I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 375 Trapped in a Net

"Here, thirteen columns and eight rows, is it crowded?"

Even Su Yiming was somewhat bewildered as he stared at the chessboard.

This was an utterly incomprehensible move, incredibly abrupt, and utterly inexplicable. Even he couldn't comprehend it at all, not even a fraction of it.

This is a move that no one would consider, because it is meaningless, has no backup plan, is completely unrelated to the overall situation, and has nothing to do with the intense battle at this moment!

Previously, Black had made many incredibly skillful moves that were truly amazing. Even if some moves were not fully understood, one could still vaguely sense that they were not bad and were echoing the moves of the other pieces.

But this move was beyond everyone's comprehension!
can't read!
Previously, whether it was the 3-3 point, the sharp point, or the shoulder attack on the corner, there was always some logic to it. But this move makes no sense at all.

Not only Su Yiming, but An Hongshi also stared at the chessboard in shock, constantly calculating the various subsequent changes in his mind.

"At first glance, this move really surprised me quite a bit; it was even a little frightening."

Soon, An Hongshi saw the subsequent development of the market, his brows furrowed, and he came to the conclusion: "But... it's actually not that clever."

To say it was not clever is actually being kind; strictly speaking, almost everyone who saw it would agree it was an undeniably bad move!

Seeing Yu Shao's squeeze, Jiang Changdong took a deep breath and finally realized what was happening.

Although this move didn't look like a good one, Jiang Changdong didn't let his guard down. He calmly pondered for a long time before finally reaching into the chess box, picking out a piece, and quickly placing it down.

Yu Shao immediately picked up a chess piece and followed suit, placing a black piece.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

The black and white chess pieces began to fall onto the chessboard again, making a crisp sound.

After looking at a few more moves, Su Yiming stared at the chessboard and suddenly paused for a moment. The next moment, he seemed to finally realize something!
"and many more!"

"That squeezing technique was quite interesting!"

"This squeeze was a bit strange, but the subsequent developments were quite interesting!"

Besides deep disbelief, Su Yiming's expression also showed a hint of surprise!

"After Black squeezes, it seems like a suicide move, a rather illusory one, but Black's position here also seems to contain a glimmer of hope!"

"Because White's press seems inevitable, but its actual value is not great, and the shape is somewhat repetitive, plus Black's dead stones over there seem to have value... We can use them!!!"

The more Su Yiming thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He seemed to see the chess pieces falling one after another, and he spontaneously calculated the subsequent development. He even had an uncontrollable urge to play the black pieces himself!
"This path, though difficult and hidden, does exist. Once Black makes it through, White will have nowhere to go and will be completely wiped out!"

Su Yiming couldn't help but turn his head and cast a glance at Yu Shao.

"Yu Shao is truly a genius... This move is completely superior to mine!"

Not only Su Yiming, but Zhuang Weisheng and An Hongshi also seemed to have noticed something upon seeing this. They noticed the clues on the board and stared intently at it without blinking.

The market's development was completely beyond their expectations. If it hadn't gone this far, even they wouldn't have been able to understand that squeeze!

That previous squeeze, that seemingly ethereal move in the center, was like a divine intervention, beyond human capabilities. It was an exaggerated way to kill off a group of stones, and then use those dead stones to launch a strong attack on White!
Too fierce, too extreme!

However, it must be said that this is indeed the strongest move, and if it really works, it might be able to defeat White directly!
At this moment, Jiang Changdong's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a long time, he finally picked up a chess piece again and quickly placed it down.

Hey!
Seven columns and five rows, retreat!

"Refund?"

Yu Shao's expression was not relaxed either. He stared intently at the chessboard, and after a moment, he finally picked up a piece and placed it down immediately.

"Judging from the current position of the stones, Black does have a chance to defeat White, but although there is a chance, the difficulty is beyond imagination."

An Hongshi gazed at the chessboard, completely absorbed in the clash between black and white: "The board is too complicated. Is it really possible to find a way to capture a piece?"

"too difficult."

An Hongshi kept calculating the various changes, and under each change there were countless branches: "At least I... can't find it yet. The requirements for appearance, calculation speed, attack power, and life and death are too high."

On the other side, Su Yi stared intently at the chessboard, frantically calculating the myriad changes that would follow in his mind, and had actually found the only path!
"found it!"

"I saw that road!"

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The chess pieces continued to be placed on the board, the sound of them being placed echoing continuously.

Soon, it was Yu Shao's turn to move again. Yu Shao picked up a piece and quickly placed it down.

Hey!
Eight columns and ten rows, paste!

"stick?"

Su Yiming stared at the chessboard, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

"Yu Shao didn't find that severed hand, but instead pasted it on?"

The next moment, Su Yiming's expression changed drastically.

"broken!"

"This move, while solid, is somewhat slow. The board has become so complex that a single move can have far-reaching consequences. Once White gets a breather with this move, Black will be in trouble!"

No one knew what Su Yiming was thinking.

Jiang Changdong stared intently at the chessboard in front of him, lost in thought for a long time. After five or six minutes, he finally picked up a piece and gently placed it down.

Upon seeing Jiang Changdong's move, Yu Shao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He stared intently at the chessboard, constantly calculating the situation.

"Can't find it."

"Was there something wrong with the way you squeezed it?"

"Do not……"

Yu Shao took a deep breath and calmly examined the board.

"It shouldn't be. You can tell that after that squeeze, you can definitely find a dead piece to borrow."

"My original plan was for him to dig first, and then I would pounce, but he didn't play as I expected. Instead, he played a top. But even after the top, Black should still have a way to deal with it!"

Yu Shao gritted his teeth, pondered for a moment, then picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down.

"You want to attack my three white stones on top?"

Upon seeing Yu Shao make his move, Jiang Changdong immediately picked up a piece, his eyes fierce, and followed suit with his own.

"it's useless!"

Da da da……

This battle between black and white has reached a fever pitch. The two sides are locked in close combat, and every move they make is an attempt to kill the other!
Not long after, Jiang Changdong, with a fierce glint in his eyes, once again took a chess piece from the chess box and quickly placed it down.

Snapped!
The sound of the piece being placed echoed in everyone's ears.

Upon seeing this move, Yu Shao did not pick up any more pieces. He gazed at the chessboard for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes.

There was silence.

Everyone stared silently at the chessboard, and they could all see the current situation on the board.

Although Black's previous squeeze move was ingenious, despite using every trick in the book, Black ultimately failed to find a way to exploit the dead stone.

Since Black failed to find a way to capture White's stones and defeat them in one fell swoop, it means that Black has lost a large number of White's stones. Not only has Black's previous advantage vanished, but Black has also fallen into a losing position! Yes, it's no longer just a disadvantage; the gap between the two sides has become so large that it can be described as a losing situation!
So, does Black still have a chance to turn the tide?

Given the current situation, it is almost impossible for White to capture a large number of dead stones, while Black only has some vitality left in the center. It would be extremely difficult for Black to compete with White with this.

"That squeeze move, while brilliant in its concept, was definitely not a good move... This game is probably over."

The female music notator thought to herself, "So, that squeeze was the root cause of our defeat?"

……

……

New York, USA.

Is this game about to end?

The blond man stared intently at the computer screen, still replaying every move Yu Shao and Jiang Changdong had made earlier in the game.

"What a pity. That squeeze move was really too forced. Although the shape looks like it borrows from other pieces, it doesn't actually work."

The blond man exhaled and muttered to himself, "However, it's still quite impressive. Even if that squeeze technique didn't work, having that idea is already terrifying."

"What a pity. If that squeeze technique had actually worked, it would have been legendary. Understanding that squeeze technique is absolutely mind-blowing."

……

……

Japan, Tokyo.

"The outcome is set."

A group of young professional Go players gathered around the computer. A long-haired young man slowly spoke up: "Teacher Jiang Changdong, you are indeed strong."

"The situation is too complicated. Under Yu Shao's circumstances, he shouldn't have launched such a fierce attack. If he had controlled the market, although the battle would have been very long, he could have maintained his advantage."

Someone nodded and said, "I even think that maybe Mr. Jiang Changdong deliberately put the market in such a complicated situation."

"Maybe, who knows?"

A young man wearing glasses pushed up his glasses and began to review the situation: "But that squeeze really startled me. At first, I couldn't understand it at all. When I finally understood it, I was shocked. What kind of thinking is needed to come up with that?"

"It's not over yet."

Just then, someone in the crowd, still staring at the chessboard, slowly spoke up: "Although the disadvantage is huge, this is the first time I've seen Yu Shao in such a predicament, but he is, after all, Yu Shao!"

"The outcome is still undecided!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I'm telling you, you must be joking, right? Is there really any way to turn this around?"

Someone asked incredulously, "Even now, White has swallowed up a huge group of Black stones, Black is practically crippled!"

"Unless White fills in an extra space on its own, I don't know how White can lose."

Someone couldn't help but joke, "The gap is too big. At this point, it's time to resign."

As they were talking, for some reason, the whole room suddenly fell silent.

Yes.

His name is Yu Shao.

Everyone looked up at the computer screen again.

……

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

After a full five minutes, Yu Shao calmed down and finally opened his eyes again, looking at the intricate chessboard in front of him, where black and white pieces were tightly intertwined.

"It can still go down..."

Yu Shao stared intently at the chessboard. Even though the situation was extremely bad, he became even calmer. He always had to stay calm!
"We've indeed fallen into a disadvantageous position, but we can still lose!"

The previous developments in the game didn't seem to affect him; on the contrary, they fueled his fighting spirit.

"What's past is past, there's no point in dwelling on it!"

"Although White has swallowed up a large area of ​​our territory with its thick position, I still control the central area. There is still a sliver of a chance to turn the tide in the battle here!"

"Although it's slim, the possibility still exists!"

"If we can continue to fight and hold White's pieces in check, preventing the gap from widening, and if we can drag the game into the endgame, then we still have a chance to win in the endgame!"

"What we need to do now is to use every means possible to hold out until the end!"

Yu Shao's eyes were sharp. He finally reached into the chess box, picked out a chess piece, and quickly placed it down.

Seeing Yu Shao place another piece, Jiang Changdong glanced at the chessboard, his gaze darkening slightly.

"Should we continue to struggle?"

"It's no use. Although you still control the center, once I take over all the territory on the sides, Black won't be able to turn the tide no matter what he plays!"

Jiang Changdong reached into the chess box and picked out a chess piece.

"I would gladly risk losing my eyesight for this!"

Hey!
The chess piece is placed on the board!

Click!

Yu Shao's eyes also turned fierce and terrifying. The moment the white piece was placed, he quickly reached into the chess box, grabbed the piece, and slammed it down!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The chess pieces kept spreading across the board like a spider web, and the sound of pieces being placed began to echo in the game room again!

Everyone stared intently at the game, not daring to blink, as if trying to imprint every move of the black and white pieces deep into their hearts.

The sound of the chess piece hitting the board was soft, yet it resonated powerfully, as if it could echo throughout the world!
"Want to break through the air to the left?"

Seeing Yu Shao make another move, Jiang Changdong's eyes flashed, and he quickly reached into the chess box and picked up a piece.

"How could I possibly let you move out so easily?"

Hey!
Fifteen columns, ten rows, jump!
Seeing the white piece fall, almost instantly, Yu Shao grabbed a piece from the chess box and placed it with lightning speed!
Hey!
Eight columns and nine rows, thrust!

"prick?"

Upon seeing this move, An Hongshi, Su Yiming, and Zhuang Weisheng were all stunned, staring at the chessboard with expressions of shock.

"They've broken through here? They actually did it like that? That move just now was just a feint?"

Upon seeing this move, Jiang Changdong's expression subtly changed.

"This move is not easy to respond to. If we attack it, it may trigger a counterattack from above, which could lead to unforeseen circumstances."

"It's alright... He's still three breaths short of escaping. As long as I attack from below, he'll have no choice but to turn around and defend!"

Jiang Changdong thought for a moment, then finally picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down!

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
