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

Chapter 417 Wearing a Helmet When Playing Chess
"..."

Shen Guhong watched helplessly as Yi Zheng made a brilliant move, instantly turning his entire group of white stones into a dead group. An overwhelming sense of regret welled up in his heart, and he was extremely annoyed.

I filled in the wrong place before!
An incredibly serious mistake!

A mistake I hadn't even realized I'd made!
If it weren't for that mistake, I should have already won!
Shen Guhong couldn't help but recall the entire game's progress. Even when Yi Zheng was in a precarious situation with a 2-0 lead and a match point, he remained remarkably calm and composed, engaging in a fierce battle of wits and inner strength with Yi Zheng.

As the game progressed into the middle stage, Shen Guhong believed that the two sides were still locked in a fierce and evenly matched contest, with neither gaining a clear advantage.

Unfortunately, in his eagerness to gain more points, Shen Guhong made a crucial mistake when trying to secure a group of stones.

After this major mistake was noticed by the audience, many felt that the game was on the verge of collapse and was about to be completely over.

Surprisingly, Yi Zheng did not eat it immediately. Instead, he made a series of unreasonable moves in another space where Shen Gu Hong was, and all five words that entered were captured by Shen Gu Hong.

The people outside the venue were very surprised, but theoretically it was quite normal; those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things more clearly.

Often, due to the influence of their opponents, players fail to notice the problematic moves their opponents make, and sometimes even perceive them as traps.

For example, in a competition, a top player misjudged the move, while another top player, seeing this, felt that the opponent couldn't possibly make such a basic mistake and thought it must be a trap, so he didn't try to capture the opponent.

When it came time to review the match, both sides were at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is quite normal that Yi Zheng did not investigate the calculations in detail after Shen Guhong completed the work.

However, Shen Guhong also failed to realize that there was a problem with his group and he hadn't made any changes. Although he was indeed unable to turn things around, he was now immersed in the joy of annihilating Yi Zhengzhi's isolated pieces.

Just as Shen Guhong was feeling smug, thinking that he might actually break Yi Zheng's invincible myth in this game, Yi Zheng suddenly turned around and made a brilliant move, directly killing Shen Guhong's piece.

So how could Shen Guhong not be extremely annoyed? After all, if he had filled in the gap correctly here, this wouldn't have happened, and he would have been in a winning position!

Seeing Shen Guhong's frustrated expression, Yi Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "If you had patched this up correctly, I wouldn't have deliberately made such a fuss."

Shen Guhong was stunned when he heard what he had just heard, and looked astonished: "Since you saw it all along, why did you go through all that trouble?"

Yi Zheng shrugged: "I remember you said during a training match that you should remember bad mistakes for life."

So I thought I'd send you to heaven first, then to hell, so the lesson will be more memorable.

Upon hearing this, Shen Guhong was speechless, because he had indeed said the same thing before.

The incident started when Yi Zheng and Miao Jun were playing against each other. Miao Jun could have easily survived, but he didn't play the right position, which made Shen Guhong unable to hold back and complain.

If my opponent makes such a basic mistake, I won't rush to attack; I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget.

Unexpectedly, before his opponent could even make a mistake, he himself made such a blunder at the crucial moment of the final, and the boomerang hit him on the head.

"..." Seeing the silent Shen Guhong, Yi Zheng continued to comfort him, "It's alright. Even if you fix things here, I've already completely taken control of the situation. You'll just have to die peacefully later."

"Remember to wear a helmet next time you play chess!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Guhong immediately uttered a harsh remark. After everyone got to know him, they all realized that Yi Zheng, who appeared honest on the surface, was actually incredibly lewd inside, or what is commonly known as a true flirt.

However, because Yi Zheng usually behaves quite seriously, and even dresses in a style reminiscent of an old cadre, and sometimes carries a teacup with him, some people actually think he is a celibate type!
Even when Yi Zheng made some harsh remarks, everyone felt a strong sense of contrast. A bunch of his "mommy fans" said that Yi Zheng only knew how to speak the truth in a serious manner, but others couldn't accept it.

That's utter nonsense!
However, Yi Zheng only jokes with people he's familiar with. He doesn't say a word to people he's not familiar with.

So Shen Guhong pretended to leave, but seeing that Yi Zheng didn't react, he couldn't help but curse, "Can't you pull me back?"

"Anyway, you won't leave even if you don't do a post-mortem analysis."

"Who told you that!"

"Let's talk about whether or not to resume operations."

"Review the proceedings!"

After the two finished their brief debriefing, a large group of people had gathered in the game room. Although everyone was somewhat prepared for this outcome, they still couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Yun Linglei felt that after winning the first game, he was defeated by Shen Guhong 2-1, which resulted in the new generation of players entering the finals to compete for the championship in this National Championship.

However, just like all other new generation players' records against Yi Zheng, Shen Guhong has never won a single game in an official match over the years, and this time was no exception.

Yi Zheng won the championship with a resounding 3-0 victory, leaving only the National Games gold medal among the three major domestic competitions.

But what's actually more important than the competition is that, in the days since the semi-finals of Xuanji Bengyun ended, many people have been constantly studying it and many have fallen into self-doubt.

Although Yi Zheng said after the competition that with these changes, he would probably be eliminated, there would probably be very few people left.

However, the majority of people still don't believe in such things. You say you'll be eliminated? I don't believe it!

However, after research by the top professionals still present, everyone had to admit that changing the appearance is now the best way to break the Collapse Cloud type, and the inner curve change will probably gradually disappear in the future.

Meanwhile, Yi Zheng was taking photos with others while holding the grand trophy. Because it was close to the Chinese New Year and many students had already started their holidays, there were just too many chess fans at the end of the day.

Because many people had no chance to get Yi Zheng's autograph or take photos during the previous competition, they finally had the opportunity. The whole process of taking photos and signing autographs took more than an hour and it still wasn't over.

In the end, it wasn't that Yi Zheng himself didn't want to continue the interaction, but rather that he was forcibly pulled to the interview area by the staff waiting nearby, who were eager to give a media interview.
