[Soul of Chess] What if

Although he was pressing mercilessly on the chessboard, when Shinto lowered his head and conceded defeat, Ogata still inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart.

If he could, he wouldn't want to pursue victory relentlessly in the face of an opponent whose strength was obviously inferior to his own.

It's just that there is no better way than doing this before it is clear whether Shinto is Sai.

Because if Shindo is really Sai, with that kind of strength, it is impossible for him to be unknown among the students as he is now.

Unless he's not doing his best.

If that's the case, then unless Shiro is in an extremely dangerous situation in this game, Shinto will probably keep hiding his strength.In order to avoid such a situation, Ogata had no choice but to chase after him fiercely.

It stands to reason that in such a critical situation, if Shinto really had such a strong strength, it would be impossible for him to endure his own oppression like this, and he would definitely fight back.

However, Shinto lost the game.

Is Shinto really not Sai?

Or is it that Shinto is Sai, and he is indifferent to his provocative behavior just to avoid exposing his strength?

Yes, Ogata suspects that Shinto is Sai.

Even if Shinto lost the game, he did not completely deny this judgment.

Why do you have such an idea?That's a long story.

In fact, since watching the game between A Liang and Sai, Ogata began to pay attention to this mysterious master who suddenly appeared on the Internet, and tried to speculate on Sai's true identity.

Combining the existing inferences on the Internet, the following information about sai can be determined:

First of all, sai is not a professional chess player.Because it is impossible for professional chess players to hang out on the Internet leisurely in the days when there are professional games.

Secondly, the field that sai is engaged in should be related to education, otherwise he would not have a lot of time to play online Go after [-] pm on weekdays, and he can not only rest on weekends, but also enjoy spring vacation, summer vacation and other holidays .

In addition, according to the description of the child in the Morishita family, it can be judged that Sai is a psychologically childish existence. Of course, this may just be a disguise.However, for some unknown reason, he is more concerned about people whose chess skills have suddenly improved significantly, which is true.

Although from the very beginning, Ogata directly ruled out the possibility that the other party was a child based on experience.

It's just that, after all reasonable answers have been eliminated, the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.

After talking with Shinto's father, he realized that there was some kind of connection between Shinto Hikaru and Sai, and he suddenly had a bold guess—could Sai really be a child?

To be exact, is Shinto the sai?

If so, all is explained:

Because Shindo is not a professional chess player, he can still appear on the Internet when there are professional games;

Because he is a student, he can not only go online after school at 03:30 in the afternoon, but also during holidays such as weekends and winter and summer vacations;

Because he is a child, sometimes his tone of voice is inevitably childish, and Ocarina of Time is also an adventure game that boys are more keen on nowadays, which explains why he would think of using this game to shorten the distance;

Because he didn't want his true identity to be exposed, and was worried that other people would accidentally reveal the secret, he used something related to the school festival as an excuse to ask his father to help record his acceptance speech, so Shindo's father Only after listening to the recording will I unconsciously think of the school festival.

In addition, it also makes sense why Sai cares more about people whose chess skills have suddenly improved significantly—because Shindo himself is a powerful existence who suddenly appeared.

Although he couldn't see the game record of Shinto and A Liang, Ogata watched the game against the celebrity, and he probably knew Shinto's strength from it.It is indeed above Ah Liang.

Here comes the question, since he has such profound strength, how could he remain in a state of being unknown all the time?Could it be that he had been in closed-door cultivation before, and now he finally succeeded in cultivation, so he was able to show up?

Well, just kidding, after all, this is not a magical world.

Closer to home, Go is an intellectual game that pays attention to talent. People who are born with a good sense of chess and a good sense of the overall situation, no matter how young they are, may win against high-ranking chess players. equal sign.

It's just that Shindo's chess is obviously made after thousands of times of tempering.

Not to mention whether Shindo has been learning Go since he was born, even if it is true, why have we never heard of rumors about Shinto?

Surely not all the people who played chess with him tacitly did not disclose his affairs?

Or is it that Shindo had only been playing chess with people who were also in seclusion before he became a teacher?

It would be even more interesting if this were true.

In short, Shindo possessed powerful chess power like an epiphany, and then suddenly appeared in the world of Go without warning.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his own doubts that he is particularly sensitive and concerned about those people whose chess skills have suddenly improved significantly.

Ogata's doubts about Shinto have not been completely resolved because he is not sure whether Shinto has really shown his full strength under his persecution.

In order to get a more definite answer, he decided to test it with the recording in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the effect is not bad.Seeing Shinto's astonished expression, the corners of Ogata's mouth slightly raised.

The author has something to say:

The next chapter will reveal Mr. Ogata's intentions.

Ah... I always feel a little uneasy, because some gods have unfolded

Please prepare the lightning rods ╥﹏╥
