The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"Oriole chasing butterfly" is a Go term, often used to counter a two-pronged attack on the second line. The key is to place the attack on the first line; it's a rather unique killing move, also known as "scooping the moon from the sea."

On February 9, 2006, the fourth match of the China-Korea Go Tournament was held in Gangwon Province, South Korea. Chen Yaoye, a 16-year-old 5-dan player from the Chinese team, who had won the previous two matches, played black against Ahn Jo-young, a 9-dan player from the South Korean team.

In the game, Chen Yaoye chose an uncommon variation in the battle in the upper left corner, which resulted in a great loss. From then on, Black's position was in a state of struggling to hold on.

Left with no other option, Chen Yaoye chose to engage in a large-scale attack with White. During the attack, Chen unleashed his famous killing move, "The Nightingale Chasing the Butterfly," as shown in the diagram:

The final result of this game was a victory for White in the middle game. Although Xiao Chen lost, he made the classic killing move "Oriole Chasing Butterfly" in ancient Chinese Go known to many Go players, which is a meritorious deed.

Chapter 20: Using Momentum to Break Momentum

What's the situation? Although Ji Yingting is the captain of Minghai Ji Middle School, I don't know her exact strength yet... Qi Yue looked down and observed the chessboard.

"Wait!! How is this possible?! How could Black be so far behind?!"

A few seconds later, Qi Yue stared in shock at her purple eyes. Her small hand trembled, and the slippery popsicle, along with her saliva, accidentally fell into Ji Yingting's long, bluish-green hair.

"Whoa!" Ji Yingting exclaimed softly, struggling to pull out the popsicle with a large puddle of water from her blue hair. The icy water made her shiver.

Then, she angrily threw the popsicle into the trash can next to her, and shook her long, light green hair, using her two huge pigtails to slap Qi Yue's face repeatedly.

"Waaaaaah, I was wrong!" Qi Yue dodged the twin ponytail attack, carefully wiping Ji Yingting's hair with a tissue before turning around to resume the game.

"This kid is really good. He's probably at the amateur 5-dan level. Is he planning to become a professional Go player?"

Ji Yingting slowly opened her pale green eyes. The moonlight shone on the chessboard, making it as beautiful as a firefly's diamond, with faint fireflies shimmering in the starry sky.

Here, her pupils were a different color than usual...

"pat"

Oh? He made this move because he wanted to forcefully kill my Baron? That's a bit too much, isn't it?

Ji Yingting lowered her head.

Wang Jun's move was a classic case of putting his own pieces on the ground, attempting to forcibly block the white pieces' path to the center of the board, but he didn't even have any pieces alive yet... It was full of flaws.

A child who is simply unreasonable and argumentative is not a good child!

Ji Yingting put down the white piece after only a brief moment of thought.

Although it's difficult to succeed, as long as a fight breaks out, that's enough...

Wang Jun thought to himself, when suddenly his right hand was bound by a black chain, and a black piece, like a storm of black smoke, fell onto the chessboard.

A blurry black figure appeared, dressed in a purple robe, and a hideous arm slowly pierced Ji Yingting's heart.

"Ah!! What is this thing! How scary!" Ji Yingting looked terrified.

But! I feel like I've seen this somewhere before? It smells so familiar!!

Ji Yingting tilted her head, and with her right hand, which was resting flat on her knee, she slightly raised it and reached into the chess box to gently pick out a white piece.

"That seems to be the feeling, right!?"

Wang Jun looked up, but the moment he saw the scales, he froze. The scales were visibly tipping towards Ji Yingting's side! How could this be?!

Before he knew it, Wang Jun found himself in a vast Milky Way starry sky, with a stunningly beautiful girl with long, light green hair sitting opposite him.

As the stunningly beautiful girl before him slowly raised her right hand, he saw Ji Yingting's breathtakingly beautiful, moonlit eyes.

Snap! Under the pale green moonlight, the entire starry chessboard was fully revealed.

In the universe, a super-giant comet, comparable in size to Earth, transformed into a beam of meteor. The shockwave collided in an instant, and a violent fluctuation came from the chessboard.

boom!!!

The chains binding the chessboard vibrated wildly. Under the vast starry sky, it seemed insignificant, as it could only bind a small part of Earth.

Boom! Another meteor fell, its dazzling light causing the earth to tremble. Heaven and earth were separated, and the white sparks vanished in an instant.

The chains were completely destroyed by the impact of the meteor, and Wang Jun's chess moves vanished in a puff of black smoke.

While she was engrossed in playing chess and not paying attention, Qi Yue, who had been resting her chin on Ji Yingting's head, widened her eyes slightly, shocked beyond words.

"Too strong... She actually escaped Wang Jun's 'suppression' so easily with just one 'touch', what a brilliant move! Just now, no matter which side Wang Jun moved to, she would have chosen to jump out from the other side!"

"Sakuraba is really amazing. She actually defeated the terrifyingly strong Wang Jun so decisively." Qi Yue took a tissue and gently cleaned Ji Sakuraba's hair strand by strand. She looked at the chessboard, slightly lost in thought.

**********************

"I give up, thank you."

Wang Jun's hands trembled slightly, then he lowered his head. He was shocked by Ji Yingting's power; it was power that could completely crush him! Moreover, she seemed to be completely unserious!

The fact that Black failed to kill White's stones just now already sealed Wang Jun's fate. The difference in territory was simply too great, not to mention that White had 7 komi points, leaving him with absolutely no chance of winning.

"Excuse me, could you briefly review the entire play? There are some parts I'd like to watch again."

Wang Jun requested, showing a slight degree of humility towards everyone except Lian Hezhou.

Especially Ji Yingting, who was able to suppress him like this even in the planning stage...

"Okay, but Qi Yue, you've made my head hurt."

Ji Yingting pushed Qi Yue's chin away uncomfortably, rubbed her long, light green hair, and tidied her hair.

“Look here, you made a huge mistake!!! As soon as I squeezed you, you rushed inside me,” Ji Yingting said, rubbing her green twin ponytails.

"Ugh!!!!!" Wang Jun nodded seriously, but Qi Yue, who was standing around the chessboard, suddenly exclaimed, as if she had misunderstood something.

"Clip it in!?" Qi Yue pondered the profound meaning of the phrase, her cheeks slightly flushed beneath her purple bangs.

Ji Yingting then began setting up the pieces. "Although you've occupied the corner, I've enclosed the entire side. Your next move is even more problematic... In this situation, you should just play 3-3. You might as well just give me the side."

"You're right, I was too eager to break through, but you never intended to kill me. Instead, you used your attacks on my pieces to solidify your own territory on both sides. That's how I started to fall behind in points."

Let's continue with the review.

Wang Jun hadn't paid much attention during the game, but after reviewing it, he suddenly realized that Ji Yingting's board positions were incredibly beautiful, yet remarkably aggressive. This couldn't possibly be a typical amateur 5-dan; she definitely possessed the skill of a professional player!

What's even more outrageous is that her move, like a falling meteor or a bombarding comet, easily shattered her prized "Judgment Scales".

Her chess moves... were terrifyingly powerful.

Chapter 21: Ji Yingting's Preaching

Her attack, like a falling meteor or a bombarding comet, easily shattered her prized "Judgment Scales".

Her chess moves... were terrifyingly powerful.

"Hello, is this the training location for the Go club?" Just then, a few scattered figures walked in.

"Yuqu Middle School?" Qi Yue asked in a low voice.

Schools with mediocre performance each year are perfect for sparring partners. They can not only help improve the players' skills and serve as stepping stones, but also prevent opponents from analyzing their strategies.

The first day of training camp has finally come to an end. Minghaiji lost to Ziyuan Middle School with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses, while Bailu Middle School had a record of 3 wins and 2 losses against the newly arrived Yuqu Middle School.

Qi Yue lost to Ji Yingting without any suspense, but when she saw Ji Yingting's terrifying chess skills when she played against Wang Jun, she felt relieved. She realized she still needed to work harder!

Stepping out of the elevator, Ji Yingting grabbed her constantly swaying light green twin ponytails to keep them from swinging around, then carefully walked back to her room, hugging the wall.

I have to say, this new-era assistive device, the gravity boot, is incredibly useful!! It completely eliminates the need for canes and guide dogs, making walking very stable.

"Splash splash splash splash"

As soon as Ji Yingting pushed open the door, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. Was Wang Murou taking a shower?

"Is Rou Rou taking a bath? I want to take a bath too."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing her stockings against her brown cloth boots, Ji Yingting pushed open the bathroom door.

She let her long, light green hair fall down to her hips, and while sitting on the toilet, she slowly took off her white lace pleated skirt and sky-blue school uniform.

Finally, she removed her white over-the-knee stockings and Wang Murou's underwear. This time, she was careful not to let her underwear fall into the toilet again... So tomorrow she really would have to go out without underwear!!

"Sakuraba? Are you going to shower with me too?" Wang Murou looked up and saw the light green figure who had just pulled back the curtain.

"Um"

With a soft response, Ji Yingting stepped her fair, delicate feet into the tub, sinking her entire body into the warm bathtub along with her long, turquoise hair.

"Ouch! Your foot is on my chest!" Wang Murou struggled to emerge from the water.

Upon hearing what Wang Murou said, Ji Yingting realized that her feet had stepped on something soft, and she quickly rolled and swam to the corner of the bathtub.

"Phew, that feels so good... By the way, Rou Rou, you were making strange noises in the room at noon, were you masturbating?"

"Ah!!! How did you know that?! No! How do you know about this?! Have you done it before?!" Wang Murou's long black hair was scattered in the water as she exclaimed and covered her mouth.

Ji Yingting immediately shook her long, light green hair and objected!

"Masturbation...!! Of course I've never done something so shameful!! It's just that your moans [ahh ...

"Well……!"

After Ji Yingting revealed the truth, Wang Murou covered her face with her hands, and in an awkward atmosphere, squatted down and sank into the water.

Waaaaah, it's impossible to hide it now! Seriously, from which weird video did she see this stuff?!

"Girls aren't allowed to do this kind of thing! Do you understand, Wang! Mu! Rou!!" Ji Yingting grabbed Wang Mu Rou's small hand from the water and began her serious lecturing.

"Okay, okay, I understand!!" Wang Murou turned her head behind her.

"Wait!! Tell me, what do you know! Don't try to fool me!" Ji Yingting gripped Wang Murou's hands even tighter.

"I will never do that again!"

Ji Yingting pressed further, "Which kind? You just said you wouldn't do that kind of thing again?"

"It's...that kind of..."

"Which one is it!?"

"It's the kind you're talking about!!"
