After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"The final game is finally about to begin..."

Hao Qiang couldn't help but take a deep breath when looking at Zhan Lang who was sent in by him. He couldn't sleep well when there was a competition, and he was always thinking about all kinds of things.

The final stage of this tournament was held in Japan, and the Japanese side was probably eagerly hoping to hold a grand closing ceremony in their own country.

It announced that Japanese Go had stood up again. Even if it was not as good as everyone expected, it was true that Japanese Go had finally defeated China.

After all the hardship comes happiness!

In comparison, the number of people coming from China is not particularly large, and is even less than the last time when the Japanese delegation came to China in such a grand manner.

After all, from China's perspective, there is no 99% certainty of winning this time, so there is no need to make too much of a fuss.

If I win, even if not many people come, I can still hold a grand celebration when I get home and celebrate with everyone. I can even praise Zhan Lang to the sky and give him a big red flower as a reward.

But if you lose, it is better to keep a low profile, otherwise the other side will definitely exaggerate the report.

After all, the future is indeed uncertain now. Zhan Lang seems to be in high spirits with three consecutive wins, but the Japanese team still has two top-notch Japanese players to support them. If they lose a game, the Chinese team will fall directly from heaven to hell.

Be conservative and leave yourself some room for retreat.

Chen Long glanced at Hao Qiang who was worried about the outcome and said, "This is not the last one. There is still another one after this one."

Even if he wins this game, there is still a tough game waiting for Zhan Lang.

Even though Katsuya Takenouchi has indeed entered the second half of his professional career, you can't really underestimate him because of this, otherwise you will suffer a loss and have no place to complain.

After all, he is not like Fujii Hideaki, the 9th dan, who is sixty years old and still needs to be asked whether he is old enough to eat.

It is also a strong rival of China!

Chen Long couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of this. The huge country of China actually has to be supported by Zhan Lang alone.

I really don’t know whether this should make people happy or sad.

"They seem to say that Takemiya Shohei is stronger as a black player. This time the order of the game changed and it happened to be his turn to play white. This should have a certain impact on his strength, right?

Didn’t Zhan Lang say that his winning rate when playing with black is a little higher? If this is the case, then our chances of winning will be greater, right?

If this kind of situation continues, what is the chance of Zhan Lang winning?"

Hao Qiang could only analyze the results he wanted based on limited information to comfort his anxious heart.

“It’s hard to say for sure about this kind of thing, it depends on the performance of both sides in this game.

Don’t worry, the results will come out soon.”

Zhan Lang also walked into the game room at this time, and Wu Gong Zhengping had naturally been waiting for a long time.

Looking at Zhan Lang coming, Takemiya Masahiro said with a smile: “When you came to Japan or I went to China before, we always had a competition.

But because of this game, we probably haven't played against each other for a long time.

It’s not just chess fans who are waiting for this game, I have also been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Hearing this, Zhan Lang sat down with a smile and said jokingly: "It's a pity that you are not playing black, otherwise you would have used Four Stars in a Row and got beaten up by me again." Among Go players, there are two different types if we divide them based on the layout.

One is a variety of layouts. The advantage is that your opponent doesn't know what kind of layout you will prepare in advance, and naturally there is no way to conduct targeted training before the game.

The disadvantages are also obvious. You also don’t have a set of layouts that you are particularly good at, and you may not have done in-depth research on various layouts. If you encounter someone else’s in-depth research, you may fall into the trap.

Another type of chess player is just the opposite. They keep repeating their favorite layouts, and after constant thinking, they form their own unique insights on them. They believe that no matter who understands this layout, it is impossible for them to study it more thoroughly than themselves.

No matter how much you prepare before the game, you can't study more deeply than me.

Of course, in the era of artificial intelligence, the latter type of chess players are basically impossible to find.

Because from the perspective of the layout, it is normal for everyone to memorize dozens of moves at the beginning, all of which are the same choice, and even the manuscript cannot be escaped.

Coupled with the popularity of artificial intelligence, it is basically impossible for you to come up with something new at the beginning. Others just need to go back and drive their dogs for two minutes, which is equivalent to several years of research by humans, and they will immediately know the best way to deal with you.

If you still cling to a layout and let others study it, there is a high probability that you will be like the plane crash king at a certain stage, who is unable to listen to everyone's opinions before the game and is full of confidence.

In the end, when the official game finally started, he found that others had done more in-depth research on this layout through artificial intelligence than he did, and they could use tricks that you didn’t know!

Of course, in this era when there are no dogs, there are many people who think that others’ research on the game cannot be deeper than their own.

When playing with black pieces, Takemiya Masahei has a 90% chance of getting four consecutive stars. In his opinion, even if he has suffered one or two losses over the years, in essence, other people's research is not deeper than his.

But I only use this layout when I play against Black in private.

In other words, Takemiya Masahei happened to encounter the white chess pieces this time. If he were playing with black chess pieces, he would probably have to struggle with whether to use the layout he is best at.

There are risks if you use it, but you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t use it.

Because Wu Gong Zhengping is under a lot of pressure now.

Takemiya Masahei is a person of indifferent nature. He is careless and casual about many things.

After the Chinese team won in Japan, he even invited the Chinese team to dinner and played chess with Zhan Lang privately. He showed a completely indifferent attitude towards some things.

However, there was no way for Takemiya Masahira to remain indifferent to this competition.

The last time a large team went to China to attend the closing ceremony, they returned empty-handed, which has become a topic of discussion in the media. If they win this time, it will be fine. If they lose, they will inevitably be ridiculed again for never being able to change their habit of underestimating the enemy.

Even Katsu Takenouchi privately told Shohei Takemiya that the responsibility of avenging the defeat in the second tournament fell on you.

We all came through the title match round-robin tournament, so don't lose face!
Be alert! Otherwise, if I were to appear, it would be very dangerous.

In response, Masahiro Takemiya could only say, "Tom, I will show you how to do it!"
Although he said so, Takemiya Masahira still felt that he was under tremendous pressure.

This kind of pressure is something that ordinary individual title competitions never have.

Civil war.

When it comes to the word "country", there are too many complications.
