After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Katsuya Takenouchi considers himself to be a famous and authentic Go player, so he is always kind to others and has no prejudice against others.

Of course, this does not include the peasants from Kansai.

Are you from Kansai qualified to play chess?

Katsuya Takenouchi believes that a talented child like Zhan Lang should not indulge in "evil ways", even if he is a chess player from other countries. If he ignores his "degradation", it may be beneficial to Japanese Go.

That's why Katsuya Takenouchi said this.

A noble and upright person should have such a broad mind! This is the authentic Go!
But since Zhan Lang refused to change his mind, Takenouchi Katsuya had nothing to say.

Anyway, if you keep going down the wrong path, you will end up in a dead end sooner or later! This is what Katsuya Takenouchi firmly believes.

It’s just that Zhan Lang is a guy with better talent. He can push the wall forward even in a dead end, so it’s difficult for others to go further than him.

But sooner or later there will be other talented people who are likely to expose Zhan Lang's shortcomings. Once Zhan Lang is exposed, he will definitely pay the price for his current frivolity and going astray.

All I can say is that Zhan Lang will pay the price for his stubbornness sooner or later!

Even if I can't!

There will always be successors!
But no matter what Katsuya Takenouchi was thinking, the game had to begin. However, this time Zhan Lang guessed wrong, and the autonomy to choose black and white fell into Katsuya Takenouchi's hands.

Having already experienced the first round of the game, Takenouchi Katsuya chose white chess without hesitation.

Until now, many of Japan's rules are still based on a five-and-a-half-point limit, and only in the Fujitsu Cup, a world championship, did it first try out the six-and-a-half-point rule.

The 8 points in the Yingshi Cup rules of this world championship are equivalent to points, which can be said to have increased the handicap by a lot compared to the Japanese rules.

Don’t underestimate the two-point chess. For top players, this burden is extremely heavy! It will even directly affect the overall thinking and method of chess.

Although most Japanese players have not yet adapted to this rule, there is no unified consensus that white chess is better off under this big handicap rule.

However, as one of the top players, Katsuya Takenouchi could vaguely feel something after the first round of competition.

This kind of large benefit is too much of a burden for Black Cleaver. It is a huge test for Black Cleaver to rely on an initiative to convert it into a large amount of quality benefit.

After all, everyone knows whether a pair of shoes is tight or loose after putting them on and walking a few steps.

So after considering this, Katsuya Takenouchi naturally chose the white chess piece without hesitation.

Zhan Lang didn't feel any difference when playing with black. After all, the Chinese rules were used when playing in the system, and the seven and a half points handicap was the most common move Zhan Lang made.

So from a certain perspective, Zhanlang is more adapted to the current rules, and you can be said to have experienced the version in advance.

At the beginning of the game, Zhan Lang directly chose a small eye in the diagonal corner, and then hung it directly on the small eye in the upper left corner of Katsuya Takenouchi.

In this situation, the black chess piece is indeed a bootlicker, but it may be possible for it to become a wolf warrior and ride the white chess piece under its crotch.

The two sides formed a classic variation of the retreat pattern in the upper left corner, but Zhan Lang did not simply break the three directly. Instead, he cooperated with the small eye in the lower right corner to make a super big flying move, guarding the corner and breaking the side.

The advantage of doing this is that it is very efficient and it seems like you are taking care of both sides, but the disadvantage is that the two sides are quite far apart and it seems that neither side is guarding very strictly.

However, Katsuya Takenouchi would naturally not be so anxious to break in, but instead went to the small eye in the upper right corner to hang up the battle wave, and then the two sides once again formed a retreat pattern.

Katsuya Takenouchi also did not choose to simply break up the side, but flew directly to the left, threatening Zhan Lang's attack from the left, but also left a point above himself for the opponent to attack.

Faced with the vague threat from Katsuya Takenouchi, Zhan Lang naturally made up for himself.

Katsuya Takenouchi looked at the situation on the field and thought for a moment. Although both sides used the same routine, their final choices were different.

Same pattern, in black and white.

This is the top master. Although the routine has a fixed form, the top-notch ones will never follow it rigidly. Instead, they will choose the method that suits them best according to local conditions.

Be able to send and receive the moves freely, instead of performing the Luohan Fist rigidly according to the routine.

But overall, the situation on the field is very stable, which is the situation that Katsuya Takenouchi himself likes.

If he can remain this stable, Takenouchi Katsuya feels that there is a chance that he can win today.

After a little thought, Katsuya Takenouchi came to the lower right corner and made a simple small flying defense to hold the ground.

Zhan Lang didn't hesitate at all and went out directly!
Move 21, Black, sharp charge!
Seeing this move, Takenouchi Katsuya was stunned, because he couldn't understand why Zhan Lang placed his bet in this place.

This looks very similar to the Jianchong Wuyoujiao, but this is the Xingwei Xiaofeishoujiao, not the Wuyoujiao!

They look similar, but the difference is huge.

The sharp charge into the corner of worry-free land has become a signature method of playing Zhanlang.

The so-called worry-free corner is a small eye with a small flying hook to guard the corner.

The reason why it is called this name is that with these two moves, it means that you no longer have anything to worry about in this corner. Unless you completely ignore it and transfer it out, otherwise this place is impregnable!
Therefore, many people are still willing to bet on the Worry-Free Corner. Who doesn’t want to put a corner safely in his or her pocket?
Especially in Japan, the worry-free horn is very popular.

However, after the Battle of Wave Peak, many people's Wuyoujiao became cumbersome and tattered in various games, resulting in many Japanese chess players being unwilling to play Wuyoujiao anymore.

There is no way, who would play if Wuyoujiao is not Wuyou?
However, Zhan Lang was not the first person to propose the sharp charge into the Worry-Free Corner. Others had proposed this method long before.

But the fundamental difference between the two is that the opponent proposed that sharp charge is necessary to deal with Wuyoujiao, but the changes he gave later were not valid at all.

It is a correct answer but the process is completely wrong. Anyone with a discerning eye can naturally see such an obvious mistake.

So naturally everyone thinks that the answer "Jian Chong" itself is wrong and invalid.

However, the sharp impact of the battle waves and the subsequent changes made Wuyoujiao extremely painful, because he discovered another shortcoming of Wuyoujiao, which was the lack of strength and confinement to a corner.

Now that Zhan Lang has demonstrated the correctness of this process, everyone has to admit that Wuyou Cape is no longer Worry-Free.

But Zhan Lang himself knew that Wuyoujiao could still be conquered.

This is indeed a magical way to play. In the era of artificial intelligence, it has become tattered after being harassed by various means, but everyone finally discovered that it is still okay even if it is tattered.

However, Japanese chess players today do not know that due to the huge psychological gap, many of them have even given up the Wuyoujiao strategy, and some have even publicly believed that this move has been eliminated.

Katsuya Takenouchi had to admit that the sharp attack of the Wuyou angle was indeed the right move.

But Zhan Lang actually rushed even the star-level Xiao Fei?

Although some people say that there is no evildoer, Katsuya Takenouchi really doesn't think there is anything good about this move.

Although he had seen this move in Zhan Lang's chess record yesterday, he just thought that Zhan Lang was relying on his own strength to bully the kid.

Now the bullying has come to you?
Why do the kids in South Village bully me because I’m old and weak?
But having said that, Katsuya Takenouchi thought about it carefully before he made a move between the two pieces of the battle wave.

Katsuya Takenouchi hoped that Zhan Lang could rush down. Although such a change would leave some flaws in his corner, Zhan Lang would still have many tricks up his sleeve in the future.

However, it also limited the expansion of the forces on the left side of Zhan Lang.

Zhan Lang could naturally see similar changes, but if Takenouchi Katsu was satisfied with this change, it would inevitably mean that his opponent would be dissatisfied.

So Zhan Lang did not hesitate to break through from the left side, forcing Takenouchi Katsuya to make up for the pieces, and then directly invaded from the right side with 25 points.

This move is also a common method to deal with the opponent's star position and small moves.

The so-called invasion means playing chess within the opponent's formation in order to achieve the purpose of occupying the opponent's territory.

However, Zhan Lang's main purpose is to limit the development of Katsuya Takenouchi's lower right corner, and he also hopes to get in touch with himself and prepare to form a formation.

Katsuya Takenouchi naturally knew how to deal with this common tactic, so he simply jumped down and approached.

Zhan Lang glanced at the lower right corner, made a quick calculation, and then ran to the upper left corner to make a move. After squeezing a bit, he directly hit the chess piece between the two pieces above Katsuya Takenouchi.

This is also the back door left by Katsuya Takenouchi after he retreated and did not dismantle the side.

Seeing Zhan Lang coming straight in, Katsuya Takenouchi couldn't help but frown.

Zhan Lang was really like a loach. After testing the lower right corner for a while, he didn't move away. Instead, he turned around and shot the gun directly at his upper left corner and above.

After being led around in circles by Zhan Lang, many people became dizzy and lost their way, and were led by the nose and eventually failed.

However, Katsuya Takenouchi had to admit that in addition to this flexible style, Zhan Lang was indeed very delicate and sensitive in some details.

The squeeze that Zhan Lang had prepared earlier was very elaborate. If he had not squeezed in directly, Takenouchi Katsu would not be in such trouble now.

This step may seem ordinary, but it actually reflects one's level.

If Zhan Lang hadn't been so crowded, I might not even have discovered the beauty of this place.

It seems that I am indeed old, and many things are not as good as before.

At the same time, Katsuya Takenouchi also had to sigh that although this child was obsessed with "evil ways", his talent was indeed beyond reproach.

He started late and reached this level in less than ten years.

In the past hundred years, if we talk about talent alone, there is probably no one who can match him.

It's a pity that it went astray. If it were in Japan, this wouldn't have happened.

It's a pity that I was born in China.

Katsuya Takenouchi looked at the incoming battle wave and fell into the first long thinking of this game, because the handling of this part was very important.

Naturally, Katsuya Takenouchi wanted to march directly to the center in an upright manner.

However, because of the previous squeeze of Zhan Lang, if there is a small fly below, there will be a way to cross over at any time in the upper left corner.

But if he wanted to make up for it, the efficiency of his previous Xiao Fei would suddenly decrease.

Go is essentially a game of territory. In the end, it comes down to who has more territory. Each player takes one step at a time, so the efficiency of each step is very important.

Efficiency in Go is like competing with others to see who can go farther, but the number of steps taken by both parties must be the same.

Others take one meter at a time, but if you take eighty centimeters at a time, you will lag behind others by twenty centimeters with each step, and the gap will accumulate over time.

If your efficiency at every step is lower than others, it means you are 100% doomed to fail.

After careful consideration, Katsuya Takenouchi decided to break the defense on the left side to prevent Zhan Lang from making any trouble.

Seeing that Katsuya Takenouchi chose to defend, Zhan Lang naturally did not hesitate at all. Since you are defending, then I must attack!

I'm not welcome!

Zhan Lang jumped out from the right without any hesitation.

After suppressing Katsuya Takenouchi for several moves, the two of them made a follow-up move of 2-5 invasion and division at the bottom. Katsuya Takenouchi reoccupied the lower right corner, while Zhan Lang further expanded his formation on the right.

Then Zhan Lang jumped out from above and started to escape from the two pieces that had been pushed in before.

As a traditional chess player, Takenouchi Katsuya's first reaction was to jump out from the right side, so Zhanlang would have to make a move on the right side to prevent him from breaking in. Then he jumped out from the left side, Zhanlang jumped again, and then he jumped again.

The situation created in this way is undoubtedly in line with one's own style.

In this way, Takenouchi Katsu can compress the formation on the left side of Zhan Lang and also attack the four black pieces in the center.

The advantage is that Zhan Lang's four black pieces are not alive. During the attack by Takenouchi Katsuya, Takenouchi Katsuya can also strengthen himself through attack and have the opportunity to search on the left and gain good benefits.

But it is not without disadvantages. After Zhan Lang makes a move on the right side, the right side of Zhan Lang will become completely solid, and it will be difficult for Katsuya Takenouchi to invade in the future.

The solid area on the right was indeed very large, and deep down, Takenouchi Katsuya didn't want to be completely defeated by Zhan Lang so easily.

In addition, although he was attacked from both sides, as long as Zhan Lang's dragon was handled normally, there would be no major danger at all.

Katsuya Takenouchi can only gain other benefits through attacks, but killing the dragon is too difficult, or basically impossible.

The battle waves are huge, and the dragon is in no danger.

If you think this way, it seems that you really can't gain much advantage.

Thinking of this, Katsuya Takenouchi couldn't help but hesitate. Is it really okay to play in this way?
After hesitating and struggling, Katsuya Takenouchi still chose to eat the two pieces above Zhan Lang.

In this way, the above facts will be filled with cash in your pocket to avoid any unnecessary troubles later.

It’s absolutely right to get the real stuff first!
Move 58, White chess, damn!

Katsuya Takenouchi was ready to cut off Zhan Lang's escape plan and engage in direct combat with him.

But what was beyond Takenouchi Katsuya's expectation was that after Zhan Lang pulled back, when Takenouchi Katsuya pushed forward, Zhan Lang simply stopped responding.

Because Zhan Lang could also see that if he insisted on pulling out the two words above, they would definitely be broken off by Takenouchi Katsuya after being glued on.

This is Katsuya Takenouchi's most ideal picture.

If Zhan Lang rescues it by force, not only will the chess pieces be squeezed into a very cramped position and may not be able to escape, but new defects will also appear on the chess pieces on the left and right sides.

It can be said that the cost of saving these two children is too high, the risks and benefits are not proportional, and it is completely unnecessary.

There is nothing to give up!
In fact, playing Go is like being an emperor. What you need is to have a comprehensive view of the overall situation!

Zhan Lang immediately broke away and surrounded the lower left corner, but at the same time he was also preparing for the battle above.

Abandoning a piece does not mean simply throwing something away. As long as you win, you must maximize the value of every piece, even if it is a discarded piece or a dead piece!

Even if it's a piece of toilet paper, you have to squeeze out all its surplus value!
At this time, Katsuya Takenouchi also discovered something wrong, because in the subsequent moves, Zhan Lang was as steady as an old dog, and he found himself in an embarrassing situation.

The reason is that the two black spots above are now like chicken ribs.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

If he eats it, Katsuya Takenouchi will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

In Go, the first move and the second move are extremely important. Many people are even willing to suffer a small loss in order to gain the first move.

But if he doesn't eat it, he will be connected back by Zhan Lang, and the right side of Katsuya Takenouchi will be surrounded and need further processing.

The two sides reached the 73rd move and it was time to close the market at noon.

In this era without artificial intelligence, people naturally don’t have to worry about God helping them cheat, and they can just order food at noon.

Zhan Lang did not raise any objection to the rule of closing the game, because in this era, as long as both players are still on the field, it is basically difficult to cheat.

Because the original method of cheating was to take the information home and study it with a group of people, but in the era of artificial intelligence, even after you have the correct answer, you are still afraid that people will pass the information in.

But now there is not so much to worry about. Everyone is eating and resting at the competition site and cannot go home.

And it is true that the retention time for the game is now three hours, and if it is the longest time, it can even be down to seven or eight hours.

Starting at eight o'clock in the morning will inevitably cover the lunch time and go straight to dinner time.

It would be really unbearable for chess players to skip lunch.

This is also the reason why you see many Go players running to get snacks during the game, and even pouring them directly into their mouths like drinking water.

Because playing chess is indeed a strenuous exercise, not eating something will not be enough to supply the CPU with energy.

Moreover, it is said that skipping lunch and irregular eating habits for a long time caused many later professional players to suffer from stomach problems.

This is also the disadvantage brought about by the cancellation of the closure, but it is something that must be done to meet the challenges of artificial intelligence.

But now Zhan Lang naturally cannot just endure the hardship and mechanically follow the later rules.

It is best to adapt to local conditions.

Zhan Lang thought so while eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

But on the other hand, Katsuya Takenouchi felt his lunch was tasteless, and the two black pieces on the chessboard in his mind seemed like a thorn in his throat.

Even Katsuya Takenouchi felt a little uncomfortable swallowing his food.

It tastes tasteless and it's a pity to throw it away. Should I eat it or not?
Katsuya Takenouchi looked at the cream salmon rice in his spoon and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

However, Katsuya Takenouchi didn't have much time to think. After a short rest after dinner, everyone came back to continue the game.

After thinking for a whole afternoon, Takenouchi Katsuya decided to rush and eat these two pieces.

But Zhan Lang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this. Instead of focusing on the central government, he was just eating up those two useless people?

In Takenouchi Katsuya's opinion, the current situation of the game is on the verge of collapse, and it is a critical moment of life and death.

But in Zhanlang's eyes, Takenouchi Katsuya still has a clever way to fight back to the death.

However, Zhan Lang didn't expect that Takenouchi Katsuya didn't see it?
If Katsuya Takenouchi can take over the above two pieces, then the company will really collapse.

A Japanese chess player.

Being greedy will lead to losing the opportunity!

When Zhan Lang was about to shake his head and make a move, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, and this strange smell even seemed a little familiar.

Zhan Lang couldn't help but turn his head and look over, following the smell, and found that Cao Mingxun, who was sitting behind him, had taken off his shoes at some point.

The smell of smelly feet instantly spread around, and Sanye Kenichi, who was sitting opposite Cao Mingxun, couldn't help but frown.

Kenichi Mitsuba had heard other people complain about this before, saying that when he was playing chess with Cao Mingxun, this guy actually took off his shoes and let others smell his smelly feet in order to influence others' chess play.

When hearing this, Kenichi Mitsuha felt a little gloating about what happened to Takemiya Masahira.

He even asked Takemiya Masahira if he had any taste in his mouth when he ate, which made Takemiya Masahira feel so nauseous that he couldn't help but spit.

But Kenichi Mitsuba never expected that this incident would happen to him again.

What is this? Retribution?!

Kenichi Mitsuba couldn't help but fan himself with the fan at hand, trying to blow away the disgusting smell, but the effect was really not very good.

Kenichi Mitsuba could only endure the disgusting smell and think that even though Masahira Takemiya was not affected by the stinky feet and killed Cao Mingxun, he could do the same.

This kind of trick can't eliminate the gap between us!

Although he thought so in his heart, Sanye Kenichi was still very unhappy, because theoretically Cao Mingxun was one generation older than them.

How could they do such a disgusting thing! It is really despicable!
In fact, everyone can accept the underhand tactics because everyone does it this way now.

But you are so disgusting!
Although Kenichi Mitsuba tried his best to calm his mind and not be affected, how could he resist the physiological reaction of his body when facing this smell?

Not long after, Sanye Kenichi played a common move in a trance. Cao Mingxun immediately seized the opportunity and started fighting with Sanye Kenichi.

As long as he beats Kenichi Mitsuba, he will be in the semifinals! This is also the best result in the Korean World Series!
On the other side, Zhan Lang couldn't help but move forward, trying to avoid the impact of the smell of feet behind him.

After all, Cao Mingxun also stretched his feet in the opposite direction, so theoretically speaking, the impact on his side was relatively small.

Zhan Lang now really wants to add a rule prohibiting players from taking off their shoes.

But it is probably not very realistic, because too many Japanese players take off their shoes and sit cross-legged when playing chess. Cao Mingxun also grasped this point. Why can others take off their shoes but I can't?

Are you discriminating my feet?
But being able to keep your feet smelling so good is, to some extent, a skill.

Zhan Lang also came to his senses and continued to make moves, turning directly in the center and blocking Takenouchi Katsuya.

In this way, the battle waves on the left and the center directly formed a huge shape.

If Takemiya Masahei were here now, he would definitely shout “wonderful”!

Looking at the huge formation formed by the battle waves, Katsuya Takenouchi also realized that his current situation was unfavorable.

However, Katsuya Takenouchi was still not in a hurry to attack directly. He believed that one should play chess elegantly and follow his own ideas!

Keep scooping up the land!

Theoretically speaking, if Zhan Lang continues to play chess in the center at this time, he can further strengthen himself, while also making it more difficult for Katsuya Takenouchi to break in and destroy the isolated piece later.

But Zhan Lang thinks that's enough now!
Takenouchi Katsuya is not afraid even if he is sent to Zhigu! He is even willing to accompany him!

Takenouchi Katsuya! I'm waiting for you in the lower left corner! Don't let me see you! If I see you, I'll kill your Baron! I have to slap you in the face!

It’s coming to the lower left corner, it’s definitely not as good as you!

Therefore, Zhan Lang did not give Takenouchi Katsuya the advantage in the upper right corner.

Looking at the gap on the board, Katsuya Takenouchi knew that it was time for a do-or-die battle.

He scored directly with the help of three-three.

Treat orphans!

But it is basically too late now. If the artificial intelligence is turned on, Jueyi's white chess winning rate is as high as 2.5%!
Ten percent is called a chain.

What is that 2.5 percent called?
PS: The first round of King of Kings has ended. I almost thought it was the same round-robin tournament as last year, but it turned out to be a double-elimination tournament.

The winners of the first round were Li Wang and Lian Mi, and the remaining four entered the loser zone.

Generally speaking, I feel that the next round of competition is very crucial. If Xiaoxiao can beat Lao Mi, I really think he will win the championship, because if Xuan Gong wins the next round, he may not be able to beat him, as his record is not very good.

But if Xiaoxiao loses, it will be a bit difficult for him to get out of the loser group. Then I am optimistic about Xuan Gong winning the championship. Today's game was indeed perfect.

But what were you doing when we were fighting the traitor?
