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

Chapter 253 Brave

Sixteenth move, White, makes a small eye approach.

"What makes Ah Zheng so great is that he always manages to get the first move and is more efficient than others."

He thought I could back down, which would make his next move even more powerful, but the more he tried to do that, the less I could do as he wanted.

Miao Jun silently began to plan in his mind. If it were someone else, he would definitely use his best skills to grind them down, but he couldn't do that with Yi Zheng now.

Miao Jun felt that he was probably the person in the entire Go world who understood Yi Zheng the most, without exception.

After all, Yi Zheng had just settled into a certain stage, and Miao Jun, his best friend since childhood, immediately went to live with him. They lived together every day, were completely honest with each other, and everyone knew each other's backgrounds, so there was no need to say anything else.

Miao Jun said that he uses Yizheng shower gel and tissues, which is the highest level of friendship between boys!
To put it bluntly, Miao Jun felt that if this world were a TV series or novel, and Yi Zheng was the male lead, his role would definitely be more prominent than the female lead's!
After all, Wenxiao didn't have the guts to say anything about living with Azheng.

But I, Miao Jun, dare to do it! I'll do the things the female lead wouldn't dare to do! I'll go to the bathhouse the female lead wouldn't dare to go to! That's the second male lead for you!

So Miao Jun directly raised his head from below, preventing Yi Zheng from turning his head over from below.

Yi Zheng didn't hesitate at all and jumped from the second line. This was a move with a large score. Moreover, if Miao Jun still dared to ignore the move, Yi Zheng's move from below would not only affect the score, but more importantly, it would affect the eye position of Miao Jun's group of black stones.

Therefore, Miao Jun had to respond, allowing Yi Zheng to gain the initiative.

Move 23, Black plays, block!

"Fatty is also improving his efficiency now."

Yi Zheng silently made a judgment in his mind as he looked at the moves Miao Jun made.

This era may be one of the best for human Go players, because although Go has always been developing, it has always been based on the work of predecessors, and sometimes it is inevitably limited by fixed thinking.

However, the sudden emergence of an online chess master has broken many conventional ways of thinking and allowed many people to break free from the constraints imposed by their predecessors.

Everyone unleashed their diverse thoughts, making moves they never dared to imagine before, constantly seeking change and innovation.

It makes many people truly feel that Go is a form of freedom.

"But I don't know how long this era of freedom will last."

While others rejoiced, feeling that the best of times had arrived, only Yi Zheng knew that perhaps the darkest darkness of the future was also the brightest light about to come.

His arrival will shatter everyone's worldview, allowing humanity to witness an unprecedented level of Go, while also stifling everyone's creativity.

The pinnacle of true human wisdom defeated the pinnacle of human wisdom.

What defeats you will never be your competitors, but your destroyers. What does that have to do with me?

Yi Zheng knew a glimpse of the future, which motivated him to push himself even harder, hoping to improve his abilities so that he would have no regrets when the crucial moment arrived.

Instead of being powerless to do anything when things reach a critical moment and you're just one step away.

Because I know too much, I sometimes have to work hard, for fear that I will regret it when the day comes.

That's why people often say that ignorance is bliss.

It's fine to know something if you have the ability, but it's even more painful to know something without the ability and be powerless to do anything about it.

Move 57, Black, Big Knight!
From a human perspective, Miao Jun's move appears to be a balanced attack and defense, taking into account both the upper and lower areas. He pressures the three white stones at the bottom to fill the weakness there, while simultaneously moving towards the center, aiming to either enter the upper area or move the controlled black stones in the upper left. However, in reality, this move actually exposed Miao Jun's weakness, and what follows is a transfer of power between the players.

“You always say I walk too fast, but I know I walk too slowly.”

Facing Kosei, even with all my might, I couldn't win, let alone with a split-push strategy. How could I possibly defeat the real AlphaGo, who is far stronger than Kosei?

Old Ke always says we're invincible, but how will we know if we don't try?

Although Yi Zheng heard what Ke Lao said about how humans could not defeat artificial intelligence, and that even if he were no longer human, he would not be confident, so he was told to try to defeat the first generation of AI, as the second generation was already impossible.

However, Yi Zheng would always retort that nothing in this world is impossible.

Deep down, Mr. Ke knew that even when there was no hope, people would still run towards that place. Wasn't he the same back then?

He didn't become a hero by defeating the Demon King; he was already a hero the moment he embarked on that path.

Looking at Yi Zheng striving for a higher level on the field, Old Ke couldn't help but sigh, recalling Yi Zheng's daily uninterrupted training: "Who can stop a young warrior from going to his death? They can't hear us."

But Miao Jun said, "I can hear you, you bastard!"
Miao Jun felt that Yi Zheng was messing with him like the Japanese were messing with him in this game. He played too well!
Previously, it was always the same: Yi Zheng had a good start - Yi Zheng got into a tough battle - Yi Zheng was on the verge of despair - Yi Zheng struggled desperately - Yi Zheng gave a victory speech.

How did it turn into this: Yi Zheng had a great start → Yi Zheng made a series of terrible moves → Yi Zheng easily defeated his opponent → Yi Zheng disconnected and went AFK → Yi Zheng skillfully slew the dragon → Yi Zheng's victory was already secured.

This, isn't this right?

Who on earth is trying to frame me, Fatty!

It's only been a year, yet Yi Zheng seems to have made a huge leap forward again.

Dude, even if you trained every day during the Chinese New Year holiday, you shouldn't have been able to leave us behind so easily! That doesn't make sense.

On the 228th move, when Yi Zheng stuck to the target, Miao Jun stopped resisting and resigned.

"This game is hopeless!"

Miao Jun muttered helplessly, "He was directly defeated by Yi Zheng. What else is there to say?"

Many people are also paying close attention to today's match between Yi Zheng and Miao Jun, after all, it is a rare clash between two strong players in the round of 64, and both of them are rising stars with only hope of winning the title in the future.

Everyone initially thought it would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, Yi Zheng relentlessly pursued Miao Jun from the very beginning and ultimately defeated him.

Everyone watching wanted to put the brakes on Yi Zheng, since he was speeding way too fast.

Looking at Yi Zheng's game record, Yun Linglei couldn't help but rub his temples: "It's okay, I've already focused my energy on Go, and a few more months will be enough."

Just as Yun Linglei had predicted, Yi Zheng made it directly into the finals of the Challenger Decision Tournament.

Meanwhile, another Blue-White 8-dan player who made it to the finals couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he looked at the young man who had also made it to the finals.

I like young people.
