"This playing style...as expected..."

Nie Xiangxiang noticed that GG's playing style, although still somewhat immature and imperfect, was very similar to that of the top player in her world, as if they were from the same lineage.

Therefore, Nie Xiangxiang has basically confirmed that GG's initial three-star center layout was from that top player in her world.

This is also why Nie Xiangxiang was so shocked.

In her awe, the virtual chessboard before Nie Xiangxiang seemed to become real.

Looking up, Nie Xiangxiang saw three figures, one sitting and two standing, on the side of the chessboard where the black pieces were played.

The two standing figures were clearly defined and towering, each exuding an aura of unparalleled mastery of chess.

Nie Xiangxiang knew that one of the two figures was a top-tier Go player named Tengen Dozai, and the other was the top-tier Go player who played the three-star Tengen opening.

The figures of these two top chess players stood like shadows behind the figure who was sitting upright with a chess piece in hand, whose shape and appearance were not clearly visible.

Nie Xiangxiang knew that the figure sitting upright with a chess piece in hand was GG.

Instinctively, Nie Xiangxiang looked toward the figure sitting upright with a chess piece in hand, trying hard to see GG's true appearance.

Nie Xiangxiang's efforts seemed to have paid off, and finally, a faint outline could be seen in the figure sitting upright with a chess piece in hand.

The moment she saw that vague outline, Nie Xiangxiang felt a powerful chill sweep over her entire body, causing her to tremble, shudder, and feel fear.

Because the outline that Nie Xiangxiang saw did not resemble a human, but rather a monster, a Go monster that combined the Go principles of two top players and disguised itself as a human.

At that moment, she couldn't help but murmur softly, "Is this guy a monster?"

Nearby, Lu Li heard Nie Xiangxiang's murmured words.

Although he didn't hear it clearly, Lu Li did catch the words "chess style".

The word "chess style" gave Lu Li a sudden jolt.

Because Black's playing style so far has remained conservative, Lu Li subconsciously overlooked Black's playing style.

After being enlightened, Lu Li couldn't help but look at the virtual chessboard, at the black pieces on it, and carefully felt the playing style that GG was showing.

Then, as if he had discovered something, Lu Li's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty, and he said, "It's different. GG's playing style is different from before?"

"What on earth is going on? Does this mean the person playing chess is doomed?!"

The game of chess continues.

Meanwhile, the situation on the chessboard was changing imperceptibly.

Now it was Yoshitaka Waya's turn to make his move.

Yoshitaka Waya did not hesitate and planned to make his move immediately.

Just as He Gu Yigao was about to make a move, he seemed to notice something, and suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on the chessboard.

Then, Yoshitaka Wagaya suddenly stood up, looking at the board in disbelief, muttering, "How could this be? Black's disadvantage has been wiped out?"

As he spoke, Yoshitaka Wagaya's eyes darted rapidly across the board, scanning each black stone as he murmured, "When?"

"When exactly did Black begin to erase their disadvantage?!"

However, after inspecting the area, Yoshitaka Wagaya found nothing.

This result caused Yoshitaka Waya to break out in a cold sweat instantly, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable pressure coming down on him.

After trying to calm himself down, Yoshitaka Wagaya's eyes lit up, filled with fighting spirit. Looking at the game in front of him, he said to himself with some excitement, "This is what makes it interesting."

"Come on, GG, let's have a good fight!"

At that moment, the chess game before him seemed to become real in Yoshitaka Waya's eyes.

Without further hesitation, Yoshitaka Wagaya suddenly reached out, picked up a white chess piece, and with a dazzling flash, dropped it onto the chessboard.

Snapped!

......

Chapter 82 Turning your hand becomes clouds, turning your hands becomes rain

Among those watching the game, amateur players like Ada and Aaron couldn't match Yoshitaka Waya, a student at the academy, in their grasp of the situation.

Therefore, they were unaware that GG had unknowingly erased their disadvantage.

Their view of the situation remains that GG is at a clear disadvantage.

However, they were all able to understand Yoshitaka Wagaya's move.

Because of Yoshitaka Tani's move, he made no attempt to conceal his intention to attack.

Just like a cheetah that has been lying in wait for its prey, it finally finds the right moment, leaps out from its hiding place, and tries to bite its prey to death.

Even through the screen, Ada, Aaron, and the others could feel the undisguised killing intent in Yoshitaka's move.

They all knew that the real battle... had begun.

At the same time, they were also looking forward to how GG would respond to Gu Yigao's declaration of war.

Will we face the challenge head-on and engage in fierce battles, or will we remain steadfast on our high ground and build fortresses as before?

Nie Xiangxiang was different from the others; she had long since lost interest in how the game would unfold and in the final outcome.

From the moment Nie Xiangxiang saw Black erase its disadvantage without White noticing, she already knew the outcome of the game.

After all, the chess principles that GG is currently applying come from that top chess player.

What that top chess player excels at most is that subtle and pervasive control over the entire game.

In her own world, Nie Xiangxiang was fortunate enough to witness firsthand the astonishing three-star tengen move played by that top chess player.

Therefore, Nie Xiangxiang would know how terrifying that kind of subtle and pervasive control over the whole situation can be.

If Nie Xiangxiang had to describe it in words, it would be that she was "able to turn the tide and manipulate the game of chess at will."

In an interview, Go master Miki Soji commented on that top player, saying, "When playing against him, if the game takes an unexpected turn, you've already stepped one foot into defeat..."

Upon hearing this, the reporter was intrigued and asked, "What about the other half of the foot?"

Upon hearing this question, Miki Soji responded, "The other half depends on yourself, on when you're willing to concede..."

This gives you an idea of ​​how terrifying the chess principles from that top player must be.

The game has undergone a change that Tani Yoshitaka was unaware of, which means...

At this moment, Chen Anxia was still in a state of enlightenment regarding chess, with flashes of inspiration constantly emerging in his mind.

These flashes of inspiration are the result of Chen Anxia's current understanding of chess principles.

Furthermore, at the very moment these brilliant insights into chess occurred, Chen Anxia could see the corresponding points of light illuminate on the chessboard.

These points of light are the chess moves manifested by the spiritual light of chess principles.

What Chen Anxia had to do was to find the brightest spot among these spots of light.

For Chen Anxia, ​​the process of finding the light spots was like composing a beautiful piece of music; finding each light spot was like composing a melodious note.

Right now, Chen Anxia has also found the brightest spot of light.

Without hesitation, Chen Anxia picked up a black piece and placed it on the brightest spot.

At the same moment, the beautiful notes formed from the light seemed to truly resonate in Chen Anxia's ears, making him unable to resist becoming intoxicated by them.

After Chen Anxia made his move, everyone watching the game except for Huang Yuetian, Yu Zhengyan, and Nie Xiangxiang, including Lu Li, who was already a professional first dan, was stunned when they saw Chen Anxia's move.

Yoshitaka Wagaya was no exception. His previously high fighting spirit froze after seeing Chen Anxia's move, and he muttered to himself, "This move is neither the best nor the worst..."

Then, Yoshitaka Wagaya frowned and said in a deep voice, "GG, is this the move you're planning to use to respond to my declaration of war?"

"Or is there some hidden secret behind this move?"

As he spoke, Yoshitaka Wagaya entered his first long period of contemplation since the start of the game.

America.

Ada stared blankly at GG's move, muttering, "Was GG's move a sloppy one?"

A bad move is not the same as a bad move or a terrible move. It looks almost the same as a normal move, but it is actually a mistake and an unwise move.

Common mistakes are frequently made by amateur players, so if amateur players want to improve their skills, they must overcome these mistakes.

In Ada's opinion, GG should also be an amateur player, which is why he thought of the uncommon moves.

South Korea.

When Yu Zhengyan's disciple looked at GG's move, the first thing that came to mind was the word "crude move".

However, upon closer inspection, Yu Zhengyan's disciples discovered that this move was different from the common moves.

Because the characteristic of unorthodox moves is that they may seem to benefit one's own side, but in reality, they are more advantageous to the opponent.

GG's move was different from the usual one; it was neither advantageous to himself nor to the opponent. If one had to describe it in words, it would be something like 'ordinary' or 'mediocre'.

However, Yu Zhengyan's disciple was unsure whether there was a hidden meaning in GG's move that he hadn't noticed, so he wanted to ask his teacher.

It was only then that Yu Zhengyan's students realized that their teacher, Yu Zhengyan, a professional 7-dan Go player, was watching the game on the screen...

No, more accurately, looking at GG's move, his face actually showed...

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhengyan's disciple was stunned. He then looked at GG's move again and murmured, "Teacher actually felt...trembling because of this move?"

Kyushu.

A similar scene is playing out.

At this moment, Lu Li felt that he was having an illusion.

Lu Li actually felt that he saw a look of fear on his teacher's face.

This was a very unreal feeling, which is why Lu Li felt like he was having an illusion.

Just as Lu Li was somewhat dazed, he heard Huang Yuetian take a deep breath and say in a solemn tone, "Such terrifying principles of chess actually exist in this world..."

"This is definitely not a principle that already exists in the history of Go..."

Upon hearing Huang Yuetian's words, before Lu Li could react, he felt an overwhelming force of chess-playing energy suddenly surge over him, making him feel oppressed and suffocated.

Furthermore, within this aura of chess, Lu Li also sensed the astonishing fighting spirit emanating from Huang Yuetian.

Lu Li knew that his teacher, Huang Yuetian, the top chess player who stood at the pinnacle of chess, had rekindled the passion that had long been extinguished.
