LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 305 The last championship, the National Games comes to an end!
Wu Yiming looked at the chessboard, picked up the chess piece, and quickly placed it on the board.

Sixteenth column, 4th row, small star.

Lin Ruo took a quick look, then took out a chess piece from the chess box and placed it on the other side of the same position.

After four pieces were placed, each side took one side, and the game still started with Xing Xiaomu against Xing Xiaomu.

Wu Yiming later deployed a Chinese style of play, first moving to the star position, second to the small eye in the adjacent corner, and third to the sixteenth column and ten rows to form a formation.

Lin Ruo went straight to the middle of the bottom to occupy the edge, limiting the future expansion of the two wings of the black chess.

Black starts the attack by making a big flying move in the lower left corner.

Lin Ruoxia used a small pointed hand to guard the corner.

Black splits two pieces and places pieces in the positions between the two lines to establish a base and expand the situation.

After a small-scale test, the situation on both sides remained relatively stable.

Lin Ruo thought about it and thought, since the bottom side restricted the opening of the black chess piece in the lower right corner, it would be better for the top side to follow suit, so Xiao Fei put the black chess piece on the right.

Black jumps slightly to defend.

White chess pieces continue to fly into the near corner to form a fierce double-gun offensive.

Wu Yiming stared at the chessboard and fell into deep thought, recalling that every time Liu Yuncheng faced Lin Ruo's attack, he liked to grit his teeth and fight back and never give in. She couldn't make such a mistake and let the situation turn into a stalemate, so that her situation would be dragged back and forth.

The black chess piece breaks away from the first two pieces and moves to the left.

The chessboard was so big, she now had a lot of room to move around.

Lin Ruo smiled slightly.

If you don't move, I won't move either. I will still escape and go to the lower left corner, and continue to strengthen the compression of the black chess pieces at the initial attack point.

Both sides played very flexibly in the first sixteen moves. They did not stubbornly expand the battlefield on one side, but expanded the layout up, down, left and right.

However, after the battlefield was opened, the lower right corner was suddenly filled with the sound of fierce moves, and the white and black pieces began to test and fight each other.

After more than ten attacks from both sides, neither side gained any advantage.

"This kid is truly talented. Lin Ruo initially had the upper hand by splitting two pieces at the bottom, but she managed to prevent White from reaching the stage where his pieces could survive unconditionally. She's been a successful limiter."

The Jiangsu team leader sighed, "There will be absolutely no problem for her to become one of the top chess players like you."

Yu Zhiying wasn't quite as optimistic, her expression slightly more serious. "But Lin Ruo has also gained the right to rob the living corner, including the right to take the initiative from behind. Let's see what he's going to do next."

The next moment, the white chess piece landed back on the left, and Xiao Fei directly attacked the black chess piece that had been split into two.

Black is defending on the side.

Lin Ruo moves down two squares and directly covers it. Flying point plus a separate cover is the most commonly used method to oppress and split the two, and it is also the most effective method.

Wu Yiming escaped the first move again and moved to the upper left corner, targeting the weakest white piece in the overall situation.

I'm going to chase you here, right?

It seems like this, but in fact it is luring you into a trap, and Lin Ruo knows it very well.

The black piece has more than one point on the top, because there is also a point below, but his white piece only has one point.

Attacking from both sides means hitting the thickest part of the black chess pieces, which is undoubtedly a thankless task.

Take off first and go to the upper right, Lin Ruo makes a choice.

The black piece flies further into the corner.

Lin Ruo calmly turned around and occupied the three columns and three rows in the upper left corner, setting up a formation so that the black pieces could easily split into two, and then changed positions to add to the layout in the upper right corner.

Wu Yiming's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little confused.

"Why doesn't he make a move at the bottom, so that all three pieces can move? Wouldn't that be much better than being surrounded and killed by me?"

It’s a pity that I almost lost three chess pieces.

She couldn't figure it out.

Lin Ruo saw it clearly.
What is the use of the piece in the upper left corner being alive? The correct answer is that it is useless, as it still cannot pose a direct or indirect threat to the black pieces in that area.

Living like this is just living.

But the situation on the right side is different. After revealing the corner, it can play a vital role in restricting the formation of black pieces later. Not only that, it can continue to break through the air and gain momentum downwards.

Lin Ruo calmly drank a sip of water.

If Wu Yiming couldn't understand, that would be bad, because he might be in trouble.

Black continues to surround.

White continues to take the initiative, still targeting the right corner.

Wu Yiming had to come back to defend against the open space. She controlled the situation on the left, but the right side was obviously in chaos.

In particular, White has regained the initiative through this move and can switch positions and exert his strength as much as he wants.

Lin Ruo followed the same pattern and surrounded the lower left corner, predicting the black chess piece's move in advance.

Going against common sense and defending first? Wu Yiming was slightly stunned, but ignored him and continued to attack. With this move, the situation suddenly changed.

One chess piece is defensive, but when the second chess piece forms an offensive, the effect is not just a preventive one.

After 80 moves, Wu Yiming finally discovered this rather sharp problem.

It seems that she only has the initiative in the left corner, while her opponent seems to have the initiative in the other three positions to a certain extent.

The sudden pressure came crashing down on him. Wu Yiming kept deducing the situation in his mind, and his heart was filled with shock.

She wanted to break the deadlock.

Lin Ruo saw through the situation and blocked the game tightly, but the upper left corner was still open for anyone to eat.

He was not in a hurry to use the first move to establish an advantage. He wanted to first defeat the black chess's attempt to dig the mountain.

As long as you still have the upper hand, it is not difficult to connect the chess games.

"It's over. We are in danger of being plundered." The Jiangsu team leader couldn't help swallowing.

The situation is not good.

But on second thought, losing the game was actually reasonable.

The situation then entered the real attack and defense phase. Lin Ruo, who had other ideas in his mind, was wholeheartedly trying to defend, allowing the black pieces to continue to insert themselves in search of a way to break the game.

Even if one clearly has the opportunity to break through by encroaching.

After 150 moves, Wu Yiming also understood that rather than being in a duel, the subsequent development of the game was more like a game of guidance.

Lin Ruo was guiding her, giving her various opportunities to attack in different ways, and then using unexpected defense to let her see the flaws of this attack.

The attack continues, but its effect becomes increasingly insignificant.

After 200 moves, Wu Yiming raised his head with a look of resignation and said dejectedly, "I lost."

She chose to resign.

It was clear that she had used every possible means to attack, but when one is good at something, the devil is always one foot higher. She had already exhausted all her energy and was left far behind.

Before Lin Ruo responded, Wu Yiming immediately raised his curious eyes and asked, "Which hand?"

"Fourteen of thirteen." Lin Ruo pointed in the direction.

The little girl pondered for a moment and was slightly surprised: "So playing here can really overturn your chess game?"

Lin Ruo spread his hands and shook his head: "You think too much, it's impossible."

Wu Yiming's face darkened instantly: "Then what can you say to break the deadlock?"

"Of course I can break the game, but this only applies to other people playing this game. If it were me, I'm sorry, I would find a trick that no one else can find to counter you."

Wu Yiming examined it and his heart trembled.

Although this statement sounded pretentious, it was absolutely true when it came out of Lin Ruo's mouth.

She had no chance anyway, she just wanted to give herself more possibilities to try.

"The team competition extra round is over, and the Shanghai team's amateur 7th dan Lin Ruosheng won the championship."

The referee announced the final result expressionlessly, and the team competition officially came to an end. People outside the venue walked into the scene in groups, with different emotions.

"Yeah, we are champions again."

Zhang Xuan's face showed an expression of uncontrollable joy. He walked up excitedly and almost gave Lin Ru a sweet hug.

But before that, Tian Bin came up and said, "Well done! You brought this championship back to our Shanghai team with your own hands."

"Don't be discouraged, hone your chess skills well, and you will have a bigger stage to conquer in the future." The leader of the Jiangsu team was also comforting the defeated players.

The upcoming ten-day National Games was not all failure for them. There were many surprises and touching moments. All in all, their efforts were not in vain.

Having said that, when standing on the podium and looking at the Shanghai team led by Lin Ruo holding up the gold medal, even the Jiangsu team leader looked very discouraged for a moment.

A Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. Their luck was really bad. It was the Shanghai team who picked up a treasure that was so unexpected that it couldn't be more unexpected.

There was laughter and cheers in the podium, and the shutters of reporters in the audience were flashing constantly.

Wang Yi, director of the Go Department at the Chinese Chess Academy, took the stage to deliver the final closing remarks: "The first Go tournament since the return of the National Games has officially concluded successfully today. I thank every participant for their outstanding performance. Here's a message: those who haven't yet achieved professional rank should strive to get there, and those who have already entered the professional arena should continue to strive."

"You are all the hope of the future Go world. I wish every young person can carve out their own path to becoming a professional Go player."

"Come on, take pictures!"

The shutter was pressed, and a group photo of all the winning players in the team competition became the final farewell.

The National Games are over.

Lin Ruo, returning home with a full prize, couldn't help but do the math while holding the gold medal. The team competition also had to be divided equally, but the total cumulative prize money should be at least 30...

Small profit.
