The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

"Guang, during the game later, watch the chess carefully and think clearly before playing."

"it is good!"

"Even if it is a favorable situation for black, we must not take it lightly."

"Uh-huh!"

"If, I mean, if," lowered his body slightly, and lightly clasped Guang's shoulders, "if you encounter a difficult situation, don't panic, don't rush, slow down first, let your mind calm down Come down!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Light, you..."

At the door of the Youxuan Room, Liang Zhi is like a teacher sending off for the exam. Before the exam starts, he still does not forget to tell Guang the last precautions for the exam.

His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, when suddenly a few coughs came from behind the two of them.

Turning around at the same time, I saw Mr. Kuwahara standing behind them without knowing when.

Glancing at the two meaningfully, without even saying a word of greeting, Kuwahara Jin walked straight through the two of them as if provocative.

Watching the old man walk into the mysterious room all the way, until Kuwahara Ren's figure completely disappeared behind the sliding door, Guang turned around again, and asked Liang belatedly: "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

"I..." Liang originally wanted to say a few more words, but after listening to Guang's perfunctory answer just now, he was afraid that no matter how much he said, he might not be able to listen. Seeing Guang's face full of fighting spirit in front of him, he just smiled. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's almost time, let's go in!"

"En!" Chaoliang nodded vigorously, and under the gaze of his lover, Guang followed Kuang Yuanren's pace and walked into the Youxuan Room.

After yesterday's first round of competition, white is temporarily behind black by [-] goals.

Today's continuation, if White wants to reverse the situation, the only way is to constantly complicate the board and wait for opportunities.

And the most advantageous means to create trouble is to rob.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the continuation of the battle, Hitoshi Kuwahara chose the upper right corner of the battlefield where there were abundant materials.

White 144, hit.

But different from white trying to cause troubles, what black has to do now is to simplify the situation as much as possible and expand the empty space.

So the next move is black 145 sticky.

White 146 immediately raises robbery at "14 of sixteen", and Black 147 also responds with "beat".

At this time, the chess game is more than halfway through the middle of the game, and the progress of the game is gradually transitioning to the official position.

Any battle of calamity is related to gains and losses, and even the final victory or defeat.

For the sake of caution, Hikari and Kuwahara Ren did not make grapes here.

Xu wanted to leave this robbery and continue to make troubles in the future. After black 147, white turned around again and continued to search for robbery in the upper left corner - white 148, and then played again.

In the face of White's entanglement, Black 149 connects, White 150 hits, Black 151 hits, White 152 continues to rob at the "eight nineteen" position, Black 8 continues to hit and eat.

By the 153rd move, the black and white sides have completely divided the upper left boundary, and the upper left robbery has finally come to an end.

Baiqi turned his attention to the right middle, and at the same time, it is also the biggest unresolved official piece on the board.

White 154, pointed.

Seeing through Kuwahara Hitoshi's intentions, Black 155 decisively "climbs" a move, White 156 immediately blocks Black's path with a pull, and Black 157 immediately turns around flexibly to get rid of the shackles of White.

So far, the black chessboard has outperformed the white chess by nearly 18 points, and it seems that the victory has been won in advance.

In the examination room.

While a group of young chess players were talking about Hikari's victory, several high-level chess players headed by Taya Yukihiro fell silent one after another.

"It seems that Shinto-kun hasn't discovered the purpose of Kuwamoto Inbo's move." Gently pushing the frame with his thumb and middle finger, Seiji Ogata said suddenly while looking at the broadcast screen.

Hearing this, Kazuya, who was talking to Yijiao, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Ogata Seiji in puzzlement: "The purpose? Isn't the purpose just to rob?"

At this time, after several hands overlapped, on the broadcast screen, black 167 was raised, white 168 "pointed" to continue searching for robbery, and then black and white started a new round of robbery on the right side - black 169 sticky, white 170 Mention, Black 171 "rushes" to seek robbery...

What Ogata Seiji just pointed to was Bai 168 hands.

However, without waiting for Seiji Ogata or other chess players to answer, he watched the live broadcast screen, and as the board continued to advance, Kazuya himself was the first to react.

In the review room, Hegu was not the only one. All the chess players who believed that they had a chance to win just now were dumbfounded when they saw Bai's 186th move!

——It turns out that Kuwahara Ren just made the 168th move, not only as simple as robbery, but also as a foreshadowing for Bai's 186th move.

And at this moment, see you soon!

Black 185 catches, White squeezes 186, due to the sudden tightness on the outside of the black chess, black and white exchange hands invisiblely, and black plays the chess at the corner!

There was a chill in the back of my heart.

Seeing that Bai's 186 move was settled at "16 out of [-]", Guang Tan's fingertips towards Qizhen began to tremble involuntarily.

When black was 167 just now, he shouldn't have responded to white's kalpa!

But now, just because of black 167's robbing, black has lost nearly 10 points in total. ! !

This change was so unexpected that it made Guang Guang dizzy.

He unconsciously clutched the front of his chest tightly, as if he wanted to grab his heart directly.

Taking a deep breath, the light seemed to finally calm down.

Picking up a sunspot with his fingertips, with the next move, Guang landed a stone at "16 out of [-]" as expected.

——In the current situation, black plays chess on the corner, and black 187 has no choice but to "make up".

However, when Hitoshi Kuwahara followed closely and shot Bai 13 at the "five of 188", Yuxuan fell into a deadlock again.

Guang only felt that his face was slowly flushing red, and his heart was beating fast because of the panic, but his hands and feet were getting colder and colder.

how so……

he asked himself.

It's only one step away! ! !

How to do?What on earth should he do?

When people are weak and helpless, they always subconsciously want to find some stories of the strong to imitate or support.

When fighting alone in the huge game room, Hikari involuntarily thought of Zuowei and Ryo in his mind.

Think about how they persevere in adversity, and think about how they will resolve this dangerous situation if they change places at this moment.

However, no use, no use! !

He wants to win, he has never wanted to win so crazily, especially when he is only one step away from the title of Honinbo, but it is precisely because of this almost obsessive desire to win that it makes Guang's mind flustered, and then looks at When facing the chess game, I just feel a blank in my mind.

He suddenly...lost the courage to raise the child again...

In the examination room at the end of the corridor.

The air seemed to freeze, and there was no sound.

All eyes are fixed on the screen;

Everyone is waiting with bated breath, what method Shindo Hikaru will use to turn black chess into safety.

Even the screen in front of him has been silent for 10 minutes.

At this moment, Liang who was sitting closest to the screen suddenly stood up.

He put his hands on the table, as if forgetting that he was in the review room, and whispered to the broadcast screen.

"Light--!"

--Bright?

In the Youxuan Room, it seemed as if he heard a bright low cry coming from across the air, and Guang suddenly raised his head, slightly startled.

But... how is that possible?

Guang slightly lowered his head, Er, a self-deprecating smile was drawn from his lips.

When a person is in a state of extreme emotional tension, he will not have any leisure and elegance to desert or pay attention to other things.

And I have already reached the point of life and death, and I still have the mood to think about that guy...

Shinto Hikari, I'm so excited.

I don't know if it's because of thinking about someone's relationship, my body slowly relaxes unconsciously, and the heat on my face gradually fades away.

At the same time, a voice that originated more than an hour ago echoed in Guang's mind again.

"When you are in the game, watch the chess carefully and think clearly before you play. 』

"Even if it is black's advantage now, don't take it lightly. 』

"In case you encounter a difficult situation, don't panic, slow down the pace first, and let your mind calm down!" 』

No wonder... the bright light this morning feels so long-winded.

While rambling, he was also nervous that he thought he would not be noticed.

It turned out... Liang had already noticed it.

He had long expected that something might happen to him.

This guy is really too much.

Even though he knew that Liang's point of view was entirely out of consideration of the principle of fairness, Guang still couldn't help slandering a few words in his heart.

But...if he really said it, that guy might not be Taya Ryo.

Thinking of this, an almost sweet smile quietly appeared on Guang's face.

That idiot!

One yard owned by a yard.

It was Liang's fault for not "expressing" himself in time.

As if it wasn't enough to relieve his anger, Guang cursed again in his heart.

But it's really unbelievable, just thinking about it like this, it seems that even the psychological defense line that was on the verge of collapse is being recast little by little.

He even brought some broken pots, which were heartless and heartless.

That's it, Guang thought, while adjusting his sitting posture, from the original sitting upright to sitting cross-legged, with his hands resting on his ankles casually.

Lose at most one game.Just think again.It's not like Shindo Hikari can't afford to lose.

But even if it's a loss, the old man made me so sad just now, before losing, no matter what I say, I can't make the old man feel too comfortable winning.

With such a "prank" consciousness, even the fighting spirit that was about to be extinguished just now seems to be rekindled.

Yoshi!Guang took a deep breath, and clapped his hands twice on his cheeks.For the next time, Hikari Shinto, let's work hard to make Mr. Kuwahara feel uncomfortable!

At this time, the timer at hand shows that there are 2 hours and 15 minutes left for black to execute the chess.

After a 10-minute interruption, the black chess finally landed on the chessboard, taking the 189th move, "Eighteen of 8", and raising the robbery!

... mention robbery?

In the examination room, Seiji Ogata raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although at the end of the game, the white chess was reversed by the 6 and a half eyes, and the black chess suffered a heavy loss, but if the calculation is done carefully, the black chess still maintains a weak lead. In fact, Shindo has a simpler way to play.

but……

There was a playful smile on his lips, Ogata Seiji's lens flashed coldly, and the place where he looked was not the live broadcast screen in front of him, but his fellow disciple beside him.

Really interesting.

Every time Ogata Seiji recalled the scene just now, he still couldn't help sighing secretly.

In a public place like today where many chess players gather, Xiaoliang actually called out the name of Hikari Shinto in full view——

light.

Oh, what a "light".

Although he had already known about the relationship between Xiaoliang and Shinto before, Ogata Seiji was still a little surprised when he saw Xiaoliang show too much concern for Shinto in a grand manner.

But what surprised him more, or to be more precise, what made him more interesting was the respective reactions of Xiao Liang and Mr. Taya after the whisper.

Just after the low cry——

There was no trace of embarrassment on Xiaoliang's face.

Even in the face of everyone's gazes, Xiao Liang still looked calm, as if the outburst just now came from pure concern for his rival.

In contrast, Xiao Liang's reaction was within his expectations.

What really surprised him was Teacher Taya's attitude towards this matter.

After seeing Xiao Liang get up suddenly, he only called out "Xiao Liang" in a low voice, and there was no surprise or displeasure on his face, it was more like... more like he already knew the secret between the two of them , and even... even acquiesced in the relationship between the two.

correct!

Ogata Seiji suddenly thought again, I heard that the teacher rushed back from South Korea to watch this chess match, and the previous tiebreaker match between himself and Shindo, the teacher specially adjusted the schedule and flew back from Beijing overnight to watch the game .

In recent years, Mr. Taya's activities have mostly concentrated in China and South Korea. Even before Xiaoliang and his celebrity battle, he had never been to the scene in person, but this time...

With his right hand unconsciously rubbing his chin, Ogata Seiji felt for the first time that besides playing chess, the human heart seems to be equally interesting.

But next to Ogata Seiji, the young chess player who seemed to be the object of observation was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the rebroadcast screen, and all of Liang's attention was focused on the intense match that was going on.

On the live broadcast screen, after black settled on the "eighteen of 8", white 190 immediately settled on the twelve of seven. Stop, and continue to seek robbery!

Actually...down here?

In the Youxuan room, Guangzhizi's right hand paused again.

While the alarm bell was ringing in my heart, my mind was also rapidly deducing the possible subsequent chess game.

According to the current trend, if black plays a move at the "8 of 1" for saving money at this time, and after white pulls at "1 of 5", black must make a move above it, otherwise the official The piece loses a lot, but if black forcibly resists above white's "[-] of [-]" position, and white's "[-] of [-]" position still has a double order to occupy the queen. At that time, black's tip, white's leader, and black's No matter what, you can't prevent "returning", and the chess game will collapse in an instant...

Thinking of this, a thin drop of thin sweat quietly oozes from the corner of Guang's forehead.

Unconsciously, he raised his eyes to look at Kuwahara Ren, and when he caught sight of Kuwahara Ren's sitting posture leaning forward slightly, he was suddenly in a daze.

For a long time, what everyone has seen through the chess records are the calm and decisive chess style of Kuwahara Jin, the undefeated myth of occupying the title of Honinbo for a long time, but after all, he is old and his hair is gray. Or the places that cannot be captured by the camera lens, even though he is wearing a suit and staring down at the chessboard, the slightly bent back of the old man still gives people a sense of vicissitudes that cannot be ignored, but his cloudy eyes are always shining with the sharpest light .

Although he always complains about the old man behind his back, in the bottom of his heart, he is always in awe of the old man.

Not only in awe, but every time I see the old man walking alone and alone, I will feel a little distressed in my heart.

Several times, he almost couldn't help asking the old man why he was so obsessed with Honinbo?Is it because... Xiu Ce's surname is also "Kuwahara"?

However, now is really not the time to care about others.

Guang's thoughts turned sharply, and then he picked up the ball, and slapped it down firmly under Bai 190.

Black 191, hit!

on the timer on the side of the pier.

Time is ticking by underscores, passing by every minute and every second.

In front of the torreya wood chess pier.

The two concentrated figures are still thinking about the chess game in front of them, thinking desperately.

If the longitude is the real space in which all the chess players live—whether it is the Youxuan Room or the review room, then the latitude is the criss-crossing nineteen-way chessboard. When the longitude and latitude intersect, time seems to be invisible.

It wasn't until the staff at the side announced that it was time for a lunch break that Hikari and Hitoshi Kuwahara in front of the chess pier seemed to have no choice but to withdraw from another world of metaphysics.

From 9:12 to 2:[-], only two and a half hours have passed, but the chess game has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although the situation is slowly improving after sorting out his emotions, that mistake is nothing less than a heavy blow to black.

If there is no frustration in my heart, it is absolutely impossible.

Walking back to the lounge alone, just looking at the lunch for the first time, but I can't whet my appetite.

I just feel very sad, very sad.

Barely grabbing lunch, once the person is free, his hands can't help touching the low table where the mobile phone is placed.

A second later, the phone screen was artificially turned on.

Sure enough, the guy didn't send any text messages or make any calls.

Just as agreed.

That's right.While muttering in his heart, Guang flipped through his phone habitually, but he didn't know what he wanted to see. When he came back to his senses, his fingers subconsciously opened the text message editing interface.

"..." So, did I still look forward to receiving news from Liang?

In the lounge, they were silently confronting the mobile phone.

Reason tells Guang that he can't send messages to Liang, and he can't go back on his own.

But after less than three seconds, Guang decided not to make trouble with himself.

He suddenly didn't want to be brave anymore.

When two people are together, in addition to being each other's shield and strength, don't they also hope that when they are weak and tired, there will be someone to rely on, someone to be reliable?

[-] meters away.

As if he had a tacit understanding, just when Liang was holding his mobile phone and hesitating, he suddenly received an extremely domineering text message from "home" on his mobile phone: I ordered you to appear at the door of the lounge right now !immediately!immediately! ! !
