Upon hearing this, Yang Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, I'll make the first move, placing the first stone at the center."
Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned and looked at Yang Feng with a puzzled expression.
Basically, very few people will start with the top rank (tengen).
The move to the center of the board is called "Tengen". Because Go emphasizes the layout, the general rule is to occupy the corner first and then expand the side. However, this makes it easy to be attacked from both sides, and the foundation is unstable. If you are not careful, you will be trapped.
Seeing Yang Feng place the black stone at the center of the board, the old man hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young man, do you really know how to play Go? This isn't Gomoku!"
"Don't worry, I already said I'd be playing blindfold chess, how could I not know how to play Go? Please, old man." Yang Feng smiled calmly, not caring at all.
The old man gave Yang Feng a deep look, trying to read something from his face, but he just smiled faintly and couldn't discern anything.
If this is an act, it shows that this young man is extremely cunning.
But the old man naturally wouldn't believe it.
The old man no longer hesitated and began to place his pieces.
As the two players placed their black and white chess pieces one by one...
Yang Feng's pieces were now surrounded and cornered, with no chance of recovery.

The outcome is already decided.
The old man stroked his white beard, a slight smile appearing on his wrinkled face. He looked up at Yang Feng and said, "Young man, you've lost."
However, Yang Feng smiled calmly, picked up the last black piece, and placed it in a corner.
"What is this?" The old man's eyes widened slightly, his pupils slowly shrinking to the size of needles, as if he had seen something terrifying.
The entire game of dead pieces has miraculously come back to life!
Yang Feng smiled, his deep eyes gleaming with wisdom, and said, "I wonder if this old man has ever heard of the technique of 'entering the hole to retrieve the fish'?"
"Entering the hole to catch the fish? Haha, truly a formidable young man. I lost inexplicably and am quite unwilling to accept it." The old man laughed heartily, stroking his white beard. Despite his defeat, he was in high spirits.
This demonstrates the strength of Chinese youth in chess, which is in no way inferior to that of Korea and Japan.
"Unexpectedly, this move was a classic case of luring the enemy into a trap and catching them like turtles in a jar. Brilliant!" The old man couldn't help but give a thumbs up, his eyes fixed intently on the chessboard.
Yang Feng indeed doesn't know how to play Go, but he has a jumble of memories in his mind, in which he knows all sorts of board game skills.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise, as it resulted in the acquisition of chaotic memories.
Yang Feng suddenly received a text message from his sister, saying that he hadn't been back to see her in a long time.
There were so many things to do, and now that I finally have some time, I can go back and visit.
"Grandpa, I have something to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer," Yang Feng said, standing up.
Seeing that the young man was about to leave, the old man couldn't sit still any longer. He disregarded the intricacies of the chessboard and grabbed Yang Feng's wrist with his aged hand.
"Young man, wait a moment. This is my business card. If you have time, you can come to the chess hall and meet this old man."
Yang Feng was taken aback. He glanced down at the business card in the old man's hand, then took it, since he did have a good impression of the old man.
"Okay, I'll be going now."
He put the business card in his pocket, turned around, and left the park.
Watching his departing figure, the old man's expression became somewhat agitated, and he murmured, "What a formidable young man, he actually managed to kill me without even knowing why."
This old man has never lost to anyone in Go.
"Mr. Ma, that young man has already gone far away." At this moment, a bodyguard saw that the old man had been standing still for a long time, so he stepped forward and said.
The old man nodded slowly, turned to look at him, and said, "Ah Xiao, I need that young man's information. Judging from his appearance, he might just be a college student, yet his skill in chess is even deeper than mine."
"What? Mr. Ma, you're a national Go master, how could you lose to that young man?" the bodyguard named A Xiao exclaimed in surprise.
———
Not long after, Yang Feng stepped into the ordinary residential area again and saw the willow trees planted on both sides of the building. The long willow branches swayed in the wind, their graceful dance so beautiful and natural.
A gentle breeze caressed his black hair; everything seemed so natural.
"It's been a long time since I've been back." Yang Feng looked up at the direction of his home.
He took a step and walked over.
Arriving at the door of the old house, I took out the key and opened the door.
Upon entering, Yang Feng discovered that the place was completely empty. Just by glancing around, he knew that no one had lived there for a long time.
Yang Feng roughly knew that his sister had gone to her best friend's house, so he simply took out his phone and made a call to Yang Lianqing.
"Brother, it's been so long, do you still remember that you have a little sister like me?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, making Yang Feng's lips curl into a smile.
"Where are you? I'm back, I'm in the Ordinary Community now."
"Oh, you're back. I'm at my best friend's house. I'll send you the address later."
