Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
It was too sudden!
Zhang Ye's move came like a bolt from the blue!
Just when everyone thought that Zhang Ye was at his wits' end and had lost the match, he suddenly placed his stone on the board. And then, countless people in front of their televisions saw Chen Ying jump to her feet and heard her scream!
Hand of God?
What Hand of God?
Everyone was shocked silly!
Did you get it wrong?
Hasn't it already ended?
Didn't Zhang Ye lose?
The viewers were confused, and even those who truly understood Go did not get what they were looking at immediately. They were nowhere near as skilled!
But the professional Go players were making an uproar!
Hu Liang said in a daze, "What?"
Xu Han said, "I-Is this a possible move?"
Everyone stared fixedly at the screen in utter disbelief at what they were seeing!
All of a sudden, Wu Changhe roared, "It's possible!"
Dan Donghe also cried out, "It's really possible! It's really possible!"
Heavens!
The Hand of God!
Fuck, this was truly the Hand of God!
After a moment's shock, screams suddenly sounded from the spectator room!
"Ahhh!"
"Heavens!"
"Holy shit!"
"Professor Zhang has…"
"Is he on steroids or something?!"
"Holy motherfucking hell!"
"Good! Alright! Alright! Alright! Great!"
"My God! What have I seen?"
"This is a fucking earthshakingly magnificent move!"
Everyone went crazy!
It really felt like they had gone crazy!
Afterwards, many of them looked to Xiang Rong!
"Master Xiang!"
"Master Xiang, this game…"
Xiang Rong 9-dan finally spoke. No one noticed that he had clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were cutting into the flesh. "Professor Zhang…is about to turn things around!"
A female player's eyes abruptly reddened!
A few other players were also brimming with tears. Faced with this magnificent move, they were no longer able to control their emotions!
Li Qinqin said in a stunned tone, "Changhe!"
Wu Changhe grabbed his wife's hand excitedly and said, "We are…going to win!"
The Americans were dumbfounded!
How could there be a move like this?
How could there still be a chance of survival for Zhang Ye?
…
Beijing Television.
The Go commentator shouted, "Unbelievable! This is simply unbelievable!"
…
The Online Go Server.
The commentator exclaimed, "It's the Hand of God! Professor Zhang has broken out! He could play the Hand of God in such a hopeless situation! It's such a beautiful move! It's so elegant! Friends! Please remember this moment! Please be sure to remember this moment! This game will enter the annals of Go! This will be the greatest game of Go this year! This will be the greatest game in the entire history of Go! Thousands of years later, people will probably have forgotten Xiang Rong's and Shinji 9-dan's name, but they will never forget about Zhang Ye's Hand of God that saved the Go world! History will remember it! This will be the greatest victory for humanity!"
…
In Korea.
The official commentator screamed until his voice cracked!
"It's possible!"
"It's been confirmed as a possible move!"
"The Chinese have played the Hand of God!"
"Incredible! Unbelievable!"
…
In Japan.
"The corner position has been brought back to life!"
"Even though it clearly looked like a deadlock, the Chinese have brought it back to life!"
"The corner territory has made a comeback! Even the center has been brought back to life!"
"That Chinese player is amazing!"
"Peter is done for!"
"He really is the smartest person in the world! How did he think of such a move!"
…
With some of the commentators' analysis and shocked expressions of the hosts, everyone gradually realized the beauty of Zhang Ye's play. It could even be called a stroke of genius! He had barged his way out of a deadlock! A lot of people got the goosebumps from watching!
Watching TV.
His parents stood up!
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli stood up!
Yao Jiancai and Yao Mi stood up!
A lot of people couldn't help themselves and stood up from their chairs and sofas!
Chen Ying 7-dan was giving rousing commentary. "Just how will it end! Just how will Peter handle this move! Faced with Professor Zhang's Hand of God that came out of the blue, what can Peter do? Can it turn things around like it did earlier? Can it maintain its unbeaten record?"
Everything went quiet!
Everyone fell silent!
It was all quiet online!
The people watching in front of their televisions also went quiet!
Everyone was waiting for the outcome!
The Americans still believed that Peter would not lose even though Zhang Ye's Hand of God had shocked them! The American representative was screaming loudly in his head, Go on! Finish him! You have to have something! You're a computer! You're the most advanced AI in the world!
However, they could not see the internal processing going on inside Peter right now!
Peter was stunned!
It was stunned yet again by Zhang Ye's move!
Knight's move: Win%, unknown.
Horizontal stretch: Win%, 2%.
Cut: Win%, 6%.
Five minutes!
Peter was silent for a full five minutes!
Zhang Ye was looking at the screen with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, a notification popped up on the screen!
" Peter has resigned from the game 1 ."
The Americans blanched!
Everyone else erupted when they saw this!
Yu Yingyi yelled, "He has won! Peter has resigned!"
Chen Ying 7-dan's tears were almost falling as she shouted, "Faced with Professor Zhang's Hand of God! Peter had no way to turn the tables! We've won! We've won!"
Hu Liang threw the things in his hands into the air and screamed, "We've won!"
Xu Han was so emotional that he could not say anything. He pointed at the screen with trembling lips!
It hadn't been easy!
It really hadn't been easy!
Shinji 9-dan had lost!
Park Yuhee had lost!
Xiang Rong had lost as well!
This was the final battle of the war between humans and machines and the final stand of humanity at the edge of a cliff. No one had expected that Professor Zhang would actually even the score after losing the first game, forcing Peter to resign in the middlegame! Professor Zhang had turned things around in a game that no one was optimistic about!
An unexpected opening!
An inconceivable way of playing!
Coupled with the final strike that was the Hand of God!
It was wonderful!
He had won beautifully!
The international referees were also shocked at the sight. The Hand of God that was just played made the two of them break out in a cold sweat. They came forward to confirm the results after assessing the board state.
The game had finished!
In the second game of the final battle between humans and machines: Zhang Ye won!
The score was 1-1!
Everyone dispersed from the venue.
Zhang Ye smiled as he stood up and left.
The American representative yelled with a dark look, "Change the flight date!"
His assistant softly replied, "OK."
They had booked their flight for tonight. But now it was obvious that they had to change their flight date!
Zhang Ye left the game room before he raised his arms and stretched. Then he discovered that a lot of people were rushing out from the spectator room across the way!
Wu Changhe!
Hu Liang!
Xu Han!
Dan Donghe!
Everyone came running out!
"Professor Zhang!"
"Professor Zhang, well done!"
"You're the best!"
"Beautifully done, Professor Zhang!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"We've won! We've really won!"
Some were laughing loudly!
Some were clapping with all their heart!
Some were shouting Zhang Ye's name!
Some were even laughing and crying at the same time!
