They all were talking and laughing, waiting to see how the Chinese player would make a fool of himself. But unbeknownst to those on the Korean server, the people on the other side were even more excited than they were. In fact, they were more than 100 times more excited than them!

Li Shinchi chose to play a blitz game.
Li Shinchi chose to play a blitz game.
A blitz game’s rules were not fixed and would differ slightly in every country, with the different tournaments also taking a different stance on the rules regarding it. The general consensus was 30 seconds per move with 10 moves allowed to take up to a total of 10 minutes of thinking time in the game. It was a battle of decisiveness without much thinking time, so playing such a style would demand a lot of the player’s skill. In the Korean Go world, although Li Shinchi was not considered one of the top three players, he was still regarded as one of the top in the game of speed with very few opponents who could match him at a blitz game. In the Chinese Go world, there were also not that many professional Go players who specialized in blitz. Xiang Rong 9-dan was unable to do it, and neither could Li Yi 9-dan.

Zhang Ye did not even think and just replied, speaking at the camera as he did so, “Some of you might not know, so let me tell you all about it. This person playing me is Li Shinchi, which I believe some viewers have already translated and mentioned in the comments. He is considered one of the top few experts in the Korean Go scene, and from the looks of it, his blitz game is even better. Looking at this move here, although the stone was placed fast, it’s position was still very well thought out. It’s a good move. But he might not know this: I am also very good at blitz. I don’t believe that anyone has ever seen me play blitz, right? Alright then, let me show it to you all today!”

The atmosphere had reached a fever pitch!

Looking at Li Shinchi’s name, their eyes were all showing a sympathetic glow! Who was Zhang Ye? He was the number one of the international Go world who no one had beat in a normal match. Giving him a handicap? And it was even a handicap of five stones? What kind of an outcome would that lead to in the end? They would find out soon enough!

Even when Li Shinchi resigned and admitted defeat, he still couldn’t come to grips with it and felt like he had been dealt a heavy blow. How was this possible! Who was this person! Even if he had allowed him a five-stone handicap, it was impossible that anyone could beat him in such a relaxed fashion! Then he realized in surprise and nearly vomited a mouthful of blood—his opponent was also a professional Go player!

He’s a top professional Go player in Korea and was a previous champion at the International Go tournament! He’s an evergreen player in the Korean Go scene and his playstyle is extremely steadfast. Come on then, let me have a taste of your skill!”

Zhang Ye said into the camera with a smile, “Everyone, have a look at this move. It’s very interesting because the opponent is actually trying to lay a trap for me. He is hoping that I will play over here. Why is that? Have a look over here, and here.” He moused over the positions. “Do you guys understand now? This is a very well-hidden trap. How do you think I will handle this? Hehe, I am actually got to fall for it on purpose. I’m going in!”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “How could I possibly lose? Hai, he has placed his stone already. Haha, looks like he thinks that I have fallen for his trap. He’s already planning his next move. Very good, then I’m gonna make a stand here. Is he going to go this way? Good, I’ll follow. Hur hur, see this, he’ll realize very soon that the person who has fallen into the trap is actually himself.”

They respected his strength in the game as he was able to sweep everyone aside and emerge victorious. He was definitely the number one person of the international Go world, or perhaps even in the entire history of Go! But the problem was that his character was simply too detestable. He was totally immoral to no end, with no one coming close either 500 years before or after this present moment!
