I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 394 Kuroko Falls into a Disadvantage (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Grand Chess Tournament saw Su Yiming win two consecutive games, directly advancing to the decisive final game, causing a huge uproar online.

In the past two days, there has been increasing attention on the Grand Chess Player Tournament. On the day the tournament started, around six or seven in the morning, the official live stream of the Grand Chess Player Tournament was flooded with viewers and the barrage of comments filled the screen.

Everyone was waiting for the game to begin and for the outcome of the match!
The third game of the Grand Chess Tournament is also a game that will determine the title. If Su Yiming can win another game, the competition will end immediately, and Su Yiming will become the new Grand Chess Champion!

"What will be the outcome of this game?"

Some people were thinking to themselves.

This is not only his problem, but also the problem of everyone who is sitting in front of the TV or computer, waiting for this game!
Time passed quietly, and as the match time approached, the number of viewers in the live stream began to surge at an astonishing rate!

9:50 a.m.

Inside the chess room of the Western Chess Academy, Su Yiming and Fu Shunan sat facing each other on either side of the chess table.

Unlike before, Fu Shunan's expression was extremely heavy. He clenched his fists tightly from beginning to end. Facing a game that would determine the outcome of the match, he was clearly not calm.

After a moment, the referee in front of the referee's table looked at his watch and, seeing that the game time was up, finally said in a deep voice: "Time is up. The black and white sides will be switched in this game. Su Yiming, 3-dan, will play black, and Fu Shunan, the grandmaster, will play white!"

"Each side has three hours of time available, one and a half minutes to countdown, seven and a half komi, now..."

The referee paused, then looked at the two people sitting on either side of the chess table, and finally spoke: "The game begins!"

Su Yiming and Fu Shunan bowed to each other. Then, Su Yiming looked at the chessboard, slowly picked up a chess piece, and made his first move under the watchful eyes of the whole world.

Hey!
Fourteen columns, four rows, stars!
……

……

the other side.

Yu Shao did not go to the Shanhai Chess Hall today, but stayed at home alone, watching the third game of the Grand Chess Challenge on his computer.

On the computer screen, as black and white pieces were placed, Yu Shao would simultaneously pick up a piece and set up the game of chess by himself.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

The sound of pieces being placed echoed continuously in the room.

After a moment, seeing that Fu Shunan had not made another move and had begun to think for a long time, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and also fell into deep thought.

"Su Yiming is still focusing on the center, while Black has built a spectacular influence on the outside. However, White is also playing very well, with a lot of territory to support them, so the board is still evenly matched..."

"However, the previous two losses may have affected Fu Shunan. The situation is about the same, but he is playing too conservatively."

"Is White hesitating between climbing the second line or cutting and attacking here?"

Yu Shao looked at the current market situation and thought to himself.

Both climbing the second line and cutting and attacking are viable options for White. Climbing the second line is more solid, while cutting and attacking is more aggressive. How the board develops depends on White's choice of this move.

However, no matter how White plays, Black has corresponding countermeasures, and White also has some counter-moves, so both sides are wary of each other.

Finally, after a long time, Fu Shunan quickly placed the chess piece on the television screen.

Hey!
Eight columns and twelve rows, Little Fly!

"He didn't climb to the second tier, nor did he lose possession."

Upon seeing this, Yu Shao was slightly taken aback: "It's Xiao Fei?"

Yu Shao stared intently at the television screen, even forgetting to set up the chess pieces in sync, his mind racing as he calculated the subsequent changes, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"A completely unexpected move. At first glance, this position seems strange, as it is neither an emergency station nor a main area. However, upon closer examination, this move actually echoes both the emergency station and the main area!"

"Black has been checkmated!"

Yu Shao stared intently at the chessboard, his mind racing, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

Su Yiming seemed to have been caught off guard by Fu Shunan's move and fell into deep thought, not making a move for a long time.

After a long while, Su Yiming finally picked up a chess piece and continued to place it.

Hey!
Eight columns and ten rows, that's it!

"The town is indeed the strongest response in this area, but White might have a sharp counterattack in the next move, and then Black will be caught in the middle!"

Upon seeing Su Yiming's move, Yu Shao instantly had this thought in his mind, and the next moment, he saw a white piece land on the chessboard.

Hey!
Nine columns and nine rows, pointed!

Seeing Fu Shunan make a move, Su Yiming quickly picked up another piece and placed it in the same spot!
Six columns and five rows, break!

The next second, Fu Shunan also made a move with lightning speed!
Seven columns and eight rows, so long!

Yu Shao stared intently at the chessboard, already foreseeing the outcome of this clash!
"White's attack has already damaged Black's pieces. Now, White can only try to defend itself with a tiger's mouth!"

next moment!
Hey!
Black, 11th column, 7th row, Tiger!
Immediately after, the moment the black stones were placed on the board, the white stones pressed down on the board with breathtaking speed!
Hey!
Eight columns and five rows, turn!

Both sides made frequent moves, and what was supposed to be a rapid game with three hours for each side seemed to have turned into an ultra-rapid game with a thirty-minute time limit!

After finding an opportunity, Fu Shunan made several moves in a row, each one cunning and sharp, relentlessly attacking the weaknesses of the black pieces, going to extremes in his aggressiveness!
"Black's shape has broken down!"

Yu Shao's expression was extremely serious, his eyes reflecting the entire chess game.

"Not only that, Black actually had a way to capture a stone, but White saw through this and cut off Black's retreat, so even Black's stones on the right side are in danger!"

Under Yu Shao's watchful eye, the black and white pieces continued to be placed alternately.

Su Yiming clearly realized the danger and began to attack the gaps in the white stones, trying to turn the white stones into a bad shape. However, Fu Shunan suddenly showed an even more ferocious spirit, ignoring the bad shape and forcefully cutting off the black stones' path!
In this contest, Fu Shunan, who played white, revealed a sharp edge that even caught his eye!
"I think I underestimated him."

As Yu Shao watched Fu Shunan's every move, his expression grew increasingly serious.

"No matter what, he's a great chess player, the best chess player of our time—"

"Black is already at a disadvantage!"

……

……

This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Everyone stared intently at the chessboard, subconsciously holding their breath, sensing the murderous intent emanating from it!
"It's so...so beautiful!"

"White's moves these past few games have been absolutely brilliant, each one incredibly aggressive!"

"I knew Fu Shunan, the great Go player, couldn't be defeated so easily! After all, he's the player who swept all the Japanese players in the Masters Invitational Tournament and created a miracle!" "This is the Fu Shunan I know—seizing the opportunity, he unleashes this overwhelming power to crush his opponent!"

Inside the live stream, comments kept flying across the screen!
Inside the game room.

Both referees and the notary instinctively craned their necks, staring intently at the chessboard not far away, as if trying to see it more clearly!
Hey!
Black moves!

Seeing Su Yiming make his move, Fu Shunan's eyes turned fierce. He quickly reached into the chess box, grabbed the piece, and then slammed it down!
"Black's position is not good. Teacher Fu Shunan has thought things through carefully with every move, giving Black no chance to breathe!"

A referee examined the board, seemingly able to sense the formidable power hidden in every move made by the white pieces, and was deeply alarmed by it.

"Although he lost the first two games, Teacher Fu Shunan seems to have rallied in this game, and the title of Grand Master is still up in the air!"

"Perhaps Teacher Fu Shunan can come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 and defend his title as Grandmaster again!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Su Yiming out of the corner of his eye.

When he saw Su Yiming's expression, he was stunned.

Su Yiming sat on one side of the chessboard. Although the situation was unfavorable, his expression was extremely calm. There was no sign of anxiety or panic at all. It was as if the one who was at a disadvantage was not the black pieces, but the white pieces!

"Could it be that all of this was within Black's expectations, and Black has another plan?"

The referee couldn't help but have this somewhat chilling thought pop into his mind!

Su Yiming lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard in front of him, calculating the various changes that would follow in the game.

All of this was certainly not what he had expected.

He was not unaware that his position as Black was in grave danger!
"More than a hundred years ago, when faced with challenges from masters from all sides, I also found myself in a tough battle many times and was once at a disadvantage."

"However, even though they had the upper hand at one point in the middle game, they ultimately lost to me!"

Su Yiming reached into the chess box again, feeling the cool temperature of the chess pieces with his fingertips.

One hundred and eighty years ago and one hundred and eighty years later are like two different worlds. People one hundred and eighty years ago could never have imagined what the world would be like one hundred and eighty years later.

However, some things remain unchanged even after more than 180 years.

For example, the cold temperature of the chess pieces.

"If I jump next, it will be troublesome for White to press up. If I use a block, White's big knight' will also cut off my retreat. So, I will directly use the tiger's mouth, and at the same time, I will secretly create a big ko fight!"

"As long as we keep the white pieces occupied, wait patiently, and hold on no matter what!"

"When the ko fight emerges, that's when Black's path to survival becomes clear!"

Su Yiming slowly picked out the chess piece.

The next moment, the chess piece was placed!

"Now that Yu Shao has won the national champion title, I must win the grandmaster title!"

"If Yu Shao lost a game, then I will not lose a single one!"

Hey!
Five columns and eleven rows, Tiger!
The sound of the piece being placed was soft, yet it resonated deeply.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Under the watchful eyes of the world, the chess pieces began to fall one after another, and the pieces collapsed and spread rapidly like an avalanche!

As more and more pieces were placed, a look of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes!
"White's jump is clearly a commanding move, leaving Black with no other choice, but Black ignores it and directly sacrifices a piece. However, upon closer examination, this variation subtly threatens White's large group of stones!"

"How tenacious! Despite White's fierce attack, Black has managed to entangle White's pieces, and White can't do anything to Black for the time being!"

"But it's no use. Black's fighting here is astonishing, but it's just that the moves are flawless. The gap on the board is impossible to close."

"Not necessarily. Perhaps Su Yiming is pinning his hopes on the endgame? He can't catch up in the middle game, so he'll decide the outcome with the endgame?"

"That's too risky. The endgame skills of top experts are usually not that different."

"But there's nothing we can do now. There's still hope if we can stall until the end, but just holding on in the middle game would be a great achievement!"

As White struggled to break through Black's defenses, the live stream chat was flooded with comments, everyone watching the game with bated breath, their hearts pounding.

At that moment, under the watchful eyes of the world, a black piece fell close to a white piece.

Hey.

Eighteen columns and eleven rows, a curve!
"Hei Zi actually went to attack!"

Everyone could feel the heavy, oppressive atmosphere in the air and involuntarily held their breath.

Black was already in a very difficult position here, as White's attack was too fierce and Black could not defend against it all. However, Su Yiming's response shocked them.

Black has firmly locked onto White's piece, aiming to defend through offense!

Yes.

Defense is not necessarily defense. In this situation where White has already formed a stalemate, Black made the most chilling move, abandoning the rear and continuing to fight with White!

This is equivalent to cutting off one's own arm first, thereby gaining the initiative. If Black can use this to cut off White's arm first, then Black will naturally not lose out!

Seeing the black pieces land on the board, the white pieces followed suit and landed their own pieces. Although the white pieces had the advantage, the situation reversed in the local entanglement.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
"Black has secured this territory and made a living here!"

After another seven or eight moves, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

This does not mean that Black has turned the tide and won; it merely means that Black has made up for the previous losses by taking the initiative. White still has the advantage, but the gap cannot be widened at all!

The two sides quickly played more than a dozen moves. White showed no mercy with every move, putting immense pressure on the opponent. However, what was astonishing was that Black repeatedly found himself in perilous situations that threatened to end the game, yet the gap remained incredibly close!
Everyone's eyes widened in shock and bewilderment as they stared at the chessboard.

Under these circumstances, it seems that Black has really... held on!

Soon, another white piece was placed on the board.

The moment the white piece was placed, the black piece followed closely behind, almost immediately landing on the board in the next second!
Hey!
Twelve columns and thirteen rows, plop!

"flutter?"

Everyone was stunned by this incredibly sudden move.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, but this move, completely off-target, landed in an utterly inexplicable location.

However, the next moment, after looking at this move and thinking about it deeply, they were horrified!
"It seems like this area has formed..."

"A calamity?"

At this moment, the white stone that had been hidden for most of the game finally revealed its power after more than thirty moves, responding to all the black stones on the board and forming an unprecedented ko fight!
