finally!!
It's the 207th turn.
The initiative once again fell into the hands of Shinobu Hiroshi.
However, this time, Shinobu Daishi stared at the chessboard, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his forehead, and remained motionless for a long time.
"Shinobu Daishi 9-dan is about to exceed the time limit."
Referee Sumito Sakari slightly concealed the shock in his eyes, spoke up to remind the referee, and pressed the timer to start the countdown.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Just as the timer was about to run out.
"Hey~!"
Shinobu Daishi sighed deeply, picked up his central king from the chessboard, and tossed it into the air.
Jingle!
The chess piece landed back on the board with a crisp, clear sound.
"I lost."
Shinobu Daishi sighed softly.
All the professional 8th Dan players in the room were simultaneously shocked!
Luo Chen, who was opposite Shinobu Daishi, stood up with a smile, gave a simple bow, and said in a senior's manner, "Thank you for your mercy, senior."
This is inside the chess room.
As for outside the chess room?
crazy!
This is absolutely insane!
The moment Shinobu Daishi tossed the jade into the air, a cacophony of controversy erupted, accompanied by a change in the expressions of countless people.
"What is Lord Shinobu Daishi doing?"
"Touzi?"
"What the hell? Why would Lord Shinobu Daishi concede defeat?"
"The game isn't over yet!"
"They played over 200 moves in the early game, but didn't even make a single move in the middle game, and they didn't lose a single piece. Are you telling me that 9A lost just like that?"
"This is a shady deal! This is a shady deal!"
“I can’t accept this!!”
"I bet 500 million yen on Lord Shinonaku Taishi! Lord Shinonaku Taishi, what are you doing?"
"What exactly happened?"
"..."
The noise was deafening!
The entire Chess Club was in an uproar, as if a storm had struck and the roof was about to be blown off by the heated discussion.
No one could accept the defeat of the 9A players. Of course, what they found even more unacceptable was the bizarre way Shinobu Taishi lost!
Unexpectedly!
Of course, it was also unprecedented.
However, the two commentators in the commentary booth, Kenta Kujikawa and Mitsuru Ikuishi, remained surprisingly calm about this.
Upon noticing this, many people turned their attention to them, eager to find the answer from the two of them.
Some people even shouted, "Lord Ikuishi Mitsuru, Lord Kujigawa, why?!"
Chapter 400: This is probably not a new epic!
"Kujikawa-senpai."
In the commentary booth, Mitsuru Ikushi exclaimed, looking somewhat helpless, "Shinobu's loss in this match is probably the most difficult pain for most older Go players to heal."
Kenta Kujigawa nodded slightly and said bitterly, "Yes, physical strength is the biggest obstacle for older Go players like us."
While Shinobu is indeed much younger than me, she is still over fifty years old.
At this age, physical strength, calculation ability, and so on are declining rapidly, and Shinonome's talent and abilities are most dependent on these for interpretation and extension.
Thus, after more than 200 moves of frantic over-interpretation, Shinobu had likely already reached his limit... Therefore, his resignation now wasn't because Shinobu didn't want to win, but simply because he lacked the strength to continue.
This statement can be described as an extremely clear and concise analysis.
It's settled.
The entire Chess Club was completely different from before; there was no more noise, only utter silence.
Because, in addition to Kenta Kujigawa's explanation, they also witnessed Shinobu Taishi in the AI projection stagger when he got up.
If it weren't for Sakari Sumito's timely support, she would have almost fallen.
This shows how severely Shinonoku Daishi's physical strength was exhausted during this game, which involved a 200-plus-move stalemate in the early stages.
Meanwhile, instead of discussing why Shinobu Daishi threw the ball, people started talking about another topic.
Luo Chen, an eighth-dan player, just how strong is he?
"He really defeated the 9A soldiers!"
"Compared to the last time, it was even more shocking for Shen Guobu Meng to defeat Bai Yi Mingren online, after all, Luo Chen 8-dan fought an offline match."
"The young master of Adachi Ward... the devilish young master of the Go world, the forbidden blood devil! This guy is insane!"
"No matter what, I can't believe that he actually defeated Lord Shinobu Daishi in this way today. It's really too hard to believe."
"As Lord Ikushi Mitsuru said before, the overall strategy of the Myriad Forms Heavenly Net is unsolvable, and it relies entirely on its own unsolvable interpretation and extension of layers... Yet, 8th Dan Luo Chen defeated Lord Shinokawa Daishi in this regard!!"
"So, although Luo Chen is so young, his ability to interpret and extend his skills is already not much lower than that of Senior Shinobu Daishi?"
"unbelievable!!"
"Is he perhaps a real monster?"
"It's terrifying, unimaginable!"
"So strong it's despair-inducing! He's only seventeen years old, yet he already possesses such skill in Go!"
"The last time a young player amazed me like this was when Kuzuryu Yaichi was born. However, the current Luo Chen 8-dan has clearly surpassed the amazement that Kuzuryu Yaichi brought to the Go world back then!"
"Young Master is awesome!!"
"That's right! Charge!!"
Amidst the numerous discussions and amazement, naturally, many Kansai Go fans loudly proclaimed their continued support for Luo Chen.
For no other reason than the powerful rook-flying move in the second round, Luo Chen was enough to win the support of the Kansai Go fans.
Of course, such voices were met with rebuttals, with disgruntled shouts echoing, "What are you thinking? The elimination rounds aren't even over yet and you're already thinking about the Celebrity title? Lord Shinobu Daishi hasn't truly lost this match yet!"
That's right.
In the Celebrity Tournament, the knockout stage is a best-of-three format, meaning that Luo Chen needs to win at least two games against Shinobu Taishi to truly advance.
But, having said that.
Many people, however, are also thinking about another question.
That is.
Will Shinobu Daishi be able to recover his energy this afternoon?
The best-of-three knockout stage doesn't involve one game a day; instead, it's played consecutively, in the morning, afternoon, and the following morning!
Nowadays, Shinobu Daishi's match has pushed him to the point where he's almost fainting.
Who knows if he'll be able to recover by this afternoon?
Upon hearing this thought, many people were startled, a chill running down their spines, and they thought with a sense of dread...
If Shinobu Taishi doesn't recover by this afternoon, wouldn't that mean that Luo Chen 8-dan will win directly?
Asking for flowers
17 years old!
Three months!
Before even reaching the professional ranking, he rose to the eighth dan, and then defeated a ninth-dan A player in the best-of-three elimination round of the Meijin Tournament!
Such a glorious record... isn't it unsolvable?
Countless people were speechless!
