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

Chapter 410 One-round exit?

"Both sides are climbing the second line in an attempt to make a living group under the current situation. From the overall situation, White's performance is not bad, and it can even be said that it has reached a fairly good level."

With 32 matches in total and 64 players in the National Championships, it's impossible to broadcast all of them live. Only one or two key matches will be broadcast live, and Yi Zheng is naturally the most eye-catching first choice.

After all, as the newly crowned world number one in everyone's mind, countless people are concerned about how far Yi Zheng's winning streak can go.
Can Yi Zheng reach the level of AlphaGo?
Looking at the situation on the field, which had progressed to over fifty moves, Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but comment, his words even carrying a tone of praise. It has to be said that Miao Jun had indeed learned something real from Yi Zheng.

For other ordinary players today, by around move 50, it's generally clear that they've been put at a disadvantage. Players who haven't been put at a disadvantage by move 50 are considered to have the strongest start.

"The white stones in the corner are already alive, and the white stones on the outside are also quite thick, which also puts Yi Zheng on the second line."

Overall, Yi Zheng is not bad. So far, apart from the match against AlphaGo, no one has been able to suppress Yi Zheng in the early game.

He was invincible from the start, and that's not just him bragging.

Yi Zheng now has countless titles, one of which is "Invincible from the Start".

Old Ke even joked from the side, "Chess Saints are really similar, but Yi Zhengguang has this title, but he doesn't know the most essential thing, Old Man Ao."

Move 55, Black plays, "Ban".

"Here we go again! The torture-style move!"

Looking at Yi Zheng, who had been directly pulled down in the upper left corner, Miao Jun silently complained to himself.

He once told several other people that when playing chess with Yi Zheng, it felt like he was standing on a very high place, constantly testing you, interrogating you, forcing you to make mistakes, and finally coldly telling you that it was over.

This is really annoying, just like you're always facing your homeroom teacher, making up for the regret of Go players not having much schooling.

Yi Zheng's move not only prevented Miao Jun from infiltrating in the future, but also tested Miao Jun's reaction.

"He's betting that I'll stick to my own style and keep yielding! If I had just made a move, I might have had a better chance in terms of points, but Yi Zheng would have been able to gain the upper hand first."

Thinking of the terrifying situation where Yi Zheng always had the first move, Miao Jun gritted his teeth and attacked directly.

One step ahead leads to another; we can't let Yi Zheng run us around like a dog for the whole game like before.

Seeing Miao Jun adopt a death-defying posture, Yi Zheng tried hard to suppress the smile on his face, and then decisively and flexibly chose to disengage first.

Miao Jun was stunned when he saw Yi Zheng just running away like that. He had spent a lot of time thinking about how to outwit and outmaneuver Yi Zheng here, but Yi Zheng just retreated so casually.
But seeing Yi Zheng place his pieces directly on other spots, Miao Jun had no choice but to passively follow up. However, after Yi Zheng made a flying move, Miao Jun suddenly realized that his external momentum was starting to develop towards the stick.

A strong position can turn into an isolated one in the blink of an eye!
Just these two moves?

Is he a person or not!

Miao Jun felt he couldn't just sit there and wait to die; if things continued like this, he would really have to be euthanized again soon.

Why do I have to say "again" again?

Sixtieth move, White, Tiger!
"Trying to rob me?" Looking at Miao Jun, who was on the front line, Yi Zheng couldn't help but laugh. He could naturally see that Miao Jun wanted to force him to make a move and then counterattack him from above.

But the problem is, you've never won against me when you rob someone, Fatty!

Seeing Yi Zheng's arm grow out from above, Miao Jun knew that he had no choice but to fight this calamity now!

In particular, according to his calculations, this calamity should have been his advantage.

When I lean against your small-eyed, big-flying mount, how should you respond?
Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Miao Jun frantically racked his brains, trying to calculate, and confirmed that he seemed to have no problems in any place and that he would not be suddenly punished by Yi Zheng again.

Miao Jun couldn't hide his smile anymore. He never expected this! He never imagined this!
I, Fatty, actually managed to rob and beat Yi Zheng one day!
Let's not even talk about whether we can win this game! Anyway, if I win this Zed fight, I'll definitely be the one who benefits! I'm the Zed King!

Not only Miao Jun, but also other players who came over to observe the situation felt that it was a bit difficult to handle.

Because this calamity is very heavy for Yi Zheng, if Miao Jun relies on Yi Zheng to withstand it, the calamity above will be brought back, and Yi Zheng will not be able to find any suitable calamity material at all.

Moreover, even if he manages to hold on, Miao Jun can still steal the opportunity by simply moving around in the lower left corner.

However, if this ko is not held, Yi Zheng's territory on the right side will suffer heavy losses. Miao Jun's original stick will suddenly become a super external force with two eyes of living stones. Furthermore, due to the change in strength, Yi Zheng's original black stones on the outside will instantly become scattered soldiers deep in enemy territory. Miao Jun will even gain an advantage directly!

However, the problem is that if they forcefully stick to it now, Yi Zheng's lower right corner will also be pierced by Miao Jun, because everyone knows there is a classic tesuji here.

It seems that Yi Zheng cannot have both now?
Could it be that Yi Zheng is going to die from his own signature move, the Iron Mountain Lean?

Many people are even worried that after all this time of preparation, Yi Zheng will be eliminated in the first round.
Don't do that!

However, to everyone's astonishment, Yi Zheng forcibly eliminated the calamity, and Miao Jun did not hesitate at all, directly inserting it in the lower right corner.

I'm going to break through Yi Zheng's defenses!

"It seems that the bottom right corner is about to come together. Whether it's the two black stones on the right or the two black stones at the bottom, we have to choose one to discard."

Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but sigh. Although he had long expected Yi Zheng to lose, the fact that he lost like this left everyone feeling empty inside.

Is it really true that no one can remain undefeated in Go?

Who dares to claim invincibility? Who dares to boast of being undefeated?
Perhaps only AlphaGo, which is elusive and rarely seen, can match this.

Hearing the sighs of the people around him, Yi Zheng couldn't help but shake his head. How could no one have seen such a simple method?
Move 73, Black plays, "Ban".

Seeing this, Miao Jun assumed that Yi Zheng had made his choice and blocked the two black stones below without any hesitation.

But Yi Zheng's next move surprised everyone.

The moment Yi Zheng placed his piece, Ke Lao, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but read aloud, "Move 75, Black, point."
