After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"..."

Looking at the shape formed in the lower right corner of the chessboard, 9th Dan Toya Masao's brows furrowed instantly. As a top-notch player, he has the most basic sensitivity.

Although he had never seen this shape before, and although it was the first time he saw this chess piece, but just by seeing it for the first time, 9th Dan Masao Toya was completely certain that this would form an extremely complex and large-scale change in the future.

The point 33 that was unacceptable to everyone in Japan actually formed an extremely complicated flying knife change in the subsequent process.

And with just a rough calculation, 9th Dan Taiya Masao can be sure that this is a variation that is definitely not inferior to Japan's three major complex routines.

Whether he can surpass the Demon Swords Daisiya and Avalanche, even Toya Masao Kyudan has no way of knowing for sure.

Ninth Dan Toya Masao couldn't help but look up at Zhan Lang who was sitting opposite him. The other party was only in his early twenties, but he could already work out such complicated routine variations?

Shouldn't it be that only after a long period of accumulation can quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes?
How could Zhan Lang accumulate so much at his age to produce a qualitative change? How is this possible?

In fact, nothing is impossible. The professional strength of the Japanese Go community can be said to be quite strong nowadays. After all, competitions between China and South Korea are very rare compared to Japan.

But compared with the amount of training in the future, it can only be said to be dwarfed by the big one.

After the birth of the Internet age, online chess came into being. A large number of professional chess players can play games directly on the Internet without meeting each other, which greatly facilitates personnel training.

There are even people who can play nearly a thousand online professional games a year. Such a terrifying number will inevitably give rise to higher quality.

This is why the 90s generation could easily sweep the previous generation into the trash.

Because whether it is the high-intensity training method in the dojo from childhood to adulthood, or the extremely high training volume growing up in the Internet age, they are incomparable to the chess players of the last century.

When the chess players of the 1990s generation were 16 or 17 years old, they felt that the players of the previous generation who were nearly 30 years old were all rubbish and should be thrown into the garbage dump of history as soon as possible.

Although Zhan Lang does not have online chess to play, he can call upon various national players at any time in the system space to practice with him.

In just a few years, Zhan Lang's accumulation was definitely not worse than that of some people who came later. In particular, Zhan Lang learned ideas and strategies that transcended time.

In addition, after the start of the world series, with the assistance of artificial intelligence, Zhan Lang felt that his level, which had been stagnant, had improved again.

There is no end to chess!

Although 9th Dan Toya Masao was very confused, he had no way of knowing whether this was Zhan Lang's personal research or the collective research of the Chinese team.

Because there is no time to think about this during the game, and I have already wasted too much time on this complex choice.

Looking at the rising battle wave, 9th Dan Taiya Masao couldn't help but fall into a long period of thinking, because he could feel that if he made a wrong move here, there would be danger from which there would be no recovery.

This guy Zhan Lang really prepared a flying knife for himself.

Moreover, the complexity of this flying knife may not be inferior to the demon sword and the large slanted flying knife.

The three-three move, which was not accepted by the Japanese Go community, could actually lead to such a complex variation later on...

Not to mention Masao Toya, no one in Japan would have imagined that a common move like point 33 could lead to such a change in the future.

After thinking about a few variations casually, Toya Masao Kudankou felt that the complexity of this part might cause problems in the response to this competition.

The first reaction of Toya Masao, 9th Dan, was to pull it upwards, and then various complex variation diagrams appeared in Toya Masao's mind.

Can’t figure it out!
It's not even clear!
There are too many changes and they are too complicated. Even if you use up all the time in the game, you still won't be able to come up with much if you rely on your own brain.

And even if you play in the correct order, it will still take a lot of time.

This is the horror of flying knives. If you are caught by a flying knife without prior preparation and you make a mistake, you will be doomed. Even if you make the right move, it will still waste a lot of your time.

Well, if you can deal with the flying knives thrown at you by your opponent quickly and well without any preparation, then there is really nothing to say.

Invincible! I give in!
Your opponent has nothing to say except to knock you down.

But it is obvious that 9th Dan Toya Masao does not think he can reach such a terrifying level of speed and quality, especially with the complexity of this change.

If I really push myself up, the biggest possibility I will face is eternal damnation!

Therefore, we cannot choose complex changes, we must finish this part as simply as possible.

"No, I have to find a way to finish this in the simplest way..."

The 30th move, White chess, sticky.

It's not surprising to see Toya Masao choose to stick to the Nine-stage Battle Wave. The common way to deal with it here is to pull it up directly, but sticking is not a big problem, it just avoids many complicated changes later.

To a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with the choice made by 9th Dan Toya Masao in this game.

After all, when facing a flying knife, he certainly wouldn't dare to run headlong into it, and most people wouldn't be so stubborn.

The subsequent branches of Mi's Flying Dagger can be said to be ever-changing. Any choice may lead to an unknown future. Even artificial intelligence has no limit to its changes.

Even with the assistance of artificial intelligence, Zhan Lang did not dare to say that he had fully understood the changes of this flying knife during this period of time. He might not even have researched half of the changes of this flying knife.

However, 9th Dan Toya Masao needed to think about this part, but Zhan Lang didn't need to do that at all.

Because long before the game started, Zhan Lang already knew the basic changes of this flying knife.

Zhan Lang was certain that based on his own research, it would be impossible for Toya Masao to escape.

Whatever you can calculate during the game, I can know in advance, and artificial intelligence will give me the best way to deal with it.

I can calculate everything you can, and I can also calculate things you can't. How can you beat me? !
I've already won before the battle even began!

Move 31, Black chess piece, stand!

When the ninth dan Toya Masao saw the battle wave that had been chosen, he did not hesitate at all and directly broke through.

Although he knew that this flying knife was extremely dangerous, if he was timid, he might be killed even more miserably.

Zhan Lang didn't hesitate at all and chose to attack and eat directly.

Seeing Zhan Lang coming up to eat him directly, Toya Masao 9th Dan couldn't help but frown.

After all, according to his original idea, Zhan Lang should probably set up his base further out. After all, the three seeds that could be eaten by him in the corner would be obviously bigger.

However, 9th Dan Toya Masao also knew that if Zhan Lang played like this, his white pieces would have more room to maneuver on the periphery.

Zhan Lang's current choice obviously means that he doesn't want to keep it for himself to borrow. Although it will cause a little loss to him, it will also be a big loss to himself.

After Toya Masao 9th Dan made the move, Zhan Lang did not hesitate to capture the two pieces directly. Compared with the changing diagram in Toya Masao's mind, the number of points might be a little inferior, after all, Toya Masao 9th Dan might still be able to escape back to the piece on the second road.

But in this way, the borrowing of the outer periphery of Toya Masao's 9th dan position completely disappeared.

Ninth Dan Toya Masao looked at the classic exchange of external forces and actual conditions, then looked at the small black piece that was cut off from his own chess shape, and continued to think.

Although it seemed that the crisis of the flying knife was temporarily resolved for him, Toya Masao felt that it was not completely over yet.

Because it was a Japanese competition, and even half of the participants were Japanese players, everyone played very slowly.

Although Toya Masao spent a lot of time on this flying knife, because Zhan Lang basically knocked it down in seconds, their number of steps was not small in all the games.

However, when he looked at the nearly one hour he had spent on the battle clock and the five minutes left on it, Toya Masao, 9th Dan, couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Although when playing chess with this guy Zhan Lang, often after you enter the countdown, Zhan Lang still has a lot of time reserved, which has happened many times in the ring competition.

However, it is rare for such a big gap to appear at the very beginning. 9th Dan Toya Masao felt that he needed to adjust his timing and speed up.

Otherwise, with such a huge time difference, problems will easily arise in the second half of the game.

After thinking for a long time, 9th Dan Toya Masao decided to attack the black piece that was cut off from below. After the battle wave grew out, 9th Dan Toya Masao flew out directly without any hesitation.

Looking at the Mi Dao that had basically formed its pattern, Zhan Lang couldn't help but scratching his chin.

This guy, Masao Toya, 9th dan, actually chose the simplest way to deal with it. I originally thought that Masao Toya, 9th dan, was so powerful that he should have directly challenged me.

The changes that followed were no longer complicated. Either Masao Toya would be stabbed to death by himself, or he might be able to barely maintain the situation, but in the end he found that his reserve time had run out.

Once Mi Dao had finished his moves, a quarter of the board would be finalized, his reserved time would be up, and his opponent would still have more than two hours. It was estimated that by that time, 9th Dan Toya Masao would not be in the mood to continue playing.

To some extent, Masao Toya, the ninth dan, avoided his own most horrific ending, but he missed contributing a classic game.

Pity.

Masao Toya, 9th dan, does not have the selfless spirit of the former world number one player next door.

Zhan Lang looked at the flying white pieces and understood the intention of Toya Masao, the 9th dan, and was trying to capture his two black pieces.

Of course you have to escape, the question is how.

tsk...

Do you think the exchange is over now?

This flying knife is not over yet!

The 39th move, black chess, Xiaofei!
You fly, I fly too! Let's fly together!

Looking at the battle wave flying directly outside, Toya Masao 9th Dan couldn't help but frowned.

His first feeling was that Chongduan and Zhanlang would fight directly.

This is also the consistent style of the Killing Star, 9th Dan Toya Masao. If I don't kill you to pieces, how can I be called the Killing Star?

However, according to the calculations and changes in Toya Masao's mind, once this area is broken through, extremely complex operations will occur, which will be the subsequent extension of this flying knife.

I have already spent a lot of time on the corner. Once complex changes are formed here, it will definitely take a lot of time.

Moreover, Zhan Lang was obviously well prepared. He might have been aware of the changes in the battle here and had already prepared for the conflict in advance.

No matter how you calculate, you will suffer the loss.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You can't fight him directly here.

If you try your best now, you may not win.

Just bear with him for now!
Thinking of this, 9th Dan Toya Masao chose to make a tiger move at the bottom.

Seeing this, Zhan Lang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He didn't think that 9th Dan Toya Masao would be able to fail to see this breakthrough. This was not difficult at all. The difficult part was the subsequent changes.

But doesn't the complex battle that followed the breakup perfectly fit the style of 9th Dan Toya Masao?

Shouldn't you have A'd right away when you saw this?

You actually avoided the fight?

Zhan Lang couldn't help but feel a little confused. He thought that Toya Masao 9th Dan would avoid the fight, especially since Toya Masao 9th Dan had chosen to fight back before, and it was obvious that he wanted to fight with his two black pieces.

This is as strange as when Daigu saw the monster appear and immediately turned into Ultraman, but after taking a look at the monster, he turned around and flew away.

How can you become Ultraman if you don't even fight?

The contrast between his attitude before and after is so great that his way of thinking about chess is a bit strange.

But if you avoid this area, you will suffer losses.

Since Toya Masao 9th Dan was cowardly, Zhan Lang would naturally make further demands. The 41st move, Black chess, stick!

Toya Masao, the ninth dan, followed closely and the battle wave immediately grew upwards.

Looking at the growing black pieces, Masao Toya, who had taken the initiative, couldn't help but start thinking while looking at the chessboard.

If you want to be safe at this time, you should honestly make a move on the right side, so that the white chess piece can be left empty on the right side.

But, Zhan Lang, what is the price?
The price is that the battle wave will turn directly out in the center, and the white pieces below will become thinner.

9th Dan Toya Masao couldn't help but shake his head, and was not satisfied with the subsequent changes of this basic move.

Because in this case, your advantage will not be that great, and there may even be some minor problems.

Toya Masao, the ninth dan, couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. He should have rushed out and fought with Zhan Lang just now. It would have been better than being so frustrated now.

But there is no way. This is how Go works. Once you make a move, you cannot regret it. You don’t know when to be tough and when to be timid. A slight difference in your thinking may lead to a world of difference in the subsequent progress.

Now, 9th Dan Toya Masao can only find other ways to take advantage.

After thinking for a while, 9th Dan Toya Masao did not choose to make another move on the right, but continued to press forward in the center.

What Masao Toya, 9th dan, is now pursuing is higher efficiency.

If Zhan Lang continues to respond to him, he will go back to the right to make up for it. At this time, even if Zhan Lang turns around, the severity will not be as good as before.

But seeing that Toya Masao 9th Dan continued to press forward, Zhan Lang couldn't help but make a tactical lean back and directly pushed his bangs back.

Are you taking advantage of me?

Did you play too much in Japan? Do you think I'm as cowardly as those Japanese chess players? How can I tolerate this?

I have always been the one taking advantage of others, how could others take advantage of me?

It is simply a rebellion against Tiangang!

Zhan Lang attacked without any hesitation!

Looking at Zhan Lang who was attacking him directly, 9th Dan Toya Masao couldn't help but sigh. He knew that these Chinese guys just didn't want to be bullied.

If it were an ordinary Japanese chess player, he might choose to endure it.

Why won't you let me take advantage of you?

Masao Toya, the ninth dan, first suppressed Zhan Lang from above, and finally chose to work directly on the spot below.

Zhan Lang was not surprised to see the tiger-like player Masao Toya making a move right on the spot. However, if it were him, he would definitely try to run outside and contact the white pieces above.

After all, if you work on the spot, you are likely to hurt yourself.

Once it becomes thicker, 9th Dan Toya Masao will inevitably face new crises.

The fact is exactly as Zhan Lang thought. Although Toya Masao's ninth dan piece was alive on the spot, after Zhan Lang's right side became thicker, the five white pieces on the top came into Zhan Lang's attack range.

Zhan Lang did not hesitate at all and started to dismantle it directly. He was not only expanding his own base, but also invading the opponent's base.

It is obvious that the 9th dan Taiya Masao has already felt that the situation is not going well.

Although he had formed a huge external force, the star position in the lower left corner was extremely empty.

If Zhan Lang had hung in directly from below, there would be absolutely no problem for him to come out alive. But once the opponent came out alive, the power of his external force would be greatly reduced.

After all, nothing is thicker than a living chess piece.

Under such hedging, how much of one's external forces can be exerted suddenly becomes an unknown.

Move 62, White, press!

It was obvious that Toya Masao, the ninth dan, was preparing to take the initiative and make preparations for the formation below, and Zhan Lang did not hesitate at all.

Move 63, Black chess, two-way tip!

Directly destroy the eye position of Toya Masao 9th Dan, Toya Masao 9th Dan must be stuck.

Looking at the shapes on the chessboard, Zhan Lang knew that he had been accumulating strength for such a long time, and it was time to exert his strength!
Move 65, Black chess, break and attack!
When Masao Toya, the 9th dan, stuck to Zhan Lang and attacked again, Masao Toya, the 9th dan, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If I run away at this time, Zhan Lang will definitely continue to rush forward without hesitation. If I keep running away and rushing forward, all the white pieces in the upper right corner of my chess will be eaten by Zhan Lang.

How many meshes does this have?
Seventy? Eighty?
Thinking of this, Toya Masao, the 9th dan, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

too big!
Zhan Lang couldn't help but shook his head as he looked at the current situation. He also saw the same changes in the future, but in his opinion, it was impossible for Masao Toya, the ninth dan, to make such a choice.

This choice is really too advanced. Even if I were sitting opposite him, I might not be able to be so cruel.

Even if you know that this may be the best option, it is difficult to make such a move.

You must have great courage and deep calculations to succeed.

This is like asking you to invest all your bad assets in the stock market now and gamble on an uncertain future.

Once there is not enough gain below, such loss will be unbearable.

Just as Zhan Lang had expected, 9th Dan Toya Masao could not bear to do such a cruel thing.

Move 68, White, Xiao Fei.

Masao Toya, 9th dan, began to escape the white pieces above.

Even though the work up there is hard, people are still alive. No one would be willing to accept the thought of sending a large number of people to their deaths just to gamble on an illusory future down there.

Non-performing assets are still assets even when they are non-performing, so the future of the stock market is a little too uncertain.

Zhan Lang did not hesitate at all and directly made the pattern in the center.

Whether in terms of mood or actual benefits gained, Zhan Lang can be said to be extremely happy.

There is no way. Even beginners know that the central jacquard has thirty points. Just by jacquard a flower, the heart of the 9th dan player Toya Masao must be bleeding.

Zhan Lang even had a feeling that even if he ate up all of Toya Masao's ninth dan in the upper right corner, it might not be worth this one flower, because he might be of great use later.

In this game, Zhanlang's win rate against artificial intelligence has risen to more than 90%, while Toya Masao's win rate is less than 10%.

This is a technique in the traditional terminology of Go.

It’s called, solitaire!
Of course, this is the opinion of artificial intelligence. If it were me, you would basically have no chance in this area.

But humans are humans after all, and large-scale fluctuations are likely to occur no matter what the situation is.

Especially when the opponent is fighting decisively, the party with the advantage will sometimes feel that why should I fight with you desperately, how can I win the game if I fight desperately, and finally be overturned.

It is also possible that the board is too complicated. Artificial intelligence can calculate the subsequent moves, but humans often cannot see the key step.

It is even possible that one side may appear to be doing well in the eyes of the AI ​​for most of the game, but after losing in the end, without looking at the AI, he feels that he was dominated by the opponent for the entire game and had no chance to fight back at all.

Therefore, the winning rate of AI is always the same as that of AI itself. It can only be used as a reference. If you believe it completely, then you must be artificial intelligence.

But no matter what, under the current situation, 9th Dan Toya Masao can clearly feel that he is in an unfavorable situation.

After fighting in the center of the wave, the threat to his upper right corner has not been eliminated, and he needs to continue running out.

Moreover, he must seize the initiative to prevent Zhan Lang from destroying his lower left area.

After all, although both parties fled outside, I wanted both, instead of making a choice like a child.

After all, if you only choose one, there is an 80% chance that you won’t be able to finish this dish.

Masao Toya, 9th dan, chose to make a sharp move in the corner, threatening the life and death of the black pieces in the upper left corner.

Zhan Lang did not hesitate at all. He flew in two directions, escaping and chasing at the same time!
At this time, the 9th Dan Toya Masao didn't care what tricks Zhan Lang would use in the upper right corner. He quickly went to the lower left corner to make up for it and quickly surrounded the space below.

Zhan Lang also calmly came to the lower corner, and Toya Masao, the 9th dan, also pressed forward without hesitation.

Move 77, Black, Tiger!

Seeing this move, Toya Masao 9th Dan couldn't help but frown.

After all, if it is a normal and fixed method, the battle wave should grow directly inward or point one hand.

But now there is a tiger outside, which has turned the soft head outside into a hard head, and is obviously aiming to fly out.

Although it is slow, it is extremely strong.

But he didn't have any good way to move now, so he could only follow Hu to prevent Zhan Lang from entering the corner.

Zhan Lang decisively came to the two sides and attacked directly.

It’s an excellent choice!
This move not only attacks the white pieces, but also increases the potential for emptying the upper part.

There was nothing Masao Toya, the ninth dan, could do but continue to fly out to escape.

Zhan Lang once again came to the lower left corner, and the power he had accumulated for a long time flew out directly.

When Toya Masao 9th Dan saw Zhan Lang flying out, his face couldn't help but turn gloomy.

Because this is a crucial point that is sure to be of great importance.

After Zhan Lang made this move, he could move forward and continue to compress his formation downwards, or he could retreat and form a huge formation on the left.

And the most important thing is that the white chess piece on the upper left is not alive yet, and the opponent is attacking him while leaving nothing behind. Such a cool move is likely to become a reality.

Thinking of this, Toya Masao's face turned the same color as the mahogany table.

There's no way, it's urgent.

Not only Toya Masao, but many other players present also started to look unhappy.

Because as the game reaches the middle stage, most players have begun to realize the advantages and disadvantages of their own situation, and the disadvantaged party now has to start to get anxious.

The same is true for Masao Toya, 9th dan.

If we don't fight hard under such disadvantages, there will be no way out.

Move 82, White, sharp charge!
Masao Toya, the 9th dan, made a desperate move and went straight to the Wuyou corner on the left where Zhan Lang was standing, demanding to suppress the black chess formation on the left.

In fact, it is completely acceptable for Zhan Lang to climb the three lanes. After all, the advantage is so great that it is completely within his tolerance to give in a little.

However, Zhan Lang didn't think so.

It has come to this, why can't I go a little further?
I should have gone a little further!
Jue Yi: If you can get the empty space, you win.

Zhan Lang: What's the point of collecting empty space? Isn't it the same as empty space if his big dragon dies?
Kill him, and Kong will still be mine!

PS: I feel like this time Lao Ke might really become Sun Quan! Ichiri Ryo's condition is not bad. He has killed three top players in China (former Peerless Twins Tu, Astronaut, Slow Sheep) along the way. His draw is actually quite strong!
So my judgment is that the situation in the semi-finals is really confusing, and there is a high possibility that Japan and Chinese Taiwan will advance to the finals!

The chances of Ichiri Ryo winning are at least 40%. Don't underestimate Japanese chess players! Anyway, I've already gone all in on Ichiri Ryo! Believe me! Follow!
