[Comprehensive] Chess God Returns

Takamura likes Go and has been learning Go since he was young. He took two professional exams but failed.Later, as he got older, he gave up his career as a professional chess player, and under the arrangement of his family, he started a nine-to-five office life.However, he has never let go of playing chess. He usually likes to compete with others and learn chess skills when he is free. He has also been the champion holder of the local amateur Go tournament before.

Because he is located in the countryside, the local Go atmosphere is not very good, there are not many people who play Go, and the level of Go players he comes into contact with is only average, so although he is the champion of Go tournaments in successive years, his Go skills are only second-rate, and this Over the past few decades, his chess skills have not improved much, mainly due to the level of circles he has been in contact with, and his chess skills have been limited to this level.

When he moved to Tokyo with his married daughter's family, it was really a mouse falling into a rice bowl, and he was extremely happy.After all, Tokyo is a big city, and the society has a higher degree of tolerance. Any niche entertainment can take root here and find its own position. Go is no exception.There are many Go clubs here, and there are many people who like to play chess. Soon after Gao Cun arrived in Tokyo, he discovered that there was a Go salon not far from his home, and the scale was not small.

After he hastily adapted to life in Tokyo, the first thing he did was to go to the Go club.Then I found out a rather surprising thing, this chess club belongs to Taya celebrity, there are many people who come here to play chess, not only amateur chess players like him, but also professional chess players often come to play chess, Even celebrity Taya and his chess players often come here. When they are in a good mood, they will give advice on the chess skills of the guests, play a game of chess and so on.

Gao Cun has been in the chess club for a few days like a fish in water. His chess skills are good, at least much better than those extremely amateur chess players in the chess club.After he won a few games of chess, he gradually became famous in this chess club, and everyone was willing to accept him as a 'newcomer', and they recognized his chess ability.In fact, to put it bluntly, the friendship between chess players is so simple, those who have played chess are chess friends.Not long after, Takamura met a celebrity Taya who came to the chess club, and got his advice to play a game of guiding chess.

Celebrity Taya has always been Takamura's idol, he can play chess with his favorite chess player, his excitement level can be imagined, of course, the final result of this game of guiding chess is also conceivable, Takamura lost in a mess, this is still the celebrity's intention The result of showing mercy.After a simple review and explanation of the chess game, Takamura's admiration for celebrities became more profound. It can be said that he is the number one chess fan of Taya celebrity in the chess club.Basically, he will collect all the chess records of Taya Mingren, and then carefully arrange the scores, thinking about the intention of each chess move of the celebrity. Although he can't figure it out every time, he has also learned a lot from it.

After such a period of training, Gao Cun's chess skills have improved rapidly.He even occasionally wins over the professional chess players who play here. Although it may be the reason why the opponent didn't try his best, this result is enough to make him happy.If it wasn't because he was too old, he would have wanted to take the vocational exam again.The high-level chess players who often come to the chess club are willing to give him advice when they see his rapid progress, which gives him more opportunities to get in touch with more advanced chess skills and improve himself quickly.

But this Masters match gave him a big blow, Taya celebrity conceded in a good situation.Gao Cun studied this game repeatedly, but couldn't figure out the reason why the celebrity would admit defeat.Some bad rumors have begun to appear in the Go world, because it concerns the idol he has always admired, Gao Cun is unwilling to believe these rumors, but the doubts in his heart are constantly magnifying.Although the celebrity won the fifth game very simply and retained the title of celebrity, Gao Cun still has a grudge about this inexplicable surrender of the fourth game.

With such a depressed attitude, he came to the countryside to relax, and at the same time, he also looked at his former chess friend Da Nan Youzhi.I thought it was over like this, but I don’t know why, now he picks up the chess pieces and thinks of that game unconsciously, and when he thinks about it, he will feel depressed and unbearable, and he can’t calm down at all, he feels a little dazed up.

"Did the celebrity really lose chess on purpose?" Gao Cun hugged his head, pulled his thinning hair, and said painfully.

"No, I don't think Taya Yukiyo is this kind of person. He is the most serious about Go, and he doesn't even have a slight attitude of contempt. How could he pretend to admit defeat? It's absolutely impossible!" Zuo Wei firmly said that he didn't believe those claims either.He had played chess with Tayakahiro, and Zuowei could only feel all the persistence and seriousness in Tayayukihiro's Go, and he would never be such a person who cheats on Go like this.

Thinking of the time when Xiaoguang made an appointment with Tayao for him to play online Go, he said that he didn't like people who hide their heads and show their tails, and he disdains to play chess with people who hide in the dark.Even though Taya lost in the online Go game, he directly announced his retirement as his oath said.How could such an upright and tenacious chess player pretend to admit defeat in the official title match?Zuo Wei never believed it.

"I don't believe Mr. Taya would do this either, but that chess game was really... so weird that I couldn't figure it out." Gao Cun said dejectedly, he had really tried his best, then He has played the game of chess dozens of times in the past few days, but he just can't think of a reason for the celebrity to admit defeat.

"I asked Ogata-sensei, and he said that this chess game is his strength, and he just won, and he won against Taya Meiren in an open and honest manner." Takamura murmured, recalling that he blocked Ogata Seiji in the chess club At that time, he replied, "He told me that although he did not win the title of celebrity, the fourth game showed his strength, and he felt that he had no regrets. But I didn't see that Ogata The teacher's profound layout, I think his chess game is not even as good as the previous two games, I can't figure it out."

Gao Cun shook his head, and he fell into entanglement again.

"Brother Gao Cun, don't think about it if you don't understand it. You have to relax." Da Nan patted Gao Cun Shinxian on the shoulder vigorously to divert his attention, "I said, don't study any chess games, I'll take it with you." If you ride a horse outside for a couple of laps, you will immediately feel better, and maybe you will figure it out when you come back."

"It's fine to ride a horse. I've been bothering you for a long time today. I wanted to comfort you. I didn't expect that I was in a daze. Instead, I asked you to explain me. Sigh~" Gao Cun shook his head, rejecting Danan's kindness .

"That game of chess, can you lay it out for me to see?" Zuo Wei asked suddenly, he looked at Shinxian Takamura with burning eyes, hoping that he could lay out the score for himself to see.I'm really curious, what kind of chess game would make Taya Yukihiro concede in the middle of the game, and what kind of chess game would make Ogata boldly declare his victory.

"Okay, I'll show you." Gao Cun took Danan and Zuo Wei back to the front of the chessboard.He tidied up the messy chess pieces on the board and began to demonstrate the game.

"In the fourth round of the Celebrity Tournament, Celebrity played black and Ogata held white. Celebrity's first move was on the star position in the upper left corner." Gao Cun placed the sunspot on the star position in the upper left corner.Takamura is already very proficient in this game of chess. After all, he has studied it for several days. He put the pieces on the board step by step.

"I met Xiao Liang at the chess club that day and asked him what he thought about this game." Gao Cun said while arranging the score, "Xiao Liang is the son of famous person Ta Ya, Ta Ya Liang, although he is still in the sixth grade My son, but his chess skills were taught by celebrities in Taya himself, and many professional chess players are not his opponents. He usually comes to the chess club to play chess when he is free. I asked him that day, and he said that he didn’t know why celebrities He will lose, but he believes that there must be some reason for this. He also asked his father why, but the celebrity didn't tell him, only said that he would understand after a few more years of practice. Sigh~ In fact, I I am also very willing to believe that there must be a deep meaning behind this game of chess, probably because I am not skilled enough to see it."

Both Danan and Zuo Wei watched the changes on the board carefully, paying attention to the situation all the time, wondering what is so special about this confusing chess game.

"Up to this point, Heizi still has a great advantage. As long as there is no big mistake in the back, Heizi will lose for no reason." Da Nan looked at the gradually plump chess pieces on the chessboard, and said doubtfully, "According to the prudence of famous people, It is impossible for low-level mistakes to occur, how could such a good situation be lost?"

"En." Gao Cun ignored Danan's analysis, although he agreed with his words very much in his heart.He continued to place the chess pieces, but the speed at which he placed them became slower and slower, and he stopped for a while before placing a single chess piece.It's not that he forgot the following footwork, it's just that the more he watched the changes in the board, the more difficult it was for him to accept. In such a good situation, why did Heizi admit defeat?He just pinched a white piece like this, unwilling to let it go for a long time.

Zuo Wei looked up at him, saw his struggling expression, and understood.He clicked on a position in the middle of the chessboard, and said, "White is going to make this move next, right? Then Heizi surrendered here."

"You know!?" Gao Cun looked at Zuowei in surprise, and asked, "Have you seen this game of chess?"
