later, Yu Shao reached into the chess box again, picked out a chess piece, and then slowly placed it down.

Hey!
Seven columns and twelve rows, Little Fly!

Seeing this move, Zhuang Weisheng remained calm, looking at the white piece that had just been placed.

"White, it's time to make your move!"

Beside her, the female notary couldn't help but crane her neck to look at the chessboard not far away.

"However, it's actually a small knight's move. He doesn't plan to directly use his strong position to invade, but instead launches a small knight's move attack. In that case, he won't be able to invade the black stones anymore and will only be able to reduce their numbers. That's quite unexpected."

She had also read many of Yu Shao's game records and could see that Yu Shao had a fierce playing style of "preferring to break rather than bend," and often crushed his opponents with precise calculations in complex situations.

Therefore, she thought Yu Shao would directly use his strong position to invade Black's territory, but to her surprise, Yu Shao did not choose to invade, but instead launched a strong attack on Black's territory.

Although White is launching a strong attack on Black, the damage to Black is not as great as White's invasion. A strong attack is equivalent to a head-on confrontation, while an invasion is equivalent to directly attacking the opponent's headquarters.

Of course, the risks of a strong attack are much smaller than those of an invasion. After all, if you invade, White is playing within the opponent's territory and will face encirclement and suppression from all sides by Black.

Zhuang Weisheng pondered for a moment, then reached into the chess box again, picked up a chess piece, and placed it down.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The pieces began to be placed alternately, and after seven or eight moves, it was soon Yu Shao's turn to play again.

"Click!"

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, picked up a piece amidst the clattering of pieces, and placed it down again.

Hey!
Four columns and ten rows, dismantle!

As soon as the piece was placed, the three people in the game room, who had just been engrossed in the game, suddenly froze. Even Zhuang Weisheng, who was sitting opposite Yu Shao, couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

"White...has invaded?!"

Not just in the game room, but everyone watching this game at this moment had their minds blank.

The official live stream of the National Players Tournament was in an uproar!
"???"

"What do you mean?"

"White has invaded Black's territory? Why didn't you invade earlier, but now?"

"I don't understand, what kind of operation is this?"

At that moment, in the seminar room of the Seoul Baduk Association, Lee Hyun-moo was also staring at the computer screen with a shocked expression.

After a moment, Lee Hyun-moo finally exclaimed in disbelief: "It's understandable that White would use its strength to invade!"

"Why go for a small knight's move first, to build up Black's strength before invading? Doesn't that violate traditional Go principles? It's practically a counter-joint move!"

This is not just a problem in Lee Hyun-moo's mind, but a problem in everyone's mind!
It should be noted that Black had no strong position just now, which was the best opportunity for White to invade. Although there would be danger in invading, the danger would not be too great. If played well, White should be able to live.

However, White chose to launch a strong attack on Black, and Black used White's strong attack to strengthen its own outer defense. As a result, at this moment, White actually chose to invade!
With Black's outer stones so thick, if White were to invade again, it would be a near-certain death for White. And yet, all of this was entirely White's own fault!

This is an absolutely mind-blowing move, completely beyond everyone's imagination!
There was a lot of discussion online.

People around the world are discussing this game, shocked by White's choice of move.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have lost their composure upon seeing this move, but Zhuang Weisheng was only stunned for a moment before calmly gazing at the chessboard and falling into thought.

"At this point, White's invasion seems absurd, but it is a matter of life and death, not a certain death. Since White has the possibility of living, it cannot be called a bad move."

"But... no one would actually do that."

"Perhaps White can live, but that would be an extremely difficult path. Perhaps if White lives, the board would be slightly better than if White were to directly invade, but no one would take such a big risk for that."

"No one has ever played this kind of game before."

"Generally speaking, a chess player's playing style is influenced by external factors and past players, and there are always players with similar playing styles."

"For example, Su Yiming's playing style was clearly influenced by Shen Yi, while Shen Yi's playing style was deeply influenced by his predecessor, Yang Shigong, who in turn was influenced by his teacher..."

"I have read so many chess records, and I know about both ancient and modern chess players."

"Go has a long history, spanning four thousand years."

Zhuang Weisheng couldn't help but raise his head and look at Yu Shao.

"But whose style of play does he resemble?"

"His chess skills are strong, but his biggest problem is that he can't find..."

"Looking at all the chess players throughout history, we still can't find a single one whose playing style is similar to his..."

"why?"

Why is there a chess player whose playing style is completely different from all previous chess players?

"It is impossible to find a chess player whose playing style is not even similar to another player."

After a moment, Zhuang Weisheng finally snapped out of his reverie, turned his gaze away from Yu Shao, and looked back at the chessboard in front of him.

"White's position seems precarious, but upon closer examination, it appears to hold hidden dangers. It's best not to enter the game lightly."

Zhuang Weisheng reached into the chess box, picked out a chess piece, and slowly placed it down.

"This game of chess may seem chaotic, but it is actually unfathomably profound."

Hey!
Six columns and three rows, Little Fly!
"Teacher Zhuang Weisheng...aren't you going to attack?"

Upon seeing Zhuang Weisheng's move, the female recorder and the two referees swallowed hard, their faces showing shock.

"At this moment, facing White's invasion, Black doesn't even launch an attack?!"

White's invasion was excessive, making it very easy for Black to capture White. However, to everyone's surprise, Black did not attack in the face of White's invasion, but merely blocked it!
"can't read……"

At this moment, everyone who was watching this game was completely dumbfounded and full of questions: "This game is incomprehensible."

Upon seeing Zhuang Weisheng's move, Yu Shao's gaze darkened slightly.

"Did you notice it?"

Yu Shao lowered his eyes to look at the chessboard, constantly calculating the subsequent changes on the board in his mind.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Countless netizens are still discussing the dozen or so moves made by Yu Shao and Zhuang Weisheng, analyzing the meaning of each move.

A moment later, Yu Shao finally reached into the chess box again and picked out a chess piece with a click.

The next moment, the chess piece was placed.

Hey!
Five columns and three rows, with a pointed top!
In an instant, the entire world, all the discussions and whispers, came to an abrupt halt, leaving only a deep silence!

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
