[Soul of Chess] What if

Since he didn't know the opponent's strength, Ah Guang chose the cautious and safe start of Liang Lianxing, trying to avoid too big a gap in the opening stage as much as possible.

After seeing the opponent's uncommon layout of Hui Yixing and Gao Mu, Ah Guang couldn't help but look forward to the next battle, and the speed of the layout unconsciously sped up a little.

Later, Ah Guang discovered that the opponent was actually not very strong.

Although Uchiyama's powerful force in 3 of [-] did bother him for a little while, that's about it.

At the 28th move, the opponent made a questionable move. Of course, Ah Guang did not miss this fleeting opportunity. He immediately commanded the troops to launch a powerful attack on the opponent.Because black's attack was too sudden, the defenseless white had no choice but to hastily fight against the sudden enemy.

It's a pity that the strength gap between the two sides is too great. After only two moves, White's defense line was broken, and White was in a predicament.Taking advantage of this opportunity, black quickly established a very solid and thick shape. After black 43 occupied the main points of the overall situation, the advantage of the game was firmly in the hands of A Guang.

Afterwards, although the opponent struggled desperately to recover the disadvantage, they were still unable to succeed under Ah Guang's strong counterattack.Realizing that there would be no chance of a comeback if he continued to play, Uchiyama weakly put down the chess pieces in his hands.

"...I admit defeat." He lowered his head and said these words with great difficulty.

Looking at the slumped look of the other party, Ah Guang couldn't tell what his current mood was.He just calmly replied "Thank you for your advice" and started to pack the pieces on the chessboard.Seeing this, the opponent silently tidied up the chessboard.

"Quick!"

"The loser seems to be a professional chess player."

"As a professional chess player but lost to a college student, this is really..."

Hearing the whispered discussions of the people around him, Uchiyama's hand movements sped up all of a sudden.I saw him hurriedly retracting the chess pieces and covering the lid, then put the chess jar on the chessboard, and then quickly got up and left.

"..."

Seeing the series of actions, Ah Guang was so surprised that he couldn't speak.After being dazed for two or three seconds, Ah Guang quickly cleaned up the remaining chess pieces, then got up and looked around the venue.

"Ok?"

Although most of the people are still sitting in their positions and looking at the chessboard in front of them intently, Ah Guang couldn't help being surprised when he found that Taya's game seemed to be continuing.

Seeing that there were many people watching around Taya, Ah Guang also moved over to have a look curiously.

In this round, Taya clearly had the upper hand.

Although Honda's strength among the college students is not bad, and it can be ranked in the top of a group every time, but such strength is still not enough in front of Taya.

Aguang is not very clear about Taya's current strength, but he can roughly know his real strength in the past.At present, the gap on the board is too big. Even if the opponent is Taya a year ago, with Honda's strength, there is no way to make a comeback. What's more, sitting opposite him is the current Taya who does not know how strong he is. arrow.

After knowing the result of this chess game, and seeing more and more people watching around, Ah Guang simply stopped standing here to join in the fun.Seeing that there was a vacant seat not far away, he and Zuo Wei sat down there, resting and reviewing the match with Uchiyama Chudan just now in his mind.

After listening to Ah Guang's analysis of the chess game and the opponent's strength, Zuo Wei said with some disapproval: "Actually, that person can be considered to have a certain strength, at least he played well in the previous games. The reason why he lost I lost this game because he underestimated the enemy a little bit."

"Underestimate the enemy?" Ah Guang repeated in puzzlement.

"Yes." Zuo Wei nodded affirmatively, "After the top of the black chess, white chooses to draw. There is actually no big problem with this move. After all, it is feasible under normal circumstances. If the opponent is someone else , Maybe it won't have a huge impact on the situation. It's a pity that that level of attack is far from enough for Ah Guang, so that move has become a loss in Ah Guang's view."

"That person didn't know much about Ah Guang's strength in advance. In his opinion, you are just a college student, so he subconsciously didn't think that there would be any mistakes in such a handy approach. It is precisely because of this that he was beaten by you. Unprepared. When he wanted to regain his strength and fight back, he realized that his city was completely lost, and only a few remnants of defeated soldiers were left in his hands. No matter how unwilling he was, he was powerless and could only watch Leading myself step by step towards extinction."

After saying this, Zuo Wei looked at A Guang and said in a serious tone: "If the opponent is a person who knows your strength better, in order to prevent black from having a late move, they will first be at the top of 3 of 6, and then at the top of [-] of [-]." Town, strictly restrict the black chess to the low position, and then take advantage of the black chess to occupy other large fields, so that the game maintains a situation of evenness between the two sides."

"Of course, Ah Guang played very well in this game of chess. Not to mention being able to grasp the momentary opportunity sharply, he was not relentless when it was time to counterattack. This is a good job." Seeing that he was a little frustrated after hearing what he said Zuo Wei stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "The reason why I said this is that I just hope that Ah Guang can take a warning and not easily underestimate any opponent, instead of waiting for the final outcome to regret it. "

Perhaps it was because of Ah Guang's good luck, although the opponent in the second round was a second-dan opponent, it was not particularly difficult to deal with, so at the end of the day, Ah Guang was successfully promoted to the third round.

The next day was the student training day. After the game in the morning, Ah Guang and his group came to a fast food restaurant near the Chess Academy. After ordering, several people sat around with trays.

Just after unpacking the hamburger, Hegu couldn't help but let out a long sigh when thinking about yesterday's competition: "Speaking of which, there were sixteen participants in yesterday's rookie competition, but only four of them passed the first round. There are only two people left in the second round, it feels so desolate."

"Ochi is needless to say, he has become very powerful now, and I have lost to him in a row recently. I didn't expect Shinto to pass the second round." Honda couldn't help feeling emotional.

Realizing that the topic was on himself, Ah Guang said with some embarrassment: "I'm just a little bit luckier..."

"Don't say that, I lost to Zhongshan in the first round. If you really won the second round by luck, then how bad was my luck yesterday..." He Gu said angrily Tucao with.

"Huh—?!" Ah Guang didn't know that Ochiai chess player had played chess with Wagu, and he was at a loss for a while when he heard the opponent say that.

Seeing Ah Guang's reaction, He Gu patted him on the shoulder dumbfoundedly: "Being able to win shows that you have that strength, don't belittle yourself just because of what others say."

"However, for college students, it is a bit difficult to pass the three rounds. After all, only professional chess players have entered the semi-finals." Speaking of this fact, Nase couldn't help but have a hint of helplessness in his tone, " Then again, I didn't expect Shinto to grow to this point without knowing it, and we can't relax before summer comes!"

Just like that, the topic during the lunch break shifted from the rookie competition to the professional chess player exam.

After all, for college students like them, the rookie competition is just an opportunity to test their strength, and the professional exam is the only and biggest goal.

Similarly, the professional chess players who entered the third round did not pay too much attention to these two college students who rushed into the main competition of the rookie competition.

In their view, these two are not so much a threat as they are the best pedals for them to successfully advance to the semi-finals.Because after entering this battle, the college students will not have the discount of playing black first during the qualifiers. Everyone has to guess who will hold the black stone first. In this case, it is impossible for the college students to win.

However, to everyone's surprise, as a student, Hikaru defeated Tsujioka Tadao's first dan and Saeki Mitsu's second and fourth dans successively in the follow-up battle two weeks later, becoming the first player in history to enter the finals students.And waiting for him on the opposite side of the chessboard is the new chess star-Taya Ryo!

And today is the day for the finals of the Rising Stars Competition.

The author has something to say:

Hmm... By the way, it shouldn't be considered cheating for Ah Guang, who has read more chess books, watched more games, played more games, and learned more attentively... (points to finger)
