I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 433 Next

Still lost.

Everyone could see that Wu Zhixuan might have underestimated her opponent in the first game and failed to unleash her full potential, but in the second game, she truly gave it her all.

Even so, despite using all her skills, Wu Zhixuan was still completely helpless against the girl.

"Take it again!"

Upon hearing Wu Zhixuan choose to throw the ball, the girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.

Seeing the game end, the surrounding crowd was still incredulous at the game. After they came to their senses, they looked at the girl sitting opposite Wu Zhixuan and couldn't help but whisper among themselves in shock.

"The girl who played black already played beautifully, but the one who played white was even more amazing."

"How old is she? And she's a female Go player, she's... she's too strong!"

"Who is he? Is he a professional Go player?"

"Even a regular professional player couldn't have played like White in this game, right?"

The people around whispered among themselves, their eyes constantly glancing at the girl, all trying to figure out who she was.

Hearing the whispers around him, Wu Shuheng's eyes darkened slightly. He took a deep breath, walked straight to Wu Zhixuan's side, looked up at the girl opposite Wu Zhixuan, and said, "I'll play a round!"

Upon hearing this, the murmurs ceased abruptly, and everyone turned to look at Wu Shuheng.

"Was he with the girl who lost the game earlier?"

"He's still playing after watching these two games? Is he better than the girl who lost the game earlier? Even though she lost, her skill level was still quite high."

"Does he think he can win? To avenge his teammate?"

Upon hearing this, no one left. They all looked at Wu Shuheng and whispered among themselves with curiosity.

Yu Shao couldn't help but glance at Wu Shuheng again, but his thoughts were completely different from the others.

In his view, Wu Shuheng was indeed much stronger than Wu Zhixuan, but it would be extremely difficult for him to beat that girl. Therefore, there was no basis for the claim that Wu Shuheng was trying to get revenge for Wu Zhixuan.

To get revenge, one must have a sure chance of winning, otherwise it would be a joke, and Wu Shuheng clearly didn't have much of a chance of winning.

Wu Shuheng wanted to play against his opponent simply because he had witnessed the opponent's skill level and wanted to test his abilities; it was a very pure desire.

"Row."

The girl played two games of chess in a row. Far from feeling tired, she became even more addicted to the game. Upon hearing this, she smiled and nodded without hesitation: "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhixuan stood up with a somewhat sullen expression, silently making way for Wu Shuheng and taking the place where Wu Shuheng had been standing.

As soon as Wu Zhixuan moved aside, Wu Shuheng immediately sat down, picked up the chess box, and said, "Let's decide who goes first."

The girl nodded and quickly reached into the chess box, grabbing a handful of white pieces. Wu Shuheng immediately took out black pieces and placed them on the chessboard, and they began to guess who would go first.

The result of the divination was that Wu Shuheng played white and the girl played black.

The two exchanged chess boxes, bowed, and the game began again.

The girl quickly picked up a chess piece and made her first move.

Hey!
Seventeen columns, four rows, small eyes!

Wu Shuheng stared at the chessboard, looking as if facing a formidable enemy. His expression was extremely focused. After thinking for a while, he finally picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Four columns and sixteen rows, a star!
Da da da……

The two sides took turns placing their pieces, and soon a small-eye-to-two-star formation was formed. Then, the girl made a high-hanging move, and Wu Shuheng made a low-pressing move between the two spaces, thus setting the stage for a major battle.

The second floor of the chess hall fell silent again, with everyone intently watching the game, observing each move of the two sides, as if they could see the flashes of swords and blades on the chessboard.

Many people were surprised by Wu Shuheng's performance in this confrontation.

"That guy was really something else. He played with great force, and every move he made was beautiful."

Someone was just looking at the chessboard and whispered to the friend next to him, "White is aggressively attacking the black stones in the small eye area, but he actually sacrificed the stones and his strong position. He was very decisive."

His friend, who was focused on the chessboard, nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "More importantly, even on very complex board situations, it can react immediately, demonstrating profound calculation skills."

"Black spent so many moves launching a strong attack, but failed to solidify its position. Faced with the siege, White simply sacrificed a stone."

"Although Black captured a group of White stones, White gained influence after sacrificing stones. Black can be said to have gained no advantage at all, not to mention that White has the potential to launch a counterattack!"

"They're all so strong!"

Da da da……

The sound of pieces being placed echoed continuously throughout the chess hall.

On the chessboard, the black and white pieces continued to spread, and the situation gradually became more complex and unpredictable, causing those around to frown slightly and fall into deep thought as the game progressed.

"His thinking is very coherent, and his understanding is very profound. He never makes the necessary strong positions weak, and he never invades when he needs to, and when he builds up a strong position, he swallows it whole without hesitation..."

The girl gazed thoughtfully at the chessboard in front of her, gaining a general understanding of Wu Shuheng's chess skills.

"He has no weaknesses, his playing style is well-rounded and balanced, and he is much better than that girl from before, but... he is too textbook-like."

"If that's all there is to it, there's no way you can beat me."

The girl quickly picked up another chess piece and gently placed it down.

Hey!
Six columns and eight rows, fly!

Everyone was engrossed in the game, deducing its future developments, but their train of thought was abruptly interrupted by the girl's move.

"Down here...?"

Everyone looked bewildered, completely unable to understand why the black piece would be placed there. They could only stare at the chessboard, furrow their brows, and begin to ponder deeply.

Not only them, but Wu Shuheng also frowned deeply, lost in thought.

"fly?"

Yu Shao finally couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl opposite him. He was genuinely surprised to see that she had come up with this move.

This is a move that defies common sense and experience. To find and play this move requires not only chess skills, observation skills, strategic thinking, and calculation ability, but also unconventional imagination.

Or rather, this is a technique from the post-AI era.

Just like when humans challenge Go AI, the Go AI suddenly makes a move that is incomprehensible, even inexplicable. At first, the human players had no idea what the AI ​​was trying to do.

Often, it is only later in the game that human players realize the significance of a move and are deeply impressed by its ingenuity.

Because human chess players often rely on past experience to play, the techniques used by AI are moves that human players would never even think of. They could say that no one had ever imagined that it could be played this way, and it completely falls into the blind spots of human chess players.

For example, AI-powered flying cranes.

Later, as Go AI became more widespread, most players continuously reviewed and analyzed their games, gradually discovering these blind spots and daring to try them out, even making mistakes in major tournaments.

However, because these techniques are not fixed and are not a set pattern, they require certain specific formations. Therefore, even though there were Go AIs in the past and human players found many blind spots, not all players could play these moves.

However, these moves from the post-AI era were actually played more than once before the advent of Go AI. The difference is that Go AI relies on cold calculations and win rates to find these moves, while human players need unconventional imagination to find them, such as the five-space shoulder hit.

But this flying move now has a hint of the techniques used in the post-AI era.

After a while, Wu Shuheng looked at the chessboard and suddenly seemed to realize something. His expression changed drastically, his jaw clenched, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

Wu Shuheng still didn't make a move, staring at the chessboard, lost in a long period of contemplation.

However, the people around still couldn't figure out the purpose of this flying move, and their brows furrowed even more.

"This……"

Finally, after a moment, someone's pupils constricted slightly, as if they had discovered something. Staring at the chessboard in disbelief, they couldn't help but exclaim, "This is..."

"what happened?"

Hearing this, many people nearby looked over, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

"White..."

The man stared intently at the chessboard, a fine layer of sweat appearing on his forehead. He spoke with some difficulty, "It's no longer possible for Black to build a strong position and swallow White whole. With this move, Black has completely destroyed White's strong position!"

"how is this possible?"

Hearing this, everyone felt it was absurd, but they still looked at the chessboard again and continued to deduce the subsequent changes in the game.

White cuts, Black attacks, White extends, Black extends, White extends again, Black connects, Black digs...

More and more people's expressions gradually changed. Some people who were smoking on the side, after figuring out the key to the game, subconsciously took the cigarette from their mouths and stared at the chessboard in shock.

Finally, after a while, a fierce look appeared in Wu Shuheng's eyes, and he picked up a chess piece and placed it down again.

The girl opposite him was also extremely focused. After thinking for a moment, she picked up a chess piece and placed it on a clever move.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
More and more black and white pieces were placed, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty moves had passed.

The girl's expression remained intensely focused throughout, to the point that it subtly exuded an imposing aura.

Wu Shuheng's expression was extremely grim, with sweat pouring down his face, making each move incredibly difficult.

Finally, someone in the crowd, who was staring intently at the chessboard, spoke up: "It seems... he's no match for that girl either."

The crowd remained silent, for they all knew that, not just seemingly, the young man was no match for the girl.

"Just who is that girl?"

The burly man, covered in cold sweat, couldn't help but ask.

Although he wasn't directly involved, even just observing the game from the sidelines, he could feel immense pressure bearing down on him.

No one answered, because they didn't know the answer to the question either, which was also what they wanted to know.

Time keeps passing.

"I lost."

Finally, after about ten minutes, Wu Shuheng looked at the chessboard and finally spoke with difficulty, choosing to resign.

At this point in the game, the board is very stable, and there is no chance left. Even if the game goes to the endgame and all the endgame pieces are won, Black will still win by a large margin.

Therefore, they had no choice but to throw the stones.

There was silence.

Wu Shuheng was already extremely strong; his performance in this game was enough to make them all bow down in admiration. However, when facing the girl, he was completely powerless to fight back, and his performance was even worse than Wu Zhixuan's in the previous game.

"Thanks for the advice."

The girl lowered her head and said to Wu Shuheng.

Wu Shuheng returned the greeting dejectedly: "Thank you for your guidance."

The girl smiled, tidying up the chess pieces as she looked up at Yu Shao, as if she were playing a game and calling out, "Next."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shao was taken aback.

Next?
Yu Shao pointed to himself and asked, puzzled, "Me?"

Not only Yu Shao, but Wu Zhixuan and Wu Shuheng were also stunned when they heard the girl's words.

"Yes."

The girl nodded matter-of-factly, then asked somewhat strangely, "Didn't the three of you come together? They know how to play chess, so you should be able to too, right? They've all played, aren't you going to play too?"

"I will, no..."

Yu Shao opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Saying you know how to play chess makes it seem like you should naturally play, while saying you don't know how to play chess seems a bit strange.

At this moment, all the customers in the chess hall turned their heads and cast their gazes at Yu Shao.

Feeling the gazes cast upon him by everyone in the chess hall, Yu Shao thought for a moment, then finally shut his mouth, took a step, walked to the girl, and stopped beside Wu Shuheng.

Seeing Yu Shao walk up to him, Wu Shuheng finally came to his senses. He blinked, looked at Yu Shao, and then at Wu Zhixuan, who was still a little confused.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Shuheng stood up and quickly made way for Yu Shao, who then pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the girl.

Do you want to play black or white?

Seeing Yu Shao sit down opposite her, the girl smiled and asked, "Or shall we guess first?"

Let's guess first.

Yu Shao said as he picked up the chess box.

Hearing this, the girl was slightly surprised, but quickly nodded and said, "Okay, let's guess first."

None of the onlookers left; they all remained silently in place, ready to watch the game until its final moments.

After saying that, the girl reached into the chess box and grabbed a handful of white pieces. Seeing this, Yu Shao also took out two black pieces from the chess box and placed them on the chessboard.

The girl let go, and several white pieces fell onto the chessboard.

"Eight, an even number, you guessed right."

The girl counted the numbers, then looked at Yu Shao and said with a smile, "I'll take the white one."

"I play black."

Yu Shao nodded, put the black pieces back into the chess box, and bowed to the girl, saying, "Please give me your guidance."

The girl opposite him also put all the white pieces back into the chess box, then bowed her head to Yu Shao in return, saying, "Please give me your guidance."
