After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"Jump one!"

"Jump one!"

"Just one jump and there's hope!"

Inside the laboratory, Chen Long, a 9th dan player, couldn't help but jump up while watching the tenth match of the 2nd China-Japan Go Tournament on TV.

Looking at Wu Yuanming, the 9th dan, who was hesitating while holding the chess piece on the chessboard, Chen Long's heart was in his throat.

He couldn't help but shout even when watching the scenes on TV, wanting to remind Wu Yuanmin, the 9th dan, from an unknown distance away.

There is no way, it is the critical moment of the game.

This move by Wu Yuanmin, 9th dan, may even affect the direction of the entire China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament.

Naturally, Chen Long, the ninth dan, couldn't help but be excited.

In this game, Chinese chess player Wu Yuanmin maintained a leading advantage from the beginning, but his excessive move in the middle game directly led to a reversal of the situation.

After making this move and seeing his opponent's response, Wu Yuanmin realized it was too late.

There is no regret in making a move. You can only rely on yourself to think about how to save the situation.

Zhan Lang did find a good move in the laboratory that could barely minimize the losses, which was the jump that Chen Long had been shouting at the TV.

If Wu Yuanmin, the 9th dan, could make this move, the situation of this game could be barely maintained in a balance according to normal developments later on, and there would still be a chance in the endgame.

It's not that there is no possibility of victory.

However, Wu Yuanmin obviously did not think that this move could minimize the losses. Instead, he thought that he was at a great disadvantage and had to fight hard.

In the end, he chose to reluctantly switch with the black pieces, but the result after the switch was that he was clearly behind and there was no way to turn the situation around.

Although this result was within everyone's expectations, it was obviously not the situation that everyone wanted to see.

Looking at the chess records and the images on TV, the dean Chen Long sat down on the mat dejectedly.

Because he knew that China had lost this game...

As an outsider, Hao Qiang couldn't help but ask: "Does White still have a chance?"

Zhan Lang couldn't help but shook his head: "It's hopeless."

To be honest, given the current situation and the basically planned structure, even if the opponent is artificial intelligence, there is a 90% chance that Zhan Lao, who can beat eight world champions together with any eight-time champion, will not lose.

Simply put, there is no battlefield on the chessboard now. It seems that the game has not been completed yet, and there are even many positions left, but in fact there is no hope at all and there is nothing we can do.

The outcome has been completely determined.

It's out of play.

After hearing this, Hao Qiang lay down on the ground in a dejected manner, as if all his energy was drained out.

After all, he was full of confidence in this set before the game, especially when he heard all kinds of praise from everyone at the beginning, I felt that this set was definitely a sure win!

There was no way. In this game, Wu Yuanmin, the 9th dan, played very well at the beginning and maintained the advantage throughout the middle game. Who would have thought that he would lose the game with just one excessive move in the middle and late game.

This is how the world is. The more you expect something, the more suffocated you will feel from the feeling of despair.

It's no wonder that Chen Long and Hao Qiang lost their composure. The main reason is that the situation on both sides of this China-Japan Go Challenge was completely reversed compared to the first one.

Because the Chinese and Japanese sides proposed to use female pioneers, the final result of the first game was actually within the expectations of both sides. The Chinese female pioneers took the lead and won the first game with a good start!

Although the Japanese side was unhappy, it was actually within their expectations. After all, everyone knows the gap between Chinese and Japanese female chess players.

The Japanese female chess player in the first game was originally a discarded piece, used as a stepping stone to allow their young newcomers to play.

It's good to win, but if you lose, there's nothing to be too sad about.

Because Japan is placing its hopes on the second rising star, Morita 2nd Dan, and hopes that he can have a good performance.

However, Japan's calculations were obviously in vain. Morita, a young rising star who was highly expected by the Japanese side, was still defeated in the second game against the Chinese female chess player. The Chinese team got off to a super good start with two consecutive victories.

Many people even praised the layout of the female chess player pioneer by editor-in-chief Hao Qiang as a stroke of genius, which laid a solid foundation for the Chinese team to win the second championship! Adding one person and winning two games, this business can be said to be a huge profit.

However, the strength of Japanese Go should not be underestimated. The third Japanese player also won two games in a row. Lu Hao, a new Chinese player, also did not achieve any good results in his first appearance and was directly eliminated.

Japan tied the score at 2-2.

However, this also pushed the competition to a fierce level.

This 2-2 draw is completely different from the 1-1 duel between novices in some football games. It is a fight between masters with both sides going back and forth.

In the fifth game, the Chinese team once again defeated the Japanese team who had won two consecutive games.

In this situation, everyone is now thinking whether this round of the competition will finally return to its normal course and become a battle of offense and defense.

Japanese chess player Kobayashi, 8th dan, came on the court.

Four consecutive wins!
It seemed as if he had replicated Fang Yuan's results from the previous competition, and Japan's Kobayashi, the eighth dan, was unstoppable.

It seems that in a competition like a ring match, once someone starts running, he will be unstoppable like the Iron Train Man.

Before this game, the Japanese team only had its fourth player, but the Chinese team had only three players left out of the nine. It can be said that they were immediately in a state of emergency again.

This is also the reason why Chen Long remained so excited throughout this game.

Because if Wu Yuanmin, 9th Dan, wins this game, the Chinese team still has a chance to win.

Three versus five, there is a gap but it’s not a big problem.

But if you lose...

Then the Chinese team can only theoretically qualify for the 2nd China-Japan Go Tournament...

But in a competition like a ring match, as long as there is one person left, there is a possibility of winning in the end.

But if you just think about it, is this possibility really possible? Or is it just self-deception?
But there are always many regrets in this world. Wu Yuanmin played well for most of the game, but still failed at the critical moment.

After this match, only Fang Yuan and Zhan Lang are left.

There are still six people left in the Japanese team, and four of them are top-notch players. The pressure on the Chinese team is enormous.

At the chess forum in China, more than 300 people were squeezed into a venue that could theoretically accommodate only 200 people. It should have been extremely noisy, but at this moment it was also completely silent.

If you hadn’t seen this scene in person, many people probably wouldn’t believe that even breathing sounds could be heard in such an environment.

However, listening to Li Yiran's seven heavy-hearted explanations on the stage, the audience felt as if a stone was pressing on their hearts and they were unable to utter a word.

But in this situation, the only ones who could laugh were the two main players of the Japanese team, Kiyotaka Taguchi and Koichi Sakamoto.

But after all, it was on Chinese territory, and the two could only be happy in their hearts.

If I just laughed out loud, I was afraid that someone would see me and catch me and beat me up.

Later, when they saw that Wu Yuanmin, the 9th dan, was really powerless to save the situation, the two of them went to the toilet together under the pretext of going to the restroom. After making sure that all the squatting positions were empty, the two of them slapped their thighs and laughed wildly!
"Xiao Lin won! What a great victory!"

"There shouldn't be any surprises in Japan winning this time!"

"It's time to let China have a taste of what it's like to lose five games in a row! The last time we lost five games in a row, we were under so much pressure! This time, it's finally their turn to suffer the consequences!"

"But this time, Japanese chess fans finally understand our importance.

That's how it is. The players participating in the competition only need to devote themselves to the chessboard, follow orders, and play hard, but the people behind the scenes have a lot of things to consider. "

"Keep your expression on your face when you go out! According to an old Chinese saying, we should remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of us. Only in this way can we show Japan's composure in front of China!"

Kiyotaka Taguchi nodded when he heard this. That’s right, what is this?
Isn't this our normal expectation before the game?
After all, before the game, Katsuya Takenouchi said that he would not need to play on the field and would just be the one holding the whip.

Japan only needs to field one or more top-notch players to defeat the Chinese team directly.

Now, it’s just developing according to my own expectations!
