In fact, everyone thought it was a draw at this point.

This is something that everyone thinks is very certain, how can we say it?

Is this common sense?

Just like you drink water when you are thirsty and eat when you are hungry.

The cycle of three disasters means there is no victory or defeat.

This is an eternal truth in Go.

is the truth.

It is 100% certain and undeniable.

No matter you are a beginner amateur or a top player at the top of the Go pyramid, as long as you receive orthodox learning, you will not think there is anything wrong with this sentence.

Just like no one would question that people die when they are killed, isn't this a matter of course?

So when Kiyotaka Taguchi was informed in advance that this situation would happen, he was already preparing for the next match between the two after communicating with the Chinese representatives.

After all, this was an emergency. Should the TV station continue to broadcast the second game? Should the commentator be replaced? How should the referee handle these things? Should both sides keep the reserve time, or should they just go back to fast chess with only a countdown?

These are the places that need to be arranged.

And Kiyotaka Taguchi was also very anxious because he thought the game would soon end in a draw.

But at this moment, Zhan Lang fell into a strange pause and fell into a state of long thinking.

Because Zhan Lang had not yet made his move, the chessboard had not yet fully evolved into a situation of three disasters cycle.

Especially since neither side of the game raised their hands to express a problem, the referee could not directly rule that there was no winner, and could only sit by and wait quietly.

After all, Go is generally decided directly on the chessboard, and most of the time, if the problem can be solved in actual combat, no one will seek help from the referee.

As long as no one party raises an objection, or the contestants commit obvious fouls, the referee mainly acts as a tool and only judges the outcome in the end.

However, the referee of this competition was also a Japanese 9th dan. After looking at the chessboard and then at his watch, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Why are you still thinking about it?
Is there anything to think about in this situation?
It is not difficult to tell at a glance that the subsequent process of collecting energy will be a three-calamity cycle.

It's already so obvious, why are you just standing there?

Is your mentality so bad? It's pretty good that the whole game didn't collapse after a big spoon, but the three disasters cycled to a draw.

To put it bluntly, in Go, it is common every year for a player to be in a great advantage but make a wrong move and ruin the entire game, even in top professional matches.

You would think that in the top professional matches, the winning rate fluctuates without any ripples, just a smooth curve. Neither side has any bad players, and the victory is determined by pure strength.

A true top-level professional showdown, with a win rate chart like an electrocardiogram, and ninety points lost in one move.

If you can't even accept small things like this, it's hard to achieve great things.

The Japanese referee couldn't help but shook his head and lowered his opinion of Zhan Lang by one level.

With this kind of mentality, even if his strength improves, he can only be said to be pseudo-top-notch.

The Japanese team will definitely win this year!
While they were discussing re-matching outside, Zhan Lang, who was sitting in the game room, just looked at the chessboard.

Although if he played another game, Zhan Lang felt that he was completely ahead of Lin Hongshu in terms of physical strength and other aspects, and winning would not be a problem at all.

To some extent, the next game will definitely be very friendly to Zhan Lang.

But the problem is, Zhan Lang always feels as if this game doesn't necessarily have to be repeated, right?

If the gains from other places are great enough, it's not impossible to give up the three-calamity cycle, right?

It is impossible for a chess player who has received orthodox professional education to have such an idea, just as no one would question Newtonian mechanics hundreds of years ago.

The loss of abandoning the three-tribulation cycle can be said to be an unbearable pain in a game, otherwise the three-tribulation would not be raised by each other and no one would give in.

Giving up means losing directly. Is there any need to think about it?
But Zhan Lang just felt that way.

Maybe, by giving up, you can win.

Move 230, White, press!
Lin Hongshu was not surprised at all. He just thought that Zhan Lang was just trying to sort out his feelings. Without even thinking, he immediately followed suit.

Move 231, Black chess, pull.

Seeing this step, Zhan Lang breathed a sigh of relief and then shook his head.

It's over. After this step, Lin Hongshu is doomed.

Zhan Lang did not take action immediately, but pretended to gather his energy and continued to create materials for the disaster to paralyze Lin Hongshu.

Although Lin Hongshu felt that there was no point in making this move, it was already clear that there was no winner or loser on the entire chessboard.

However, it was not yet the stage of the three-calamity cycle, so Lin Hongshu could not just wave his hand to find the referee and continued to respond.

Anyway, Zhan Lang can waste time if he wants to, but it’s not my time that is wasted.

There is no need to think about what happens next, it’s just a simple process.

Move 243, Black chess, raise.

Lin Hongshu finally sighed when he saw the situation on the field. It had finally reached the three-disaster cycle, and the game could finally be over.

Lin Hongshu is now waiting for Zhan Lang to raise his hand again. After he symbolically raises it twice, he can directly raise his hand and let the referee decide that there is no winner.

It’s so tiring to play, but I still have to play another round later.

It really tests the physical strength of middle-aged people like us. I have to eat something to nourish the kidneys when I go home at night.

Move 246, White chess, stick!

Seeing this move, Lin Hongshu, who was about to make a move, suddenly froze?

Not mentioning robbery?
Instead, it stuck to Jie directly? !
What happened? !

"The chess records over there have been sent over."

The Japanese chess players in the research room had no interest in hearing the note. As early as when Zhan Lang was thinking, they had already laid out the changes they thought were inevitable: "There's nothing to see. Everything has been laid out. The referee has ruled that there is no winner in the three-disaster cycle."

Everyone is now thinking about the next game after the match is decided to be a draw, so they can finish the game early and go home early. "No."

The staff member who delivered the chess record obviously ran as fast as he could. Although the distance was not far, he was exhausted and out of breath.

After taking a deep breath, the staff member said, "Zhan Lang, give up the robbery!"

"Abandon the robbery? How is that possible!"

Kenichi Sanye was the first to raise doubts. It was not like everyone could see the threat on the field. If Zhan Lang dared to give up, the long string of white pieces in the middle of the board, including the big dragon, would be wiped out.

This kind of loss is irreversible anywhere, this is dozens of points! Not just a few points or one or two pieces.

If Zhan Lang gave up, the game would go from a winless situation to a dead end.

Unless he has a brain seizure, he can't do this.

Because it's suicide.

How is it possible that a top chess player would commit suicide when the situation is so clear?

fake news!

Definitely fake news!

But when the staff heard this, he directly handed over the chess record he had brought and repeated it again.

Really give up!
Katsuya Takenouchi stood up from his seat and snatched the chess record from the staff member.

The chess record clearly marked the battle, waves and robbery.

Katsuya Takenouchi didn't even need to look back at the chessboard, the image on the chessboard had already appeared in his mind.

If this is the case, the original three-calamity cycle will become a tight qi calamity.

Katsuya Takenouchi knew the result after a quick calculation. As long as Lin Hongshu got stuck, the central government would be in doom!

All the white pieces were eaten!
It was really eaten up!
"suicide?"

Katsuya Takenouchi looked at the chess record with an expression like a black question mark on his face.

Can this be abandoned?

At this time, the commentator on TV who was explaining the game also received the chess score, and he was stunned for a moment.

Then I couldn't help but start saying that I didn't know whether the Chinese chess player couldn't bear the blow or something, and actually chose a suicidal move.

Move 252, White chess, attack.

Although this is also a threat, Lin Hongshu cannot possibly agree to it.

Because he ate it again.

It's just half a chessboard!

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when watching the commentary on TV about taking away a large piece of white chess pieces in the center of the chessboard.

After all, all the white pieces on the left half of the chessboard were gone in an instant.

This kind of scene may not be seen once in several years. It is estimated that Lin Hongshu, the 9th dan player at the scene, could not even lift it with both hands.

Since becoming a professional 9th ​​dan, I may not have eaten such a fat dragon.

Move 250, White chess piece, raise.

At this time, many professionals already thought that Lin Hongshu had won.

After all, they took such a big dragon in one go, and half of the chessboard was completely swallowed up by black pieces. With such a big advantage, how could they lose?
There is no need to add extra games.

The Japanese team directly declared victory!

The Second China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament is over? !

Everyone can prepare for the 3rd China-Japan Go Challenge!
Just as all the nine dan players were getting ready to celebrate their victory, Katsuya Takenouchi, who was smiling, turned around and glanced at the chessboard on TV.

But as his brain worked, the smile on Katsuya Takenouchi's face suddenly disappeared, and he muttered something to himself.

"Not enough board?"

"what?"

Hearing this, the other professional players around couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I've already eaten up half the chessboard and still don't have enough space? Are you kidding me?

Katsuya Takenouchi, 9th dan, likes to tell jokes.

But at this time, Wu Gong Zhengping, who had been sitting in his seat and looking at the chessboard in front of him, couldn't help but take a breath: "Lin Hongshu can't make any points... He is even a little behind in terms of the board."

"How can it be."

Some of the ninth-level players always felt that this was a bit far-fetched, and some of them who didn't believe it started to click on it.

But in the end everyone discovered.

It’s really not enough…

This……

Isn't this wrong?

At this time, Lin Hongshu, the player, was also completely stunned.

I was very happy after I mentioned it.

But after careful calculation, I realized that I lost?!

No?

Is it that the Go God wants to frame me? !
