Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 192 was completely destroyed.

"Chance!"

As Yun Linglei watched Yi Zheng rushing upwards, his intuition, honed over years of experience in the professional world, told him that the last chance had come.

Just as Yi Zheng could rush upwards, he could also rush downwards.

Everyone's hedging against each other; it's a matter of who can outmaneuver whom.

Enough talk, let's go!
182nd move, White, charge!

"Yi Zheng acted impulsively. If this part gets messed up, the game is over."

On the other side, Jin Wan, a 9-dan professional dan player, couldn't help but say as he watched Yun Linglei rush down the field: "Actually, if we had just held back, the game would have been very close in the endgame. It's just that Yun Linglei definitely has more experience in endgame finishing."

Yi Zheng was definitely worried that if this happened, Yun Linglei would have a chance to turn the tables, but doing so now would be too risky.

Black currently has no living stones on either side. In a fast game, if Black gets pushed down and creates a problem, it will be troublesome, unless…”

Hearing this, the quiet third-tier player next to him asked curiously, "Unless what?"

Meanwhile, Ma Zhaoxu, who was broadcasting live on the other end, had already said what he meant: "Unless he has already calculated the result."

Jin Wan, a 9-dan player, suddenly narrowed his eyes and revealed a strange expression: "Unless he has already calculated the outcome of this part, or rather, he has been planning it for a long time."

"That's a bit unlikely."

When Anjing, a third-dan player, heard this, he laughed twice. Although he knew that high-ranking players had strong calculation abilities, he wondered how someone could finish calculating something so complex and without much time to think.
Premeditated? How could such a situation be premeditated?
Of course, Yi Zheng couldn't possibly finish calculating it all, and even artificial intelligence couldn't finish it in a short time, but Yi Zheng had already calculated a rough outline, which was enough for him.

Because he knew that the things he had saved before would now come in very useful!
Move 183, Black plays, Ban!

Seeing Yi Zheng turn around directly, Yun Linglei quickly realized something and instantly felt something hit the back of his head, and everything went black.

Because he realized that his previous actions had backfired and ruined his current situation.

My past self has ruined my present self! And twice at that!

Yun Linglei desperately wanted to respond directly from below, but if he did, Yi Zheng would immediately and sternly turn the tables on him from above! Yun Linglei couldn't even muster an effective resistance.

Because Yi Zheng has so many advantages in this area!

Not only is the sticking move the first move, but after the top is cut off, the abandoned piece on the right side that previously captured Yi Zheng also has the problem of losing energy. Yun Ling Lei's energy is not enough. Yi Zheng's part seems to be close yet distant, but there is no problem in the connection.

However, if they choose to capture the four black stones at the bottom, that won't work either. All the hidden dangers left over from the opening stage will now erupt! Yi Zheng will directly and decisively capture the left side, and the white stones will be counter-killed, with all the black stones escaping.

The effect of Yun Linglei's decision not to completely capture Yi Zheng's group of stones in the lower left corner is now fully manifesting, which is why it was important to preserve it.

Even after death, the spirit remains; it returns to life in the underworld.

If Yun Linglei wants to protect the left side, he can only go back to collect liberties. However, if he does that, Yi Zheng can easily capture all the white stones in the middle with a simple jump, because he has a strong position on the right side.

Yun Linglei used to think that by taking the initiative step by step and seizing the corner, he could strengthen the outer perimeter of Yi Zheng in the lower right corner. But now, this strengthened outer perimeter has become the death knell for him.

Paying the price of those four little black dots is enough to keep the central government in check; what a profitable deal!
Two decisions that seemed perfectly reasonable before have now become huge mistakes, even becoming the last two straws that broke Yun Linglei's back!

With both sides exerting force together, Yun Linglei now felt like the Jiajing Emperor, with the palace maids on both sides directly choking him!

They promised to train until they could sculpt a crane-like figure, so they wouldn't be afraid of palace maids strangling them!
Damn it, how could I have made such a terrible choice just minutes and an hour ago! Why couldn't you have handled it more cleanly back then!
In a state of extreme anger, a person might even denounce their past self!
All these changes and inner turmoil flashed through Yun Linglei's mind within twenty seconds, but only for a fleeting moment. Because he didn't have time to think too much, with only thirty seconds left for each step, Yun Linglei had no choice but to retreat.

Tolerate!
We have no choice but to put up with it!

Yun Linglei's move was exactly what Yi Zheng had expected. Without any further hesitation, Yi Zheng cut off the attack directly on the left!
First move! First move again!
Yun Linglei felt a chill run down his spine. He had always thought that sometimes the things he kept would just disappear as he walked along. How come now everything he kept had become a landmine, ready to blow him up!

In this exchange, Yun Linglei's chess formation was almost completely destroyed, his points in the center were almost completely depleted, and he still had problems with losing liberties on the left side.

The one-track mind has become a three-pronged blockage!
Yun Linglei couldn't help but swear. Yi Zheng even felt like he heard some electronic music, and it seemed to be accompanied by some strange sewing machine sounds. It was mainly because of Ke Lao's previous complaints.

Yi Zheng also found it quite strange. Why would Ke Lao combine electronic music with a sewing machine? This is even stranger than combining a chicken with a basketball. Chicken, you're too beautiful?

Unlike Yi Zheng, who has now completely relaxed, Yun Linglei is still in great pain in the later stages of the process, with Yi Zheng almost always taking the initiative and issuing commands.

Yun Linglei felt like his head was about to explode. Yi Zheng had the initiative everywhere in this area. He had only failed to completely capture this small group of stones on the left side, so why was the side effect so severe? He felt like he could barely even finish capturing them.

As a result, because he didn't finish his pieces, Yi Zheng has turned all his pieces into a mess. If it were a Japanese Go player who values ​​aesthetics, he probably would have just thrown his pieces and run away on the spot, thinking that his opponent was humiliating him. Although anyone would probably want to concede now.

"The area on the left is dead but not stiff. It seems that Yi Zheng had already made preparations beforehand. Everything was within his calculations."

Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but nod. Yi Zheng's actions sometimes seemed irrational, but in reality, many of them were long-planned conspiracies.

Although no one can know what the future will be like at the beginning, what is preserved can still be used in the future.

Yi Zheng can be said to have developed the potential of all the pieces to the fullest extent within the limits allowed by the chessboard, even if the piece is already "dead".

"The current market has been consolidating for more than ten seconds, around thirteen or fourteen seconds, so there's no way to lose money now."

Both teachers reached the same conclusion, sentencing Yun Linglei to death.

If there was still a chance when the game was close to the endgame, now, for high-level players, this kind of situation is one they might never see again in their entire lives.

If this could actually be exported, slapping myself twice on the spot would definitely be worth it.

Shi Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief outside, because he understood everything and now he was ready to do it too.

Yun Linglei stubbornly continued to make a few more moves, but even if he could gain a slight advantage, the situation was still far from favorable.

It's over, it's all over.

Yun Linglei did not insist on finishing the game. When he saw that the overall situation was largely settled and there was no room for further struggle, he simply chose to concede defeat.

“Very good, especially the following methods. You didn’t just do it on a whim; you planned it all along.”

"I'm speechless with defeat. Looks like I'll be waiting for you in that title position next year."

After resigning, Yun Linglei couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He had thought he could hold on until the endgame to turn the tide, but in the end, he was completely overwhelmed.

Has the new era truly arrived?
Are we old guys going to be swept into the trash heap?

Is there no longer a chessboard for us remnants of the old era to play in the new world?
So many thoughts are swirling in my mind!
