[Soul of Chess] What if

"Sure enough, as soon as I came up, someone sent me a game request!"

Looking at the dialog box that appeared on the screen, Ah Guang couldn't help laughing and said: "And every time the game is over, another person will appear immediately, it's almost like waiting in line to join Zuo It's like playing chess for you!"

"Maybe it's true~" Zuowei blinked mischievously.

"Eh?"

Zuo Wei moved a little closer: "Ah Guang, think about it, isn't it a long time since many people sent a request to play chess at the same time?"

"Well... yes..." Ah Guang nodded.

"However, the number of times we play chess every day has not decreased~ and each time the opponent is different. This shows that there are still many people who want to play chess with me! ∩__∩"

"..." Ah Guang thought for a while, what Zuo Wei said seemed to make sense.

"Anyway, Zuowei, you are very welcome!"

"Hey...(*^﹏^*)" Zuo Wei just smiled happily.

"Then, we must strive for a complete victory today, Zuo Wei!"

Zuo Wei nodded vigorously: "Mm~!"

So Aguang moved the mouse and agreed to the game request.

Inside the venue of the International Amateur Go Cup.

The venue is very quiet now.There's no noise here other than a tiny "click" when the mouse is clicked.

Everyone was staring at the tiny computer screen with uncanny concentration.

Even if they want to discuss, they try to keep their voices down as much as possible.

There are also some people who are watching the screen all the time, while rehearsing the current game on the chessboard aside.

Eh?

You asked Morishita-sensei and Kazuya why they didn't make any noise when everyone was discussing sai just now?

Hehe~ How could Hegu, who knows that he has become the target of public criticism, expose himself on purpose~≥﹏≤

As a very smart Hetani boy who always pays attention to the information on the website after discovering the website, of course he learned early on that the players who came to participate in the competition not only competed for rankings, but another purpose was to obtain relevant information about the sai intelligence news.

People on the website brainstormed and sorted out many feasible methods to obtain sai information.There are also many people who suggested that even if the mystery of sai cannot be revealed, they should use these methods to try to find out the Zelda who obviously has an unusual relationship with sai.

He Gu, who has known this news for a long time, of course wants to put an end to all kinds of possibilities of being discovered~ :P

As long as Morishita-sensei doesn't say anything, no one will know that he is that Zelda.

For this reason, He Gu used various methods such as coercion and lure early on, and successfully got Mr. Morishita to agree not to say anything about Sai or Zelda in the competition venue.

In fact, He Gu was too worried.

After all, everyone knows that Master Toya and Sensei Morishita are both people who scoff at Internet Go.

Therefore, even if you want to know something, you will only ask some young chess players~

Who would have thought that Mr. Morishita had already played several games against that mysterious chess player Sai?

After ensuring that his news would not be exposed, He Gu began to watch other people leisurely.

In fact, he suspected that Sai was Ogata-sensei before.

However, because He Gu and Ogata-sensei are not familiar, he has never spoken to Ogata-sensei except for bowing to Ogata-sensei when he met him at the chess academy.And Ogata-sensei doesn't seem to be easy to get in touch with...

Therefore, despite his doubts, He Gu has never been able to find a chance to confirm it.

When the other contestants gathered around Mr. Ogata to discuss Sai, Kazuya kept watching Mr. Ogata closely, trying to find any clues from his expression.

It was the first time for He Gu to do such a thing secretly, and he was not very good at disguising, so he was noticed by Mr. Ogata several times in the middle...

Feeling Ogata-sensei's incomparably sharp vision that seems to see through everything hidden behind the lens, He Gu felt that his little heart was about to pop out of his throat!

Especially at the end, he seemed to see an extremely dangerous smile on the corner of Ogata-sensei's mouth!

Oh my God! ! ! ::>_<::

He Gu didn't dare to look over there.

He moved carefully behind Morishita-sensei, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

Although Mr. Morishita sometimes cheats himself.But after all, I have been under the teacher's door for many years, so the teacher should not turn to outsiders...

What's more, I can still complain to my teacher~^___

As for how the future will progress, will it be as Hegu wishes?

Well, who knows~(>﹏<)

After giving up his seat to Ogata and the others, Frank kept staring at the 19-way chessboard on the screen.

Frank, who is Dutch, is currently working as a professor in a university in his own country.

Ever since he accidentally came into contact with Go, an ancient and profound culture from the East, he has become more and more addicted to it.

With the increasing understanding of Go, Frank's enthusiasm for Go betting has also increased day by day. He even opened a Go classroom in order to teach this skill to more people.

Seeing himself so enthusiastic about Go, his assistants complained half-jokingly:

"Master, does your profession matter?"

"That's right! If this continues, our job as a professor's assistant may be fired!"

Even so, they are still very happy to learn Go from Frank.

Frank, who has studied Go so seriously, of course his chess skills are quite good.

This year is the second time for him to represent the country in the International Amateur Go Cup.

It is not an easy task to participate in the competition.Only the person who won No.1 in the preliminaries can become the representative sent by the country.

In the official competition, more than 50 countries will participate, and each country will send only one representative.And these contestants are also the best amateur players in their own country.

Among the many masters, Frank's performance is not bad.He got a good result of No.6 when he competed for the first time last year.

Everyone said that maybe he could compete with Asian players for the top spots this year!

With the advancement of the Internet, people no longer have to just sit in front of the chessboard and play games as they did in the past, and they don't have to worry about time, venue, opponents and other issues.

It can be said that now you can play against very powerful opponents anytime, anywhere.

Although he has a certain degree of confidence in his own chess ability, in order to be more sure, Frank began to conduct special online training a few months before the start of the preliminaries.

One day, not long after he logged on to the World Go website, someone came to him to play chess.

The name of that account is sai, which is the name I saw for the first time.

In that game, he lost a big game.

In fact, during the game, Frank didn't feel that the opponent was too strong at the beginning, because Sai's chess moves were very peaceful and the layout was very solid.

However, when he came back to his senses, he found that he had lost all his advantages unknowingly, and there was no possibility of reversing his defeat!

This made him break out in a cold sweat, as if his heart was about to explode.

After that, he started to pay attention to this sai.

Go, also known as hand talk.

Frank likes this title very much.

Because in his view, playing chess is like two sides talking with chess pieces, every move of chess is telling something.

Although it was learned from other spectators that Sai refused to talk to everyone, so no one knew Sai's intelligence.

But in fact, through Sai's chess style, you can roughly know his character and behavior.

Sai playing chess has always given people a sense of peace.

He won't win by some fantastic scheme.He relied on his well-thought-out chess moves, slowly gaining real benefits, and finally walked towards victory step by step.

His layout has always been upright, without a trace of treachery.

Sai feels like an ancient oriental aristocrat, with quite elegant speech and behavior, which is pleasing to the eye.He looks weak, but in fact he has a frighteningly powerful strength. Even in the face-to-face encounter, he remains calm and composed.

Although Sai has such a strong chess skill, he has never made people feel arrogant.

Of all the matches on the Internet, sai never wins blindly.After fighting against his opponent a few times, he will continue the next game according to the opponent's strength.

If the opponent is not particularly good, he will play guide chess with the opponent.

You know, it costs at least several thousand yuan to play a game with a professional chess player, and Sai has been recognized as the top player in the Go world.

What a great honor it is to play a game of guiding chess with such a player!

Therefore, despite their lack of strength, many people squatted in front of the computer at the beginning of the month in order to get a chance to play against sai.

Of course, they also know that Sai's time online is extremely precious, so although there is no explicit requirement, everyone will consciously limit the game time to less than one hour.

With everyone's joint efforts, although there are a large number of spectators every time sai plays online, they are always orderly and rarely appear uncivilized.

Uh...except for that Zelda who always jumps in line...

Frank thought that the opponent must be a professional chess player.

I can't see his face and real name on the Internet, and Sai's strength doesn't look like an amateur chess player at all.Frank had heard that professional chess players in Asia sometimes play chess half-jokingly, so he thought that Sai should also be a professional chess player.

But after a while, he dismissed the idea.After all, professional chess players don't have so much time to play chess with laymen.

Since he is not a professional chess player, who is he?

Since Sai claims to be JPN, one of the purposes of Frank's coming to participate in the international amateur competition is to know Sai's true identity.

Unexpectedly, the people here don't even know the existence of Sai, and even question Sai's strength? !

Looking at the arguing crowd, Frank finally couldn't stand it anymore.

That being the case, let you all witness Sai's strength with your own eyes!

Thinking so, he borrowed a computer from the staff.

Although I lost a precious opportunity to play against Sai because of this.However, Frank believes that since he has become a member of the Sai Support Club, he should have a sense of responsibility to safeguard Sai's reputation!

But...it's a pity...that's what I got after squatting in front of the computer for a long time...〒_〒

I guess I will stay up all night again next month... Sigh...
