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

Chapter 421 Only Playing Go
"Therefore, based on the previous analysis, the idea of ​​a local change like an 'inward turn' is not feasible, and an outward turn is the best solution."

While using the mouse to manipulate various diagrams on the chessboard software, Yi Zheng explained them in detail to the live stream.

He initially analyzed and demonstrated the key changes and points he had recently understood and learned to the chess fans watching on the live streaming platform.

Standing to the side, Old Ke couldn't help but touch his chin as he watched the number of viewers for the live stream surpass 10. Yi Zheng's first live stream had already broken his own record. Besides his own abstract help, the main reason was that Go was too popular in this world.

In the online world where Ke Lao was active, the audience that Go streamers with relatively large fan bases often attracted was not purely for the Go skills themselves, but rather for fans who were enthusiastic about abstract memes in online culture.

However, this situation is not entirely absolute.

Because when Mr. Ke himself was live streaming his games in the past, he had reached a real-time online audience of 20,000 to 30,000 people, which was even more than the number of people he sometimes attracted when he did abstract games.

Of course, this is inseparable from the huge traffic of the platform he chose at the time, and there is indeed a considerable group of middle-aged enthusiasts on that platform who prefer to watch Go games.

Oh no, it seems like he's actually trying to teach me.

[I understand now, can I challenge for the world's number one spot next?]

[He really learned something! Yi Zheng didn't hold anything back.]

【666】

【Hello Yi Zheng, 9th Dan, my child is currently aiming to become a professional. How much do you charge per private lesson? I'd like to have you tutor my child for a few lessons.】

Oh no! He really knows how to play Go!

"Okay, that concludes my explanation of the core aspects of this specific change pattern."

In fact, we have already clarified most of the key details. As for the remaining minor details, I believe that all chess players can rely on their own abilities to conduct in-depth research and deduction.

Next, I'm going to start playing Go, since our live stream is called "Only Go."

Upon hearing this sentence from the live broadcast, the many Go enthusiasts waiting in front of their screens were immediately invigorated, and their eyes lit up.

Although Yi Zheng's previous humorous and abstract live streams were indeed very entertaining, and his explanations of new Go concepts and knowledge were very insightful and inspiring for the audience, deep down everyone was actually looking forward to seeing Yi Zheng personally playing Go online.

After all, these days, although there are indeed many Go streamers online, it is still extremely rare to see a professional Go player like Yi Zheng, who is ranked number one in the world, playing a game live.

Even most professional streamers with a certain level of skill, when they start streaming, mostly watch the matches and provide verbal commentary; they rarely participate in the games themselves.

Most commercially valuable and skilled chess players don't play online. Those who occasionally receive a membership fee only play a few exhibition matches as a formality. Those who need training will arrange to train privately in small rooms without letting others see them.

Because if people watch it online too often, they'll get tired of it. Although online competitions are different from official competitions, they will still affect commercial value.

When less skilled professionals play online, people are worried about polluting the database, even though it's unclear whose database is worse.

"I'm thinking about whether to use a smurf account to smurf or use my main account to play against someone. I'll log in to my account first, and you guys can apply. I'll use the system to randomly select someone later."

Upon hearing this, a certain anti-traitor alliance (the version that catches the mole) immediately erupted in anger.

"Is anyone watching Yi Zheng's live stream?" "I just watched it. He explained Xuanji Bengyun in great detail. Should we study it together after the New Year? I've realized that our previous research direction was a bit problematic."

"They've already been eliminated, what's the point of studying this? I watched it as soon as it started airing. Do those guys really think Yi Zheng is innocent? That guy is just a repressed pervert, okay!"

"Yi Zheng is actually giving live-streamed game coaching advice?"

"I have already applied with a secondary account, let's see if I can be selected."

"I secretly signed up with an alternate account too, let's ambush him! The time for revenge has come!"

If you are careless during an online game, it is easy for Yi Zheng to lose!

This is the perfect opportunity for everyone to get revenge. If we can't beat you in official matches, can't we beat you in online games?

After I win, I'll announce that I defeated Yi Zheng, and that I defeated him in front of so many viewers. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

As for losing?

What does what my alt account lost have to do with me? Who told you this was my alt account? Which eye of yours saw that? Don't make baseless accusations!
So everyone was eagerly waiting to see which lucky person Yi Zheng would draw.

There's no way around it; everyone has been under immense pressure for the past six months.

Yi Zheng has even been called the "Iron Gate of Champions" by some people. Theoretically, everyone should be happy to see a player of this caliber emerge.

However, this may not be the case for players from their own country.

After all, players from other countries can only encounter Yi Zheng in international competitions, such as the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament. If they can't beat me, I simply won't invite Yi Zheng.

However, Chinese players are not like that. Besides major competitions and the top-tier league, Yi Zheng also occasionally has time to participate in commercial matches, and once he participates, everyone gets a headache.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all!
Fortunately, there are many commercial competitions now. Because Yi Zheng participates in many important competitions and invited competitions, he may only participate in one or two a year at most, or sometimes he may not participate at all.

This reignited everyone's passion for the competition, and many top players even scrambled to participate in commercial competitions.

Some even say that commercial competitions are the real national tournaments because only in these competitions can everyone win the championship! That's what a national championship is! Not a one-man show!

Ah Q's mentality is certainly laughable, but people really have no other choice but to achieve a spiritual victory, because if you can't beat someone in Go, you really can't beat them.

But even if they can't beat them, everyone is still not convinced. I don't believe that you, Yi Zheng, are also an AlphaGo player who can't lose.

"Congratulations to the chess player named 'thundercloud' for becoming our first lucky guest in this live broadcast."

Yi Zheng read aloud the results randomly selected by the system, and then asked through the dialog box, "Do you need me to give you a few points?"

"No need to let us have a piece; we can just go first." The other party's reply quickly appeared on the screen.
