Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 117

Neither Chen Anxia nor Mizuno Hiroshi took this seriously.

Hiroshi Mizuno even streamed the game live on the player world's network.

The reason for this is that Mizuno Hiroshi saw the popularity of Chen Anxia and wanted to use Chen Anxia as a stepping stone to make himself famous.

As for the possibility of losing to Chen Anxia, ​​Mizuno Hiroshi had not considered it.

Because Hiroshi Mizuno has another identity, which is that of a student in the player world.

Although Hiroshi Mizuno was only considered average among the students.

However, in Mizuno Hiroshi's opinion, his skill level was more than enough to defeat Chen Anxia.

After all, he had already embarked on the path of chess and begun to cultivate his own chess aura.

This is also the source of Hiroshi Mizuno's confidence.

In addition, Chen Anxia's Daoce style is also a point that Mizuno Hiroshi believes will guarantee victory.

As an insei (a student of Go), Mizuno Hiroshi would naturally know the shortcomings of the Dosaku style, and he would also know that if a Go player does not have super calculation talent, then the Dosaku style he can perform will ultimately be just a copy of the tiger and will not amount to anything.

For example, Yamazaki Honinbo, a member of the orthodox Dosaku school, values ​​calculation ability in his disciples. Even if they do not have super calculation talent, they must be outstanding in calculation ability.

Only in this way can the full power of the Daoist strategy be unleashed.

As for Chen Anxia's Daoist strategy...

Hiroshi Mizuno has studied the game records of other players and Chen Anxia that have been exposed online.

Through these game records, Mizuno Hiroshi discovered that Chen Anxia's Dosaku style was not flawless, and there were many flaws and mistakes in his moves.

This already explains a lot.

Because Hiroshi Mizuno is also a minor internet celebrity.

Therefore, Hiroshi Mizuno's live stream immediately attracted a lot of attention.

In addition, Chen Anxia's current popularity has led to a continuous increase in the number of viewers in Mizuno Hiroshi's live stream.

Hiroshi Mizuno was naturally delighted and resolved to win this game beautifully.

The result of the coin toss was quickly announced: Hiroshi Mizuno would play black and go first.

Without hesitation, Mizuno Hiroshi used the move he had practiced for a long time, which he felt was the coolest and most stylish way to place a piece on the board, directly picking up a piece and dropping it.

Harumi Ichikawa, who was watching the game from the sidelines, nodded to herself after seeing Hiroshi Mizuno's move of placing a piece.

Regardless of Mizuno Hiroshi's skill level, his very actions in placing the stones are impressive and eye-catching.

Viewers in the live stream couldn't help but send a barrage of comments after seeing Hiroshi Mizuno make his move.

"I love the way he moves when he picks up a piece."

"Student livestreamer, showing off his skills online!"

"Is the streamer a graduate student? Really?"

"I also wish I could play chess like that, but unfortunately my skills aren't good enough."

Who is the streamer's opponent?

"I came here because I heard the streamer is challenging Chen Anxia?"

"Is the streamer's opponent Chen Anxia? Could it be that the streamer also received that opportunity mission?"

"It seems the streamer is going to complete this opportunity mission. I'm curious what the reward will be."

......

Hiroshi Mizuno had been keeping a close eye on the live stream, and upon seeing these comments, a smug look appeared on his face.

After watching Mizuno Hiroshi's move, Chen Anxia remained expressionless, secretly commenting, 'Showy but impractical...'

In his mind, Chen Anxia had a rough assessment of Mizuno Hiroshi's Go skills.

At the same time, Chen Anxia also decided to give guidance to Mizuno Hiroshi.

Only in this way can Hiroshi Mizuno demonstrate his chess principles to the greatest extent possible.

Thinking about it, Chen Anxia picked up a white chess piece and placed it directly onto the chessboard.

The game of chess has begun.

As the game progressed, the situation between Chen Anxia and Mizuno Hiroshi became a stalemate.

From the perspective of the spectators, although Chen Anxia's white pieces had a slight advantage, Mizuno Hiroshi's black pieces were relentlessly pursuing and could overtake him at any moment.

Moreover, the spectators also noticed many flaws and mistakes in Chen Anxia's moves.

It was precisely because of these flaws and mistakes that Mizuno Hiroshi's black pieces were able to keep up the chase.

Meanwhile, during the match between Chen Anxia and Mizuno Hiroshi, more and more players found the Zishui Go Club.

Without any hesitation, these players entered the Zishui Go Club one after another, intending to find Chen Anxia and complete the opportunity mission.

.......

Chapter 175 A chilling thought: Controlling the number of points to win! (Second update, please subscribe!)

Within the world of "Hikaru no Go," Yasutaka Uemura also followed Hiroshi Mizuno's live stream.

It must be said that Hiroshi Mizuno provided Yasutaka Uemura with a great idea: live streaming.

Previously, although Yasutaka Uemura was a professional game reviewer, most of his previous game reviews were presented in the form of articles and videos, and he had never done a live broadcast.

Therefore, although Yasutaka Uemura was no stranger to the live streaming format, he was quite unfamiliar with its actual operation.

However, Yasutaka Uemura was still willing to give it a try, and immediately started registering for a live streaming room.

Meanwhile, Uemura Tairyu also headed towards the Zishui Go Club.

Previously, the match between Chen Anxia and Touya Akira was mostly watched by the original inhabitants of the "Hikaru no Go" world.

After all, they knew Chen Anxia and Touya Akira better.

Now, Chen Anxia is facing off against players, and the target audience includes both the original inhabitants of the "Hikaru no Go" world and players from the player world.

This means that as long as Uemura Tairyu manages things well, he can take advantage of Chen Anxia's confrontation with the players to attract a lot of popularity for himself in both worlds.

Naturally, Yasutaka Uemura wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Meanwhile, around Chen Anxia and Mizuno Hiroshi's chess game, more than a dozen players had unknowingly gathered, and the number was still increasing.

Among these players, besides those who challenged Chen Anxia yesterday, there were also players who came out of curiosity to join in the fun.

At this moment, the players who had come out of curiosity to join in the fun were all staring blankly at the void in front of them, at the quest panel that only they could see.

They never expected that their mere presence would trigger an opportunity mission from Chen Anxia.

For players, there's absolutely no reason to give up on a task that's already within their grasp.

Without hesitation, these players accepted the opportunity mission.

Moreover, one of these players casually posted his experience online.

Because of the popularity of topics related to Chen Anxia, ​​this player's experience immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players.

Those players who hadn't accepted the quest were also eager to try after seeing this situation, and they all rushed to the Zishui Go Club, hoping to trigger the opportunity quest from Chen Anxia.

Of course, Chen Anxia and Mizuno Hiroshi were unaware of these things.

At this moment, Hiroshi Mizuno couldn't care less about his live stream and was staring intently at the chess game in front of him.

With Mizuno Hiroshi's skill level, he was naturally able to understand the situation of the game and knew that he was currently at a slight disadvantage.

However, this disadvantage is based on the komi rule and is based on the situation where one is playing black.

If we disregard the 5.5 points komi Black makes at the start, then Black has a slight advantage in the game.

This also shows that Hiroshi Mizuno, playing black, has already recovered some of the opening disadvantage in terms of komi.

However, in Mizuno Hiroshi's view, this was far from enough.

Mizuno Hiroshi originally wanted to win decisively, but the game has now entered the late middle stages, and his black pieces are still at a slight disadvantage.

This also means that Hiroshi Mizuno's idea of ​​winning by a large margin and winning convincingly has failed.

That is why Hiroshi Mizuno cannot allow any unexpected events to occur in the next game, and he cannot allow himself to lose during the live broadcast.

Hiroshi Mizuno wanted to win, and he wanted to become famous by stepping on Chen Anxia.

According to Hiroshi Mizuno, as long as nothing unexpected happens in the final stage, he should be able to win by about one point.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

......

With each crisp, clear sound of pieces being placed, the game finally drew to a close.

Currently, there is only one meaningful and placeable spot left on the chessboard.

Now it's Mizuno Hiroshi's turn to play black.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hiroshi Mizuno will definitely take this last spot.

But Hiroshi Mizuno did not make a move for a long time.

Hiroshi Mizuno knew that even if he occupied this point, according to the score on the board, the result of the game would still be that he, playing black, would lose by one point.

Hiroshi Mizuno naturally couldn't accept this result.

However, no matter how much Hiroshi Mizuno couldn't accept it, the outcome of the game was already decided, and it was decided in front of everyone.

In this situation, no matter how much Hiroshi Mizuno couldn't accept it, he had to accept it.

In the end, Hiroshi Mizuno did not make that final move, but instead conceded defeat with a sense of dejection and resentment.

The reason for his resentment was that, in Mizuno Hiroshi's view, he could have won this game, but due to some poor handling of certain situations, he missed the victory.

After losing the game, Hiroshi Mizuno didn't have the courage to face the audience in the live broadcast room. His previous confident vows turned into the loudest slap in the face.

Feeling ashamed, Mizuno Hiroshi left the Zishui Go Club and shut down his live stream.
