She's really in trouble! (Ding)

Chapter 227: Yinzi under too much pressure, the turning point in a desperate situation!

For Kong Yinzi, the current situation is quite difficult.

Before coming here, she wasn't entirely confident about her performance in today's match.

After all, her opponent was a professional Go player who had been famous for several years. In any case, on the surface, her qualifications and experience were far inferior to her opponent's.

Therefore, she did not intend to win this competition.

She felt that all she needed to do was give it her all and perform to the best of her ability...

……

……

……

It should be like this.

But her inner conviction might be even stronger than she imagined.

The pressure was greater than outsiders and even she herself imagined.

Aunt Ashina's imposing aura, and the expectant gazes of the others, all suggested that she would win...

However, these were all fine, since they were her source of motivation and actually gave her some support.

But when the reporters and audience members arrived at the venue today, their gazes were different.

Yesterday, everyone was still paying attention to "253" and hoping that she could become the first female professional Go player.

But today, everyone's attention is focused on the master, on this hero who may be quietly "saving the world"...

Of course, she wasn't envious, because she herself was one of them, and had been dreaming about it for many years.

What she cared about was that she couldn't afford to lose this time.

Because she lost this time, she not only lost face and their trust in her, but also embarrassed her master!

As such a great hero, the disciples he taught were so useless!

Although the master himself probably wouldn't really care about such "small things," it's because he's very easygoing.

However, that doesn't mean she can embarrass her master!

The master's identity has probably been exposed by now.

Her hearing was several times more sensitive than that of an average person, and the exclamations outside must have been as sharp.

Before he arrived, the master had actually said that he was going to reveal his identity.

Keeping it a secret will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and he hates people like that the most.

No matter what, she has to win this match!

There can be absolutely no mistakes!

Because of this mentality, she was very careful to defend from the very beginning of the game, guarding against all kinds of attacks.

This kind of thinking is actually good in normal times.

Yinzi has always been good at offense but relatively weak in defense. Even when facing Baiye, she often takes the initiative to attack.

...Of course, it's not that Bai Ye isn't good at attacking; he simply lets Yin Zi attack first, and then launches a surprise counterattack in an instant.

Therefore, Yinzi is not very good at this kind of defensive tactic.

She still needs to do more research in this area.

But now we're in a crucial match, so there's no opportunity for her to do that kind of research.

Facing prey stronger than oneself, laying down one's weapons and attacking with bare hands is simply suicide!

My opponent isn't stupid either; on the contrary, he's a professional Go player!

At first, he thought it might be a money trap or something, after all, the girl's performance yesterday had really surprised him.

Although he wasn't sure he would lose, he felt the odds were only about 50/50, which put him under tremendous pressure.

But today, the girl reversed her offensive stance from yesterday and started to defend, and her defense was not very good in many places.

After one or two attempts, he realized that his opponent had not had time to defend against him, and he then launched a fierce attack!

He's under a lot of pressure too. Even if he loses, he'll still be able to leave his mark on history.

And unfortunately, this name is quite unlucky; he doesn't want to become a celebrity in this area!

So he launched a series of attacks, while Silver was forced into a completely passive defense.

She was never good at this, and now that she was being attacked by a professional Go player, she naturally couldn't withstand it at all.

One, two, three, four, five...

One by one, the chess pieces began to disappear, and Yinzi's mood grew increasingly agitated.

Even though she knew she was in a bad state, the multiple pressures made it impossible for her to perform at her best.

What troubled her even more was that her mentor only said "Good luck" to her today, but didn't pat her head as usual...

Although she's not a child anymore, she certainly wouldn't feel happy about such things.

But does this mean that the coach never actually expected her to win from the beginning?

Is she confident in her chances of winning, or does she think it's okay if she loses?

Or……

Actually, the master doesn't care at all?

Thinking about it made her feel increasingly uncomfortable, and she became more distracted and irritable while playing chess.

No, no, no.

If things continue like this, we're bound to lose.

However, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

Does this mean we can only lose this time?

Master, what should I do...?

……

……

……

Ok?

This game of chess?

How does it feel...

Why does this look so familiar?

Yinzi, who was originally lost in endless despair, suddenly paused just before placing the chess piece, and then his eyes widened involuntarily.

She remembered that game of chess.

It's not exactly the same, but it feels very familiar, both in the arrangement of the pieces and the current situation.

However, unlike last time, when she was on the offensive!

She had a deep impression of that game because she was in a position of absolute advantage. She had never felt victory so close before, and she had even captured almost all of her master's pieces...

Of course, they were still defeated in return.

At the time, she felt that the gap between her and her master's skills was too big, so she was quite frustrated.

But that time, her master praised her, saying that if she had paid attention to that point and been more careful, she would have been able to win.

Well, let's put aside the difference in skill level. It's not that the stronger person will always win. If I were put in a dead end, I wouldn't be able to win either.

Although Ginko-chan is very good at attacking, once she starts defending, the game becomes chaotic, and she can easily be invaded and her territory is breached. If she can't defeat her opponent in one go, it's easy for the game to turn around.

Remember, a weapon that isn't sharp enough won't be lethal, and since your opponent has laid down their weapon, why don't you try it out?

……

……

……

So that's how it is. Master had anticipated this step all along.

If she plays with a normal mindset, she should have a good chance of winning, so there's no need to worry too much.

But in shogi, how can you guarantee a certain level of composure in a game?

So, Master had anticipated this situation, which is why he deliberately let her have such a miserable start...

Really~

She would have understood if I had just said it directly, but I had to beat around the bush like this, and only now am I being made clear.

In that case, let's give it a try!

Fifth, 1.2 pieces are sacrificed.

The sixth and seventh followed closely behind.

Her opponent looked surprised; did he think she had given up on herself?

Yes, that's certainly how it seems to most people.

Because that's what she thought back then too.

However, although this game is different from the one before, she has just found the only breakthrough!

This is it!!!
