I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 383 Am I insane, or is the world insane?
After a long while, Jiang Changdong finally suppressed his myriad emotions, calmed down, and examined the market.

Although this move is outdated and almost no chess player uses it nowadays, everyone is familiar with it because chess players in the past left behind so many game records.

Against a sharp, slow hand like this, both high and low dismantling are viable options. However, the most effective and targeted approach is—

Jiang Changdong's eyes changed, he picked up a chess piece and quickly placed it down!

Six columns and three rows, Little Fly guards the corner!
White has made a mistake!

Since Black is now burdened with a large komi and has played a slow move like the "point," White should immediately ignore the situation and quickly build up its position. Using speed to overcome slowness is the most effective countermeasure against Black!
Behind Yu Shao, the blurry figure lowered his eyes and stared quietly at the chessboard.

A moment later, the figure finally reached into the chess box again.

He picked up a crystal-clear black piece, as if it had transcended space, and gently placed it on the chessboard.

The moment the chess piece was placed on the board, the chessboard seemed to ripple with waves before Yu Shao's eyes!
Yu Shao remained silent for a moment, then finally reached out, picked up a chess piece, and followed the figure, placing the piece in the same position.

Hey!
Three columns and fourteen rows, a small flying hanger!
Seeing Yu Shao make his move, Jiang Changdong quickly followed suit, placing his own piece on the board.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Under the watchful eyes of the world, the black and white pieces began to alternately fall on the board, and the invisible smoke of battle seemed to have already ignited, making everyone's hearts clench.

Soon, it was Yu Shao's turn to play chess.

Before Yu Shao's eyes, he saw a right hand that only he could see, with a chess piece held between the index and ring fingers, slowly falling.

Yu Shao remained silent for a moment, then quickly placed his chess piece as well.

Hey!
Five columns and six rows, press down!

"Pressure?"

Upon seeing this move, a look of astonishment flashed across Jiang Changdong's face.

But Jiang Changdong quickly regained his composure, calmed down and pondered for a moment, then picked up the chess piece with a "click" and placed it down swiftly!

Seeing Jiang Changdong make his move, Yu Shao remained calm, quickly picked up another piece, and slowly placed it down.

Upon seeing Yu Shao's move, Jiang Changdong frowned slightly, and quickly picked up another piece and placed it on the board.

Da da da!

The crisp sound of pieces being placed echoed in the game room.

……

……

Southern Chess Academy, broadcast room.

Everyone stared silently at the television screen, not even blinking, afraid of missing a single move.

"Yu Shao's suggestion... is so concise!"

Zheng Qin stared at the TV screen in shock. Although it had only just begun, the way the game had progressed so far was completely beyond his expectations!

"White's move to extend the territory in the corner has a very clear purpose: White wants to build up territory in the corner!"

Zheng Qin looked puzzled and asked, "Faced with such a long-range attack, Yu Shao's response was... suppression?"

Xu Zijin stood opposite Su Yiming, looking down at the chessboard that Su Yiming had set up, which was exactly the same as the one on the TV screen. Without looking up, she said, "He didn't mean to stop me at all."

"Since White wanted it, he gave it to him, and didn't even try to contest it with White..."

The others stared at the chessboard in astonishment. The way the game unfolded was something neither Zheng Qin nor the others had anticipated.

"It's unbelievable! Aren't we going to fight for it here? If White wants to enclose territory, are we just going to let White do that?"

Le Haoqiang's brows furrowed into a deep frown as he said incredulously, "As the saying goes, their key point is my key point. If a battle breaks out here, Black will obviously have moves to make!"

"He just sat there and watched his opponent easily create a large encirclement in the corner?"

Le Hao stared at the television screen, feeling only a sense of unfamiliarity.

Go may seem complicated, but in essence, it is a game of confrontation.

The so-called confrontation means that if the opponent wants to do something, I will not let him do it; if the opponent does not want to do something, I will do it anyway.

However, in this game, White's intention to enclose territory in the corner was obvious, yet Black showed absolutely no intention of competing with White!

At this moment, Su Yiming looked at the chessboard and slowly said, "White has indeed enclosed territory, but Black has also moved outside, forming an external influence, so it's not bad either."

"That's what I said."

Le Haoqiang nodded, took a deep breath, and continued, "If the black stones can see the territory they have built on the outside, then it is naturally feasible."

"However, it is uncertain how many points Black's external influence can gain, but it clearly reveals White's territory."

"And more importantly, this way of betting will result in far fewer changes in the market!"

After hearing Le Haoqiang's words, Su Yiming fell silent.

As Le Haoqiang said, it is indeed uncertain how many points Black's influence will reach, while White's territory is visibly vast!

More importantly, once Black has secured the territory, White can no longer attack that area of ​​Black stones, greatly reducing the variety of moves on the board!
Su Yiming turned his gaze away from the chessboard, slowly raised his head, and looked at the television screen.

Even he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"What exactly is Yu Shao trying to do?"

……

……

"He gave me the edge and placed pieces on the outside, was he trying to build a fortification in the center?"

Jiang Changdong stared intently at the chessboard in front of him. Yu Shao's complete lack of interest in contesting side territory was also entirely unexpected.

When he got down there, he was like someone who had burned their boats, raising their fist, but it was like punching cotton.

However, if we examine the board carefully, disregarding the score and considering only the position, Black is not at a disadvantage.

"We won't let him succeed."

"White's territory on the side is already unbreakable. Since Black wants to build a shape in the center, then I will shake Black's influence and shape on the outside!"

"Black's influence on the outside is still weak. Rather than waiting for the influence to fully develop before trying to secure our group, we should launch a direct attack now and force Black to fight me to the death!"

With this in mind, Jiang Changdong no longer hesitated, reached into the chess box, picked out a white piece, and quickly placed it on the board!
Hey!
Fourteen columns and five rows, dot!
"White has invaded!"

Upon seeing this, the music notator standing nearby felt a jolt of fear and his expression became slightly tense.

This move is undoubtedly a strong one. White has already gained territory. The only thing to worry about is Black's external influence. If Black's external influence is broken, then Black will have no chance to compete with White!
At this moment, White's influence on the outside is still weak. This move reveals its sharp edge, seizing the best opportunity to directly attack Black's territory and forcefully demand Black to make a statement!
Behind Yu Shao, the blurry figure looked down quietly at the chessboard in front of him, silently scrutinizing the surface.

He... fell into thought.

About five minutes later, a faint voice seemed to pierce through space and reach Yu Shao's ears—

"Twelve columns and five rows, jump."

The voice was calm and full of certainty.

Yu Shao finally picked up the chess piece and placed it in the position indicated by the voice.

Twelve columns and five rows, jump!
Upon seeing this move, Jiang Changdong, the two referees, and the recorder were all stunned!
"Here, jump?"

This move isn't difficult to understand; almost anyone who sees it will instantly grasp its intention. Yet, it's precisely this simplicity that makes it so unbelievable! "Black, are you preparing to attack White?"

The female notary couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes widening as she stared in disbelief at the chessboard not far away!

"White felt that Black's position was weak and adopted an attacking stance!"

"But Black's meaning is actually—"

"He is trying to save his own group. White's position is weaker. It's not Black who has to pay the price; it's White who has to pay the price!"

Even though the meaning of this move couldn't be clearer, the female recorder still felt that her idea was utterly absurd!
Black, on the contrary, believes it is the side that should be attacking.
Am I insane, or is the world insane?!

Jiang Changdong stared at Yu Shao's move in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time!

……

……

Paris France.

"seriously?"

A group of blond, blue-eyed youths stared dumbfounded at the computer screen, their minds blank and buzzing.

"Is Black preparing to attack White?"

A young man couldn't help but pat his face. Even though he felt the pain, he still asked incredulously, "Am I dreaming?"

"We must have been mistaken."

Another young man swallowed hard: "Impossible, right? This board position looks like White is going to launch a strong attack on Black's outer influence, how could Black be going to attack White?!"

It was quiet all around.

Everyone understands this: it can't be Black attacking White; it should be White attacking Black.

But this jump—

Isn't this just the prelude to Black launching an attack on White?!

……

……

This move caused a huge uproar around the world, and the internet was in an uproar, with countless bullet comments flooding the screen, and everyone falling into deep self-doubt!
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The notarizer and the two referees stared at the chessboard not far away, their mouths agape for a moment, as if they were frozen in place!

Five or six minutes later, Jiang Changdong finally came to his senses. His expression immediately turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, and with a "click," he reached into the chess box again, picked out a chess piece, and slammed it down!

Snapped!
Seventeen columns, seven rows, Xiao Fei!

The instant Jiang Changdong placed his piece, Yu Shao seemed to hear a calm voice.

"Eleven columns in three rows, perfect!"

Yu Shao picked up a chess piece and quickly placed it down.

Eleven columns in three rows, perfect!
Seeing Yu Shao's move, Jiang Changdong's expression was not surprised, obviously he had expected it. He immediately picked up a piece and placed it on the board again!

Snapped!
Eleven columns, eight rows, Tiger!
"Stop it!"

Upon seeing Jiang Changdong's move on the computer screen, the internet exploded. Everyone understood Jiang Changdong's meaning and held their breath!
Go, also known as Go!
Every move a chess piece makes reflects the player's heart!
White's Tiger move is the strongest move on the board right now, directly cutting off Black's retreat and eliminating any possibility of Black making a living group with a small knight's move!
White must engage in close combat with Black and determine the life or death of Black's pieces. If Black decides to attack, then the brave will prevail in a close encounter!

This is Jiang Changdong's statement!
If Black really wants to attack White, then let them try!

Upon seeing Jiang Changdong's move, the blurry figure behind Yu Shao finally turned his gaze away from the chessboard.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Changdong with a calm gaze. Although they were separated by a world, it was as if he could see through all of Jiang Changdong's thoughts.

He spoke slowly, his voice calm yet powerful—

"Seven columns and ten rows, break!"

The next moment, the chess piece between Yu Shao's fingers fell to the ground!
Seven columns and ten rows, break!

Faced with White's strong stance, Black ultimately... chose to play defensively!

Inside the reporter's office at the Southern Chess Academy.

"No response?"

Ding Huan was suddenly startled and couldn't help but stand up from his chair. He stared at the computer screen with a somewhat bewildered expression: "Isn't the focus of the game on the right side of the board? Why are they changing direction now and moving to the left side?"

Ding Huan was somewhat incredulous. Although he had watched so many of Yu Shao's games and even written so many reports about them, every move Yu Shao made in this game felt completely unfamiliar to him!

"Of course, playing on the left side also helps to strengthen the situation on the right side, but since White has decided to fight Black on the right side, how could Yu Shao not respond?!"

Ding Huan has reported on far too many of Yu Shao's chess games, and because of this, he considers himself to know Yu Shao very well.

When he saw Yu Shao make that jump move, others couldn't be sure, but he was almost certain that Yu Shao was going to attack White!
Yes!

Determined!

He had originally thought that Yu Shao might put on another astonishing performance, and he waited with great excitement.

To his complete surprise, Yu Shao did not respond to Jiang Changdong, a powerful opponent who was willing to risk his life for a fierce battle of a hundred eyes.

Instead of fighting White as he had expected, Black moved to the left side to make his move!
"Could it be that that jump move wasn't really meant to attack White, but rather a follow-up move?"

Ding Huan was starting to have some doubts!
On the computer screen, seeing Black's move that disregarded the initiative, White finally made another move to respond!

Eight columns and nine rows, pointed!

……

……

Hands talking indoors.

Jiang Changdong's expression was extremely ugly. He kept taking chess pieces out of the chess box and placing them down. Yu Shao did the same. The two of them continued like this, with black and white chess pieces spreading across the chessboard!
The sound of pieces being placed echoed continuously!

"Although he moved to the left first, the key to the game still lies on the right wing. No matter how much it drags on, he will eventually return to the right!"

Jiang Changdong stared intently at the chessboard, quickly picked up a piece, and placed it down again.

"That will be the moment when Black collapses!"

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Black and white stones are continuously placed on the board in alternation.
Soon, after another seven or eight moves, it was Yu Shao's turn to play again.

The figure standing behind Yu Shao gazed intently at Jiang Changdong opposite him.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, looked down at the chessboard, and slowly began to speak—

"Thirteen columns and eleven rows!"

"folder!"
