Chapter 426: Small Eyes High, Two Low Clamps

At the same time, in Kyoto, South Korea, at Samshuang Training Institute.

This year's Sanshuang Cup World Go Championship will be held here as usual.

Today, the round of 16 will be contested, and the most watched match will be the one between Chinese celebrity Tianyuan Ni Jue and the world's number one Liu Shixian.

In the first round of the round of 32, Ni Jue successfully defeated South Korean veteran Zhao Suxuan without showing her sword, showing excellent competitive form.

Liu Shixian also defeated Li Zhaokai without any bloodshed, which was a relief.

In the second round of draw, the two met and immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience.

Although based on past experience, Ni Jue would only use his sword in the title match, and in other matches he would just "play it up" and show his Buddhist style. Logically speaking, he would be at a disadvantage against Young Master Liu.

But...when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

In this Sanshuang Cup, Ni Jue, the flying knife expert, chose to exchange his seed quota to compete in the Sanshuang Cup, which was unusual for him when Yu Liu Shixian was in the limelight. This made many chess fans imagine.

You know, once the famous Tianyuan Flying Knife comes out, no one in the whole of China dares to say that they can have the upper hand! I wonder how confident Master Liu is in catching the knife!
In addition, it can be seen from the recent Weiqi League and the first round of the Sanshuang Cup that Ni Jue is in very good shape at the moment. If he is willing to show his sword, it is not impossible for him to defeat the world's number one player!
...

As the game was about to start, both sides came to the chess table and sat down.

The younger Master Liu greeted them warmly and gently as always:
"Hello, Ni Jiuduan!
“It’s really not easy to see you in South Korea!

"It feels... like it's been ages since we last ran into each other."

"Well, it should be the third Yumeli Lily Cup in 19."

Ni Jue, who was still secretly sighing in her heart, "I actually ran into this," nodded and responded:

"At that time, you were hailed as the hope of South Korean Go. Now you are the winner of seven championships and the recognized number one in the world!"

"Ah, I'm just lucky. The so-called 'number one in the world' is an absurd claim."

Young Master Liu said modestly:

"In particular, I heard that there is a saying among Chinese chess fans, 'If you haven't taught me the flying knife, you are not the top player.' It means that chess players who have never been taught the flying knife by you are not qualified to be called the top players in the chess world.

“It has always been a regret in my heart that I cannot learn from you about the complex changes in the layout in the official competition.

"I wonder if you can give me a chance today?"

This guy... really has an aura that is unrivaled in the world.

Seeing Liu Shixian acting with ease, Ni Jue couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but he appeared calm on the surface.

"Hey, Liu Jiuduan, what are you talking about?
"I am just a little more in-depth in layout research than my peers."

"You are too modest!"

After some polite exchanges, both sides quickly started guessing who would go first at the referee's signal.

As a result, Liu Shixian played black and Ni Jue played white.

Hmm...my luck is just average...

Ni Jue was slightly dissatisfied with this result.

Under the Yinghan rules, the initial AI winning rates of the black and white sides are basically the same, and the white pieces do not have an advantage.

If he plays black, as the first player, it is relatively easier for him to lead the situation and use the flying knife.

However, this regret only flashed through his mind for a moment, and then Ni Jue concentrated all his attention on the competition.

After the guessing of the first move is completed, all the tables start playing chess at the same time following the command from the referee.

"Please give me your guidance." Young Master Liu bowed first.

Ni Jue also returned the gift, and then the number one man in the world began his plan.

Both sides started with Star Xiaomu against Erlianxing, and then they clicked on each other's Wave Three Three.

Afterwards, Ni Jue, who had the first move, pondered for a moment and hung up in the lower right room, intending to decide which flying knife to use after trying out the opponent to fight against the world's number one man who had just completed the "Dongjiang Miracle" not long ago.

Unexpectedly, the young master of the Liu family gave the famous Chinese Tian Yuan an unexpected choice, which made Ni Jue narrow his eyes.

After the black chess piece squeezed out an advantage in the upper right corner, it responded to the white chess piece's hanging corner in the lower right corner:
Hand 21, two-room low clamp!

...

...

"Actually... it's two low-lying rooms?"

At the same time, at the Muhu Go Dojo.

Seeing Young Master Liu's response, Li Wangyuan couldn't help but be surprised.

However, this reaction made Hua Ran a little confused:

"Hmm? Li Baduan, what are you surprised about?

"Isn't this a common practice?"

But before Li Wangyuan could speak, Rui Zhao explained on behalf of the teacher:
"Ran Ran, this is indeed a common response.

"But... with the small eye hanging high and the two spaces low, White has the means to lead to drastic changes.

"I don't think it's a problem for other chess players to play like this, but when playing against Senior Brother Ni, who is famous for his flying knives, everyone has always tried to avoid complicated changes!" "Of course I know that."

Hua Ran was still confused:

"But...will Ni Jiudan really fight in a non-title fight?
"You know, in recent years, all of his sword-playing competitions have been at the Tianyuan and Masters tournaments, not even at the World Championships!"

"That's true..."

Rui Zhao hesitated for a moment, then looked at his teacher Li Wangyuan, trying to hear his judgment.

Rui Zhao knew that what Hua Ran said was true, but she also felt it was strange that Ni Jue chose to exchange the seed quota for the Sanshuang Cup this time.

"Teacher Li, why did Senior Brother Ni go against his usual practice and choose to exchange for the San Shuang Cup seeds this time?

"Didn't he always say... that he didn't want to waste the quota?"

Facing the students' straightforward questions, Li Wangyuan did not give a direct answer, but only said meaningfully:

"I can only say that based on my understanding of Xiao Ni...

"Since he did this, it means he thinks it's not a waste to give him this seed quota!"

As expected, China's famous figure Tian Yuan did not think about it for too long.

In the next move, Ni Jue chose to fly - this is the most intense and complicated follow-up move!

Faced with the invitation from the world's number one man to test his sword skills, the flying knife expert showed his weapons!
In response to this move, the black piece will naturally fly across. Then the white piece will charge, the black piece will cut, the white piece will stand, and the black piece will grow. All of these are the same, and neither side can give in.

The two sides form a windmill-like pattern in the lower right corner, which looks very elegant.

But those who are familiar with Go know that behind this seemingly elegant and beautiful pattern, there is an extremely sharp blade!
After a brief period of peace and tranquility, Ni Jue took the lead in causing trouble!

In the 28th move, the white chess piece flies into the corner and seizes the black chess piece base.

Young Master Liu responded without hesitation and flew out to counterattack the two white pieces on the left!

The white chess piece then jumps up, piercing the elephant's eye and splitting the black chess piece. This is the most drastic variation branch in this situation!

The black piece rushed down without hesitation and also cut off the white piece.

Only twelve moves after the black pieces made two low passes, the black and white pieces each had three unstable pieces wrestling together in the small lower right corner. It was a close combat and tit-for-tat!
Then the white piece pressed down, the black piece jumped, the white piece grew again, and the black piece flew down. The two players made moves very quickly and in an orderly manner, and it was obvious that they had done very in-depth research on this local change.

After exchanging a move with the black pieces on the outside, the white pieces chose to top at 33. The two white pieces escaped on the left and attacked the four black pieces on the right, which was the meeting point, giving the choice to Liu Shixian.

Of course, during this process, if the world's number one person makes any mistakes, Ni Jue, as an expert in flying knives, will definitely not miss any opportunity to punish the other party.

At this moment, Liu Shixian, who had just been able to kill in seconds, finally stopped for a moment and made his choice after a little thought.

Place the chess pieces on the left side to capture two white pieces.

Ni Jue immediately pulled down from the right side and attacked the black pieces on the right side.

Black's position is the key point of attack and defense. Ni Jue, who is familiar with the changes here, skillfully pulls the corner first, exchanges with the black chess and then blocks it, ensuring the corner is alive.

Seeing that the white corner has been stabilized, the black chess also starts to deal with the black chess on the right side.

Clamping is the predetermined means, after which white pieces stick, black pieces cross, white pieces fly, and black pieces rush, and both sides have an option.

Although Young Master Liu's response became slower and slower as the process progressed, he did not make any mistakes. After thirty moves, Ni Jue had almost finished the change, but he did not gain any advantage.

The famous Chinese Tian Yuan had no choice but to block the attack.

The black piece immediately jumped and made contact with the black piece above, and the whole change came to an end - this was another move that Ni Jue had studied and confirmed to be the best choice!
"Tsk... you are worthy of being the best in the world!

"There is basically no big problem with Liu Shixian's response!"

At this time, Li Wangyuan sighed deeply, but he could do nothing about it.

That's how flying knives work: if the opponent really makes the most correct response, the person throwing the knife has no other choice.

However, Ni Jue did not seem frustrated because the flying knife failed to achieve any results.

Until this moment, the famous Chinese celebrity Tian Yuan in the live broadcast still had a calm expression, as if he was waiting for something.

In the next move, he broke three pieces in the lower left corner, seeing the big field, and it was also the AI's first choice!
Young Master Liu thought for a moment and began to shape it at the lower right.

All white pieces should be occupied, and finally the tiger should occupy the live piece.

At this point, the entire complex changes derived from the two low clips on the lower right came to an end, and Young Master Liu did not make any obvious mistakes.

Seeing this result, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room seemed a little solemn.

Everyone understood that if Ni Jue did not gain any advantage after the flying knife was thrown, it would be extremely difficult for him to win the game against the young master of the Liu family who had obvious advantages in other aspects.

"Uh...it's okay!"

Seeing that Rui Zhao and Li Wangyuan were silent for a while, Hua Ran, as an assistant, hurried to help liven up the atmosphere:
“There’s still a lot of space in the upper left corner of the chessboard!
"In the change in the lower right corner, Liu Shixian didn't get hit by the sword, and Ni Jiuduan can deploy it again in the upper left corner... Eh?!"

But before Hua Ran could finish his words, something strange happened on the board!
Black's next move is to place the white chess piece in the middle of the board, intending to launch a fierce attack on it!

But this seemingly positive move caused the AI ​​win rate curve, which had been basically stable, to suddenly fall into a big pit:

The first person in the world...

He was stabbed!!!
