At the Xuanwu Seniors Go Club.
A group of middle-aged and elderly people were getting impatient.
"He's lagging too far behind!"
"Yeah, what's the use of his time?"
"He'd rather use his time to exchange for some points. He's only 25 or 26 points behind and is already in the latter half of the game. Even if a deity were to descend, he wouldn't be able to turn the tables!"
"Agreed."
"This is too difficult to play!"
...
Back at home.
His father was panicking. "What should we do? What should we do? "
His mother said loudly, "Aiyo, sit down quietly for a while! Hurry up and watch! "
His father said, "How can I sit still? I've already lost by so much!"
...
At Old Rao's house.
Yang Shu said anxiously, "Senior Bro, why aren't you anxious!"
Rao Aimin glanced at the television. "Oh him, he's just trying to be mysterious."
Chenchen asked, "Aunt, can Zhang Ye win?"
"What can he possibly win?" Rao Aimin curled her lips. Even though that was what she said, Old Rao still kept her eyes glued to the screen without blinking.
...
The game had reached its most critical juncture!
The board situation had also reached its most critical juncture!
The people of China Qiyuan were all waiting to see what Zhang Ye was going to do. Some of them were clutching their thumping hearts as they couldn't bear to watch any longer!
A professional 5th dan female Go player covered her eyes. "I'm not watching anymore!"
Next to him, a young professional 6th dan Go player also turned around and faced his back to the screen. It seemed like this was the only way he could relieve his nervousness, but it did not seem to have any effect at all. He even covered his ears with two fingers, afraid that he would hear or see Zhang Ye suddenly concede defeat from above!
"Come on!"
"Professor Zhang, you can do it!"
"Come on!"
"God bless us! God bless us! "
"Heavens, please let us win! I beg of you! "
The people of the Qiyuan were all shouting. This might be their final cry!
At this moment, be it the Americans, the Qiyuan's people, or the television viewers, no one could see that Zhang Ye had the slightest chance of winning. At this moment, no one knew that they were about to witness a sensational game of Go!
On the live broadcast.
Zhang Ye smiled and made his move. A white stone went in. It was the small corner that Peter had taken from the back of the Magic Sword Joseki!
This move was too shocking!
Xiang Rong was so shocked that he froze!
Xiang Rong 9-dan said, "What?"
Chen Ying shouted, "Oh my god, what is Professor Zhang trying to do?"
Yu Yingyi no longer dared to speak. She just stared blankly at the screen!
Chen Ying found it unbelievable. She could not understand Zhang Ye's intentions at all. "This corner is the battlefield from before. Professor Zhang has clearly lost it. Right now, the corner has basically been surrounded by Peter's black stones, and there aren't many of Professor Zhang's white stones that are still alive! But we can see that Professor Zhang's white stone has once again charged in. What is he doing? Courting death? Child delivery? He made a mistake! "
A mistake!
Everyone's faces were pale!
They were already so far behind, and now they made a mistake?
Peter probably did not expect that Zhang Ye would actually dare to play his stone. Perhaps because there was not much time left, Peter placed its stone in the next moment!
Peter went for the kill from below!
Zhang Ye took over!
Peter called for eating!
Zhang Ye refused to let go!
Peter had combined again!
Chen Ying was already in despair. "The white stones are sinking deeper and deeper, and Professor Zhang is falling behind even further. This mistake is really fatal. It's like adding insult to injury!"
Wu Changhe cursed, "What are you doing!"
Li Qinqin said in surprise, "This isn't Little Zhang's level!"
Xu Han said, "What is he doing? Why is he still playing in this corner? "
Hu Liang shouted, "The white stones here are basically all dead! How can he still play? "
At this moment, Peter's timer finally ran out. There wasn't even a second left!
Zhang Ye raised his hand and stopped!
Peter's countdown began!
In a match like this, the end of the regular time did not mean that the game had been lost. Instead, it would enter into a "rush" mode. This meant that Peter would have to play every move within a minute. Otherwise, if it exceeded the time limit and the three time limits set by the rules, the referee would automatically rule that Peter had lost!
50 seconds.
30 seconds.
10 seconds.
Peter hastily added.
Zhang Ye made a move!
Chen Ying said loudly, "Why is he still playing?"
Yu Yingyi said in pain, "He's just giving away his stones!"
This was Peter's territory. Although it did not take away all of Zhang Ye's white stones, it was more or less enough. Zhang Ye was still attacking this area. The more he played, the more stones he would get. Even a layman like Yu Yingyi could understand this logic, so why couldn't Zhang Ye see it?
The television viewers were devastated!
"It's over!"
"It's all over this time!"
"Teacher Zhang has been knocked unconscious!"
"Damn, isn't this almost a 40-point difference?"
Zhang Ye did not seem to notice it. After thinking for five minutes, he made his move. He still had time, a lot of time, so he could play with ease.
Peter made a move when there were only three seconds left in the countdown!
The Americans smiled and looked at each other!
The two international referees were rolling their eyes!
But a second later, a miracle happened!
Without any warning or mental preparation, Zhang Ye suddenly counterattacked. The white stone was placed in a position that no one expected!
In an instant, the atmosphere froze!
Peter was stunned!
The countdown was rapidly decreasing!
Peter could only make its move!
Zhang Ye smiled and gently clicked the mouse — call for a draw!
This time, a lot of people's expressions changed!
Xiang Rong said hoarsely, "Forced entry!"
Chen Ying looked like she had seen a ghost!
The Qiyuan's people and the Go players watching TV were also dumbfounded!
Forced entry!
This was too crazy!
This was too domineering!
So it turned out that Zhang Ye's series of "stupid moves" were all to kill one of Peter's black stones. To them, this was something that only a madman would do! Because the price was too high! Because if they were not careful, they would be consigned to eternal damnation! They would die without a burial!
Peter had no choice but to play!
Zhang Ye raised his stone!
Peter made a move!
Zhang Ye played from the outside!
Peter was taken aback and hurriedly retreated!
Then, the most crucial word was uttered!
Zhang Ye smiled and clicked the mouse again, calling for a draw. The white stones that had been nearly killed by Peter in the Magic Sword Joseki were now being used by Zhang Ye to catch Peter off guard!
The Americans were dumbfounded!
Chen Ying was dumbfounded!
At this moment, everyone watching the match was dumbfounded!
Zhang Ye raised another stone. Logically speaking, this was an acceptable loss since Peter was leading by too much, so it didn't matter if it was a loss!
But not this time!
But this stone was really different!
When Zhang Ye raised the second black stone, even the international referee was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped. He stared at Zhang Ye like he had seen a god!
Hu Liang shouted, "Holy shit!"
Xu Han shouted, "Holy shit!"
Wu Changhe was stunned!
Dan Donghe looked aghast!
At this moment, they all saw an unbelievable scene!
It came back to life!
Zhang Ye's dead stones in the corner had all come back to life!
Countless people stared blankly at the Go board. No one could believe their eyes!
Giving away stones?
Courting death?
Forced entry!
The dead stones came back to life!
This … this was practically a miracle!
This … this was practically magic!
They were all shocked by Zhang Ye's unconventional play style!
Even many of the top professional players were witnessing this for the first time. Could it even be played like this? Could Go be played like this?!
