Um...here...

I must have been wrong...

At 7:10 p.m. on July , in the chess-playing room on the rooftop of Tongge Tower.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Yi, who was playing chess, finally realized that something was wrong.

Even though the situation on the board had changed since Liu Shixian's move, it was different from yesterday's pre-match preparations...

But Sun Yi never expected that this seemingly inevitable response would lead to such a terrible situation!
No wonder he simply flew away when I was hanging in the lower right corner... Was it a bait to confuse me?

The pace of sticking just now was not right, and the alternation between turning and jumping afterwards was also my fault...

And when he clicked on it afterwards and counterattacked according to the established plan, he fell completely into the trap!
Now if I forcefully fill in the pieces to keep them alive, the white pieces on the outside will capture them, and either the black pieces in the middle will be attacked fiercely, or the space on the right will be broken, while the white pieces have no weak pieces in the overall situation.

But if the opening outside is sealed, then the white pieces on the top will be completely empty, and all the pieces just moved will be lost...

estimate……

...I have already taken over the game, right?

Young Master Liu is truly worthy of being the best in the world and is even competing for the best in history!
To win a game against him...is not easy!
Thinking of this, Sun Yi, who had been concentrating on the chessboard since the final, couldn't help but look up at his opponent in front of him.

Liu Shixian is still staring at the chessboard, but judging from his overall calm expression, he is indeed optimistic about the current situation.

Seeing this, Sun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he tried to maintain his composure, as he had said to his fiancée:

Naturally, he still desires to be a world champion.

In the previous game, thanks to Liu Shixian's rare missed calculation, he won the precious championship point. He was determined to fight hard in this game!
Even when Liu Shixian played chess according to the layout he had studied with Rui Zhao and Lei Qi last night, he felt that perhaps he had a great chance of winning this game!
But who would have thought that the ups and downs would come so quickly!
The hope that had just ignited in my heart was shattered by the cold reality.

However, Sun Yi did not feel depressed at this time. Instead, he just lowered his eyes and tried to adjust his breathing again.

Although he still had hope in his heart, he had already become accustomed to failure, having experienced it countless times.

When the tender heart is worn out by repeated failures and becomes thickly calloused, even the roughest stone can only scratch a shallow mark on the surface.

...Young Master Liu.

What was the most glorious moment of your life?
Was it when the main general won six consecutive victories in the Nongshim Cup against all odds?

Was it when you won the Lily Cup in your dream by defeating seven opponents alone?
or is it...

When he wins his 17th title in the future and is officially crowned the best in history?
But...whatever!
You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, a chaebol son, and were recognized as a rising star by the entire South Korean chess world.

As for me, I am just a migrant worker born in a poor town, and I am often laughed at as a "strength identifier" and "the one who lost to the female chess player twice in a row".

In your brilliant career, I should just be the backdrop for your many glorious achievements in the Nongshim Cup and the World Championships.

Even the victory that was hard-won yesterday would be ridiculed as "finally the guaranteed win" and become a laughing stock in the future.

But for me, who always struggled to get to the World Championship finals, the most glorious moment...

The time is now!!!
When this thought flashed through his mind, the ripples that had just passed through Sun Yi's heart returned to calm again.

The former Chinese chess master refocused on the chessboard and gathered all his energy to make his final decision decisively:

Move 55, rush!
Abandon the entire top! Bet all your hopes for this game on the thick middle! ! !
...

...

“It’s a life-and-death struggle!

"Sun Yi, the ninth dan, indeed made the exact same judgment as Sister Rui Zhao!

"He rushed and stuck to it, choosing to abandon the entire top! It can be said that he is very, very courageous!!!"

At the same time, in the live broadcast room of [Go Xiaozhao].

Seeing that Sun Yi had finally made his decision after a long consideration, Hua Ran, who was still analyzing the subsequent situation with Rui Zhao, immediately followed up to explain:

"But Liu Shixian did not hesitate about this move, and immediately added another move on the top, which captured the entire black chess piece on the top. We can see that the white space on the top is very large!
"I have to say that Black is now at a clear disadvantage...

"Sister Rui Zhao, do you think Sun Yi can make a good jump next?"

"Of course you can, this is almost the only one here!"

Rui Zhao pursed his lips and nodded slightly, answering with great confidence:

“If you want to recover the points, you must kill the dragon or use the external force from above to build a large enough shape.

"As a top chess player, Senior Brother Sun can definitely make this move!"

Sure enough, a few seconds later, in the 59th move, the black chess piece chose to jump up from the lower right!

In an instant, the black pieces formed a position on the right side and the middle of the entire chessboard, although there were still some leaks, but it was indeed enough to compete with the white pieces above! However, although Rui Zhao's tone was very positive, Hua Ran was really not optimistic at this time.

Because now the AI ​​gives black chess a winning rate of only 8.1%!

Not even 60 moves had passed and the black pieces had already taken over. What was even more despairing was that the person he was facing was the number one player in the world!
As we all know, unlike chess players like Lin Ruixin who would go crazy from time to time, Liu Shixian has a strong ability to control the situation when he has an advantage.

If he wants to turn the tables when he has been beaten by him, even if Lei Qi comes, he may not be able to turn the tables even once in twenty rounds. How easy is it to reverse the situation?

And the direction of the situation seems to confirm Hua Ran's judgment.

In the 60th move, the white chess piece jumped down steadily and hit the target again!
However, facing the solid response of White chess, Sun Yi's moves became more aggressive!
In the 61st move, the black piece attacks the lower right side! On the one hand, it aims to attack the lower right side of the white piece, while on the other hand, it expands the middle position.

Liu Shixian did not choose the most conventional long move, but instead stuck to it, trying to impact the black pieces. The black pieces simply jumped to protect the shape of the pieces while further expanding the shape of the middle abdomen.

At this point, the large space in the middle of the black chess piece has begun to take shape, and the white chess piece can no longer sit idly by!

So in the 64th move, White directly made a hanging move and began to invade and eliminate.

This move was actually not very deep. Liu Shixian, who held the advantage, had no intention of taking any risks, and his cautious and serious attitude was evident.

But even so, Sun Yi, who was behind in the situation, still attacked fiercely - in move 65, the black chess piece came forward with great momentum, showing his intention of not letting the world's number one player escape unscathed!
“…That’s it, Senior Brother Sun!”

Despite the unfavorable situation, Zhaojun still tried her best to cheer Sun Yi up:
"Last time when I played chess with you, Liu Jiudan missed a winning move in the chaos!

"As long as the situation is chaotic enough, even if the opponent is Liu Jiudan, it may not be possible to win simply!"

In response to Sun Yi's biting, Liu Shixian thought for a moment and then chose to jump out!

This move aims to break through the weak position of the black chess encirclement, which is exactly what the AI ​​chose!
But how could Sun Yi, who had already made up his mind to fight Liu Shixian to the end, let him settle down easily! He also blocked the white chess piece's path with one jump!
The two sides soon got into a melee in the middle of the board. Facing Sun Yi's desperate attack, Liu Shixian still maintained a fairly high quality of his moves, with his winning rate always hovering within a range of five points above and below 90%, but he was unable to simplify the situation!
The white dragon could not find a simple and stable way to deal with it. For a moment, there were many clues in the middle of the chessboard, and Hua Ran was a little confused by the various recommended points of the AI!

Finally, seeing that he could not get rid of the black pieces, Liu Shixian decided to try to make a move on the spot.

In the 78th move, the white pieces pierce four lines, and the black pieces naturally stick to it. After that, the white pieces take the initiative to capture, and the black pieces stick to it again.

Afterwards, the white pieces stick first, aiming to cut off the opponent, and then the black pieces stick again.

When the white chess piece again stabbed in the middle of the abdomen to fill the shape of the chess piece, Sun Yi began to think for a long time.

Indeed, although this move has the meaning of threatening the black chess breakpoint, for the time being, the next move is nothing more than breaking the black chess. It is more about protecting its own chess shape and building eye positions.

This gave Sun Yi a valuable opportunity to counterattack, so he naturally had to make a careful decision.

"Here... AI recommends clicking in or leaning in from the inside...

"I wonder if Sun Yi, 9th Dan, can figure it out."

"Senior Brother Sun should be able to see these two moves, but... they both seem a little bit off!"

The contemporary Zhaojun frowned slightly, and while changing her poses with the help of AI, she added:
"I think...

"Will Liu Jiuduan's move to threaten this breakpoint be a bit of a loss of balance?
"Brother Sun... could you consider giving me a hand?"

"stand?"

Hua Ran was stunned. For a moment he couldn't find any of the top three recommendations from AI or the possible key points that could be called "standing".

"Rui, Sister Rui Zhao...

"Where is there such a hand here?"

However, Rui Zhao ignored Hua Ran at this time. He just stared at the board intently, and it was obvious that he was calculating something.

Coincidentally, Sun Yi, who had just easily responded to Liu Shixian's series of borrowed first moves, was still silently pondering when facing White's borrowed first move.

There was no movement in the game room, and no sound in the live broadcast room. For a moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

But just when Hua Ran couldn't help but want to remind him again, Rui Zhao seemed to suddenly figure out something and muttered:
"Hmm... I think I can do it and test Liu Jiudan!
“Although the AI ​​may think this move is not necessarily a good one, a human mind may not notice it!”

“…Huh?
"So... Sister Rui Zhao, which move are you talking about?!"

"Hmm? It's the handstand on the lower right corner!"

"Bottom right corner?"

Hua Ran looked at the situation in the direction Rui Zhao had said, but he felt that this move was completely out of the main battlefield in the middle of the board, and it didn't look like a good move at all.

"Sister Rui Zhao, are you sure..."

Hua Ran originally wanted to confirm with Rui Zhao whether she had said something wrong, but before she finished asking the question, she swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.

Because at this time, Sun Yi finally took action after a long period of thinking!
Black's 85th move, in the lower right corner...
