I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 392 Fifty Moves of Sacrificing Pawns, Fifty Moves of Slaying Dragons

Time flows relentlessly on.

Everyone stared blankly at the television screen, their hearts trembling, as if they had forgotten the passage of time!
Only after a long time, under the watchful eyes of the world, did a white piece finally manage to land on the chessboard again with great difficulty!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
On the chessboard, the pieces are still being placed.

Clearly, even though he had fallen into a disadvantageous position, as a great chess player and one of the top chess players in the world, Fu Shunan was unwilling to sit and wait for death and wanted to fight back!
Everyone watched the chess game in silence.

Although White's counterattack here was equally impressive, every move Black made was too oppressive. The effect of that 5-5 shoulder hit was brought to its fullest extent!

In the broadcast room, Yu Shao stopped playing his piece and instead stared intently at the television screen, watching every move made by the black and white pieces!

Time kept passing and the chess pieces kept being placed!
The broadcast studio grew quieter and quieter!

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, as another black piece fell, the broadcast room became extremely quiet!

It's over!
The landing of this black stone sealed the deal, finally bringing the game to a close!
Looking at the board as a whole, although White tried to fight back with ko, Black ultimately used its massive territory to create unparalleled pressure, leaving White no chance to even make a ko, and Black captured the large group of stones!

With things having come to this point, White has no further chances and can only resign!

Black wins by killing the dragon!

Although everyone knew the game was over, they still stared blankly at the board, amazed by the brilliant moves made by the black pieces in the middle game, and even terrified by the oppressive attacks!
Among the crowd, Yu Shao had stood up at some point, his eyes bright as he stared at the television screen!
From this game of chess, he seemed to hear what Su Yiming wanted to say.

"Almost everyone believes that the reason why the Triple Star formation... or the Cosmic Flow formation is not good is because it places its pieces in high positions, focuses too much on external influences, and neglects the actual ground."

"The cosmic trend was once all the rage because people's value judgments about high positions and status were inaccurate. Later, the cosmic trend declined because people still felt that a low position was better and that a high position was too precarious!"

"However, the Cosmic Style cannot be simply imitated by 'placing pieces in high positions.' What Su Yiming wants to say is... the true Cosmic Style is supported by powerful offensive capabilities and a strong sense of balance in the game!"

Yu Shao felt as if he could see Su Yiming sitting at the other end of the game room through the television screen!
"That's why he played a triple star!"

"What he's saying is that the way of playing chess, facing the central sky, will never die out. The reason no one plays the three-star combination anymore is simply because they're not qualified!"

"But...he has it!"

Finally, after a short while, under the watchful eyes of the world, a hand reached out to the center of the chessboard, then slowly released it, and two white pieces fell onto the board.

Da da.

White, resign!
The first game of the Grand Chess Master title match is over!

"So...so strong."

Someone stared at the television screen for a long time, and then, absentmindedly, managed to utter two words, nothing more.

"it's over……"

The others stared in disbelief at the game, their hearts filled with intense shock.

This game was simply the pinnacle of the Cosmic Style, a triumphant song of the Three Stars. Facing the Three Stars, which had been abandoned by countless players, Fu Shunan was actually defeated by Su Yiming with unstoppable momentum!

Or rather, White was completely overwhelmed by Black's overwhelming momentum!

Fu Shunan is already a top-level player, but watching this game, it felt like the two of them were not even on the same level!
Inside the broadcast room, there was still a deep silence.

"It's simply...unbelievable."

Yu Shao lowered his gaze and looked at the chessboard in front of him, his eyes lingering on the five-five shoulder cross in the lower left corner of the board.

Even he was moved by this game of chess.

"Although he did not experience the AI ​​era, his mid-game attacking power, the extraordinary imagination revealed in his moves, his grand vision, and his sense of balance in the game far surpass those of other players!"

"This leap forward is so great that it is enough to close the gap between him and the AI-era players of his previous life in terms of opening strategy and understanding, and he is even slightly ahead!"

"With his current skill level, even in the AI ​​era of my previous life, he would be one of the top players!"

"Fu Shunan is no match for him. No, although there are many top chess players in the country that I haven't played against, they are definitely no match for Su Yiming right now!"

"Perhaps it's a bit arrogant, but... that's probably the truth!"

Yu Shao turned his gaze away from the chessboard and back to the game on the television screen, his eyes subtly turning cold.

"Right now, at least in China, perhaps only I can fairly compete with him!"

……

……

"The first game of the Grand Chess Tournament has ended, with Su Yiming taking the lead!"

"Su Yiming's first masterpiece, a stunning 5-5 shoulder strike, every move in the middle game exudes an ethereal quality, a pinnacle of the cosmic style!"

"Fu Shunan was suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe! Su Yiming displayed amazing spirit in this game, enough to make all the chess players in the world admire him!"

The first game of the Grand Chess Tournament caused a sensation far exceeding everyone's expectations.

Although there has been talk of Yu and Su online, with many people comparing the two, most people feel that Yu and Shao's performance in the national team competition was so amazing that it would be difficult to surpass.

Not only Su Yiming, but it's likely that for a considerable period of time to come, it will be difficult for anyone to produce a game in the title challenge that can be compared to these three.

Moreover, Su Yiming had never beaten Yu Shao before.

However, these views disappeared immediately after the first game of the Grand Chess Tournament was completed.

Not only in China, but also on major international forums, the debate has escalated.

"Unbelievable! A genius like this is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence, and now there are two!"

"This is insane! Other countries will probably be under a lot of pressure at this year's World Championship."

"I thought Su Yiming was strong before, but I never imagined he was this strong! How could Su Yiming be so strong in this game?!"

"I used to think that Su Yiming was just an imitator of Shen Yi, so I was never a big fan of Su Yiming. After all, no matter how much he looks like Shen Yi, he is not him. However, after watching this game, my opinion has changed!"

"Su Yiming is Su Yiming, and Shen Yi is Shen Yi! To use Shen Yi to describe Su Yiming is an offense! His chess style is very similar to Shen Yi's, but it is by no means something that can be simply summarized as Shen Yi!"

Nobody knows anymore.

Su Yiming's performance in this game was so outrageous that it left everyone feeling utterly incredulous!

Even many people who were initially confident in Yu Shao are now unsure who would prevail if Su Yiming and Yu Shao were to face off again after watching this game!

Of course, many people still believe that Yu Shao is still better, after all, the previous record between Yu Shao and Su Yiming is there, and in the national player competition, Yu Shao did more than just play a famous game!
In short, the popularity of the Grand Chess Player Tournament is soaring across the internet, and Su Yiming has instantly become the center of attention for everyone!

However, all of this has nothing to do with Yu Shao.

After the Grand Chess Tournament ended, Yu Shaoru continued to play chess with Zheng Qin at the Shanhai Chess Hall every day, just like before the Grand Chess Tournament. The only difference was that Xu Zijin joined them after learning about this.

The Grand Chess Tournament had a tight schedule, with only two days of rest between each game. The three days passed quickly. Inside a private room at the Shan Hai Chess Hall.

"It seems that my main tournament in the Meijin title match will still be fraught with difficulties."

Zheng Qin looked at the chessboard in front of him and gave a wry smile: "I was still hoping for the Celebrity title, but now I feel that it would be good if I could make it to the second round."

"A pointed tip would be better here."

Xu Zijin frowned and pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand and demonstrated the changes that followed the sharp point.

"really."

Zheng Qin nodded, scratched his messy hair, sighed, and said, "Actually, I saw this move, but I hesitated for a moment and ultimately chose the long one. Looking back, the pointed one is indeed better."

"You don't need to worry about me infiltrating here. If I do infiltrate, you can sacrifice pieces to fight back, and I might not gain much advantage."

Yu Shao then reached out and moved the chess pieces, reviewing the game for Zheng Qin.

"Brother, this sacrifice is terrifying. Although it seems like there are moves to be made, we can't see them clearly. Who dares to make a move?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Just then, Xu Zijing took out her phone, glanced at the time, and said, "It's 9:40. The second match of the Grand Chess Master Challenge is about to begin."

"call……!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qin let out a long sigh of relief, immediately stood up, and said, "I'll go turn on the TV."

After saying that, Zheng Qin walked to the large screen TV in the private room, stretched out his finger, and pressed the TV switch.

Immediately afterwards, the live broadcast of the second match of the Grand Chess Master Challenge appeared on the screen.

Shortly after, at 10 o'clock sharp, the second game of the Grand Chess Tournament finally began amidst great anticipation.

In this game, the black and white pieces are switched, with Fu Shunan playing black and Su Yiming playing white.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the three people in the private room of the chess hall, a hand reached to the center of the chessboard and placed the first move.

Seventeen columns, three rows, three times three!

Also, the opponent stretched out a hand, holding a white piece between its fingers, and slowly placed it down.

Four columns and sixteen rows, a star!
……

On the television screen, both sides moved their pieces with lightning speed.

Yu Shao stared intently at the television screen, while Xu Zijin and Zheng Qin, one playing black and the other white, placed their pieces one after the other according to the chess game on the screen.

The expressions of the two of them unconsciously became a little more serious.

Time marched on, and inside the private room of the chess hall, only the sound of chess pieces being placed on the board could be heard.

After the defeat in the previous game, Fu Shunan clearly changed his strategy in this game, playing exceptionally solidly, with every move being virtually flawless.

Clearly, Fu Shunan wanted to prolong the battle and decide the outcome based on subtle judgments.

"The descent here is very smooth."

Zheng Qin gazed at the chessboard before him, muttering thoughtfully, "What will happen next?"

Yu Shao stared silently at the television screen, as if he could see Su Yiming sitting in the chess room of the Central China Chess Academy.

Su Yiming lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he finally raised his head, slowly reached into the chess box, and then picked out a chess piece from among his fingers.

The next moment, his hand was pulled out of the chess box with a "click," and then—

"Eight columns, twelve rows, Xiao Fei!"

Yu Shao stared intently at a position on the chessboard, and then Su Yiming's right hand, holding a chess piece, dropped it in response!

Hey!
Eight columns and twelve rows, Little Fly!

There is no difference between them!
"They've abandoned them here?!"

Upon seeing this move, Zheng Qin couldn't help but stand up abruptly, completely astonished. He exclaimed in disbelief, "It's only been less than fifty moves! Sacrificing a piece here isn't just about a small piece of territory; it could have consequences for the entire game!"

Beside her, Xu Zijing's beautiful eyes also showed undisguised surprise as she stared intently at the chessboard!

None of them expected that, in such a stable situation, Su Yiming would use such force, even sacrificing a major piece, to forcibly break this stable situation!
This would certainly pose a threat to Fu Shunan, but it would also put himself in a deadly situation!

Yu Shao remained silent, simply staring at the television screen.

A moment later, the black piece finally fell again, and the white piece followed closely behind, landing on the board.

On the television screen, black and white pieces fell alternately.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Time passed slowly, and the private room in the chess hall fell silent once more, with only the sound of pieces being placed echoing in the air.

At some point, Xu Zijin and Zheng Qin stopped discussing the changes in the game. They made their moves methodically, and the fine sweat slowly seeping from their foreheads revealed that their hearts were far from calm.

Soon, after twenty moves, Zheng Qin licked his dry lips as he watched Su Yiming place his piece on the TV screen.

He suppressed the tremor in his heart, picked up a white piece, and finally placed it down again.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Black's move speed has noticeably slowed down; often, after White makes a move, Black takes a long time to think before responding.

After more than thirty moves, it was Su Yiming's turn to play.

On the television screen, a white piece is placed.

Zheng Qin silently picked up a chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard.

Across from Zheng Qin, Xu Zijin slowly exhaled a long breath and closed the chess box lid. Although the game was not over yet, she did not intend to take out any more chess pieces.

Because it's no longer necessary.

Although Fu Shunan has not yet made a move, Zheng Qin and Xu Zijin have already foreseen the outcome of the game.

This game of chess was shorter than anyone could have imagined.

"It's over."

Zheng Qin looked at the chessboard in front of him, paused, and then slowly said, "This game of chess only has a little over a hundred moves in total, and the two sides have only clashed once."

"White sacrifices a piece in the first fifty moves, then... kills the dragon!"
