[Soul of Chess] Shugui

"Ah Guang, don't forget about tomorrow's party." Before getting into the car, He Gu Lin asked again.

Shindo rolled his eyes, maybe he was late for today's seminar: "Got it, I won't forget it!"

"That's good, I'm leaving." He Gu got a satisfactory answer, and simply got into the car and left.

Shinto walked leisurely with his pockets in his pocket, still thinking about the chess game just now in his mind.

He Gu's basic skills are actually very solid.He learned chess early, and has been learning from professional chess players.

Although I didn't make much progress in the years when I was a college student, playing chess with people of similar level to my own will make my chess more and more stable.In addition, Hegu has always had the habit of playing scores, using all the records of Go great players in the past.Therefore, whether it is chess style or chess sense, Hegu is above the average person.

But He Gu's chess game always lacked something, which hindered his way forward.

Shinto thought of the most dangerous move in today's chess game.I was too impatient when I was working, so I didn't notice the trap set by He Gubu, and I was almost... also almost, and I wasn't really trapped.It was time to end the game, if Hegu had been more ruthless at that time, he would not have won.

That's right, He Gu's chess is not hard enough.

What about mine?

The right hand in his pocket moved, and he put it into a Nianzi posture. Shinto touched the two calluses on his fingertips, which were hard, small, and a little round.

Two years, five years, seven years, year after year, day after day, this action is repeated without interruption, just to depict a different universe.

Shinto strolled, his brows that had been locked in thought relaxed.He enjoys his current life very much, playing chess constantly, becoming stronger and moving towards his goal.

However, there is still a voice in my heart, clamoring and making noise, which cannot be ignored.

Talking by hand, playing chess, competing, playing chess... No matter how many names there are, 360 points of intersection on the vertical and horizontal lines of Go, and 360 pieces of black and white chess pieces staggered on the intersection point, are consistent in the flow of time, and there will be no any changes.

Oh, by the way, Go still needs an opponent.There are many opponents, but there is only one opponent in life.

……

But now I feel that it's just that the opponent is not satisfied.

Ignore, avoid, ignore, let things be.Perhaps this is the natural attitude.

But people are always greedy. After having a little, they want more.

Shinto stretched out his right hand and looked at the two small calluses on his fingertips.

Not long after we met, Taya was standing on the street holding his hand and looking over and over again.

Was it at that time that my heart began to disobey?

Ah, thinking about it this way, am I a pedophile?

Jin Teng suddenly went black, and then burst out laughing again.

The connection on the upper left was cut off in an instant, and the territory on the lower left was also in an embarrassing situation where it was easy to attack and difficult to defend. There were only a few ways to survive in the hinterland, but where would it expand after going out?The lower right has become the fortress of Heizi, and the upper right has little chance.

Taya couldn't let go of Baizi's hand because he didn't know where to put it.

This game of chess...

"I admit defeat." Taya said unwillingly, throwing the white pieces into the chess box.

So strong!Is Zidi really only in her 20s with this battle-hardened aura and weird and mysterious style?

Taya, who was still immersed in the chess game, didn't notice the strangeness of the purple flute.

Her originally pale face was covered with sweat, and her lips had turned purple since she didn't know when.Hearing the sound of Taya conceding defeat, Zidi's heart relaxed, and the chess piece that had been held in the palm of his hand slid out along the posture of the body falling down.

boom!

Taya, who lowered his head to think about the chess game, only felt something flashing in front of his eyes, and before he could react, he heard a muffled sound.He looked up strangely, just in time to see Zidi falling down.

"Purple, purple flute!"

Just as Ta Ya carried the purple flute back to the room, there was the sound of the door opening from the entrance.

Taya and his wife are back.

Game room.

Taya sat in front of his father, clenched his fists.

Taya Xingyang's eyes fell on the chess board, without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the chess room was extremely tense.

"Father, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that playing chess would cause... such a heavy burden on her body." Taya was almost speechless under the pressure of her father.

"It was the first time I played chess with Zidi, and she passed out before finishing the game." Taya Yukiyo's voice was as calm as usual, and there was no abnormality.

Taya was silent.

"Later, I asked her when did she start playing chess." Taya Yukiyo still remained motionless, "She answered me, 100 years."

Taya understood why he lost so badly, but after thinking about it, he became even more confused.

"I've been in China for a long time, and I never knew that there was such a little girl in the Chinese Go world." There was a slight fluctuation in Teacher Taya's voice, "When Shinto was a student at the academy, he once played a game of Go with Kadowaki. At the end of the game, Kadowaki asked him the same question. Do you know what Shinto's answer was?"

Taya suddenly remembered the first time he played chess following Fuji, he suddenly raised his head and looked at his father.

"That kid Shinto, actually answered '1000 years'." A smile appeared on Taya's teacher's face, but it disappeared quickly, replaced by a look that Taya still couldn't understand.

Taya lowered his head slowly, he couldn't understand his aging father, and suddenly realized that he thought he didn't really understand Shinto.

But he used to think that he was the one closest to the truth.

"Father, why are you telling me this?"

"Hehe, I just feel that it's time to talk about something."

Taya Yukiyo stretched out his right hand, which had been in the wide sleeve, and picked up a sunspot and placed it in the star position.

Then he withdrew his hand and lowered his eyebrows.

As if waiting, the invisible person on the opposite side stretched out his fan and pointed at the next drop.

Taya quietly exited the chess room.

Zidi looked at the young man sitting beside her bed with a guilty face, and was speechless.

If you're really sorry, just say, don't stare at me so silently, okay?I am timid.

But in fact, Taya has many questions in his heart, and there are many things he wants to say, but he doesn't know where to start.

"Xiao Liang, what's the matter with you?" Compared with Taya more patiently, Zidi resolutely admit defeat.

Ta Ya glanced at Zidi in embarrassment: "Actually, it's fine."

@#￥%…

Zi Di felt a little dizzy.

"Uh, are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm used to it, and I asked for it, it has nothing to do with you." Zi Di was extremely generous.

Taya looked at the girl's still pale face, thought for a while and said, "Father told me about the first time I played chess with you. And Shinto... Zidi sister, do you know Sai? "

"Sai? Who is Sai? What's wrong with Jinto?" Zidi calmly pretended to be stupid, "How would I know this kind of thing if you ask me? Why don't you just ask Jinto?"

Strange, would Taya know how to ask Shinto about things from other people's mouths?

"I..." Taya was silenced by Zidi's words, "I see, I'm sorry to bother you. You take your time to rest."

Looking at Taya's back, Zi Di couldn't help but say a few more words: "Xiao Liang, where's your determination? Where's your courage?"

Yeah, what about my resolution?Where is my courage?

Taya smiled wryly, and left Zidi's room as if fleeing.

The lights are on, and outside the open window is a little light shining in the darkness.

Shinto lay on his back on the bed, holding the phone in his hand, fiddling with it boredly.

Relaxed just after taking a shower, Shindo flipped through the call log and accidentally saw a few calls from last night.

It turned out that I was really the one who called Taya yesterday.

After returning home, Shindo finally remembered what happened last night amid Mitsuko's nagging.

After he said goodbye to Taya, he went to enjoy the victory dinner with He Gu, Yi Jiao, and a few close students.

How can you eat a big meal without drinking wine?Shinto vaguely remembered that he drank a few more glasses under Kazutani's provocation and the excitement of winning chess, so it was... a tragedy.

It's a pity that I didn't even taste a taste, and I was in a daze after that, and couldn't remember what happened.

The last impression... The last impression seems to be that smile in the dim lights, warm and sad.

Is that Zuo, or is it Taya?

But Taya... Is he the kind of person who will come just because of a phone call?Still in the middle of the night...

I called him and didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, right? !

Looking at these call records, Shinto suddenly blushed.If only the audio was recorded at that time, I can still know what I said now.

But when I think about what happens if I say something unscrupulously...it's so embarrassing.

Taya didn't have any strange reactions this morning, so he probably didn't slip up.

Ahhh, I don't want to, now is not the time to think about these things.

Throwing the phone on the quilt, Shinto turned over and sat down in front of the chessboard.

Playing chess and chess, I finally entered the round-robin battle through the challenge, but I can't be brushed out again.

You can't be proud, and you can't be soft-hearted.

That guy Taya also said that I'm a proud soldier, I'm not proud!Hmph, idiot Taya, so what if you win Ogata, be careful to be defeated by Mr. Morishita.

Ah, why did I think of him again.

Play chess and chess, let’s play teacher Taya’s chess records today, the China-Korea team competition some time ago was amazing!As expected of Teacher Taya!

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

Taya made moves one by one, analyzing every move he made.

What gradually formed on the chessboard was the game with Zidi.

Just because in the replay, the chess patterns are a little different.

Zidi's chess skills are very strong.This kind of Go cannot be played by young people in their twenties.Even if she is a genius, this kind of sophisticated chess style is not the same as being gifted.Could it be that she has really played Go for 100 years?

So what about Shinto, Sai behind Shinto, is Honinbo Shusaku 1000 years ago?

That's why Shindo is so attached to Honinbo?

So when you were a college student, it was Sai who played chess with the Men's Association?

All of a sudden, Taya froze her hand and shook her head mockingly.

How do I think about this kind of strange and chaotic thing, and I can analyze it systematically.

If others know that Taya Ryo is thinking about these things, they will be regarded as crazy.

Taya closed her eyes.

But Zidi's words came to mind: What about your determination?Where is your courage?

Heh~ A pair of climbing vines, my determination and courage may not be of any use.

……

When he opened his eyes again, Taya made a steady drop without any hesitation.

The author has something to say: It seems that I can't help complaining again. . .

No good atmosphere == alas. . .
