[Go Soul Natsume's Book of Friends] Guang Xia

Soul of Chess Special Chapter Nineteen

"Mr. Fujiwara, would you like to play Juban chess with me?"

To me, it's a very common question.But the reactions of Zuo Wei and Ta Yaliang are different from ordinary people.

Zuo Wei was shocked, a rare shock that was attached to me in the past, his blue-purple eyes couldn't help flickering, like a hot sword that had just been forged suddenly quenched into the water, and light smoke curled up.The ultimate shock came to an end, revealing a sense of time and distance.

I saw it in my eyes, and couldn't help asking: "What is Juban chess? Do you mean playing ten games?"

Taya explained a few words for me.When I realized it, my thoughts were also shaken, and there was a flame in my chest that gradually exploded along the rope.

I suddenly stood up: "Mr. Taya, the juban chess you are talking about - is it similar to the Yucheng chess of the shogunate era and Wu Qingyuan Kamakura juban chess?!"

No wonder Zuo Wei was so shocked!

Because, in the Edo period a hundred years ago, Honinbo Shusaku rose from the ascending and descending juban chess and became a generation of "chess master"!

During the Tokugawa shogunate, a "chess house" was established, and four top families of Go were born, the Honinbo family, the Inoue family, the Yasui family, and the Hayashi family.In order to compete for the No. 1 celebrity "chess place", they have to play "rising chess" with each other.

At that time, there was no "tie eye" regulation for the advantage of black chess first, so the game alternated between black and white, and one player took turns holding black and white, playing ten games of chess.In juban chess, if you lead four games, the loser will be "downgraded" - in the future, if you play with the same player, your status will be lower by one frame.

"Xingyang, do you know that lifting and lowering juban chess is a competition for the highest honor of chess players—"

Once defeated, Taya Meijin will no longer be No.1 in the Japanese chess world, and will give up all the status and honors to Saoi in one fell swoop.

In the 21st century, due to the extremely fierce competition of Juban chess, except for the China-Korea confrontation once held in China, it has never happened again!

The celebrity nodded, looked at Zuo Wei awe-inspiringly, and said in a low and solemn voice:

"Fujiwara Sakai, do you accept my challenge?"

<<

Until I returned to Daizhen, I was immersed in the shock for a long time and couldn't recover.Just after the round with Taya, I heard Zuowei playing the bamboo flute by the window.

The sound of the flute is majestic and majestic, changing from the previous graceful and lingering sound, with a sound of gold and steel.The flames of the siege of the city just now gradually faded to ashes amidst the sound of the flute.

But the smoke of ascending and descending chess battles will never fade away.Known as the "battle of the century", the ascending and descending juban chess symbolizes the change of the times and is the highest dream a chess player can achieve in his life.

Immersed in our own thoughts, Taya and I didn't make a sound, just playing chess in the room, one game after another.

After playing for some time, I opened my eyes and saw a star of light in the chess room, like a butterfly.

There was an endgame on the board, and Taya curled up on the other side of the board and fell asleep.At this time, the sun is rising in the east.I took off my jersey jacket, put it on him, and tiptoed out.

There is a coolness in the summer wind in the early morning, and the sound of me walking on the porch of Natsume's house.The white curtains are ethereal, and the wisterias in the yard are all in bloom.Thin dew condensed on the pitch-black Liwu hat.Zuowei turned his back to me, and his long purple hair brushed in strands among the flowers.

I can't help but be in a trance.

Did I accidentally break into a dream thousands of years ago, or did the person in the dream come to me today?

Zuo Wei seemed to know that I was coming, so he didn't look back, just said: "Guang..."

I approached slowly, stretched out my hand, and grabbed Zuo Wei's shoulder.

For a time, all the past events, the past and the present, came to my heart.

"Zoe, go play Juban chess."

I know that you have been waiting for thousands of years for this moment.

And I will always be by your side, recording all the chess records for you.
