The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

In Go games, the layout of the game is often planned from the first piece, and if there is a slight mistake, the whole body will be affected by it.

Just know yourself.

Emotional fluctuations are certainly a factor in losing chess, but it is an indisputable fact that the chess strength is still poor.

Especially when facing Mr. Kuwahara.

The only real chance left for him in the Honinbo title battle is the six rounds two weeks later.

Want to hear more opinions and suggestions from top chess players.

But after groping around in his mind, he couldn't even think of who to ask for help in this matter.

Ryo is definitely not good, who knows what kind of fuss he will have; Mr. Morishita is not good either, although Hikari can't explain why; as for Mr. Ogata?That's even more impossible, he sent it to the door automatically, thank God he didn't catch him to question Sai...

When he was in a state of desperation, Guang suddenly thought of a person.

But this idea is really crazy. After struggling with the phone for a whole day, I was trembling, and for the first time, I took the initiative to dial a phone number that had been stored in the phone's address book for a long time.

In the afternoon three days later.Inside Taya's house.

From the moment Mrs. Mingzi opened the door for her, Guang was a little cautious.

After all, this was the first time he had faced Mr. Taya and Mrs. Akiko alone without telling Ryo.

Follow Mrs. Mingzi and stand in front of the chess room.

After Mrs. Mingzi knocked lightly on the door, she opened it and motioned for Guang to enter.

Walking into the chess room under the encouraging eyes of Mrs. Mingzi, seeing Mrs. Mingzi smile at him, then slowly closed the door, turned around, and when his eyes met Taya Xingyang on the side of the chess pier, Guang couldn't help but Still a little stunned, but more of an unspeakable fear and gratitude - when he called Teacher Taya, he didn't know that Taya Yukiyo was in Korea until he confirmed the final visit time with Taya Yukiyo, He only learned indirectly from other places that Mr. Taya flew back to Tokyo specially for himself.

He entered Tengguang, He De and He Neng, and let Mr. Taya treat him so far...

Taking a deep breath, he took a step forward, and after saluting Taya Yuyo with utmost respect, Hikaru stepped up and sat down opposite Taya Yuyo.

But even the simplest greetings were omitted. As soon as Guang sat down in front of the chess pier, Taya Yukio took out two white pieces and placed them on the board, asking Guang to play a game with him first by guessing.

The sound of gold and stone laid out many mysteries on the chessboard of the [-]th Road.

When the round was over, Taya Xingyang folded his sleeves and raised his head to look at the light, but suddenly his eyes were like blades, and he asked light in a deep voice: "What are you afraid of, Jin Teng-kun?"

Guang slightly startled: "I'm not afraid..."

"But your chess retreated when it was time to fight." Taya Xingyang pointed to the middle of the left abdomen, and said sharply, "Here, if you use 'suppression', you can directly prevent the black chess from developing downward, but But you only responded with a soft 'crawl'. Why?"

Speechless.

Facing Taya Yukihiro's questioning, Hikaru opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Replaying the game again, even he himself didn't know why he made such a trick at that time.

As if seeing Hikari's bewilderment, Taya Yukiyo finally stopped pressing Hikari.

Putting the white piece at the "seven of 8" as just said, Taya Xingyang stared at Guang, and said again: "In the game, whoever thinks 'I don't want to lose' first will lose half of the game. Because "don't want to lose" itself is distracting thoughts. The more you want to win chess, the less you dare to take risks; the more step-by-step you are, the easier it is for your opponent to choke your life and attack continuously. And this is you The reason why I have been losing chess recently."

"!!!" As if enlightened, Mao Sai suddenly understood.

Liang had just said that what attracted him the most was his drive.

And he wanted to win chess with all his heart, but he almost lost this most precious quality...

Looking down at the white chess that was being gradually reversed by Taya Yukihiro, Hikaru smiled lightly as if relieved, then slowly raised his head to meet Taya Yukihiro's eyes.

"I have carefully watched your last few games of chess. I don't know why you are so worried, but if it is because you are worried that your relationship will be exposed and affect us, then it is completely unnecessary. "Taya Yukihiro looked at Hikari and continued, "Because you didn't do anything wrong, and you didn't feel sorry for us. No matter what the outside world thinks of you, it won't shake me and Akiko's view of you. I think, your parents Must have thought so."

"You and Xiao Liang, you will always be our pride. And your failures these days will not change my opinion of you at all."

"When you can't go on, don't be brave, remember to look back, we parents will always be your most solid backing."

It was as if the raging wind was suddenly completely isolated by the towering mountains rising from the ground.

Heart, suddenly very quiet.

Since these days, there have been so many voices of doubt, so many malicious slanders and criticisms, even if he lost the game, Hikari did not cry, but after hearing Taya Yukihiro's words, Hikari's eye sockets did not have any room for buffering, suddenly astringent.

Even Guang himself knew that his eyes must be extremely red.

It was only after enduring and enduring that he could barely make a fool of himself in front of Taya Yukihiro.

From the bright sun to the sunset.

In addition to the chess game just now, in the next few hours, Taya Yukiyo analyzed Guangri's recent defeats and his chess moves one by one.

No words can express the gratitude to Teacher Taya in his heart, but only thanking over and over again can best express his mood at that time.

In the chess room with the lights on, before leaving, Guang put his hands on his knees, and once again bowed deeply to Taya Yukihiro to thank him: "Thank you for your guidance today, I have been taught."

"Then, I will take my leave, please stay."

In front of Taya's house, after respectfully saying goodbye to Taya Yukihiro who personally sent him to the door, Hikari walked towards the subway station.

It may be that the confusion in my heart has finally been completely resolved, or it may be that Mr. Taya, who is going to see him soon, is just hopeless. I just feel like I am sitting on a hot air balloon, and my whole body becomes lighter.

He has missed so many games, it's time to pack up and start again.

"Yoshi! Go, HIKARU!"[1]

In the distant sky, a bright star has already emerged.

Hikaru took a few steps towards the starlight above his head, then clenched his right hand and waved his arm to the sky——

Next stop, target Honinbo six rounds, Shirahoshi!

Mr. Kuwahara, my junior Shindo Hikari is sorry for you!

And this scene happened to be caught by Taya and his wife who were watching him go away. Seeing such an energetic light, Akiko couldn't help smiling and asked her husband: "Ah, is he all right?"

He didn't answer Akiko's question, just watched the light drifting away in silence, caught the change of title in his wife's words, Taya Yukio rarely joked: "When did you change your name to 'Aguang'?"

"Oh, I was discovered!" Akiko let out a low cry pretending to be surprised, then looked forward, smiled and stood side by side with Toya Yukihiro, and said, "Ah Hikaru is so cute! Sometimes, I feel much cuter than Xiaoliang !" As he said, he looked up at his husband again, and couldn't help but blame him in a low voice, "Xiao Liang looks like you, so serious!"

Unexpectedly, one day he would receive such a complaint from his wife, Taya Yukio coughed lightly, and immediately drew up a "rectification" plan: "It seems that I will have a lot of communication with Shinto... cough, and Hikari gone."

It seems that it has been a long time since I saw my husband's expression of embarrassment.

Mingzi smiled again, took her husband's hand and said, "It's getting late, let's go inside quickly."

Although Xingyang didn't say it clearly, it will definitely get better.

everything will get better.

When they turned around and walked into the gate together, Akiko looked at the empty street again, then smiled and entered the house together with her husband.

In Xiamang in July, amidst the chirping of cicadas, another drizzling rain fell.

The temperature on the ground rose up, scorching the air until it was slightly distorted.

Just in this rain and heat, the time will soon arrive on July 7.

The six-round Honinbo title match between Hikaru and Mr. Kuwahara also started as scheduled at the Wanghulou Hotel in Tottori Prefecture.

This chess game has reached the final match point of this series.

Whether it is for Hikari Shinto, who has accumulated two losses, or Hitoshi Kuwahara, who has won three victories, it is very important.

The first day of the chess game.

Although the progress of the board is relatively fast, in general, both Hikari and Mr. Kuwahara played more conservatively.

When he was close to closing the chess, he just glanced at the board and was satisfied with his chess.

Just when he lowered his head and thought about what to do next, a staff member suddenly walked into the game room, then bent down and whispered something in the recorder's ear.

During the low-pitched conversation, the recorder looked at Guang from time to time, and his face gradually became serious.

After he nodded to the staff as if confirming, the staff exited the game room.

Although the movement of entering and exiting was extremely light, it was not completely undetectable.

However, looking at Hikari Shindo again, the recorder saw that Hikari was as if he had never heard of it, his brows were still furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the chessboard.

About 15 minutes later, when the game time was up, Hitoshi Kuwahara sealed his hands.

Almost as soon as Hitoshi Kuwahara submitted the game record of sealing hands, the recorder called Hikari out.

In the narrow corridor.

The soft light shone down and fell on the recorder's face, but it made his facial expression unusually dignified.

Just looking at the recorder's ugly face, the originally relaxed expression on his face became serious.

"Is... what happened?"

This sentence was obviously a question sentence, but after asking, Hikaru felt short of breath for a while.

It seems that once these words were spoken, they became an ominous prophecy.

Seeing Guang's sudden pale face, the recorder couldn't bear it, but there was no need to delay, so he had to try his best to relay the content of the call that the staff had just received to Guang in a gentle tone.

Just looking at the opening and closing of his lips, he felt that his brain seemed to be short of oxygen, unable to react.

When the recorder finished speaking the last word, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt that the blood in his whole body was coagulated.

"You, what did you just... say?!"

The author has something to say:

Note [1]: This sentence is actually a pun. The word "HIKARU", on the one hand, refers to the name of the light, on the other hand, the pronunciation is similar to "HIKARI", and also alludes to the light number Shinkansen.
