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

Chapter 115: Confidence [Additional update for China's first post-01 world champion]

"Don't you want to give up a piece? He miscalculated."

Seeing that Xuan Duoduo chose to block, Yi Zheng instantly realized that the other party had miscalculated.

If Xuanyunduo chooses to sacrifice a piece at this time, he can also keep a tail alive below, but after getting the first move, he can make the first move on the right.

Don't underestimate the value of a move. Xuanyuduo's first move can greatly increase his potential from the right side, while Yi Zheng only ate half of the dragon and was still at a disadvantage.

This exchange between the two undoubtedly made Xuanyunduo a great bargain!

"Xu's local calculation ability is very strong, but his overall view is not good enough... No, he can only reach the overall view of Mr. Ke. He would sacrifice pieces to make a big switch with you at the slightest provocation.

Sometimes I don’t know whether he’s scary because of his strong sense of the overall situation or because of his strong gambling nature.”

Thinking of this, Yi Zheng couldn't help but shook his head, but without any hesitation, he ate it directly!

Seeing this, Xuanyunduo seemed to realize something, his expression instantly wrinkled, and he began to pull his hair with both hands.

After Yi Zheng stopped eating, Xuanyunduo grew taller. Yi Zheng pressed down again, and after just a few steps, the situation was completely different!

"I can't continue to expand my strengths."

Although Xuanyunduo did not seize the previous opportunity, as a professional sixth-dan, he was very keenly aware that his situation was becoming unfavorable.

Because at this time, Yi Zheng could still capture half of the dragon below, and because of a few more exchanges, Yi Zheng was able to capture nearly twenty more points on the left.

There is also a breakpoint in the central area.

Xuanyunduo calculated several possible variations: "If that's the case, Yi Zheng will definitely use Zhigu to decide the outcome. I'm not good at killing Baron."

The so-called "control of isolated pieces" is just the literal meaning of these two words. It means to control isolated pieces and use flexible strategies to help the originally weak pieces escape from the predicament of being attacked, or even turn them into the initiative.

The biggest goal is to keep the lone piece alive safely from the opponent's encirclement and avoid being annihilated by the opponent.

However, by dealing with isolated pieces, you can also contain your opponent's attacks, or even take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack or seize other advantages. If you cannot completely activate them, you can sacrifice pieces to convert them, sacrificing local pieces in exchange for global advantages.

This is the core technique of switching between offense and defense in Go, requiring players to find opportunities amidst passivity and transform crises into opportunities. Experts often use precise calculations and creative thinking to transform seemingly dangerous isolated pieces into powerful tools to contain their opponents.

But different chess players will make different choices when faced with the same situation because of their strengths, weaknesses and personalities.

For example, Qi Ling, one of the Three Musketeers, would definitely let the opponent kill the lone dragon, and then he would chase and kill the dragon, because he was very confident in his killing power.

He was even willing to put the opponent's big dragon into his own empty space, risking being cleared by the opponent to kill the dragon.

But Xuanyuduo is different. He has always played his moves fairly and calmly, without taking any risks.

"It's better not to bet on Baron."

Manyu couldn't help but shook his head. He really didn't want to exchange his own dragon for the opponent's dragon, especially since there was an 80% chance that half of his dragon would die. But it would be bad if he couldn't kill the opponent's dragon.

Thinking of this, Xuanyunduo took action to treat the isolated piece on the left.

Xuanyunduo is certainly not simply a coward. He wants to create a flaw for the white chess piece on Yi Zheng's left by means of eliminating the isolated chess piece, and keep an eye on it at all times so that he can kill the big dragon in the center of the white chess piece.

Xuanyunduo: Although I am not good at killing dragons, I still have to kill them when I have the chance.

Seeing many people turning active into passive moves, Yi Zheng responded very simply and continued to grow.

In the research room on the other side, seeing the white chess piece grow out, Mr. Ke blurted out without any hesitation: "Hit!"

Yun Linglei fanned himself and sighed, "Alas, Erduo always seems a little soft at crucial moments, and his threats to others aren't strong enough. Now, after White's move, the situation has completely changed."

This kind of playing style and way of thinking can easily limit Xuanyunduo to the point where, although he can become a top chess player, he may fall into the embarrassing situation of being a champion.

"But Yi Zheng is completely different... He's too greedy!"

Yun Linglei looked at Yi Zheng's move and couldn't help but grumble. "Who did you learn this from? He's always demanding too much! He's not going to let go until he's squeezed Erduo dry."

Because after making many moves, Yi Zheng still did not express his opinion when facing the black piece that the opponent had previously used to remove the isolated piece. Instead, he went directly to the bottom to search for the root and directly destroyed the opponent's dragon's eye position.

However, Yun Linglei had to admit that although this move was greedy, it indirectly supported the big dragon in the center.

If Erduo doesn't come up with some tricks, the opponent will completely turn the tables on him.

Move 75, Black chess, fly!

Seeing this step, the feeling of the two games is completely different.

Xuanyunduo: "In this way, I will block Yi Zheng's charge, and then I can retreat directly after the opponent breaks through.

Although he gave him the piece above, the white piece above him was still not alive, and the big white dragon in the center was not settled either. Yi Zheng still needed to find a way.

In this case, I should still have a chance!"

But on the other side, Yi Zheng looked bitter after seeing this scene, because in his opinion, Xuanyunduo must have made a mistake in the calculation?
"If I rush to block him, can't I just use my power to connect? If I connect the pieces, won't his dragon be dead?"

After seeing this changing chart, Yi Zheng felt a little puzzled.

Could it be that Xuanyunduo miscalculated again?

It shouldn't be.

Is there some trap?

Yi Zheng finally made his move after he had used up all his reserved time.

"Not all chess players are some grown-up old ghost. I want to be confident!"

After seeing Yi Zheng rushing forward, Xuanyunduo realized after a long period of thinking that he had miscalculated.

"If it's blocked... the dragon will die immediately."

Xuanyunduo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Just now, a miscalculated diagram almost led to a complete tragedy.

“Although he didn’t die, the exchange between the two sides was undoubtedly a loss.

No matter how I look at it, it seems that A Zheng’s strength is no worse than Er Duo’s. What’s going on?

What the hell? I haven't played Go with him in just six months. He wasn't like this when he played online Go with me before he got promoted.

Miao Jun looked at the white chess piece on the TV suction cup and felt completely puzzled?

This is wrong!

A Zheng, you have become such a stranger!

But it always feels more exciting!
PS: There should be two more
