After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"..."

Cao Mingxun had thought about the countless possibilities that would occur after he used his tricks, and at the same time he also thought about how to deal with various emergencies.

Maybe Zhan Lang would appeal to the referee, and the referee would stop him directly, or maybe Zhan Lang would just refuse to admit defeat and sing along with him, and the two of them would compose a symphony of Go again.

But no matter what, Cao Mingxun's trick is to never learn from his mistakes.

Every bit of influence you can have on your opponent counts. As long as you can make your opponent upset and mentally broken, you win.

After all, in Go, or most sports, mentality has always been the most important part.

A slight fluctuation in mentality may become the difference between the championship and runner-up, not to mention drastic fluctuations in mentality.

Once you lose your concentration on the chess game, all sorts of problems are bound to arise.

But Cao Mingxun did not expect that Zhan Lang would just ignore it and put the earmuffs on his ears.

With this set, no matter the wind blows or the rain falls, I will still stroll leisurely in the garden.

Cao Mingxun suddenly felt that he had run out of tricks to do this...

How to do this?
For a moment, Cao Mingxun seemed to not know what to do. It seemed that he had no way to deal with Zhan Lang.

If you use your smelly socks to fumigate, and the other person has something that stinkier than you, you may not be able to disgust them more than they do. In that case, both sides will suffer, and there is no difference between both sides being affected and not being affected.

In fact, the best way to deal with these non-smoking young people is to smoke them and suffocate them to death with smoke. This is the best method that Cao Mingxun experimented with in South Korea.

If you just blow gently on the other person's face, the other person won't be able to think, and some young people will even cough out their lungs.

Moreover, once thinking is interrupted, even what was learned previously may be forgotten, and everything has to start all over again.

Even if the person on the other side is a smoker, the worst that can happen is that you smoke against each other. At that time, in the smoky environment, the other person may also be affected.

It can be said that cigarettes have long been a powerful weapon for Cao Mingxun to win.

But this time, Cigarette, his most capable assistant, was sealed off from the very beginning of the competition.

But even if he was sealed, Cao Mingxun still felt uncertain. Just because you wrote the rules doesn't mean I have to abide by them. As long as I am not caught directly, maybe everyone will stick to the rules and ignore them.

After all, there is no such rule in most other competitions around the world.

When Cao Mingxun participated in the last Fujitsu Cup in Japan, everyone was still smoking happily in the room. Why do you in China make an exception and not allow us to smoke?

During the first game, Cao Mingxun tentatively pretended not to know the rules. While playing chess, he pretended to unconsciously pick up a cigarette and light it up.

But the opponents on the other side did not react at all and even turned a blind eye to his smoking behavior.

Just when Cao Mingxun was feeling proud of his success, the referee came over and reminded him not to smoke before even a minute had passed.

If you can't resist the urge to smoke, there is a designated smoking area outside where you can smoke and come back later, but the competition venue is a non-smoking area.

Cao Mingxun originally wanted to appeal, but was clearly told that the rules did not allow it and there was no room for maneuver.

If Cao Mingxun ignores the warnings after several times, the referee has the right to directly award the loss.

In the end, Cao Mingxun could only helplessly put out his cigarette. He died before he could finish the several packs of cigarettes he had prepared.

Now even the last chorus of his song was ruthlessly blocked from his ears by Zhan Lang. How could he continue the competition?
Cao Mingxun's tricks were originally intended to make his opponent collapse mentally, but after a series of failed attempts, coupled with the fact that he was already at a disadvantage on the board, Cao Mingxun's own mentality was already very bad.

Even if Cao Mingxun does have the courage to win or lose, he can adjust his state in a very short time.

However, faced with the corrupt situation and an opponent who was stronger than himself, Cao Mingxun was overwhelmed and felt that there was really nothing he could do.

There is no way to save the day.

In the end, Zhan Lang killed Cao Mingxun. Although the dragon dances in the middle game seemed very exciting, in fact, the situation was always firmly in Zhan Lang's hands and he never let go.

The game lasted less than 150 moves, and it was over before either side had even used half of their time.

Cao Mingxun could only shake his head and sigh as he looked at the chessboard. In this game, the two sides started fighting directly from the lower left corner, and then affected the overall situation.

Every step of the game was based on constant calculations of attack and kill. In fact, as long as Zhan Lang made a slight miscalculation, Cao Mingxun felt that he would have a chance to turn the tables.

Because Zhan Lang was also very tense in this game, and every step was to kill himself. But unfortunately, in the end, Zhan Lang's condition was obviously better than his own, and he did not make any mistakes that could affect the outcome.

In the end, the only one who fails is yourself...

Cao Mingxun leaned weakly on the chair. Now he could clearly realize that it was really impossible to defeat Zhan Lang head-on.

I can't say that I was able to play at 100% in these two games, but at least I played at 95%, which can definitely be considered a good and normal performance. However, the final result was a very helpless defeat.

Cao Mingxun knew that even if he really couldn't exert 100% or even 120% of his strength, the result would probably not change much.

In a complete state, even if Zhan Lang is lucky enough to win a game occasionally, in this five-game match, the most he can get is an invalid victory, which will not have any impact on the final result.

have no choice?

sorrow?

Is this the world's number one Go player?

Is it really impossible for me to win the world championship?
No, there must still be a chance!

Compared with Cao Mingxun's pain and despair, the sponsors and the Chinese delegation in the laboratory couldn't help laughing.

"Today's game ended really early. It ended not long after lunch. We still had time to go back and take a nap."

As the sponsor, Mr. Ying Changqi couldn't help laughing: "I am so excited that I can't sleep. Although I expected this result, I am still very happy.

We're already 2-0 and have the match point. If we win one more game, the champion will be decided!"

Ying Changqi organized this competition just to give China a world champion, so naturally he doesn't want the benefits to go to outsiders.

From now on, the outcome of the game seems to be completely determined and there will be no surprises.

Although before this, no one felt there was anything surprising.

“To be honest, the situation at the time of the closing this morning could have ended immediately. There was no need to continue.

This guy Cao Mingxun even forced himself to eat a meal, and after eating, he spent some time messing around before admitting defeat. It was a complete waste of time."

In fact, when it came to the hundredth move, Fang Yuan felt that Cao Mingxun had no hope. The close combat seemed very tense, but with Zhan Lang's linear calculation ability, there would be no unexpected situations.

The fact was just as everyone guessed. There was no good result after Cao Mingxun continued to fight, and in the end he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Tomorrow's game will decide the champion of the Yingshi Cup. By then, Zhan Lang will be the double Go world champion of the Japan Fujitsu Cup and the China Yingshi Cup.

If it were any other sport, it would be a Grand Slam, right? "

"Indeed, after all, there are only these two in the World Championships."

Apart from China and Japan, no one knows which country would want to host the Go World Championships.

"Zhan Lang is only in his twenties this year. If he has another ten years of professional career, he will win several Grand Slams, right?"

"I feel bad when you say that. Damn it! I want to win a world championship too."

Some chess players who were still in their professional careers couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard this. Zhan Lang would have to be in his thirties at the very least in his peak period, which meant there was still nearly ten years left.

During this period, the battle waves have basically been on an upward trend. Even if there is a slight decline in the later period, it is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to really win.

How many people's defenses must be broken during the ten years of invincibility?

Zhan Lang, you have blocked the way for those who come later!

Fang Yuan even shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he was born early and there were many national champions in Chinese Go. Otherwise, he would have become a championless person.

"As long as we work hard, there will always be someone who can defeat Zhan Lang."

Hearing the naive words of the person next to him, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes not knowing the truth is actually a good thing.

It was as if I had seen the truth about this world, and what was left was a complete feeling of powerlessness.

Let alone ten years, do we really still have hope in twenty years?
