I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 384 Subdued the Chess World

The chess piece is placed.

Hey!
With a sound like the gentle thud of metal striking stone, a black piece appeared on the chessboard!

Thirteen columns and eleven rows!
夹！
Upon seeing this move, Jiang Changdong, the two referees, the recorder, and everyone in the world watching the game were instantly stunned.

The problems that had troubled everyone, the confusion that had perplexed everyone, were finally resolved after this one move, and the answer was finally found!

"This, this is..."

Jiang Changdong stared intently at the chessboard in front of him, his pupils trembling slightly.

"Black's most solid move is to extend, and if White needs to maneuver, then the strongest move is to block..."

"But he didn't get off."

"In its place, it's now clipped!"

"He... he really intends to attack White!"

After this trap was played, Black's entire thought process from beginning to end finally became clear on the board!

Although the question has been answered, Jiang Changdong still finds it hard to believe!
"He actually believes that in a direct confrontation, Black is stronger than White!"

In this board position, almost everyone would think White is stronger, but Black's move clearly demonstrates a judgment of the board situation that differs from everyone else's—

Completely opposite!

Jiang Changdong finally couldn't help but raise his head and look at Yu Shao opposite him in disbelief!

Behind Yu Shao, the blurry figure's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Jiang Changdong. Their eyes met in mid-air, seemingly transcending space.

After a long while, Jiang Changdong finally looked away from the chessboard, forcing himself to calm down and think about the changes in the subsequent situation.

"If he breaks his stance, I'll hold him; if he flies away, I'll confront him and fight him to the death!"

"Black's shape here is obviously very weak. Even if he uses this move to clamp down and cut off my retreat, putting on an attacking stance, it's useless. Black can indeed live very easily!"

"The initiative should be in my hands!"

After calculating the changes on the board, Jiang Changdong did not hesitate and immediately picked up a piece.

Hey!
With a crisp sound, the chess piece was placed on the board once again!
Yu Shao glanced at the chessboard, then quickly reached into the chess box, picked out a chess piece, and placed it down.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Black and white pieces alternately fall on the chessboard, as if weaving a giant net that firmly holds everyone's attention!
Everyone was engrossed in watching the game, beads of sweat involuntarily trickling down their foreheads.

Gradually, as more and more pieces were placed, Jiang Changdong's expression began to change!

Not only Jiang Changdong, but at this moment, more and more people's eyes began to open wide uncontrollably!

An indescribable sense of dread washed over everyone!
The subtleties of the market are finally being revealed, and they are truly astounding!

"My white pieces are now... in a position where they could be captured by black!"

Jiang Changdong stared incredulously at the chessboard in front of him, his mouth slightly open, his throat feeling dry.
Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit at this moment that the development of the market was completely different from what he had originally expected!

"If I don't attack, then my white pieces are indeed at no risk."

Jiang Changdong knew that his previous judgment was not wrong, but his later judgment was wrong!

"However, I chose to launch a full-scale attack."

"Although Black's shape is indeed very weak, in the face of my strong attack, Black can only keep moving to reinforce the outside."

"But……"

Jiang Changdong stared blankly at the chessboard, his eyes unfocused, and the chessboard itself seemed to become somewhat blurry.

"But because the black stones have moved to the outer edge, each black stone is connected to the others. Before I knew it, the pressure on my originally aggressive white stones has increased, and the black stones have formed a two-sided attack!"

"My attack there was actually a double-edged sword; it not only hurt Black, but it also hurt myself!"

"The situation is not good!"

Time ticked by, and Jiang Changdong hesitated to make a move, deep in thought!
"clam down!"

Jiang Changdong finally took a deep breath, forcing himself to regain his composure, staring intently at the chessboard, and mentally analyzing the myriad variations of the game!
"Although I've been checkmated here, the difference in points on the board isn't significant. My white stones here lack eye space, which is indeed dangerous, but if we fight fiercely, I can still make them live!"

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to flee and try to save our orphan!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Changdong finally picked up another chess piece and immediately placed it down.

Hey!
Eleven columns, ten rows, jump!
……

……

"Jumped away!"

Seeing Jiang Changdong's move on the television screen, Zheng Qin stared intently at the screen and said without turning his head, "Teacher Jiang Changdong is unexpectedly calm!"

His voice was slightly hoarse, and even now, he was still horrified by the dramatic changes that had just occurred on the trading screen!
"indeed."

Le Haoqiang nodded in alarm and said, "If it were me, I would probably grit my teeth and continue to attack Black. If Black makes a mistake, Black will still be defeated!"

Le Haoqiang stared intently at the television screen and spoke again: "However, Teacher Jiang Changdong sensed the danger and did not act recklessly; he immediately decided to work!"

Xu Zijin stood opposite Su Yiming, reached out and picked up a chess piece. After placing a few pieces on the board, she said in a deep voice, "However, even if we want to make a living group right now, it won't be that easy."

Su Yiming nodded, looked at the chessboard, thought for a moment, then picked up a chess piece and laid out the variations one by one.

As Su Yiming laid out the pieces, he said, "If Black makes this move to cut off, White must play a tiger's mouth. If Black then connects, White may be able to break through the eye."

Soon, Su Yiming put away the pieces and presented another variation, saying, "If Black doesn't keep moving, the small knight's move is also strong. White will either retreat or touch, and will be in a tough battle."

"In addition to Duan and Xiaofei, digging is also a method that can be considered."

"In short, Black has quite a few sharp moves here!"

Soon, on the television screen, under everyone's watchful eyes, another black piece fell.

Hey!
Eight columns and thirteen rows, press down!
The discussions surrounding the current market situation abruptly ceased.

An eerie silence fell over the broadcast room.

They had considered countless possible responses from Black, but they hadn't anticipated that Black would completely ignore White's attempts to make their pieces live. White wanted to make their pieces live, but Black simply let White live!
"Click."

The sound of a claw being pulled rang out.

Su Yiming took a chess piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard at the same time as Yu Shao, then looked at the chessboard in front of him.

"Take off your clothes and move to the left..."

"The white stones on the left side may seem vulnerable, but in fact, black has no moves to make. Even if the changes on this side are completed, it will not have any impact on the current situation."

Su Yiming frowned slightly.

"However, after exhausting all the changes on the left, it will result in the loss of resources, and there won't be much for me to borrow afterward."

Having played against Yu Shao more than once, Su Yiming felt he knew Yu Shao quite well. However, even he couldn't quite understand every move Yu Shao made in this game.

Suddenly, Wu Zhixuan's voice rang out, breaking the long silence. "Could it be that there's another plan in store?"

……

……

The topic is currently being hotly debated online.

Black directly allowed White to live, which is somewhat unbelievable, but White itself is not necessarily doomed, nor is it hopeless.

However, it is somewhat puzzling that Black directly moves to the left side, and it seems unlikely to pose any threat to White, and may even have to sacrifice its own ko threats!

Many people shared a surprisingly similar view with Wu Zhixuan.

Could it be that Black has some tricks they haven't seen?

"They actually took it off first."

Inside the chess room, Jiang Changdong's expression was extremely grim. He didn't make a move immediately, but stared at the chessboard, lost in thought, with some confusion in his eyes.

"Is there some method here that I haven't been able to detect?"

Time passed by minute by minute.

However, after thinking for a long time, no matter how he calculated, Jiang Changdong still couldn't figure out what tricks Black had up its sleeve.

Black does have some seemingly aggressive moves here, but none of them work, and White can easily respond to them.

Seeing that time was running out, Jiang Changdong gritted his teeth, somewhat unwillingly picked up a chess piece, and placed it down again.

"If he really has a backup plan, we can only wait for him to make his move and then deal with it accordingly!"

Seeing Jiang Changdong finally place his piece, Yu Shao quickly picked up his piece as well and slowly placed it down.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Black and white chess pieces spread across the 19x19 chessboard.

"What exactly is Black's intention...?"

"I can't tell. If there's a second move, what kind of move would it be? What kind of grand strategy is Black planning?"

"How should White respond?"

A tense atmosphere permeated the world; everyone was waiting, waiting for the moment when Black would reveal its true intentions and provide the answer!
However, seeing that there were fewer and fewer moves on the left side of the chessboard, a look of surprise appeared on everyone's face.

"Aren't you going to take action yet?"

"The changes on the left are almost complete; all the resources for plundering have been used up!"

"If we don't make a move now, although the situation won't change much, the ko threats we've wasted might deliver a fatal blow to Black in the future!"

Soon, both sides finished their moves in six or seven moves, and it was Yu Shao's turn to move again.

"Thirteen columns, eleven rows, big jump!"

Hearing the voice echoing in his heart, Yu Shao reached into the chess box, picked out a chess piece, and gently placed it down as the voice had instructed.

Thirteen columns and eleven rows!
Big jump!

Black has moved back to the right wing of the board!
This move is not difficult to think of; in fact, it can be said to be the most obvious move.

However, Jiang Changdong was stunned for a moment when he saw this most obvious move.

Not only Jiang Changdong, but everyone in the world watching this game at this moment feels the same way.

This is indeed a very good and natural move under the current market conditions, but it is precisely because it is too natural.

Because this move means that all the variations on the left side of the board have been exhausted, and from beginning to end, Black has not revealed any follow-up moves.

Therefore, Black simply moved to the left side, exhausting all possible variations and wasting ko threats.

No one can understand it, because it is simply incomprehensible.

Hands talking indoors.

The blurry figure still stood behind Yu Shao, the expression on that blurry face remaining consistently calm.

Yu Shao lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard in front of him.

The only person who can understand me is him.

There really are no backup plans here.

The move just now, which involved leaving the stone untouched, did indeed cost Black its ko threats, and Black didn't get any leverage at all!

But this is the figure standing behind him, his chess piece.

The game is characterized by its simplicity, never provoking any complex changes, avoiding all risks, taking overall control, often overwhelming the opponent with its momentum, and using subtle and insidious moves to encircle territory invisibly through invasion and transformation!

He didn't know how the Go AI would play if it were there, but he only knew that if it were the figure standing behind him, he would definitely walk in that way.

This is simply to reduce branch variations and reduce computational load.

That's it!

However, it was precisely this style of play that once swept away countless strong opponents and dominated the chess world of its time!
……

……

"So...it's just a meaningless process of going through all the changes?"

Seeing that Yu Shao really had no backup plan, Jiang Changdong realized that he had actually been thinking for a long time and was worried that Black had another move. His eyelids twitched, and he became furious.

"Damn it!"

A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Changdong's eyes as he picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down.

Hey!
Seven columns and thirteen rows, turn it on!
The blurry figure behind Yu Shao had a completely different expression from Jiang Changdong; he was extremely calm, simply staring at the chessboard and slowly indicating the next move.

"Eight columns and fourteen rows, break!"

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
On the chessboard, black and white pieces fell frequently, and the sound of the pieces being placed seemed to echo throughout the world!

"Thirteen columns, fifteen rows, Xiao Fei!"

The moment the voice in his heart rang out, Yu Shao picked up a chess piece again and gently placed it down.

"He ignored my attempt to create space above and instead focused on creating space below, specifically targeting the lower right!"

This move was not difficult to understand. Jiang Changdong immediately saw through Yu Shao's intention. His right hand, which was already in the chess box, involuntarily grabbed a handful of white pieces, and the pieces immediately made a "click" sound!
Up to this point in the game, Yu Shao's moves were not strong; in fact, one could say he showed no aggressive attitude and had not made any particularly strong moves. He knew how to respond to each and every move.

He was the one who kept making trouble from beginning to end, and he got what he wanted. But now that we're here, his situation is not good, and you could even say he's at a disadvantage!
Fortunately, Yu Shao's moves were not particularly strong. Although there was a difference between black and white, the difference was not significant, and could even be described as very small!
"No, although we can make an eye in the center, there's no time to fill it. Black's attack is still going strong, and there's still danger. If he builds a large territory in the bottom, we'll lose points!"

Jiang Changdong kept calculating the changes in the game in his mind. Finally, he figured out the situation, loosened his grip on the chess piece, picked up the white piece, and placed it with lightning speed!

"We must let it slip through, we can't let it all come to nothing, we have to go all out!"

Hey!
Fifteen columns and eighteen rows, leak!
