[Soul of Chess] What if

This is the market commentary venue for the third stage of the Nongshim Cup in Seoul, South Korea.

At this moment, the chess lecture hall that accommodated [-] spectators was full of seats, and even the corridors were crowded with chess fans who came to watch the game.

Today's game is not the final of the Nongshim Cup, so it stands to reason that there should not be so many spectators.The main reason for this situation may be related to the chess players played by the South Korean team in this round.

Because, the person who came to challenge sai today is the No.1 in the Korean Go world-Xu Zhangyuan's [-]th dan.

As No.1 in the Korean chess world, Xu Jiudan's strength is beyond doubt.Before the appearance of sai, in the past international competitions, in the end, he and Taya celebrities often competed for the championship.In other words, Xu Jiuduan is the only existence in the Go world who can be evenly matched with the celebrity Taya who is closest to the supernatural skill.

In this year's Nongshim Cup competition, Xu Jiuduan is the main player, and Sai is also the main player.Therefore, Xu Jiuduan's early appearance turned this game into a duel between Japanese and South Korean players.

Since both sides can be said to be the strongest chess players in the team, once one side loses, the remaining chess players on the team will have no ability to compete with it.Therefore, this game can be said to be a crucial game that determines the future direction of the Japanese and Korean teams.

That's what makes this game so compelling.

Sai is indeed very strong... No wonder Mr. Taya was defeated by a huge gap of 11 and a half eyes.If things go on like this, maybe I will end up in a fiasco...

It was precisely because he knew the importance of this game and realized that the prospect of white chess was not good, Xu Zhangyuan, who was sitting in the game room, unconsciously tightened his clasped hands.

At present, the only breakthrough is at the bottom.After carefully examining the current situation, he came to this conclusion.

Although the previous all-out attack had little effect, it was not without any gains. At least the black chess piece below has now become a lone chess piece.

However, since black has half an eye at the 8th of [-], with Sai's chess strength, it is simply a piece of cake to cure orphans.So it's not really a flaw there.

Sadly, even though he knew there was no chance of winning, he couldn't easily admit defeat.After all, Go is the life of a professional chess player.More importantly, this game is also related to the future of the South Korean team.

In this way, the only option is to attack the black chess below with all strength.Thinking this way, he dropped the chess piece at the eighth of 11.

White's moves from 92 to 96 seem to be intended to oppress the black piece on the left, but in fact, the opponent's purpose of doing so should be to attack the large black piece in the center.

Zuo Wei gently held the folding fan, imitating the next direction of the game in his mind: If I am the leader of the 4th eleven, the opponent will definitely continue to press, which will not be good for me.

Then, it's better to try Bai's hand with one hand of chess first.

After thinking about it in his heart, Zuo Wei gave his instructions: "Fourteen out of five, stop."

"If Sai makes a move here again, this big piece of chess can be easily managed." Looking at Sai's new move, He Gu pointed to the intersection of the fifth column and No.11 row on the chessboard Say it this way.

Yi Jiao also agreed with this: "Yes. In addition, as long as the black chess in the center is alive, the black will be far ahead in the field. In this way, Sai will undoubtedly win."

The conclusions that even the reserve players of professional chess players can see, are of course clear in the hearts of all the national players.

In the review room next to the game room, the contestants and team leaders from China, Japan and South Korea are closely watching the progress of the situation.

"Ogata, it looks like this sai doesn't plan to give you a chance to play." The leader of the Japanese team, Mr. Kuwahara, said slowly after puffing out a puff of smoke leisurely.

Ogata, who had long been accustomed to Kuwahara's provocations from time to time, replied indifferently: "So what, as long as we win."

"Really?" Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Kuwahara didn't intend to stop, "If Sai wins all the way, you will really become the "Prime Minister with Food". Does it matter if someone says that? Ahhh, I never imagined that such a proud Ogata Kyudan would give up his self-esteem so simply and neatly, this is really terrifying for young people."

Hearing Kuwahara's cadenced praise, Ogata felt that the veins on his forehead were about to twitch.He lowered his head and pushed his glasses to hide his gaffe.But in the end, he still couldn't hold it back, so he gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Stinky old man..."

Ogata really couldn't figure out why the Kiin had arranged for Kuwahara to be the team leader.

It should be known that besides contacting the outside world on behalf of the team, the most important task of the team leader is to ensure that the team, especially the players, eat and sleep well before the match, and maintain a stable and comfortable emotional state.

What about Kuwahara?

I don't know what I owed him in my previous life. This guy would make fun of himself whenever he got a chance.Although it is still unclear whether he will have the chance to play, but if he always puts him in such a way, let alone a game, maybe he will go berserk in the next second, okay?

Ogata thought that he hadn't done anything to offend Kuwahara. To be precise, they should have been in a state of being strangers all along.Therefore, Kuwahara's actions are likely to be his personal bad taste!

Wash your neck and wait, old man!In the Honinbo battle, I will definitely kill you!Ogata thought bitterly.

"Ah, sai played a hand here." The owner of the voice said this, and with his slightly immature fingers, he picked up a chess piece from the chess box containing the black chess pieces, and then placed it in the nine out of 11.

Pull the camera back slowly, and when all the scenes are displayed, you can find that this is a room full of Korean charm.

A young man with a mushroom head and a young man with flowing hair were sitting on both sides of the chessboard. What was lined up on the board was the game between Sai and Xu Zhangyuan displayed on the screen not far away.It was the mushroom-headed boy who spoke just now.

"I think Sai did this to prevent Master Changyuan from making a charge in the eleventh of nine." Another older boy said his guess, "But I don't think this move is good."

"Why?" Hearing what he said, the mushroom-headed boy asked.

"Xiuying, look after you." The boy said, picked up the sunspot that was originally placed on the 11th of the 12th, and put it on the [-]th of the [-]th, "If Sai didn't make the hand patch, but here Damn, in this case, how should White respond?"

The young man named Xiuying put his chin on his head and thought about it seriously, then picked up a white stone with some hesitation: "Well...then it can only be played here."

Looking at the white stone on the 14th nine, the other boy nodded in approval, and then placed a black stone on the 15th nine.

The two teenagers were quietly rehearsing on the chessboard.It wasn't until she saw that Heizi quietly landed on 9 out of [-] that Xiuying suddenly realized and let out an "ah".

"Understood?" The young man smiled.

"Well. In this way, the black chess can jump out first, and then Sai will win." After finishing speaking, he looked at the boy who was only two years older than himself in admiration, "Yong Xia, you really It's too powerful!"

"You're exaggerating, Xiuying." Seeing his undisguised expression, the boy named Yong Xia couldn't help laughing.

After taking away the extra pieces on the chessboard, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Even the problems that we can find, there is no reason why Sai can't think of them. Could this be a trap specially arranged by the other party?"

This question is also what Taya wants to know.

Because of the inappropriate complementary move, White took the lead, and Black, who could have been dealt with calmly, also cast a shadow.Then, after only nine moves, the black pieces in the center and left were weakened successively.

The situation has changed so dramatically with just one move of chess.This may be the so-called "one careless move, and the whole game is lost".

"That move shouldn't have gone wrong... What's wrong with you, Shinto?"

On the other side, Aguang is doing his best to make up for it under Zuo Wei's command.His fingertips moved quickly on the keyboard, as if they were flying from a distance.

So, what happened to the previous chess move?

Let's rewind the time to a few minutes ago.

After Zuowei finished his instructions, Aguang selected the corresponding waka in the order of hiragana to the text message.

When he just finished editing and was about to send it out, he was stopped by Zuo Zhi: "Wait, Aguang, the position of this chess move is 12 of 12. If I remember correctly, the No. 11 hiragana should be 'し(shi)' is correct. And the pronunciation of the first character you selected in the last sentence is 'さ(sa)', so the position of the chess piece becomes nine out of [-]."

Hearing the words, Ah Guang counted carefully again, and found that he had made a mistake.He quickly said: "I'm sorry, Zuo Wei, I misremembered it. I'll change it now."

"It's okay. The game is almost over, and that's why we should be more cautious." Zuo Wei stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Ah Guang's hair, "It's really hard for you today, Ah Guang."

However, this warm scene was interrupted before it lasted long.

"What are you doing staring at your phone?"

A curious voice suddenly came from behind Ah Guang.

Ah Guang was taken aback.His body unconsciously leaned back a little due to fright, and in the process, the mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground.Fortunately, he supported the ground with his hands in time, so he didn't lie completely on the ground.

However, before Ah Guang could breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed that the touch in his hand seemed to be a little strange.He turned his head in doubt, and was surprised to find that what was pressed under his palm turned out to be a mobile phone!

Ignoring the culprit behind him, he immediately checked the phone carefully as soon as he picked it up.

Perhaps because of the tatami mats on the floor, the phone didn't look damaged.However, perhaps because of accidentally touching the button, the wrong text message was sent out just like that.

He was about to re-edit a text message to send, but was stopped by Zuo Wei: "No need, Ah Guang. It's too late."

Ah Guang suddenly raised his head, and saw that the sunspot had landed firmly on Nine of Eleven.

The author has something to say:

Hehe, it seems that everyone has guessed the reason for the change in the situation.

Cough, because I couldn’t stop the car when I was molesting (crossing out) Ogata, and because of the debut of Hong Xiuying and Gao Yongxia, I can’t write the plot of the person who assists Ah Guang... (っ╥╯﹏╰╰ ╥c)

Well, I should write about it tomorrow...probably...

Everyone can try to guess, through this chapter, some candidates can already be ruled out (^~^)
