[Soul of Chess] What if

Just after Wu Jiuduan's speech ended, the nine-way chessboard competition started on the stage.And then, the "Golden Trio Armageddon" as the finale of this festival began.

This game can be described as unprecedented in the history of Go, not to mention that the participating players are all important figures in the Go world, and the rules of the game are also very special: the two sides participating in this game are not individuals, but three people. For a team composed of chess players, the game stipulates that each person plays five-hand chess, and then it is the next person's turn. After playing enough five-hand chess, it is the next person's turn, and the cycle continues like this.

Since no one wanted to lose face in front of the teacher's photo, the chess moves of the two sides were tit for tat at the beginning of the game.Seemingly infected by this tense atmosphere, the chess fans in the venue couldn't help but hold their breath, paying close attention to the progress of the chess game.The same is true for Zuo Wei, who is a chess idiot.

Since it was a commemorative conference with chess fans participating, it would be a bit boring to just watch the chess players' games.Perhaps in consideration of this, after Ishida Kyudan put the sunspots on the 6-nine, the game stopped, and Otake Kyudan, who was in charge of explaining the game, proposed to let everyone guess where the next move of white pieces might be.

"Here! Here!"

Seeing that everyone was thinking hard, maybe he forgot that others couldn't see him, Zuo Wei waved his right hand eagerly, and said affirmatively: "It should be ten out of six, twist it off!"

Zuo Wei's sudden sound made Ah Guang come back to his senses from the air.

Looking at the childish Zuo Wei and the commentator who was unaware of Zuo Wei's existence, Ah Guang sighed softly, then slowly raised his right hand, intending to speak the answer on Zuo Wei's behalf.

"White should choose to break it, right?"

"Really? I think White will..."

Before Ah Guang raised his hand completely, the surrounding chess fans raised their hands one after another to express their views on the situation, and Ah Guang's small figure was immediately buried.Seeing this scene, Ah Guang had no choice but to take his hand back in an embarrassing manner.Fortunately, some people have the same answer as Zuo Wei, and the result is exactly the same.

"Hey ≥ ﹏ ≤" Seeing that Bai really played 6 out of [-], Zuo Wei, who realized that he had guessed correctly, smiled complacently, and there was no trace of frustration on his face due to the previous incident.Seeing Zuo Wei like this, Ah Guang didn't know whether he should feel lucky or helpless.

After this interaction, after the start again, the atmosphere at the venue suddenly became lively.Amidst everyone's eager discussion, before we knew it, more than three hours passed, and the ceremony was gradually coming to an end.

"Ah~ I feel so interesting~(*^﹏^*)" Hearing the host's thanks, Zuo Wei sighed deeply.Then, he looked at Ah Guang with a little excitement, "Hey, Ah Guang, after we go back, shall we play the next game like this?"

"There is also the nine-way chessboard game. I really want to play it... Is it good? Is it good?" Zuo Wei shook A Guang while talking.

"I got it, I got it!" Seeing the swaying scene in front of him, Ah Guang hastily surrendered, "After going back..."

"Shinto."

"Wow!!"

Before Ah Guang finished speaking, he heard a voice from behind.Subconsciously, he yelled, and then quickly jumped over, looking defensively at the sudden visitor across from him.

After seeing the person coming, Ah Guang couldn't help being annoyed and said, "Do...do...what are you doing! Taya! Why do you suddenly appear every time to be scary!"

"You scared me out of my heart!" Ah Guang said while stroking his heart with his hands, he took several breaths before finally recovering.Looking at Taya who was at a loss in front of him, he paused for a while before he asked angrily, "You... what do you want from me?"

"Father, he wants to invite you over."

"Huh?" Ah Guang couldn't help but stop.

That's right, the reason why I came here today is the arrangement of Mr. Taya.It's just that Teacher Taya just entrusted Taya to invite him, but he didn't tell himself why he did so.Now he has to go there by himself, thinking that what happened after coming here is the real purpose of letting him come.

Thinking of this, Ah Guang adjusted his appearance, and then responded: "I see."

Following Taya, walked out of the venue, turned a corner, and passed through a corridor, Aguang and the others came to the door of a slightly secluded room.

Taya stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the door, and only after hearing the faint answer from inside, he turned the doorknob.As the door slowly opened, Ah Guang also saw clearly what was going on inside.

There is nothing to say about the furnishings of the room, except that the chessboard and chess pieces are neatly placed on the table, it is a very common hotel style.Of course, Ah Guang's attention was not on it.He was looking at the other person in the room besides Taya Mingren with some confusion—that Mr. Wu who he had met in front of the hotel and was known as the "Showa Chess Master".

When Ah Guang looked at that person, the other person also noticed his existence.The moment their eyes met, Ah Guang hurriedly lowered his head and greeted, "You... hello!"

"So you are the child that the celebrity said..." There was a hint of a smile in the other party's voice.

"Huh?" Ah Guang raised his head and looked at the old man with a gentle face sitting there for no reason, as if realizing something, he suddenly turned his gaze to the celebrity Taya who was sitting on the other side.

Before Ah Guang could ask anything, he heard the old man continue: "Can you play a game with me?"

"This……"

Hearing this proposal, Ah Guang couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

It seems that this person should have heard something about himself from Taya's father, and maybe he has seen the chess records of himself playing games with celebrities, so he proposed to play a game with him.It's just that the person who played chess with Taya's father was Zuowei, not myself. If Zuowei used himself to play chess with this person, wouldn't my previous hard work to conceal it be in vain?:>_<::

However, the person in front of him is the "Showa Chess Master"!Although I heard that his chess strength has declined due to the accident, since he can train a female [-]-dan chess player who can easily beat Xu Zhangyuan's [-]-dan chess player, it means that he still has quite extraordinary strength.Now this almost deified character actually proposes to fight him, what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Hmm... Is there any way to make Zuowei not miss this opportunity without exposing Zuowei's true strength? >_< If it weren't for the presence of other people, Ah Guang would have been rubbing his hair irritably.

Tie Mu... Thinking of the scene of his first chess game with Master Taya, Ah Guang couldn't help murmuring in his heart.The next moment, he felt a flash of light flashing in his mind, and the previous troubles disappeared in an instant.

"Okay." Ah Guang responded, and then sat down on one side of the chessboard.

"Zuo Wei, you can play this game of chess."

"Huh—?!" Hearing what Ah Guang said, Zuo Wei was surprised and puzzled.

Seeing Zuo Wei like this, while feeling funny, Ah Guang couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

Yes, it seems that I haven't let Zuo Wei play chess with others in reality for a long time. Although he didn't complain about anything, Zuo Wei should still hope to play chess face to face with people, right?Otherwise, he wouldn't pester him to play chess with him every day... =_=

"The opponent is a master of chess. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"But..." Zuo Wei was also clear about this, so his expression was obviously shaken when he heard what A Guang said.However, considering Ah Guang's position, he still seemed a little hesitant.

Of course Ah Guang is aware of Zuo Wei's concerns.He coughed lightly, and then said: "However, Zuo Wei, you have to promise me one condition..."

"I am willing!" Zuo Wei agreed without hesitation before Ah Guang finished speaking.

"Hey, hey... listen to me first..." Ah Guang held back the black lines that kept appearing on his forehead, and explained patiently, "It's like this, because I am a child, then the other party will play chess with me." When the time comes, in addition to letting go first, you will definitely let me play a few pieces. But, if this is the case, Zuowei will definitely win for you."

Hearing what Ah Guang said, Zuo Wei smiled embarrassedly, and then he asked: "Then what is your condition, Ah Guang?"

"My condition is—" After a pause, Ah Guang said seriously, "Zuo Wei wants to play chess under the condition that the handicap is doubled to the opponent. Are you willing to accept such a condition?"

"Thank you, Aguang." Zuo Wei said, sitting solemnly beside Aguang.

After knowing Zuo Wei's answer, Ah Guang stretched out his hand to the chess box, and apologized from the bottom of his heart: I'm sorry, Zuo Wei, this is the only way I can think of now... One day, I will make you stand upright. A showdown with the opponent...

"Is it okay to split first?"

"Eh?!"

Before Ah Guang's hand touched the chess pot, when he heard the other party's question, he couldn't help but stop the movement of his hand, and then looked at the other party in surprise.Not only him, but even Taya and the celebrity beside him were surprised.

Why did the opponent neither hand over the ball nor give in first, but proposed to divide first?Did this person see Zuo Wei's strength from the chess game? !

Ah Guang only felt that there were a lot of questions in his mind, but not only was it not the time to ask questions, but there was absolutely no way to ask those questions.what to do?

Before Ah Guang could figure out why, he heard the old man say apologetically, "But I may have to entrust you with the job of catching children."

Feeling the undeniable meaning in the other party's words, despite being full of doubts, Ah Guang had no choice but to grab a handful of chess pieces from the chess jar containing white pieces.

As soon as he put his hand holding the chess piece on the board, the old man put a black stone on the board.Seeing this, Ah Guang opened his right hand holding the chess pieces. He counted, there were nineteen white pieces in total, and the opponent guessed correctly.

That is to say, Zuo Wei is the queen of the white.

"Ah Guang, the other party didn't give way... In that case, should I play?" Zuo Wei's voice was faintly cautious.

"Yeah." Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Ah Guang replied affirmatively, and then pretended to be relaxed, "However, since there is no compromise, then Zuo Wei needs to post the post to the other party."

"I understand."

"Then...please give me more advice." The old man said solemnly.

"Ah... please teach me a lot!"

After the two parties saluted, the old man picked up a sunspot from the chess jar and placed it on the small target in the upper right corner.

"Four of 4, Star."

After Ah Guang put down the white son according to his words, he saw the old man put the black son on the sixteenth seventeenth.

Or small eyes?

Ah Guang snorted in his heart: I always feel that this kind of play is very familiar, is it an illusion?

Although he was a bit puzzled, Ah Guang didn't delve into it. After all, it was in the middle of the game, and it would be bad if he misplaced the chess pieces because of distraction.

According to Zuo Wei's instructions, Ah Guang played a small fly on the third of the 15th.In the next move, the sunspot landed on 3 of [-].

Why is it still small...

etc!This... this is!Ah Guang's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked Zuo Wei in his heart in disbelief: "Zuo Wei, if I remember correctly, this should be Xiu Ce Liu?"

"Exactly." Compared with Ah Guang's astonishment, Zuo Wei's voice sounded very calm.

Hearing Zuo Wei's affirmative answer, Ah Guang couldn't help sighing: "It's unbelievable, I never thought that this person would use Xiu Ce Liu to deal with you... Could it be that he wants to use his own way to deal with him?"

"I can't say for sure yet. It may be a coincidence that the other party did this, or it may be to shake us, or it may be..." After a pause, he continued, "In short, before we know the other party's intentions, all we can do is While consolidating one's own territory, one should not give the opponent an opportunity."

After pondering for a while, Zuo Wei gave the next instruction: "Then, 6 out of [-], one room is high."

Zuo Wei originally thought that the opponent would be at the top of the 16th, but he did not expect that the opponent would touch at the top of the 15th.Afterwards, Heizi made another two-handed pull, a pattern he had never seen before.

Did it appear in modern times?

In addition, what is the purpose of that one-handed external touch?

Just when Zuo Wei was thinking about the opponent's intention, the next move of black chess told him the answer.

It turned out that this was the purpose of the touch.Looking at the black chess piece at 16-[-], Zuo Wei sighed in his heart.

If I take black stones at the 12th thirteenth, the opponent will definitely lead at the 6th fourteenth corner, so white will be restricted.

However, since you already know your intentions, how can I do what you want?

Looking at the radiant old man on the opposite side, Zuo Wei slightly raised the corner of his mouth that was folded by the fan: "Fourteen out of 12, long."

After that, Zuo Wei formed a protracted layout with the help of white 24 and 26 moves. Although black occupied a large field in the 4-[-] circle, since it was only a simple siege, this move was totally unsuitable for White. Is irrelevant.

After White's 17-18 draw, White's situation became broader.White's jump at [-]-[-] directly threatens the base of black on the upper right. Black becomes thinner and creates a crisis. Black's first-moving efficiency has gradually disappeared, and the situation on the board has become more subtle.

Fearing that black would dig out at 13-11, after black jumped at 14-[-], Zuo Wei quickly played a tiger at [-]-[-].

The opponent's next two moves are within Zuo Wei's expectations. After all, if black does not make up moves at the two positions of 18-16 and [-]-[-], the black in the upper right corner will not be able to survive.

Just after the two black moves were settled, Zuo Wei, who had already stabilized his own territory, launched an attack on the upper black move without any hesitation.

Of course, since he is known as the "Showa Chess Master", the opponent will never be an idler.

Facing Zuo Wei's menacing attack, the old man did not sit still.He first made a move on the seventh of the eighth, and when the white was pulled, he twisted it off on the eighth of the seven to avoid further infringement of his territory.

Subsequently, black 93, 95, and 97 were extracted continuously until black 99, and the black and white sides on the board were divided into two.

However, perhaps due to a misjudgment, the black piece that should have been formed at the 9th of the 6ths actually flew at the 2th of the fourteenth. The [-]-eye chess was played, and then the white chess surrounded a lot of the central abdomen, and the white chess was already slightly ahead.
