I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 408 The two of them are indeed above me.

The first match of the Twin Cup has finally come to an end.

However, the repercussions of this battle did not subside for a long time.

The massive reaction after the match was even more sensational than during the Gemini Cup.

It's no exaggeration to say that it shook the chess world.

Countless people have repeatedly analyzed this game of chess, carefully savoring every move made by both sides. Even a thousand words cannot fully express the shock and bewilderment in their hearts!

Everyone can accept that what they previously thought was thick may not actually be that thick. Thickness can have flaws, and everyone can accept that. Thinness is not necessarily bad; it has its merits.

However, it's not just that.

The view that is surprising to everyone is that the traditional notion that thick is bad and thin is better than thick is actually reversed!

How significant is the impact this will have on all Go players' overall view of Go and their Go strategies?
It's unimaginably big!

All the Go I learned since childhood, and the ways of playing Go that my teachers taught me, were now overturned!
Some people have studied Go for ten years, some for twenty years, and some even for thirty or forty years, but all of them have been overturned!

"how so……"

In a small town in the north, a young man repeatedly looked at the game record of the first game of the Twin Cup today. He didn't move the mouse much, clicked the next move, and after reviewing the game once, he returned to the opening and continued to review it.

Review, start over, review, start over... and so on.

He had lost count of how many times he had reviewed the day, but each review yielded the same unbelievable result.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly took a deep breath, opened the chess notation website, searched for classic games from the past, and began to review these famous games.

One, two, three...

As he flipped through more and more classic games, the look of disbelief on his face deepened, and beads of sweat appeared on his temples.

Finally, he stared blankly at the computer screen in front of him.

On the computer screen is a chessboard filled with countless black and white pieces, arranged in a grid pattern.

Although this was the end of the game, judging from the situation, the two sides had gone through an extremely fierce battle, fighting almost all over the board, with dead pieces and foolish shapes everywhere.

Anyone who follows Go will be familiar with this game.

This was a game of epic proportions five years ago between An Hongshi and Japanese Go player Kimura Go. After the game, some people commented that both players were playing with divine skill, making it an extraordinary game.

Countless chess players have tried to find the mistakes made by both sides in this game, but none of them have been able to find them, or even if someone believes they have found them, it is not convincing enough to convince others.

Therefore, this game is also known as the "Game of Heaven" because every move made by both sides is perfect and seamless.

Now, even if he were to look at this game again, even he could find the errors in the judgment of thickness and thinness between the two sides!

The young man stared at the computer screen, muttering dejectedly, "All the famous moves, overnight, have been completely overturned..."

He wasn't the only one; people all over the world were also spending time on Go forums, going through past game records one by one with other netizens, searching for loopholes in those famous games.

Too much is too much.

Everyone was shocked to discover that when they looked at those famous games that had once amazed them, they all had some flaws, and those flaws were quite obvious from today's perspective!
This is destined to be a sleepless night!
The world of Go has been completely overwhelmed by a new wave!
"This is... the first set of the Twin Cup."

Everyone couldn't help but feel an unprecedented mix of emotions about the upcoming final match of the Twin Cup.

Anticipation was mixed with fear, fear was mixed with confusion, and confusion was mixed with a bit of tension.

"So, what about the second game?"

"Yu Shao is too strong..."

Before the Gemini Cup, most people thought that Yu Shao and Su Yiming were evenly matched, but now, after the first match of the Gemini Cup, countless people have quietly changed their opinions.

"Yu Shao, what kind of game will you play this time?"

The Twin Cup consists of only two games, and these two games will determine who wins the title. In other words, for Su Yiming, there is no way out!

The interval between the two matches in the Twin Cup is short, only three days.

In other words, the final battle will take place in three days!
……

……

On the other side, in a quiet chess room.

Zhuang Weisheng and Zhuang Fei sat facing each other, continuously placing chess pieces, the sound of the pieces falling echoing in the air.

Zhuang Weisheng maintained a calm expression throughout, but Zhuang Fei, on the other hand, seemed distracted.

Soon, Zhuang Fei picked up another chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Seeing Zhuang Fei's move, Zhuang Weisheng remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not pick up a piece to continue placing it. Instead, he slowly stood up and said, "Let's stop here for today. Your mind is too chaotic."

Zhuang Fei was slightly taken aback. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but ultimately couldn't finish his sentence.

Indeed, he simply couldn't concentrate on the game today. The Gemini Cup had left him deeply troubled, and he was utterly unable to remain calm in the face of the inverted power dynamics.

He was puzzled by his father's composure.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

Inside the chess room, Zhuang Weisheng's cell phone suddenly rang.

Zhuang Weisheng picked up his phone, glanced at the caller's name, and quickly answered the call, asking, "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Ma Zhengyu's voice immediately came through: "Hey, Professor Zhuang Weisheng, did you watch the Twin Cup today?"

"seen it already."

Zhuang Weisheng said, looking at the chessboard in front of him.

“Great! Here’s the thing: our chess academy would like me to conduct a brief phone interview with you, Professor Zhuang Weisheng, so you can share your thoughts on this game.”

Ma Zhengyu, on the other end of the phone, got straight to the point and immediately said...

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Fei immediately perked up his ears, eager to hear his father's opinion on the game.

Zhuang Weisheng glanced at his son, then chuckled and joked to Ma Zhengyu on the other end of the phone, "Speaking of which, shouldn't interviews be charged?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

On the other end of the phone, Ma Zhengyu's awkward yet polite laughter immediately rang out: "Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, why are you making such a formality? Let's just chat about this game as friends."

"This game of chess..."

Zhuang Weisheng didn't really want to ask Ma Zhengyu for money. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "Very interesting."

"..."

Upon receiving Zhuang Weisheng's answer, Ma Zhengyu was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he said in a somewhat incredulous tone, "Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, everyone knows how wonderful this game is, but after seeing such a game, you must have a lot to say, right?" "No."

Zhuang Weisheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Really not."

Upon receiving Zhuang Weisheng's answer, Ma Zhengyu was completely stumped and remained speechless for a long time.

Zhuang Weisheng lowered his eyes to look at the chessboard in front of him. In his dark eyes, it seemed that he was not reflecting the chessboard in front of him, but the game of the Twin Cup. He said in a strange tone, "I only see... two people who are far superior to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Fei seemed to have been struck in the face, and froze on the spot before his eyes widened slowly.

silent.

silence.

Ma Zhengyu on the other end of the phone remained silent, but unlike before, he was now speechless because he was greatly shocked by Zhuang Weisheng's words.

"Witnessing this game of chess with my own eyes was incredibly exciting."

Zhuang Weisheng slowly said, "Those two are indeed above me."

"Because I have never played such a brilliant game of chess before."

"Having never played a game like this before, I can only say that they are superior to me, and naturally they have no right to comment on this game."

Ma Zhengyu, on the other end of the phone, finally realized what was happening. Suppressing his emotions, he couldn't help but ask, "Professor Zhuang Weisheng, do you mean... this game surpasses all the games you've played before?"

"More than all the games I've ever played before?"

Zhuang Weisheng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's not just me."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Fei and Ma Zhengyu were clearly taken aback and remained silent, waiting for Zhuang Weisheng to finish speaking.

"This game surpasses all previous games played by other players... Every move in this game points to the answer to Go."

"A Go player dedicates their entire life to the world of Go, and what all Go players pursue throughout their lives emerges in this game of Go. How can one not feel excited?"

Zhuang Weisheng smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps from now on, all of us chess players should aim to create such chess games."

"Seeing this game of chess, all I want to do is play a game with Yu Shao."

Zhuang Weisheng paused, then continued, "Even if we lose, it doesn't matter—"

"As a chess player, when I see a game like this, I have no other thoughts but to play a game with him!"

Even if I lose, I want to know exactly how he defeated me!

After Zhuang Weisheng finished speaking, the entire game room fell silent.

Zhuang Fei stared blankly at his father. On his father's face, all he could see was seriousness—a seriousness that showed he was prepared to lose the game but still had to face the challenge head-on.

"Speaking of which, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Finally, Zhuang Weisheng spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhengyu on the other end of the phone finally snapped out of his daze. His mouth was dry, and he swallowed hard before saying, "Teacher Zhuang Weisheng, please speak."

Has the commentator for the second match of the Gemini tournament been decided?

Zhuang Weisheng said, "If you haven't decided yet, let me explain."

"I have a strong feeling that the next game of chess may be far beyond our imagination."

"No matter what, I want to get involved in this game, even if... as a commentator!"

……

……

Time flows silently forward.

The controversy caused by the first match of the Twin Cup has not only failed to subside, but has intensified, thus drawing even more attention to the upcoming final battle.

Everyone's feelings were extremely complicated. As the days went by and the second match of the Twin Cup drew closer, they all felt an inexplicable pressure!

Final battle—

coming soon!
In the first match of the Twin Cup, Yu Shao's performance was truly amazing, completely overturning the concept of thickness in Go, overturning the four thousand years of Go, and even to a terrifying degree.

Now, the topic of discussion is no longer who will win this battle, but whether Su Yiming has any chance of winning.

too strong……

This is the thought in everyone's mind.

Looking back at Yu Shao's past game records, although he often made amazing moves, there were still flaws. But since the National Masters Tournament, Yu Shao seems to be a completely different person.

They couldn't quite put their finger on what had changed, but it just felt different from before. They might have been a bit naive before, but now they were much more mature!
Everyone was incredulous that they could feel such reverence for a seventeen-year-old boy; they were completely subservient to him!
Although Yu Shao has not participated in the World Championships yet, and the results in the World Championships are the proof of a strong player, ... the game records that Yu Shao has played in domestic competitions alone are enough to silence all other opinions!
As everyone waited in silence, the time finally came to the fourth day after the end of the first match of the Gemini Cup!

Early that morning, before dawn, even though there were still five or six hours before the start of the competition, tens of millions of netizens flooded into the official Gemini Cup live stream, and the number of online viewers continued to climb!
By eight o'clock in the morning, the lobby of the Southern Chess Academy was already packed with people, all of whom looked preoccupied and even a little nervous.

"Wang Ming, you're here too."

"Hmm... As a chess player, I should at least come and take a look."

"Li Songming, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Not yet... The Twin Cup is about to start, how can I possibly eat anything?"

"..."

Inside the chess academy's main hall, although there were many people, for some reason, everyone was whispering and talking amongst themselves, and no one made a loud noise, as if they were shrouded in an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Zheng Qin, Wu Zhixuan, Xu Zijin, Le Haoqiang... were all among them.

Although the main hall of the chess academy was very large, it was packed with people at the moment. Everyone wanted to see the final outcome of the Twin Cup decided live at the chess academy!

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the chess academy hall, which had been filled with whispers, suddenly fell silent as everyone turned to look at the entrance.

A boy with short, choppy hair and wearing a white shirt slowly walked into the chess academy's main hall.

Su Yiming, we've arrived.

Everyone looked at Su Yiming, and without exception, their expressions became more serious, each with a different look in their eyes, all showing some complicated emotions.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yiming walked into the chess academy's main hall, then calmly walked through the crowd towards the corridor, his figure quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Not long after, another boy appeared at the entrance of the chess academy's main hall.

Yu Shao has arrived too!

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
