Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 199 · Medieval-Ancient Go-Chess

The atmosphere on the field seemed a bit strange.

There was a kind of eerie silence when Germany played 7:2 at home in Brazil. Even if a goal was scored at the end of the game, the German audience did not dare to make any noise.

From the referee team, to the chess fans watching the game offline, to the UP hosts of major Go live broadcast rooms, everyone clicked their tongues and shook their heads.

awful.

What a terrible death.

Especially when Kong Hyuk made some pre-game remarks yesterday, Gojo Satoru had to light up a cigarette after watching this scene.

Kong Hyuk propped up his arms and leaned sideways on the chair.

It looked like it was burned out, and his expression was extremely painful.

With this level of pain, one could almost become the leader of the Nestorian Cult.

Tmd, how come the chess game, which started smoothly, suddenly turned into this horrible thing?
Who did it?
Could it be that some stinky chess player who is in the first or second level of his career took a heavy position in me and polluted me?

"I surrender."

At move 147, Black moved back. After Kong He thought for a moment, he angrily surrendered.

There is really no need to play this move.

This is a game where Black stops one move and White doesn't know how to win.

From the beginning of the penetration, Kong Hyuk felt like he was on a road that was bound to lead to disaster.

What's more, he is really dead.

Except for the disappearance of Dalong's vital signs and the end of his career in this chess holy war, everything else was basically normal.

Seeing this result, Jiang Tianqi felt a little relieved for some reason.

As the number one pawn of the fallen alliance, he should have been happy to see Shi Yu beaten.

Unexpectedly, seeing his teammates being hammered made him even happier.

There is nothing I can do. I am afraid that my teammates will have a hard time, and I am even more afraid that my teammates will drive a Land Rover.

Chang Ren's expression also froze, his face full of disillusionment.

That's it?

You vowed yesterday that you had discovered Shi Yu's fatal weakness, but today you were shown off in 147 moves?

I thought you were going to wear the stars and the moon and greet everyone with cheers, but in the end you went there wearing mourning clothes, right?
"The alliance was defeated in the fall!"

"According to the on-site news that came back yesterday, after Chang Ren lost the chess game, Kong He kindly patted him on the shoulder and said, you guys had the effect of paralyzing the opponent, and you also said that you discovered Shi Yu's fatal weakness."

"Paralyzing the opponent (×), knocking out the opponent's state (√)!"

Unfortunately, when Kong Hyuk patted Chang Ren on the shoulder and made a declaration of victory, there happened to be a camera nearby, which perfectly recorded this paralyzing scene.

As a result, this meme quickly spread through various channels inside and outside the chess circle.

At this point, all the members of the Fallen Alliance have been wiped out. It depends on whether Gu Shengshanjia joins this organization and lends a hand to his brothers.

Shi Yu also pulled his thoughts away from the long chess game and leaned back in his chair.

How should we evaluate Senior Kong’s game of chess?
I should say it’s pretty good——

It's such a state of excellence that doesn't cover up any flaws.

Kong He and Chang Ren's chess styles are similar. They are both based on the original style, waiting for opportunities to launch counterattacks.

However, in comparison, Kong Hyuk's ability to stop with silence is stronger, and he can often defeat his opponent's counter-attacks with a calm and steady attitude, so he is nicknamed the calm brother.

In this set, he did not adopt the extreme self-style like Chang Ren, but slightly added some chaos flow content as an improvement.

But when it rained, this person suddenly felt like he was under the influence of gunpowder, and his temper suddenly became violent. Like Brother Jin, he did not hesitate to plunge into the big scene and almost half of the plate died.
"Come on, tell me what you think is Shi Yu's fatal weakness."

Chang Ren came to the chessboard and asked the two people who were reviewing the game.

Although asking this kind of question at this time is somewhat unkind, like asking the common people why they don't eat cake since they can't afford bread.

But there was no way. At this moment, Chang Ren's curiosity level had exceeded the sky. Not only did he want to know, but he also had to know immediately.

Damn it, what kind of weakness did you discover to make you so brave?

Kong He touched the back of his head and said hesitantly: "I think Shi Yu's fatal weakness may be that he likes to be wild. When he sees a big dragon that is not alive, he can't help but kill it. When he sees a big dragon, he can't help but kill it. break."

Chang Ren's eyes darkened when he heard this answer.

He also thought that Kong He would probably say that Shi Yu's official skills were not good enough, and he might have to wait half a game with him to settle things down.

Unexpectedly, this person turned to metaphysics as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, Chang Ren indeed agrees with this point.

Not to mention the sworn attitude towards Dalong he showed in the Qi Jihad, just talking about yesterday's game, there was something wrong with his way of breaking through the air to control the isolated situation.

In that situation, Shi Yu could have entered the official battle stage with a two or three goal advantage, but he still chose to invade with Xiangbu.

Either he is really bad at being an official, or he is really a waste of time.

You can't really be doing tasks or earning achievements, right?
"Wait a minute, but what does this have to do with your game of chess today?" Chang Ren suddenly reacted.

"Since you believe that he is a prodigal, shouldn't you be the one to show off and let him break in?
Why did you break in instead? "

Kong He looked embarrassed: "Because I think I'm better at curing orphans than attacking. I'm just waiting for him to kill me, and then I'll take the money for him."

The more Chang Ren listened, the darker his eyes became.

Look, this is what happens when you try to appear holy in front of others, but end up showing yourself in front of the saint.

While the two of them were talking here, Shi Yu was also listening carefully.

In a sense, Chang Ren is actually quite right.

In terms of his own combat power attribute panel, Guanzi is indeed slightly worse.

Fortunately, the Gu Shengshan we will face next is also the type who is keen on taking down the biggest official on the chessboard, so this point can be taken lightly for now.

As for crossing the waves.
To be honest, I said it before in the Dragon Slaying Game. I didn't understand clearly and thought I was at a disadvantage.

In the solitary control situation on the upper plate, I was in a good state, so I took advantage of it and acted recklessly. Is this reasonable?
"By the way, I have to face Gu Shengshan in the next game?" Shi Yu suddenly said to himself.

"What if that's not the case? Do you think beating other people is not enough?" Chang Ren said.

"It's nothing, I just sighed. It seemed that I didn't encounter any resistance and suddenly reached the last level." Shi Yu said sincerely.

Chang Ren: "."

Kong Hyuk: "."

other people:"."

The post-game interviews began.

Gu Shengshan, who had been studying chess in the game room, finally came out and sat in front of the camera with Shi Yu.

"Congratulations Shi Yu, this is your first time to participate in our chess holy war competition, and it is also your first time to enter the challenge. What do you think?" the reporter asked.

Shi Yu held the microphone and said seriously:
"It feels incredible. I didn't expect that I could advance here in one breath. It's like a dream. Every opponent I encountered along the way was very strong, which made me feel tortured and desperate during the game. I It’s just luck to win against them.”

The four members of the Alliance fell silent again.

Good guy, when we communicated privately just now, there was no resistance, but suddenly we reached the final level.

When you are in front of the camera, you should be so humble that winning depends entirely on luck, right? You really think you are talented and virtuous, right?
Looking at Shi Yu's serious expression, the reporter couldn't help but feel ashamed:

"Ninth Dan of Gushengshan, can you express your thoughts? At the previous Nongshim Cup, you appointed Shi Yu as your successor. Can you say a few more words on this topic?"

After Gu Shengshan took the microphone, he couldn't help but smile:
"Well, don't take this too seriously. After all, we are going to compete for a prize of more than two million yuan. It's a bit inappropriate to talk about successors. We have to do it for real. .

I am not surprised at all that Shi Yu can reach this point. I have experienced his strength during training at the chess academy and know how deep his potential is.

I am optimistic that Shi Yu will definitely get the title of Chinese chess master in the future, but it will definitely not be the one I have now! "

Such a sonorous and powerful speech, with progressive emotions, showing the demeanor of a senior while still being domineering, attracted continuous applause from the chess fans in the audience.

It's nothing, I just drafted it a little before the interview, and deliberately made it neat and orderly.

This also reflects from the side that Gu Shengshan attaches great importance to this game.

He imagined the situation when Shi Yu killed him.

I just didn't expect that the process of winning chess would be so devastating.

Needless to say, Nie Lan in the first set was purely an Easter egg match.

But later Jiang Tianqi, Chang Ren, and Kong He won in a way that was not difficult either.

Even Chang Ren, who posed the greatest threat to Shi Yu, didn't seem to let him do his best.

In Fan Zeng's words, it is called the energy of the dragon and the tiger, which is also the energy of the emperor.

In ancient times, Gushengshan almost wanted to hold a Hongmen Banquet.

"Where's Yu then? What do you think of the next game?"

"Senior Gu Shengshan and I have the same idea. During my training at the chess academy, I also felt the strong mid-game strength of senior Gu Shengshan and thought he still has the potential to make breakthroughs.

Moreover, I also think that he will definitely be able to take back the title of chess saint in the future. Well, he will definitely be able to take it back in the future. "

As soon as he said this, the chess fans in the audience also laughed.

It has to be Shi Yu.

Extremely smooth and natural, he sent back the straight ball thrown by Gu Shengshan in four or two strokes.

The interview went on so harmoniously. The chess fans listened attentively and took out their mobile phones to take pictures again and again.

After all, they are all Chinese chess players, so it’s okay to have some back-and-forth with each other.

If you are a Chinese or Korean chess player, that would be even better.

If there are really Chinese and Korean chess players, maybe we can discuss whether the trailing side can start a dark duel when the score reaches 1:0.

"By the way, have you read the new rules for this chess holy war?"

Nie Lan, who was sitting aside and following the gag, suddenly slapped the back of his head, as if he remembered something that was not very important but had to be mentioned.

"What new regulations?" Shi Yu was stunned.

"Don't you know? The new regulations are really interesting. Maybe we will use them." Gu Shengshan said with a knowing expression.

Shi Yu still shook his head.

"It's ancient chess! This chess holy war includes medieval Go rules." Gu Shengshan announced excitedly.

"Medieval Go?" Shi Yu was surprised.

"Yes, it is ancient Go. As the title holder, I have a small power. I can adopt the rules of ancient Go according to my own wishes in the second and third games." Gu Shengshan said.

Shi Yu was stunned.

I didn't expect this competition to be so interesting.

The rules of modern Go are essentially based on Japanese Go. There is basically only one specific rule. The chess pieces will die when they run out of energy. In the end, it will be a matter of who can encircle the larger territory.

The original classical Chinese Go has an additional rule called returning the head on this basis.

Specifically, at the end of a game of chess, in addition to the specific number of tiles, it also depends on who has more chess pieces. Each additional piece must be close to the opponent's two tiles.

If after a game of chess is played, I have two empty pieces, and you have three empty pieces, you need to give me two pieces of chess.

If I have two pieces and you have four pieces, you need to stick four pieces upside down, and so on.

This rule seems very strange today.

But its underlying logic is quite philosophical.

Ancient Chinese chess players believed that a piece of chess requires at least two eyes to survive, and these two eyes are a necessary condition for survival. If the piece cannot be placed, it cannot be counted as an eye.

In other words, under the rules of medieval Go, players need to move their pieces outside, not to dig their eyes in place, and to avoid being broken up.

It is best to finish a game of chess so that all your pieces can be connected into one, while your opponent's pieces will be divided into multiple small spaces.

This is why the fighting in medieval Go was particularly brutal.

After all, if someone is forced to work in a small corner, it is not called alive, but zero goals.

In the words of an introductory Go teacher, these two moves are enough for you to lose four games.

So the ancient people competed to fight and seize the high point, and the chess they played became more violent with each game.

This rule has been discontinued for many years, but I didn't expect it to be seen again.

"Mainly inspired by your trip to Japan to participate in the Holy War, we did this." Nie Lan said with some pride.

"I thought about it. It's a bit unnecessary to have so many red tapes and bells and whistles like the Japanese do. We don't play two-day Go, so how can we have so much leisure time for lunch and tea breaks?
But we have a cultural heritage. Why don’t we play such interesting rules of ancient Go? Just think of it as a way to promote a sense of ritual and let everyone see different chess games. "

As Nie Lan said, many chess fans have indeed suggested that some medieval Go competitions can be held appropriately as a seasoning.

The chess games played under this rule are absolutely different from ordinary chess games, giving people a fresh and retro feel.

What's more, this is Luoyang, and the competition held is a chess holy war. In such an ancient environment, without the help of ancient chess, it always feels like something is missing.

Unexpectedly, this time the organizer actually listened.

"Why do I think this is more aimed at Korean Go?" Shi Yu beeped in a low voice.

This kind of behavior that highlights the cultural heritage of Go is not so much a benchmark against Japan, but rather a way to improve South Korea's strength.

If I have to say it, there is also a tradition of patrolling Go on the Korean Peninsula, but that game is not strange, but completely anti-human. Whoever likes it will play.

"In the Chess Holy War Challenge three days later, Gu Shengshan, as the title holder, will have the right to compete according to the ancient chess rules in the second and third games. Shi Yu, are you clear?" Nie Lan asked.

"No problem. I hope that in the second game, Senior Gu Shengshan will use the rules of ancient chess to deal with me." Shi Yu said.

　(4108/4108)!

　　The prototype of this game, yesterday's Mi Yuting vs. Iyama Yuta, because it was a split-second game, I won't show the picture, just describe it orally.
