"Lei Qi, you mean...

"The reason why Black made this move here is not... because there is a piece in the corner?"

Half an hour later, in the Chinese research room in Tongge Building.

Seeing the small tip of the white chess piece, Liu Shixian first tapped and then stabbed, and then directly combined his moves. Facing this move, Sun Yi immediately began to think for a long time, and this thought lasted for more than 20 minutes.

This move may not seem strange, but it directly hit the AI's choice!
Looking at the remaining time on both sides, Liu Shixian still has twenty minutes, while Sun Yi only has less than three minutes!

Seeing this situation, Shang Chaotian, who was watching the game here, couldn't help but ask his students about the secret.

Because of his old age and long absence from the battlefield, although he could realize that the reason why Sun Yi was thinking for a long time was because of the changes in the horns, he could only ask his students for advice on what the specific changes were.

“…This is the kind of teacher.

"Here Brother Sun should be thinking whether to make up for the corner."

As one of the most recognized top two players in the world, Lei Qi has thoroughly understood every change in the horn with the help of AI, and began to explain it in detail:
"Black's move is intended to expand the eye position by capturing the pieces in the future, and also to prevent communication with the white pieces on the left by cutting off the pieces.

"As long as the black pieces block the white pieces, then the black pieces can respond in the corners to counter the white pieces' murderous intent.

"If White chooses to block Black from the outside, Black will then have the means to fly back and stand.

"The calculations for the life-or-death fight in the corner are very complicated, but to put it simply, whether White moves to pull back or stand to collect Qi, White moves only one Qi faster!
"Although there are no moves in the corners, all of Black's moves outside the game are first moves!

"After this series of first moves, the black pieces' eye positions suddenly become richer, and even after collecting all the energy, the black pieces can directly escape the first move!

"If we take the initiative to activate this last unstable dragon, Liu Shixian can naturally reverse the situation in one fell swoop!
"So... according to Liu Shixian's idea, the white chess piece should roughly make a move in the corner, and then the black chess piece will jump outward.

"Being able to merge here first will be of great help both in terms of mesh number and eye making!
"So at this time, Brother Sun needs to calculate the changes in the corner and decide whether he can directly block the black pieces from the outside."

Looking at the changes made by the students, Shang Chaotian finally understood everything, but he couldn't help but continue to ask:
"But according to what you said... shouldn't White make another move?
“But why does AI recommend one choice…

"Just seal it from the outside?!"

"Here... I feel like Liu Shixian might have miscalculated."

Lei Qi sighed slightly:
"Although Liu Shixian is now the best in the world, he is no longer the 'Liu Bu Shou' who had a keen sense of attack and killing!"

At this time, Liu Yuhong, who was impatient, immediately asked:

"White... has a trick?"

"Yes, but only this one."

Lei Qi said again:

"It's this move that's sharp all the way - because this move doesn't directly tighten the air, it has a very blind spot. I guess Liu Shixian didn't expect it.

"After finishing the attack here, we have a strong leg all the way and aim to dig up and eat the black pieces in the corner at any time. The best response of black pieces is to stick to them.

"But in these two moves, White played a role of hard leg, which is equivalent to pre-collecting a qi, while Black's move did not play a role in the killing. At this point, White was about to use two qi, and Black's plan to use a series of forced qi collection to survive the big dragon failed, and he could only beg for survival.

"According to the AI's calculations, after the black pieces failed to gather their strength in the first move, they could only pull back and capture and grow. However, this not only put them at a disadvantage, but also left the white pieces on the left in a very efficient way. At first glance, the white pieces were clearly ahead! At this point, the white pieces entered the finale with a three-and-a-half-point advantage!
"Although we must admit that Liu Shixian is a strong contender for the title of 'World's No. 1 Official', Sun Ge's official game is definitely at the top five level in the world. An advantage of one or two points may be hard to say, but an advantage of three and a half points may be very difficult for Liu Shixian to catch up with!
“So… the key now is whether Brother Sun can calculate the changes in the horns.

"If we can figure it out... this game has a good chance of success!"

However, although Lei Qi gave an optimistic judgment, Liu Yuhong said anxiously:
"But now the monkey only has one and a half minutes left, if he goes any further the countdown will start!

"If this is a mistake, the situation will be reversed in an instant!"

"Yu Hong, don't be anxious!
"Didn't Rui Zhao say that there was no problem?"

At this time, Shang Chaotian raised his mobile phone which was playing the live broadcast of "Go Xiao Zhao" in a low voice. In the live broadcast, Rui Zhao had already started discussing with Hua Ran where the white chess piece would seize the big field after the lower left variation was completed, as if he didn't think that Sun Yi might make a mistake here at all!
Although he was trying to comfort her, Shang Chaotian himself couldn't help but sweat over Rui Zhao's behavior of "opening champagne at halftime".

If it was Rui Zhao who was playing chess, Shang Chaotian really believed that she could figure it out.

But if it was Sun Yi, even though Liu Shixian gave him a chance here, facing the test from this iron opponent who had not won for seven years, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but have a big question mark in his mind as to whether the "Strength Identifier" could defeat his inner demons.

But at this moment, Sun Yi, who had only a little over a minute left, seemed to have finally made his decision.

In the 106th move, the white pieces fly to block and force the black pieces to attack in the corner!

Seeing this move, the three masters and apprentices couldn't help but be cheered up - although this was not the most crucial move, it seemed as if Sun Yi had already determined the optimal solution for the corner!

In the live broadcast, Liu Shixian seemed quite surprised by this move, but he took out the planned method without much thought - Xiaofei in the corner!
The subsequent blocking of white chess pieces is inevitable, and the establishment of black chess pieces can also be done in seconds!

In less than ten seconds, the situation had reached the most critical point that Lei Qi had just set!

At this moment, everyone in the seminar room felt their hearts in their throats, and even the live broadcast of "Go Xiaozhao" on Shang Chaotian's mobile phone suddenly went silent.

However, this moment of silence only lasted for a short moment...

Because for the next move, Sun Yi still made it immediately without any hesitation!
In the 110th move, white pieces are sharp all the way!

AI is the right choice!
...

...

"Oh my god! Monkey King is awesome!!!
"This move has completely confused Liu Shixian!!!"

Ten minutes later, at the training base of the Weiqi League Pengze team.

Seeing Liu Shixian frowning and thinking hard on the live broadcast screen, Fang Zhaoxiang, who was also watching the game with his teammates today, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Brother Hen! I feel like the last time I saw Liu Shixian so confused was when you tricked him in the 2023 Sanshuang Cup!" "Nonsense, he didn't frown at that time!"

Although Tang Guansheng often talked about the highlight moment of blocking Liu Shixian in the Sanshuang Cup, Hen Ge always spoke and acted truthfully:

"Although he looked a little regretful at the time, he seemed to be very open about losing the game... When we reviewed the game, we were still talking and laughing.

"But right now...it seems like he really doesn't want to lose!"

"I guess he always thought he still had the advantage... at least he was definitely not inferior!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but interrupt:

"He probably thinks that as long as the lower left position can be successfully formed according to his intention, the possibility of winning the game by official moves is still very high!
"But this missed hand is so sharp, it's really fatal!"

"Ah!

"A traitor who has betrayed the way of fighting must be deprived of his keen fighting sense! This is what he deserves!"

Huang Bo Nan, who was standing aside, felt as if he had gotten revenge.

By the way, Long Bo has lost all six battles against Liu Shixian in his career and has never been able to "kill the traitor with his own hands."

So seeing Liu Shixian being defeated by a Chinese chess player in the World Championship again after so many years, it is not surprising to hear such a tone:
"Sun Yi stood up to the test! He really figured out all the details of this part!

"According to the AI's judgment, the only way for Black to make a comeback is to use the Queen's move. However, if Black plays this way, it will be difficult for him to turn the tables purely by relying on the endgame!"

Time passed by minute by minute. Facing Sun Yi's outstanding performance at the critical moment, Liu Shixian, who had missed a calculation, used up all the remaining reserved time and finally gave his final answer:

Move 111, Black chess piece flies!

Seeing this move, Long Bo immediately shouted:

"This is the winning move! He wants to get this advantage to reverse the situation!
"Monkey, don't fall into my trap and block it! You are now..."

However, before Long Bo could finish his words, Sun Yi's next move appeared on the board:
Move 112, White chess group!
"Oh my god! Monkey King destroyed the group in one second!"

Fang Zhaoxiang exclaimed:

"Just now, when Liu Shixian was spending a lot of time thinking, Sun Yi was also calculating! Now he has figured it out completely!
"He looked like he had figured it out immediately. It was really heartbreaking!"

"This is not just heartbreaking, this is murderous!"

Huang Bonan's voice became even louder:
"After the move just now, the black pieces could only honestly block the eye, and lost two more points!

"The gap of five to six goals in the endgame... Facing Sun Yi, even Young Master Liu will definitely not be able to make up for it!

"I guess Black can only continue to play tricks, right?
"Sure enough, the next move of the black chess piece, Xiao Fei, clearly hoped that the white chess piece would move in!
"No, Master Liu, don't treat Sun Yi as a fool! You know how much he wants to kill you, Dalong, these past few days!

“Look, the clamp here is down in seconds again!

"Looking back now... Black has no way of surviving the dragon!

"Sun Wukong...he is going to win!!!"

Just as Huang Boyan said, the following attack and defense are almost the same!

Liu Shixian used every move until the very end of the countdown, and even used two delays!
But Sun Yi remained calm and merciless. He had already calculated his life and death, and every move he made was in seconds, just to force the black dragon into a dead end!
In the 127th move, seeing that there was no hope of keeping the pieces alive, Liu Shixian chose to clamp, trying to counterattack the white pieces on the left side in a last-ditch effort!
But at this time, Sun Yi remained calm and showed strong linear calculation ability.

After blocking the crossing, he chose his moves! By move 142, all the white pieces were played in a row, without any problems!
Even when the black chess piece was threatening the entire white chess piece on the left, Sun Yi took the lead in making a counterattack in the center and began to attack the black chess pieces on the periphery, as if he had gone crazy!!!
"Mu Da Mu Da! All Mu Da!"

Seeing this, Tang Guansheng already felt excited!

“Sun Wukong played the game so beautifully, even after he confirmed that he had slain the dragon, he did not back down at all and just picked the most ruthless move!
"Look at Liu Shixian's expression. I haven't seen Liu Shixian so embarrassed in a long time!"

Fang Zhaoxiang nodded: "I can't help it. Seeing the big dragon being slaughtered and entering the countdown without time to think about it, this feeling is quite uncomfortable..."

"Pull him down!"

Long Bo directly refuted:
"The more he thinks about this game, the more he realizes that he is already at a dead end. It would be better for him to be reborn sooner rather than later!"

Seeing that the two big brothers in the team looked like war criminals, Chu Jun on the side couldn't help but say:

"Although I feel that... isn't this hand squeeze somewhat unnecessary? Don't you want to accidentally give up a good game?"

"What do you mean it's unnecessary?! This is a three-game match! The momentum of this game will determine the direction of the third game!"

Long Bo immediately retorted:
"Xiao Chu, you are twenty years old now, and you will soon be among the top chess players!

“I can tell you that when facing an opponent, you need to have this momentum!

"Go is not only a test of chess skills, but also a test of mental will! You can't lose your momentum!
"Just like Rui Zhao, no matter if you are the 14-time champion or the God of Nongshim, I will chase you all over the street like a dog! Even if I lose, I will scare you into a sweat!

“It’s the same with Sun Yi. If you’re still struggling after I’ve slain your dragon, I’ll get angry!

"What the hell is this! If you struggle again, I'll kill you again! Let's see if you behave yourself!"

"Uh... um."

Although these words came from Long Bo, an avid dragon slayer, so Chu Jun didn't dare to believe them completely, but at the moment Sun Yi's extremely strong momentum on the chessboard had been fully demonstrated through his one tougher attack after another!
By the 182nd move, seeing that there was no chance of any struggle left, Liu Shixian chose to resign, thus ending his seven-year undefeated record against Sun Yi!
The spinning top, which had been whipped all along, seized the opportunity this time and tightly wrapped around the whip, returning a powerful blow to its long-time enemy with a powerful dragon-slaying game! The two sides will fight to the death in the third round!
But at the end of the game, Sun Yi did not show the same excitement as he did in the semi-finals.

He was full of murderous intent on the chessboard just now, but now he began to review the game with his opponent very calmly.

It was as if he had just finished a very tense game with a peer, nothing unusual at all... (End of this chapter)
