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

Chapter 206 Another Explosion [Bonus Chapter for the Alliance Leader]

Compared to Jiang Mobai, Li Junhe's current state of mind is truly explosive.

In two consecutive games, I was completely overwhelmed by my opponent, seemingly without any chance to fight back.

Lee Jun-hyuk felt that he had never faced this situation since becoming a professional player.

Even when facing veteran players after becoming a professional player, Li Junhe still believed he had a fighting chance and even delivered many powerful blows to veteran players.

Even before Li Junhe reached his peak, he believed that many of the world's top players were just so-so, that their games were simply not good, and that all he lacked was time.

Especially after Li Junhe fully matured, in his view, most chess players were just people who sold their cards and left no stone unturned. How could these people participate in world competitions and play chess?
There are only a handful of people who are truly good at chess; the others who occasionally win are just getting a free win.

Lee Jun-hyuk didn't even think that what he said was sarcasm, but just the truth he genuinely expressed. If you can't accept it, it's because you're too sensitive.

Even as Li Junhe grew older and his strength began to decline, he only believed that he had lost to time rather than to other people.

If I can stay young forever, no one in this world can ever defeat me!

But today, all that pride has been shattered.

The gap in strength was like a chasm; he felt as if he were sitting at the bottom of a mountain, looking down at the gods standing on the mountaintop. But the mountain was shrouded in mist, and he could only see a corner of the heavenly palace.

Can people really reach this level through learning?
Li Junhe felt that this was beyond his comprehension.

"How could this happen... How could this happen..."

Lee Jun-hyuk couldn't understand why there was such a huge gap. Wasn't he the world's number one? Wasn't he the most talented person in the world?

This is something proven by countless facts, so why does it seem like everything is fake now?
92nd move, White, jump!

Block the crossing!

I don't believe it! I can't believe the gap between me and the other side is that big!
"It is indeed very difficult now. Black only needs to press out easily. There is no problem with the area on the top. The territory can be gained just the same."

To be honest, Jiang Mobai felt that if he were to look at this game from AlphaGo's perspective, the situation was too simple; he didn't even need to think about it and could just play however he wanted.

However, if you stand on Li Junhe's side, what you feel is absolute darkness and oppression.

Therefore, Jiang Mobai stated that he still stands on AlphaGo's side, after all, I'm Chinese.

"AlphaGo chose to place a ball at position 3-3? What kind of move is that?"

Unlike the previous game where AlphaGo's moves were seemingly simple yet powerful, each move in the previous game was quite straightforward and unpretentious. You could easily make the same move, but the combination of moves resulted in a powerful combo that left the opponent completely bewildered.

In this game, AlphaGo displayed a series of brilliant moves, employing various ingenious methods and calculations that made you realize the vast difference between you and it.

AlphaGo seems to be proving this from various angles.

You guys are no good.

"Did you choose the tiger?"

Seeing that Li Junhe had chosen Tiger after he switched to AlphaGo, Jiang Mobai silently began to calculate.

AlphaGo definitely won't make a move, otherwise it would be a waste of time and resources to finish the game. AlphaGo wouldn't be that stupid.

"Isn't this just asking to be beaten to death? And what good will it do after that? It'll just stick to you, won't it?"

Jiang Mobai's intuition told him that there should be a trap in this area, but he couldn't figure out where it was in a short time.

Without hesitation, Li Junhe attacked immediately, because his time limit had expired, with only one final countdown remaining. Calculation? There was no time to calculate!
"Took the bait."

Old Ke nodded as he watched Li Junhe take the bait. The current situation seemed hopeless, but if he really went for it, he didn't know how long it would last.

Humans cannot simply give up when they are at a disadvantage. After all, many people have made miraculous comebacks from behind. Only when the situation becomes so dire that it is unbearable to watch, or when there is no longer any chance of a comeback, will they choose to admit defeat.

But Old Ke glanced at the time; it was already past 11 p.m. How could he possibly disturb Yi Zheng's sleep, who was still developing? Not to mention there was a special program at midnight! He couldn't let these later, less important times go to waste.

So Mr. Ke deliberately dug a trap for Li Junhe, waiting for him to fall into it.

If you jump, the game can probably end early, and even if the opponent plays the correct order, you won't lose out.

You might not make a profit but suffer a huge loss, but I definitely won't lose money.

This is one of the tactics that Coach Ke excels at: creating all sorts of traps to lure the opponent into making a fool of themselves.

And now, Li Junhe has fallen for it.

Faced with Li Junhe's attack, Old Ke not only didn't stick to it, but instead directly thrust upwards from the right side, and after Li Junhe stuck to it, he quickly dug it out.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai really felt that the air conditioning in the live broadcast room was a bit too strong, and he was now gasping for breath.

Another ingeniously designed trap!

AlphaGo's combination of moves is simply too beautiful. Li Junhe has no way to attack from below, otherwise he would be completely overwhelmed by AlphaGo, and there is a risk that he will break apart from the outside.

Therefore, Li Junhe had no other choice but to attack from above.

However, once the game was over and the stick was attached, the tiger-like effect that AlphaGo had shown before immediately became apparent.

The current AlphaGo can directly cut through the air. After Li Junhe finishes his attack, if he lifts it up again, he will find that AlphaGo has just enough air after sticking to it.

"Li Junhe is probably going to throw the ball soon."

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai shook his head and made the decision for Li Junhe directly.

The opponent's trap was not detected, and the game ended completely.

Seeing Jiang Mobai being sentenced to death, An Jing, the third-level expert beside him, couldn't help but ask, "I think it's quite dangerous for him to stand up for himself here and then face the consequences."

"Heh... AlphaGo only needs to mention ko, and you, White, don't have any ko threats right now."

The power of Black's solid position on the board was immediately unleashed. You might think that rushing in from below wouldn't be a problem, but AlphaGo didn't need to pay any attention. After eliminating the ko above, if you rushed in again, AlphaGo could easily block it, and it would have no effect whatsoever.

The market is currently trading at around 20 points or more...

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but shake his head: "There's no way, we just can't get past it."

Whether it's the battle at the four corners or anywhere else, Li Junhe didn't actually make any major mistakes, but he just kept losing a little here and a little there, and that's how he ended up failing.

Every time, small mistakes snowball into big ones, eventually leading to complete ruin.

Honestly, after these two games, I don't know if Lee Jun-hyuk will still be in the mood to continue playing tomorrow. Anyway, I don't feel like I'll continue commentating tomorrow.

Let's put it this way: based on these two games today, there are no surprises, we still won't win tomorrow.

I don't know if Lee Jun-hyuk has the courage, but perhaps it really is something we should consider, including myself..."
