No, to be more precise, this three-star center layout seems to have been born for this chess principle.
The principles of chess that can give rise to entirely new strategies...
'Top-tier chess theory!'
These four words suddenly flashed into the minds of Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Ken Yamazuka, giving them a huge shock.
Meanwhile, Ogata Seiji, also a top-tier Go player, gradually began to see the tip of the iceberg of the Go principles that Chen Anxia was employing as the game progressed into the middle game.
It was this glimpse into the principles of Go that caused Ogata Seiji's expression to gradually become serious.
However, the answer that Ogata Seiji wanted to know had not yet been revealed.
Ogata Seiji still didn't understand why Kuwahara Honinbo would utter those two words, or what the breakthrough opportunity Morishita Shigeo saw was...
The game of chess continues.
As the game progressed, cold sweat involuntarily beaded on Miki Yuko's forehead.
Yuko Miki discovered that White's advantage at the very beginning of the middle game was gradually being erased without her noticing.
Even now, in Yuko Miki's eyes, the advantages and disadvantages of Othello are even.
This fact put immense pressure on Yuko Miki.
Yuko Miki knew that what Chen Anxia was currently using was the same principle of Go that belonged to Wu Qingyuan.
That kind of subtle, pervasive control over the entire game, able to manipulate the board without making a sound, is something that Miki Yuko could think of no other way than Wu Qingyuan's principles of Go.
Therefore, Yuko Miki also knew that the person she was playing against now, even if it wasn't Wu Qingyuan himself, was someone related to Wu Qingyuan.
However, in Miki Yuko's memory, Wu Qingyuan, who is only 22 years old at the time, has neither children nor disciples.
'So, who exactly is playing against me now?'
In her heart, Yuko Miki was asking herself this question.
Yuko Miki could never have imagined that the world she was in, "Hikaru no Go," was not just a game world, but a real world.
This also means that Miki Yuko had no idea that the person she was playing against at this moment was none other than Chen Anxia himself.
At this point in the game, the game has entered the late middle game.
During this process, Ogata Seiji finally found the answer he was looking for, and finally understood why Kuwamoto Honinbo had uttered those two words.
As for the breakthrough opportunity that Morishita Shigeo saw, Ogata Seiji did not see it.
Ogata Seiji was not surprised by this.
After all, his and Morishita Shigeo's principles of Go are different, and the possibility of them seeing the same breakthrough opportunity is extremely slim.
In addition, Ogata Seiji seemed to have thought of something else, and couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia, as if he was thinking about something.
Then, Ogata Seiji seemed to have made a decision, no longer paying attention to the already decided game, and turned to walk towards a quiet corner.
Then, Ogata Seiji took out his phone and dialed a number.
A moment later, the call was connected, and the voice of Touya Meijin, whom Ogata Seiji was familiar with, came from the other end of the line.
After calming himself down, Ogata Seiji said, "Teacher, you may need to come to the Japan Go Association."
Upon hearing this, Touya Meijin immediately asked, "What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Ogata Seiji replied, "I think I might have seen the child you mentioned, teacher. He is currently at the Island Go Association and is about to participate in the final match."
Upon hearing Ogata Seiji's words, Touya Meijin paused for a moment, then realized who Ogata Seiji was referring to. His mind stirred, and without further ado, he replied, "I'll set off now."
As he was speaking, Touya Meijin hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, at the Zishui Go Club, Harumi Ichikawa, who was giving instructions to Akira Touya, seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "Oh right, Akira, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Under Akira Touya's puzzled gaze, Harumi Ichikawa continued, "It's that child named Chen Anxia."
"He once told me that he was going to participate in the National Children's Go Tournament held at the Japanese Go Association, and it seems to be this weekend..."
Before Harumi Ichikawa could finish speaking, Akira Toya suddenly stood up, ran out of the Go club, and headed towards the Japan Go Association.
In his heart, Akira Touya kept repeating to himself, "Wait for me, you must wait for me, Chen Anxia!"

"I lost..."
With Miki Yuko's sacrifice and surrender, Chen Anxia won the game.
This also means that Chen Anxia has successfully entered the finals.
However, Chen Anxia's face did not show the joy of victory. Instead, he frowned slightly, looking at the chessboard in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.
After the staff registered the winner and loser, neither Chen Anxia nor Miki Yuko left immediately.
Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia and Miki Yuko exchanged a glance, as if they both understood something from each other's eyes.
The next moment, Chen Anxia spoke up, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Upon hearing this, Yuko Miki nodded gently and replied, "I do have something I want to say to you, but I don't know how to say it."
Miki Yuko's seemingly random words startled Chen Anxia, leaving him somewhat confused.
Just as Chen Anxia was about to say something, he heard a mocking voice from the side say, "I heard you lost the game."
"What, is this how you try to stop me?"
The sound made Chen Anxia feel uncomfortable for no reason.
Subconsciously looking in the direction of the sound, Chen Anxia saw Iwashima Man with a fox-like face slowly walking towards her.
Sensing Chen Anxia's gaze, the man from Iwashima turned his narrowed, fox-like eyes toward Chen Anxia and continued, "So you're saying you want to use this brat to stop me?"
After that, Iwashima stopped paying attention to Chen Anxia and turned his gaze to Miki Yuko, saying, "Probably not, after all, you know what I rely on."
As he spoke, the man from Iwashima deliberately shook his head in disappointment and sighed softly, "Sigh."
"Ever since you made those grand pronouncements to me yesterday, I've been looking forward to it, but I never expected it to turn out like this."
"As expected, I shouldn't have had any expectations of trash in the first place..."
After a slight pause, the man from Iwashima smiled maliciously at Yuko Miki and said, "Don't you think so, trash..."
Even though Yuko Miki's mental state is far beyond that of her peers, she was still broken down and her emotions were immediately stirred after hearing Iwashima's words.
However, before Miki Yuko could speak, Chen Anxia said, "Is it fun to perform a one-man show, and to play a clown-like role?"
Chen Anxia's words caused Iwashima's smile to freeze instantly.
Then, the man from Iwashima opened his narrowed, fox-like eyes a crack, and his cold gaze turned toward Chen Anxia.
This gaze intensified Chen Anxia's discomfort, prompting her to say, "I know a brat, and I originally thought his personality was bad enough."
"But I never imagined that there would be a brat in this world with an even worse personality than him."
Upon hearing this, Iwashima silently looked at Chen Anxia for a while, then narrowed his eyes, resumed his foxy smile, and said, "You are very good. See you in the finals."
"We'll find out who the clown is in the final."
"I just hope you can stay this tough in the finals."
Without lingering, the man from Iwashima turned and left.
Chen Anxia watched the departing figure of the Iwashima man, her brows furrowed slightly. She thought to herself, "Could it be that that nasty brat Shinsuke Ichiyanagi lost to this foxy brat whose personality is even worse than his?"
Yuko Miki, unaware of Chen Anxia's thoughts, told him the answer: "Shin-suke Ichiyanagi, who once played against you, was defeated by him, and it was a crushing defeat."
As she spoke, Miki Yuko looked at Chen Anxia intently and continued, "To defeat him, your current skill level is far from sufficient."
"But I hope you can defeat him, even if it means borrowing power that isn't yours..."
If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't understand what Yuko Miki meant by 'borrowing power that doesn't belong to them'.
But Chen Anxia could understand.
Furthermore, through Miki Yuko's words and some information he had gathered, Chen Anxia learned two things.
The first thing is that Miki Yuko was the player who accepted her quest while she was playing against Ichiyanagi Shinsuke.
However, the one who actually played the game was probably not Yuko Miki, but someone else.
Not only Yuko Miki, but also other players who accepted the quests may very well experience the same situation.
This suggests that players likely possess communication methods they are unaware of.
Secondly, the man from Iwashima is also a player, and he should possess some unknown 'weapon'.
It was with this unknown 'weapon' that Iwashima defeated Shinsuke Ichiyanagi.
Thinking about this, Chen Anxia's mood became heavy.
Chen Anxia knew that he was no longer capable of inflicting a crushing defeat on Ichiyanagi Shinsuke.
This also means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be the one to lose in the final match against Iwashima.
Given Iwashima's terrible personality, he would definitely say something nasty or do something outrageous, which is something Chen Anxia doesn't want to see.
Most importantly, Iwashima did not win against himself based on his actual skill level.
Thinking about it, Chen Anxia frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Does a player want to beat me by cheating?"
Then, Chen Anxia couldn't help but look at Miki Yuko, as if he had thought of something. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he murmured to himself, "Interesting. Let's see who cheated and broke the rules more badly..."
After making the decision, Chen Anxia got up and walked towards the lounge.
Seeing this, Yuko Miki was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you also have something you wanted to ask me?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia didn't turn her head, but simply waved her hand and replied, "There aren't any now."
Upon seeing this, Yuko Miki couldn't help but look bewildered and confused, not knowing what was going on with Chen Anxia.
As time passed, while Chen Anxia was in the rest room adjusting his state, Meijin Touya arrived at the Island Nation Go Association.
Given Touya Meijin's reputation, as soon as he entered the island nation's Go Association, he was immediately recognized and quickly caused a great commotion.
A cacophony of voices—discussions, exclamations, and cries of joy—rose and fell.
Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Kenjiro Yamazuka, who were taking a break and chatting with their son in a corner, were surprised to see Meijin Touya arrive.
