Chapter 411 A Cruel Move

On the chessboard, the two colors of chess pieces intertwine, composing an unprecedented epic.

"Although the situation should be evenly matched with the 7.5 komi, Black has the greater initiative."

Yu Shao stared at the chessboard and assessed the current situation. Although the positions on the board were close, there were subtle differences.

In this exchange, Black's every move was extremely aggressive, leaving Black no room to breathe. In other words, Black held the initiative!

"We must find an opportunity to extricate ourselves from this situation."

Yu Shao's gaze darkened slightly, and he quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it down again.

On the other side, seeing Yu Shao make his move, Su Yiming also placed his black piece.

Seventeen columns in four rows, stand up!

"Shall we make an appointment?"

Upon seeing this move, Yu Shao's expression changed slightly. He frowned deeply and couldn't help but look up at Su Yiming.

Across from him, Su Yiming was also staring at him, his eyes sharp and piercing. Even when Yu Shao looked at him, Su Yiming did not flinch in the slightest!

"He didn't give me any chance; every move he made precisely targeted my weaknesses as white."

After a moment, Yu Shao finally looked away and turned his gaze back to the chessboard.

In this game, Su Yiming's every move was more aggressive than he expected, making him feel a heavy pressure that he hadn't felt in a long time.

"However, no one can possibly continue such a dense and persistent offensive indefinitely."

After pondering for a moment, Yu Shao finally picked up another chess piece and placed it down.

"As long as I don't give him a chance, the moment he reveals a weakness will be the moment Black collapses!"

Hey!
The instant Yu Shao placed the chess piece on the board, Su Yiming followed suit, pressing down the chess piece between his fingers!

Eighteen columns in four rows, stand up!
"It's been erected again!"

Seeing Su Yiming's move, Yu Shao immediately picked up a piece and placed it with lightning speed!

Hey!
Eighteen columns and five elements, block!
"Black has begun its counterattack!"

Everyone was taken aback by this move.

Previously, Black had always responded to each move as it came. But here, Black made its first move, and when it did, it was a fierce killing move that left everyone speechless!
"They've actually blocked it out completely here, demanding a total block on Black!"

The female notary standing nearby was also extremely alarmed, staring intently at the chessboard in the center of the game room not far away!
"White's jump is excellent. Even if Black crosses over, it won't hurt White. White can simply jump out in the center!"

"With the six black stones on the top side under attack, white has found a way to limit or disrupt the black shape on the bottom!"

"but--"

"Yu Shao played a blocking move, completely eliminating any possibility of Black spreading outwards, and also plotting to capture the vitality of Black's stones on the top side!"

Su Yiming stared intently at the chess piece that Yu Shao had just placed on the chessboard. After about two minutes, he picked up the piece and placed it down without hesitation!
Hey!
Fifteen columns, seven rows, jump!
Faced with White's counterattack, Black did not back down at all, and jumped up to fight back, determined to fight White to the death!
The game has entered a fierce and intense phase!

Black began to fight back fiercely, but White also adopted a do-or-die attitude, not only not backing down due to Black's tough stance, but even playing more aggressively than before!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The sound of chess pieces hitting the board echoed continuously throughout the game room!

All over the world, countless people are watching this final stop. They stare intently at the chessboard, not daring to blink, not daring to breathe, holding their breath.

They watched as the black and white chess pieces alternated on the board, witnessing this silent battle accompanied only by the sound of pieces being placed.

This battle, fought on a small chessboard, was, in their eyes, even more thrilling and fierce than the epic battles of thousands of troops in movies!

"fantastic!"

"White's counterattack was extremely swift, and every move was incredibly tricky, making the board extremely chaotic. However, even so, Black seemed to have calculated every possible variation and continued to put pressure on White!"

"The pressure from each of these attacks is suffocating. Only Yu Shao could withstand such a fierce and relentless assault."

"Logically speaking, playing like this would only make the situation more chaotic and increase the probability of making mistakes. However, Black is different. In this situation, every move Black makes is still impeccable!"

"Not only that, but Black made several moves that left me blushing and completely unexpected. Su Yiming not only didn't make any mistakes, but he even got better and better as the game progressed!"

"The situation is very close. At this point, both sides are locked in a fierce battle, and it should be a draw!"

"A worthy opponent indeed!"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments, and viewers were engaged in lively discussions.

"have equal shares?"

In the studio, Zhuang Weisheng stared intently at the large image in front of him and shook his head: "No, no, there are slight differences."

Upon hearing this, Chang Yan, a 9-dan player, was taken aback and turned to look at Zhuang Weisheng. Even she thought that the current situation should still be even.

"A slight difference?"

Chang Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Professor Zhuang Weisheng, what do you think is the advantage and the disadvantage?"

"It's not fair to say that the advantages and disadvantages are that significant."

Zhuang Weisheng paused, staring intently at the large screen broadcasting the match, and then slowly said, "However, Black is currently... slightly ahead!"

"Is Su Yiming slightly in the lead?"

Chang Yan pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Why? I feel the situation should be about the same."

"I can't explain why, it's just a feeling, but I think I'm not wrong."

Zhuang Weisheng said, "However, there is no point in delving into these details. Even if Black has a slight advantage, the board is still open and the battle lines are still long. It is not easy for White to play, and for Black, this game may not be easy either!"

"It's too early to judge the outcome based on superiority or inferiority!"

on the chessboard.

Black and white pieces rained down like raindrops, drawing everyone's attention. Unconsciously, everyone's minds were completely immersed in this game of chess.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a white piece landed on the chessboard.

Eighteen columns and seven rows, please!
"Take it here?"

Upon seeing this move, the crowd, who had been engrossed in the game, were suddenly startled, their mouths agape and their eyes widening in disbelief.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle at the top, but at this moment, White suddenly turned around and moved to the sideline, a move that seemed completely inexplicable.

Not only them, but even Su Yiming hadn't expected this move.

But not long after, Su Yiming's expression changed slightly. He immediately realized the profound meaning behind White's move and sensed the treacherous killing intent contained in it!
"The battle at the top is still undecided. His move to the sideline seems like a casual move, but upon closer inspection, it not only puts pressure on my weak black stones on the right flank, but also echoes the battle at the top!"

"Although I had more initiative in this exchange, White's counterattack was also very fierce, and my Black pieces could be killed if I'm not careful!"

"If White manages to complete this position as desired, my Black pieces will likely be completely wiped out!"

Su Yiming couldn't help but clench his left fist.

This was indeed a brilliant tactical move; this single, divinely skillful move was enough to be recorded in the Treatise on the Art of Chess. Perhaps other players, even after long periods of contemplation, might not have been able to find this move. However, Yu Shao grasped this tactical move almost instantly!
This is beyond what judgment and computing power can achieve; it's about intuition and strategic thinking!

Almost no one can keep an eye on the overall changes while the battle is raging on the front lines. Only by looking at the big picture and seeing the big picture clearly can one accurately find the right move!
However, even though Yu Shao had suddenly put him in check, Su Yiming quickly regained his composure, though fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and temples.

He also felt an immense pressure, a pressure that was almost enough to crush a person!
but--

"Click."

With the sound of chess pieces clashing, Su Yiming picked up a white piece from the chess box and quickly placed it down!

Eighteen columns, eight rows, turn!
A hint of ferocity flickered in Su Yiming's eyes!
Yu Shao also stared intently at the chessboard. After seeing Su Yiming place a piece, he pondered for a moment and finally picked up another piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Both sides continued to place their pieces, and soon they were locked in a fierce battle on the right side of the board. What started as a local battle gradually spread to the whole board and even intensified, showing no signs of stopping!

As the chess pieces were continuously placed one after another, everyone's mouths went dry.

"White's move was absolutely brilliant, a tactical maneuver!"

"If Black had the advantage before, it probably wouldn't be after this move. White might even be able to regain the initiative and launch a strong attack on Black!"

"No, not just possibly, it's definitely true!"

"The balance of power can change in an instant! If White can successfully gain the initiative, then Black will face a furious and relentless revenge from White!"

Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Su Yiming. They never expected that the black pieces, who had just been seizing the initiative at every turn, would suddenly find themselves in a precarious situation!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Soon, after a few more moves, Su Yiming suddenly raised his head, and with a soft click, he picked up a black chess piece from the chess box with his right fingers.

The next moment, his eyes sharpened, and the black chess piece between his right fingers drew an arc in mid-air before rapidly falling onto the chessboard!
Hey!
Fourteen columns and six rows, pointed!
The moment the chess piece was placed, the whole world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

"This……"

"tip?!"

Everyone was startled, and their expressions changed drastically!

Some couldn't help but exclaim, "Black is actually going to launch a strong attack on the three weak white stones on the top side?!"

Everyone stared at the chessboard in shock, unable to understand why, when Black's position was already somewhat unfavorable, Black didn't try to recover but instead went berserk, trying to kill White's stones on the top!

This is clearly a battle with a huge disparity in strength, and Black's move is tantamount to suicide!

But soon, when everyone began to re-examine the charts, after a long time, they couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

"Amazing...amazing skill!"

The answer, in a chilling way, quietly emerged!

Black's previous moves, which seemed like reinforcements, were actually laying the groundwork for this move, subtly strengthening the originally weak group!

This also led to a glimmer of hope for this seemingly suicidal act!
No, or rather, it was suicide that saved the entire group of black pieces!
The sharp point here crashes into the thick wall of the white stones, causing direct damage and ultimately leading to its demise. However, with this stone's death, the black stones above are actually reinforced once again!

This move, seemingly an offensive one, actually addresses the weaknesses of the black pieces!

If White ignores this, then this black stone, which is being sacrificed, will really dare to challenge White!

This makes the black pieces, which were originally at risk of being counterattacked, become indestructible once again!

Is it sharp?

Even Yu Shao's expression changed upon seeing Bai Zi's move, becoming somewhat unpleasant.

In this game, Su Yiming's displayed chess skills were completely beyond his expectations!

Several of Black's previous moves had been extremely difficult for him. He finally found an opportunity to launch a counterattack with a tesuji (a type of tactical move), but Black's move was something he hadn't expected at all.

He had thought he was about to launch a counterattack, but after this move, his counterattack vanished, and a large number of white pieces were once again under pressure!

"Although the numbers are similar, if this continues and they are constantly oppressed and exploited, the gap will only widen!"

Yu Shao's expression was icy cold. For the first time, he felt danger so clearly. Staring at the chessboard, he frantically calculated the myriad changes that would follow in the game.

And so, Yu Shao gazed quietly at the chessboard, and after a long while, he finally picked up a piece again and placed it on the board.

The moment Yu Shao placed his piece, Su Yiming also placed his piece on the board.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Both sides moved their pieces swiftly, and more than ten moves were made in quick succession!

"Su Yiming's move has once again taken away White's eye space; it's absolutely ruthless!"

The female notary, seeing the black piece fall again, couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling a chill in her heart.

"Completely denying White any chance of survival, relentlessly exploiting its weaknesses, this move seems to have no good response..."

She couldn't help but look up and glance at Yu Shao, only to be surprised to find that, faced with Su Yiming's fierce and unsolvable move, Yu Shao had already reached into the chess box and was about to place a piece!

"Kacha."

As the chess pieces collided, Yu Shao picked them out of the chess box!

The next moment, the hand descended from a great height!

Hey!
Seventeen columns, eight rows, pounce!
"This……"

Upon seeing this, the female music notator was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes widened in disbelief!

The two referees in front of her on the referee's stand did the same.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them almost couldn't help but stand up slightly, staring at the chessboard not far away, as if they couldn't believe their eyes!
On the other side of Yu Shao, Su Yiming's hand, which was about to reach into the chess box, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He stared blankly at the chessboard in front of him, looking at the white piece located in the seventeenth column and eighth row, a bead of cold sweat slowly sliding down his face!
In the official live stream of the Gemini Cup, the barrage of comments that had been flying like a waterfall just moments before vanished without a trace the moment this move was made, leaving only a deep silence!

With the placement of the piece, the entire world fell silent!
The entire world seemed to be filled with the echo of that single move, a truly earth-shattering sound!
On the 19-line chessboard—

Seven columns and ten rows!

flutter!
……

……

the other side.

Inside the broadcast room.

Zhuang Weisheng stared at the big screen without blinking, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Because, he racked his brains, but couldn't find the words to describe this move!
After a long while, he finally spoke and made his evaluation, breaking the silence of the entire world!

"A brutal move!"

Yes!

This move can only be described as "brutal"!
　Asking for a monthly ticket!
