After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"Mitsuba Kenichi's shaping skills are still unmatched."

Takemiya Masahei looked at Kenichi Mitsuba who started to show his strength as soon as the second half began, and said something silently in his heart.

Relying on these clever sequences, Kenichi Mitsuba once again managed to save a lot of the situation.

How should I put it, although Kenichi Mitsuba is not good at using the big form to attack, it does not mean that he does not know how, nor does it mean that he is not capable of it.

Zhan Lang feels the same way now. He has always wondered what level Japan's top-notch players can reach.
No matter how good a ninth dan is in the era of artificial intelligence, he should be able to beat them easily.

But it turned out that Zhan Lang's judgment was wrong.

Chess players have indeed made great improvements in the era of artificial intelligence, but it does not mean that chess players before the era of artificial intelligence were not strong enough, especially those who are already at the top of the world.

China's last great emperor Gu Dali was old and frail, but when he was invited to participate in the competition, he was still able to chase the crown prince and beat him for most of the game. The world's number one female player was even chased and beaten in the world championships.

If it weren't for his old age and frailty, an ordinary ninth-dan might not be able to deal with the king figures of the previous era 100%.

Facts have proved that even an old emperor, if he is not the supreme one, would find it difficult to defeat the opponent.

The same is true for Kenichi Mitsuba, not to mention that the other party is in his prime and computers are also at their peak.

"The situation is not good."

Zhan Lang and Sanye Kenichi, who were playing against each other, both frowned and looked at the chessboard, and both felt in their hearts that the situation on the chessboard was not good.

After all, the situation has come to this point. In their opinion, it is not a good situation if they do not gain an advantage.

Move 138, White chess, break and clamp!

With this move, Kenichi Mitsuba seized the last large field on the chessboard, and at the same time attacked the Wuyou corner in the lower right corner of Zhan Lang.

Naturally, Sanye Kenichi hopes that Zhan Lang will obediently make up for it in the corner. In this way, it will be good for both of us, as it is equivalent to him seizing the big opportunity first, which is naturally a very satisfying situation.

If it really becomes the ideal picture in my mind, I will basically win this game.

However, Zhan Lang, who had always thought that his situation was not good, naturally had no mood to make up for the loss at this time. He turned around and went directly to the upper right corner.

Move 139, Black chess, pull!

This is also a huge move.

Seeing that Zhan Lang was unwilling to make up for the loss, Sanye Kenichi naturally did not hesitate and went straight into Zhan Lang's Wuyou Corner.

“Is this going to be a transformation?”

At this time, all the Chinese and Japanese chess fans who were watching the game outside were nervous.

The situation on the field seemed to have not been able to be improved. Both sides were always in a tense state, and even the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Ye Qing looked at the chess record and shook his head: "If Sanye Jianyi grows upwards and Zhan Lang attacks and captures the chess pieces, then the black pieces in the middle below will become thicker, and Sanye Jianyi's potential in the middle will be directly destroyed. Naturally, he will not accept it."

It seems that the conversion can be made below, but the conversion must be initiated by Kenichi Mitsuha. However, the result after the conversion is that Kenichi Mitsuha suffers a disadvantage.

How could he sacrifice himself for the benefit of others and let Zhan Lang enjoy the benefits for nothing?

Therefore, the transformation that can be seen at a glance will not appear at all.

However, Kenichi Mitsuba, who was in the game, did not just think so. Like Zhan Lang, Kenichi Mitsuba felt that his situation was not good.

Although Kenichi Mitsuba is a very conservative chess player, he always uses the same openings. He often uses the star and small eye openings when playing with white. His style of "responding to changes with the same attitude" is a silent expression: "I am the strongest, and you can do whatever you want."

But when the situation really gets bad, Kenichi Mitsuba will not be humble when he wants excessive demands.

And when Zhan Lang didn't make up for it, Sanye Kenichi felt that it was an opportunity for him to win.

Move 146, White chess, long!

But another piece grows to the left!

Kenichi Mitsuba's meaning was very clear.

Convert?

Do not!
The corners are mine, and the sides are mine too!
But how could such a thick piece of chess created by Zhan Lang be easily eaten by Sanye Kenichi? Instead, it was brought to life by Zhan Lang.

Kenichi Mitsuba's idea of ​​providing all the food and accommodation was declared bankrupt, and it turned out that being too greedy was not a good idea.

"No, now the black pieces have no way to launch an attack."

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Kenichi Mitsuba couldn't help but grab his hair. The basic situation on the chessboard had become a situation where Zhan Lang had the advantage. If the game continued like this, he would lose the game.

But there is no other way. If we force an attack now, it will be no different from looking for a shooting ground.

When playing Go, one side will eventually face defeat. In this situation, the side facing defeat and unable to reverse the situation will not be willing to admit defeat, and will finally find a weak point of the opponent and fight hard. Although there is almost no chance of winning when the opponent sees clearly, in order to finally see clearly, the side will also test whether the opponent can see clearly.

It is said to be a surrender, but in fact it is very complicated. It’s just that for professional chess players, the chances are slim. What I mean is that I will admit defeat only if you can respond correctly, otherwise, haha.

Of course, once the opponent correctly responds to the shot, it will basically turn a small loss into a big defeat.

However, for professional players, it makes no difference whether they lose by half a point or by having the big dragon killed. Failure is failure.

So sometimes it is better to take a chance. Sometimes, what many people think is a move of investment may become a brilliant move that determines the outcome of the entire game.

You see the AI ​​says it's over, but when you make your move yourself, you can only kill the Baron.

However, Kenichi Mitsuba is not the kind of chess player who fights desperately. When he sees that it is not easy to attack, he simply does not charge, but continues to finish and wait for the opportunity.

And the opportunity soon arrived.

Move 191, Black chess, long!

Seeing this move, Lin Hongshu, the ninth dan who was explaining at the Kansai Chess Institute, couldn't help but sigh: "Zhan Lang has made a good plan. I'm afraid that Sanye Kenichi will lose this game."

How to say it? Although Lin Hongshu and other people from the Kansai Chess Institute wish that they could not win a single game in the Japanese Chess Institute's competition, it would be best if they could lose all the players as soon as possible so that Kansai can rise and establish its orthodox status.

However, the height of this China-Japan Go competition has risen to the level of national and state honor in both countries. To some extent, Kenichi Mitsuba's loss is a shame for the whole of Japan, and it is no longer limited to the Go circle.

So out of national honor, Lin Hongshu still holds his nose and feels that it would be better for Japan to win the game.

Of course, the most important thing is that if Zhan Lang wins, Lin Hongshu will still have to get up in the middle of the night and slap himself twice. Why didn’t he make this investment two and a half years ago!
If the other party had been drugged and tied up, would this honor now belong to the Lin family of Kansai Chess Institute?

I can’t think about it. The more I think about it, the more I can’t sleep in the middle of the night!
"If Sanye Jianyi stays here, Zhan Lang can send out the following piece, stick, charge, dig, eat, and stick."

The Japanese ninth dan player who was explaining the market couldn't help but break out in a sweat when he saw this move.

It seems that Zhan Lang’s next plan of charging from above will not work, because any professional can see that he will be killed directly if he charges from this side.

After all, it's impossible that someone can't even count the number of conscripts, right?
But Zhan Lang can attack directly from below. If Sanye Kenichi sticks to him, Zhan Lang can also stick to him from below.

Zhan Lang also has a sharp backdoor and means of robbery, and these two means are crucial.

If Sanye Jianyi only destroyed the eye, Zhanlang only needed to make a simple move on the upper piece, and the white piece below Sanye Jianyi would not be able to escape, and Zhanlang would immediately have a chance of winning. Even if Sanye Jianyi rescued the white piece below, Zhanlang could still make a big dragon if he was more conservative, and at this time the black dragon had exactly two eyes.

Big dragon, big dragon, two eyes.

Once this big dragon comes to life, the game of chess will be over.

The Japanese ninth dan who was explaining the game could not help but sigh when he saw this.

In his opinion, this 191st move was already Zhan Lang’s declaration of victory.

However, Kenichi Mitsuba, who was counting down, did not think so when he saw this move.

A victory declaration?
Remember, the closer you are to victory, the closer you are to death.

Move 192, White chess, sharp!

Seeing this move, Zhan Lang was stunned in mid-air for a moment when he held the chess piece, and then cold sweat broke out on his body in an instant.

I didn't see this coming!
After missing a move, the declaration of victory turned into a defeat?
Compared to the ordinary response that Zhan Lang had imagined from the opponent before, Sanye Kenichi's tip has an additional means of pounce!

If I had grown normally, I would have been in crisis.

Because at this time, when Zhan Lang sticks to him from below, Sanye Kenichi can go directly to the top and break the eye.

When Zhan Lang sets up another eye, Sanye Kenichi can directly pick up the piece, and then rush in to rob Zhan Lang.

Unlike the previous robbery, Zhan Lang didn't care at all even if a few pieces died after the robbery was defeated, and it could even be said that it was no big deal.

But this robbery is directly related to the life and death of the big dragon.

Although Zhan Lang has his own calamity, there is no doubt that the burden of this calamity is too heavy.

If he fails, Zhan Lang will face a failed end.

In this kind of weight competition, to some extent, the winning rate of artificial intelligence is no longer important.

"Counterattack in desperate situation."

Although Takemiya Masahei felt that Mitsuba Kenichi could play so badly when the situation was so good before, he did not expect that Mitsuba Kenichi could find a way to counterattack in the current desperate situation.

After all, even I couldn't see this move in the short period of time when both sides were counting down.

Mitsuba Kenichi's chess talent had always been considered the best...

I still don't accept it.

Takemiya Masahei couldn't help but curl his lips, but no matter what, winning this game was good news for Japan.

The pressure is now on Zhan Lang's side. Both sides have entered the countdown. In the current situation, the game that was originally a complete victory has been reversed. Both the physical and psychological burdens are extremely heavy.

Zhan Lang had to calm his mind as the countdown sounded, and at the same time find the best way to get out.

Difficult!

The Japanese ninth dan player who was explaining the move outside couldn't help but sigh at Mitsuba Kenichi's top-notch and invincible strength when he saw this move.

And once again, I reiterate that sentence: the best cannot be defeated!
The situation was once again saved as both sides counted down, and now the pressure was on the Chinese players.

The declaration of victory turned into a declaration of death. Japan will definitely win this round. It will be difficult for China!

But nothing in this world is easy.

Zhan Lang slapped himself in the face to calm himself down, and then his brain quickly started calculating.

The original plan of eating from below is no longer feasible, so can the originally impossible plan of eating from above be successful?

This situation should be what someone is best at.

If it was him, where would he make this move? !

"Eight, seven, six... three, two..."

At the last moment of the countdown, Zhan Lang made his move.

Move 199, Black chess, damn!

Not to mention his opponent, Mitsuha Kenichi, after seeing Zhan Lang's move.

Whether it was the referee Shohei Takemiya, the Japanese 9th dan who was explaining the game, or the other top Japanese players who were also paying attention to this game, they were all equally confused.

Being alone in a place like this, you have no idea what the other party is trying to do.

The 199th move was in the middle of the white chess without any flaws, and it seemed to have completely left the main battlefield and was completely incomprehensible.

If this move was shown on a later live webcast, many people's first reaction would be that the scorekeeper made a mistake.

After all, in live broadcasts on the Internet, it is common for scorekeepers to regret their moves.

Sanye Jianyi is in the same situation now. He doesn't understand what the meaning of Zhan Lang's move is? If he sticks to him, won't the other party be damaged?

Just when Kenichi Mitsuba was about to make his move, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

No, if I had stuck to it, Zhan Lang could have rushed out and killed me, but because of this move and the cooperation, it played an unexpected role.

In fact, this move was to coordinate the escape of the three pieces below. It was a brilliant move in terms of timing, calculation and conception!

Zhan Lang made a final dig from above, and Sanye Kenichi was unable to break in.

And once he fails to break in, the life and death of his white dragon will also be a problem.

In this way, it becomes easier for Black to make moves in an instant.

How is it possible? How could he come up with such a move?
Kenichi Mitsuba couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out at all.

This step is too weird.

It shouldn't have been created by humans.

After one hundred and ninety-two moves, Sanye Kenichi thought he had reached a dead end, but then he saw a new way out.

Who would have known that after all the twists and turns, it would still be a dead end...

Zhan Lang prayed to the Chinese world champions, and what responded to him was the 2020 Peak Snail!

PS: Han Xiangchao, who defeated Xiaoshen in the LG Cup, was born in 1999 and became a professional player in 2018 at the age of 19. This reminds me of another legendary player in the Chinese Go world...

In 2017, Zhan Ying went to Chongyan Go Dojo in South Korea to study and played against Xin Chudan. In the first round, Zhan Ying Chudan defeated Han Xiangchao Chudan... (End of this chapter)
