I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 437 The Ultimate Showdown Between Real Power and External Influence
Just then, Yu Shao picked up another chess piece and quickly placed it down!

Fourteen columns and eight rows, dig!
"Should we go dig first, or open up a new battlefield?"

Everyone was stunned by this move, completely unprepared for Yu Shao to make that move.

"If White accepts Black's sacrifice, White can easily capture the entire stone, leading to complex offensive and defensive moves for both sides. If White wants to maintain complex variations, then a move like 'ban' is the obvious choice!"

"So, White deliberately digs here instead of moving first?"

As everyone examined the game and pondered its intricacies, they gradually realized the brilliance of White's move, and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.

"Swallowing a discarded pawn is certainly an option!"

"But since White has already sacrificed this area, there's no rush to capture dead stones. To gain the initiative, White directly digs away from the previous area!"

"This is the most efficient move. However, although Black sacrifices a stone, White does not immediately capture it. This means that Black has the potential to revive in the future, which would lead to White's collapse!"

Black's decisive sacrifice was already stunning and incredibly beautiful, but no one expected White's response to be even more breathtaking!

"In pursuit of ultimate efficiency, White risked total annihilation, but in doing so, played the most, most, most, most severe move. This move can only be described as... brutal!"

The word "fierce" made many people pause for a moment, recalling Zhuang Weisheng's comments on the amazing draw between Yu Shao and Su Yiming during the Twin Cup. Yu Shao's image flashed through their minds!

What is meant by "extremely fierce"?

Brutal, extremely fierce, and oppressive with a cold-bloodedness that shows no mercy!

On the other side, seeing Yu Shao's digging move, the young man's expression changed slightly.

This move was completely unexpected, and the overwhelming killing intent surging within it made him feel an unprecedented sense of pressure!

The young man gritted his teeth, staring intently at the chessboard, his mind racing as he calculated the ever-changing possibilities on the board.

This move was indeed fierce, launching an unparalleled attack on Black, making it extremely difficult for Black to respond.

"Next move, I'll play a flying move. If he extends, I'll play a hook; if he cuts, I'll play a pressing move. I should be able to use this to maneuver against White!"

"As long as we don't get crushed and survive this ordeal, once we have the time to manage our sacrificed pieces, then White will collapse!"
Thinking of this, a fierce glint appeared in the young man's eyes. He immediately picked up a chess piece and quickly placed it!
Hey!
Fourteen columns and ten rows, fly!
Yu Shao also quickly placed his chess piece.

Thirteen columns and eight rows, so long!
"It's really growing out..."

The young man instantly picked up a chess piece and placed it right next to the black piece.

"Now we have no choice but to back down. As long as we can hold out against White's initial moves, White will naturally collapse!"

Hey!
Ten columns and fourteen rows, turn!
"You pulled it out?"

Upon seeing this move, everyone couldn't help but feel a slight surprise.

The young man's move is the strongest move in the local area. White extends out, and Black jumps. Even if it means losing points, Black is willing to force a shape and ensure that Black's life or death is not in danger!
Although this is a defensive move and may seem somewhat weak, it is the strongest counterattack against White's unreasonable digging.

This defensive tactic is truly ruthless!
Yu Shao glanced at the chessboard, and without much thought, immediately placed a white piece!

Hey!
Eight columns and thirteen rows, wow!
Upon witnessing this move, everyone gasped in shock, their hearts filled with astonishment.

Black's move, "Ban," would force a shape at the cost of losing points, but White's move, "Wait," is so ingenious it's astonishing. It forces a shape with a large area of ​​territory. If Black is to lose points to shape a shape, then White can simply move "Xiao Jue" to directly form a large area of ​​territory!
If White really manages to build a large territory in the center, even if Black manages to free up the pieces and revitalize the area, it will still be a futile effort!
"He didn't break it, but chose to hang himself..."

The young man took a deep breath and placed his chess piece down again.

Hey!
Fourteen columns and thirteen rows, a continuous beat!
Seeing this move, everyone's mouths went dry, and their eyes were filled with shock.

"That's a brilliant move too. Black's consecutive moves here not only conceal a move to invade White's territory, but also strengthen itself. It's a high-level move that works in two ways!"

At this moment, the white piece was placed again.

The moment the white stone was placed, the black stone followed suit, placing its own stone immediately afterward.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
With a crisp sound of pieces being placed, black and white pieces were continuously placed on the chessboard.

The people around were completely stunned. They couldn't even describe their own thoughts at that moment. Apart from the various changes in the chess game, they couldn't think of anything else!

Every move made by both sides was meticulously planned, with brilliant and dazzling moves, and endless tactical maneuvers. It was like watching a chess game composed of countless real-world chess games, which was simply like art, and endless, overflowing with the brilliance of genius!
"Every move Black makes is flawless, no, not just flawless... you could even say it's exquisite!"

Some people stared at the game in utter shock, somewhat incoherently saying, "But, without anyone noticing, the situation has shifted in White's favor!"

Another person, their face covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, said, "The gap is too big. Even if I can understand White's moves now, I still don't know why White's advantage is getting bigger and bigger."

Everyone was completely focused on the game, and the air was thick with tension and immense pressure. The fierce battles in the game gave the chess hall a tragic and heroic feel!

Soon, after another ten or so moves...

"Although I don't know why, Black ultimately couldn't withstand White's initiative and was dragged into a quagmire of fighting. In the end, that group of sacrificed stones died..."

"In that case, I'm afraid Black will—"

His words suddenly stopped!

On the chessboard, another black piece was placed!
Hey!
Seven columns and fifteen rows, a huge jump!

"A... a big jump?!"

The person who had just spoken twitched slightly. This move was not difficult to understand; he grasped the black piece's intention almost instantly.

"Black should use this big jump to build up influence on the outside!"

The people around instantly realized the purpose of the young man's big jump. Looking back at the first few moves of the black pieces, each move suddenly seemed to have a deeper meaning!
"Black had already realized that the abandoned pieces were likely doomed, so he secretly laid out a way out for himself!"

"The previous seven or eight moves seemed like ordinary responses, but after this big jump was played, those seemingly ordinary responses instantly resonated with the big jump, becoming anything but ordinary!"

"Black has gained influence on the outside. Although still at a disadvantage, it now has the strength to compete with White!"

Everyone was stunned.

They thought the key to the game was whether Black could withstand White's series of aggressive moves, but they didn't expect that Black would use various tactics to turn the game into a battle for influence and territory!
"That was a really big jump."

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and couldn't help but frown slightly. He raised his head and gave the young man opposite him a deep look.

Although he had thought of this path before, he did not expect that the young man on the other side would actually be able to walk out of it, and the game that should have been settled was thrown into further turmoil.

He never expected that the game of chess at the chess hall would turn out this way; the young man's chess skills were completely beyond his expectations.

This is no ordinary professional chess player.

Although Yu Shao still had no idea of ​​the young man's identity, the young man opposite him was definitely one of the few players who stood at the top of the Go world!

Yu Shao composed himself, his expression becoming much more serious. After a moment's thought, he finally picked up a chess piece and placed it down again.

Hey!
Nineteen columns and seven rows, stick!
"It's stuck."

Upon seeing this move, the young man bit his lower lip, his eyes serious.

White's move of connecting is the most tactful variation, waiting for an opportunity to probe Black's response. Although he has already established influence on the outside, he is actually at a loss as to how to proceed. If possible, he would prefer to remain still and observe White's movements before making a decision. However, White's probing move forces him to make an immediate statement.

"So……"

After a moment, the young man's eyes narrowed, and he finally picked up a chess piece again.

Having come this far, as someone directly involved, he already knew who was sitting opposite him!
Although the girl had played chess with Yu Shao before, she couldn't identify her opponent just by looking at the game, because she didn't have a good enough understanding of each move. But he was different!
His eyes were sharp, even somewhat fierce, as he quickly placed his piece!
"bring it on!"

Hey!
Five columns and eight rows, fire!

On the other side, seeing the black piece fall, Yu Shao also grabbed a piece amidst the clattering of pieces and quickly placed it down!
The moment Yu Shao placed his piece, the young man simultaneously reached into the chess box, picked up a black piece, and placed it on the chessboard!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
The sound of pieces being placed echoed continuously within the chess hall, lingering for a long time.

Both of them were incredibly focused, as if they had forgotten everything around them, their eyes only on the chess game in front of them, detached from the mundane world, and immersed in the back-and-forth of attack and kill!

Everyone stared intently at the chessboard, not daring to blink or even breathe loudly.

They watched as the chess pieces were constantly falling on the board, witnessing this fierce battle accompanied only by the sound of pieces being placed, the sound of pieces being placed like a deafening roar!
Black sacrifices a stone to gain influence on the outside, while White seizes territory, just like the yin and yang of Go, intertwined and vying for supremacy!

"White's pressure was brilliant, a retreat that was actually an advance, threatening Black's large group from afar. But Black immediately retaliated, not fixated on the outside influence, and through the exchange, tried to further reduce White's territory."

"However, White did not stand idly by. It immediately moved to try to trigger a ko fight, and it was another terrifying move. I couldn't think of how to respond. Black's answer was actually a point."

"This brilliant move seized a fleeting opportunity, discerned the remaining threat in White's pieces, and directly pinned White down, forcing White to be wary of Black's counterattack!"

The people around stared blankly at the chessboard, thinking about every move from the beginning to the end, feeling both shocked and bewildered...

Because both the black and white pieces far exceeded their expectations, such a game of chess should not have happened here, and they should not be the ones witnessing it.

They even felt a sense of shame, wondering what they had done to deserve witnessing every move being made.

Hey!
The crisp sound of a piece being placed echoed throughout the chess hall as another white piece landed on the board!
Three columns and seven rows, stab!

"Did you get stabbed?"

Upon seeing this move, everyone present couldn't help but tremble slightly, their pupils contracting slightly.

Not only them, but even the young man's expression changed drastically after this move.

After pondering for a long time, the young man gritted his teeth and finally reached into the chess box again.

Although he had always been curious about Yu Shao and wanted to play against him, it was only when he was actually sitting opposite Yu Shao that he truly felt the heavy pressure coming from the other side of the chessboard!

"Click."

With the sound of chess pieces clashing, the young man picked up a black piece from the chess box and quickly placed it down!
Five columns and seven rows, turn!

At this moment, the young man's eyes were like those of a tiger or wolf, with a hint of ferocity, as if his ferocity had been completely unleashed in the face of desperation!

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard, pondered for a moment, and then quickly picked up a chess piece and placed it down.

Both sides continued to place their pieces, and soon they were locked in a fierce battle on the left side of the board. This struggle for influence and territory was intensifying, making everyone around them break out in a cold sweat.

As the chess pieces continued to fall, their mouths became dry.

"White's thrust was extremely ruthless, aiming to kill Black by exploiting Black's cutting point. Black's block seemed like a very difficult counterattack, but after White initiated the ko fight, Black's block was actually placed in an excellent position!"

"However, White's next move, the tiger's head, feels like four arrows piercing the heart!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill for the young man. The white stones' territory in the four corners was spreading towards the center almost simultaneously. If this trend continued, the young man's external influence would probably be completely eroded!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
After a few more moves, the young man suddenly stared intently at the chessboard, gritted his teeth, and with a soft click, picked up a black piece from the chess box with his right hand.

The next moment, his eyes turned fierce, and with a black piece between his fingers, he drew a black line and swiftly placed it on the chessboard!
Hey!
Fifteen columns, six rows, turn!
"Turn out? At this time?"

Everyone was startled, and some couldn't help but exclaim, "Black, is turning around now and launching a strong attack on White's territory?"

Everyone stared intently at the chessboard, unable to comprehend why Black had suddenly launched an attack. Despite Black's already precarious position on the outside, Black was determined to forcefully attack White's rock-solid territory!

However, after carefully examining the market and analyzing the situation, many people couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

"Tesuji!"

"this--"

"That's some skill!"

"Black is about to make a big exchange! Here, Black can actually create a huge exchange with White in terms of territory, worth as much as 60 or 70 points!"

Everyone stared in disbelief!

This technique is so exquisite that it cannot be described in words; it can only be understood through experience!

Black's influence on the outside was already precarious, but if White continues to encroach, Black can create a massive exchange, which is absolutely unacceptable to White!
"In this way, Black's external influence still has potential!"

"They held on tightly, refusing to let go at all! Faced with White's overwhelming attack from all four corners, Black's external influence was surprisingly not overwhelmed or shaken!"

Everyone felt a surge of turmoil in their hearts, unable to calm down at all!
"A tiger..."

Even Yu Shao's expression changed again upon seeing the young man's move, and he frowned deeply.

This move was completely unexpected, even to him.

Yu Shao couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the young man opposite him again. After thinking for a moment, he finally picked up a chess piece again and quickly placed it down.

Da da da……

Both sides continued to place their pieces, the clattering sounds echoing throughout the game. The surrounding crowd listened to the frequent moves, but simply stared blankly at the chessboard.

Both sides, black and white, moved with divine skill, almost every move was something they could never have imagined. They could only look up in awe at these brilliant and ingenious moves, and the endless tactical maneuvers.

Each move was radiant, yet they also felt unattainable, inspiring a deep-seated awe at the brilliance of this genius.

"This is... the ultimate showdown between real power and external forces..."

Someone looked bewildered, then suddenly spoke softly, muttering, "It was born... inside a small chess hall."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly felt it was somewhat absurd. After all, there are countless chess games where the battle is fought with the opponent's strength and resources, and countless masters have engaged in fierce battles using this method.

The ultimate showdown between real strength and external influence should never be born in a small chess hall on the street, but should be born in the Phoenix Cup, on the stage of the strongest chess players, under the watchful eyes of the whole world.

However, when they saw this game of chess, no one objected for a moment. Everyone remained silent, simply gazing at the crisscrossing chessboard and the two-colored pieces!
There was only silence.
