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

Chapter 381 Heroes Meet in Old Age

"As time has passed, I have come to understand more and more the mindset of Gu Jianhun, who was at the ninth level back then."

Li Junhe looked at the young man sitting opposite him. The young man's face was so youthful that it was almost jarring. An indescribable sense of temporal displacement, like a cold tide, quietly washed over Li Junhe's heart.

Li Junhe couldn't help but sigh to himself. The events of ten years ago seemed to be incredibly clear in his memory, and he even remembered every step he took back then.

Back when he faced Gu Jianhun at the Olympics, Li Junhe couldn't understand why the opponent was playing so hard.

He felt that his senior's reckless and almost life-threatening attitude revealed a tragic and stubbornness that he did not understand.

At that time, he firmly believed that time was always on his side, so why should the other party do this? Why did it have to come to this?

Now I understand that at this age, it's time to give it your all.

Fight for a good ending for yourself, and fight for a future for future generations!
He himself must also leave a seed for the future of Silla to produce a new Lee Jun-hyuk!
At this moment, he felt as if he and the ancient sword spirit of yesteryear were recognizing each other across time and space—both were offering their swords to the windmill of the times.

Yi Zheng nodded slightly at Li Junhe. In a way, Yi Zheng had indeed grown up watching Li Junhe play chess. The two were more than ten years apart in age, so they could be considered as two completely different generations.

Li Junhe's peak debut coincided with the time when Yi Zheng and his generation were just beginning their professional education.

In particular, when Gu Jianhun defeated Li Junhe to win the Olympic championship, it gave a bunch of young guys a huge boost of energy.

Of course, the enthusiasm was only temporary. Later, as Li Junhe entered his super peak period, many young minds went into a state of self-isolation, constantly muttering that Li Junhe was invincible.

Later, after Jiang Mobai and his group began to break through the blockade, the three heroes of the anti-Korean campaign stepped onto the historical stage, and the situation improved slightly.

Yi Zheng had thought about fighting Li Junhe before, but he really didn't expect such a dramatic thing to happen.

So far, the two have only played once, and Li Junhe was killed by Mi Dao without ever getting a chance to perform.

Yi Zheng was slightly disappointed at the time, after all, he also wanted to see Li Junhe's style, but who knew that Li Junhe would suddenly rush up and stab himself a few times, and then ask Yi Zheng if he was afraid.

But Yi Zheng no longer feels much for Li Junhe. Even if Li Junhe at his peak were to come, Yi Zheng would no longer feel the trepidation and awe he once had.

No matter how capable you are, you can never be as capable as me.

In the world of Go, no matter how high the mountain or how long the river, there will only be one me, Yi Zheng.

This is Yi Zheng's current mindset.

Mr. Ke: Really? I don't believe it. (Lu Yu's face.jpg)

The two sides didn't exchange many words before the match, and just waited quietly for the match to begin.

The Go League has four boards. Each team has four players, two black and two white. Yi Zheng's line means he plays white and goes second.

Li Junhe simply chose a small star point and then a small knight's move to the corner at the beginning. Just as he had predicted, Yi Zheng's white openings were basically two star points in 80-90% of the time.

Yi Zheng's move was a simple spike. After Li Junhe split the three lanes, he directly slipped in from the second lane. This created a change for both sides. Li Junhe felt that he was facing the same problem as Kuroki Teruto back then.

"It was very easy to beat Yi Zheng into a fool, which must have been very gratifying. But the problem is that my external defenses are becoming increasingly severe." Even Li Junhe, whose judgment on thickness and various situations was far superior to that of his contemporaries, was known as the invincible endgame player and the leader in gaps.

However, in his opinion, being beaten into a pancake shape is not unacceptable, but it is definitely not good under normal circumstances, let alone at the beginning of the game.

But even though he had clearly crushed Yi Zheng, Li Junhe could sense that he was the one who was in trouble.

Lee Jun-hyuk couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes being perceptive isn't necessarily a good thing. You can sense something's wrong, but you don't know what to do.

You can foresee the trajectory of fate, yet you find that you have no rudder to change its course.

So sometimes, being oblivious is a kind of happiness; once you understand, you feel powerless.

Li Junhe didn't have any good ideas, so he could only try to break the line in the middle, while Yi Zheng continued to threaten the line by placing it outwards.

"Yi Zheng's research in this area is definitely stronger than Li Junhe's, or rather, he should be stronger than everyone else's."

Miao Jun, as a guest commentator, couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the situation on the board: "Just look at it from here. His decision to attack from the second line shows that he was prepared in advance. The coordination of this second-line attack is very good."

Because if it were a simple split-two, Li Junhe, with his skill in supporting the second lane, would destroy Yi Zheng's ground, but now there's no such concern.

After Yi Zheng finished his attack on the left and then dismantled it, he immediately gained a significant lead in territory. I could already feel Yi Zheng's advantage in less than fifty moves, which is a terrifying reality.

Yi Zheng currently feels he is far ahead of other players in every aspect.

As Miao Jun spoke, he shook his chubby face: "So I feel that how to face Yi Zheng in future major competitions will be the biggest challenge for all of us top professional players."

"Because if you don't beat Yi Zheng, it means you have no chance of winning the championship."

Yi Zheng has become the biggest obstacle on everyone's road to the championship.

Miao Jun also felt quite troubled, after all, he had never won a championship in an international or national competition, and he couldn't possibly not win a single high-value championship in the future.

Has the most prestigious championship in the EasyWin era become a commercial tournament? Is it because everyone can only win championships through commercial tournaments?

This is so unreasonable! This is so dark!

Yi Zheng was unaware that other players of his generation were already fantasizing about a dark future. Looking at Li Junhe's chess moves, Yi Zheng simply shook his head.

Compared to the younger Kuroki Teruto and Jiang Mobai, Li Junhe was undoubtedly a step behind in learning new ideas.

There's no way around it; no matter how talented you are, as you get older, your ability to learn and absorb information will inevitably decline.

Has Li Junhe's once lightning-fast calculation speed and leaping thinking become shrouded in a thin mist?
It's a pity that even the strongest of the previous era could not escape the erosion of time.

Since ancient times, the beauty has sighed for twilight, and the hero is not allowed to see the white head.
