After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 116 115. Let the Waiting Spoon Flow be Great Again [3100 Average Subscriptions and More]

"bump."

Seeing Chen Long guarding the lower left corner directly against him, Zhan Lang was 100% sure that Chen Long must have been studying his chess skills for a long time, otherwise he would not have been able to play so skillfully.

After all, this touch is one of Zhanlang's signature moves.

However, what Zhan Lang did not expect was that in the mainstream Go community, even in China, there are very few people who would learn from Zhan Lang's new moves.

Everyone still believes that the method that has not been tested for a long time is not as stable and controllable as the method they have learned from elementary school to adulthood.

But Chen Long, a chess player who had previously retired to the second line, actually kept up with the trend and continued to learn from himself.

I can only say that it’s no wonder that he was able to become a leader in China in the past.

With his courage and determination to try new things, he can always make a name for himself in any industry.

"If it's the left side, I've played similar variations in previous games, and Mr. Chen should have done some research on it.

This, combined with the flying pressure on the upper left, can form a very good configuration, even if it is at the bottom, it is good, no wonder he made this choice.

Mr. Chen came prepared. He even prepared himself in advance to face a young man like me. This is a lack of martial ethics."

Generally, the research before the game is done by the underdog against the opponent who is on the same level as himself, and many times the underdog does not make any pre-game preparations when facing the underdog.

When you first start, you think the gap is huge, the difference in strength is there, and you can defeat the opponent with just a few moves.

Because of this, many players who are good at playing are often caught off guard by their opponents, and losing is a common occurrence.

Xiao Shen Ke often encounters people of his level, and then he is teased by others.

Even when Shifo, who was recognized as the best chess player of his generation in his previous life, was dominating the chess world, top players said that they had already lost when they saw their opponents make a two-split move.

However, Shifo often loses to rookies who have never seen opponents before. The fundamental reason is that he is not well prepared before the game and is not familiar with the opponent, so he is outmatched by the opponent.

This is what it’s like when you first see someone killing someone.

But Chen Long had obviously studied Zhan Lang carefully and did not give the other party any chance to take advantage of him.

On the contrary, due to the lack of information and less daily contact, Zhan Lang didn't know much about Chen Long, who was gradually fading out of the professional world, and could only get a glimpse of his style of play through a few chess records.

This time, we were well prepared at the beginning but not well prepared at the end.

"A strong attacker with continuous attacks, Mr. Chen really doesn't leave any room for Zhan Lang to stand a chance at all."

Looking at Chen Long, who started to exert his strength from the lower right corner and launched a series of attacks on the strong opponent, Fang Yuan, who did not have to participate in the first two rounds but served as a referee, could not help but sigh.

In the first round of a competition like this, shouldn’t we be gentler towards the young people?

Since the probability of winning is so high anyway, there is no need to pick such a tough bet, right?
What if this is so cruel that it drives young people to collapse?

Especially Zhan Lang. If he fails and the competition is cancelled, where can we go to cry?

However, Fang Yuan was not worried that Zhan Lang would really collapse because of this game of chess. If that were the case, he would not have to think about leading the team in the future.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light it, but after looking at Zhan Lang, he seemed to think of something and put the cigarette back.

I remembered that according to the competition rules, players are not allowed to smoke, talk loudly, or do anything that may intentionally affect the opponent during the competition.

The same is true for referees.

The other aspects are actually acceptable, but not being allowed to smoke is really uncomfortable.

Especially for someone like Fang Yuan who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, he even feels like he needs cigarettes to think during the competition.

Without smoking, Fang Yuan even felt that he couldn't think during the game.

If Fang Yuan was not allowed to smoke during the third round and finish the entire game, he would really feel like it was a torture, like being in prison.

Can't this rule be abolished? Smoking is my freedom!

The only thing we could get was to set up a smoking area outside. Those who needed to smoke could do so in the smoking area outside. At the same time, it was supervised by the referee and no communication outside was allowed.

It can be said that the rules of these competitions organized by Zhanlang are much stricter than previous competitions.

But there is no choice in Go. Not to mention that there is nothing wrong with this rule in itself, even if it is an unfair treaty, most people in the Go community will agree to it with a pinch of their noses.

It’s a pity for these old smokers.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt uncomfortable all over and walked outside and lit a cigarette.

The bitter smoke makes my throat ache.

"What a powerful force."

Zhan Lang looked at the oppressive black chess pieces on the chessboard and couldn't help but sigh.

Old Chen was indeed the one who had followed Gu Qi to learn chess from the very beginning. He was fierce and aggressive, and even had been attacking from the very beginning, always choosing the most ruthless moves.

Moreover, the chess pieces are simply not repaired if they can be avoided. It's like swinging a mace around, but once it hits, the opponent will either die or be injured.

Zhan Lang was forced to fight hard by Chen Long on the right. Moreover, Chen Long did not occupy the large field at all when there was a large field to occupy, and directly approached Zhan Lang in the lower left corner for close combat, forcing Zhan Lang to fight with him.

Barbaric, so barbaric!

Move 123, Black chess, cut!

Even when he was in an advantageous position, Chen Long did not give in at all. He was even unwilling to let Zhan Lang take a few pieces, always picking the most ruthless ones to make.

If it were someone else being chased and killed like this, they might have lost their mind at this moment.

But Zhan Lang didn't.

I thought about how I was bullied by Yingzi in my childhood, chased by a pale-faced scholar with a knife in my growing up, and was controlled by a talented but immoral person.

If Zhan Lang was about to collapse mentally, he would have been broken by these three people long ago.

But it was because he was tortured by these three people every day that Zhan Lang was able to develop a strong heart that remained calm in the face of adversity and developed an indomitable perseverance.

This allows Zhan Lang to wait silently in the corner, accumulate strength, and when the opponent reveals a flaw, he will directly stab the opponent's kidney.

For example, Yingzi, the system’s first teacher, was the first person to be stabbed by Zhan Lang.

The other party's wonderful expression left a deep impression on Zhan Lang until now. He finally got his revenge.

Even as his strength continues to increase, Zhan Lang is now able to turn against Tian Gang and start to humiliate his first teacher.

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, the dead are the greatest!
"Put the chess pieces back."

Because Chen Long's move was really too extreme, Zhan Lang was still able to keenly catch some of his opponent's flaws, causing him to suffer a little loss.

However, the advantage gained here is still not enough to make up for the previous losses, and the situation is still at a disadvantage for Zhanlang.

"Mr. Chen is determined to save the piece below. He should not just be worried about the loss of this piece.

He might even be looking at the whole white piece above me that hasn't come alive yet, which is in line with his style."

When playing Go, you have to constantly guess your opponent's intentions. If every move of the opponent is within your expectations, you can play with him at your fingertips, and the same is true in reverse.

Just as Zhan Lang guessed, Chen Long, the 9th Dan, had already set his sights on the big dragon.

But Zhan Lang still underestimated Chen Long, as he was not just planning to take down the big dragon on the left.

In his opinion, the big dragon on Zhan Lang's right, including the chess pieces in the upper right corner, are essentially not alive yet and can all be killed.

The three big dragons are not alive yet, so I can naturally catch them all in one fell swoop.

What’s the point of withdrawing troops when you have an advantage? You must kill if you can.

Men want to fight!
Therefore, in this advantageous situation, Chen Long not only did not return to defense, but instead made a sharp move from the top, directly threatening the downward rush from above and the breakpoint on the left, which was extremely sharp.

However, facing Chen Long's ruthless attack and his intention to directly attack his three big dragons, Zhan Lang remained unusually calm.

Move 158, White chess piece, flying.

Zhan Lang expanded his vision while also slowly moving forward.

You think my big dragon is not alive, but I also feel that your big dragon is not alive either, including the one below.

Zhan Lang: If I say you won’t live, then you won’t live!
You want to kill me, but you never imagined that I have always been thinking about killing you back!
Move 159, Black, sharp.

Chen Long still maintained his usual intention, staring at the big dragon on Zhan Lang's right, ready to slay the dragon.

"Do you think we can get in touch with the people down there, so you can slay the dragon without any worries?"

Zhan Lang looked at Chen Long who was holding on to his Baron and made a silent judgment in his heart. Because the other side had various means, Chen Long felt that he could kill the Baron with confidence.

But at the same time, it also allowed Zhan Lang to keenly grasp the opponent's flaws.

Move 168, White chess, cut!

Seeing Zhan Lang taking action below, Chen Long rubbed his temples, and after thinking for a while, he chose to jump and make contact.

When this 171-jump appeared, Zhan Lang knew that his patience and waiting had finally paid off and the opponent's spoon had finally appeared!
The opponent should directly pull back. The difference lies in the first and second moves. At that time, even if Chen Long abandons the black pieces below, he can still maintain a slight advantage.

However, Zhan Lang estimated that with Mr. Chen's style of play, which had extremely strict requirements on physical strength, it was unclear whether he could win with a slight advantage in this situation.

Instead, they are afraid of missing out on opportunities, so they choose to contact in the most direct way, and are unwilling to give up even a penny.

There was naturally no problem with communication, but Zhan Lang took the initiative.

It is better to lose a piece than to lose the initiative!
Move 174, White chess, long!

Kill your Baron!
Looking at the dead black dragon in the lower left corner, Zhan Lang, who had been patient for half the game, finally smiled.

Make Waiting Spoon Flow great again!
