Chapter 468 The God of Go
The strange rules proposed by Su Zhe really shocked everyone.

The water friends in the live broadcast room were all blown up:

[It reminds me of the World Chess Boxing Tournament (WCBO), one round of boxing, one round of chess, no matter which one loses, it is an immediate test of both physical strength and brain.]

[But the problem is that the opponents in boxing and chess never change! ]

【Su Zhe played Go with the Go Master and fought with the Japanese national team in full armor! His opponents only need to concentrate on one thing. 】

[I don't understand, but I am deeply shocked. If Su Zhe wins, he is my God! ]

Zhan Lao, who used to speak fluently, became stammering:
"Su Zhe, are you kidding?"

Su Zhe smiled and suddenly asked:
"How much face-slimming effects are you using in your livestream?"

"Huh?" Mr. Zhan was stunned.

Su Zhe moved closer to the camera and said helplessly:
"In your lens, my face has become deformed."

The fans found out that this was indeed the case and burst out laughing:
[Hahaha, Su Zhe is right, he looks scary when he has his face slimmed down.]

[This is the difference between celebrities and internet celebrities. ]

[Usually, internet celebrities use beauty filters and seem to be as beautiful as celebrities, but when they are in the same frame with celebrities, their beauty is exposed.]

[Hahaha, Mr. Zhan, you still say you don’t have beauty filters? ]

Mr. Zhan hurriedly explained, saying things like "face slimming does not count as beauty" one after another, and the live broadcast room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

No one asked about Su Zhe's arrangements anymore.

He wasn't joking, of course, but there was no need to keep stressing it.

Soon, three chess masters arrived. Su Zhe directly prepared three chess boards and played against the three of them at the same time.

Except for the audience in Zhan Lao's live studio who knew in advance, the Japanese audience were all stunned:
[Su Zhe is not playing in a round-robin match, but is playing against three chess masters at the same time? 】

[Too arrogant! Too arrogant! I like it so much! He is really handsome. ]

[I was actually relieved. With his level of letting two pieces defeat Kawada, even if they were to play a round-robin match, I'm afraid he would win all the games. Now that he is so arrogant, the three chess masters have a chance to defeat him.]

The three chess masters shared the same idea and agreed.

However, this time he did not give any handicap, and Su Zhe guessed the first move with the three of them.

There were wins and losses for each side. Su Zhe played in different chess games, and Yu Luo played with black and white respectively. The audience just watched and felt confused.

However, Su Zhe played chess very quickly, as if he didn't need to think.

But the expressions of the three chess masters became more and more serious, and they made their moves more and more slowly, constantly thinking for a long time.

Su Zhe was so busy that he played three games of chess at the same time and still had enough time to spare, and he performed very well.

[Am I seeing this right? Su Zhe has the upper hand in all three games? ]

[I can't accept this! This must be a special effect! ]

It is difficult for Japanese audiences to accept this.

On the contrary, Li Jiudan and Zhan Lao, who were at the scene, were very sure as professional chess players:
"Su Zhe has the upper hand!"

"His chess moves are so weird!"

Zhan Lao's eyes turned, and seeing that Li Jiudan had not challenged Su Zhe yet, he simply walked over and said in fluent Korean:
"Hello, Li Jiudan, I am a Chinese chess player, Zhan Erdan, and I am broadcasting live. Many chess players in China are watching the live broadcast. Let's talk about chess together to our friends in the live broadcast room?"

She trained in South Korea for many years and speaks fluent Korean.

Li Jiuduan was stunned for a moment, but immediately agreed readily.

The two began to set up the chess pieces and talk about the game. Li Jiudan immediately showed his chess skills that far surpassed those of Mr. Zhan.

When predicting the moves of the three chess masters, Li Jiudan was able to guess most of them correctly. For some inconsistencies, he would explain the reasons. To the audience in the live broadcast room, it seemed that his moves were better than those of the three chess masters.

As for Mr. Zhan’s prediction... would you like to know more about Eagle’s Hand?
The fans laughed so hard:

[What a difference! They are all professional chess players, why is there such a big difference in their chess skills? ]

Zhan Lao was very angry:

[If there is no difference, wouldn't I be the best in the world? ]

After hearing her translation, Li Jiuduan shook his head and said sincerely:
"Not counting honors and only looking at strength, I'm afraid Su Zhe is the best in the world."

When he said this, Mr. Zhan was stunned.

The audience was stunned.

Professional chess players in China who were watching the live broadcast were also stunned.

Even though it is difficult to say that Li Jiudan is the best in the world based on his pure strength, he personally admitted that Su Zhe, a star who has never been promoted to a professional level and is not a Go player, is the best Go player?
This is too exaggerated!

The live broadcast room exploded.

When people in the Go circle discussed with each other, they found it difficult to refute what Li Jiudan said.

A layman might seize on the argument that Su Zhe has no championship and has played too few games to refute this.

After all, they don't understand chess, they can only look at the number of championships and can only judge historical status and strength by counting.

But true professional chess players can appreciate Su Zhe's powerful chess skills from the game -

That was a level that was ahead of its time.

Just like a person who runs 100 meters in 8 seconds in a school sports meet, even if he is not an Olympic champion, he is still the number one in short-distance running.

[Master Su, when were you the number one in the chess world? ]

【Today, today! 】

[He is an expert in both chess and swordsmanship. Could it be that he is also the best in the world in kendo? ]

[Although he can kill the Japanese Sword Master in seconds, his record is too small to be sure.]

The live broadcast room exploded, but Li Jiudan and Zhan Lao were very calm:

They can see such obvious things.

But there are things they can’t see—

Su Zhe's move.

The two had very different opinions when predicting the moves of the Japanese chess master, but they came to the same conclusion when predicting Su Zhe - they were both wrong.

The live broadcast room was stunned:

[So both of them can't see through Su Zhe's chess moves? ]

[Could it be that the gap between Li Jiudan and Su Zhe is greater than the gap between Zhan Lao and Li Jiudan? ]

[In front of Su Zhe, all chess players are equal—no one can beat him anyway.]

As he continued to predict, Li Jiuduan fell silent, shook his head and sighed:
"I really can't guess it, but every move afterwards, even dozens of moves later, can prove that it was a move made by God."

His eyes were full of confusion.

In Go, making a brilliant move and creating a famous game is a beautiful memory that will be engraved in the minds of all people.

Even the chess game may be passed down, becoming a node in promoting the development of Go and becoming famous in the history of Go.

That’s why it’s called “God’s Hand”, it’s God’s blessing!
But in Su Zhe's hands, the god's move seemed to have become the norm, and every move was so amazing.

"Is he a god?"

Li Jiuduan shook his head, but Zhan Lao said the same thing:

"Su Zhe is the ancient Greek god in charge of Go, right?"

This is a popular internet meme (the ancient Greek god in charge of xx), but it is strange to apply it to Go. A netizen corrected it:

[Ancient Greece? We are also one of the four ancient civilizations! ]

[Go is Chinese, so he should be the Chinese god who controls Go.]

[That's the God of Go!] At this time, Su Zhe walked in front of the live camera, saw these comments, and quickly said modestly:

"You're flattering me too much! I'm just an amateur, figuring things out on my own. I'm just laughing and joking, I can't be called a chess god."

Mr. Zhan: ...

Li Jiudan: "What did Su Zhe say?"

Zhan Lao translated: "He said he was the chess god."

Su Zhe:? ? ?
"Big face, I understand Korean!"

Zhan Lao rolled his eyes. After meeting Su Zhe, he was no longer enchanted by him and no longer regarded him as a perfect but distant idol. He said speechlessly:

"God of Chess Su, stop pretending to be modest. Now everyone can see that your chess skills are unparalleled in the world. Even Li Jiudan admits that he is not as good as you."

Su Zhe glanced at Li Jiuduan and smiled:
"I'm not in this field, don't compare yourself with me, it will only cause you trouble."

Mr. Zhan knew that Su Zhe was about to stop playing Go. Even if he could play a few games in private, he would not participate in public Go competitions. He would no longer be on the same track as all the other players, and there would be no competition between them.

But even if he didn't take part in the competition, he was right there, standing at the pinnacle of the chess world, gazing at the people climbing the mountain from afar.

From then on, the competition in the chess world was just a fight for the second place in the world.

Old Zhan looked at Su Zhe, who had a leisurely expression, then at the three Japanese chess masters with serious expressions, and finally at Li Jiudan, who had become silent. He suddenly remembered his own desperate chess career.

She is also a genius. She was able to defeat so-called amateur Go masters when she was very young, so she joined the professional Go world.

She worked hard for nearly ten years, gambled her own future, and even her whole family sacrificed for her, accompanying her to travel around the country to learn chess, even going as far as South Korea. Only then did she succeed in becoming a professional chess player.

Her peers who studied chess with her also gambled everything, but because of their less talent and even worse luck, they had to leave in the end, had no chance of becoming a professional and could only become amateur masters.

She was one of the few lucky ones who had walked across the single-plank bridge, but after she became a professional chess player, she discovered that the professional world was even more cruel.

Failure, failure after failure, watching peers soar to success and the younger generations catching up step by step.

She finally understood: there is always a mountain higher than another, and the so-called genius is nothing but a mediocre person in front of a greater genius.

She waded through the sea of ​​mediocrity, reconciled with herself, and accepted that she could only stand at the bottom of the mountain and watch the great chess players in the chess world shine like stars.

But now, the person standing on the top of the mountain - Li Jiudan, has also encountered a higher mountain.

A chess god who has never received professional Go training, has no master, and has walked a different path on his own - Su Zhe!
At this moment, as a Chinese, Mr. Zhan was happy for Su Zhe. He was happy that he was the "God of Go" and belonged to the ancient country that created Go.

But as an "ordinary person" who struggles forward step by step, she can better understand the feelings of the three Japanese chess masters and Li Jiudan.

She felt the helplessness and despair again:
"Genius, damn it."

Su Zhe was right beside her, so of course he heard her sigh. He was silent for a moment, then reached out and rubbed her big face:

"If there is an opponent that we can never defeat, should we not keep moving forward? Would our efforts be meaningless? That's not the case."

After the emergence of AI, human Go seems to have lost its meaning.

All chess players are imitating AI, and there are no longer any unique chess moves or styles.

The chess is like the man? Not anymore.

And no matter how much the chess players imitate, they will never be able to beat AI. Even the latest AI can defeat top human chess players, such as a certain cupping king, with just two pieces.

But the chess players continue, and the chess world continues.

Even if we can never defeat AI, it still makes sense to move forward.

Su Zhe wanted to convey this spirit to chess players around the world.

But in the eyes of the fans:

[Fuck, even if you can never defeat me, it still makes sense to move forward! So pretentious, so domineering. ]

[Confidence and dominance with a touch of humanistic care, it's really sweet. 】

Zhan Lao blushed...

Being pinched.

"It hurts! Idol, please let go!"

"It feels good." After Su Zhe stopped playing, he saw a Japanese chess master making a move. He walked over calmly and found that even after a long consideration, his move was still bad.

In his previous life, a top chess player (Lee Sedol) once said that before the emergence of AI, he had many famous games that he was proud of and made many brilliant moves.

But after the emergence of AI, when the chess game was fed to AI, it was discovered that no matter it was myself or my opponent, the winning rate would drop by 10% after making a move (which means it was very bad).

It can be described as "a fight between two weaklings".

But that was already the peak of chess players at that time.

So when Su Zhe saw the moves made by the Japanese chess masters, he really didn't feel any pressure at all. With a flick of his hand, he caused the chess masters to crash again - and continued to think for a long time.

This even gave him time to take part in Mr. Zhan’s live broadcast and come over to say a few words from time to time.

Everyone could see that the defeat of the three Japanese chess masters was only a matter of time. They had no hope of a comeback, but they did not resign themselves to defeat because they shouldered the dignity of Japan.

At this moment, Li Jiudan suddenly said:
"Su Zhe, can we play a game of hand-to-hand too?"

Su Zhe was a little surprised.

He is not involved in the Go circle, so the title of "number one" does not apply to him.

Even out of respect for the chess players' hard work, he was unwilling to compete for these honors.

If Li Jiudan didn't challenge him, he would never take the initiative to do so, just to prove his chess skills.

He is not that kind of person. Even if he faces the chess master from Japan, it is just to prevent the Japanese from turning around and slandering him.

But Li Jiudan knew that he was about to stop playing chess, but still challenged him, which made him puzzled:
"Li Jiudan, have you thought it through?"

Li Jiudan nodded seriously:
"I have to see the top of the mountain, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life."

For this, even if it means losing the false reputation of being the number one, it is worth it.

Su Zhe seemed to see in him the characters like sword fanatic and martial arts fanatic in martial arts novels.

He was silent for a moment, and when he saw Li Jiudan take out the chessboard, he reached out to stop him, regardless of the possibility of embarrassing himself in front of all the spectators:
"Let's do it in private. I'll play a round with you and I won't announce the result."

Su Zhe is a man and respects other men very much.

Mr. Zhan's eyes lit up and he was eager to try.

Su Zhe glanced at her and nodded:
"Everyone who sees it will have a share. I'll play a game with you, too."

"yeah!"

Zhan Lao was very excited and just wanted to celebrate when he heard Su Zhe add:
"If you lose, your face will be pinched."

"Ah?" Zhan Lao suddenly became worried, "Will it be squeezed even bigger?"

The audience in the live broadcast room saw Li Jiudan's perseverance, Su Zhe's understanding, and Zhan Lao's...

They were immediately moved:

[Li Jiudan deserves respect! I am willing to die in the evening after hearing the truth in the morning! ]

[Su Zhe is also worthy of respect! Although he is a peerless genius and possesses countless powerful skills, he never uses them to show off or to elevate himself. If he is not forced to do so, he will not even show them off.]

[And as a genius, he can actually sympathize with and respect ordinary people. I admire him! ]

[Wait, isn't Mr. Zhan worthy of respect? ]

Zhan Lao showed an expectant expression, waiting for the fans to praise her together, and to form a group of three friends with high moral character, namely plum, orchid and bamboo, together with Su Zhe and Li Jiuduan.

The result barrage said:
[Mr. Zhan... she has such a big face! ]

[It should feel good to pinch! 】

Mr. Zhan: ???

"I won't broadcast it anymore. It hurts my self-esteem!"
