The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"But...can she really win?"

Ji Yingting's long, bluish-green hair was whipped up by the icy mist, and her right hand, holding a black chess piece, descended above the dead pieces.

rush.

“At this point, we should choose to make a move from a distance to reduce the lingering impact of White’s huge territory, because the captured stones are just too big.” An Ruotong frowned; she didn’t understand what Ji Yingting meant by this move.

A minute ago, An Ruotong might have thought Ji Yingting wanted more black pieces to die, but as soon as she saw Ji Yingting's pale green pupils, An Ruotong could only feel a chill spreading through her body; Ji Yingting was truly serious.

What exactly is the nature of her chess game...?

The ice-armored cat, emanating icy mist, stood before Biwohe. His mind seemed frozen, his thoughts slowed, and his river of memories was gradually frozen by the icy mist.

Oh no, my calculation ability... has she interfered with it?! My emotions gradually became anxious, and my mind became chaotic.

The changes he could easily calculate before seemed to have reached an endless limit. He frowned and became engrossed in a long calculation process.

boom!!!

After Biwo and I finally made their moves, Ji Yingting immediately placed another piece, cutting off the opponent's move.

"Hmm?" An Ruotong made a strange sound. She could sense something from the way the game was played, but the death of the black pieces was inevitable.

But did she choose to cut off White's stones because she targeted the weak point in White's previous "flying shield" move?

A break point is a point in Go where one player's position can be cut off by the opponent.

An Ruotong's mind was racing with calculations... but Ji Yingting immediately placed a piece on the board.

How can she play chess so fast? My calculation skills simply can't keep up with the speed at which she plays by feel!

However... under her constant attacks, the shape of White's stones did start to look a little strange.

pat, pat, pat.

Ji Yingting's long, light green hair swayed behind her as she placed each chess piece at lightning speed. A light green cat, covered in icy armor, sat on Ji Yingting's back.

The icy cloud of smoke exhaled from the cat's mouth scattered her long, bluish-green hair. Enveloped in the icy cloud, Ji Yingting's body appeared to have sprouted two magnificent frost wings.

With his mind and body greatly affected, Ji Yingting complicated the situation of that dead group of stones by breaking through the defenses.

Snap... Ji Yingting held onto her light green sleeve with her left hand, and stretched out her slender right arm to take a white chess piece off the board. She captured one of the white pieces that had been drawn by her opponent and gently tossed it into the chess box.

"Hmm!!" Biwo was suddenly stunned. He seemed to have discovered Ji Yingting's intention. This should be the zombie genre.

However... this capture only took one piece off the edge of the board, and had little impact on the overall situation.

This woman sacrificed even more black stones in her attempt to capture that one white stone. Is her zombie strategy really viable?

Zombie Strategy: Zombie Strategy is a specific term in Go, referring to the use of sacrificial pieces to find the opponent's weaknesses and attack them.

It should be specifically pointed out here that the "zombie style" refers to a type of dead but not rigid formation in a game. Generally, it involves a different way of thinking than the average person, a deeper understanding of dead groups and the strength of pieces, and the ability to discover strategies, grasp the game, and control the rhythm.

Chapter 102: Fainting

"Pat..." Night fell, and pale green moonlight slowly shone in through the window. In a room of the New Moon Hotel, two people were silently playing chess.

A girl with dry, yellowish hair is playing chess against a girl with long, icy blue hair in a bun that covers her eyes.

"Bingyuan, I heard you also have a record of six wins?" Ji Qiuyao gently placed a black piece onto the chessboard with her right hand.

"Haha, I was lucky, I was lucky. You're still the best, sister," Ji Bingyuan said, scratching her bun-shaped hair a little embarrassed.

Ji Qiuyao shook her head helplessly. "The Go players in Xinyue Province are generally weak, so there's no room for luck... Your Go skill is top-tier even among amateur fourth dan players."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qiuyao was a little taken aback by her own words... Are the chess players from Crescent Moon Province really that weak?

In the past few days, through her matches against Wang Jun and Long Chou, Ji Qiuyao has experienced immense pressure, with the outcome only decided at the very last moment. Ji Qiuyao also finds it hard to say that luck wasn't an factor involved.

It was because her opponents in the previous rounds were too strong that she was able to maintain her position at table number one with enough points.

For example, Ji Bingyuan has the lowest score among those who have won all their matches, which is why she encountered an opponent with one less winning set than herself.

However... these people should be the strongest in Crescent Province, right? Anyway, after the sixth round, only 5 people will still be able to maintain a perfect record of six wins.

…………

…………

The chess and card room of another hotel not far from the Crescent Hotel.

boom!!

A beam of cyan light fell onto the chessboard, and the entire game was shrouded in icy blue mist. Biwohe trembled uncontrollably, his eyelids twitching incessantly.

Ji Yingting's right hand slammed heavily onto the chessboard, then gently moved up one position.

"Why is she making such a loud noise when she plays Go, such a delicate girl?" Passersby glanced at her slightly. Although they didn't understand Go, they still found the sound of Ji Yingting placing her stones quite captivating.

It's almost over... Her offensive is too strong. How many points does White have left? Two? Three? Or... has she lost all her advantage?

I didn't even realize that the grapes she had picked earlier were for the reference in the lower left corner... Biwohe's brows furrowed tightly, and a thin layer of frost covered his entire body.

With his calculation ability greatly interfered by Ji Yingting's moves, Biwohe had no intention of calculating the overall situation anymore.

The bottom left corner... is the endgame left by Ji Yingting using the "Great Diagonal Thousand Variations" at the very beginning of this game.

"She's playing Black... Although she's only trailing White by one and a half points in the endgame, especially considering White's strong opening moves... she's going to lose. After all, having a lead of over thirty points in the early game is just too exaggerated."

An Ruotong stared with blood-red eyes and clenched her fists tightly. She could feel Ji Yingting's intense resentment.

"I'm really not reconciled."

But it's precisely because...she played so well that I'm unwilling to accept defeat...it's precisely because her chess skills are so strong that I'm unwilling to accept defeat.

She's so strong, why didn't she play seriously against me?! A few fleeting tears welled up in An Ruotong's eyes. It would be such a pity if Ji Yingting lost after playing such a good game...

However... if it weren't for Ji Yingting's terrible mistake, they wouldn't have witnessed this magnificent game, where Ji Yingting abandoned everything to launch a frenzied attack.

"pity"

With her bright red bangs obscuring her eyes and eyebrows, Ji Hongying slowly shook her head. Any professional player would not be able to give up this 1.5-point advantage in the endgame. Ji Yingting's loss was already a foregone conclusion.

With a whoosh, a wisp of icy mist escaped from the ice-blue cat's mouth. Its breathing gradually weakened, and the Ice Forgiveness Cat seemed to be getting tired. Ji Yingting's long-held chess position was about to give way.

Her long, light green hair fluttered gently in the breeze from the indoor fan, and her light green bangs swayed above her crescent-shaped eyebrows.

With a "thud," she gently placed a black chess piece onto the board with her right hand. She remained calm and deep in thought, not paying any attention to the game's calculations. As a result, she was unaware that she was currently trailing the white pieces by one and a half points.

"Click!"

In an instant, something unexpected happened: Biwohe's body slowly fell backward, and the chair overturned on the ground with a clatter.

His head lay on the cold ground, and he passed out.

Exhausted, Biwo finally couldn't hold on until the end of the game... He collapsed to the ground, his body trembling slightly, his right hand raised reluctantly, his lips shockingly white as if frozen.

Ji Yingting's last move became the final straw that broke the camel's back... He could no longer lift his right hand, and his body could no longer stand up.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone present... Biwo slowly closed his eyes, his right hand ultimately unable to rise, falling limply to the ground.

"Captain!!!" The Sakura Empire players screamed in despair as they swarmed towards Kamen Rider and Kamen Rider.

Even if they won this game, it wouldn't bring them any joy. Their most admired captain had been defeated by her, by this long-haired green woman's relentless attacks.

This humiliation has caused his chess mind... to begin to crumble.

"Ah, it feels so good to sleep with my eyes closed like this." At this moment, I let go of all thoughts in my mind and slowly drifted off to sleep.

call……

The icy armor gradually shattered, turning into icy mist that scattered from the green cat's body. Ji Yingting also gradually closed her pale green moonlight eyes.

Having resolved the chess situation, Ji Yingting closed her eyes and breathed softly. She felt confident that she would be able to sleep soundly until dawn, as she was simply too exhausted.

"Hahaha, you were going to lose by one and a half points... Luckily he passed out, serves him right."

An Ruotong had long forgotten her past conflict with Ji Yingting, and she said with relief.

"One and a half glances?" Ji Yingting, who had just finished marking the target, looked up and asked with some confusion.

"Yeah, you lost by one and a half points. By the way, you didn't count your points, did you?" An Ruotong asked in surprise.

“It is indeed by one and a half points. Even if you win that last ko fight, Sakuraba, you will still lose by half a point, not to mention that Black has more ko threats than you,” Ji Hongying said worriedly, rubbing her fiery red hair.

Ji Yingting shook her head, her long, light green hair swaying. She pointed to the chessboard and explained to the two of them, "No, you see, he'll probably move all the way through the endgame, right? What if I 'point' at him at that moment?"

To prevent me from turning the tables and creating a ko fight, he'll definitely have to make a move to trap me here... That way, I can take the initiative in the ko fight, then play the last single move, and in the end, I'll win half a point! !" Ji Yingting smiled and clapped her hands, applauding herself.

Chapter 103: The world through her eyes... we can't see it.

Ji Yingting shook her head, her long, light green hair swaying, and pointed to the chessboard as she explained to the two of them.

"No, you see, he'll probably be moving all the way through the finale, right? What if I 'point' at him along the way?"

To prevent me from launching a counter-attack and creating a ko fight that I can't connect with, he'll definitely have to make a move to trap me here... That way I can take the initiative in the ko fight, then play the last single move, and finally I'll win half a point! !" Ji Yingting smiled and clapped her hands.

Huh? An Ruotong was stunned. She slowly widened her blood-red pupils. For some reason, she could no longer hear the sounds around her. The world in her eyes seemed to turn gray in an instant.

What if I tapped him on the spot at this moment?

To prevent me from launching a counter-attack and creating a situation where I can't rejoin, he'll definitely have to make a move to trap me here... That way, I can take the initiative in the ko fight, then play the last single move, and in the end, I'll win by half a point.

"One-way point? First move to take the initiative?" Ji Yingting's words kept echoing in An Ruotong's mind, and she opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

If we play like this... it seems like we could actually win by half a point.

No, I'm sure I can win by half a point!! An Ruotong's blood-red pupils gleamed with an unusual light.

The gray world was dim and gloomy, with only Ji Yingting's long, bluish-green hair swaying in front of her eyes.

An Ruotong stared blankly ahead as a green cat covered in ice-blue armor slowly dissipated into the air, while ethereal ice clouds still gently flowed from the ends of Ji Yingting's long green hair.

Is this her strategy?!

An Ruotong almost gasped when she saw the "forgiveness cat." In that instant, she had completely seen Ji Yingting's chess moves—a strange-looking big cat?

She frowned slightly, staring at the spot where the "forgiveness cat" had disappeared. How could she see her chess moves? Her opponent wasn't her at all! An Ruotong was filled with confusion.
