[Comprehensive] Chess God Returns

Weiqi Weekly Editorial Department

"Ah, the progress information of the vocational exam has been sent again. Let me see it. I wonder if there is a big change in the ranking this time." Editor Jintian took a few documents from the fax machine and said happily.

"Hey, show me too. I was dispatched two months ago. I don't know what stage the vocational exam is now. Is it almost over? Who will pass the exam this year? Is there a Yijiao? I think he is the best among the students in the college, he has been the number one for several years in a row, but it is a pity that he has not been able to pass the exam." Another editor in the office said.

"It's still early. The ninth session has just ended today. There are a lot of people taking the exam this year. There are 27 exams in total. There are still more than a month to get the results." Today's editor waved the schedule in his hand and explained.

"Bring it to me and take a look." Editor-in-chief Amano happened to pass by the editorial office, and when he heard them talking about professional exams, he also came over to join in the fun, "Is it already the ninth game? It seems that we are going to I'm going to arrange an exclusive interview about the professional exam, I've been following the progress of the chess jihad for the past few days, and I don't have time to pay attention to the professional exam, who of you has time to follow?"

"Editor-in-chief, I, I'll go!" Editor Jin Tian immediately recommended himself.He has wanted to go to the professional examination site for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to visit.This time, as soon as I heard that there was an opportunity, I took the lead in responding to this interview task.

"Okay, Jintian, you go. You first interview the teachers of the chess academy to see if they have any promising seedlings, and then see if the candidates with outstanding test scores are willing to accept our interview. By the way, there are still Are there any candidates who have won consecutively? If it is a person who has won nine games in a row, you can also arrange an interview." Amano asked while receiving the exam progress chart from Jintian.

"Yes, there is a candidate who is very good this year. So far, he has won consecutively and has never lost a game." Jintian enthusiastically said to Editor-in-Chief Amano, as if he had won consecutively, "I heard that he is still very young. , it’s amazing.”

"Young? Well, is he the son of a famous person, Taya Ryo? I heard Mr. Yiliu say that he also took part in the vocational exam this time." Amano asked while seeing the progress of the game Then his eyes widened, "I lost, I lost! And I lost the first match, what happened? Who was this Nishimura who was playing against him, and he actually defeated Ryo Taya? "

"I know about this." Other editors in the editing room interjected, "This time the loss was not because Ta Yaliang's opponent was too strong, but because Ta Yaliang gave up the exam in the first game."

"Abandon the exam?" Amano looked at the editor with a puzzled face, and asked him to explain his doubts. He couldn't understand that Ta Yaliang would abandon the exam.

"Editor Amano, do you know sai? It's the sai who is very popular on the Internet recently." The editor didn't answer directly, but instead asked.

"Sai? I've heard it from a few friends. Why is it related to him?"

"That's right, Taya Ryo missed the first day of the professional exam just to play against him on the Internet." The editor was a little excited when talking about it, "You don't know, that time against him The game was wonderful! Let’s not talk about sai, he is the most legendary chess player on the Internet recently, Ta Yaliang can’t be underestimated, he is worthy of being the son of a celebrity, it is estimated that he will inherit his father’s career in the future, and he also has the talent to be a celebrity. I saw that chess game at my friend's place. I played it for more than three hours, and the whole process was full of amazing moves. I couldn't stop at all. I almost forgot to go to the bathroom. It was really amazing. "

"Speaking seriously, why don't there be toilets!" Amano saw that he was going too far, and hurriedly urged him to get down to business.

"Hehe, didn't I watch too much at that time? Sai is a recognized master. Let's not talk about his chess strength. I think Taya Ryo's performance this time is more exciting. After all, he is not very old. This age group is absolutely outstanding. Although I lost in the end, I believe it was an absolutely good game. Therefore, although Taya Ryo missed the first exam, it is completely understandable. I'm very sure, don't you think he won eight games in a row? If it were me, I would rather play chess with Sai, but..." The editor said here, sighed, and didn't continue said.

"But what?" The others in the editorial room were terrified. They finally had something new, and the speaker was still hiding it. Every minute, he wanted to wake him up and let him tell the truth as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, you should know about this, but something happened later, so it wasn't widely known, so not many people knew about it." The editor slowly explained, "I After watching this chess game, I thought it was a big news, so I immediately found the editor-in-chief Ohara and told him about it. I wanted to report it on a page, with a catchy headline, such as a celebrity son fighting an online chess player or something like that. I thought it would be easy to pass, even if there is no report, at least publish the wonderful game record. But the editor-in-chief Ohara disagrees, he thinks that Ta Yaliang missed the professional exam because of playing chess with online chess players. It’s not worth advocating, so let me stop reporting it. I’ve written all the manuscripts, but I didn’t publish them in the end. I’m really, alas, ~ so sad.”

"Nagasawa, how do you go to the editor-in-chief Ohara? It's always difficult for him to submit manuscripts there. Why don't you give it to the editor-in-chief Amano?" Everyone in the editorial room laughed and joked, "Editor Ohara is in charge. It’s the social edition, he definitely doesn’t want news like yours, only high-ranking news is valuable.”

"Didn't I just forget it in a hurry? At that time, the editor-in-chief Amano was not there, so I had to find the editor-in-chief Ohara. It's been so long now, and if you talk about it, the news value is not high." The editor Nagasawa who broke the news said dejectedly.

"It's okay, you collect more information, and I can make a special topic for you at that time. When Taya Ryo is admitted to the profession, you can also talk about it. Or it would be good to make a special topic for sai on the Internet, he He is also very popular recently, and many foreign chess players know him and think he is the most powerful chess player in Japan. If you work hard, the news is valuable.” Editor-in-Chief Amano encouraged.

"Yes, I will work hard." Nagasawa said happily, "The editor-in-chief, can I work with Jin Tian on the special topic of the professional exam? I really want to interview the candidate who has won nine consecutive victories."

"Go, let's all go together." Amano agreed with a smile, looking at these energetic young people in the editorial department, he felt full of hope.There are newcomers like Taya Ryo in the Japanese Go world, and their editorial department will be dominated by young people in the future.

"Yes, editor-in-chief, you don't know, the player who has won nine consecutive victories is Fujiwara Sakai, and he is just a junior high school student. And I asked about his match arrangement, and his No. 12 opponent is Taya Ryo , The match is only a week away, I'm really curious who is better among them?" Jin Tian said with a little expectation.

"It must be Taya Ryo. He is the son of a celebrity. I heard that his level has long been a professional, but he didn't take the exam. You see, after he missed one exam, didn't he win eight consecutive victories?" said The editor who gave this answer is definitely a fan of Taya Celebrity, so he loves his son very much.

"I think it's Satoshi Fujiwara. You can see that he has been playing very stably. In the second game, he even won the No. [-] student Ikaku. This shows that his chess strength is not much. If he plays against Ryo Taya, he may not lose." Another editor came over and said.

"Everyone, stop arguing. It's not even a comparison. What are you arguing about? Do your job well and collect more materials when you have time. I heard that Mr. Kuwahara recently said that he would never give the title of Honinbo to the young people nowadays. People, who of you have time to interview him." Amano said seriously, and began to assign tasks to everyone.

"..." Upon hearing about the interview with Honinbo Kuwahara, several young people in the editorial department shrank their necks, unwilling to stand out.Everyone knows Kuwamoto Inbo's weird temper, which is notoriously difficult to deal with, so everyone would rather go to other places for interviews than take over his cass.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself, I don't feel relieved to leave it to you." Amano shrunk his head into a turtle's head when he saw him, and shook his head helplessly, "Ms. Kuwahara is actually very kind, who are you listening to?" Was he grumpy?"

"..." The editors collectively shook their heads and remained silent.Do you need someone else to tell you this kind of thing? Seeing Mr. Kuwahara's old chrysanthemum face is scary, okay? In addition to his treacherous "hehe" smile, you are really scared to pee every minute.Who dares to interview him?Just asking a question, he just held his squinting eyes and looked at you slantingly, unable to say anything after that.Everyone in the editorial department felt the same way, and they all refused to interview Kuwamoto Inbo.

"Let's check the progress of the vocational exam. Mr. Kuwahara, I'd like to trouble the editor-in-chief..." Kaneda said weakly, "I really want to interview that Fujiwara Saku."

"Forget it, I'm leaving first. If you want to interview Fujiwara Sato, go ahead. If you can't come up with interview materials by then, don't blame me for being rude." Amano laughed angrily at these boys, and waved He left the editorial room with a wave of his hand. He still had a lot of things to do, but he didn't have time to argue with these young people.

"Yes!" After watching editor-in-chief Amano leave, the editorial room became lively, and everyone was discussing who would win the professional exam.The result of the discussion was that Toya Ryo, Fujiwara Sawa, and Ikaku were unanimously considered by everyone to be the most likely to pass the exam today, and everyone was eager to prepare the interview drafts of these three people.

Satoshi Fujiwara, who was favored by everyone, did not disappoint. In the tenth exam, he killed the No.10 student in less than an hour. At the same time, he is also a disciple of Mizoguchi's 1th Dan sect. Mashibamitsu continued to maintain the winning streak , is No.[-] among the current candidates.

In the tenth round, Ta Yaliang still maintained the record of nine consecutive victories. Yijiao, He Gu, and a candidate named Komatsu Yuu all had good results and lost two times.

Just when everyone thought things would go on like this forever and the winner gradually became clear, an accident happened.

After Zuo Wei and Yi Jiao and Gu broke up at the intersection, they went home separately.Because she is already very familiar with the route here, and Zuowei has been in good health recently, Michiko Fujiwara did not insist on coming to pick up people, so Zuowei went home by herself recently.

Zuo Wei walked home slowly, in a good mood, because he just tortured a nasty ghost today, and he hanged his dragon not long after the start, forcing him to surrender.This is the first time he has played such a ruthless game since the vocational exam, and he is still very gentle and encouraging to others. This man named Zhenchai really wants to die, and he speaks so badly, as if everyone owes him millions.

Zuo Wei was planning to go home and report today's results to his mother, but at an intersection not far from home, he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was a bit wrong.The sunlight above his head seemed to be blocked by something inexplicably. He slowly raised his head, only to find that several huge creatures enveloped the sky.

Mom, what the hell is this!
