LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 448 2:0, the game is over!
From the very beginning of this game, Liao Yuanhe had always thought that Lin Ruo was being very careless, especially when he ignored Lin Ruo's constant attacks from the lower left corner.

However, it wasn't until this moment, when he encountered a bottleneck in the lower left corner, that Liao Yuanhe realized that he had actually been quite slow and hadn't fully utilized the advantage of being able to attack without reservation during this period, which made him seem somewhat restricted at this moment.

However, if he had chosen to eat small pieces from the beginning, Lin Ruo might have already retreated to defend and set up a counter-attack, so it's hard to say.

The most pressing task is to establish our leading position in the lower half of the bracket.

The upper half of the chessboard was not his, so all Liao Yuanhe could do was fight to the death in the lower half.

If the bottom half of the bracket can't be stabilized, then this game is likely over.

Subsequent events proved that Liao Yuanhe still couldn't stabilize the situation, and Lin Ruo's quick turn of events almost completely stabilized the situation in the lower left corner.

There are eye positions from the lower left to the center, and there is also a crossing zone slightly below the center. Although Black is still at a slight disadvantage on the bottom, it is simply wishful thinking for White to rush and kill Black with this slight disadvantage.

It was reasonable not to intervene at first; look at the situation now, isn't it?

Having finally gained control of the situation, Lin Ruo calmly took a sip of water, a rare moment of composure.

At this moment, Liao Yuanhe was also drinking water, but he was swallowing. He had figured out that Lin Ruo was moving in the lower left and never thought of breaking through his encirclement.

Instead, it does one thing from beginning to end: constantly increase the probability of survival, especially by increasing the number of eye positions to ensure this.

If you can stall him and make it increasingly difficult for your white pieces to kill him, that is obviously the most successful outcome, bar none.

Just like the United States was once deeply mired in the Vietnam War, it can only drag things out.

If I hold you back here, can you hold me back from above?
No, then you're doomed!

Moreover, Lin Ruo also continuously buried landmines everywhere below, leaving some potential threats. If they were triggered under certain conditions in the future, their impact would certainly be significant.

Although these potential risks may seem minor now, such as leaving a spot where an infiltrator can't survive, are they really that small? Don't forget that any slight oversight could lead to the complete reversal of the game.

Especially someone like Lin Ruo, who is best at finding loopholes to attack, if he extends the pattern from above to below, he can coordinate an attack from the inside and outside just like before.

The small hidden dangers below could erupt at any time.

This apprehension made Liao Yuanhe's expression grow increasingly serious.

He dared not gamble, but he also dared not place a bet, because Lin Ruo kept pressuring him to make a move.

How could he possibly jeopardize his overall strategy by trying to close a tiny, insignificant gap?

On the contrary, Lin Ruo, who has freed up his hands, can take the opportunity to leave the battlefield and openly expand his position above. Moreover, this expansion of the center position has a dual purpose.

Because it is closer to the bottom, it can indirectly support the weak black pieces below, adding another layer of protection to the defense below.

In the future, whatever White blocks, White will fight desperately with the first move. There is a movable piece on the top that can jump at any time, which naturally helps to open up a way out.

Liao Yuanhe, having considered this point, dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He was terrified of poverty, and now that his family finally looked somewhat wealthy, how could they just demolish his house like that?

So he decisively went up and intervened from the side, determined to cut off the black piece's connection with the area below.

Lin Ruo definitely wouldn't agree to that.

I'm going to dismantle it, I'm going to dismantle it, I'll go down and reconnect the pieces, while still retaining a bit of a counterattack capability, and I've dug a subtle trap for Liao Yuanhe.

Because as long as this piece is placed here, his subsequent jumps and cuts have a chance to penetrate the white formation below, playing a significant role.

However, that depends on the subsequent actions, but for Lin Ruo, the last thing he lacks is action.

Liao Yuanhe wanted to intervene, but he found he couldn't manage it anymore; Lin Ruo was just too good at causing trouble for him.

So, in a moment of quick thinking, Liao Yuanhe decided to move up and counter Black's large opening in the upper area.

After all, the situation above was too overwhelming, and he should have taken some action to deal with it. Otherwise, no matter how well the protection below was, he would still be doomed if attacked from both sides above.

71st move, White, two spaces jump, reducing the shape of Black's stones above as much as possible.

Black moves up to surround.

White, disregarding everything, stubbornly continued to chip away at the stones.

Lin Ruo was a little unhappy about this. "If you keep doing this, I'm going to have to beat you up."

In his view, White's two consecutive cuts were too obvious, too risky, as it was an isolated advance that ignored his warnings. Therefore, he had no choice but to take real action to punish White.

In move 73, Black moves outwards, aiming directly at the position where Black would cut off White's stones in the first move.

Finally, White reacted somewhat and retreated appropriately, deciding to concede a suitable distance to show respect for Black, the dominant force in that area.

But Lin Ruo didn't need his respect at this moment. He made his move when the time was right, directly stopping the white pieces from the side, and then, when the white pieces pointed at him, he jumped down to the lower area to capture them.

This was a backup plan that Lin Ruo had been eyeing from the very beginning. No wonder, he had found the loophole below.

He decided to thoroughly check and fill in any gaps in his brother's knowledge.

White made a bend in the board, hoping to fix the contradictions that Lin Ruo had identified before the game ended.

Lin Ruo only had one thing to say to this: "You wish."

Don't forget that his black stones below are the ones that should be attacked. Lin Ruo dared to attack at this moment because, firstly, the two supporting stones above provided him with strong protection; secondly, the vulnerability discovered by the jump capture in this area could not be repaired in one move, so he dared to attack.

If it could be fixed in one step, wouldn't he be walking into the lion's den?

Are you kidding me? Do you really think the great Forest God would do something so incredibly stupid?

Of course, it's NoNoNo. I'll say it three times because it's important.

Lin Ruo's idea was actually quite simple: the hard cloth could still patch up the wound to about 70-80%, but wasn't his goal to repair the broken section below?

The so-called "jump attack" is actually just a feint; its real effect is far more significant than simply threatening the breach below.

...

As Lin Ruo picked up the chess piece again, she felt a completely different energy and spirit throughout her body.

Because this move will completely determine the course of the game.

The seventy-ninth move, the upper part is cut off.

Black's swift move lands not far above the jumping piece, its main purpose being to block the only white piece in the lower left area that could make contact with the upper area.

This cut, combined with the jump capture and subsequent blocking of the white stones below, left the three white stones that had just been cut up in a completely isolated and helpless situation.

Nearby, the black stones were surrounded from all sides, and far away, the white stones were unable to provide any support. There was no doubt that a white stone had become a meal in Lin Ruo's belly, just waiting for him to open his blood-red maw.

The situation changed immediately.

Liao Yuanhe looked helplessly at the chessboard, and couldn't help but swallow hard. If the three white pieces at the top were to disappear, wouldn't he have lost two-thirds of his vast territory?

This move—or rather, both moves—dealt with him quite deeply.

The reason he didn't think of such a clever feint was mainly because Lin Ruo had actually discovered the most vulnerable gap below him.

This made Liao Yuanhe's first thought to block it as soon as possible. The area below was his last stronghold, and he absolutely could not allow any other problems to occur.

This is why, with his mind completely blank, he completely ignored any other actions Lin Ruo might take.

So who could have guessed that the black stone that jumped down to capture him was both to attract his attention and to block the white stones below him?

Seeing Lin Ruo's habitual smile, he knew in advance that he was probably doomed.

The final result was that this move was truly fatal, directly causing White to lose a large group of stones in the upper area.

What's even more terrifying is that Lin Ruo, determined to wipe them out, launched a fierce attack on the few remaining white pieces in the upper left corner without holding back.

This is a style that is determined to eliminate all the remnants of the party above, leaving absolutely no room for maneuver.

That's incredibly brutal.

This made Liao Yuanhe, who was already struggling to move, play his pieces at an increasingly slower pace.

He can't afford to make even the slightest mistake, which is exactly what makes him want to win. However, the situation at the bottom isn't as easy to sweep away as it is at the top in just a few moves.

Just like the gold and silver treasures that couldn't be taken with them when the city fell, Liao Yuanhe could only look at the vast treasure below and complain most of the time.

Lin Ruoke wouldn't give him any chance to be swallowed up by a whole bunch of people.

The bigger problem was that after a hundred moves on both sides, Liao Yuanhe's side started the countdown first.

He had used up his time for extensive thinking; everything had been consumed by figuring out how to save the area above from falling.

Now every move he makes has to be made within a one-minute countdown period, and exceeding the time limit results in an immediate loss.

Hearing the death knell in his ears, Liao Yuanhe couldn't help but think of that meme.

There are three great illusions in life: your phone vibrates, you can turn the tables, and she likes you.

Having established an advantage, he genuinely believed he could turn the tables on Lin Ruo and was even looking forward to the third game the following day.

The results showed that this illusion was far too great.

Well, it only lasted a short time; it only lasted less than half an hour before he was brought back to reality.

The tiny glimmer of hope that ignited in my heart felt as empty as nothing at all.

How to do?How to do?
Faced with the complex situation to be dealt with, Liao Yuanhe aged a hundred years overnight due to the pressure of time and strategic maneuvering.

This age group is clearly at the point where it's time to put the coffin lid on.

He wouldn't dare let Lin Ruo cover him now. With a huge swarm of black chess pieces coming down from above, he'd probably be stripped naked before he could be put in his coffin.

Such a death would be too humiliating, so even though it was only the 109th move.

In order to save himself from being slaughtered, Liao Yuanhe was forced to choose to end his life with dignity.

Let's order it, then everyone's happy.
