After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"Black wins by seven and a half points."

"It shouldn't be."

"Too strange."

"It's really outrageous."

Kenichi Mitsuba looked at the chessboard with all the official pieces collected and fell into deep self-doubt.

Before the game, Kenichi Mitsuba really didn't think he would lose. In his opinion, if Chinese chess players want to break through to the top level, it is not only about technology but also about mentality.

Not to mention Kenichi Mitsuba, the entire Japanese Go community didn't think Zhan Lang could get over this hurdle so quickly.

But how did I lose?
Because you were forced into a situation you were not good at from the beginning?
But the exchange that Zhan Lang made was obviously a huge loss. The opponent had a disadvantageous start, so how could I let him win?

How did Zhan Lang make that move?

Leaving the main battlefield, a completely unknown step, became a winning strategy that no one noticed.

The final result was exactly as Zhan Lang said, the opponent won by seven and a half points.

How could one have predicted such a subtle outcome before the game?

Impossible?

Fake?
Am I still having a nightmare?
How could I possibly have such a nightmare?
Can't tell the difference? I really can't tell the difference!

After finishing this game of chess, Kenichi Mitsuba felt like his brain was like paste. He lay on the table in pain and grabbed his hair.

Sanye Jianyi felt that his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think at all. He could only keep repeating his self-doubting words mechanically.

"Won?"

Hao Qiang looked at the game results marked on the chess record that was sent to him and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Then he asked Ye Qing with some uncertainty.

Although the result of the game has appeared in front of him, Hao Qiang is still worried that he is dreaming.

Not to mention slapping himself, Hao Qiang didn't even dare to make any bigger movements, for fear of waking himself up from his sweet dream.

Ye Qing nodded when he heard this. The gap in the situation was already very obvious in the endgame stage. At that time, Ye Qing knew that Zhan Lang would definitely win, it was just a matter of how much he would win.

At that time, Ye Qing had already told Hao Qiang that the Chinese team won this round.

But Hao Qiang kept telling people not to be anxious, not to be anxious, until the last moment when the results came through. Hao Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the real results.

I probably wasn’t dreaming, but if I was, I hoped I wouldn’t wake up.

"Finally I won..."

Hao Qiang couldn't help but rub his eyes which felt like there was some sand in them. He now finally understood how life was like in Japan some time ago.

It's really despairing to have a huge mountain pressing down on your head.

No, the sense of oppression from Kenichi Mitsuba was definitely stronger than that from Fang Yuan, because he was directly forced into a desperate situation without even a little expectation or chance.

The fact that Japan's top-notch technology stands in the way of China is really despairing.

No matter what, Zhan Lang finally defeated Sanye Kenichi, and to some extent he completed his historical mission.

In two days, Zhan Lang will face Toya Masao. Whether he wins or loses, Hao Qiang feels that he can accept it.

Even if they lose this game, the myth of Japan's top-notch invincibility has been broken.

Hao Qiang believes that in just a few years, Chinese Go will be able to compete with Japan.

Ye Qing looked at Hao Qiang who was completely relaxed, and said, "Zhan Lang will definitely win the next round!"

"what?"

"Zhan Lang had never encountered a top-notch Japanese player before. The last player he defeated, Fujii Hideaki, was a pseudo-top-notch player to some extent. So although Zhan Lang did a lot of work before the game and had read their chess records thoroughly, he still didn't have a clear feeling or definition before facing them.

But this time, by defeating Kenichi Mitsuba in the competition, Zhan Lang really broke through a layer of window paper.

He completely understood what Japan's top-notch team was and what level their opponent was at, and that they were not invincible either.

Don’t underestimate this layer of window paper. Sometimes, once it is broken, it will be a qualitative leap.”

Just like in Zhan Lang’s previous life, there were many professional chess players who theoretically had the strength to be world champions, but for various reasons, they were unable to break through.

But once you break through this window paper and win the world championship, your strength will immediately take a leap forward.

For example, the famous Kazi brother, although he was very strong and consistently ranked among the top three in South Korea before winning the world championship, anyone could arrest him in China.

But after he won the world championship, except for the special prisons targeting him, it became much more difficult for most people to arrest him, although his chess was still very abstract.

The reason why his opponent had problems with his chess before was because he had never won the world championship and often lived in self-doubt. The harder he tried, the more his self-doubt deepened.

When playing chess, especially during crucial matches, you will feel tremendous pressure, and your performance may even get worse.

The same is true for Zhan Lang.

If he loses to Japan's top-notch players this time, it will not only be a loss of a game, but it will also be a shadow cast over him. The pressure will be doubled when he faces Japan's top-notch players in the future, and he will constantly doubt himself when making his moves.

Once it enters a vicious cycle, it is possible for it to become truly first-class fermented bean curd.

But this time it was different after winning. After jumping out of the well, he didn’t see the blue sky like a mayfly, but the sun rose directly into the sky.

Inside the game room, Zhan Lang looked at Sanye Kenichi who had been talking to himself and didn't say much. He just sat quietly in his seat.

With Kenichi Mitsuba's status, he would not be defeated even if he lost the title match, but this match was too important, because it was not only an individual competition, but also directly related to national honor.

It was like he failed in the Asian Games finals. He even had to be supported by others when he came out. He felt like he was completely collapsed.

The same goes for Masahei Takemiya. He can understand that the failure in this important duel is a blow to Kenichi Mitsuba, and he needs to digest it well.

As for how long it will take to digest it, that depends on Kenichi Mitsuba's own ability to adjust.

But at this time someone walked in, took a look at the two people sitting there, and finally whispered something in Wu Gong Zhengping's ear.

Wu Gong Zhengping nodded after hearing what the other party said, and then looked at the two people who had finished the game: "The outside asked you if you have finished reviewing the game. If you have finished, you can go to the place where the big board is explained to meet with the chess fans.

There are many people waiting for you in the big market explanation room. If you don’t go, I guess many people will not want to leave.”

Zhan Lang nodded when he heard this. Meeting with fans after the game is one of the important steps in modern Go competitions. He naturally had no reason to refuse, not to mention that it was arranged by the organizer.

But Kenichi Mitsuba did not answer. He still stared at the chessboard and talked to himself, without recovering from his mad state.

Takemiya Shohei looked at Sanye Kenichi who seemed to be possessed by a demon, and went up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "I told you to go meet the audience, stop nagging."

"I'm not going! Leave me alone! I'm not going!"

Kenichi Mitsuba, who was pulled out of his trance by Masahei Takemiya, suddenly became furious, scaring Zhan Lang who was sitting opposite him.

Looking at Kenichi Mitsuba, his hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was even gasping for breath.

Takemiya Masahei could only arrange to send Zhan Lang away first, and stay behind to comfort Mitsuha Kenichi.

Zhan Lang looked at Sanye Kenichi who was slumped in the chair again, and walked out of the room silently. But while walking on the road, Zhan Lang suddenly seemed to think of something and couldn't help laughing.

He seemed to suddenly understand why Emperor Qing smiled when he saw his son making Zhuang Mohan vomit blood and then leaving in Joy of Life.

It’s a pity that I can’t see the second part, it’s really dragging on.
