Chapter 395 Bearing the Name of a Great Chess Player (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"How can it be……"

Upon re-examining the game, everyone gradually realized what this ko fight truly meant, staring at the board in shock.

This ko fight is too big, with many ko threats and an unimaginably complex board situation. White must respond to the ko, but Black has a way to avoid it!
Once this crisis is resolved, the situation will become unpredictable, and both sides will have a chance!

"Black's path to survival has become clear!"

A long silence.

Seeing Su Yiming's move, Fu Shunan fell into deep thought and hesitated to make a move.

No one knew what Fu Shunan was thinking at that moment, but through this long period of contemplation, it seemed that some clues could be made.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, under the watchful eyes of the world, Fu Shunan picked up a chess piece and gently placed it down.

Although Black's path to survival has become apparent, this does not mean that Black has directly turned the tide and won. In terms of the overall situation, White should still have the upper hand!
The game is not over yet; the battle between the two sides continues until they fight to the death before they will stop!
The gap on the board is not large, but White still has the initiative and many initiative moves. It will be quite difficult for Black to reverse the situation.

If White goes to any lengths to convert these initiative moves into points, Black will likely find it difficult to respond.

However, considering Black's previous performance and that decisive move that spanned half the game, everyone could only remain silent.

Under those circumstances, Black secretly laid a trap, and after fighting White for more than thirty moves in the middle game, Black managed to escape by taking advantage of the ko fight, which was beyond their expectations!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Black and white pieces are placed on the board one after another!
……

……

Hands talking indoors.

"They actually took off their shoes here!"

When Su Yiming placed another black stone on the board, the referee and the scorekeeper were both surprised, clearly not expecting the black stone to be placed in that position.

"In this situation, anyone would have played a move to fill the gap, but it's hard to imagine that Black would ignore the weakness in the lower area and try to cut off the opponent's stones!"

The female notary stared intently at the chessboard not far away, deeply moved: "That move... was too powerful!"

Across from Su Yiming, Fu Shunan's forehead was covered in beads of sweat. After a long while, he took a deep breath, reached into the chess box, and picked up a chess piece to place on the board.

Hey!
Fourteen columns, ten rows, turn!
Su Yiming glanced at the chessboard and realized that Fu Shunan's move was exactly what he had expected. He immediately picked up a piece and placed it again.

Seeing Su Yiming's response, Fu Shunan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Calm down!"

Fu Shunan stared intently at the chessboard, as if trying to see every possible change in the game.

"Although the situation is starting to become unclear, I still have many advantages!"

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Fu Shunan immediately rejected it.

"No, using these initiative moves to control Black's stones... is not easy!"

"It seems like Black has a lot of initiative, but Black has a way to respond to all of them. Relying entirely on these initiative moves to launch a strong attack is just giving Black a test!"

"If Black answers incorrectly, White wins; if Black answers all correctly, White loses!"

"Don't rely on your opponent making mistakes; opportunities... are always created by yourself!"

"Then, this is the only way!"

A resolute glint flashed in Fu Shunan's eyes, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, but he was completely unaware of it.

Before his eyes, as if a revolving lantern were playing, all the chess games he had played in his life appeared.

"I have defeated countless powerful enemies along the way to get to where I am today!"

"They couldn't even win a single game, and then their title was taken away..."

"What a joke!"

Fu Shunan reached into the chess box with his right hand, picked out a chess piece, and then quickly placed it down!

Hey!
Five columns and twelve rows, seal it!
"This……"

Upon seeing this move, the referee and the female recorder were both stunned, then their faces showed deep emotion: "White has sacrificed a piece?!"

Su Yiming was also taken aback when he saw Fu Shunan's move.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yiming's expression turned serious.

"To my surprise, he didn't take the initiative to attack, but instead sacrificed a piece to invade the gaps in my formation, as if those initiative moves didn't exist."

"He intends to preserve those initial moves, sacrificing pieces to launch a strong attack on my weaknesses. Once the board changes, those initial moves... might become incredibly severe!"

Su Yiming calmly examined the board, constantly calculating the various changes in his mind, trying to decipher all the mysteries of the game.

So, a free-for-all?

Su Yiming picked up another chess piece and placed it with lightning speed!

"as you wish!"

Hey!
The sound of the plate hitting the metal was incredibly crisp!
Ten columns and thirteen rows, thrust!
On the opposite side, Fu Shunan also quickly placed her chess piece.

Fourteen columns and fifteen rows, so long!

"If it gets too long, then we must cut off his use of those abandoned pawns!"

Su Yiming instantly picked up a chess piece and placed it right next to the white piece.

"Since he has sacrificed a piece, as long as I suppress the white stones and reduce the effect of his retained initiative, I can regain the initiative!"

Hey!
Ten columns and fourteen rows, press!
"Press it down?"

Upon seeing this move, everyone was slightly surprised, and their eyes showed some confusion.

But after thinking about it carefully, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines!
This move looks too weak. After White extends, Black has a strong counterattack, but this is based on the premise that White has no follow-up moves.

Almost no one noticed that White's sacrifice of a group of stones actually concealed a hidden trick, which was White's counter-move. If White hadn't been careful and had made a counter-attack, Black would have immediately paid a heavy price!
Su Yiming saw through this!
Faced with Su Yiming's move, Fu Shunan's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but surprisingly, she was not surprised. She quickly picked up a piece and placed it down again!
Hey!
Six columns and eleven rows, sandwiched!
Seeing Fu Shunan's move, everyone gasped, their hearts filled with shock.

Su Yiming's pressure eliminated the potential danger of White's dead stones being used, while Fu Shunan's move was equally brilliant, threatening to invade and attack Black's large group of stones, thus using the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao"!

More importantly, Fu Shunan made this move almost immediately after the white piece, without much thought.

This means that Su Yiming's unexpected move was actually within Fu Shunan's expectations. Fu Shunan did not hope to deceive everyone, but had other means!

Just then, Su Yiming swiftly grabbed a chess piece from the chess box and placed it down immediately!
Hey!
Fifteen columns, seven rows, jump!
Seeing this move, everyone's mouths went dry, and their eyes were filled with shock.

“Logically speaking, this move should be a reinforcement move, a jump... to cut off the key stones of White! Since White wants to fight against Black’s large group of stones, then Black should cut off the key stones of White and not give an inch!” Soon, Fu Shunan placed the white stones again.

The moment the black piece was placed, Su Yiming also seized the opportunity to grab a black piece and placed it on the board immediately afterward!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
With a crisp sound of pieces being placed, black and white pieces were continuously placed on the chessboard.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the chessboard in a daze, somewhat dumbfounded, and they couldn't even describe their current state of mind.

Every move made by both sides was exquisite. The placement of the pieces on the board was like the flash of swords and the clanging of blades!

Even those who weren't directly involved felt their hearts pounding with fear at every turn, their minds reeling from the deadly moves of each piece, and some even found it hard to breathe because of the fierce battle!
"Brilliant! Neither side is giving an inch. It's not as simple as one side making a move and the other immediately providing a solution; often, they not only provide a solution but also retaliate in kind!"

"If it were me, whether I was playing white or black, I would have already resigned. The changes here mean that just one wrong move could lead to utter ruin!"

"However, incredibly, despite the intense and complex market conditions, they have been battling it out until now, and they still have reservations about each other!"

"I can't even keep up with their train of thought!"

At this moment, the whole world was eerily quiet.

Everyone was focused intently on the chessboard, and the air was thick with tension and a sense of impending doom!
Each seed is stained with blood, each one is filled with tears!
Looking at this chess game is like witnessing a massive battlefield, with wreckage and severed limbs scattered everywhere, a horrifying and extremely tragic scene.

"However, it seems that Grandmaster Fu Shunan still retains the initiative. Although the battle here is evenly matched, once the endgame begins—"

A young man stared intently at the computer screen in front of him, his right hand on the phone, discussing a chess game with a friend. But as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice abruptly stopped!

On the computer screen, the black piece was placed once again!
Hey!
Twelve columns and fifteen rows, break!

"This...is broken?"

The young man's eyelids twitched, and he seemed to be frozen in his computer chair, staring blankly at the computer screen.

This move was not obscure or difficult to understand, and the variations were not complicated. He only needed to do a little calculation of the subsequent changes to figure out what Su Yiming was trying to do almost instantly!
"Kuroko, to gain the first move..."

"also……"

He stared at the computer screen in shock, his throat hoarse, and after a long while, he managed to speak with difficulty: "They've abandoned their pawns too!"

Not only him, but everyone in the world was stunned by Su Yiming's incredibly powerful move. They stared intently at the chessboard, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

White definitely retains the initiative, which is Black's biggest concern!
At this moment, in order to seize the initiative, Black made a huge sacrifice, abandoning all the pieces that Black had painstakingly saved in the first half of the game!

Those were black stones that Black had finally found a way to survive through ko fighting, but now they were abandoned without hesitation, even though all the previous efforts had been in vain!

All of this is simply to gain the upper hand!

Black is confident that once it gains the initiative, the loss of these dead stones will be recouped in the later stages of the game!
Whether Black can truly gain anything by sacrificing a piece here is unknown to most people. But even if it can, how many people in the world have the courage to make such a move?
Driven by personal feelings, few people would think of abandoning a child they had saved with great effort.

In everyone's mind, an eternal and essential principle of chess inevitably came to mind—

Better to sacrifice several pieces than to lose the initiative!
However, this is easier said than done.
After all, before you can be sure, you have to "abandon" it first!
Both sides continued to place their pieces, the rhythmic clatter of the stones echoing throughout the world.

Everyone stared blankly at the chessboard, speechless for a long time.

Although the score difference is not yet large, in terms of the overall situation, Black has begun to take the lead.

Watching Black's powerful moves, all they felt now was confusion...

In the official live stream of the Grand Chess Tournament, the number of comments discussing the game dwindled, and the whole world fell into a deep silence, simply watching the pieces being placed on the board.

"It's getting to the end..."

After an unknown amount of time, a comment slowly floated across the official live stream of the Grand Chess Tournament.

In the past, others would probably have been discussing the outcome of the endgame heatedly, but at this moment, only a few scattered comments slowly floated by in the official live broadcast room of the Grand Chess Player Tournament.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The sound of pieces being placed echoed from the game room, yet it seemed to resonate in everyone's ears, each sound exceptionally powerful and moving.

As more and more pieces are placed, there are very few places left on the densely packed board, and the territory and life and death of both black and white gradually become clearer.

Everyone stared at the chessboard, their feelings inexplicably complex.

at last.

After placing another white piece, Fu Shunan did not continue playing.

The game is over.

The match has been decided.

The Grand Chess Tournament came to a close when the winner was decided!
Everyone stared intently at the chessboard, unable to look away even after the game ended.

A deep sense of loss inexplicably rose in their hearts.

With the game over and the ko fight over, everything has come to an end, like a dream or a bubble. All the struggles between the black and white sides in this game have finally come to a close.

Although Black was once in dire straits, even on the verge of collapse, the final result of the endgame battle was—

"White has lost!"

Black wins by a margin of three and a half points!

……

……

"call……"

Yu Shao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, finally turning his gaze away from the computer screen and looking down at the chessboard laid out in front of him.

"The Grand Chess Player Tournament is over."

"In the end, he won the third battle."

Yu Shao stared intently at the chessboard, looking at each black piece that seemed to gleam.

All the games he had played with Su Yiming before flashed through Yu Shao's mind, from the initial high school Go league to the final China-Japan-Korea team championship main match.

"The last time we faced each other was a long time ago."

"Now that he has won the Grand Chess Master title, our rematch will be coming soon..."

Yu Shao's gaze was unreadable as he slowly reached into the chess box, picked out a chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard.
