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

Chapter 316 The calm before the storm

"Let's split up? We haven't played in a long time, have we?"

Old Ke was slightly surprised to see Yi Zheng take the initiative to split the game. It seemed that winning two games in a row tonight had boosted Yi Zheng's confidence!

He actually said he wanted to have a fair fight with himself?

Who gave you the courage?

Liang Jingru?

I've seen you getting all worked up these past three days! You don't actually think you can beat me, do you? You must have lost your mind.

"Are you sure you want to play against me like this right now? Has your short-lived victory made you arrogant? Has it gone to your head? Play against me first, and even the phrase 'nine deaths and one life' is an understatement."

"Calm down. Your current strength isn't enough to fight me head-on."

If Coach Ke felt that Yi Zhengfen's win rate against him was 50% out of 100, then he was really praising him.

Old Ke felt that unless he suddenly disappeared and became a Buddha, Yi Zheng would have absolutely no chance of winning.

confidence!

Absolute confidence!
"Young hero, let's explore the area ahead later. There's no need for you to face an enemy you can't defeat."

Old Ke waved his hand dismissively. In his opinion, Yi Zheng's efforts were futile. Moreover, he had just made a name for himself tonight. If he lost a game, even if they were evenly matched, it would be a bucket of cold water poured on him.

Yi Zheng took a deep breath, his expression grave: "Unbeatable? I don't understand!"
I have never liked waiting; I only know that I must keep striving to reach new heights and break through my own limitations!
"Preparing and preparing forever? How long will that take? That's just an excuse for cowards."

There is no such thing as doing something only after being fully prepared, or rather, every challenge I face is the greatest preparation!

The west wind is fierce, wild geese cry in the frosty morning moon. The frosty morning moon, the sound of horses' hooves, the fading of trumpets.

The road ahead is long and arduous, but we stride forward anew. Anew we begin, amidst mountains as vast as the sea, and the setting sun as blood-red as blood.

Ten thousand years is too long; seize the day!

Let alone a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, what if it's a ten-out-of-ten chance of death?
No matter what you want to succeed at, the first condition is always that you have to do it. Only by doing it can you have a chance of success.

If you don't try, you'll never succeed!
The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now.

So let's do it today!

Without hesitation, Yi Zheng opened the interface again.

Looking at the game interface, Master Ke knew that Yi Zheng had made his decision. He placed a hand on Yi Zheng's shoulder and said, "King Arthur said that Shakespeare once said, 'Who can stop a young knight from going to his death?'"

Then so be it.

But I won't hold back; be prepared for a tough fight.

While everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of Yi Zheng's victory over AlphaGo, the computer screen once again displayed a game reminder.

Yi Zheng vs. AlphaGo.

The rule of the number system is that the black piece is three and three-quarters.

Black: AlphaGo
Bai: Yi Dimension [Yi Zheng]

Upon seeing the match, everyone's emotions exploded once again.

Yi Zheng faced AlphaGo for the third time! He won the first match with a two-stone handicap and the second match with a handicap!

This time, we're going to challenge for first place!
Modern Go rules for fair competition!

Can you win?
"Is Yi Zheng going to create a miracle tonight?! It's happened twice in a row! Will the miracle continue?" This thought couldn't help but pop into everyone's mind.

If you win by giving up two pieces first and then by giving up the first piece, is it possible to win by dividing the pieces?

The saying goes, "One effort, then a decline, then exhaustion." AlphaGo's two consecutive defeats suggest that its fate is sealed.
This thought couldn't help but pop into everyone's mind.

Even top experts couldn't help but have this thought, although everyone rationally believed it was simply impossible.

In the previous game, Yi Zheng was completely overwhelmed in the middle game. He only won this game because of AlphaGo's mistakes and Yi Zheng's fighting spirit and perseverance.

In reality, even if Yi Zheng wins with a handicap, the probability of him winning is not necessarily high, let alone if he wins by splitting the score.

It's almost impossible to win.

But a strange expectation still arises in everyone's heart; there will always be someone hoping for a miracle to happen.

AlphaGo has severely suppressed the entire world of Go.

Especially after AlphaGo swept the world, all sorts of arguments have been rampant, such as that Go is dead and that with AlphaGo around, there is no need for anyone else to play Go.

Can your Go even be called Go?

Everyone acknowledges AlphaGo's power, but hearing such comments is still painful.

Even if we're not as strong, as long as we can win one game!

That also proves that AlphaGo is not invincible!
He's still human!

He's not a god of Go!

Keep it up, Yi Zheng!
All the top players couldn't help but cheer for Yi Zheng. After all, if Yi Zheng could win a game, wouldn't it mean that if they trained hard, they would also have a chance to steal a game in the future?
Of course, there is one other person who is an exception.

Ethan's keyboard was indeed smashed to pieces; it should have all belonged to him!

Could it be that tonight's whole thing was a setup for Yi Zheng? Making AlphaGo intentionally lose to him, then elevating him to godlike status?

"Yes! Definitely! This is a deification scheme! They're trying to deceive others into thinking Yi Zheng is incredibly powerful! That's exactly it!"
Even if I win this round, I won't accept it! It's all fake! Don't try to fool me! Hahahaha!

Yi Zheng, of course, had no idea that someone on the other side of the world had gone mad. Instead, he stared at the chessboard and began to think.

The initial move is a huge and daunting challenge, but chess players must find a way to victory even in dire circumstances.

Kobe's opening move of 3-3 and small eye is a typical move aimed at securing territory, which is consistent with his usual style.

Yi Zheng still adopted the strategy of remaining unchanged in the face of all changes, and used the method of placing two stars in a row, meaning he would not move if the enemy did not move.

With black as the main color, Ke Lao has a komi of seven and a half points under the rule of the number system. It all depends on whether his initiative will cause problems.

Without any hesitation, Master Ke reasoned that since Yi Zheng had already achieved two consecutive stars, he should definitely aim for three stars as well.

However, when faced with Yi Zheng's invitation to Mi Dao, Old Ke did not fall for it.

Yi Zheng is no longer the inexperienced person he once was. He has mastered most of the variations of the Mi Dao, making it very difficult to strike him here.

However, if Yi Zheng doesn't finish his move, the board will suddenly shrink, giving him more opportunities.

Therefore, Master Ke also adopted the same approach of attacking from the top. After Yi Zheng gained the initiative, he came to the lower right corner to hang the corner. After a simple two-three split, Master Ke also finished his first move and completed the final move in the upper left corner.

Both players started with very simple routines, as if neither intended to make the first move.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
