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

Chapter 67 Living Sign
God's Dig!
Cheda's whole body was shaking, physically shaking.

A thrilling move, a decisive move.

"how so……"

Cheda has started talking to himself.

Originally, the situation on the field was that Cheda's large army was being hunted down by Yi Zheng's black-armored army. However, because Cheda had already prepared his white horse volunteers at the rendezvous point below, as long as he continued to run, Cheda could connect with the two sides and directly encircle Yi Zheng's black-armored army, and directly intercept and kill the opponent's pursuing troops.

But Yi Zheng suddenly made this move of digging, directly hitting the place where the original support had to pass. If the white chess piece ran further, it would not face its own reinforcements, but a more brutal encirclement.

Che Da's white chess pieces are now unable to move!

This step was dug into the research room, but in fact, several people who were originally laughing, chatting and drinking tea suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Songxing looked at the few people who were suddenly staring blankly at the chessboard and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you stop running halfway?"

"A truly remarkable move! Calling it a divine move wouldn't be an exaggeration. I never thought it would appear in an amateur competition! Incredible!"

Bai Hua, the chairman of the Huangshan Go Association, seemed to have a trembling voice as he took off his glasses tremblingly.

This step of digging made the people who had just laughed feel like clowns.

"At this point, whether White attacks from above or below, Black will roll over and surround it. Black will then take the initiative and continue to move back to the left to capture more pieces.

But now the situation is completely different! The black piece can now forcibly capture this white piece! All the white pieces in the center are dead!"

Cheda also realized this, but if he was directly conscripted to death, he would be doomed.

Chedda had no choice but to grow to ensure that his dragon would not be eaten.

Zhou Songxing scratched his head as he looked at the situation on the chessboard: "Is this something I can't eat?"

Although I am not good at playing Go, I can still calculate the basics of conquering pieces.

"I really can't eat it, but... this is."

"Live Sign!"

Traditional capture involves continuous pursuit until the opponent's pieces are captured, while live capture emphasizes transforming the situation through local confrontation.

A special technique that uses flexible means to create local or global advantages when the opponent's pieces are at a disadvantage. Its core lies in exploiting the weaknesses of the opponent's chess formation and achieving seemingly impossible counterattacks through sophisticated calculations.

This is what Yi Zheng is like now.

Cheda ran down desperately, and Yi Zheng really couldn't eat the opponent's big dragon.

But what's the cost?

Ninety-seventh move, Black chess, pull!

Yi Zheng let go of Che Da's big dragon, but then he captured Che Da's original chess piece in the lower right corner.

The two sides formed a transformation. Yi Zheng not only came back to life and directly killed both white pieces in the lower right corner, but also almost took the entire chessboard in the upper right corner into his pocket.

Looking at this horrific scene, Mr. Ke couldn't help but shook his head: "How did you come up with that? It's not like you can't calculate the result. You can just admit defeat in advance. Why bother to come up with that?"

"It's too tragic! I can't bear to watch it. Wouldn't it be even more shameful to admit defeat now? Sacrificing yourself for someone else's success? You're truly dedicated, Ghost King Da." Old Ke estimated that the gap on the board was at least forty or fifty points.

To put it bluntly, the situation was not so difficult when Zhuge Liang took over the Kingdom of Shu.

Mr. Ke’s advice is to surrender quickly, at least the chess record is still clean now.

But Cheda is obviously getting angry now. He has already lost so badly. He wants to go all in and fight!
Cheda obviously wanted to swallow up the entire lower left corner in a desperate attempt.

In fact, Yi Zheng now only needs to return to the top and simply surround the air. The gap between the two sides is so big that Che Da's life-threatening move has become meaningless.

But Yi Zheng chose to use offense as defense to defeat the enemy and defend the border!
Steam!
It seems that the black dragon formed by Yi Zheng in the lower left corner has only one eye, but Che Da's white chess was also strangled and only one eye was left.

The two people directly formed a double-active situation.

This also means that even the number of points in the lower left corner of Cheda was completely destroyed by Yi Zheng.

The original big transformation lost the entire lower right corner and the forty points gained by forming a huge formation of black pieces above, and in the end only one eye was left!

Che Da did not give up and continued to click on the open space in the upper right corner of Yi Zheng in an attempt to disrupt the situation, but in the eyes of Mr. Ke, this was already unreasonable.

Everyone in the laboratory had already arrived at the competition venue. From the first few dozen moves, those who knew a little bit knew that the game was over.

It’s just that sometimes a game of chess seems over, but you still have to wait more than a hundred moves before you admit defeat.

After Che Da confirmed that he had absolutely no chance of breaking the space in the upper right corner, he lay dejectedly on the chair and listened to the countdown of the chess clock.

"Eight, seven, six..."

When the time was about to end, Cheda stopped the timer and chose to give up.

"Such a familiar scene, as if I've been back to eight years ago..."

Che Da felt that the figure of Yi Zheng sitting opposite him seemed to overlap with a figure deep in his memory that he did not want to face at this moment.

The nightmare did not disappear with my escape, but was buried in the deepest part of my heart.

"Really? That was all garbage time after that. You wasted an entire hour. Otherwise, you could have just collected the award and left."

Old Ke looked at Che Da with a dazed look in his eyes and said speechlessly that since the live expedition, the rest of the time has basically been garbage time, a complete waste of time until now.

"Heroes truly emerge from youth! I knew you would win this competition! A desperate struggle will surely reap rewards!
Congratulations to Yi Zheng on winning the National Amateur Championship! We'll have an awards ceremony later, and probably a post-match interview. We'll treat you all to a nice meal tonight."

Bai Hua from the Huangshan Go Association smiled and patted Yi Zheng and gave him high praise, saying that he had been optimistic about him from the beginning.

Yi Zheng just nodded when he heard such polite words. He could guess that if Che Da won, the other party's rhetoric would probably not change, it would just be a different person.

However, Yi Zheng declined the invitation outright: "Excuse me, Chairman Bai, but we'll probably have to fly out right after we receive our award. We also have to attend the professional ranking tournament tomorrow. We probably won't have time for interviews or meals."

If I fly back now, I can have a good rest before the official competition tomorrow, but if I have another meal, I probably won’t even have time to rest.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Songxing, the Secretary-General of the Chinese Go Association, said curiously, "Why are you still participating in the Go Professional Ranking Tournament? Aren't you already a professional?"
