I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 366 The Strongest Healer for Orphans
"Sever it?"

Yu Shao gazed at the chessboard, mentally calculating the subsequent changes on the board.

"If White chooses to jump, he might directly move up? In that case, White might actually have a way to counterattack, or perhaps choose to sacrifice a stone on the bottom?"

Yu Shao slowly reached into the chess box, his fingertips touching the chess pieces.

"However, that method seems a bit too cunning, and it could easily backfire if one is not careful."

"In this market situation, the strongest move is indeed—"

Click!

With a clattering sound, the pieces were clipped out and then fell swiftly to the ground!
Hey!
Eight columns and ten rows, Little Fly!
"Eight out of ten, Xiao Fei!"

Li Congyou stared intently at the chessboard. When he saw Yu Shao make a move, his expression changed, but he quickly picked up a piece and placed it down as well.

Hey!
Seven columns and five rows, turn!

"Putting it on top, that's a pretty strong move!"

Yu Shao was slightly surprised, but quickly noticed several changes in the chart.

"However, I only need to block lightly and make room on the top. White can only respond, so White cannot invest too much in the center, and it will be more difficult to secure its own group later."

Having considered all the variables on the board, Yu Shao picked up another chess piece and slowly placed it down.

Hey!
Eight columns and five elements, block!

Upon seeing this move, Li Congyou's hand, which had just reached into the chess box to pick up a piece, froze instantly, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

The referee looked at Li Congyou with some concern, realizing that the situation for White was not good. This block hit White's weak point!
Time passed second by second, and Li Congyou stared at the chessboard, lost in a long period of contemplation.

"I did want to secure the lone piece, but he didn't play the moves I expected. He kept making casual moves on the outside, so much so that he didn't even have a chance to fight Black to the death!"

"If we don't hurry, once the chessboard gets narrower and narrower, we might not have any chance left!"

Li Congyou stared intently at the chessboard, searching for a way out for the white pieces.

"Of course there is."

"Although the situation is not good, I can sense that there is a way for White to live on the board!"

"where!"

Time continued to pass, and this time, Li Congyou's long period of contemplation exceeded everyone's expectations. More than twenty minutes passed, and Li Congyou still hadn't made a move.

Tick, tick, tick.

Time keeps turning.

Finally, after thinking for more than half an hour, Li Congyou reached into the chess box again, picked out a chess piece, and quickly placed it down!
Hey!
Six columns and four rows, tiger!

"A tiger?"

After seeing Li Congyou finally make his move after half an hour of contemplation, Yu Shao almost instantly understood Li Congyou's intention, and his expression was not surprised.

"You want to fix this area first, then remove the 'first' and go to the middle to treat the orphan?"

"It's no use, I've already considered this option."

"In this board position, White has no options in the center and no effective moves to make."

After a moment's thought, Yu Shao reached into the chess box and placed a piece again.

Six columns, three rows, fire!

Li Congyou stared intently at a point on the chessboard, reached into the chess box, picked up a chess piece, and placed it down as if he couldn't wait!
"The way out is right here!"

Hey!
The chess piece landed on the chessboard with a crisp sound!
Eleven columns and nine rows —

dig!
Yu Shao was about to make his move, but when he saw where Li Congyou had placed his piece, he was taken aback.

挖？
Yu Shao stared at the chessboard, watching the white piece that had just been placed, and his expression finally changed!
Not only Yu Shao, but also the notary, the two referees, and even Zhuang Weisheng all showed a look of astonishment on their faces, staring at the chessboard in shock!

The entire game room fell silent; the whole world was utterly still!

At this moment, everyone in the world who was watching this game was stunned, their heads buzzing and their faces showing shock!
Everyone stared at the white piece that had just been placed!

Eleven columns and nine rows!
dig!
The whole world is now plunged into a deep, deathly silence!

……

……

"dig!"

Su Yiming stared at the computer screen, looking at this visually striking move.

The next moment, he stood up almost uncontrollably: "There's such a trick up his sleeve!"

Su Yiming stared intently at the computer screen, even somewhat lost in thought!
"This move squeezes out Black's liberties. If Black doesn't gain more liberties, White's clamp becomes a forcing move. If the clamp is a forcing move, then capturing naturally becomes a forcing move as well!"

"In this way, White's previous move, which seemed questionable, now makes sense!"

"White's path to survival has become clear!"

……

……

On the other side, Ding Huan stared blankly at the computer screen, her hands, which were typing on the keyboard, stopped.

"White moves seventy-eighth, dig!"

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out!
After a long while, Ding Huan's face turned red, and he became extremely agitated, frantically typing on the keyboard!
"White has made such a move!"

"I'm just a Go journalist. My skill level in Go is naturally not as good as that of professional players, but I've seen far too many games. I've probably seen more games than professional players!"

"However, watching the two players play their moves one by one, you can clearly hear the sound of your fighting spirit being crushed."

"This move needs absolutely no explanation; the visual impact it delivers is the best testament to its power! If you could understand the language of this move, the shock you feel in your heart would be the silent explosion of its power!"

"Regardless of the outcome of this game, Li Congyou's move alone is enough to make him a legend!"

"This is the Go game of Li Congyu, 8-dan!"

……

……

Seoul, North and South Korea.

"That move..."

A young professional chess player's Adam's apple bobbed, his mouth was dry, and his vision became somewhat glazed as he stared at the computer screen.

"Li Congyou, an 8-dan player, seized that fleeting opportunity amidst the ambiguous board situation and played his best move!"

"This move is a masterpiece of nature!"

"The strongest way to deal with a lone dragon isn't through those dazzling, complex maneuvers that emerge from a perilous situation!" "It's the iron will of 'Even if you give me another chance, I'll still fill all your openings!'"

"This is the will of steel!"

Everyone around was also staring at the computer screen in shock, completely able to empathize with the young man's excitement!

Looking at this move, everyone couldn't help but recall that spirited figure from back then, the one who once rivaled Zhu Huai'an and was hailed as a genius!

This move was astonishing!
……

……

Hands talking indoors.

Yu Shao stared intently at the chessboard, his mind constantly deducing the upcoming changes in the game.

This digging move by White was indeed unexpected. He had calculated almost every possible variation, but he hadn't seen White's digging move!

Because this move of digging is not a move that can be thought of under normal circumstances, and it is even completely opposite to the normal thinking!

Yu Shao re-examined the chessboard, and his expression gradually became serious.

"I did make a mistake."

After White's move to dig, the black stones in the center were instantly in grave danger, and even their connection on the sidelines was cut off, putting them at risk of being attacked by White!
Time keeps passing.

After pondering for more than ten minutes, Yu Shao reached into the chess box, his expression becoming increasingly serious. Finally, he picked up a chess piece again and quickly placed it down!
"We must go all out and completely cut off White's chance of survival!"

"Otherwise, I would be the one who loses!"

Hey!
Faced with Li Congyou's poaching attempt, Yu Shao finally responded!

Nine columns and seventeen rows, attack!
One move can cause a thousand waves!

"beat!"

Seeing Yu Shao's response after a long period of thought, some people couldn't help but gasp: "Faced with White's digging, Black's choice was not to retreat, but to attack?"

"Shouldn't you back down now?"

"I don't quite understand. Why not retreat here? Does Black have another move up his sleeve? Retreating is almost an inevitable move, isn't it?"

"I can't see it either, but since Yu Shao placed it in this position, he must have been confident. Yet, I just can't figure it out. If he plays, White will clamp down, and how will Black respond?"

No one expected that Li Congyou's previous digging move, which had already amazed everyone and exceeded their expectations, would be followed by Yu Shao's response, which once again exceeded their imagination!

The entire audience was captivated by the tense and deadly game, their eyes glued to the board, waiting for White's response.

Soon, White made another move.

Hey!
Nine columns and nine rows, sandwiched!

Soon, both sides made ten moves, and an expression of disbelief gradually crept onto everyone's faces!
Only then did they belatedly realize why, after White played the dig, Black did not choose to retreat but instead played an inexplicable attack!
Indeed, with this choice, Black will find itself in a difficult battle as it becomes entangled with White.

Although Black is fighting a tough battle, it won't be completely defeated. If the variations on this line are calculated thoroughly, it can be predicted that after these variations are played, Black will have an extra stone on the outside.

This one piece will play a decisive role in the outcome of the game, something that no one has noticed!
It's like a lion that's calm to the extreme. Even when a venomous snake coils around its body, its first reaction isn't to frantically try to shake it off, but to bite the snake's vital spot!

"too strong!"

Some people couldn't help but murmur in shock.

"If it were me, I would probably panic immediately after encountering Black's digging move, but White calmly played the best move and even calculated all the variations under such a complex board situation!"

A professional chess player swallowed hard, feeling an unprecedented gap in skill, a gap that seemed like an insurmountable chasm, almost driving him to despair!

"With such a complex market situation, what kind of calculation, judgment, composure, and imagination does it take to make that move?"

This gap, which is destined to be impossible to bridge with effort, is enough to make one despair!

On the chessboard, the pieces continued to be placed, and everyone was completely captivated by the game, their emotions rising and falling with the changes in the game!
At this moment, the black and white pieces on the chessboard were tightly intertwined, all showing a ferocious appearance, ready to fight to the death on this small chessboard!
White was checkmated and launched a fierce counterattack, directly trapping Black's isolated stones. Black, in turn, fought back fiercely within White's territory, trying to carve out a bloody path!
The chessboard was filled with bloodshed; every move of the chess piece seemed to bring down a thousand troops and leave behind piles of white bones!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The sound of chess pieces hitting the board echoed continuously in the game room. As everyone in the game room watched the game, cold sweat unknowingly seeped from their foreheads.

Li Congyou gritted his teeth, his back was completely soaked with sweat, and the sweat slowly flowed down his cheeks, but he seemed completely unaware of it.

After a long half-hour deliberation, he finally grasped that move, not only finding a way out for White, but even aiming to reverse the situation in one fell swoop!
However, the result was a thousand times more difficult than he had imagined. Every move by White was ruthless and cunning, constantly attacking his weaknesses. By this point, he had not found a single opportunity!

"Logically speaking, things shouldn't have reached this stalemate."

Li Congyou clenched his left fist, picked up a chess piece with his right hand, and placed it down again.

Meanwhile, opposite Li Congyou, Yu Shao's expression was not relaxed either, his eyes were somewhat cold. Seeing Li Congyou place a piece, he quickly picked up a piece and followed suit, placing it on the chessboard.

Hey!
Ten columns and eight rows, charge!

"Rush!"

Upon seeing this move, Li Congyou could almost feel the overwhelming killing intent contained within the chess piece!
Black's move is a commanding move, leaving White no room to respond. However, if White responds, Black might use this move to their advantage, forcing White to play a heavy game!

"Next move, I'll pull from above. If he grows back, I'll use a flying hook. If he comes down and seizes the top spot first, I'll cut!"

"As long as I suppress this group of black stones on the bottom, I can free up my hands to deal with the remaining black stones, and then I can win in one fell swoop!"

Li Congyou stared intently at the chessboard, his gaze sharp. After a moment of contemplation, he picked up another piece and placed it down, just like the black piece.

Hey!
Fourteen columns and fourteen rows, turn!

Yu Shao also quickly placed his chess piece.

Fourteen columns and fifteen rows, town!

"It really worked..."

Li Congyou instantly grabbed a piece and placed it right next to the black piece.

"As long as I suppress the black pieces at the bottom, I can gain the initiative in the center!"

Hey!
Thirteen columns and sixteen rows, break!

Click!

The sound of a piece being grabbed rang out again, and Yu Shao quickly placed the piece on the board!
Eleven columns and thirteen rows, so sharp!

"It's sharp?"

Upon seeing this move, Li Congyou was startled, and his expression changed slightly.

This was a move he hadn't expected at all. Black was willing to lose points to forcibly take away White's eye space and even threatened to break through White's territory!
"Damn it!"

Li Congyou gritted his teeth, reached into the chess box again, picked out a white piece, and placed it with lightning speed!
Hey!
Fourteen columns and ten rows, pounce!
Seeing this series of sword-fighting exchanges between the two sides, everyone held their breath, their hearts filled with shock!

After White's digging move, White made more than ten consecutive moves, almost every one of which was a killing move, each move was forceful. Even those who were not involved in the game felt as if they could not breathe, let alone Li Congyou.
