The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

After all, how could an ordinary player be willing to study the world's most difficult opening moves before becoming a professional player?

That's right, the Great Oblique, or Great Oblique Thousand Changes for short, is as complex and varied as a book several hundred pages long.

"The Great Oblique Thousand Changes, this is the first time I've seen this fixed pattern in actual combat!!" In an instant, Li Le felt his scalp begin to tingle. Judging from Ji Yingting's expression, she was definitely not joking.

"What should I do...? Which way should I go next? I've never seen this thing before." The boy with gray spiky hair gritted his teeth slightly. He shouldn't have gotten hurt so easily.

Da Xie... Zhou Quan, who was watching from the sidelines, was slightly taken aback. This girl shouldn't be a beginner, right?

Of course, it's also possible that she was making random moves, since many online chess players like to use strange tactics, even though they haven't actually studied them.

Since neither side understands it, who wins and who loses depends entirely on luck.

"And on the other side?" Zhou Quan's gaze turned to the girl with long, snow-white hair sitting next to Ji Yingting. Her arm gently slipped through the snow-white sleeve and landed on the chessboard.

The Demon Blade!! She actually played the Demon Blade!?? Facing the black piece's corner approach, Luo Qiu'er, playing white, actually played the Demon Blade move without hesitation.

"Demon Blade?" The short boy with a red mushroom haircut was slightly taken aback. Although Demon Blade was quite common in amateur competitions, there weren't many people who liked to use it anymore.

After all, the space occupied by a single Demon Blade opening is too large and too complex. Once this opening is finished... almost the entire board will be filled.

Therefore, this kind of super-large fixed pattern has gradually begun to decline. Of course, only someone who is very confident in their ability to fight back would play it this way.

Snap... With her long, pink, pear-shaped hair cascading down her back, Hua Shenxi also placed a chess piece.

Of the five, she had the most spectators, after all, she had just mentioned that her cousin, an amateur second-dan player, had taught her a trick.

Although an amateur second dan is just a joke in the eyes of many people, it is considered a master to this group of old men in the chess hall.

A massive avalanche!? After seeing the chess piece that Hua Shenxi had placed, Zhou Quan's expression turned slightly strange. What did that mean...? What were they planning to do?

The Great Avalanche is similar to the Demon Blade; it is simply too complex, so few people understand it.

How could this be... that the Great Avalanche and the Demon Blade appeared simultaneously in a team battle along with the Great Diagonal Thousand Changes? He actually had the good fortune to see the three most complex opening sequences in the Go world in one day.

Unless they are a group of people who don't see their opponents as obstacles at all!! They don't take their opponents seriously at all!! They want to... crush their opponents with the very first opening move.

In an instant, endless cold sweat slid down Zhou Quan's face, despite his calculation ability and chess skills being far superior to his opponent's...

Using complex patterns, it is easy to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

"However, Xin Yufei is playing a standard double-gun opening move; I really don't know her skill level."

After glancing at the only person he recognized, Zhou Quan's gaze shifted to the girl with long orange hair.

Huh? Instantly, his pupils contracted sharply.

But! It wasn't just him; even his opponent with the black twin ponytails was stunned, and many elderly people watching the game also looked puzzled.

What is this "shoulder-hitting" move where the white stone makes a small knight's move to the corner (star point)? Is it a new type of deceptive move?

By the way, is there such a standard opening in Go? No... I should say, are there people in the world who play Go like this?

Perhaps due to the rapid development of Go, some of the ancient Go scores that were once preserved on Earth were lost after arriving on the Moon.

However, if Ji Yingting saw this move, she would definitely be able to recognize it.

This is... an ancient style, an inverted curtain!

Chapter 250: Ji Yingting's Giant Slanted Flying Knife [4000 words]

"What is this..." The girl with long black twin ponytails was slightly taken aback. Facing her own small knight's move, the black piece was a shoulder hit.

This move is called the "inverted lotus," and it's rarely seen even in modern times, let alone on the moon.

After all, the game record for this move has been lost, so it's normal that modern players don't understand it.

As an ancient standard opening, the inverted lotus pattern was initially a relatively simple and basic chess shape... However, as the ancients continued to study it, its complexity became almost comparable to the thousand variations of the large diagonal.

However, no matter how she thought about it, the shape of this move was too strange. At least, she, sitting opposite Shang Liuliu, felt that this was not a good move.

"She's definitely a beginner... She doesn't even know the basic opening moves, but her board position is a little strange."

After hesitating for a moment, the girl with long black twin ponytails picked up a white chess piece.

Clearly, upon seeing the Black's shoulder-hit formation, her first reaction was to cut it off directly.

"Point 33? No... let's just break through."

For the small knight's move at the white star point, the black shoulder hit forms an inverted lotus shape, after which the white's cut is almost inevitable, which is the root of its complexity and variability.

Compared to the star point in the corner, the white stones in the small knight's move are far from the corner. If they don't play the 3-3 point, it will be difficult for them to gain an advantage and make it difficult to live.

In addition, Black's fierce shoulder attack made the space for fighting extremely narrow, and the jumping and pushing techniques were almost unbearable. Therefore, cutting off became the inevitable choice for the ancients when facing the inverted lotus.

pat.

After placing a white piece, the girl with black hair in pigtails quietly watched Shang Liuliu's reaction.

Speaking of which, Shang Liuliu is actually Shang Wuwu's younger sister. After becoming Shang Liuliu, her orange twin ponytail hairstyle once again turned into a waterfall of long orange hair.

She won her twenty-third match... too.

Even Choi Geum-ryeol, who also had a perfect record of 23 wins, could not defeat her.

The strangest thing is that there was no warning at all when she transformed this time... it was as if she went from Shang Wuwu to Shang Liuliu in an instant.

Cui Jinlie couldn't pinpoint exactly when she changed.

All he knew was that when his golden pupils slightly lifted, he saw a pair of pitiful orange eyes and a head of long orange hair that reached his waist.

"Brother...play with me."

Relatively speaking, her chess skills weren't much stronger than Shang Wuwu's... she just won against Cui Jinlie in a rather unremarkable way.

That's right, plain and unremarkable... Since birth, Shang Liuliu has always been learning ancient methods and established patterns.

Her movements were as calm as those of the ancients, never showing any intense emotional fluctuations. She always played chess calmly, placing her pieces with composure.

In short, Shang Liuliu was a very calm girl, so... the girl with long black twin ponytails couldn't discern any emotion from her facial expression.

With a "thud," Ji Yingting also placed the black chess piece in her hand. Her soft, light green hair slowly fell onto her arm, which tickled a little, so she couldn't help but scratch it a few times.

"Although... I prefer white pieces. I like white's elegance, white's perfection, white's conservatism, and the helpless expression on the black opponent's face when they see the huge difference in points," Ji Yingting said softly, gently lifting her light green bangs.

What she really wanted to say... Li Le frowned slightly. Although Ji Yingting had led him into the fixed pattern of the Great Diagonal Thousand Changes, Li Le had not yet noticed any signs of him being at a disadvantage.

Of course... perhaps, the disadvantages have already emerged.

However, given his amateur fourth-dan level, he was unable to judge the merits of this position.

Countless green willow branches, like fireflies, fell from Ji Yingting's palm. Her eyes gradually opened a slit of pale purple, and she squinted as she spoke.

"However, I don't dislike it either. I don't dislike going all out, I don't dislike being rough and bold, and I don't dislike the intense pleasure of fighting with black pieces."

…………

"What does she mean by that look?! What is she trying to do?!" Looking into Ji Yingting's starry eyes, Li Le felt a chill run down his spine, and the tingling sensation on his scalp returned.

Her long, turquoise hair shone like moonlight, and Ji Yingting gently picked up a black chess piece and whispered, "Especially the feeling of defeating the enemy... it was so exhilarating that I almost came!"

Thud... A black chess piece was placed on the chessboard between two fingers.

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Instantly, Li Le broke out in a cold sweat. What... what is this? She hadn't initially felt this intense fear of danger.

With this move, Ji Yingting's fighting spirit was unleashed... no, to be precise, it was the thrill of slaughter, the feeling of looking down on an ant as a top player.

As the most complex joseki in Go, the Da Die (大斜) has countless variations... and of course, it also produces many deceptive moves; in fact, many variations can be called deceptive moves.

"You chose this dead end yourself, so come on... enjoy this, it's called... the Great Slanting Flying Knife!"

After placing the black piece, Ji Yingting gently withdrew her slender arm into her dark blue sleeve.

She has always been interested in and skilled at observing changes in the world around her, even in her past life.

Her footwork was incredibly strong, going out of sight.

Ji Yingting has thoroughly studied almost all the established techniques related to the eye... Of course, she occasionally develops new variations.

This large, slanted throwing knife is a common deceptive move in the "eye-out" technique, but... if Li Le makes a wrong move, he will be doomed.

"A big diagonal flying knife... this thing..." Li Le swallowed hard. He couldn't even imagine... this woman played Go like a complete novice. He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he lost!

Ten thousand star coins!! That's half a year's allowance for him!! If he really gives it away, how can he possibly earn it back...?

"Damn it, that bastard woman! Who cares how high you go or how high you climax? I'm not going to lose to you when it comes to climaxing!"

Thud... Anger gradually replaced his hesitation, and Li Le placed a white chess piece onto the chessboard.

Then... he died.

He was killed... killed by Ji Yingting's large, slanted flying knife, a partial death at the corner.

......................

.......

.......

"It's collapsed... White has been utterly defeated!"

"Impossible, impossible!!" Li Le stared wide-eyed at his gray eyes and shook his head in disbelief.

How could this be? All of his corner pieces are dead! Standing in the crowd, Zhou Quan's brows twitched wildly. He knew the skill level of this young man named Li Le.

He had the skill level of an amateur fourth dan, as well as the high-intensity calculation ability of a young person. Such a person is especially strong in local battles, which is how I lost to him.

However, he was killed instantly, his body torn to pieces, the very first one he felled! Who exactly is this woman with long green hair... and just how strong is she?

"Oh, right, right... I think I mentioned that we can't admit defeat."

Looking at the boy with his gray, spiky hair hanging down, Ji Yingting squinted her pale purple starry eyes and chuckled.

"No way... Is this girl really that strong?" The old men were surprised.

Li Le was utterly defeated in the local battle at the star point. If two players of equal skill were to continue playing, it would be impossible for him to win.

However, Li Le still held onto a sliver of hope, his fists clenching slightly.

That is... Ji Yingting has only specifically studied this change, this change called the Great Slanting Flying Knife.

"I'm about 25 points behind now, but it's not time to give up yet..." A few drops of sweat slid down Li Le's cheeks. He temporarily put aside the thoughts of the 10,000 star coins, or rather, he dared not think too much about it.
