[Soul of Chess] What if

"Oh, it was that game!" Zuowei exclaimed as if he had suddenly realized after listening to the conversation with Gu and the others silently for a while.

"That's right." Ah Guang echoed in his heart.

Thinking of the episode before the competition, he said angrily: "I still remember what that Mr. Zama said clearly. Fortunately, Zuo Wei finally beat him to death, otherwise the bad breath would have made me lose my temper." It’s impossible to suffocate!”

"Ah Guang, you're exaggerating..." Seeing Aguang's childish appearance, Zuo Wei couldn't laugh or cry.

Hearing what Zuo Wei said, Ah Guang puffed up his cheeks unconvinced: "That's what it is!"

Seeing that He Gu and the others were still talking about the match between Zuo Wei and Mr. Zama, Aguang continued to talk with Zuo Wei in his consciousness.

"I was so scared to death just now, I thought Hegu found out about our affairs!" Until now, Ah Guang still had lingering fears.

"Yeah! I'm so nervous to say >_<" Zuo Wei nodded vigorously.

After a short pause, Ah Guang suggested: "Well... Anyway, I still have to ask for leave when Zuo will participate in the competition for you in the future. Why don't they think that I am taking leave to watch your game? This reason sounds pretty good It's reasonable."

Zuo Wei thought about it seriously, and then said with some hesitation: "Although this is reasonable, it's just that it's not an option to go on like this... Otherwise, I'd better participate in such competitions less..."

"How can this be possible?!" Before Zuo Wei finished speaking, A Guang immediately objected, "Zuo Wei, you obviously hope to be able to play against other chess players, don't you? We managed to attract the attention of the chess academy. Now With their help, I have the opportunity to participate in the competition, how can I give up easily because of a little difficulty?"

Ah Guang thought for a while and added: "Well... If I become a professional chess player, I should have more free time, right?"

"It seems that I have to continue to work hard..." Speaking of this, Ah Guang couldn't help sighing when he thought of his achievements this month.

After thinking about it in his heart, Ah Guang also relaxed.When the discussion with the person opposite was almost over, he looked at He Gu curiously: "He Gu, is your teacher very fierce?"

"Uh... so-so." Hearing Ah Guang's inquiry, He Gu paused for a second or two before responding with a smile.

So it seems that He Gu's teacher is really vicious... From He Gu's reaction, Aguang came to this answer.

It's really strange, with such a strict teacher, Hegu can still maintain such a lively personality... ⊙_⊙

Although I am a little curious about how Hegu did it, but the important thing now is——

"Hey, He Gu, besides you, does anyone else know that I asked for leave to watch the game?" Aguang asked nervously.

"Don't worry~ Only Yijiao and I know about this matter."

Hearing He Gu's answer, Ah Guang was completely relieved.Then, he looked at the two people on the opposite side with a pitiful expression: "Please keep it a secret for me! Please, please!"

Unexpectedly, the two did not immediately agree to Ah Guang's request.

After looking at each other with Gu and Yijiao, he said in a slightly serious voice: "Shinto, we can keep it a secret for you, we are friends after all."

I knew it!After all, He Gu and the others have always been very loyal~`(*∩_∩*)′

Before Ah Guang could feel completely at ease, he heard He Gu continue: "But, you can't go on like this."

Eh?

Ah Guang looked at He Gu in puzzlement, waiting for his next content.

"Today is the last day of this month's training day. I don't need to say anything about your grades this month." He Gu said in a deep voice.

"Uh...um." Unexpectedly, the topic would turn to this, Ah Guang responded with some embarrassment.

Seeing that Aguang bowed his head in shame because of his own words, Hegu's tone also slowed down a bit: "Although watching the games of masters does help to improve my understanding of Go, I can also learn some coping skills from it. However, this kind of improvement is very slow, and if the level of chess is not enough, even if the whole game is watched from beginning to end, there will not be much gain.”

"So, the best way to improve your strength is to play chess. It is best to play more games with masters."

"Of course, the level of the college students is far from the standard of a master, but it is still enough as an opponent for training. If you make good use of every practice game, it will be of great help to your understanding and mastering Go skills. And You frequently ask for leave to watch the game, which not only affects your own ranking, but also makes you miss valuable opportunities to practice."

After finishing speaking, he added: "What's more, even if you don't need to ask for leave, you can still watch the games of other masters."

"Eh?" As soon as He Gu finished speaking, Ah Guang let out an incredulous cry.

Seeing the unconcealable surprise on Aguang's face, Kazuya explained: "There was a new first-stage series last Saturday, and it was Ryo Toya playing chess with Sensei Zama!"

"Taya?!" Hearing the familiar name, Aguang couldn't help but exclaimed, and then he asked eagerly, "Is there a match for him last Saturday?! What is the new first stage...uh... series or something? What game?"

Although he couldn't stand Ah Guang asking such unlevel questions, He Gu briefly introduced him: "The so-called new first-level series is a game between newcomers who have just passed the professional chess player examination and advanced professional chess players. It can be said that it is the first time for rookies to show up. Although they will take their first steps as professional chess players in April, such a match will be held before then."

"The game is a new game where the black moves first, and the white moves against the black. In addition, this kind of commemorative game is usually not played seriously by high-level chess players, so the overall situation is very difficult for the new players. In the early stage, it is quite favorable. Last Saturday afternoon, Taya and the throne played against Youxuan."

"But don't the academy students still have a practice match in the afternoon? If that's the case, shouldn't they be able to watch the match? Also, they shouldn't be able to enter the game room casually, right? Then how should we watch the match? What was the final result? Taya won Is it?" As soon as He Gu took a breath, Ah Guang asked hastily.

"Hey, hello!" Seeing that Ah Guang threw out so many questions in one go, a lot of black lines appeared on He Gu's forehead, "You asked so many questions at once, how could I possibly be able to answer them all!"

He Gu was right.

Ah Guang smiled embarrassedly, trying to hold back the restlessness in his heart, and patiently waited for the other party's answer.

He Gu took a deep breath, and then replied one by one: "First of all, since the students in the courtyard also have a game in the afternoon, it is really impossible to see all of it. However, if the game goes well, you can still watch it after the training is over. to the second half of the game."

"Secondly, as you said, people outside the game are not allowed to enter. But you don't have to watch the game next to the players! Since there is a camera between Youxuan, the video of the chess game will be transmitted to the press room on the side through the machine , so after the training, as long as you enter the press room, you can see the specific situation of the board on the TV screen in the room."

"In the end, Taya lost last week's match."

After finally answering all of Ah Guang's questions, He Gu was so tired that he lay down on the table.Before he could recover, he heard Ah Guang murmuring in disbelief: "Taya, he actually lost? How could it be..."

Kazuya really didn't have the energy to continue answering the question of Shinto who turned into a curious baby.He pushed Yijiao beside him, motioning for him to answer.

Seeing this, Yijiao had no choice but to take over the explanation work: "Although Zama-sensei is very strong, he didn't let go of the game at all that day, but Taya could have won that game, as long as he defended firmly. Just to your own advantage."

"However, for some reason, Taya did not give up her fighting stance, but kept actively attacking, and finally lost because of too much force."

"This week's Chess Weekly should publish the chess records of the game. If you want to know the specific situation of the game, you can take a look at the store on the first floor when you return to the Chess Academy." Finally he added.

"Taya..." Ah Guang murmured involuntarily.

Hearing that Taya lost to someone else, Aguang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Later, I must go with Zuo Wei to see the game records of Taya's game last week, um.He decided in his heart like this.

Unlike Aguang and Zuowei, the other six players in the Nongshim Cup began intense and orderly preparations after the second stage of the game.

Although each chess player has to face 4 to 5 opponents, no matter whether it is a Chinese or a Korean chess player, everyone invariably focuses on Sai.

As for the reason, it may be because if you are facing other players, you still have a preliminary estimate of the outcome, but if you are fighting against Sai, no one can predict your chances of winning.

After all, Sai's strength is too unfathomable.

Although more than 100 chess records of sai games have been sorted out, people can clearly feel that what those game records can show is only the tip of the iceberg of sai's chess strength.

Because, Sai's strength has been steadily improving.

Although sai has been habitually using past fixed stones for unknown reasons at the beginning of its appearance, it is slightly sluggish in attack.But even so, he has the same strength as Xiu Ce from the beginning.

As he gradually became familiar with and mastered the modern Dingshi, his strength jumped to a new height.

That's not all.Because he is still absorbing nutrients.

In addition to learning the opponent's moves during the game, he is constantly improving his own moves and trying to create new and more effective moves.

Facing such an opponent, if one is not fully prepared, one can only watch Sai easily win the crown while being beaten to pieces.

In order to at least add even a little bit of trouble to Sai's road to winning the championship, Wang Xing and Hua Songli deliberately moved into the Chess Academy, and with the help of their teammates, they started preparing for the battle with the goal of defeating Sai.
