The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

The second day of the Hualing Cup Chess Tournament.

It wasn't until sitting opposite Taya Yukihiro again that Hikari understood more and more how Zuoi wanted to play chess with him.

It turns out that fighting against a master can really make the cells of the whole body tremble.

Not counting the new first stage match, this is the first time I have played against Taya Yukihiro.

Looking at Toya Yukihiro who was sitting across from him, Hikari couldn't help taking a deep breath.

This time, Toya Yukihiro did not wear a hakama suit, but only dressed in a casual suit.But the aura emanating from him, as if it had been tempered a thousand times, is still daunting.

— Don’t have any distracting thoughts.Don't think about winning or losing.Don't follow your father's chess game.

While waiting intently for the chess game to start, he just recited Taya's words last night silently, and Guang felt that even if he was not by his side at the moment, there seemed to be a figure silently supporting him behind him.

At ten o'clock sharp, the chess game officially began.

After guessing the ball, the light sticks to the black and takes the lead in making the ball.

Without hesitation, the upper left corner, star!

In my impression, this is the second time I have played chess with the boy in front of me.

Even though it has been a long time, Toya Yukihiro still remembers the strong sense of oppression he felt from the opponent when he played against Shinto in Yugen.

There are too many mysteries about this boy, but he doesn't intend to delve into it.Because of all mysteries, Go will answer for itself.

Taya Yukihiro picked up a piece from the chess box, and then used the "star" in the lower right corner as a response.

After the two sides alternately played chess, they both laid out the "Xingxiaomu" layout and gradually surrounded their own territories.

Today's chess game is different from yesterday's. The light is played very slowly, every move is carefully considered, and the chess pieces are only placed after clarifying the back move.

However, this is not enough.

If the opponent is a celebrity, you can't win just by seeking stability...

the other side.

Liang, who also entered the round of 16, played against Chinese chess player Wang Xing today.

After several confrontations, Liang had a general understanding of the opponent's strength.

It is indeed not to be underestimated, but it is not enough to stop him from the top 16.

The contest between the two sides could have been carried out step by step, but Liang had no intention of fighting. The two sides played chess in the middle, and the speed of the moves in their hands unconsciously accelerated.

Noticing that the rhythm of the opponent's moves was accelerating, Wang Xing was slightly taken aback.Although he quickly recovered his composure after a short period of panic, Wang Xing soon found himself feeling a little powerless.

——I don’t know, how is the game between Shinto and his father going now...

"Pa" made a move on the chessboard, and while Wang Xing was thinking, Liang's mind was also quickly thinking about various possible directions after the board.As soon as Wang Xing made a move, Liang responded with almost zero thinking time.

hateful.Is it looking down on people?Wang Xing was secretly dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face.That being the case, don't blame me for being rude!

Have you started yet?

Glancing at the board, at this time, Heizi's territory in the lower left and middle abdomen has not been consolidated, and provoking a melee at this time will only expose his weakness.

But... just what I want!

Seeing the opponent attacking first, Liang also started his own dragon-slaying action without hesitation...

Two 10 minutes later.

Seeing that all the territory in the lower left and middle abdomen that he had painstakingly managed disappeared, Wang Xing finally lowered his head: "...I lost. Thank you for your advice."

"Thank you for your advice." With a calm expression, he put the white pieces into the chess box, and Liang got up and walked to the review room.

When Liang arrived at the review room, besides Ogata and Kurata, who were the first to end the game, there were dozens of other Chinese and Korean chess players already seated, including Xu Zhangyuan and Gao Yongxia.

Seeing Xiaoliang, Ogata took the initiative to show him the chess game between Shinto and Toya Yukiyo from the beginning.

According to the current chess game, the situation is not good for Shinto.

Although the result is within my expectations, Shindo, how will you reverse the current situation?Staring at the TV screen, Liang subconsciously frowned.

Halfway through the game, Heizi was about ten eyes behind.

The area where the boundary has not been clearly defined is only a small area in the upper left and middle abdomen.

According to the usual way of playing, you will definitely only be led by the nose by the opponent. If this is the case, you can only fight with your back!

Light aimed at the central area, and boldly made a "broken" move in an attempt to cut off the interconnection between Baizi, but Taya Yukihiro ignored Light's move and skillfully consolidated his own power with the "point".

Since you want to evade my attack, then I will disrupt your rhythm and make you have to fight!

Once the game starts, the two sides of the game are equivalent to standing on both ends of the giant chessboard.At this time, Hikaru seemed to be transformed into a Japanese warrior, drawing out his bayonet, and approaching Toya Yoshihiro!

However, at the moment when he dropped the chess piece to the white side, Guang suddenly felt a folding fan fall from his side, just behind him, as if there was a figure holding the folding fan to guide him to drop the chess piece on the expected position... …

"!!!"

Guang stared blankly at the sunspot he had dropped on the chessboard just now, then suddenly turned around and looked behind——

However, no.

The scene of tense chess games behind him is still the same, and the staff in charge of taking pictures is still the same, but there is no figure of that person.

How long has it been since I saw you playing chess, Zuo Wei...

The live broadcast in the review room suddenly froze for a long time after Tayao took over.

Just now... what happened?

Although it is possible that Shinto might fall into the long exam, Ryo instinctively felt that something unexpected must have happened just now.

Shinto...

In the ear, the voices of Mr. Ogata and others discussing the chess game continued to be heard, but Liang's thoughts seemed to be still stuck in the doubt just now, and he couldn't get rid of it.

At this point, the chess game is approaching the end.There is not much territory left for Jinteng to compete for.

Although Jin Teng frequently made strange moves along the way, the gap between the black and the white has been narrowed to within five eyes, but counting the gap of closeness...

Before the chess game was over, Liang left the review room first.

Already... there is no other way?

The hands that were originally on the thighs were slightly bent because of unwillingness, and Guang unconsciously bit his lower lip. After struggling several times, he finally lowered his head: "I lost. Thank you for your advice."

In terms of handling the whole game of chess, Guang thinks he has already played his due level.

The outcome of this chess game can only be said to be a true manifestation of the gap in chess strength between the two.Myself, still far away...

Looking at the chess game that has already ended, Taya Yukihiro also seems to be immersed in it and unmoved.

Sai...

This name that I have never been able to let go of, until today, maybe it is time to let go.

Through today's chess game, although it was reconfirmed that the boy in front of him is not Sai, but through his Go game, he can clearly see the shadow of Sai and even Honinbo Shusaku.There is no doubt that in time he will become a dazzling star in Japan and even the world chess world.

Taya Yukihiro couldn't help thinking of a question Xiao Liang asked when he came to his room last night.

——Father, have you been paying attention to Shinto because of his Go, or because... I regard him as an opponent?

Before today's game against Hikari Shinto, Taya Yukihiro did not deny that he paid more attention to the boy in front of him because of the latter.

Xiaoliang's strength, his efforts and hardships for Go, I know better than anyone else.

Before that, he didn't think that among his peers, anyone would be capable of defeating Xiao Liang.Therefore, when he heard that such a young man existed, he was shocked.But what shocked him even more was Xiaoliang's ensuing change.

He had never seen his son care about someone so much.Despite the fear and timidity, he still pursued, regardless of the consequences.

This change really pleased him.And the young man in front of him definitely contributed a lot...

"After the chess game, you are welcome to come to our house to play chess at any time."

There is nothing more exciting than the invitation of Taya Yukihiro.

Hikaru met Taya Yukihiro's eyes, and immediately gave an affirmative answer: "Thank you! Definitely!"

Walking out of the chess game venue slowly, Taya Yukihiro saw his son standing outside the venue, and only patted him on the shoulder, then walked to the room alone.

Bowing slightly in the direction where his father left, Ryo just straightened up when he heard Shinoteng's voice behind him: "To... Ya?"

It was much better than I expected, at least when I saw Shinto again, he was smiling.

"The celebrity is really amazing! My competition this time is over here."

It's hard to say why, but seeing such a calm Shinto, Ryo's heart is half-suspended.

The two walked for a while, and Guangcai asked belatedly: "Is your chess game over? It looks like you won? Then you were standing here just now, were you waiting for me? And...where are we going?" ?”

Guang's last question stumped him for a while.

When he knew the outcome had been decided, Ryo just thought that at least when Shindo finished the game, he could be by his side for the first time.

Whether he is lost or indifferent.

He still had doubts about the pause that lasted for several minutes just now, but he still couldn't ask.

As a result, the two of them walked to the door of the room.

Guang took the lead to enter the house, and Liang followed behind to close the door.

From the moment he entered the room, Guang was silent. He took off his coat, untied his tie, and sat on the edge of the chessboard. All actions were performed with his back to Liang.

Before Liang approached, he heard Guang say, "I saw Sai again, Taya..."

Hearing that Guang's voice was wrong, Liang's footsteps paused slightly.

"I told you, Sai is gone... But today when I was playing chess with a celebrity, I felt that Sai had returned for a moment, and that move was the way that guy is used to..."

So, after making that move, did you pause for that long?

Because his back was facing him, Ryo couldn't see the light's expression.But you can guess it.

Ryo was a little happy to hear that Shinto took the initiative to mention Sai, but it was more distressing.

Walking behind Guang, Liang hesitated for a moment, and finally wrapped his arms around his neck with one hand, brought him into his arms, and gently rubbed his head with the other hand: "Today's game was very exciting."

"?!" Hikari was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at Taya like a curious child.

He couldn't believe his ears.That's... sure?The guy who always scolded himself every time he replayed, today... actually compromised?

Fortunately, I didn't cry.

Liang knew what Guang was thinking, didn't speak, just smiled at him.

As if he had guessed Liang's thoughts, Guang was a little dissatisfied: "You must have thought I would cry just now, didn't you?"

"What do you think?"

It wasn't until Taya opened his mouth that Hikaru realized that at this moment, Taya was less than 10 centimeters away from him.The slightest smile on his face, his eyebrows and eyelashes are all clearly visible.

Guang was at a loss for a moment, so he had to lower his head and muffled in Liang's arms, "Can you let me go? I'm not a puppy."

Liang didn't think so at first, but when Guang said this, the corresponding picture automatically appeared in his mind, and the smile in the corner of his eyes became more obvious: "Well, it's a little bit."

"Ta-ya!!" I always feel that today's Toya is different from usual...

The author has something to say:

Um. Wuli Liangliang started to move her hands and feet, wow...

In other words, writing a chess game is simply ah (zuo) ah (shi)... and writing a chess game, and delusional to write the effect of the storyboard in the comics, is nozuonodie.But "Soul of Chess" is incomplete without Go.So I started to struggle, whether I should write the ×× Cup in the next article, after all, the opportunity is rare, once every four years, but once I start writing, I will definitely cheat myself.Really a touch of sadness QAQ

It will be updated during the National Day. As for when, I don’t know. It depends on the progress of filling the pit. I only wrote more than 1k, so I’m sorry to update it><~~~

Finally, today is the motherland's birthday! !Happy Mama's Day! !Happy National Day everyone! ! !
