After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"What is the situation now?"

If we were to ask who is more anxious right now, no, it should be the most anxious, it would definitely be Kiyotaka Taguchi, who is the director in charge of this meeting.

Because the outcome of this game not only affects his career, but also affects whether today's plan can go smoothly.

Because at 4pm, the venue that was supposed to hold the closing ceremony had already called Taguchi Kiyotaka to urge him to give a decision: "Please decide quickly whether the evening meeting will be a closing ceremony or a forum, otherwise it will be too late to prepare."

What is hanging now is the banner for the closing ceremony, but if it is not confirmed, what will it mean when the Chinese win and come over to see this scene?
Is it to humiliate others? Or is it to slap yourself in the face?
I am afraid that someone will write a letter to complain about the great power chauvinism in the Japanese Go community, and tomorrow the sponsors and the Go academy officials will have to bow and apologize.

So no matter what happens, Kiyotaka Taguchi must give a definite result, otherwise our company as the sponsor will not be blamed!
So Kiyotaka Taguchi could only run to the game room to ask the opinions of the top professionals watching the game.

Although Kiyotaka Taguchi is barely at a professional level, he has been offline for many years. Go is at most an ordinary hobby for him. At most, he plays more games than a certain anchor, but his level has long since dropped.

Kiyotaka Taguchi himself did not dare to trust his own dim eyes and could only rely on the judgment of others to make decisions.

But the answer that Kiyotaka Taguchi had always gotten before was.

"Wait."

"Maybe there will be a turnaround for Toya Masao 9th Dan!"

"It will take at least half an hour to see the results, so there should still be hope."

After receiving such an ambiguous answer, Taguchi Kiyotaka could only call again to buy time: "I'll give you an answer in half an hour at most!"

But now, who knows how much time has passed, and Kiyotaka Taguchi has been delaying again and again. The sponsor is furious and can't delay any longer, so Kiyotaka Taguchi can only go in again to inquire.

But as soon as he walked in, he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The discussion room, which was once very lively, was now almost silent, and even the sound of the person from the Chinese delegation writing could be heard nearby.

Feeling the depressing atmosphere in the laboratory, Kiyotaka Taguchi had a bad feeling in his heart.

No, that feeling has already arrived!

Taguchi Kiyotaka patted the ninth-dan chess player closest to the door and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"White has an advantage of more than 20 points on the board, and the overall situation is solid."

The ninth dan player spoke in a very tactful way and did not say it explicitly at all, but anyone who knows how to play Go could understand that his words were no different from a death sentence.

Taguchi Kiyotaka still had some hope after hearing this: "Does Toya Masao 9th Dan still have a chance to turn things around?"

After all, theoretically, even if they were all dead, they might bite back and kill each other? Could they all be resurrected?
Wu Gong Zhengping felt a little helpless when he heard this: "Let me put it this way, you go up now and replace Zhan Lang, I will vote for you!"

The current situation is so desperate!

Unless another veteran warrior comes to the rescue now, Toya Masao 9th Dan will have no hope of winning.

Fujii Hideaki also laughed beside him, and his expression clearly agreed with Takemiya's opinion.

I just don’t know how much happiness there is in the other person’s smile, or is he using the smile to hide his sadness?
Seeing this, Kiyotaka Taguchi knew that there was really no hope for Masao Toya, 9th Dan, to win, so he had to immediately ask Sakamoto to notify the hall to change the closing ceremony into a meeting.

However, another director, Koichi Sakamoto, was still a little hesitant, but Kiyotaka Taguchi's words were already tearful: "The meeting starts at 6:30 pm, and it's already past 5 pm, so do we still have time to wait?"

If this thing fails, Japanese Go will lose all its face.

I am the main person in charge and I will be the one to take the blame!

At this time, Koichi Sakamoto came up with an idea and called the people at the club directly to ask, "If we tear down the three words 'Closing Ceremony' first and then paste the three words again, how long will it take?"

The staff at the club calculated and said, "About twenty minutes."

Sakamoto immediately made the decision: "Okay, I will call you on time before six o'clock. Please be on standby at any time."

It can be seen that as a die-hard conservative of the Japanese Go community, Sakamoto Koichi still hopes for a miracle to happen. But unfortunately, the reason why a miracle is called a miracle is because it does not exist.

Move 156, White, sharp!

After seeing this move, 9th Dan Toya Masao placed two chess pieces in the lower right corner of his side of the board.

Throw in the towel and admit defeat.

He is not a Korean chess player. He cannot win the game with a difference of 20 or 30 points. This is really a shame.

The education that Masao Toya received would not allow him to do such a thing. Rather than doing this, he might as well admit defeat.

In fact, everyone had already seen that the outcome was decided before.

However, none of the Japanese chess players in the laboratory left. After receiving the news of the end of the game, almost everyone rushed into the game room to watch the two players' replay.

And I also want to see what kind of power this Chinese chess player can display?

When the honest Toya Masao saw Fujii Hideaki sitting next to him, he whispered to him, "I'm sorry! I'll have to trouble you with everything from now on!"

After the ninth dan Toya Masao came out, Fujii Hideaki became the last line of defense exposed to Chinese artillery fire.

Fujii Hideaki saw that Toya Masao looked apologetic and tired, and comforted him, "You have tried your best."

We really can't blame 9th Dan Toya Masao, we can only say that Zhan Lang played really well in this game.

It is so good that it can only be described as perfect.

Then everyone started to review the game, and everyone confirmed that in this game, Masao Toya, 9th Dan, had basically no chance of winning, which could be said to be a complete victory for Zhan Lang.

Wu Gong Zhengping couldn't help but pat Zhan Lang on the shoulder: "You deserve to win this round."

It’s not that Toya Masao didn’t show his strength, it’s just that Zhan Lang was too strong.

After these two games, there is one more top-notch player in the world.

And it is a top-notch Chinese product that has nothing to do with Japan.

The world Go landscape is about to change!
The two people from the Chinese delegation stood outside the door and did not go in, because Hao Qiang was trying to calm himself down, fearing that he was laughing too loudly.

After all, if you laugh so loudly in Japan, you may get beaten.

When the Japanese side expressed their intention to host the China-Japan Go Challenge, Hao Qiang immediately urged that the competition must be held. No matter what the result is, the competition must be held!
However, many opponents hold different opinions, believing that the gap between the Go strength of China and Japan is too great, and holding such a competition is purely a thankless task and will only lead to humiliation.

Some people have commented that Hao Qiang is "ambitious" and only considers results without considering reality, but in fact Hao Qiang has deep national feelings.

He has always simply believed that Go was invented in China, and it is only a matter of time before the Chinese, with their profound cultural heritage, surpass the Japanese in Go.

Therefore, Hao Qiang has always been unrealistically optimistic about the exchange of Go between China and Japan, especially when the national players set their goals for the challenge matches and set defeating Kenichi Mitsuba as the "ultimate goal" of the greatest success. Although Hao Qiang did not say it at the time, he was always "uneasy" in his heart.

Could it be that Chinese Go doesn’t even dare to set a goal of defeating Japanese Go? !

So when Zhan Lang defeated Kenichi Mitsuba, Lao Hao really hoped that Zhan Lang could defeat Masao Toya again.

Lao Hao knew that Chinese Go needed this victory very much. It would not only bring about a qualitative change in the comparison of strength between China and Japan, but also build a rainbow of hope for the victory of this challenge match.

And now, this rainbow has appeared on the horizon!

This is a colorful rainbow!

How beautiful!
It's so beautiful that it's unbelievable.
