"Well……

"Both of them are in very good condition today!"

Five minutes later, in the players' rest area of ​​the Tokyo International Conference Center.

The hot tea in Jiao Kai's hand rippled, reflecting the dancing light spots on the electronic chessboard on the screen.

Since Rui Zhao's shoulder charge on the left, the two great masters of fast chess have fought for several rounds. However, just as the decisive battle for the world's number one in martial arts novels will never end hastily, the two sides are still tied!
"...You said that the white pieces are on the top and the black pieces are blocking the crossing. These two moves are not hard to think of, so forget about them! Then the white pieces will break down the bottom, the black pieces will clamp one space, and the white pieces will counter-clamp another space. These choices are not that easy to judge!

"But both of them chose every move exactly! There was no deviation at all!
"It really deserves to be the final of the 'First Rapid Chess Tournament in 4,000 Years' hyped by the Japanese media!"

"Indeed, this is undoubtedly the world's top fast chess competition!"

Lu Wenjie's knuckles tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa, the rhythm like a countdown:
"They are the only two players who have maintained an undefeated record in the Zhongjing Asian Games. It's truly a match between ace and ace!

“Both sides have very solid basic skills. It’s still a bit unrealistic to think that they can break through the opponent in such a relatively flat situation!

"Next, it depends on what Rui Zhao, who has the first move, will choose!"

Soon, Zhaojun of that time gave a reply in her own style!

The LCD screen glowed with a cold blue light. In the 31st move, the black chess piece was like a silver shuttle flying through the clouds, accurately blocking the throat on the left side of the chessboard and rushing forward!

This move of splitting two and expanding, while strengthening itself, is also aimed at the thick white chess pieces in the upper left corner. It is both a battering ram that breaks open the city gate and a secret sentry that monitors the increasingly thin city walls!
However, Liu Shixian seemed unaware of the danger at his back, and the white chess piece suddenly leaped up from below, this jump was like a double-headed spear piercing through the fog, stretching his own muscles and bones, while pointing the cold light at the black pieces on both sides.

Seeing that Liu Shixian turned a blind eye, Rui Zhao's 33rd move came out without even thinking!

The black chess piece directly pierced the breakpoint of the white chess piece on the upper left! It was like a sharp spike piercing a drum, ready to pierce the most vulnerable gap between the dragon's scales!

However, the number one man in the world had already been prepared for Rui Zhao's subsequent measures.

Liu Shixian's counterattack was as fast as the refraction of mirror light. The moment the white chess piece was pushed into the black corner, the upper left corner suddenly revealed the signs of a vortex of fighting.

The change after the white chess piece is pulled up in the corner is a one-way move, and each move of both sides is an option!
The AI ​​winning rate curve is still like a straight line, with almost no fluctuations!

In the 41st move, Rui Zhaoti robbed the opponent, and the black and white dragons quickly bit and entangled with each other in the upper left corner, and began to disturb the overall situation.

"Robbery...?"

But seeing this, Shang Chaotian, who had been watching the battle silently, frowned slightly and said worriedly:
"Rui Zhao's 33rd stab was a bit impulsive!"

...

...

"……Why!

"Compared to Liu Shixian, Rui Zhao's internal strength is still lacking!"

At 2:40 p.m. on the same day, in Yuzhou City, China, at the training base of the Yuzhou Team of the Chinese Weiqi League.

Looking at the current 56-move board and Black's 31.2% win rate, Dai Ran, who usually doesn't like to talk much, couldn't help but sigh with some worry, and opened up a conversation for once:

“Black’s stab in move 33…to be honest, it’s not very good.

“Although this chess move itself is nothing special, for Liu Shixian, it is definitely too much to expect him to stick to it.

"The two-way pull he made here is indeed a good move. If the White piece wins this ko, there is no need to make up for the break. If the White piece loses, the overall weight of the White piece becomes lighter, so there is no need to make up for the break. It can be said that the effect of the White piece's stab is reduced to the greatest extent.

"What's more troublesome is that this kind of capture that starts at the layout stage requires a very high level of inner strength from the chess player. If you make a wrong judgment, your chances of winning will drop drastically.

"Fighting this kind of robbery with Liu Shixian will definitely be a loss for Rui Zhao!"

"……indeed."

Ji Qiujuan, who was standing by, stared at him and expressed his agreement:

“Although Rui Zhao doesn’t have any obvious weaknesses now, except for his sense of chaos and linear calculation, he is probably still inferior to Liu Shixian in other aspects.

"It was not a wise choice to proactively throw the dagger and give Liu Shixian the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and enter into this kind of fight.

"What's even more admirable is that up to now, Liu Shixian's time is almost not much behind Rui Zhao - I don't know when was the last time I saw this situation!
"I'm not behind in time, and I'm ahead in the situation. I'm facing Rui Zhao, the 'fast chess Athena'...

“I have to say, the number one in the world, the God of Nongshim, is indeed worthy of his reputation!”

But perhaps because he felt that his words were a bit too encouraging for the opponent, the new captain of the Yuzhou team tried to smooth it over:
"But fortunately, thanks to this robbery, the situation in the lower left is becoming increasingly chaotic. This may be good news for Rui Zhao's future performance."

"…But I think Rui Zhao still needs to cut the Gordian knot!"

After a moment's hesitation, Dai Ran gave his opinion:

“Although she hasn’t made any serious mistakes so far, her winning rate has indeed been declining.

"If she continues to fight with Liu Shixian over the robbery, I'm worried that she will be in a state of despair!" "Yes."

Ji Qiujuan agreed and said:

“She has been thinking about this for a long time, she must be trying to come up with a solution!
"It's just that she usually thinks for a long time when she needs to make linear calculations. In this situation, she is definitely calculating something..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rui Zhao's next move appeared on the screen.

In the 57th move, the black chess piece points to the lower left three!

...

...

"Hmm? Three-three?!
"Isn't this a disaster?!"

At the same time, in Jinling City, Suzhou Province, in the new home of Sun Yi and Liu Yuhong.

The little bird who was watching the battle couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the disaster that Queen Zhaotian had found!
Even though her wedding with Sun Yi is the day after tomorrow, logically the two of them should be busy, but for this highly anticipated peak battle, they really have to make time to watch it no matter what.

However, Rui Zhao's move at the moment made Liu Yuhong, who was watching the game specially, not optimistic - because in her opinion, Rui Zhao's choice of ko was indeed not ideal.

There is a common sense in Go: try not to look for damaging captures.

The so-called "damage to the robbing" means that after placing the robbing, it will harm one's own robbing materials. If one seeks for damage to the robbing in order to win the robbing fight, it is often not worth the loss, so one should generally be careful when seeking for it.

And under the current situation, this point 33 is undoubtedly a loss.

As long as the white pieces block the left side, the black pieces in the corner cannot move out! It can be said that they are lost in vain!
In Liu Yuhong's opinion, using this kind of material to win the fight for the upper left position was not a wise decision.

Sure enough, less than three seconds after Rui Zhao made this move, the white chess block appeared on the live broadcast screen - it can be seen that Liu Shixian readily accepted this loss from his opponent.

"...Monkey! Say something, monkey!
"I can see that this is not the right move, why did Rui Zhao get so carried away... Eh?!"

The former Empress Mulan really couldn’t understand the decision of her country’s famous Zhaojun, and she immediately turned to her world-class husband for help.

But he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Rui Zhao's next move on the board had already been made!
The black chess piece did not actually bring back the fight for the upper left piece, but instead made a move directly in the second row below!
This made Liu Yuhong even more confused!
I've already started looking for ways to win this fight, so why don't you mention it anymore? !
But before Liu Yuhong could have any clue, the chess pieces on the board appeared one after another.

Rui Zhao was inexplicably decisive here, using command-type moves one after another in the lower left corner.

Since it was an order, Liu Shixian didn't have much to think about. He responded to all of them one by one, seemingly unwilling to waste any more time.

In just 20 seconds, the two sides made seven or eight moves. The black piece captured two white pieces at the bottom and initially stabilized, while the white piece took the corner and the first move.

However, seeing this, Liu Shixian still had no intention of rushing to take back the capture. He seized the key point of the turn on the left to threaten the two black pieces, as if he wanted to continue the fight for the capture and continue to expand his advantage in the area where he is more proficient.

This made the little bird extremely anxious!
I just found a bad nemesis, and my winning rate has dropped to who knows where. If I continue to fight for the nemesis, won’t my own Sister Long be… um, wait? !
Why hasn’t Black’s winning rate dropped much? !
After a series of moves were completed and the AI ​​finally calculated the latest winning rate, Liu Yuhong was a little confused when he saw the 28.9% winning rate.

Although it is a little lower than the 31.2% before the loss...

But it really only dropped a little bit!

No!

Finding a way to hurt Zed but not mentioning him, will it only reduce the win rate by a tiny bit? !
Liu Yuhong was confused again.

But before she could once again order her monkey to share its views and answer her questions, the fast chess Athena made another move!
In the 69th move, the black chess piece rushes down to the lower left!

He regarded the fight for the upper left piece as nothing, and had no intention of caring about the life and death of the two pieces in the middle of the belly!
Liu Shixian in the video seemed to be stunned for a moment by this move, but he quickly made his own choice - capturing the four lanes! This was also the AI's choice!
Of course, this is not difficult to understand.

There is a chess proverb that goes: "The middle belly of the tortoise shell has fifty meshes."

In the eyes of most normal professional chess players, it is absolutely unacceptable for the opponent to capture a tortoise shell (that is, capturing two connected pieces, named because the shape after the pieces are captured is like a tortoise shell) at a high position in the fourth or fifth row.

Although the four outer white pieces will quickly become thinner if the lower left is divided by white pieces, it is nothing compared to the tortoise shell. Liu Shixian's move to capture the piece can be said to be an absolute advantage, and it is always right to take advantage of it first.

It’s a pity that Zhaojun, who has always been notorious for her evil deeds, may not belong to the category of “normal professional chess players” at all!

In the next move, Rui Zhao completely ignored the huge risk of the center being raised to the tortoise shell and continued to rush in, demanding to split the white pieces!
Seeing this, Liu Yuhong, whose eyes were already wide open, almost fell to his knees!
Is this little girl so reckless? !
Would rather be reduced to a tortoise shell than to split the opponent?! This is really outrageous!
This time the winning rate will definitely fall... uh...

……Depend on!

Doesn't this fall off? ! !
Seeing that the black chess winning rate remained unchanged, Liu Yuhong was completely speechless except for swearing in his heart, as if his entire view of Go had been baptized once again after the emergence of AI!

At this time, Sun Yi, who had been working hard to change his appearance, finally came to life and simply said to his completely confused newlywed wife:
“This corner…

“It seems to have a smell!”

However, in contrast to Sun Yi who had just recovered, Liu Shixian, who was on the live broadcast screen, suddenly fell into deep thought when he saw his opponent's resolute move...
