Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 73

......

Amidst the alternating sounds of pieces being placed and machinery clicking, the game entered the middle stage.

By this point, both Chen Anxia and Fukui Yuta were able to see the current situation clearly.

They knew that, in the current situation, White had a significant advantage.

This means that as long as Yuta Fukui can maintain this advantage, he has essentially secured the victory.

Yuta Fukui himself was well aware of this.

However, Fukui Yuta's principles of Go determined that he would not stop there.

Attack, attack, and keep attacking—this is the core of Yuta Fukui's chess philosophy, and it is also the fast-paced chess style that Yuta Fukui excels at.

After the game entered the middle stage, Fukui Yuta's white stones had fully revealed their ferocity.

In Chen Anxia's eyes, every white piece that Fukui Yuta placed transformed into a sharp weapon, its cold gleam sending a chill down Chen Anxia's spine.

However, Chen Anxia is currently immersed in the principles of Tengen Dozai's chess, and his mind is as steady as a rock. Even when he is at a disadvantage, even when facing endless sharpness and invasion from mountains of knives and seas of blades, he remains unmoved.

In Chen Anxia's hands, each black piece transformed into a black foundation stone, constructing a high wall of chess principles that belonged to Chen Anxia.

This is a clash between spear and shield.

Whether Fukui Yuta's spear is sharper or Chen Anxia's shield is stronger... the answer remains shrouded in mystery.

On the other side, at the moment when Fukui Yuta unleashed his Go-do aura, Shigeharu, who was closer, seemed to sense it and involuntarily looked away from the game and toward the direction from which the aura was coming.

Looking over, Kiyoharu saw Fukui Yuta completely absorbed and muttered, "That chubby kid has suddenly unleashed the spirit of Go. Is it an evenly matched contest? Or is he locked in a fierce battle?"

As she spoke, She Qingchun looked at Chen Anxia's back, which was as straight and steady as a pine tree.

Upon seeing this, She Qingchun frowned slightly. "This back view doesn't seem to belong to Yiliu..."

"Who is he? Could he be that fox brat number 1010?"

As she spoke, She Qingchun seemed to have thought of something, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she murmured in a low voice, "Or is he... Chen Anxia, ​​whom Yiliu has been pursuing?"

As she pondered this, She Qingchun's thoughts became increasingly chaotic.

But soon, She Qingchun suppressed his chaotic thoughts and focused his attention back on the game of chess in front of him.

As for the answer, Shigeharu plans to ask Fukui Yuta after the competition ends.

Meanwhile, Iwashima's match was also underway.

Not only Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Ken Yamazuka, but Seiji Ogata was also among the crowd, watching the match between Iwashima and Ken.

However, due to their positions, they did not notice each other.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that their attention was focused on Iwashima's game at that moment.

As the match between Iwashima and Kenjiro continued, Shintaro Ichiyanagi, Kenjiro Yamazuka, and Seiji Ogata all seemed to have noticed something, and their expressions gradually changed.

However, they all seemed somewhat uncertain, their brows sometimes relaxing and sometimes furrowing.

If Go players knew about this situation, they would probably be very surprised, or even find it hard to believe.

It's worth noting that Shintaro Ichiyanagi, Ken Yamazuka, and Seiji Ogata are all top-tier Go players.

It's simply unbelievable that someone like them couldn't determine the moves of the young Iwashima man.

Under these circumstances, Iwashima's game gradually entered the middle stage of the game.

It was only at this moment that Kenjiro Yamato spoke with a serious expression, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that such a game of Go exists."

Beside him, Shintaro Ichiyanagi also spoke with a serious expression, "Every move is placed on the point with the highest winning probability, running with mechanical precision..."

"This kind of chess game is simply not something a human could play!"

Not only Kenjiro Yamatozuka and Shintaro Ichiyanagi, but also Seiji Ogata noticed this.

Ogata Seiji's usually cold and stern face had become serious, and he frequently reached up to adjust the frame of his glasses, revealing his inner turmoil.

Ogata Seiji already knew that Iwashima was not the child his teacher had mentioned.

The real purpose of that previous move was not to develop towards the center.

The reason why I didn't make that move at the points I had anticipated was simply because I wasn't aiming for a brilliant move, but rather for the highest possible winning probability.

Just like in this game of Go, Iwashima didn't specifically develop towards the center, but instead kept landing on the edges and corners, constantly landing on the points with the highest winning probability.

Ogata Seiji only realized this point with the highest winning probability after several moves of black and white.

"Is this kind of chess game truly something that humans can possess?"

Ogata Seiji couldn't help but utter a similar murmur.

At this moment, Iwashima, who was smiling maliciously like a fox, was unaware that he had attracted the attention of three top-tier Go players.

Of course, even if Iwashima knew, he wouldn't care; in fact, he might be even more excited...

Aside from Shintaro Ichiyanagi, Kenji Yamazuka, and Seiji Ogata, no one else knew about Iwashima's chess moves.

The match is still going on.

Before they knew it, the game between Chen Anxia and Fukui Yuta had entered the late middle game.

At this moment, Fukui Yuta's breathing gradually became heavy, and cold sweat had already seeped onto his face without him realizing it.

However, Fukui Yuta himself did not notice, or rather, did not pay attention to, but instead stared intently at the game, trying to find some flaws in Chen Anxia's moves.

No matter how hard Fukui Yuta tried, he couldn't find any flaws in Chen Anxia's moves in the game.

Chen Anxia's moves were so solid that Fukui Yuta felt as if he were facing an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron, and the pressure on Fukui Yuta kept increasing.

This ever-increasing pressure turned into a heavy shackle, so heavy that Fukui Yuta even felt it was difficult to make a move in the game.

However, Yuta Fukui knew that White still held the advantage in the current game.

Although it cannot compare to the advantage gained when the game just started, it still has an advantage of four or five points.

Now, the game is about to enter its final endgame. As long as I can stay calm, victory will still be mine.

Thinking it over, Fukui Yuta struggled to lift his heavy right hand, picked up a white Go stone, and slammed it heavily onto the Go board.

The game of chess continues.

Finally, with White still holding a four- or five-point advantage, the game entered the endgame.

Everything is unfolding exactly as Yuta Fukui envisioned...

Snapped!

despair!

After the sounds of pieces being placed and machines clicking alternated, a weak voice rang out.

"I...lost..."

......

Chapter 109 Failure, Chen Anxia's Figure! (Request for Recommendation Votes)

Hearing the sound of surrender coming from beside him, and looking at the powerless and dejected Fukui Yuta on the other side, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and said softly, "You are very strong. Thank you for letting me enjoy a match that was evenly matched."

As they were talking, Chen Anxia gestured for the staff to come over and assess the outcome of the match.

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Fukui Yuta couldn't help but look up at Chen Anxia.

Fukui Yuta could see Chen Anxia's sincerity and knew that Chen Anxia meant what he said.

However, Yuta Fukui knew that this so-called evenly matched situation was based on the fact that Chen Anxia had wasted a great advantage by giving instructions in the initial game.

If Chen Anxia had applied his impenetrable chess principles from the very beginning, would this game still have been evenly matched?

Yuta Fukui didn't want to think about it, because he didn't want to face the seemingly impenetrable principles of Go again.

That pressure, that heaviness, that powerlessness, even...despair, made Yuta Fukui unwilling to even recall it.

However, Yuta Fukui already knew the answer.

However, after the game ended, the pressure and heaviness that Fukui Yuta had been under gradually dissipated, giving him an indescribable sense of relief.

This sense of relief brought a smile to Yuta Fukui's face.

Although he did not achieve his goal of winning the championship, he did not even make it into the top 100 before his efforts came to nothing.

However, being able to play against a strong player like Chen Anxia and personally experience the terrifying chess principles emanating from him is already enough.

Now that I think about it, I realize that Chen Anxia's chess theory is like a natural counter to my own, leaving my own chess theory powerful but useless.

At the same time, through Chen Anxia's chess theory, Fukui Yuta also saw the flaws and weaknesses in his own chess theory.

Yuta Fukui felt that as long as he went back to consolidate, strengthen, and digest what he had learned from the game, his understanding of Go and his Go skills would reach a new level.

Thinking this, Fukui Yuta's signature憨厚 smile reappeared on his face as he looked at Chen Anxia and softly replied, "You are stronger, and I am happy to play against you."

"But to be honest, I don't want to play against you again."

Chen Anxia was taken aback by Fukui Yuta's words, then chuckled and said nothing more.

After registering his victory, Chen Anxia got up and left, intending to find a place to properly process what he had learned from the game.

This gain is the light of that flaw.

Chen Anxia discovered that after he was able to see the light of flaws, he had a deeper understanding of the principles of Go from Tengen Dozai, the principles of Go from Wu Qingyuan, and even the principles of Go in the universe.

In the game just now, Chen Anxia basically digested his understanding of Tengen Dosai's principles of Go by applying them.

Now, Chen Anxia needs to properly digest his understanding of Wu Qingyuan's chess principles and the principles of chess in the universe.

Only after seeing Chen Anxia leave did Fukui Yuta suddenly realize that he hadn't asked Chen Anxia's name.

Although he felt regretful about this, Fukui Yuta knew that in the near future, Chen Anxia's name would definitely spread throughout the Go world.

When that time comes, I will naturally know Chen Anxia's name.

Because Fukui Yuta excels at fast chess, even though his playing speed slowed down later due to Chen Anxia's chess principles, he was still faster than most people.

Therefore, when Chen Anxia and Fukui Yuta finished their game, most of the games on the field were still not over.

This includes the games played by Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Yuko Miki, and others.

As for Hikaru Shindo's game, it ended around the same time as Anxia Chen's game.
