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

Chapter 336 The First Step in Treating Orphans
Move 167, Black, clamp!

Looking at Yi Zheng, who was still messing around in his own space, Jiang Mobai really felt his blood pressure was abnormally high.

Every time I actually get to this situation, I get absolutely disgusted by Yi Zheng.

It's like having a slippery, oily loach crawl into your own home, and then there's the tail of a cockroach that's incredibly resilient and always manages to pop out of the most unexpected corners—filthy, disgusting, and impossible to shake off!

However, Jiang Mobai had no other choice but to start with the harshest measures, demanding that everyone eat and stay there.

If they can eat and stay here, there's still hope, but if Yi Zheng really comes back to life, this game is over!
It's practically a pipe dream to expect to win after losing the first two games of a best-of-five series.

It has happened in history, but it is extremely rare, and it is only possible when the opponent has major problems.

In the current situation, Jiang Mobai felt that Yi Zheng had far too many tricks up his sleeve, and was gradually getting stronger with each move.

If it becomes even stronger, it will survive!
Jiang Mobai realized that Yi Zheng's calculations in this part were clearer than his own, and even much clearer.

We've truly entered the realm of Yizheng's comfort zone.

It's still amazing how strong the calculation ability of young people is. Are we old-timers really going to be swept into the dustbin of history?
Move 181, Black, turn!

The crisp sound of the chess piece being placed echoed in the silent square, clearly reaching Jiang Mobai's ears, yet it sounded like a dull death knell.
At this moment, Jiang Mobai had already scratched his hair into a mess, but now he had to make a choice.

Jiang Mobai glanced at his time; he only had three seconds left to count down, leaving him no time to think.

Hearing the urgency of time, Jiang Mobai picked up a piece and placed it on the chessboard, choosing to stick to it.

Upon seeing this, Yi Zheng couldn't help but shake his head.

Based on his intuition and calculations, Jiang Mobai's most explosive and brilliant response at this moment should have been an uncompromising capture on the upper side.

If this happens, a fierce battle will break out on the left side. In other words, if a chaotic battle ensues, Jiang Mobai might still have a sliver of hope.

However, Yi Zheng was not afraid either, because the resources in his upper right corner were also endless.

Once such an extremely complex and chaotic battle develops, this game will definitely become one of the classic games of the year.

Unfortunately, Jiang Mobai did not play his best move. Go is a game played by two people, and a masterpiece cannot be played without the cooperation of the other person.

Yi Zheng sighed that he could only win easily: "Those who are good at killing didn't see clearly, but after I made this move, you should have seen it clearly too."

Move 187, Black, move!

Upon seeing this move, Jiang Mobai was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head to look at the white piece on the right, and couldn't help but cry out in frustration.

"Ah! Ah-"

Jiang Mobai's upper body involuntarily leaned back, crashing heavily against the hard chair back with a dull "thud".

"What a foul sound."

Looking at the sound coming from the live broadcast on the big screen outside, Old Ke couldn't help but complain, "With so many people watching, won't Jiang Mobai's voice and movements be turned into a meme?"
If I could become an all-star of meme videos, I'd be set for life. Seeing Jiang Mobai suddenly yell, Anjing Sanduan was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened, and couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

Isn't the situation quite complicated? Could it be that Jiang Mobai, a ninth-dan player, has already calculated that he is doomed?

Shen Guhong calmly clicked the mouse in a few places and then nodded: "Yi Zheng has already won. Jiang Mobai lost from the previous move. He placed the pieces in the wrong positions."

If Jiang Mobai, a 9-dan player, had attacked from above, and if the situation were still the same, Jiang Mobai could have directly engaged in a fight, resulting in a kill-off between the two sides. Yi Zheng would only have three liberties, while Jiang Mobai would have four.

However, if this were the actual situation, Yi Zheng wouldn't have played like this. But there's no other way now. Jiang Mobai has placed this piece in the wrong position. If it's still attached, Yi Zheng can directly capture it from above and connect everything. Jiang Mobai has no way to fight back.

White's position is now completely collapsed... Yi Zheng's ability to secure his group is probably now the best in the world.

Shen Guhong had to admit that, in terms of governing Gu alone, killing Yi Zheng's Dalong was practically impossible at the moment.

"After this game, it's practically a done deal for Yi Zheng to defeat the Chess Saint. The only question is whether Jiang Mobai can win another game."

Shen Guhong couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't think Yi Zheng had the heart of a bird like Ethan. The probability of him coming back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 was too small. He would most likely win directly this time.

Shen Guhong initially thought Ethan would be difficult to defeat, but judging from his behavior over the past two years, he felt that given a few more years, he would have no problem facing him.

The biggest problem facing players of my generation now is how to defeat Yi Zheng.

Many people now believe that Yi Zheng's momentum is already so strong that he may create a dark era even more terrifying than Li Junhe's back then.

However, Shen Guhong wasn't particularly worried. No matter how good Yi Zheng was, he couldn't possibly go without losing a single game, and he couldn't possibly win all the championships.

For example, right now, if Jiang Mobai were to be shut out 3-0, it would be a huge embarrassment. Even if he wins one game, it would probably be difficult to change the overall situation, but at least he won one game.

Eighteen-year-old chess master Yi Zheng has once again set a record!
"We must catch up."

At the competition venue, Jiang Mobai realized that his chances were all over and that he probably had no more opportunities.

Urged on by time, Jiang Mobai made a move first, and then began to act, but he also knew that now it was just a matter of doing his best and leaving the rest to fate.

Yi Zheng has now figured it out completely: the bottom is already fully alive, and the top can be moved directly, while Jiang Mobai's large group in the middle still needs to be made alive again.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Mobai simply leaned back in his chair. Even if he tried to force his way out, he couldn't; his breath was too tight.

Yi Zheng got a good deal from above, but the bottom is still a dead end.

There's no chance, absolutely no chance.

Jiang Mobai sat there looking at the chessboard for two minutes, and the chess clock next to him also sounded a notification sound.

"White, time expired."

"Sigh!" ×2
Looking at Yi Zheng sighing along with him, Jiang Mobai felt confused, and even wondered if Yi Zheng was mocking him.

You won, what are you sighing about?!
You probably want to see what a true Han Dynasty chess master looks like!
