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

Chapter 368 Boomerang

A black color on the bottom of a pot.

He felt that this was the color of his face right now, because he had taken the blame for someone else's mistake.

Kuroki Teruto remained frozen in his seat, maintaining his composure, for this was his last vestige of dignity; he could not afford to break down, for to do so would mean certain defeat!
Yi Zheng's move in the bottom right corner was absolutely pre-planned! And it was pure retaliation! It was all based on personal grudges, without any skill whatsoever.

How could Yi Zheng be so wicked!

For the first time, Teruto Kuroki felt so aggrieved while playing Go. Although he managed to create a ko fight in the end, it was too late to turn the tide.

White wins the ko fight. Although Black has also connected, it's important to note that Black has not yet achieved overall survival.

"It looks chaotic, but White has always maintained a firm grip on the situation. The most frightening thing is that White has retreated."

Jiang Mobai looked at the chessboard and couldn't help but rub his face. In Go, once the pieces are withdrawn, there are basically only two possibilities.

It's either a sure win or a sure loss. Yi Zheng is undoubtedly in the former category, since anyone with a little skill can see how big the gap is on the board.

However, the timing of withdrawing the pawns is also a test for the players, especially in complex situations, because only by withdrawing the pawns at the right time can victory be assured.

If you misjudge the situation and withdraw at the wrong time, you may turn a sure victory into a near defeat.

“Yi Zheng used to make excessive demands, but now he actually knows to back down.”

Yun Linglei couldn't help but shake his head. He remembered just how greedy Yi Zheng was. Even though he had already won big, he still wanted to expand his advantage until he completely broke his opponent's mentality.

Now they actually know to back down? Have they changed their ways? Knowing they have the advantage, they want a smooth landing?
Chu Tianjiao was speechless. He felt that Yi Zheng was humiliating him in a different way: "I'm giving you a piece after I've already won the game. You're almost 20 points ahead on the board, and Kuroki Teruto still wants to pay out 7.5 points. This is even more humiliating!"

I've already made concessions and there's still such a big gap. Can you really keep going like this? Or should I give you a little more?
Who could accept such charity? Chu Tianjiao felt that if it were him, he would teach Yi Zheng a lesson about the meaning of the word "scenic"!
"The essence of this game lies in the top left corner; it feels like the balance of power has been redefined!"

Tashi Sangye looked at the chessboard and pointed to the opening changes. After reviewing the entire game, he really didn't feel that Kuroki Teruto had anything wrong with it in the current view.

However, after the start, it seemed inevitable that Kuroki Teruto would be defeated, which could only mean that Yi Zheng had already won at the beginning.

The most important thing is in the top left corner. What I initially thought was Yi Zheng's "foolish move" was the reason Yi Zheng won this game.

Jiang Mobai nodded in deep agreement: "It really feels like... In the situation where Kuroki was outnumbered four to one, Yi Zheng used a few lighter pieces to establish an advantage in a local area, although we couldn't see where the advantage lay."

However, looking back at the process from the result, it must be right here that Yi Zheng had already won.

"The biggest problem was actually the infiltration on the left side. Before we started, none of us expected it to be this tough! We all thought that turning into the upper right corner first would give us the first-mover advantage, but..."

Just two or three moves later, it felt like things were going from "not bad" to "so bad" that the game might be over! Yi Zheng is just too well-rounded!

"Most importantly, our intuition even tells us that Kuroki Teruto might be cheaper."

"This is too difficult!" The Chinese team members had an in-depth discussion about the changes here, and finally concluded that Yi Zheng was too bad!

From the local to the global, Yi Zheng is in a state of dimensional reduction attack everywhere, and even in many places, the analysis after the game is not so clear.

This victory represents a triumph of overall strategic thinking, and could even be described as a victory of firearms over cold weapons, as if telling everyone that times have changed.

To put it bluntly, the group believed that no one in the world could beat Yi Zheng in this round.

"I even feel that if AlphaGo were here in person, he might not be able to defeat Yi Zheng! There's a real possibility that he would lose."

Upon hearing Yun Linglei's startling words, the others quickly waved their hands, saying, "No, no, that's a bit much. Your idea is a bit extreme."

AlphaGo directly defeated the world's top five players, making it a solid Tier 0 game. Some people would even believe you if you said he was an alien. No matter how freak Yi Zheng is now, he can't possibly reach that level.

However, the fact that you can compare Yizheng and AlphaGo proves one thing.

Others seem to be gradually becoming incomparable to Yi Zheng, and the gap is widening.

Since the Chess Saint Tournament, Yi Zheng has been on steroids, rapidly leaving other human chess players far behind. This gap is snowballing and widening at a visible speed!

A sense of despair, described as "This creature is not human," quietly spread.

"I'm hoping that Yi Zheng will be in good form and play well in this game. If he continues to play at this level, there's really no way to win."

Chu Tianjiao really felt like wailing. If Yi Zheng was at this level in every game, what was the point of playing?
The champion's name, Yi Zheng, was already written in before the competition even started, and then everyone began the runner-up competition.

However, no one focused on discussing Yi Zheng's other clever ideas on the chessboard.

It was definitely an accident! Yi Zheng could never be the kind of person who would deliberately retaliate!
As for whether the Japanese players on the other side believe it or not, that's none of our business. Our official statement is that it's all a coincidence!

Takenouchi Katsuya's face was extremely pale at this moment, and he really didn't know what to say.

This game was undoubtedly a defeat for the Japanese player who played the foolish shape, because they lost even after making the move. But the problem is that the player who made the foolish shape was from Japan!
And just the day before, he had said that Kuroki Teruto was the most perfect Go player in Japan, and the next day Kuroki Teruto did the same.

The boomerang was so powerful that it left Takenouchi completely disoriented.

Takenouchi now knows that no matter what she says, it won't work. Even if Yi Zhengyu wins, she can stick to her theory and say that she doesn't agree with this method of winning.

However, Yi Zheng took a different approach and directly switched the roles. Now, no matter what Takenouchi says, Yi Zheng can say, "Kuroki Teruto also did it."

Unless Takenouchi can deny that he is currently the number one person in Japan, he is still contradicting himself.

Young people don’t respect martial ethics!
