After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"Zhan Jun, long time no see."

"It's been a long time since we last met. However, after this game, the third China-Japan Go Tournament will be held in Tokyo in a month. We may meet again then."

Upon hearing this, Taiya Masao nodded slightly: "Indeed, this may be considered an advance preview of the third ring tournament."

Compared with this world championship, Japan will definitely attach more importance to the third tournament in a month.

After all, I have lost twice. If I don’t win this time, I will really lose face.

Hearing what Toya Masao 9th Dan said, Zhan Lang smiled and said, "But the pressure Japan put on us this time is not too great. Maybe I don't have to play this time, and Fang Yuan 9th Dan can end the battle. I also hope I can relax a little."

"Hahaha."

When 9th Dan Toya Masao heard this, he smiled awkwardly. After all, as the champion, the overall process of the third tournament was indeed a bit ugly compared to the previous two.

Although they lost the first two sessions, they forced the Chinese side down to the last man, and at that time there were even three or five people left on the Japanese side.

At least everyone had a chance to open the champagne in the middle. Even if it didn't happen in the end, at least it was opened.

But this time, the Japanese side was forced by China to the point where only the last person was left.

Throughout the entire process, Japan was completely suppressed by China and basically had no chance to overtake.

From the Japanese perspective, the process was positively ugly.

There are even many discussions in Japan about the reverse Tiangang. Japanese Go is no longer inferior to Chinese Go in terms of sharpness, but even in terms of thickness.

Masao Toya, the ninth dan, can only hope to win consecutive matches against Zhan Lang and Fang Yuan and win the third tournament.

In this case, no one would care about what the process was like. After all, this was the only time Japan won a ring match, and the meaning was completely different.

In fact, Fang Yuan didn't take Toya Masao seriously. After all, he had defeated him four times, and this time should be no exception.

And the final result of this crucial game may actually be decided today.

After research, the Japanese side found that the first thing to do was to make Zhan Lang lose a game in Japan and break his undefeated streak.

Because some people had discussed this internally before, the reason why Zhan Lang kept winning was because he kept winning and fell into a virtuous circle.

The more you go, the more confident you become, and the more powerful your momentum becomes.

No matter how he plays, he is very confident. He never feels that there is something wrong with him. Even if there is a problem, it is the opponent's problem.

In particular, the competitive pressure from China is still very small, while the competitive pressure from Japan is high. Even if Japan is top-notch, it is inevitable to lose in China, and no matter how good its form is, it is impossible for it to win all the time.

However, due to China's overall weak strength, Zhan Lang reached a unique level and has been undefeated in China for nearly two years.

This is an extremely terrifying thing, which may make Zhan Lang develop an invincible mentality.

According to some novels, Zhan Lang has developed an invincible heart!
On the contrary, the Japanese chess players were timid under Zhan Lang's invincible momentum and found it difficult to defeat his opponent.

So the most important thing now is to make Zhan Lang lose a game. The first thing is to break the Japanese chess players’ terrifying impression of Zhan Lang.

The second is that once a person loses, especially if he has been winning before, it is easy for him to doubt himself. If he cannot adjust, he may fall into a vicious cycle of failure.

Because after losing at the beginning, people start to play it safe; because after losing in other places, they start again in other places. People must not fall into self-doubt. Once they do, they will be restricted everywhere.

Once caught in a vicious cycle, no matter how strong a person is, they will fall into a low period for a long time.

The Japanese side now wants to defeat Zhan Lang in the World Series and let him clearly return to the position where he should be.

You are just a top-notch one, not the best in the world!

Why not defeat Zhan Lang in the ring match to pave the way for the world championship?

I'm going to work early!

If we could win the ring match, we would have defeated him long ago!

Although no one wants to admit it, everyone seems to feel that there seems to be a strange buff after Zhan Lang enters the ring, just like a sudden burst of seeds.

Many people think that this is putting the China-Japan competition together with the country. The collectivism of the Chinese side attaches too much importance to national honor, which leads to the players fighting hard in every game.

But you are participating in the world championship as an individual, you shouldn't fight so hard!
Moreover, in this kind of cup competition, it is obvious that the Japanese players have more experience.

After all, there are seven title fights in Japan alone, and there are countless other competitions.

Everyone has come out of various elimination tournaments, and this time there are so many people sniping one battle wave, so they cannot fail.

Especially since the Fujitsu Cup has chosen time rules that are more suitable for Japanese chess players, if we can't win again, then there's really nothing to say.

"Come to think of it, I just prepared a throwing knife today, let me appreciate it when the time comes."

There was still some time before the game started, and Zhan Lang and Toya Masao chatted for a while. After all, it was a bit awkward to sit like this all the time.

However, only a social star like Zhan Lang, who had nothing to do, pulled his opponent aside to chat. The players in the other seven positions were all in a solemn mood and could not say a word.

After all, this is the first World Series, no one has much experience, and most people are even nervous.

When Taiya Masao heard this, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll take a good look at it later."

I believe you.

The flying knife relies on deception, sneak attack, and the main purpose is to catch the opponent by surprise!
You told me in advance, how could I be fooled? Could you be so kind to tell me in advance?
If you told me in advance that I could be stabbed if I flew over, wouldn't I be a fool?
Toya Masao, the ninth dan, was deceiving himself tactically by using the battle wave, making him cautious and restrained at the beginning of the game in order to prevent the opponent's flying knives.

But maybe there is another possibility. Zhan Lang did prepare a flying knife and told himself in advance to make himself think that he was deceived, and then used the flying knife to attack himself.

Thinking of this, Toya Masao 9th Dan couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

It turns out that you shouldn't talk too much with your opponent before the game. Any deliberate words said by your opponent will always have some negative impact on you.

As the game started, players on both sides began to guess who would go first.

Zhan Lang got the black chess piece again, but this time the rules changed.

The black chess piece has one more point, a total of six and a half points!

There is no need to mark the target at the beginning of a Go game. Both players place their pieces one after the other, and whoever makes more pieces wins.

When you are bad at playing, no one really cares. After all, the life or death of a dragon may not affect the final outcome of the game.

But later, as everyone's technology continued to improve, they found that after reaching a certain level, the advantage of being the first at the same level was too great. Although they couldn't win every game, the probability of winning could be said to be very high.

So everyone started looking for ways to limit the advantages of the first mover.

This is the origin of the concept of "sticking the goal". It is like in a race, if one party must run first, then in order to offset his advantage, the track he is running on must be lengthened, and this lengthened part is the "sticking the goal".

And now, because someone's advantage as black player seems to be quite big, and everyone generally reflects that as their level improves, the five and a half points handicap is no longer enough to make up for the advantage of playing first.

Therefore, in this competition, the Japanese side changed the handicap to 6.5 points, and it is estimated that domestic competitions will also undergo further comprehensive reforms in the future.

However, it is estimated that it will be difficult for China to keep up with this reform, because the counting method of Chinese rules is different from that of Japanese and Korean rules. You cannot count half a piece. If you want to change it, you can only jump from five and a half points to seven and a half points.

In this case, the handicap for black pieces is suddenly too heavy, and it seems a bit too much.

However, Japanese rules do not have such difficulties and can be changed directly.

After all, someone still wants to participate in the competition. If the effect is good, then it must be promoted!
Zhan Lang chose the wrong opening move at the beginning, on the contrary, Toya Masao chose a two-star move.

If you don't look at the two players in the game, many people would probably think that the black player is Toya Masao, 9th dan.

After all, Zhan Lang's 3-3 move is very annoying in Japan, and everyone thinks that this chess move is really bad, but every time Zhan Lang always manages to get some strange advantages from it.

It’s not like everyone hasn’t studied this before, but the feeling is that although it seems understandable, it goes against the train of thought, so it’s very uncomfortable.

But after all, you can't stop people from doing this in actual combat, so you can only find other ways to solve this problem.

Over time, when facing the battle waves, everyone simply stopped playing star positions. If I'm not in the star position, how can you click on my three threes?
I have to say that sometimes escape is indeed a method.

As the Japanese saying goes, running away is shameful, but useful.

So when Zhan Lang saw the two star positions of Toya Masao's ninth rank in front of him, he was a little surprised. Was this an open door for him to try?
So good?

But Zhan Lang was not in a hurry. After all, the other party’s door was wide open, so why should he be in a hurry?
You must take it slow!

Let’s start with a worry-free corner to steady our hands.

If Toya Masao, the 9th dan, came directly, he would put a small eye high up on the upper right corner for Zhan Lang, and Zhan Lang would not hesitate at all.

Trust!
However, 9th Dan Toya Masao did not choose the traditional retreat. Instead, he went straight forward and then pulled it upwards, forming a modified avalanche method.

Seeing this pattern, Zhan Lang couldn't help but shook his head. After all, he had eliminated this pattern a long time ago.

Although the Japanese side also saw Zhan Lang's chess records, many people still believed that the loss was not much and they could still continue playing.

Zhan Lang naturally would not follow him. He simply stuck to Taiya Masao after he captured the opponent's position with the ninth dan move, while Taiya Masao was standing in a tiger position below.

Zhan Lang, who had taken the initiative, did not hesitate at all.

Go directly to the lower right corner and click three three!

The fifteenth move, Black chess, point 33!
Seeing this move, Toya Masao, the 9th dan, did not hesitate at all and flew away directly after blocking it.

This is also one of the most commonly used strategies used by Japanese chess players when facing Zhan Lang in the past one or two years.

After all, after the traditional point three three cancels the sticking, everyone has to admit that the external force formed by the outside corners is indeed not thick enough, and there is a risk of being attacked.

And most importantly, there is someone behind the scenes.

Especially in the game, Zhan Lang likes to take advantage of these weaknesses to attack, so everyone will naturally avoid this.

The change that Torajiro Kashima took the lead in making to block Yifei was liked by many Japanese chess players.

When faced with this change, Zhan Lang usually goes straight up and then pulls it down.

Naturally, 9th Dan Taiya Masao also believed that today was no exception.

But Zhan Lang thinks this is not the case, because the version has changed.

If you block it, isn't this an invitation for me to throw the knife?

The invitation from Masao Toya to you, please...

Agree! Agree! Agree!

Zhan Lang didn't hesitate at all and directly lifted up the piece that was flying down from under Toya Masao's ninth dan.

Seeing this change, Toya Masao was slightly stunned. After all, he didn't know why Zhan Lang suddenly changed his tactics?

It's been brought up?

9th Dan Toya Masao frowned slightly. Is Zhan Lang trying to take the initiative?
After all, a quick calculation by Masao Toya, the ninth dan, would tell him that he couldn't simply escape here.

If I dare to break away, I'm afraid the battle wave on the opposite side will not resist me, but will directly pull me up.

After pulling it back and climbing again, the situation will be completely different.

It can be said to be an extremely severe punishment.

In this corner, once the battle is formed in this form, the white chess pieces will be split into two, and the energy is very tight, which is very dangerous and the battle will inevitably be disadvantageous.

Therefore, when you are entrusting someone, you cannot easily get away from it.

After frowning slightly, the ninth dan Taiya Masao felt that he could not let Zhan Lang get away easily, otherwise his intention would be fulfilled.

The twentieth move, White chess, pull!
When Zhan Lang saw this step, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Yes, that's it!
That's it!

I've seen this flying knife!
This flying knife was finally refined after countless calculations on the Internet.

No one would have thought that such a complex and terrifying flying knife was, at the beginning, just trying to gain the upper hand!

The most mundane purpose, but it gave rise to the most terrifying and complex flying knives in the age of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence with low computing power cannot even calculate such complex changes.

Mi's flying knife!

At this moment, this flying knife was completely formed in this world!
No one can stop him!

nobody!
PS: I don't know why everyone is talking about Ke Jie, the nine-time champion, as if this ancient battlefield of the Yingshi Cup is destined to be disastrous for us Ke Jie. Yili came all the way from Japan and defeated three Chinese national players in a row to advance to the semi-finals. How glorious is that?
In any case, the battle force is zero crowns against eight crowns! The advantage is mine!

(I lost 10 million today, and now I only have 300,000 left. I’m betting on Liaoshen to win, and I believe the odds will be very good!)
Good Saint Grandson: Mr. Ke is the number one Baturu in my Dawei.

The eldest prince Aixinjueluo, the section chief: I will beat you with a steel whip and kill you, you bastard!

Not to mention there is also Xu Xian.
