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

Chapter 299 The finishing touch
Move 135, Black, move!

"They even dug a trap for me here."

Seeing Chu Tianjiao's move, Yi Zheng couldn't help but silently complain to himself.

Chu Tianjiao's move was clearly not a tribulation he was about to face. If Yi Zheng was stubborn, he could theoretically turn his back on it and go back to finish the tribulation in one go.

Yi Zheng was even certain that he could eat all of it, but the problem was that there would be a price to pay for eating it.

Chu Tianjiao could make two moves below and directly kill his two white pieces.

In this case, the thickness of the lower part will be completely different.

Whether it's the two white stones on the left or the small dragon in the middle, they will tremble in fear under the encirclement of black stones, and even let out desperate cries.

Therefore, robbery is not about winning, but about maximizing profits through robbery.

This applies to both Yi Zheng and Chu Tianjiao.

"You want to switch sides with me? Do you think I'm that stupid?"

Yi Zheng couldn't help but touch his nose, a sign of his guilty conscience, because he had been forced to tactically switch bases several times by some nobody, and had lost each time.

Learn from your mistakes.

But there was no other way, because the transition in those situations was forced upon them; they had no choice but to switch.

Not to mention Chu Tianjiao's brute strength, Yi Zheng had no need to take any risks under these circumstances and simply chose to hold on first.

Yi Zheng recalled something someone said while watching a game livestream: "Play it safe and don't be reckless."

When Chu Tianjiao raised the calamity, Yi Zheng squeezed in from the right. Chu Tianjiao glanced at Yi Zheng's squeeze on the right and couldn't help but sigh.

Yi Zheng was not fooled. Continuing to fight this trap would be pointless, and there was even a risk of losing everything and getting nothing in return.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiao could only shake his head and completely eliminate the tribulation above.

Yi Zheng, a very simple player who lived and worked on the second lane, completely connected his top left corner to the dragon.

"In the end, the two sides... reached a peaceful conclusion."

Looking at the area on the board where the dust had settled, An Jing, a third-dan player, breathed a slight sigh of relief and commented in her usual gentle and intellectual voice: "The black stones at the top have completely captured all the white stones that were surrounded, but Yi Zheng, an eighth-dan player, has also managed to connect his large group back."

Jin Wan, a 9-dan player, spat the tea leaves in his mouth into the trash can next to him: "Pah, what peace? It's just a treaty that humiliates and destroys our sovereignty."

Now, dealing with the large dragon in the middle of Chu Tianjiao's body has become a major problem, as he is completely trapped in Yi Zheng's encirclement.

And the right side is also a problem; Chu Tianjiao now has no choice but to fight a desperate battle, a fight to the death.

Chu Tianjiao was naturally aware of this problem, and he wanted to take advantage of Yi Zhengzhong's weakness—the small dragon with a thin taste—to resolve his own problem through an attack.

Even if there were other options, Chu Tianjiao would still only choose this one.

"Born to fight, fight to the death!"

Don't ask, all I'll say is a fist the size of a sandbag, are you scared?
But Yi Zheng said he wasn't afraid at all!
Move 144, White, cuts across!
Yi Zheng was not afraid at all; instead, he chose to directly counterattack the large black group above.

No matter the circumstances, you can't just sit back and take a beating; counterattack is the best defense!

It's just a half-cooked rice; my teeth are perfectly fine! Eating it is no problem at all.

Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Yi Zheng's strength was unexpected.

Chu Tianjiao even felt that Yi Zheng was no less powerful than himself and Jiang Mobai in terms of pure strength, but he just didn't show it usually.

The moment Chu Tianjiao pulled, Yi Zheng didn't hesitate and immediately snapped his wrist.

On the right side of the board, the two sides once again engaged in a fierce battle. "This is the last turning point of the game. There are still many clues here, and it is quite complicated. However, Chu Tianjiao's large group on the left is at risk of being attacked first by Yi Zheng."

Jin Wan couldn't help but shake his head, not very optimistic about Chu Tianjiao's chances of turning the tide in this area.

However, the situation is still quite complex at the moment. As long as the chessboard remains complex, there will always be opportunities.

This is a consensus among all top players: as long as things remain chaotic, even if one side feels confident of victory and believes they can't lose no matter what, there's still a risk of losing.

This was also what Chu Tianjiao was thinking: as long as things remained chaotic, he would always have a chance.

Unfortunately, although Yi Zheng also felt that things were very chaotic here, he had already prepared a clever move that seemed to take him away from the main battlefield.

Move 158, White, move!

Seeing Yi Zheng, who had directly abandoned the main battlefield and moved to the lower level instead of the fighting above, the commentator An Jing San Duan was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Wasn't the previous battle the final decisive moment? Why would Yi Zheng deviate from the main battlefield at this point? Isn't he afraid of collapsing?
The moment Jin Wan, a 9-dan professional, saw this move, his expression froze.

It wasn't the stunned stillness of silence, but rather an epiphany struck by a flash of inspiration!

Jin Wan leaned forward, almost touching the commentary screen in front of him, and unconsciously and rhythmically slapped his palms with his fan. Then he leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily, "I'm getting old... useless. I only realized there was a masterful touch here after Yi Zheng came out!"

A stroke of genius!

Chu Tianjiao will definitely resign within three moves; the game is over. This is the perfect finishing move.

"what?"

Chu Tianjiao, who was sitting at the scene, suddenly stood up. He hadn't expected that there was really another step to take.

But when Yi Zheng came down, Chu Tianjiao realized that Yi Zheng's Iron Mountain Lean was too strong.
It may seem like they've left the main battlefield, but in reality, they've completely transformed the previous battles into a pattern of Yi Zheng's complete success.

Or rather, the threat posed to him by those above has been completely neutralized.

Yi Zheng immediately delivered a critical hit!
Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He couldn't charge forward now, otherwise Yi Zheng could have broken through directly, and a local calamity would have inevitably formed.

Once this ko is formed, Yi Zheng can simultaneously absorb the liberties of Chu Tianjiao's large dragon above and entangle with Chu Tianjiao's black stones below. All the killing moves become ko threats for Yi Zheng himself, and Chu Tianjiao will instantly collapse.

They're taking lives while simultaneously robbing people!
“But even if he sticks to it, Yi Zheng will still get one of the two sides.”

Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Once Yi Zhenglian returned, the dragon above would be completely dead.

But if Yi Zheng rushes down, the area below will be smashed to pieces.

Chu Tianjiao only tentatively tried to stop Yi Zheng from returning, but when Yi Zheng charged down, Chu Tianjiao already knew that it was too late.

Without hesitation, White charged down, launching an attack on the weak point of Black's stones below!
Simple, brutal, and efficient! It's like a fully insured semi-trailer carrying steel wheels is rushing towards you on the national highway.

You don't even need to do the math; you already know you have to start over.

"I have the will to kill the enemy, but I am powerless to reverse the situation."

Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but sigh, but he admitted defeat very readily.

After all, there was no way to fight Yi Zheng here.

If they keep fighting like this, they'll be completely shameless.

Yi Zheng used two quick moves to completely end the game.
