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

Chapter 256 Far ahead
Move 43, Black, point!

Lan Bai, an eighth-dan player, looked at the move he had made in the lower left corner and couldn't help but shake his head in admiration.

That move was both beautiful and decisive; I'm in pretty good form today! I actually made such a brilliant move so early in the game.

awesome!

I'm so amazing!

Lan Bai couldn't help but start calculating. Now that he had clicked in, even if he didn't survive, he would still leave behind a lot of resources, which would be helpful in future battles and raids.

It's highly unlikely that Yi Zheng will let himself go, since he would suffer a significant loss if this part of his business were taken away.

On the other side, Yi Zheng glanced at this spot and his first reaction was that it was indeed quite severe, because even if the black side couldn't achieve a clean life so easily, it would probably leave behind various tricks.

But after taking a second look, Yi Zheng shook his head.

Shaking my head doesn't mean I'm not good enough, it just means you still need to practice, bro!

Yi Zheng silently made a judgment in his mind: "A fake miracle worker."

It looks like a masterful touch, but it's not actually one.

Blue and White Eight Dan's perspective is too narrow; he focuses on local changes while ignoring the overall picture.

Simply put, the vision is too narrow!

After making a clear judgment, Yi Zheng acted without hesitation, releasing the Blue and White attackers who had broken in.

It looks like the blue and white magician has removed quite a bit from the bottom left corner, and still managed to easily create a piece.

However, Yi Zheng gained the initiative in this variation, and the white stones below became much thicker, putting pressure on the black stones in the center and supporting the white stones in the center.

Move 74, White, cuts.

Cutting off this piece gives White an advantage in the ladder, and it's also a way for White to test Blue and White 8-dan's next moves.

Because in this area, there is also a fake local trick.

"Damn! This blue and white team is really something. After two quick moves, they stuck together and then jumped to trap. They actually managed to kill three white stones in one spot."

Miao Jun looked at the situation on the chessboard and couldn't help but shake his head. These two moves were truly brilliant, instantly capturing Yi Zheng. It seems that his reputation is well-deserved.

This technique is quite beautiful; I didn't even expect it at first glance.

However, Yun Linglei, looking at the three white stones that had been captured, felt that something was off.

Yun Linglei sensed something was amiss: "Could it be that Yi Zheng was simply devoured by him?"

Miao Jun wasn't surprised at all. Even if Yi Zheng was strong, he couldn't possibly prevent others from eating their own eggs.

Miao Jun still favors Yi Zheng to win, but that doesn't mean the opponent has no chance of fighting back.

If every step is flawless, then it's not Yizheng, it's AlphaGo.

"What else can we do? Now, if A-Zheng comes out from below, he will be rolled around once. Zhengzi is just one step away, so he will be completely eaten by the rolling Zhengzi in one go."

Yun Linglei shook his head upon hearing Miao Jun's explanation: "I recently read through all of Yi Zheng's chess records. He is too good at preserving and utilizing his skills. He is strong and versatile."

You'll find that a saying applies to everything you eat: every gift from fate comes with a hidden price.

Yun Linglei looked at the chessboard and pondered carefully. After a moment, he finally spoke: "I understand. Blue and White have taken the bait. We're doomed."

"what happened?"

"This area on the right is deliberately given to him to eat. It may seem like it can kill White with a ko, but the ko-leading move below is the trap."

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Yun Linglei couldn't help but shake his head. Lan Bai was probably still basking in his own clever move, unaware that the brilliant move he had just made was actually a trap set by his opponent.

That's terrifying! They even foresaw this? Yi Zheng!

Yi Zheng himself didn't expect that he had just dug a pit, and the other side would actually jump in.

Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to use it. And you still say young people shouldn't be so arrogant? Even if you weren't arrogant, you still couldn't beat the younger generation!

When Yi Zheng was about to submit his proposal, Lan Bai blocked it without any hesitation.

"what happened?"

Yi Zheng frowned as he watched Lan Bai block the attack. He had thought that Lan Bai's style would disrupt the situation and backfire.

Then, by using the pieces below, they can create chaos and a melee between the two sides.

Because the situation here was quite chaotic, Yi Zheng stopped and thought for a lot of time in advance to consider the changes, but the opponent didn't make a move at all?

Didn't I just do all that calculations for nothing?! What a waste of time!

"You've only studied the Great Learning, the Analects, and Mencius from the Four Books; you haven't grasped the Doctrine of the Mean!"

Yi Zheng was speechless. The final battle he had prepared had been so easily dodged by the opponent, who had actually slashed himself to avoid it.

Lan Bai didn't feel much about this, because he had played in disadvantageous situations far too many times, so he didn't feel inferior at all in the current situation.

Blue and White didn't take the slightly worse situation to heart at all. This was nothing. They wouldn't play chess unless they were in a desperate situation.

Move 96, White, point!

Seeing this move, Lan Bai couldn't help but shake his head. He thought he had already separated the white stones on both sides, but he didn't expect Yi Zheng to have such a good move.

Lan Bai couldn't help but mutter to himself: If I block here, he can just strike directly, and instead I will be the one who gets cut off by the other party.

Now, doing so will make it impossible for me to take care of both sides. It may seem that I have separated Yi Zheng, but in reality, it is Yi Zheng who has separated me!
"Disgusting!"

Lan Bai recalled other people's evaluations of Yi Zheng and couldn't help but silently make a judgment in her heart.

Yi Zheng is always able to balance both ends, making one move serve the purpose of two, which makes it very difficult for opponents.

But if Yi Zheng heard this, he would definitely complain: "Don't you know who has a worse reputation between us? Don't you know your other nicknames, Muddy Flow?"

After frowning, Lan Bai made a move, trying to find a way out for his own pieces.

However, Yi Zheng took action immediately. Now, Yi Zheng's attack and the capture of three black stones below have completely strengthened both groups.

In terms of overall field performance, Yi Zheng is now far ahead, and there is practically no way to attack him.

If Mr. Ke were here, he would definitely start nagging.

Far ahead!

Far ahead of its peers!
Looking at the overall situation, Lan Bai touched his dwindling hair and felt a headache coming on. Now, it was his own black pieces in the center that needed to be dealt with.

"It's alright, it's precisely in dire situations that I unleash my full potential! Only by being driven to the brink of defeat can I achieve victory!"

Lan Bai didn't seem too discouraged by the situation, after all, he was already used to playing from behind.

Some even commented that he wouldn't play chess unless he was in dire straits.

Move 107, Black invades!

With this move, Blue and White unleashed their decisive move.

But for Yi Zheng, the move by Blue and White was already too late.

Yi Zheng is a veteran at turning adversity around, so how could he possibly capsize in his area of ​​expertise?

Damn!
Lan Bai wanted to fight Yi Zheng to the death here, but Yi Zheng simply refused to play along.

So what if I let you live? You have absolutely no idea what it means to be far ahead.
