Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

Akira Toya, standing behind him, remained silent and did not participate in the discussion.

"It broke again... My white piece was clearly locked in combat with him in the left star position, so why did it suddenly launch an attack near the small eye position?"

Sweat beaded on Akira Touya's forehead as he stared intently at the game.

"It's too chaotic... With one piece placed to the left and one to the right, I have no idea where to defend, and it feels like there are holes everywhere... Is his computing power really that terrifying? Even with such a scattered board position, he can still attack and defend in a measured way, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner?"

"This is terrifying... It's as if he has already seen through every move I make... Can I beat him?"

Akira Touya remained silent as he continued placing his pieces, trying to stop Su Ran's offensive.

“Here, I need to make two true eyes… otherwise, this piece of power will be forced to its death. And here, the energy must be released here…”

Akira Touya was under immense pressure, anxiously calculating his next move.

"If I have two true eyes, I can survive, and I can win this game!"

Su Ran sacrificed seven points of his black pieces in exchange for a speed advantage, and launched a series of attacks from all directions.

Gradually, Akira Touya felt increasingly overwhelmed by the constant running around dealing with the situation.

Star position...

Small eyes...

Midsection...

There's also a key town on the right flank!

Here, we must stop Black's expansion in every area; we absolutely, absolutely cannot let him break through...

Each move Su Ran made was like a giant python shrinking, tightly coiling around Ta Yiliang.

……

Chapter Thirty: The Decisive Strike from High-Level Experts! The Unwavering Confidence of Touya Kouyo!

"clatter"!

Su Ran then placed another piece.

now.

The seven-point deficit that Black lost to White just now is almost recovered by Su Ran!

"Let me think, where should we go next..."

Recalling the moves in the simulated environment, Su Ran made her move after a moment.

The sixth column, three rows.

立！

Upon seeing Su Ran's move, Akira Touya's face turned even paler.

"If I could make two real eyes, I could win! But, but, could I really make those two eyes? It seems he's already figured out my idea of ​​secretly making fake eyes."

"No, it's impossible. How can he... Su Ran be so powerful?"

Akira Touya fell into deep thought again, gently biting his lower lip.

Su Ran, who was sitting opposite him, was calmly looking at the chessboard.

He could feel the vitality emanating from Akira Touya's Go stones.

Each white piece that falls gives the white piece, like a fierce tiger, a breath of life, allowing it to lie dormant in the dense forest, ready to pounce at any moment.

Su Ran felt the tiger's lifelike power and fell silent.

Akira Touya has already exceeded his expectations in holding on until now.

Akira Touya's dedication to Go deeply moved Su Ran.

Time ticked away.

Sai couldn't bear to see Akira's appearance, so he covered his lips with his folding fan and gently closed his eyes.

"Doubt, pain, bitterness, despair... you really have to go through so much on the road to becoming a top chess player."

“Sai…”

Hikaru Shindo stared blankly at Sai, who was floating in mid-air.

He remembered what Sai had just told him.

Sai said that being a Go player is a very long road, so long that many people never see the end of it in their entire lives.

Hikaru Shindo seemed to understand something.

"Hikaru, this boy named Akira Touya is very confused. Facing a powerful opponent, he must feel terrible. That feeling of being inferior to others must be really painful."

Sai suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood quietly behind Su Ran, looking at Touya Akira, whose face was pale and whose body was trembling.

"However, this is the only way to become a chess player. No matter how strong the opponent, a chess player must face the challenge head-on!"

"People who love Go are even more afraid of having no opponents."

"Young man named Akira Touya, step forward."

"Break free from the pressure of that fear, and you still have the advantage you had with the grapes. You still have hope against this boy's attack."

"Don't let the desire to win or lose blind you."

"Did you see that move... Akira Touya?"

"There are other ways."

"If you continue like this, Akira Touya, you will lose even more thoroughly than last time."

"This boy named Su Ran has already qualified to comprehend the Divine Hand. Akira Touya, all you need to do is survive!"

"Live over this boy, not win!"

"Did you see that, Akira Touya?"

Sai stared intently at Akira Touya.

He knew that the overwhelming advantage that Touya Akira had just gained had made him somewhat lose his way.

"If all of this was also part of this boy named Su Ran's plan, then he is truly terrifying."

……

This time, Akira Touya spent a full ten minutes in deep thought.

During this time, there will be no more topics for you to discuss.

Finally, Akira Touya's slightly trembling hand pulled the stone from the box. He took a deep breath and gently placed the stone.

As the chess piece fell, his strength seemed to be drained, and he slumped into the chair.

The eighth row and the twelfth column.

"Xiao Liang, what's this...?"

"Xiao Liang is not going to get his eyes done... He has finally made up his mind and made the choice to abandon his pawn."

"Ah, yes, if one person holds onto this position, it's impossible to drive out the black pieces."

"Hesitation will only lead to chaos. If you continue to defend every place, the entire position of the white pieces will be thrown into disarray!"

"Yes, Xiao Liang must have seen through these things, which is why he gave up some of the cities."

“During that long period of deliberation, Xiao Liang must have felt a lot of resentment; it was such a difficult decision…”

"Sigh, there's no other way. At this point, we have to give up the advantage of the 'Grapes' (a metaphor for the advantage), otherwise the heavy troops that both sides have invested here will be completely exhausted."

"That's the only way. Only by giving up some advantages can we create an opportunity for both sides to coexist in the struggle for this land."

"You must be very unwilling... Xiao Liang, right now..."

"This young man from China named Su Ran is truly skilled in chess; I am completely convinced."

"From this point on, the two sides should be evenly matched again, right?"

"Yeah, that's why I said that hand twitch is still bad, otherwise, Xiao Liang should have given up long ago."

"Su Ran is still young, so it's acceptable for her to make mistakes occasionally. It's just a pity that she wasted such a great opportunity at the beginning."

"But his ability to turn the tide from a disadvantageous position is already far beyond what ordinary people can achieve..."

"So, how should this young man from China deal with Xiao Liang, who has now calmed down?"

"I think it should be a break. A break here would be just right, so that both black and white pieces can coexist."

"It should be cut off."

Su Ran remained unmoved by praise or criticism, ignoring all the discussions.

In his mind, the results of the simulation just now reappeared one by one like a slideshow.

"Next, the fourth column of the five elements, Gao Mu?"

The position in the fourth column and fifth row on the chessboard is called the high point.

Su Ran stroked the smooth chess piece, gently lifted it, and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, gently placed it down.

Hey.

The black piece landed on a point on the board, as if stirring up ripples in a calm river.

An invisible aura emanated from Su Ran, soaring into the sky and enveloping the entire quiet chess room.

The room fell silent.

A moment later, someone's eyes widened.

"High, high eyes?"

"This...it seems, it seems..."

"Brilliant! I... I didn't see that move."

"My God, there's actually this step!"
