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

Chapter 317 I am invincible

20th move, White, extend!
Yi Zheng observed the situation on the field and placed his piece on the star position in the center of the left side, preparing to expand the formation on the left side in conjunction with the external influence in the upper left.

To most people, this move seems fine. There are plenty of large openings, and you can be pretty much right as long as you place your bet on a large board, unless you actually make it to the top tier.

But after taking a look at this move, Master Ke couldn't help but shake his head. You can't say this move is bad; it doesn't actually lower the winning rate much.

However, Coach Ke believes that it would be better to either use a small flying move in the lower left corner or to dismantle and hang up the opponent's position.

But since Yi Zheng didn't choose that option, and Professor Ke wouldn't hesitate, I'll gladly accept this good offer.

Move 21, Black, forces!
Seeing that Elder Ke was closing in, Yi Zheng didn't think too much and immediately attacked, charging forward three times.

Both sides played a common 3-3 opening move in the upper right corner. When Yi Zheng gained the initiative, he made a flying move in the upper left corner.

Everyone could see Yi Zheng's intention in this game: to expand the position on the left.

But Master Ke didn't seem worried. His next move was to fly down from the right and press down on Yi Zheng's white pieces.

This step is necessary; otherwise, if Yi Zheng were to suppress it from the middle again, the center would truly form a cosmic flow.

Once this situation was created, which created a barrier in the middle, Mr. Ke felt that he was in real trouble, but he was able to prevent the situation from turning out that way.

Seeing Fei Ya's move, Yi Zheng rushed forward without any hesitation.

If not now, when? We have no choice but to go for it!
This was also the first impression of all the top players watching the game, because in everyone's eyes, this was a unique move.

Aside from this step, no one felt there was anything else worthwhile to do.

Following normal, conventional thinking, the next step should be for both sides to break through, then twist into a cross shape, leading to a fierce battle in the center.

Basically, everyone had anticipated this situation, and some even began to consider who would have the upper hand in this battle in the central government.

After a brief discussion, everyone basically agreed that, with Yi Zheng and Zi Li's cooperation, even if AlphaGo was stronger, it shouldn't gain much advantage.

Great! Yi Zheng is full of energy!
"Judging from the current situation, Yi Zheng should be able to hold his own for about 100 moves. He truly deserves to be recognized as the world's strongest opening and most unpredictable mid-game strategist."

Even if his chances of winning this game are slim, there's still hope, and it might even be the game that truly reveals the limits of AlphaGo's strength!

Li Zongrui couldn't help but exclaim that probably only Yi Zheng in the current chess world could do this, and it would be very difficult for others.

Although Li Zongrui secretly hoped that Yi Zheng could really defeat AlphaGo, his rationality told him that it was almost impossible. If he could push AlphaGo to its limit and let everyone see his full strength, that would already be an extraordinary performance.

To this day, no one can even imagine how strong AlphaGo really is. It's like a towering mountain peak, obscured by clouds, and you have no idea how high it is above the clouds.

Yi Zheng might be able to pass through the clouds and see the mountaintop that no one has ever seen before.

"But no matter whether I want to win the Asian or the world championship in the future, Yi Zheng will be my biggest enemy!"

"It's so exciting to be born in the same era as you and AlphaGo! But I will not give up! I will definitely win the championship, including this Asian Cup! Yi Zheng, I'm even more looking forward to our duel!" Li Zongrui couldn't help but clench his fists and make up his mind. No matter how strong the enemy was, it would never be a reason for him to back down. It was only worthwhile to defeat a strong opponent!
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Mr. Ke gave a negative review to the move that everyone, including Yi Zheng, thought was the only one of its kind.

In his view, now that the left side has already established a strong position, they can completely disregard the right side and focus on developing the left side. This way, the situation should still be about 50/50.

However, Yi Zheng's current choice will likely put him in a tough battle.

However, the battle that Master Ke envisioned was different from everyone else's.

What era are we living in? Windmills still creak and spin! Who still does the cross maneuver?

It was inevitable that Elder Ke would block the way here, but after Yi Zheng broke through, Elder Ke directly used a common trick to attack, pressing down five times in the center, directly helping Yi Zheng to enter the heart of the center head-on.

To anyone watching, AlphaGo's tactics were incredibly simplistic!
It's so vulgar it's outrageous! It's completely...

Kuroki Teruto rubbed his temples, thankful that some of his seniors didn't know how to use computers, otherwise they probably would have complained about being disgusted.

It's fortunate that AlphaGo wasn't born here, otherwise...

Even so, Kuroki Teruto couldn't see the point of all these methods. Wasn't this just making Yi Zheng stronger?

Or does AlphaGo have some other idea or method? I can't tell at all!

After AlphaGo made consecutive bets in the middle, it clamped down on the top, clearly capturing the upper right corner in one fell swoop, and also surrounding about fifty points of territory from the previous generation.

However, the drawbacks are too obvious. It directly helped Yi Zheng form a huge external force in the central area, and both its orientation and breadth are extremely impressive.

It would be very difficult for Kuroki Teruto to cause any more damage here in the future.

Could this really become a masterpiece of the Yi Zheng Universe style? After all, the central external influence combined with the cooperation on the left is truly magnificent!
Does AlphaGo think that splitting the game is easy? And is it trying to make it more difficult for itself?
Isn't this just plain insanity?

Ethan immediately jumped up, seeing this as overwhelming evidence—a blatant case of a shady deal!

"Just as I thought! That's exactly it! Otherwise, Yi Zheng wouldn't have been able to defeat AlphaGo in the last game, no, including the game before that! AlphaGo must have received some benefits and deliberately let Yi Zheng win!"
Absolutely shameless! We're doing this behind closed doors, even in the dark! Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!

However, no one else knew what AlphaGo was planning to do. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed that Yi Zheng was in a better position now.

Could it be that Yi Zheng is really going to create a miracle tonight?

Mr. Ke shook his head as he looked at the constantly refreshing question marks and various comments in the comment section.

This is the difference!
The difference in perspective!
"You still don't understand. You can't make something real appear weak, and you can use methods to make something powerful disappear. And my method of dealing with orphans is invincible!"

While you are still anxious about how to find a way to control the situation in the middle, in my opinion, this is not an external factor at all.

Nine ways! I have nine ways to limit the influence of external forces!
