After seeing the new principles of Go within Chen Anxia's strategy during that game, Miki Soji went into seclusion.
In the secluded and solemn Go room, Miki Soji was constantly striving to touch upon the vague and hazy path of Go principles.
As a top-tier Go player, Miki Soji's efforts have certainly yielded some results.
However, after achieving certain results, Miki Sōji encountered a bottleneck.
This bottleneck was like a fierce tiger blocking the way; no matter how hard Miki Sōji tried, he couldn't break through it.
This made Miki Soji realize that further seclusion was useless, so he chose to leave seclusion.
After emerging from seclusion, Miki Soji learned about the Truth Bureau from his daughter, Miki Yuko.
Perhaps because of the results of his seclusion, Miki Soji had a gut feeling when he first saw the Truth Bureau.
This intuition tells Miki Soji that the white pieces are not dead and still have a glimmer of hope.
However, no matter how hard Miki Soji tried, he could not find this glimmer of hope.
Then, Miki Soji saw Chen Anxia's lone move.
The moment he saw it, Miki Soji was certain that this lone move came from that vague and hazy path of chess principles.
At the same time, Miki Soji also knew that this lone move was very likely made by the boy named Chen Anxia.
This deeply shocked Miki Soji.
Immediately afterwards, Miki Soji went into seclusion again to study the underlying principles of chess behind Chen Anxia's lone move.
When Miki Soji emerged from seclusion again, a similar scene unfolded once more.
This time, Miki Soji learned about the Three Calamities of the Ages from Miki Yuko.
Inside the Go room, Yuko Miki was reviewing the ancient triple ko game under the watchful eyes of Aoshi Miki.
During Yuko Miki's debriefing, Soji Miki's face frequently showed shock and amazement.
Clearly, in this ancient tribulations, both Fujiwara no Sai's near-perfect Shusaku-ryu and Tengen Dosai's ultimate stability deeply touched Miki Soji's heartstrings, leaving him in awe.
Before she knew it, Yuko Miki's debriefing was over.
After the review was over, Yuko Miki looked at the game that had been reviewed more than once, her expression still showing shock. She said, "The game ends here. It's a draw with no winner."
To Miki Yuko's utter surprise, the moment she finished speaking, she heard her father's voice say, "No, that's not right. This is not a draw."
"In this game, White has a chance to break the deadlock..."
Miki Soji's words jolted Miki Yuko, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
Although Miki Yuko was willing to believe her father's words.
However, Yuko Miki also knew that the game in front of her was considered a draw by Michiya Tengen.
In such a game, is there really any hope of breaking the deadlock that even the Heavenly Origin Path cannot find?
Watching Miki Soji sink into his own world and begin searching for a way out of the predicament, Miki Yuko left the Go room with confusion and bewilderment.
This confusion and bewilderment did not fade with time; instead, it grew stronger.
Ultimately, driven by this confusion and bewilderment, Yuko Miki logged onto a professional Go website and posted a comment under the game record.
"My father told me that this triple ko was not a draw with no winner; in this game, White had a chance to break the deadlock..."
Meanwhile, in the world of Hikaru no Go.
After logging into the online Go website, Chen Anxia selected an opponent.
Chen Anxia was quickly matched with her opponent.
Looking at his opponent's online name, Chen Anxia muttered to himself, "Zelda, why does this name seem so familiar..."
......
Chapter 79 A Shocking Plan, A Mistake?
Zelda is Yoshitaka Waya's online name.
Previously, Shintaro Ichiyanagi had also used Yoshitaka Tani as a unit of measurement for Go skill.
Of course, this was something that Gu Yigao was unaware of.
However, the fact that Yoshitaka Waya was valued by Shigeo Morishita and taken as a disciple is enough to demonstrate Yoshitaka Waya's talent in Go.
Perhaps because he is only 14 years old, Yoshitaka Waya, despite being a student at the Japan Go Association, is very fond of online Go, a novel thing.
Furthermore, Yoshitaka Waya's skill in Go has made the name Zelda somewhat well-known in the online Go community.
Therefore, among those who came to watch the game because of GG, some recognized Zelda after seeing his name.
In the US, Ada, upon seeing that GG's opponent was Zelda, exclaimed in surprise, "It's Zelda! This game is going to be interesting..."
In South Korea, Yoo Jung-yeon, a 7-dan professional tennis player, was watching the match in silence when he heard his disciple's surprised voice say, "Zelda, I didn't expect GG's opponent to be him this time?"
Yu Zhengyan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "You know this Zelda?"
The disciple nodded in agreement, saying, "Zelda is somewhat famous in the online Go community."
“When I first entered the Go academy, I played Go against him online. Although it was humiliating, it was a crushing defeat for me.”
"I later sent him a private message. I remember he said he was a student of the Japanese Go Association."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhengyan couldn't help but ask, "Since you've played against them all, who do you think will win this game?"
The disciple pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Yu Zhengyan and said, "I think it will be Zelda."
Upon hearing his disciple's answer, Yu Zhengyan's lips curled into a slight smile, his anticipation for the upcoming game growing even stronger. He murmured, "GG, let me see where your limits are..."
......
Meanwhile, Yoshitaka Wagaya, unaware that his match had attracted much attention, was looking at GG's basic information.
Upon seeing this, Yoshitaka Wagaya was stunned.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on Yoshitaka Wagaya's face, and his tone unconsciously rose as he said, "41 matches, 100% win rate!?"
As they spoke, a look of excitement gradually appeared on Yoshitaka Wagaya's face.
Yoshitaka Waya knew that GG's record meant that GG's chess skills were not weak.
Realizing this, Yoshitaka Wagaya murmured expectantly, "GG, I hope you won't disappoint me..."
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, Yoshitaka Wagaya glanced at GG's basic information, a slight smile playing on his lips, and continued, "As for your winning streak, let me break it..."
As an in-in of the Japanese Go Association and a disciple of the renowned 9-dan professional Go player Morishita, Yoshitaka Watani naturally possesses ample arrogance and confidence when facing mostly amateur online Go players.
At this time, Yoshitaka Wasani did not think of GG as a professional player, but only considered GG as a relatively strong amateur player.
It's important to know that Yoshitaka Waya is an in-in of the Japanese Go Association, so he knows better than others that professional Go players rarely play online Go, let alone at this time.
On the other side, Chen Anxia stopped dwelling on the familiarity the name Zelda evoked and instead looked at Zelda's basic information.
Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Chen Anxia's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "178 matches, 81% win rate..."
It has to be said that Zelda's match statistics are very impressive, which made Chen Anxia's blood boil and made him even more excited for the next match.
At the same time, Chen Anxia was also thinking about which chess principle he should use in this game.
As Chen Anxia was pondering this, a pop-up appeared on the game interface with the option to guess who goes first.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia directly chose the odd number option.
The result of the coin toss was quickly announced, with Chen Anxia playing black and moving first.
Those watching the game perked up when they saw the result of the coin toss; they all knew the match was about to begin.
Meanwhile, they were also looking forward to GG's performance in this game.
At this moment, Chen Anxia had entered a state of chess enlightenment.
This also means that Chen Anxia has already chosen which chess principle to use.
Then, Chen Anxia reached out and controlled the mouse, placing a piece on the virtual chessboard as if he were holding a real black chess piece.
The next moment, in the eyes of Yoshitaka Wagaya and all the spectators, a black piece appeared on the virtual chessboard.
Upon seeing the black piece, everyone, including He Gu Yigao, others, and even professionals like Yu Zhengyan and top players like Huang Yuetian, were stunned.
Then, a series of incredulous words came from their mouths.
"San San!?"
"Black actually played the first move at the 3-3 point!?"
"What is GG thinking? Why would he place his first bet on a point that's even more disadvantageous than Xiao Mu?"
"Was it a mistake? Or was it not GG himself playing this time?"
……
After realizing what had happened, Yoshitaka Waya did not rush to make a move. Instead, he frowned and muttered to himself, "Judging from GG's number of games and win rate, he shouldn't make such a basic mistake."
"Could it be that GG placed the item at the wrong location?"
Upon considering this possibility, a look of disappointment appeared on Gu Yigao's face.
According to Yoshitaka Wagaya, the outcome of the match was already decided the moment GG placed the wrong position.
The evenly matched contest that Gu Yigao had hoped for naturally ended without a resolution.
However, the game must continue, and Yoshitaka Wagaya will not become passive because of this; he will still choose to go all out.
Without further hesitation, I saw Yoshitaka Wagaya control the mouse and place a piece on the star position in the upper left corner.
After Yoshitaka Wagaya made his move, Black followed suit by placing a stone in the lower left corner star point.
Upon seeing this, Yoshitaka Wagaya directly controlled the mouse to occupy the last corner star position, that is, the bottom right star position.
At this point in the game, apart from GG's first move, the other moves were all standard and unremarkable.
Therefore, the people watching the game basically didn't react, just silently observing the board, wanting to see how GG would deal with his first mistake.
Only Nie Xiangxiang, staring at the layout on the virtual chessboard, seemed to have thought of something. Her pupils began to flicker slightly, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Three-three, star... Could this be..."
Just as Nie Xiangxiang was muttering to herself, another black piece appeared on the virtual chessboard.
The appearance of this black stone caused Nie Xiangxiang's mind to tremble violently.
