The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

Liang vs. Yiliu Chess Master.

One is his own heart, the youngest celebrity title winner in the history of Japanese Go.

One is a top chess player who has won the title of Chess Master for three consecutive times, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Staring at the rebroadcast screen, it is difficult to describe my current mood in words.

This chess match is a single elimination match.

In other words, within today, the challenger for the title of the 32nd Little Chess Master will be determined.

If Liang wins, then this episode of the Little Chess Masters title series will be the first time that they will face each other in the title battle as challengers and title holders.

They will play at least three chess games.

in full view.

Play chess together.

Review together.

Live in the same hotel together.

He can openly supervise whether Liang is eating well and resting well.

Even as long as they want, they can be together anytime, anywhere, every minute.

It's so exciting!

It's too... looking forward to.

But...is it possible?

Soon, Guang subconsciously shook his head, then nodded immediately.

—No, it is possible.How could Liang lose?

He has enough confidence in Ryo, and at the same time, he firmly believes that his Mr. Taya will be able to do it.

Hands were clenched under the table.

Guang was unaware of his shaking his head and nodding, but in the eyes of He Gu who was sitting opposite him, it seemed a little scary.

He endured it for a few minutes, seeing that this strange behavior that seemed to be possessed had no intention of stopping at all, and finally couldn't help but said: "I said, Shindo."

no response.

With a light cough, He Gu said again: "Hey, Jin Teng!"

Still no response.

Unbearable, seeing that there are not many chess players arriving in the examination room at this time, He Gu simply moved closer, almost sticking to Guang's ear, and shouted: "Shinto!!!"

The sudden increase in the volume startled Guang, and his body seemed to jump slightly on the chair. Only then did he come back to his senses, and looked at his friend who had been tortured with dissatisfaction.

"He Gu, what are you doing? You scared me to death!" Guang complained in a low voice while patting his chest.

"You still ask me why, why don't you tell me what you are doing first? The whole person is almost stunned!"

"Ah? Yes, is there? How is it possible?" Although his mouth was still arguing, but as soon as Guang touched He Gu's eyes, he immediately looked away guiltily.

He Gu didn't bother to entangle with Guang on this issue, so he sat up a little and asked instead: "But I don't understand, are you so worried that you will meet your family in the title match?"

What "your family"...

Hegu chess player originally wanted to highlight the word "worried", but a certain light clearly misunderstood the key point, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Kazuya looked at Hikari's face and became more and more puzzled: "No, I said Shinto, I'm asking you, is it necessary to be so worried about playing chess with that guy Taya? Why are you blushing?"

"..."

A certain light was speechless, so he had to use "Silence is golden" to express his highest protest.

As a one-day chess game, the entire chess game progressed very quickly.

After both black and white sides started the game with double small eyes, Liang consciously introduced the partial chess game into the battle mode during the layout stage.

Due to the lack of a close-fitting burden, Liang played aggressively with the white piece he held, and quickly turned the upper right black piece into a stupid shape, taking the initiative in the upper battle.

Facing Bai's strong attack, Yiliu chose to take it slowly.

After black was suppressed by white and forced to run out from the center, he made a move to test the next move of white.

In view of the fact that the white chess was working dangerously at the upper left, the shape of the chess is thin, and after taking the initiative, the white chess began to slowly reshape.

And black seized this opportunity and waited for an opportunity to break into the bottom left of the board in an attempt to pose a threat to the three white pieces on the bottom left.

However, the battle in the lower left corner has not yet started, and there is still plenty of room for white to play. In addition, the external momentum of the black chess on the left is not reliable, so the value of this move has yet to be verified.

As of the lunch break, from the perspective of the board, White is slightly ahead.

Follow-up in the afternoon.

Xu Shi was encouraged by the early lead in the morning. As soon as the game started in the afternoon, Bai 112 played a stern move "Lian" at "10 out of [-]".

It is not allowed for white to rush out here, weakening the external momentum of black here, and Yiliu decisively plays a "long" move diagonally below white 112 to block white's attack.

After the "long" hand, the flames of war quickly spread to the upper left.

Black 119 "flies" and tries to develop towards the middle abdomen, and white 120 also responds with "fly" to intercept black's way.

The battle on the left is getting more and more intense and chaotic as the two sides come and go.

Black 125 is still consolidating black's upper left position at "6 of sixteen" on the upper left, but White 126's "shoulder charge" suddenly reverses its direction and attacks the lower left of black.

"No! You can't go here!"

In the examination room, almost at the same time as Bai 126 landed, Guang cried out.

He clearly showed the intention of this move——White 126 wanted to grab the black piece before the black piece on the left to take all. The white 5 placed at the "six" place forms the "elephant's eye".In the game of Go, there has always been a saying that "the elephant's eyes should not be pierced, and two lines should not be pierced", but here the black chess is like a "elephant step", but the center of the "elephant step" can prevent white from invading the middle abdomen, so black 126 will definitely walk in the "bishop's step". As far as white is concerned, black's move through the bishop's eye is very likely to make white's left move passive.

However, it was too late.

I saw Yiliu Zhizi moving forward, and then firmly patted a sunspot on the center of the "Elephant's Eye".

At this moment, the situation of the entire chess game undergoes an extremely subtle change...

Outside the window, the sun is fading.

Although in the closing stage, White's moves were skillful and he reversed the number one after another, but in the second half of the game, the 8-point ground formed by black in the center still helped Yiliu to successfully reverse at the last moment.

So far, after a game that lasted six hours and 27 minutes, Taya Ryo finally lost to a willow chess master by an eye and a half, and missed the 32nd contest for the title of junior chess master.

Due to the convenient transportation near the Chess Academy, Guang Heliang did not drive to the Chess Academy this morning.

After Liang finished the interview and self-criticism, and waited until he was on the first floor, Guang and Liang ate something casually outside, and then took the subway home together.

Guessing that Liang's mood must not be very good, on the way back, Guang deliberately avoided the topic of the chess game, and was afraid that he would disturb Liang's cleanliness by making too much noise, so he didn't say a few words, and Guang was beside Liang Shut up automatically.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, Guang was hugged by someone from behind.

"Don't you have any comforting words to say to me?" Liang put his hands around Guang's waist, his voice was extremely aggrieved, and he gently rested his chin on Guang's right shoulder as if coquettishly.

Liang's straight ball was caught off guard, and he was slightly taken aback in Liang's arms. After he realized it, he hurriedly turned around, but when he saw that Mr. Taya was writing "You How do you comfort me?" With these big words, he became mute again.

The situation today is different from before.

In the past, even though Liang lost chess, he would always want to comfort him, but these were all claims made without knowing whether Liang would accept or need them.

But now it was obvious that Liang was waiting for him to comfort him.

There is no room for bargaining, it must be enforced.

Why is this person so awkward!

Guang was a little overwhelmed, but more happy and surprised.

But Guang has always comforted the bitter hand, in the past few comforts, he has used almost all the comforting methods he knows, and he is unwilling to bow his head to humbly ask a certain female chess player for advice. , Guang blushed slightly, put his hands on Liang's shoulders, and suggested in a low voice: "Then... shall I kiss you?"

Liang didn't speak, just looked at Guang noncommittally, but there was a playful smile on his face.

Heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Guang gulped down his throat, then closed his eyes, and kissed lightly on Liang's lips.

Contrary to Guang's expectation, Liang did not deepen the kiss.

This allows the light to go away as soon as it covers the bright lips.

He opened his eyes again, and raised his head to look at his Master Taya, only to see that the bright eyes were like two pools of dark green sparkling lake water, staring at him pulsatingly.

"Now, do you feel better?"

The heart is still beating fast.

"Well, it's not so sad anymore." Liang looked at Guang, and lightly brushed his lover's pearly lips with his fingertips, but the words he said in the next second were quite different from the soft expression on his face.

"It's just a pity." Liang said, "I just missed such a good opportunity to benefit from public affairs for personal gain."

"..." Guang suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and was taken aback again.A second later, I couldn't hold it back, and laughed "Puhaha" directly on Liang's shoulder, "Liang, you, what are you, haha, hahaha..."

Before that, Guang hadn't talked to Liang about the twists and turns in his heart. He didn't expect that Liang, who seemed to be so public and private, unexpectedly, unexpectedly...

Guang couldn't stop laughing, but obviously Mou Liang didn't think what he said was so funny.

Amidst Guang's laughter, Liang still looked at his little lunatic calmly, then pursed his mouth, and asked Guang like a child with some arrogance and puzzlement: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"No, no. Don't dare." Hearing this, Guang quickly put away his smile, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes as he calmed down.

Seeing that Guang finally subsided, Liang said again: "So, Guang, try hard to win the challenger qualification of this round of Celebrity Tournament."

Facing Shang Guang's eyes, he didn't hear Guang's answer, Liang asked persistently: "Is it okay? Huh?"

How can you say "not good"?stupid~ egg~

Guang cursed in his heart like this, and nodded vigorously at the same time, two clusters of burning flames burst out in his eyes.

"it is good!"

Once the challenger for the title of the 32nd Little Chess Master is decided, it means that the battle for the title of the Little Chess Master will soon follow.

But before that, as the challenger of the 62nd Honinbo Title Battle, Hikari's journey to the Honinbo Title Series has already begun.

On May 5, at the Kai Resort Hotel in Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture.

The 62nd Honinbo title battle is going on the second round here.

According to the previous guessing results, in this chess game, light is playing white, and Kuwahara is playing black first.

Perhaps it was because the chess match was the second round of the Honinbo series. On the first day of the chess match, after more than [-] hands between the black and white sides, a fierce battle broke out in the lower left part.

As of the first day when the game was closed, the two sides temporarily formed a balance of power.

Early the next morning, the flames of war reignited.

Continuing the unfinished battle from the previous day, after the "six of 15" black 141 "jumped" in the lower right corner, Hikari and Kuwamoto Inbo started a field contest in the lower right corner.

On the board, the chess game became more and more tense.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred in the game room.

On the side of the chess pier, Kuwahara Ren suddenly turned pale, and after shaking his body for a while, he fell directly to the chessboard in front of him as if he lost his strength!

"Ms. Kuwahara!!"

In an instant, several exclamations came from all directions in the game room at the same time.

Ren Kuwahara's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously propped himself up on the chess pier, barely supporting his body.

The pawns that originally landed in the lower right corner were propped up like this, and they were all scattered on the ground with a "crash".

But Wuxia took care of the chess pieces scattered on the ground, as if he had forgotten that the chess game was going on at the moment, he hurriedly ran to Mr. Kuwahara with concern, supported his shoulder and asked, "Are you all right? What do you feel uncomfortable now? "

Slowly recovering from the short-term dizziness just now, Kuwahara Jin unceremoniously opened the hands that Hikari put on his shoulders, and said calmly: "It's okay, the chess game continues."

However, considering Kuwamoto Inbo's advanced age, the staff present immediately interrupted the chess game to be on the safe side, and called the accompanying medical staff.

After a general examination of Kuwamoto Inbo, the medical staff said that the old man's dizziness may be due to the short-term lack of oxygen in the brain caused by the huge mental consumption of the chess game, and it is not a serious problem.

Even so, the staff wanted the old man to rest as much as possible.

Kuwahara Ren was very stubborn on weekdays. After listening to the staff's suggestion, he immediately darkened his face and said in a cold voice: "I said it's okay, so it's okay! Keep going!"

In the chess room, everyone wanted to say something more, but in the end they had no choice but to obey the old man.

Therefore, after several coordinations, a portable oxygen machine was urgently called in, and after Kuwahara Ren was connected to an oxygen tube, the chess game continued according to Kuwahara Ren's wishes.

Fortunately, it was close to the lunch break, and after the two sides played a few hands, they entered the lunch break.

Seeing that Kuwahara Ren stood up and walked out of the door as if nothing had happened, Hikaru chased after him worriedly.

"Ms. Kuangyuan, Teacher Kuangyuan!" Guang Zhui yelled several times behind the old man, but the old man didn't answer as if he didn't hear it.

Guang had no choice but to chase after Ren Kuangyuan, and asked twice as loudly as before: "Mr. Kuangyuan, how do you feel now? Is it okay for you to be alone?"

"I said boy!" Probably because he was too annoying to be bothered, Kuwahara Ren let out a low voice, and finally stopped in his tracks.

"You are young, what are you worrying about?" Ren Kuwahara frowned, and his eyes towards the light became colder than ever before, "Don't underestimate the old man!"

Having said that, Guang still couldn't help worrying about the old man's physical condition when the battle continued in the afternoon.

What's more, just now, Hei 161's "receiving" was obviously weak.

Stealing a glance at the old man, Guang's hand that was about to drop suddenly hesitated.

But when he thought of the knife-like gaze of the old man when he looked at him before the lunch break, Guang did not dare to act rashly, hesitated again and again, and still placed the white chess in the pre-planned position, white 162 "break".

In the subsequent chess game, as if to prove to everyone that he was healthy, Kuwahara Jin played every move extremely decisively. When it was nearing the end, he actually provoked a fight again in the middle abdomen and the lower right corner.

It wasn't until Bai 212 that the overall battle came to an end.

At this time, the surface of the disk became extremely fine.

The chess situation is still confusing.

When the black and white sides gradually come to an end, this intricate chess game finally becomes clear.

In the end, Hikari narrowly defeated Kuwamoto Inbo with a slight advantage of half purpose, and successfully won the second round of the Honinbo title in this issue.

However, at the moment when he learned that he had won, Hikari did not feel the joy he expected.

He even felt that his victory this time was more like taking advantage of others' danger and winning without force.

Maybe it was because of guilt, after finishing the interview and self-criticism at night, just looking at the back of Kuwahara Ren walking to the game room alone, he suddenly thought of his grandfather.

He hasn't seen grandpa for a long time.

Comparing Mr. Kuwahara and Grandpa, who is older?

Is the old man... still alone?

In case he gets sick and falls down, who will take care of him, who will help him?

I suddenly felt a pang of sadness in my heart. After saying goodbye to the staff in a hurry, I just took my coat and got up and chased out the door.

"Well, Mr. Kuwahara." Hikari asked as he walked, "Are you going back today? How are you going to go? By plane? Is there anyone accompanying you?"

Kuwahara Ren secretly wondered, when did this Shinto boy become so wordy?

But he was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he gave a perfunctory "um" and continued to walk towards the elevator with his hands behind his back.

Guang did not give up, and chased after him again, and continued to whisper in the old man's ear: "If you go back alone, let me take you. If you find it inconvenient, at least let me take you to the airport or JR station... ..."

Amidst the rambling sounds of light, Kuwahara Jin finally couldn't bear the disturbance, and stopped as light wished.

In the long and narrow corridor, Kamikuwahara Jin caught off guard with slightly cloudy eyes, and became stiff for no reason.

Seeing the old man stretching out his hand towards him, Guang's whole body tensed up immediately, neither advancing nor retreating for a while.

Then he watched as a gentle smile gradually appeared on Kuwahara Jin's serious face, and slowly placed his wrinkled right hand on his head.

"Boy," Kuwahara Ren yelled in a low voice, rubbing lightly on Hikari's head a few times with his somewhat rough palms, and said kindly, "I accept your kindness, but you really don't need to bother." .”

Guang didn't know why, but when he heard this very ordinary sentence, his nose was sore.

He smiled at Kuwahara Ren, nodded vigorously, and then said with serious eyes: "Please take care of yourself!"

So far, after the second round of the 62nd Honinbo title match, Kuwamoto Inbo and Shinto Mitsuko Koki Master both returned to the same starting line with a record of one win and one loss.

And the other side.

After several months of intensive printing, the new book containing Arizumi chess books has finally been confirmed and will be officially released nationwide on June 6.

At that time, major bookstores, chess institutes and Go clubs will sell this set of books, and will arrange a series of signings for chess players, lectures and other activities to cooperate with the listing and promotion of the books.

In order to create momentum for the release of the new book, the editorial department of Go Weekly will also cooperate with Nippon Ki-in to hold a small new book conference on the eve of the book release.

On June 6th, the day of the new book launch.

The organizers invited the chairman of the Nippon Chess Academy, the president of the publishing house, and representatives of several chess players to attend the conference. At the same time, nearly ten chess periodical media were also invited to report on the conference.

On the list of invited chess players, Guang Heliang was also honored to be among them.

It is rare for two chess stars to join together to participate in such an event. Before the press conference, many reporters came forward to greet and chat.

After the press conference started, Mr. Kato Koichi, the chairman of the Board of Directors of the Chess Institute, gave a speech first, and then the president of the publishing house made a speech.

At the end of the press conference, when it was the turn of the editor-in-chief of Weiqi Weekly to make a concluding statement, he seemed to be looking for something, and his eyes slowly moved around the audience.

When his sight met the eyes of Guang sitting under the stage, Guang felt that he seemed to be smiling slightly at him, and then he looked away, looked straight ahead again, and said in a loud voice: "We all know , this set of books is very rare to include ten precious chess records from online chess player Sai. Although there is no information about the contributors in the book, I still want to take this opportunity to be here today. Special thanks to this The provider of Sai chess records—”

He paused for a while, put the five fingers of his right hand together, and then made a directional gesture in the direction of the light with a smile on his face, and said word by word: "Shin Teng Guang chess player!"

——Provider of game records, Shindo Hikari chess player.

——Shindo Hikaru Chess Player.

--Enter.rattan.Light.

……

The last sentence of the editor-in-chief was not loud, but it was like the mountains singing back and forth, pulling back and forth in everyone's eardrums.

In an instant, everyone present looked at the light together.

The world... suddenly became quiet.
