The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"..."

"..."

So, what exactly happened in this game?!

Looking at the chessboard, which was already filled with many pieces, Ji Shihu's pupils contracted rapidly. Her opening move clearly gave her the advantage, so how could it have turned into this situation in just a few moves?!

Her long golden hair floated up one by one, and her violent aura almost engulfed the minds of those around her.

Last year, even the throne was narrowly defeated by Tiger Princess's overwhelming rage.

however……

At this moment, Ji Shihu's anger carried a hint of struggle, and the shock on his face was hard to erase.

Is there still such a way to forcefully kill someone else's pieces in professional competitions?

The sound of a piece being placed was like thunder, and a beam of dazzling golden light pierced through the chessboard like a laser cannon...

Ji Yingting had been playing bad moves and foolish shapes all along, but in the lower right corner of the board, two groups of white stones seemed like the ears of some creature, brutally twisting the black stones in two...

as well as……

Ji Shihu's pupils gradually shrank to pinhole size as he looked behind Ji Yingting in disbelief.

It was a more terrifying existence than any chess position she had ever seen, an unknown substance composed of pure "evil".

Ji Yingting's long, bluish-green hair cascaded down into two thick ponytails. She indifferently placed a chess piece to her lips and said softly, "Well then, I'll let you struggle a little longer."

As soon as she finished speaking, an eerie green crescent moon covered Ji Yingting's entire left cheek. A figure with terrifyingly bulging muscles was crouching on her back, with two enormous ears drooping to the ground. It was as if... it was the incarnation of a moon demon.

Chapter 526: Tiger Princess's Defeat

An eerie, green crescent moon covered Ji Yingting's entire left cheek. A figure with terrifyingly bulging muscles was crouching on her back, with two enormous ears drooping to the ground. The moon rabbit, radiating the aura of moonlight, was simply... like the incarnation of a moon demon.

"This woman..."

Ji Shihu's golden eyes narrowed slightly; she had never seen a chess player with such an astonishing aura before.

Even the ninth-dan Phoenix Feather, the newly crowned celebrity Luo Jiangxing, and Gong Zhinan, who is known as the strongest eighth-dan, and Qing Tiancai, the seventh-dan, can put unparalleled pressure on her.

However... this is Ji Yingting, a professional fourth-dan player, whose existence is different from anyone else, any other player.

The wickedness that emanated from her fingertips as she placed the chess pieces was something no normal chess player could comprehend.

Her long, turquoise hair floated slowly to the surface, and Ji Yingting's crescent-shaped eyes slowly opened a crack.

As the seasons changed and the sun and moon followed their order, she gazed at the battle on the chessboard and silently picked up a chess piece.

Chess Strategy: Moon-Devouring Demon Rabbit.

This was a completely different feeling from before. She had sacrificed so much to achieve this growth. Those things that should have been abandoned should not be shown the slightest pity. Ji Yingting had already understood those things during that battle three months ago.

She has the skill and the talent to reach the top, but the limitations she faces are too great. Whenever she faces a protracted battle in a game, even if she persists until the endgame, she can only rely on close moves to defeat her opponent.

just now……

It's completely different now.

Use this amazing skill to dismantle everything...

In Ji Yingting's view, the drooping ears of the moon rabbit gently caressed her delicate face. With her there, there was no need to retreat anymore.

The moonlight and fireflies spilled across the chessboard. The creature crouching on Ji Yingting's back revealed a cold expression, staring intently at the blonde woman opposite the chessboard.

A professional 9-dan player, last year, Hu Ji, who was only one step away from the throne, is one of the top professional Go players in the Ji family.

Faced with such overwhelming and seemingly hopeless resistance, what kind of resistance could she possibly mount?

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap...

Ji Shihu ignored the sounds of pieces being placed around him. This was only the first battle of the preliminary rounds. Even if it wasn't a complete elimination system, how could she possibly become the true queen if she lost in the first round of the preliminary rounds?

In this game, Ji Shihu does indeed have a slight advantage in terms of opening moves, at least in terms of points, board shape, and mid-game development. Ji Shihu's winning probability is higher.

Originally, the media had analyzed that as long as Ji Yingting's strategy could not create a gap with Ji Shihu, he would definitely fall behind in the mid-game battle with Hu Ji.

Surprisingly, Ji Yingting was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the planning, which meant...

If Black truly falls into a fierce battle due to White's unreasonable entanglement, then Tiger Princess's advantage will also vanish, and the outcome will depend entirely on this one battle...

The Demon Rabbit revealed that Ji Yingting's very first move on the chessboard had already split the black pieces in two.

Gazing at the chessboard, beads of sweat dripped from Ji Shihu's forehead.

There was no other way but to fight with all his might. After a year, this was the first time Ji Shihu had felt such immense pressure since the Throne Battle and Liu Tianmen.

Her long, black and gold hair gradually floated up, and pale golden tulips slowly bloomed from her body.

As a member of the Ji family, renowned for its strength, Ji Shihu naturally possesses a chess strategy that has accompanied him since he began learning chess.

Tiger Princess is well-known. Outside of the professional Go world, many people subconsciously believe that Ji Shi Hu's moves are related to tigers, including Ji Ying Ting.

In fact... her daughter, Ji Tuntao, does indeed possess the chess skills of the Tiger.

Is her chess position also a tiger?

Just as Ji Yingting was deep in thought, the golden petals on Ji Shihu's back had solidified into a tangible form, and the aura of the blooming flower condensed into a phantom, dying golden tiger.

A dead tiger lay on Ji Shihu's back. It seemed like an ordinary chess position, yet... those watching the game all showed a solemn expression.

! ! ! ! ! !

The hoarse, grating voice was like a solid blackboard being slid across the surface. Gradually, a chilling, wicked laugh came from behind Ji Shihu. Then, she pulled the tiger's head close to her eyes...

Strangely, the tiger's head was not a tiger at all, but rather a blood-soaked, grotesque demon.

The next second, the demon covered half of Ji Shihu's face like a mask, and the bloodstains turned into golden tiger stripes.

Fear, evil, eeriness, distortion, vortex, and strange emotions filled Ji Shihu's surroundings.

His overwhelming madness erupted, making him a truly chilling chess player...

"The Chess Game: Acting as an Accomplice to a Tiger"

Qi Ji Shi Hu gently opened her mouth, and after putting on the demon mask, her voice became incredibly shrill, as if it were a composite of two different creatures...

"Ji Yingting, I hope you don't harbor even the slightest illusion that you can defeat me in this match."

"..."

"..."

"It doesn't matter……"

Ji Yingting was silent for a moment, then said softly, "You can continue saying this after Senior Tiger Princess loses, because I have never, even for a single second, imagined that I would lose to you."

Ji Yingting actually said such things in front of Hu Ji?

Her voice was so cute and sweet that it didn't sound like she was talking nonsense... Although everyone already knew how arrogant this Sansheng Cup champion was through Go newspapers, they had never seen her in person.

Now that I see her, she's clearly just an adorable little girl, and her provocative words... I doubt anyone would take them seriously.

Ji Yingting gently picked up a white chess piece, and the crescent-shaped patterns entwined within it seemed to guide her like moonlight as she gently placed it on the chessboard.

A fight in the bottom lane is inevitable...

This game has a maximum of ten moves left. Let's decide the winner in ten moves!

In an instant, countless variations appeared in both of their minds. Ten moves, a hundred moves—this is the most basic range that professional chess players need to consider. Countless patterns extended out like a spider web.

Unlike checkers, Gomoku, Shogi, and chess.

Although Go is called a board game, it is actually not a simple calculation game. You can't win just by knowing the rules, and you can't know the rules just by learning how to calculate. Beginners often study Go for a year and still don't know how to distinguish between winning and losing.

The thunderous outburst of Black's moves, the relentless dripping of water in White's defense—the outcome, though presented on the chessboard, symbolizes the entire universe…

pat...

The black chess piece rolled to the ground, and to everyone's disbelief, the black chess piece, Tiger Princess, had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position in the battle!

Ji Yingting withdrew her small hand, which was painted with jade-colored nail polish. Gradually, the moonlight patterns on her body slowly dissipated, and the giant creature sitting on her shoulder revealed a terrifying smile.

Professional 9-dan player Ji Shihu... She hasn't reached her limit yet; she needs a stronger opponent and a more intense game!

Ji Yingting stood up from her seat, looking down at the blonde woman whose expression was slightly dazed, her pale green eyes revealing a hint of childish superiority.

Winning the game, just winning this one game, that's the purest arrogance a young chess player can have...

Everyone believed that this game would soon spread throughout the professional Go world.

Ji Yingting, a professional 4-dan player, won by resignation while playing white.

Ji Shihu, a professional 9th ​​Dan player, was defeated in the first round of the Throne Tournament preliminary rounds.

Chapter 527: The Chess Emperor's Disciple

Ji Yingting, a professional 4-dan player, won by resignation while playing white.

Ji Shihu, a professional 9th ​​Dan player, was defeated in the first round of the Throne Tournament preliminary rounds.

Gently arranging the chess pieces, Ji Yingting smiled faintly as she faced the silent woman.

She had known this day would come for a long time. No... she had been preparing for it for a long time. Ever since the moment she picked up the chess piece a year ago, this outcome was destined.

What she saw was not just the starry sky, but also memories of the past...

Even though she has let go of the past grievances, she still wants to turn the world upside down in the professional chess arena on the moon, and to overturn the Ji family's dominance.

Ji Shihu, a professional ninth-dan, is far from representing the top level of the Ji family. There are still three or four more who can make even Sakuraba feel that they are far behind.

"Very happy"

Ji Yingting spoke softly, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"I'm very happy to have won this match against you, even if it wasn't a knockout round. I'm still very pleased."

Are you looking down on me? The knockout stage... I'll give up.
