I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 373 Bait and Fish

"Is this a direct corner hook?"

Yu Shao gazed at the chessboard, lost in thought.

There are many ways to counter a small flying attack, the most common being to respond with a small flying attack in return. One side attacks, and the other side counters accordingly, making the battle very long.

Besides the small knight's move, the pincer attack is also a sharp move. Instead of defending, it directly adopts an offensive posture, treating the white stones in the corner as isolated stones, and then launching a counterattack to surround and kill the white stones.

Of course, ignoring White's attack and going to re-attach White's corner is also a tough countermeasure!

but--

There is another way to play, which he just used not long ago.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Shao finally reached into the chess box, picked out a chess piece, and slowly placed it down.

Hey!
Fifteen columns in three rows, with a pointed top!

Upon seeing this move, everyone in the game room couldn't help but change their expressions, all focusing intently on the chessboard.

"It has appeared, that irresistible spike!"

The notarizer suppressed the tremor in his heart, immediately moved the mouse, and placed the chess piece in sync.

Seeing Yu Shao make this sharp move, Jiang Changdong's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it. He immediately reached into the chess box, picked up a chess piece, and quickly placed it down!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
On the intricately woven chessboard, pieces began to spread out, and the crisp sound of pieces being placed echoed throughout the game room.

Su Yiming gazed intently at the chessboard not far away, watching the two players place their pieces one by one.

"The National Masters Tournament consists of only three games. Whoever wins the first game has more room for error and will undoubtedly have a greater advantage in the subsequent games. The person who loses the first game will be under tremendous pressure."

Su Yiming couldn't help but recall the chess records of Jiang Changdong that he had read. As one of the top chess players in the world, Su Yiming had naturally played more than one or two games of Jiang Changdong's chess records.

"His calculations are profound. He is good at creating complex situations and then crushing his opponents with precise calculations. He strikes immediately when he sees a weakness and kills the opponent's dragon in one fell swoop."

"Jiang Changdong is also a chess player not to be underestimated."

Just then, Jiang Changdong placed his white piece again.

Hey!
Eight columns and five rows, wow!

"White placed the stone on the top side, indicating that he is very confident in his ability to secure his isolated group."

Upon seeing this move, Su Yiming composed himself and focused intently on the chessboard, pondering the subsequent developments as the game progressed.

"Therefore, now that White's position is unstable, it is the perfect opportunity for Black to play defensively and disrupt the game!"

The thought had just popped into Su Yiming's mind when he saw Yu Shao pick up a chess piece and place it with lightning speed!

Hey!
Eight columns, four rows, bang!

Just as Su Yiming had expected, facing White's move, Black immediately abandoned its initial position and took advantage of the situation, directly attacking White's weak points and giving White no chance to breathe!

"White needs to retaliate immediately after this move. Although there are many possible positions for White, it seems that White's strongest move is still—"

Su Yiming stared at the chessboard, his eyes shining: "Extend!"

The white piece is pulled out and then falls!
Nine columns and five rows, so long!

Hit the nail on the head!
Seeing Jiang Changdong make his move, Yu Shao pondered for a moment and immediately picked up his own piece, placing it on the board right behind him.

Da da da!

Black and white pieces intertwine on the board, and in the upper left corner of the board, a fierce and constantly tumultuous battle unfolds!

"This is just the beginning, and the situation is already so intense!"

Su Yiming stared at the chessboard, his expression becoming increasingly focused. Even though he was just watching the game, he forgot everything else, as if he were in the game himself, feeling the sharpness of every move made by both sides!

"White responded very well, and was aggressive in every move, refusing to give an inch!"

"However, Yu Shao's response was also flawless. While entangled with White, he kept an eye on White's weaknesses and adopted a posture of being ready to break away and launch a strong attack at any time, causing White to be hesitant to make a move and not dare to go all out!"

Soon, it was Jiang Changdong's turn to make a move again. Jiang Changdong stared intently at the chessboard, picked up a piece, raised his right hand high, and then quickly placed it down!
Hey!
Seven columns, nine rows, jump!

"Jump here?"

Upon seeing this move, Su Yiming was startled, and his expression changed slightly!
"This move isn't too problematic, but it's a bit weak and will be vulnerable to attack from Black!"

"In a game of this level, this seemingly minor issue could be the key to victory or defeat!"

Not only Su Yiming, but also An Hongshi and Zhuang Weisheng frowned slightly upon seeing this move.

Upon seeing Jiang Changdong's move, Yu Shao's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately picked up a black piece and placed it without hesitation.

Hey!
Three columns and eleven rows, thrust!
"Such a quick judgment! Without any hesitation, he was absolutely certain that his judgment was correct!"

Seeing that Yu Shao had seized the weakness in the white pieces almost instantly and launched a powerful attack into the white territory, and sensing the killing intent emanating from the chessboard, An Hongshi's expression became serious.

"This move completely pins down White's stones, allowing them to penetrate directly into the gaps!"

The flaw that White revealed was not very big. That jump move was just a little unconventional and definitely not a bad move. However, in this kind of game, this flaw was enough to be fatal!
Jiang Changdong remained calm upon seeing Yu Shao's move.

After a moment, Jiang Changdong looked at the chessboard and slowly put his right hand into the chess box.

"Of course I know how difficult it is to win by using a jump attack."

“My opponent is no ordinary person. You can tell from those chess records that he can seize the slightest flaw in his opponent and defeat him in one fell swoop.”

Jiang Changdong's right fingertips, which were inserted into the chess box, touched the cold chess pieces.

"However, if you're not willing to use bait, the fish won't take the bait."

"We must lure him into the most complex and deadly battle, into the most ambiguous situation, so that we can wait for an opportunity!"

"Therefore, we must not let the game develop as he expects. With that jump move, we must introduce a board position that is completely unfamiliar to him and completely unexpected!"

"To win, you have to risk your entire army being wiped out. You have to hold out until he shows a weakness. If you can't hold out until then, you will lose everything!"

Finally, the white piece is captured!

fall!

Hey!
"In this game, it's either you die or I live!"

The crisp sound of the pieces being placed echoed throughout the game room, reverberating in everyone's ears!

Fourteen columns and eleven rows, pointed!
"Was this move particularly brilliant?"

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard in front of him, assessed the situation, and kept deducing the subsequent changes in his mind. After a moment, he finally figured out the local changes, picked up a piece, and quickly placed it on the board.

Hey!
Fourteen columns and ten rows, block!
"What a powerful move!" Jiang Changdong's expression also became extremely solemn at this moment, knowing that the situation was somewhat dangerous. At this moment, his eyes seemed to be only focused on the chess game in front of him.

"Even if White forces its way out, it will be in danger. If it only defends this side, it can hold on, but it will be completely overwhelmed by White's attacks!"

"I only paused for a moment, and the oppressive aura immediately came down, giving me no chance to catch my breath!"

"Then, we have no choice but to dive in and engage in a fierce battle with Black!"

"This will be a battle of calculations. If he calculates fifty moves, I'll calculate fifty-one. If he calculates one hundred moves, I'll calculate one hundred and one!"

"If we calculate the board position clearly, after that jump, although White is in some danger, it is definitely not going to be defeated!"

A moment later, Jiang Changdong finally picked up a chess piece again and quickly placed it down.

Six columns and twelve rows, charge!
……

……

the other side.

"here--"

A young man watching the live stream was stunned when he saw this move, staring at the computer screen in disbelief: "He went for it?!"

Not only him, but the internet exploded when Jiang Changdong made this move. Everyone stared wide-eyed in shock at the game!

"National champion Jiang Changdong actually chose to charge down here!"

"Isn't White afraid of Black's cut-and-capture?"

"Black cuts and plays, and White seems to have a tesuji (tactical move) to dig, but it's too complicated and impossible to calculate. I would never dare to play like that. Could it be that Master Jiang Changdong has calculated this? You must be joking!"

Faced with Black's aggressive attack, White not only did not retreat, but even launched a counterattack, which was completely unexpected by everyone!
The biggest concern with this move is that Black will cut off White's pieces. If Black does cut off White's pieces, White might even have its backbone broken by Black!

Although it seems that White has a digging move, the variations on this line are too complex, with countless branches and variations. Just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle, and even whether it is feasible is unknown!
However, if the digging move is successful, it is indeed the most aggressive move for White at this point in the game, aiming to attack Black's weaknesses and lead the game into a deadly battle!

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and quickly placed his piece.

Hey!
Five columns and eleven rows, interrupt!

Jiang Changdong, with a somewhat somber expression, followed suit, reaching into the chess box and picking out a white piece.

"We must take advantage of the fact that the Black Ones haven't gained enough momentum yet, immediately disrupt the situation, and force our way in!"

"Otherwise, once the gap widens too much, if the haters try to fix the situation, the outcome will be decided. We must keep the gap closed. If the haters try to fix the situation, we must make them pay an unbearable price!"

"Otherwise, I will not escape death!"

The chess piece is placed!

Hey!
Ten columns and fifteen rows, stab!
"Instead of digging, they chose to fight with thorns?"

Upon seeing the white piece, Yu Shao paused, his brows furrowing slightly.

White's digging move seems like an inevitable move that can counter Black's moves. However, although the subsequent variations of the digging are complex, he has already calculated that White has no other options.

What truly troubled him was the white pieces' sharp attack.

This seemingly passive move is actually a strategic maneuver, allowing the attacker to seize the initiative through subsequent developments!
He saw the dagger, but he didn't expect that Jiang Changdong would see it too!

It's worth noting that this move is not even within the consideration of most professional chess players.

Because the effect of this one strike will not be immediately apparent, but will only shine after ten or even more strikes!
To find this move, you need not only calculation skills, but more importantly, a keen sense of the game situation. Otherwise, no matter how deep your calculations are, if you can't see this move, it's all in vain!
After a moment's thought, Yu Shao picked up a chess piece and quickly placed it down!
Hey!
Twelve columns and ten rows, that's it!
"Faced with the white piece's attack, the black piece didn't use the small move, but instead went to the central town to make a move?"

The notarizer and the two judges were stunned and completely baffled.

In their view, White's digging was a move that was bound to happen. However, White did not play it and instead played an inexplicable thrust. In response to White's thrust, Black did not play a small knight's move but instead played a stomp!
The notarizer couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhuang Weisheng and the other two behind him, only to find that Zhuang Weisheng, An Hongshi, and Su Yiming were still focused on the game, without the slightest surprise on their faces.

It's as if the white piece's spike and the black piece's block are both normal moves.

Seeing this, the notarizer was a little stunned. He looked at the chessboard again and pondered for a long time before he finally seemed to realize the mystery of the board. His pupils shrank slightly.

"I see!"

"White's attack is surprisingly a surprise move in the middle of the board!"

The notarizer was somewhat startled, staring in awe at the chessboard.

"That's not a move that works immediately; you have to carefully analyze it to understand its secrets!"

"And Black's move, which seems to be placed in a worthless position, is actually a response to the future move that could be effective!"

"Their confrontation is no longer happening now, but has transcended time; a future clash is unfolding ahead of time!"

"too strong!"

"They're not even in the same league. With my professional second dan level skills, I wouldn't even understand it if I didn't think about it carefully!"

Meanwhile, as more and more people listened to the explanations of the professional chess players in the commentary room, they finally understood the profound meaning behind Yu Shao and Jiang Changdong's previous moves, and a great uproar ensued!
"my God!"

"That's amazing! Without explanation, it's impossible to understand!"

"What kind of thinking is this? That move, at first glance, was clearly a defensive move, I had no idea how to play it, but it turned out to be a good move? And it was actually played out?"

"Black's response was also sharp. You know, Yu Shao made that move without much thought, which means he had already seen that thorn in his side!"

"Is this even human? It's not like a species at all, it's too strong."

"..."

As the pieces from both sides were continuously placed, the spectators felt as if the blood in their veins was boiling with excitement!

The crisp sound of the pieces being placed seemed to travel through the screen and echo in everyone's ears!

At this moment, Jiang Changdong picked up another chess piece and placed it down.

Hey!
Seven columns and fifteen rows, a giant flight!

"Click!"

As soon as the white piece was placed, the sound of pieces colliding inside the chess box rang out, and then Yu Shao placed the black piece on the chessboard!
Hey!
Eighteen columns and thirteen long columns, break!

"broken!"

Jiang Changdong stared intently at the chessboard, his expression far from relaxed. In his mind, black and white pieces were constantly being placed, and he was constantly deducing the ever-changing possibilities of the game!
"He's trying to threaten me into moving out of the way. If I don't move out, the black pieces will capture those three white pieces. But if I do move out, the black pieces could also take the opportunity to create a counter-strategy and gain an advantage!"
