[Soul of Chess] What if

Of course, besides not wanting Zuo Wei to miss the game because of himself, there is another very important reason why Aguang is following the progress of the game so enthusiastically, and that is——

This stage of the competition will be held at the Nihon Kiin Kaikan! ! ! Σ(°△°|||)︴

Yes, you read that right, it is the chess academy located in Chiyoda District, Tokyo!

That chess academy where Aguang goes to participate in the student training every Sunday and the second Saturday!

Although the organizer has announced the venues for each stage of this competition, namely Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul, Aguang actually knows that the second stage of the competition will be held in Tokyo.

However, he never imagined that the venue of the competition would be arranged in a place he is so familiar with.

God! ::>_<::

When he heard the news, Ah Guang's heart was broken.

It's not unreasonable for Ah Guang to be so anxious.

Although whether it is the main general or the vanguard, their candidates have been determined before the official start of the game, but the order in which the players play is not according to this.

Challengers for each match are decided on ad hoc basis.

Just like Norio Kudo, he was originally a three general. If the order of playing from the vanguard to the main general is followed, the third game of the first stage should have been played by Uemae Tsuhiro, who was the fourth general.For strategic considerations, the Chess Institute sent Norio Kudo, who is the third general, to play in advance.

In other words, Zuo Wei may appear at any time.

一旦佐为确定出战，阿光肯定是要请假的。因为，第二阶段的比赛时间也已经确定了——四场比赛分别安排在1月18日、19日、21日和22日。

Ah Guang has to go to school these days, not to mention, the 22nd also happens to be the training day for college students.If Zuo Wei is unfortunately asked to play during this period of time, with Zuo Wei's strength, it is entirely possible to win consecutive games. In this way, A Guang may not only ask for leave from the school, but also ask for leave from the chess academy... …

If this is the case, it will be a big trouble ○○(＞＜)○○

After all, both ends have to ask for leave, and it is not easy to come up with a reasonable reason.What's more, I have already asked for a leave of absence from the chess academy before.

Asking for leave too frequently will not only affect your ranking, but more importantly, it will attract the attention of others! ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3

Aguang didn't naively think that other than Taya and Taya's father, no one else would be aware of the inextricable connection between himself and Sai, so he also had some differences in his usual words and deeds. Pay attention to minimize the possibility of identity exposure.

For example, try to talk to Zuo Wei in consciousness as much as possible, usually do not talk or talk less about topics related to sai or Internet Go, clean up the browsing traces after each use of the machine, and so on.

Even though he has been so cautious, Ah Guang is not sure that this will be safe.

After all, he is not a professional in anti-reconnaissance, so there will definitely be details that he didn't notice~ (Show hands)

Although he doesn't know how to hide himself better, Ah Guang knows very well that asking for leave like this is not a long-term solution.

After all, doing so is not only troublesome, but also has a considerable possibility of exposure.

Although sai will also appear on weekends and holidays, during normal working days, sai will only appear when you ask for leave.This is an unchangeable fact.

Once someone notices this, an anomaly is bound to be found.Moreover, as Zuo Wei is invited to more and more competitions, the frequency of his own leave will become more and more frequent, and the original subtle anomalies will become more striking due to the gradual accumulation.

What?coincide?

Well, although this explanation can barely pass the test, but ah, once or twice is fine, if it happens every time, can it be explained by coincidence?

Besides, is there really such a coincidence?

Please... Even he himself won't believe such a statement, okay... ==

Although he had already prepared for the day when Zuo Wei's identity would be revealed, he really didn't want this day to come too early...

I really don't really like to ask for leave...

I hope that the chess academy will send Zuo Wei to play again in the next stage... It was late March at that time, and the school happened to be on spring break, so I wouldn't have to rack my brains to think of reasons to ask for leave...

Just when Ah Guang was praying silently in his heart, he heard the sound of the computer.

Someone sent me a message.

Hey, hey...Could it be from the Chess Academy...o((⊙﹏⊙))o

Don't mind!I don't want to have this kind of prophecy like a crow's mouth! !

A Guang raised his head tremblingly, and found that the sender was not the clerk of the chess academy, but Zelda.

It turned out to be him...

Knowing that this was a false alarm, Ah Guang let out a long sigh of relief.

zelda>sai, you finally appeared! ! !

After passing the code, Ah Guang smiled a little embarrassedly when he saw the words on the screen.

Indeed, after the end of the first stage of the Chunlan Cup, Aguang hardly ever went to an Internet cafe again.On the one hand, the New Year is approaching and there are a lot of things to do, such as sending New Year's greetings, tidying up the room and so on.On the other hand, during the period at the end of the semester, I was rehearsing and reviewing my homework. I was so busy that I was dizzy. When those things finally came to an end, I relaxed, and even a finger I don't even want to move my head.

Of course, those are not the main reasons.

The reason why he hasn't appeared on the Internet for so long is because Zuowei has been concentrating on guiding his own Go during the whole winter vacation.

Zuo Wei focused all his attention on how to help himself improve his chess skills, so the Internet Go business was temporarily put on hold...

After thinking for a while, Ah Guang tapped the keyboard.

sai> I've been a little busy recently, so I don't have time to come up...

sai>what's the matter?What can I do for you?

"Actually, it's not an important matter..." He Gu replied while murmuring in a low voice.

zelda>Didn't I say last time that I planned to change the account?I have applied for a new account.

After a while, the other party replied.

sai> Oh?name is?

zelda>waya

sai>waya?

zelda> yes

Sensing the other party's doubts, He Gu couldn't help but smile triumphantly.To know this name, he thought about it for a long time before finally deciding on it~∩__∩

Although he also thought of a lot of domineering names, but this name really suits him best.Because this name not only has the same pronunciation as my own name, but there is actually an island named Waya in reality!It feels like it’s named after myself. Say ≥﹏≤

Just thinking about it makes me feel so handsome~(*^﹏^*)

Unlike He Gu's complacent, Ah Guang read the name with some confusion.

I always feel that this name is a bit familiar, is it an illusion?

Thinking of the other party's last name, Ah Guang asked:

sai>Which game is this name from?

zelda> No~ this is what I took from my own name *^____^*

It's taken from the name... that means waya is part of the other person's name...

and many more!

Could he be He Gu? ! ⊙﹏⊙∥

Thinking of this possibility, Ah Guang's eyes widened for a moment.Then he shook his head again: It shouldn't be such a coincidence... How could it be possible to meet an acquaintance just by casually touching the Internet?Wouldn't my luck be too bad then(;[-]_[-])

Afterwards, they chatted for a few more words, and when the conversation was almost over, the other party said a little solemnly:

zelda>sai, Nongshim Cup please come on, don’t let South Korea win again.

I'll try my best... Ah Guang smiled wryly.

Before Ah Guang had time to figure out whether this waya was the Hegu he was familiar with, a few days later, he received the news he least wanted to receive——

Qiyuan hopes that Zuo Wei can play early.

In the first game of the second stage, South Korea's Jin Rong took the black first in the third and fourth dans.

As soon as it entered the layout stage, the two sides started a fierce battle in the lower right corner.Because of the fast chess (the Nongshim Cup game is a fast chess game, which takes 1 hour for each side and counts once every minute), Yang Hai made small mistakes in all three moves during the battle between the two sides.In the 1th move, he was greedy for the black three sons, but unexpectedly he paid a heavy price for it, so that he was defeated early, and finally lost to Jin Rong's third and fourth dans.

In the second match, Jin Rong's [-]rd and [-]th dan cleanly knocked Shangqian Jinhong off the ring at [-]th dan.

However, Jin Rongsan, who won two consecutive victories, failed to have the last laugh, because he was immediately blocked by China Wang Lei's [-]th dan, and finally left the ring with regret.

So, as of now, both the Chinese team and the South Korean team have three players left, while the Japanese team only has Sai and Ogata Seiji Nine Dans left, a slight disadvantage.

In order to reverse the situation, Qiyuan decided to send the main general Sai to the field ahead of schedule.

Due to the particularity of Sai, the Chess Institute could not temporarily decide on him to play until the game was about to start like Norio Kudo's Jiudan before. Therefore, after Wang Lei won the [-]th Dan, the clerk who has been responsible for confirming the game arrangement with Sai is in the board of directors At the behest of my friend, I contacted Sai.

The reason why sai was chosen instead of Mr. Ogata was because the board of directors believed that all hopes could not be placed on one person.

Although Sai has almost no rivals in the country, even the most prodigal Taya celebrity has lost to him.However, sai also has a fatal weakness, that is - he has never fought against top Chinese and Korean chess players on formal occasions.

Although unwilling to admit it, it is undeniable that the era when Japanese Go was number one in the world has long since ended.In international competitions, apart from Master Taya who can compete with Chinese and Korean chess players, there is no other chess player who can do it well.

Because many chess players in China are "experts in civil wars and laymen in foreign wars".

Perhaps sai can also show his strength as a Go god in international competitions, but it is quite unwise to put all his eggs in one basket without knowing how the opponent will perform.

Compared with Sai, Mr. Ogata has at least had a remarkable performance in previous international competitions.Out of such considerations, they decided to let sai play in advance.

The author has something to say:

I've been so busy lately...

Um, three seconds of silence for Ah Kwong?
