Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 22: Destroying the Demon

"Block this change?"

Seeing Yi Zheng's choice to block, Kuroki Ryuji was slightly stunned. It was obvious that if he interrupted, he could be beaten into a big-headed ghost. Would the other party give up such a comfortable choice?
Obviously, any player with some ability would find it difficult to resist the temptation of beating the opponent into a fool's state.

block.

The change is noticeable, but not significant.

“I’ve heard my brothers and others research it, but they all have different ideas.

My brother thinks it should be sticking, but Baoshu Tianyuan thinks it should be torrenting, and the other nine dans have other ideas.

Which one should I choose..."

Seeing Yi Zheng blocking the way, Kuroki Ryuji was immediately in a dilemma, because he didn't know which was the right next step.

After wasting a countdown, Kuroki Ryuji hesitated and chose to stick with it. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, his brother's judgment as the holder of the Honinbo title was definitely better than that of the man in front of him who had not yet had a professional career!

Seeing Kuroki Ryuji choose to stick, Yi Zheng nodded slightly and thought to himself, "It's indeed a bluff. He didn't calculate the subsequent changes after blocking, so he chose to stick instead of tiger."

This will result in the failure to make the best changes later.

According to Mr. Ke, the winning rate of the traditional pattern is gradually lost bit by bit.

But it was too late to regret.

Move 26, White chess, fly!

After flying down, it was completely different.

According to what Mr. Ke explained to Yi Zheng, if you choose to stay at the tiger position here, facing the flying white pieces, although the black pieces will be suppressed very low in the end, at least they can still come out, and there is a worry-free corner with black pieces on the left to provide support.

Yi Zheng still needed to make a move in the corner, but Mr. Ke chose not to make it and instead forced the opponent first, because it was difficult for the opponent to kill the corner.

Of course, this is the most expected ideal change. Kuroki Ryuji did not make a move, but chose to stick to the sword-hitting method that Mr. Ke emphasized.

Because according to Mr. Ke, a friend of his who is a professional ninth-dan player once encountered this and was speed-passed by someone else.

And today, Kuroki Ryuji also enjoyed the treatment of a ninth-level professional in another world.

When Kuroki Ryuji saw the white chess piece flying down, he instantly felt that the situation was unfavorable, but he didn't know what went wrong.

As of now, running away would be a huge loss, so I can only fight hard against the white chess piece in the corner!
As long as you kill all the opponents, you can still win!
Move 27, Black, pull!

"Hiss—is this a new change in the Heavenly Demon's transformation?! This change…"

The middle-aged man, a professional seventh-dan player, saw the changes on the chessboard and his expression changed instantly. This was a new change that he had never seen in professional competitions.

Although he couldn't tell whether this change was right or wrong at the moment, it didn't seem to be too bad. At least it was a brand new branch and had strong research potential.

If this change occurs in professional or even world competitions, everyone will feel surprised, but it is also normal, because the development of Go is always changing and innovating.

However, this change did not occur in a professional arena, but rather in a friendly rapid chess match between two non-professional children.

The most important thing is that this change did not come from Japan, the hometown of Tianmo Dahua, but was initiated by a Chinese teenager?

"Now Ryuji can only desperately kill the corner, pull it back and then support! This part is a robbery no matter how you look at it.

Fortunately, White doesn't have any good ways to prolong his energy, so Black might be more advantageous."

But with such a heavy disaster at the beginning, it won’t be long before someone collapses quickly.

"Have you seen this change?"

"never seen it."

"Can the Heavenly Demon Great Transformation be used like this?!" "It seems like they both changed their tactics at the last minute and didn't know what to do anymore, so they just guessed it."

Several young men who were striving for a chess degree around them looked at each other in bewilderment at the changes on the chessboard. If it wasn't some latest research result, they should have seen it before.

"No big deal! I might be better at killing each other!"

Although he didn't have time to calculate carefully, Kuroki Ryuji quickly flashed through his intuition and felt that he should have a slight advantage.

But the next step is completely different!

The 30th move, White chess, sharp all the way!

"This step! This step..."

After seeing this step, Kuroki Ryuji and the middle-aged man standing behind him felt like their heads exploded instantly.

A change that I never thought of!
An extremely ingenious method!
This is not a move that a non-professional player can make at all, and even most professionals may not be able to think of this move.

Baoshu, a professional 7th dan player, clenched his fists instantly. That's right, this move couldn't have been calculated instantly.

Because this step is so wonderful! And it is difficult to calculate normally!

The exquisite skill of prolonging the breath is a step derived from the current changes in the entire demon world!
At this point, Black has no good way to hold back White's Qi.

In Go, there is a saying that when the Qi runs out, the chess piece is dead.

The so-called Qi is the intersection of the empty space adjacent to the chess piece in a straight line.

In Go, an eye is a point where several connected pieces of your side surround one or two empty intersections. This point is called a "real eye", also known as a real eye, or simply an eye.

If you have two eyes, it means that the other party can never kill you. Eyes are life, and you can only live if you have eyes.

When the black and white pieces cut off and surround each other, and neither side can make two real eyes to keep the pieces alive, they must use tight control to capture the other side and save themselves.

The fact that the kid opposite was able to make this move proved that his new method of dealing with the Demonic Transformation was definitely not something he came up with on the spur of the moment, but was a premeditated research.

But how could a non-professional kid possibly come up with such a new transformation of the Heavenly Demonic Transformation?!

This new change is an extremely difficult area for professional ninth-dan players, and everyone can only grope around like a blind man touching an elephant.

Or is this kid a disciple of some 9th dan or titled professional? Is he sharing his master's research results in advance?

That’s not right either!

During the Go Master Honinbo match a few days ago, the Chinese Go Master didn’t come up with this new variation!

If it is China's latest research achievement, how could it not be displayed at this top Asian event?
The logic doesn't make sense! I feel like my head is going to explode!

The same goes for Kuroki Ryuji, because this step is not only to prolong the energy, but also to take the initiative!
However, under the pressure of the game and the countdown, Kuroki Ryuji had no way to think too much about too many changes and could only pick up the piece on the right side first.

Yi Zheng had already achieved the goal of extending his energy in the corner, and all he had to do afterwards was simply to collect his energy.

Kuroki Ryuji looked at the changes on the chessboard and had no other choice.

Rushing in to rob!

Broken jade!
