Go all the way.
The back-and-forth exchanges, the clashes and exchanges, all seemed to spark a powerful and intense battle.
At first, Shingo and his friends didn't seem to notice anything, but as they watched, they were all suddenly left speechless...
……
In the commentary box.
Ikushi Mitsuru's feelings were almost the same as those of Kamina Ayumu and others.
Kenta Kujigawa, standing to the side, was speechless after 50 moves on the board, exclaiming in astonishment, "Shinokubo and Rakuten 8-dan, are they preparing to continue..."
"Yes."
Ikishiki interrupted with a wry smile.
"Like most people, I thought that after the failure and lessons learned in the morning, Shinobu would definitely play steadily in the afternoon game. With his rich experience in playing Go for many years, he would find a certain angle and breakthrough to defeat Luo Chen 8-dan."
"However, what I never expected was that Shinobu was so stubborn. He did not choose the only way to defeat Luo Chen, the eighth-dan, but instead chose to continue the pride of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net."
Kenta Kujikawa's wrinkled face trembled slightly as he softly sighed, "The pride of the Tenraku of All Things?"
Mitsuru Ikushi nodded slowly and repeated, "In the last high-intensity match of his professional career, he wouldn't allow himself to retreat even a single step in his proud field!"
Inside the Chess Club's main hall, the atmosphere was electric.
They heard everything that the commentators, Mitsuru Ikuishi and Kenta Kujikawa, said, and that's why the discussion was so heated and explosive!
"Lord Shinokata Taishi..."
"how come?!"
"As long as we choose to play it safe and steady, Lord Shinobu Daishi has been in the Nine A Peaks for decades and has an incredibly rich experience in Go. We still have a chance to win!"
Why must we choose to fight to the bitter end in the early stages?
"Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away."
"Hey! You guys, don't be so dejected! Even if it's true, and Shinobu Taishi wants to continue competing in the early rounds, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll lose this afternoon's round!"
"That's right! Luo Chen, an eighth-dan player, is still quite young. Lord Shinobu Taishi has a chance to win! Cheer up! Don't let those people over there get you down!"
"But the people over there, they're really...excited."
"Yes……"
Many of Shinobu Daishi's fervent Go fans hesitated and turned to look in another direction, seemingly clearly divided.
On the other side, countless people were shouting loudly, their faces filled with excitement and fervor:
"Go, Luo Chen, 8th Dan!"
"Young Master is invincible!"
"Just got it!!!"
"Young Master, you are the most handsome professional Go player I've ever seen, and you're also incredibly good at Shogi! You're the best!!"
"Kansai Go fans are here! Today, we're all your fans, young master!"
"Go, young master!"
"Keep defeating Shinobu Taishi 9-dan! A 2-0 victory over 9A players, that's awesome, young master!!"
"A new era belongs to us, young master, charge!!!"
"Take him down!!"
"..."
Amidst the constant exclamations of countless fans, Go enthusiasts, and commentators such as Mitsuru Ikushi and Kenta Kujikawa.
Inside the chess room, the game progressed rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the number of moves in the game between Luo Chen and Shinobu Daishi had already exceeded 100 again, reaching 138 moves!
Chapter 406 Madness! Squeezing Potential!
"So fast!"
"It's even faster than this morning!"
"Huh? Huh? These two are really going crazy! I can smell the gunpowder in their mouths!"
Inside the Go room, the referees, Kofuji, Sakari Sumito, and Kamina Ayumu, exchanged glances, all recognizing the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
I am deeply shocked by the speed of interactive technology at present!
Luo Chen and Shinobu Daishi, the two protagonists of the chess game, both had solemn expressions, calm eyes, and breaths that were almost imperceptible!
Snapped!
*Smack!*2
*Smack!*3
A familiar rhythm.
The alternating horse, the charging chariot, and the defensive corner pieces—all the pieces are constantly changing positions in an orderly fashion.
No matter how the roles change, even when the opportunity is right in front of them, a discerning person would secretly wonder, "Why didn't they take that chance?"
The two of them just wouldn't eat!
Maintaining this pace, in the blink of an eye, another 50 moves had passed.
The battle has reached the 180th move.
This includes the players in the Go room, such as Ayumu Kamina, the commentators Mitsuru Ikuishi and Kenta Kujikawa, as well as the Go fans and professional players watching the game outside the Go room.
Even the several 9A-level chess players in the tea room on the third floor.
In another Go room, the famous Go player Yuzuru Hanyu, who had just swiftly defeated his opponent, walked out the door.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath and focused.
180 hands!
In the morning, when the two sides reached this level of exchange, Shinobu Daishi showed obvious signs of exhaustion, and even broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
"It seems that Shinobu's condition is better than expected."
In the commentary booth, after careful observation, Mitsuru Ikushi suddenly spoke with great surprise and astonishment.
"Lord Shinokawa Taishi!!"
"I knew Shinobu Hiroshi would make it!"
"Haha! You bunch of bastards! What do you think 9A soldiers are? Show them some respect, you bastards!!"
"I already said that Lord Shinobu Taishi only held back this morning, not wanting to dampen the spirits of the rising star of the Go world so quickly. You bunch of fools actually thought that a 9A Go player could be defeated so easily!"
"That's right! Lord Shinobukuro!!! Invincible!!!"
In the main hall of the Go-ei Club, the fervent fans of Shinobu Daishi and the die-hard followers of the 9A Warriors erupted in a frenzy of cheers and shouts.
That's exactly what I meant!
How could a dignified 9-dan A, a gem in the Go world, be so easily defeated by a mere 17-year-old boy?
This is absolutely hilarious!
only!
The hall of the Chess Club was filled with noise.
And the chess room on the third floor.
In the otherwise quiet atmosphere, Yu Guitouyao slowly broke the silence: "It's not that Shinawawa didn't give it his all this morning, but rather, this afternoon... right now, Shinawawa is fighting tooth and nail."
"I see it."
Jiu Daijue said calmly.
For some inexplicable reason, Kento Itoya's face flushed red. He didn't understand, but said helplessly, "We're all so old, why bother?"
It's as if we have telepathic connection.
They're clearly not in the same room or the same spot.
What Mitsuru Ikuishi said from the commentary booth seemed to be a perfect answer to Kento Itoya's question.
"The honor of the Ninth Class!"
"The honor of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net!"
"It is also his belief in Shinobu's lofty ambitions!"
"Because of all this, Shinonakusa carries a heavier burden in this battle compared to this morning... In reality, he is truly and frantically pushing his potential to the limit!"
"If I'm not mistaken, Shinobu was already prepared before this afternoon's match began."
"He didn't think about defeating Luo Chen, an 8-dan player, in this elimination match; all he thought about was that, no matter what, he had to win this afternoon!"
"After all, it will be very difficult for Shinonakusa to recover to its current state after this battle."
