I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 412 Fighting Spirit Bursting From the Brink of Death

Chapter 412 Fighting Spirit Bursting From the Brink of Death
Standing beside Zhuang Weisheng, upon hearing his assessment of "a ruthless move," Chang Yan stared blankly at the large screen, and stammered, "This..."

She swallowed hard. "I really didn't expect this..."

Even as a former Go Saint and now a 9th Dan, she was deeply shocked by this save.

In this board position, black and white are locked in a fierce battle, making it difficult to determine the winner. The key to the game lies in how white deals with the large group of black stones in the upper part of the board, which, although in a low position, have the potential to cut off white's vital stones!
Black has actually set a dilemma for White here!

At this point, if White directly tries to capture the Black stones on the top, then Black will connect, White will then attack and capture, Black will capture the White stones in the center, and White will continue to attack...

In the end, Black continued to connect and reinforce the cut, and when White made another move, Black's stones extended!
Here, White chose to make this move to capture!

That was a brutal move, truly deserving of its name!

If Black captures at this point, White will then attack and capture, Black will connect on the top, White will attack... and in the end, Black will be captured!

If Black doesn't capture the white stones above, White will have another option: to play a move that allows for a squeeze after the initial attack!

Black cannot capture at this point, otherwise White will "roll" Black's pieces into an inefficient and foolish shape through continuous sacrifices and captures, eventually encircling and annihilating Black's pieces!
Since Black cannot capture, Black can stick to the side. White then has a strong move to attack on the second line. If Black captures, White can cross over!
In this way, White not only escaped Black's attack as a whole, but Black's large group on the top was not completely wiped out, and Black was instantly in a precarious situation!

So, what if Black plays a move when White plays a move?
Not at all.

White actually has a counter-attack technique here!

After Black captures a stone, White's position seems extremely precarious. White can continue to attack and capture Black's stones, but Black will inevitably connect and try to escape. White can then attack again, and Black can escape again...

There are many black pieces at the bottom of the board. It seems that black can escape, but in fact, even though there are a large number of black pieces at the bottom, they are completely ineffective against the capture of black pieces!

If the game continues like this, Black will eventually be killed by White's incredible, one-way capture, right before the desperate eyes of countless reinforcements!

Yes!

Even if Black has a thousand troops, it will be useless and it will be unable to escape its demise!
Even this can be captured by White's capture!

This is the most shocking place, a place that no one would dare to even imagine.

Only when the chess piece is actually placed on the board, there is no turning back. Everyone can only grit their teeth and keep calculating, and only then can they be shocked to discover this awe-inspiring mystery!
This move was beyond the ordinary.

With a single move, all of Black's pieces were rendered lifeless, leaving half the board devoid of any hope of survival. The sound of the board being closed was accompanied by the low murmur of blood and death.
This is called—

Intense!

……

……

Hands talking indoors.

Su Yiming looked down at the chessboard in front of him, his forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.

His expression was so solemn that it could even be described as somewhat frightening, sending chills down one's spine. The notarizer and judge standing nearby could feel the heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
"Completely beyond my expectations..."

"Originally, it was the white pieces that were in a dilemma, but after this move, I am the one who is now in a dilemma, with absolutely no way out!"

"All avenues of survival have been cut off by this one move!"

Su Yiming gritted his teeth, reached into the chess box again, picked out a black piece, and placed it down once more!

Hey!
Seventeen columns, nine rows, lift!
The moment the piece was placed, Su Yiming picked up the white piece that had been killed by the black piece from the chessboard and put it in the lid of the chess box next to him.

Black has chosen to capture a piece!
Although he captured a white piece, Su Yiming's expression only became more unpleasant.

Because this piece wasn't killed by him, but rather one that White didn't want, and one that Black had no choice but to kill!
Yu Shao followed closely behind and quickly placed another chess piece on the board.

Hey!
Fourteen columns, seven rows, attack!
If Black captures a piece, then White's next move, a counterattack that everyone expected, is a poking move!
"It can only be this way!"

Su Yiming clenched his teeth, sweat slowly sliding down his cheeks, and quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it down again.

Hey!
Fifteen columns and eight rows, paste!
"Su Yiming didn't dare to stick it on top, so he finally compromised and chose to stick it on the bottom!"

Seeing Su Yiming's skill, the female music notator standing beside him was deeply moved.

"Black ultimately conceded!"

This was the only time Black had to concede, but it was the only option. If Black continued to press on at this point, it would face total annihilation!

Although Black has temporarily escaped danger by making such a concession, the advantage that Black painstakingly accumulated in the first half of the game has not only vanished, but has even fallen into a huge disadvantage!

Faced with a certain death and a high probability of death, Black chose the latter!
This also shows that Black is still hoping to fight back and make a desperate gamble in the latter half of the game!
Even if this hope is slim, but...

It definitely exists!

Black wants to win, no matter what!
Everyone could clearly sense this, and the desire to win was so strong that it touched everyone's heart!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
On the chessboard, the pieces are placed one after another!

"I'm at a disadvantage in the battle above, but I can make a comeback!"

Ignoring the beads of sweat streaming down his face, Su Yiming quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it back on the board.

"The bottom of the board is still quite empty. This is the focus of the next battle. As long as I can catch up by more than fifteen points here, I can still win!"

On the other side, although they had turned the tide and even gained a considerable advantage, Yu Shao's expression remained focused and serious.

A moment later, Yu Shao reached into the chess box again, picked out a chess piece, and quickly placed it down!
Hey!
Nine columns and fourteen rows, turn!
"It will certainly be very difficult to catch up by fifteen points."

Seeing Yu Shao place his piece, Su Yiming once again reached into the chess box, feeling the chilling coldness of the chess piece!

"My opponent is not someone who can be described as just a simple strongman!"

"In fact, he is the most powerful adversary I have faced in both lifetimes, apart from the one I encountered online that day!"

"But I have to do it!"

"I only have a chance to win if I can catch up by more than fifteen points!"

Su Yiming's eyes held stubbornness, persistence, and a hint of... madness—knowing it was impossible yet still doing it anyway!

"Then let's give it a try!"

Click!

With the sound of chess pieces clashing, Su Yiming picked up another piece and placed it on the board with a fierce strike!

Did you jump away?

Yu Shao calmly examined the chessboard and instantly understood Su Yiming's intention. He quickly picked up a chess piece and pressed it heavily onto the chessboard!

"Despite my threats, he still forcefully broke through my defenses and continued to damage my ward!"

Su Yiming's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed the overwhelming power of this move, and sweat streamed down his forehead uncontrollably.

"However, Black also has weaknesses. If he attacks my left side, then I will attack his right side to invade and break through his territory!"

Click!

The crisp sound of chess pieces clashing rang out again. Su Yiming took a deep breath, picked up a chess piece, and quickly placed it down.

Hey!
Sixteen columns and twelve rows, fly!

Kuroko, choose to launch a strong attack on the right flank!
Facing a strong opponent with white pieces, Su Yiming's flying move was a suicidal attack, almost reckless. The black pieces that had penetrated so deeply would most likely be captured by the black pieces!
Su Yiming couldn't possibly be unaware of this!

He wasn't hoping to actually defeat White with this move, but rather he was looking for another way, hoping that even if the Black stones that went deep into White's territory were captured, they could still be used to their advantage!

Let the dead pieces play their role, and turn despair into a path to survival!

This is what is meant by living towards death!

"Borrowing the dead son..."

Yu Shao's expression also turned serious again. He could feel the killing intent coming from the chessboard, and even he couldn't help but feel the danger!
In this situation, the idea of ​​a suicide attack, using dead pieces to carry out a fierce explosion, and causing a riot in the White's home base, is enough to make everyone tremble with fear!

He does have an advantage, and a significant one at that. However, the game is too chaotic, so chaotic that it's impossible to control. Even if he played in his previous life, he would have no confidence in bringing the game to a smooth conclusion!
This was the kind of board position he least wanted to see in his past life. Nine times out of ten, he lost in this kind of situation. If the situation was relatively stable, he never lost as long as he had the advantage!

Not a single one!

However, this game has become unimaginably chaotic!

This means that he cannot compromise and must launch a relentless attack, leaving no way out for his opponent while also cutting off his own escape route. It will either result in a resounding victory or a crushing defeat!

"In such a volatile and uncertain market, even though I have the advantage right now, I cannot afford to be careless, or I will be doomed!"

A moment later, Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint, and once again reached out to pick up a chess piece and quickly placed it down.

"We must use our advantage to compress Black's living space and leave Black no chance to turn the game around!"

Hey!
Ten columns and fourteen rows, town!
"They've got you... They want to trap me in the area above, even at the cost of ensuring I can create a ten-fold opening!"

Sweat poured down Su Yiming's face. He gritted his teeth and reached into the chess box again to pick out a chess piece.

His gaze toward the chessboard held a chilling murderous intent.

He can't accept the empty space that can be created!
Because this is a sugar-coated bullet given by White, although the gap between him and White will narrow after he creates these territories, he cannot surpass White by much. It will become more difficult for him to overtake White!
In the ensuing exchange below, he must gain at least fifteen points in favor of White!
"I'll sacrifice a piece for him to eat, forcefully seize the initiative in the lower left corner, and then use that initiative to gain control of the encirclement!"

Hey!
The black pieces are once again placed on the crisscrossing chessboard!
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and the competition intensified, to the point that everyone stared intently, unable to breathe, and deeply shaken!
"I know what Black is going to do."

"But, really, is it possible?"

"If you want to reverse the situation, you must gain a lead of more than 15 points in the lower part of the board!"

"This...it should be...probably...possibly impossible, right?"

Black's intentions are obvious to everyone, but what Black is trying to do is almost an impossible task!
Su Yiming is indeed a prodigy with extraordinary talent, but Yu Shao is an even more unparalleled genius. It is extremely difficult, almost impossible, for him to surpass him by more than fifteen points!

Or rather, what Su Yiming wants to do now is something that has never been done before or since!
However, seeing Su Yiming's fierce fighting spirit and genius in every move he made in the face of adversity, everyone hesitated in the face of this impossible answer!

At that moment, another black piece was placed on the chessboard!
"tip?!"

"What a powerful move!"

Seeing this move, everyone couldn't help but feel excited, feeling both a little scared and unable to contain their excitement!
"Black went all out, playing a move that all players would avoid at all costs, thus gaining the opportunity to attack White!"

"White is in a difficult position here, if—"

In the live stream, the chat had just started to buzz, but the moment the white piece was placed on the board, all the noise suddenly stopped!

White!

Seventeen columns, seven rows, stab!
"Completely... seen through!"

Someone exclaimed in shock:
"This move, placed on the top, punishes the fractured shape of Black's stones from afar, and even targets Black's large group of stones. It's a brilliant response! There's no better counterattack than this!"

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The pieces keep falling onto the board!

Everyone was completely stunned, their emotions rising and falling with each move of the pieces.

They often felt that Black had no chance, but Black would suddenly make a brilliant move that exceeded their expectations, causing the board to become unpredictable again!
But just when they thought Black had a chance, White immediately used a tricky move to ruthlessly cut off the last glimmer of hope that Black had fought so hard for.

Seeing the indomitable fighting spirit that the black pieces displayed in the face of adversity, everyone was deeply moved, and some were even overcome with emotion.

When they saw White ruthlessly crush Black's hopes with superior tactics, they felt cruel, yet... they couldn't help but applaud in admiration!
For a moment, they didn't even know who they wanted to win.

Perhaps this is precisely the charm of Go.

It's not about winning or losing, but about every move.

Soon, another white piece was placed on the board.

Hey!
Seven columns and twelve rows, bang!
"It collided directly with my black stone on the left flank, and it got injured instantly."

Inside the chess room, Su Yiming seemed to have only the chessboard in front of him in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth, picked up a chess piece again, and placed it on the chessboard.

"Now, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and launch a full-scale attack on the lower left!"

On the chessboard, black and white pieces collapsed like an avalanche, covering half of the board.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Time slips away quietly.

I don't know when, but the whole world has become silent.

Even in the official Twins Cup live stream, there were very few comments.

Everyone stared blankly at the chessboard, feeling somewhat disheartened.

The area at the bottom of the chessboard is getting narrower and narrower, and there are not many places left to place pieces.

For Black to win, it must overtake Black in the previously empty lower part of the board.

Now the black and white lines have gradually formed at the bottom of the board. However, even though the black stones have used all their skills in the battle at the bottom, they have only managed to recover eight or nine points at most.

We're still a long way from overtaking them by fifteen points...

This also means that Black's dream of overtaking Black by 15 points in the lower area will likely be completely shattered in the end.

"Looks like it still won't work..."

"Yu Shao is too strong, really... too strong, too strong."

"Even though it's already like this, it's still not good."

"Since the bottom cannot turn the tide, then Black is bound to lose."

"There's no chance..."

 Asking for a monthly ticket!
