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

Chapter 212 An Unexpected End

"AlphaGo played at such a high level! Every time we tried to force him to defend, he always managed to find a good rhythm. He used an offensive stance to not only support himself but also to counterattack us."

Just like before, Li Junhe's move in the upper left corner was intended to make AlphaGo's group of pieces inactive, and then gain an advantage through an attack. However, AlphaGo used the above-mentioned segmentation to fight against you, indirectly supporting itself. This was incredibly efficient.

He always manages to make the difference of two pieces with just one, it's like you've made one move and he's made two, so you can't compete with him in that respect.

Jiang Mobai felt immense pressure. He had just boasted that he would be the second to go on stage, but now that he was going to be the second to go on stage, the pressure was really overwhelming.

They had indeed considered the possibility of losing to AlphaGo when they were given a handicap, and everyone agreed that the probability was relatively small, and that they should at least have a 60-70% chance of winning.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Junhe suffered a crushing defeat as the first player to take the stage.

Of course, if it were anyone else in this situation, Li Junhe would not be in a good position, but the outcome would still be uncertain. However, because the opponent is AlphaGo, Jiang Mobai feels that it is almost over.

I have to shout it out in the group chat: No one can run away tonight! Don't let the last few guys desert me! If you have diarrhea, you have to finish this game while sitting on the toilet!

Even if it's shameful, we'll all lose face together! If we're all shameless, then we'll all be shameless together!
"How is Teacher Jiang feeling right now?"

Anjing, a third-dan player, couldn't help but ask Jiang Mobai, a ninth-dan player, who had been lively and energetic at the beginning of the game but had now fallen silent in the middle game.

Before the game, no one expected that Li Junhe would not have any advantage at the beginning, and even started to gradually move into a disadvantageous position.

I saw you were quite excited just now, why are you silent now?

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "I was hoping that Li Junhe could get off to a good start, or at least that we could see a 'evenly matched' game, but I didn't expect that it would be played much better than the score."

We can only say that we underestimated AlphaGo's strength, but it's also true that Li Junhe was under too much pressure and didn't play well.

So now I'm trying my best to adjust my mindset and at least perform to my full potential.

If you were to say how bad the situation is right now, it's actually still manageable, but the problem is that it's only been seventy moves! And we're still giving the first move!

If we were to divide things up, the current situation would already be described as utterly chaotic!
"It seems that although Li Junhe made some mistakes, they were not major problems at the time."

The situation is not good now; those at the top are barely holding on to this tough spot, which is very difficult.

AlphaGo has further strengthened its position, still threatening the black group above. You see, the black group above may not even have two eye positions now.

Lee Jun-hyuk's initial plan was for AlphaGo to retreat a step, making the two black stones above lighter and preventing the white stone below from returning. After Lee Jun-hyuk played the move, he could directly deal with the black stones below.

However, the problem is that, normally speaking, it might be considered a blind spot, yet White managed to stop?! Now, if you dare to capture it, you'll find that the previous second-line mistake has turned into a block here, perfectly helping this group of White stones escape danger.

All I can say is that AlphaGo's move was incredibly precise; this move has played an unparalleled role so far.

We thought he was pretty good when we saw him make that move, but we didn't expect it to be this good!
This move, which involved leaving two spaces open, was arguably the only truly brilliant move in the entire situation, and he played it immediately.

Jiang Mobai also shook his head and sighed. It seemed that AlphaGo had considered all the possibilities.

This feeling is like Wei Yan risking his life to march out of the Ziwu Valley, braving wind, snow and bitter cold, only to find that his opponent already had a troop of elite soldiers waiting for him above him, ready to strike him dead in one blow.

It's as if all your plans are under the other party's control. You don't know if the other party is a master strategist who has calculated everything, or if everything you do is being guided by the other party.

But no matter what the outcome or possibility, you'll explode on the spot.

Lee Jun-hyuk is now in a real headache. AlphaGo's previous move is still having an effect, it's been having an effect all along, it's like a divine move!
It was torture. Li Junhe originally thought that playing AlphaGo was torture enough, but he didn't expect that playing with a handicap would be torture too!
Or is playing chess against AlphaGo a form of torture?

Rather than calling him a god of Go, is he more like a devil of Go?

Li Junhe felt completely helpless. Sticking it on was out of the question, otherwise it would be like selling the flavor itself.

Now we can only keep this flavor and try something else. "At this point, we can only say that the ko fight in the top left corner is the last hidden danger that Li Junhe left for AlphaGo, but the problem is that it doesn't seem to be of much use."

Because Li Junhe can't find any ko threats right now, and Li Junhe himself is quite weak, if AlphaGo wants to find a problem with him, there are ko threats everywhere.

So even if AlphaGo makes a mistake in this area, it won't make up for it, because it believes that you simply wouldn't dare to compete with it.

Moreover, Li Junhe's current number of eyes is not enough, and it is indeed quite difficult now.

In this round, Li Junhe will most likely lose as well.

Even Jiang Mobai wouldn't dare to say anything to him now, because if he did, it would basically be equivalent to the Jade-Faced Grenade King.

At most, it will only make us look foolish to the enemy, and it won't pose any real threat whatsoever.

"I had thought the gap would be big, but I didn't expect it to be this big."

On the other side, Kuroki Teruto was watching the live stream on his computer when he sent a message in the group chat on his phone.

Jiang Mobai's expression wasn't good in the live stream room, but the other people preparing for the match outside the live stream room also didn't look too good.

[Victor]: Li Junhe made a mistake. If I had been in his position, I wouldn't have made such a bad move. He even dared to go out of position in the bottom right corner, and now it's turned into a calamity.

[Alexander]: Stop making sarcastic remarks. Lee Jun-hyuk is clearly just putting on a brave face. If he doesn't come up with something, this game will be over.

[Jiang Mobai]: It's over. If White just plays normally and gets a little thicker, I can't think of any way to turn the game around.

[Kuroki Teruto]: The main thing is that I feel Lee Junhyuk hasn't let go yet, and there's still some problem with his mentality.

[Jiang Mobai]: Stop saying these useless things. After watching the second episode, I feel like I have a mental problem!
After sending the message, Jiang Mobai looked at the chessboard in the live stream and couldn't help but shake his head: "Li Junhe finally started the ko fight. The ko fight on the top is still very burdensome."

Because White can lose, but Black absolutely cannot lose. If Black loses, the entire group of Black stones on top will die! There will be no eye space left.

"Are you just going to keep it and not eat it?"

Lee Jun-hyuk frowned as he looked at the four black stones that the white stones had been holding in its mouth; this group was quite large.

Perhaps AlphaGo felt it had a significant advantage, so it kept the attack in its mouth, maintaining a state of attack but never actually eating.

Instead, they chose to eat two seeds on top, and of course, the seeds on top were also quite large.

Seeing that AlphaGo chose to eat the top, Li Junhe didn't think much of it and stuck the bottom to the top as well.

"It's over! They've taken the bait!"

Old Ke looked at Li Junhe, who was indeed stuck to the ground, and waved his hand: "The 186th move, sharp!"

The end often comes so suddenly. I ate the top part not because it was big, but because it was thick!
The one I left below that I didn't eat is bait to lure you in!

When Li Junhe saw AlphaGo pointing at him, he immediately realized something was wrong!

Because we should have traded some pieces on this side first, so that at least we could have ensured the survival of the dragon on top.

However, because of the temptation below, Li Junhe ignored the fact that the white stones above had become thicker. Now, the black stones above only have one eye left!
Li Junhe tried to hold on and see if he could get a ward, but Ke Lao simply grabbed him, and the game was over.

"Explode on the spot!"

Li Junhe felt like he had exploded. He originally wanted to continue, but now that Da Long had suddenly died on the spot, there was nowhere left for him to go.
