[Comprehensive] Goddess Event Book

A year is a cycle, and human beings live around a year.The vast majority of places in the world follow the Gregorian calendar, and a few places follow the lunar calendar—mainly in China. Originally, Japan also used the lunar calendar, but under the guiding ideology of "leaving Asia and entering Europe" in modern times, it has become the Gregorian calendar.

But in addition to the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar, there are many people in different industries in the world. Because of the particularity of the industry they are engaged in, the nodes of the annual cycle are also completely different.For example, football players, because the only time in a year that can completely relax is the summer break, so summer seems to be the end of the year.

And for Anna, who is a chess player in Nihon Kiin, the end of the year is autumn.In autumn, all important chess games in Japan will be concluded, and matters such as the introduction of new chess players will be completed before then.This is like picking up the last millet in the farming era, and the next step is to sacrifice to the ancestors and gods, and tell them that there is no time wasted this year.

In autumn, the Japanese Go world will hold a general meeting. New chess players will join the ranks, other players will be promoted, and there will be various awards and commendations... It is the year-end summary conference.

All the chess battles must be completed before autumn, so summer is the time when all kinds of chess battles are in full swing.

Anna returned to Tokyo from Gunma, and the closest chess game was quite important.Today's incumbent Tengen is her teacher, the No. 1 player in the Japanese chess world, Ta Yayuki Hiroshi, and she has to compete with another chess player for the right to challenge.

The Tianyuan Tournament is composed of qualifiers, knockouts, and finals. Anna has already passed the qualifiers and became one of the 28 players. In addition to the top four in Tianyuan last year, 32 players participated in the knockout.After four rounds, there were only two players left among the 32 players. They were Anna and another Japanese chess player, Tadaji Ozawa.

Before that, because of Toya Yukihiro's strength, he won many titles in Japan, and because of Anna's rising momentum, many chess games went to the latter part.According to everyone's speculation, as long as it goes well, the master and apprentice will collide many times this year.

The previous chess holy war was considered as the beginning, and it was the last game of the tug-of-war that Taya Yukihiro won in a thrilling manner.Looking at the chess games he won, it can also be seen that the outcome is between the two, and there is no obvious advantage at all.Such a premise has increased everyone's interest, and they have higher expectations for the next master-student collision.

However, some people think that Anna is still a junior rookie in the chess world, and such a strong impact is more because everyone does not understand her chess style.She is also a Chinese chess player. She studied chess in China in the early years, and domestic chess players are even more unfamiliar with her.However, as her Go thinking develops step by step, this advantage will become smaller and smaller.

You don't have to have such high expectations.

In short, Anna is now favored by many people, and badly criticized by many people at the same time.If you want to prove yourself, not to mention grabbing the title from your teacher Taya Yukihiro, you must at least defeat the opponent in front of you, Ozawa Tadaji [-]th Dan, and get the right to challenge.

The vast majority of people think that Anna has a better chance of winning. Although Tadashi Ozawa is a nine-dan player and a senior...but the world of Go is very cruel. Judging from the performance of the past year, Anna has the ability of a first-class player , and is constantly improving, if you meet the strong, you will be strong, and if you perform well, you will be super first-class.Watching her chess, everyone is full of expectations.As for Ozawa Tadaji [-]th Dan, is there any surprise?

Therefore, purely in terms of chess strength, there is not much difference between the two, but almost everyone is on Anna's side.

"As long as Liu Anna does not make mistakes in her third dan." The interviewed chess fan finally added.

Although Anna has been in extraordinary form for the past two years since she entered the stage, she has recently started a chess battle with her teacher.In the end, although she lost gloriously in this cruel tug-of-war, she won three games - from the overall point of view, it is not impossible for her to become the youngest chess master in history, as long as she is lucky...

But things like status are hard to say.

Then again, if Anna really wins the title of Chess Master, there will be a very embarrassing thing.The Japanese rank chess games according to the size of the bonus, and the chess master has the most money so he is the boss.Therefore, it is generally assumed that the one who holds the title of Chess Master is the No.1 in the Japanese chess world that year.

There are also chess players who do not have the title of Chess Master and are considered No. 1 in the Japanese chess world.Especially at the same time when the strength of the incumbent chess master cannot convince the public, everyone has their own accounts in their minds about who No. 1 is.

However, that being said, No. 1 in the Japanese chess world who is not a chess master has always had a bit of a bad name.

If Anna wins the title of Chess Master, then her teacher Taya Yukiyo will undoubtedly get into this kind of trouble.

This can be regarded as a very important match recently. Anna and Ozawa Tadaji [-]th Dan arrived at the Chess Academy very early, and entered the game room after taking pictures for the media at the door.

Because of the importance of this chess game, and because of the "flow" of Anna, the head of the chess world, the media attached great importance to this chess game.There were even TV media dispatched, and they decided to broadcast the chess game live.

Because the chess game takes a long time, it is actually very unfriendly to the TV media.At most, after editing, it becomes a program that is often easier to accept. It is already difficult to rebroadcast it intact, let alone live broadcast!

Of course, the TV media’s live broadcast is definitely not for Ozawa Tadashi’s [-]th Dan—in fact, they are very obvious, treating them like chess players on the surface, but fools can see where the camera is, where the lights are, and where the attention is. .

Anna can be considered to have seen big scenes, she can face all kinds of strange monsters without changing her face, let alone the news media.Before the start of the game, the photographer of the newspaper took a few photos of the chess pieces. By the time these media were arranged by the chess academy, she had already fully devoted herself to the chess game.

Many chess players who care about this game are in the small room next to it - there is a big game room of the chess academy outside, but most of them are students of the chess academy, and only a few professional chess players will be there.As for the place where the boards are hung outside to talk about chess, except for the chess players who are talking about chess, they are surrounded by chess fans, and it is not suitable for them to concentrate on watching chess.

The first half of this game progressed very quickly, from which it can be seen that both sides of the game are prepared and have made considerable preparations.No matter what the situation is, the first thing that comes to mind is 'I'm the main one', and I don't temporarily change the plan I made before.

It was only in the middle of the game that the slowness slowly slowed down, but this slowness was actually one-sided—although Tadashi Ozawa's [-]th Dan did not take the one-hour long test, thinking for a few minutes with one hand happened frequently.All scattered, the speed of the chess game was naturally slowed down.

On Anna's side, she remained the same to respond to all kinds of changes. In the front, she was crackling like she was not rushing to the scene, and she seemed a little unhurried.At this time, she didn't slow down because the situation was much more complicated. She seemed to be living at her own pace, never changing due to changes in the outside world.

It is very simple and difficult to do this. Keeping one's own rhythm without being disturbed by opponents and situations is the basic skill of chess players, and it is also a big difference between professional chess players and amateur chess players.However, those who can really do this are very good, even if they only fully demonstrate this quality in a game of chess.

As for people who have been known for this trait throughout their careers... There are also, but the highlight phase of such people's careers will be very short, because it requires too much focus.To put it bluntly, after a long time, you will lose your energy.

Anna is like this now, and seems to be very stable from the first move.Like the ice and snow on the top of a mountain that has not melted for thousands of years, it is cold and hard, and it will never change in the slightest.At the same time, it will use its own temperature and hardness to extinguish the hope and passion of any opponent until it is cold.

In front of the TV is a pair of hosts, a man and a woman who are both professional chess players - this is also the practice of broadcasting chess games on TV, and the explanations are all in this configuration.Among them, the female chess player is the position of the fan, responsible for playing a less professional role, speaking their questions on behalf of the audience, and the male chess player is responsible for answering.

"Kuwabara Jiudan, it seems that the situation between black and white is still two points on the board. In your opinion, when will this situation be broken?" the young female chess player asked respectfully.

The TV station really attached great importance to this game, and the main commentator invited was the original Kuwamoto Inbo, but Anna couldn't say that after winning the title of Honinbo from him.He is a top-notch chess player himself, with rich experience in Go, and knows Anna and Tadashi Ozawa very well... At his age, it can be said that he watched the whole Japanese chess world grow up.

Look at it with the eyes of the seniors, of course you can see something different.

Kudan Kudan squinted his eyes, on the surface he looked like an unresponsive old man.However, the occasional gleam in his eyes cannot be faked, the younger generation is still far away from him!

Hearing his partner's question, he unhurriedly played his latest move: "Breaking the situation? The situation is already clear, young man."

"Ozawa is hopeless."

"Miss Anna's chess strength has improved very quickly. The level of this game is completely different from her previous one. Maybe the game with the teacher made her a step forward. Young people are like this, changing very quickly, maybe it's just a game of chess Then there's another level of rivalry."

"However, there will always be some instability at this stage—seriously, celebrities like Taya should be preparing to retire. Really wait until the little girl Anna stabilizes, and the children like Taya Ryo will be in their early years. After that, there will be a change of dynasty. Ah." Kuwahara said it very bluntly and mercilessly.

However, female chess players can't answer these words. With Kuwahara's qualifications, he can certainly say that about Toya Yukihiro. To him, Toya Yukihiro must have no temper, and the outside world will not say anything.But another junior in the chess world... dare not, of course not! .

At this time, everyone in the small room next to the bureau room glanced at each other, obviously they all had their own ideas.Kurata Atsushi closed the folding fan in his hand and patted it hard: "Dangerous, really dangerous!"

He wasn't talking about Ozawa Chuji or Anna being dangerous, he was talking about himself.

Atsushi Kurata and Seiji Ogata are considered to be players of the same generation, both in terms of age and record.However, he is different from his peers. In this era when his peers are staring at the seniors above him and thinking of changing the dynasty, he doesn't care about the seniors at all, and sweats for the juniors behind him.

In his eyes, the senior may still occupy the title and reputation, but actually the sun has set. The so-called sunset is infinitely good, but it is only near dusk, and the future is destined not to be theirs.However, the juniors are different. The juniors are the ones chasing after themselves, and it seems that if they don't pay attention, they will be 'downed'.

The young, really young up-and-comers like Liu Anna and Ta Yaliang obviously made him feel a lot of pressure.

"It's probably time to tell the winner here, right?" He stood up and signaled to other professional chess players.

This is obviously a bit arbitrary, after all, no one knows the result until the last move.But the other chess players present did not refute his meaning, the result cannot be determined, but it can be judged.With their brains, they really couldn't think of any problems that would cause Anna to lose the game.

In fact, this is indeed the case, Ozawa Tadao conceded in the middle game, and Anna survived Tianyuan's challenge.Under the arrangement of the organizer, he will have a tug-of-war with his teacher Taya Yukihiro for a period of time in the future, and finally decide the new Tianyuan.

As soon as the news came out, chess fans immediately cheered.All chess games are at their most tense at this stage, and the atmosphere is heating up.And the most important thing in this year's chess game, what chess fans are most concerned about, is of course the master-student duel between Taya Yukihiro and Liu Anna.

If all goes well, they will start multiple duels.The previous chess jihad has already feasted the audience's eyes, and they are looking forward to what may happen next.Chess fans will definitely be disappointed if Anna or Tayakahiro are hindered by other players and fall before the rendezvous.

The seven major chess games in Japan are all news games, which means that the organizer behind them is a certain news media, and the Tianyuan game is no exception.As soon as the news of Anna's victory over Ozawa Tadaji came out, the situation was obvious. Now everyone was concerned about the master-student duel. Instead, it was Ozawa Tadaji and Toyayuki Yoshita... Attention , influence, effect, etc. will all drop a lot!

Now that the results are good, the media is naturally sharpening their knives.

'I'm ready, sir! ' Articles with headlines like this are everywhere, and they seem to have declared war in Anna's place.

'The genius girl's iceberg-like severe cold crushed Ozawa! 'This refers to the chess game that just ended.Sometimes I have to admit that the Japanese media has a very powerful feature, no matter what they can get very passionate about.This kind of passion may even seem excessive to many foreigners who are not used to it, which is quite embarrassing.

Anna had been like this from the beginning, but now she got used to it, at least she learned to ignore it.

"Miss Anna has made great progress in her layout." Zuo Wei put away the chess pieces, covered his lips with a folding fan, and smiled.Kondo Hikari next to him was no longer the reckless kid who couldn't even place chess pieces. Watching the two play very seriously, he learned a lot.

Anna had many chess games during this time, and they were all important.Under such circumstances, it is actually suitable for her to find someone to play some "relaxing chess" to adjust her spirit. On the one hand, she can maintain her hand feeling, and on the other hand, she will not make the state too tense and affect her performance.

There are many people who usually accompany Anna to do this, such as Toyamon, Senior Brother Ogata, Senior Brother Awara, Xiao Liang... But this time, none of them are suitable.This is not because Anna's next opponent is her teacher Ta Yayuki Hiroshi. It should be said that she does not want to touch anyone in the chess world now.

Anna didn't know what to say. After returning from Gunma County, the feeling that was only vaguely existed became more and more obvious.She prefers to be alone rather than with a large group of people she knows, as if humans are not social animals.

Zuo Wei and Anna replayed the game together, pointing to some of the moves: "Miss Anna has a first-rate sense of chess, so she can find the most suitable point in the most complicated middle abdomen. Compared with training, this is more like instinct. Practicing chess is just to discover them. But based on this sense of chess, Miss Anna's chess style is easy to be too jumpy-has this problem been solved now?"

As with Ozawa Tadaji, the style of chess against Anna in this game is very cold and firm.It is not surprising that a chess player shows any style of chess in a game of chess. It is very likely that the focus is on this opponent, or it may be just trying something new.However, it is worth noting that the same feature has been shown in successive official chess games and private games.

Perhaps they have formed a new style of chess.

Judging from the current stage, Anna is stronger in this style of chess.It's like a young player who was originally extremely talented. With his talent, he can always win by surprise. Being a pioneer is very useful.But now, after a series of experiences, they have been able to see the whole situation and are real generals.

There are many armies known for their unique moves in history, but the army that can truly become the king's army often does not rely on strange moves.They are just silent and cold, making each opponent silent.

Anna touched the back of her hand, feeling a little dazed.She understood Zuo Wei's meaning, but it was like a gear that had been used for a long time, and it took a long time to respond: "No, I don't know, I haven't specially practiced the layout-this should be a matter that takes a long time to study, I don't want to be cramming during this time, that might backfire and mess up my rhythm."

This is a realistic situation. In a situation where every chess game is so tight, the safer way is to give full play to one's ability.Rather than improving one's ability, because doing so in a short period of time is more likely to accomplish nothing, and even make the familiar chess style awkward.

The words were true, Zuo Wei lowered his head.What Anna didn't see clearly, he could see more clearly. If it wasn't deliberate, then Anna's state of mind had changed—the bystander could see clearly.

Although Anna will still be as lively and happy as before when facing acquaintances, Zuowei's experience is much more complicated, and he has also met enough noble girls in the Heian era, so he can see the abnormality.

If Anna before was a carefree noble lady, life was full of joy and satisfaction for her, and nothing bad would have anything to do with her.So now, Anna is like a sad maid in the Emperor's Palace, and the world makes them melancholy.

Perhaps certain experiences made Anna grow up quickly, Zuo Wei guessed.And growing up is often painful, just like a caterpillar breaking through a chrysalis and becoming a butterfly, what a beautiful butterfly!However, as gorgeous as the butterfly's wings are, the process of breaking out of the cocoon is as thrilling as it is.Only the pain that exceeds the limit can usher in a new life, otherwise it is not surprising to fail to break the cocoon and die in the chrysalis.

After seeing off Saoi and Hikaru Kondo, Anna sat quietly on the edge of the corridor on the first floor, her feet without socks dipped in the running water.It was dusk, and the sky was a magnificent golden red.

Anna looked in the direction of the sky, as if she saw something behind the clouds.She glanced back at Honmaru's building again... she understood something.

Anna is not a fool, the matter has already reached this point, and of course she has also noticed that there is a secret in herself that she does not know.The first thing she thought of was to seek help from her master, but she hesitated again when she remembered the strange reaction of her master to certain things since the Government of Time contacted her.

She didn't think her master would harm her. If there was only one person in this world that Anna could trust, she would definitely choose her master. After 13 years of upbringing, she firmly believed.In other words, if one day she didn't even believe her master, then her spirit would have been tortured to the point of collapse.

But Master has something to hide from her, and he firmly believes that now is not the time to talk to her, there is such a thing.She knew her master well. If she really had this kind of thought, then no matter how she asked, there would be no results.

The Government of Time, Gao Tianyuan, Hell... One by one, the existences that might understand her situation went through her mind.She had had a relatively deep contact with them before, and she didn't think there was anything at the time. Now that she thinks about it, her attitude is also very strange. She must know something.

"Hell." Anna's voice was low, and she finally made a decision.The Government of Time seems to know the most, but she is always wary of the Government of Time, there is no way, the Government of Time feels that the water is very deep, and the root is not visible.

As for Gao Tianyuan, it is one thing to cooperate too deeply with the Government of Time, and the attitude of the gods before made Anna feel... In short, all kinds of exclusions turned out to be the most suitable hell—it doesn’t seem like you don’t know anything, and it’s not too much. Going deep instead made Anna wary.

A decision is a decision, but how to get what you want to know is another matter.If it was enough to just come to the door and ask, Anna would not be kept in the dark until now.

"My lord, Fox's help is here! There's news about the doll who was going to investigate earlier." Mao Li quickly ran out from the big room, and the little messenger was very active.

"Plan it well." Anna said to herself as she stood up and walked towards the big room.
