The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

Outside the game room, the sunlight kept slanting westward.

In stark contrast to the environment of birds singing and waterfalls in Chunshan Villa, there is no other sound in the entire Japanese room except the sound of falling children.

Even the two figures sitting in front of the chess pier seem to be drawn into a certain empty and silent painting together.

Time, slowly advancing to 2:50 pm.

On the chessboard, 149 moves have gradually fallen.

At this time, there are 2 hours and 27 minutes left in Ryo's chess execution time, while Ogata Seiji's remaining chess execution time is less than 1 hour.

But two hours in the afternoon, the situation on the board has changed several times.

After repeated rounds of chasing and intercepting by black chess just now, the white chess piece at "13th Eleven" is difficult to play alone. If the chess piece is not replenished in time, the black chess piece on the right is very likely to form a 60-mesh gap, which is disadvantageous for white chess piece.

At this point in the game, the 150th move has become White's urgency.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

The index finger and middle finger of the right hand probed into the chessboard several times, and returned several times in vain.

As if consciously glanced at the timer at hand and adjusted his breathing, after a long test lasting three to ten minutes, Liang finally took the 10th hand.

Nine out of 14, touch.

White 150 is closely attached to the black chess below, trying to break out from the middle of the black chess.

Seiji Ogata calmed down for a "long", and immediately, he seemed to see through the next move of the black piece. After the black piece grew, the white piece decisively pulled back and forth, and the black piece quickly returned to defense. With continuous pulling, white 160 further breaks through black's blockade, and when white 162 "jumps", white finally successfully emerges from the encirclement.

On the board, the chess game gradually leads to the final stage.

Although when escaping from the siege, the black chess took advantage of the situation to save the 4 sunspots that were in danger in the middle area. In the subsequent battles, the whole chess game still slowly tilted towards the white chess's victory.

But right now, it is still a situation where the small players compete for victory.

On both sides of the chess pier, there is no slack on anyone's face.

Because as authorities, they know better than anyone that the victory in front of them is nothing but a spectacle.

A slight storm on the surface of the lake may cause thousands of waves!

In the examination room.

Guang only felt his mouth dry, he lowered his head and grabbed the mineral water bottle on the table, and took a big gulp into his mouth.

Today's chess game is the second day of the 32nd celebrity title six-round match.

As long as Liang wins this round, he will successfully defend his celebrity title.

On the contrary, once Ogata Seiji captures Shirahoshi, the rhythm of the entire series will be completely disrupted. At that time, this chess game will have to be dragged into a thrilling seven rounds, and the pressure on Liang's shoulders will undoubtedly be overwhelming. will be heavier.

Before the start of this chess match, both sides knew that a bitter battle was inevitable.

But at that time, neither the players nor the spectators expected that this chess game, which seemed to be coming to an end, would be so long.

3:37pm.

The recorder raised his hand to signal that Ogata Seiji had 10 minutes left to play chess.

At this point in the chess game, the scorer officially entered the two-player system [1], and Ogata Seiji's side... began to count down the seconds [2].

What?Mr. Ogata... there are only 10 minutes left?

In the examination room, Guang looked at the wall clock in astonishment.

Ryo actually... has forced Ogata-san to this point...

Still staring at the rebroadcast screen with good eyes, I have experienced dozens of title battles, but this is the first time I have witnessed in a title match that one side almost completely exhausted the time of playing chess before the end of the game exhausted situation.

After entering the countdown, the already tense atmosphere in the game room became more solemn and stuffy.

On the board, just as black eliminated the robbery on the left and returned to the top of the middle to make up for the breakpoint, White suddenly launched a attack with 184.

The 184th move, shoulder charge, together with a line of White 186, White 188 below, and the white chess pieces on the left, are as straight as a copper wall and an iron wall, surrounding the 5 black chess pieces on the upper left.

Black Qi suddenly came to his senses and made amends in time.

However, it was too late.

Because of the miscalculation of this move, the upper left black has a net loss of 5 points.

And this is undoubtedly worse for the black chess with 6 and a half eyes [3]!

In the 181st move, black should not eliminate the robbery!

If black 181 chooses to respond to the robbery, the board may be pushed to a more complicated robbery, and then the upper left black chess will not be hit hard!

Ogata Seiji felt a chill in his heart because of this thought.

But as expected of Fox Ogata, after only a few seconds of panic, he immediately calmed down.

Quickly scanning the board, Ogata Seiji immediately dropped a ball on the left side.

1 of twelve, black 195, off.

Now that I have lost Sangyu, I will try my best...to gain it in the east!

Since then, the battlefield on the board has changed several times.

From the left, to the right, and then from the right, back to the center.

Although Ogata Seiji kept trying to stir up troubles by robbing and invading, at 214, it was still white's victory.

But 3 minutes later, that is, at 5:26 pm, the staff sitting on the side of the game room raised their hands again.

Taya Ryo's master chess holding time is also only 10 minutes left.

So far, both sides of this chess game have entered the countdown stage.

In a sense, both black and white are back on the same starting line again.

No, to be precise, the current situation is still more favorable to Liang!

In the examination room, the muscles all over Guang's body were tense to the extreme, both tense and excited, as if the meridians distributed in all limbs and bones were clamoring restlessly under the increasingly hot skin.

Touched by Yang Hai's words, after returning from Beijing, he and Liang would conduct fast chess training whenever they had time. The rules were based on the many commercial chess games played today. Minute countdown time, overtime penalty.

Although he had played a 10-second blitz chess game with Liang Heshe during the Beidou Cup, after all, it has been many years since then.

I am used to the slow pace of title battles, and now I am back to fast chess training. At the beginning, I was really uncomfortable and scratched my heart and lungs.

People who don't adapt, not only have light, but also light.

In the initial stage, it is not uncommon to make stupid moves due to limited thinking time.

The sense of uncertainty and oppression, as if a whip could be whipped towards him behind him at any time, almost frustrated Guangxin for a time.

Later, it was an obsession that made Guang persist.

——What Liang can do, he must also do.

not to mention……

He suddenly thought of himself when he first entered the chess world.

At that time, he was very naive.

He thought that if he defeated his opponent and captured Baixing, everything would be fine.

It wasn't until he stepped into the cycle and saw a brand new landscape that he realized that when facing more opponents whose strength was equal to his own, or even far higher than his own, in many cases, the real opponent was actually his "self".

The reason for his final failure is often his timidity, nervousness and weakness in the process of playing chess.

It is precisely because he clearly knows the sense of urgency that the sword hangs on the top and whips behind him at all times, that he understands what Liang is facing at this moment.

After lunch break, from 1:6 pm to nearly [-]:[-] now.

Continuous high-intensity chess games, high concentration without any distraction for a long time, have already stretched a person's nerves to the extreme.

At this time, or further ahead, starting from the countdown stage, what the two players are competing for is not only the level of chess strength, but also their own physical strength, mental concentration and calculation accuracy as a chess player.

Sitting in front of the rebroadcast screen, watching Liang Xia play one wonderful move after another, Guang suddenly understood where Liang's strong resentment came from when he couldn't play against him.

I'm really unwilling...

Watching the wonderful battle between Ryo and Mr. Ogata on the broadcast screen, Hikaru couldn't help but imagine again and again, if at this time, the person sitting opposite Ryo was himself, how would he dominate the chess game?

Occasionally at a certain moment, he even felt a little bit strongly jealous of Mr. Ogata.

But I can't blame Mr. Ogata, I just know it.

After all, in the face of emotional management, I am still an out-and-out loser.

At this time, on the broadcast screen, the chess game has reached the 214th move.

Just when everyone thought that White's victory was no longer shaken, the situation on the board suddenly changed.

On the right side, Black 217 "strikes and eats", and White 218 responds to robbery. Up to this point, the overall rhythm is still under White's control. However, in the next move, Black 219 raised his backhand, and the sword pointed directly at White on the upper right. Chess, White is alert, White 220 has to passively make up a stone on the upper right.

So far, White loses first.

Afterwards, the battle temporarily calmed down, black made up 225 and 227, and white continued to consolidate its advantage in the middle.

Up to the 230th move, white is still at the back.

However, not long after the chess game was peaceful, in the 233rd move, black again swung the upper left and counter-killed white with a "shoulder charge".

The black and white sides immediately launched an offensive and defensive battle on the upper left, white 234 "lean", black 235 "pull".

Up to the 239th move, black's "flail" tightly sealed the white's move, and white was forced to block at 240.

Finally came the 241st move of black chess.

In the chess room, Ogata Seiji raised the corners of his lips, and immediately landed a stone firmly at the "three fourteen".

Black 241, pointed, see the picture!

The black dragon who was nearly slain from the upper left to the middle abdomen, quietly created a glimmer of life for himself without the white chess noticing, and even blazed a way to kill the white chess!

Black chess... unexpectedly, alive? !

In the examination room, the naked body suddenly leaned forward, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Looking back on the dozens of moves just now, from black 217 to 241, black made a feint first to seize the upper hand, and then further induced white to make an eye and escape.

I don't know if it's because the chess game was too thrilling, or because I drank too much water, but just looking at it, I suddenly feel like going to the toilet...

However, at this moment, when the battle is at its most intense, how could he walk away at the moment when the chess game might end in minutes?

What's more, he doesn't even know if he really "needs"...

The Adam's apple rolled slightly, and after Guang moved his body unnaturally, he locked his eyes on the broadcast screen again.

Originally, he didn't want to eat in the examination room, but his stomach was already groaning, so Lu Yuan finally took out the biscuits he bought from the convenience store during his lunch break, and began to eat bite by bite.

Halfway through eating, he suddenly remembered Shinto who was sitting opposite him.

Because of the "kinship" relationship with Xiao Liang, Lu Yuan unconsciously took more care of Guang.

Worried that Guang would be hungry, Lu Yuan gently called Guang's name, and when he wanted to share with him, he found that... Guang couldn't listen to him at all.

With the light imprinted on the bottom of Lu Yuan's pupils, he could only see his eyes fixed on the screen, his body leaned forward, his left hand on the table trembled slightly as if it was too tense.

Lu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he laughed.

At that moment just now, he seemed to see Xiaoliang's shadow on Shinto's body.

When facing an opponent he cares about, he is also so engrossed, as if there is no one else around.

The so-called "subtle influence" is probably like this.

Maybe it's because of my past mentality.

During the game, you will not feel hungry.

Take ten thousand steps back, even if you feel hungry, you will definitely not want to eat something before the game is over.

But it was so unbelievable, at five past six o'clock in the evening, when the white chess successfully resolved the black chess attack in the center, it was as if a certain nerve had been flicked by someone, Liang suddenly raised his head, as if thinking of something, Slowly looking at the snacks and tea brought by the staff at 3:[-] p.m., then casually picked up a piece of Meiji chocolate on the dinner plate, peeled off the wrapping paper, and gently put it in his mouth.

Still have to eat.Liangxin said.

Otherwise, his light must be worried.

Time enters November, the closer to the winter solstice, the shorter the days and the longer the nights.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, in Chunshan Villa, the lights are on.

In the game room, although the black chess has recovered a little bit of decline on the board, the white chess still maintains a weak lead.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the chess game finally broke through the 300-hand mark.

The total number of hands this time can already be recorded in the top three in the previous celebrity battles, and the long chess game is still going on.

At 7:24 in the evening, Liang shot the last white stone in the game.

The 316th move, 5 out of [-], white "relies".

So far, the 32nd celebrity title six-round battle is over.

Unlike the last time a celebrity title was claimed.

No more uncertain hesitation and lack of self-confidence.

There is no need to verify your guess by the reaction and expression of the staff.

Never had such a strong premonition.

The moment the chess piece was dropped, it was as if an invisible force poured into the body, flowing from the limbs, through the heart and hair tips.

Liang knew that he had won.

He has successfully won the title of the 32nd Celebrity Battle.

If it is said that winning the title of celebrity is the first step of his self-realization, then successfully winning the celebrity title is the goal that Ta Yaliang really wants to achieve.

And today, after 365 days and nights of hard work, he finally did it.

When the number of eyes was finally counted, and White indeed won with a slight advantage of 1 eyes, Liang felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling for it.

Knowing that there are still a series of interviews and replays waiting for him, he can't help but want to rush out of the game room to embrace the figure he has been thinking about.

As it turns out, Liang could have pretended pretty well.

He can face the camera gracefully and calmly deal with all boring and stereotyped questions and interviews just like after any chess game in the past.

If you didn't receive that text message.

If he could control himself and not check that text message.

However, he failed to do so.

During the interview interval, the moment he clicked on the text message, he could no longer control his ecstatic heartbeat.

Qiang Zuo raised his head calmly, he needed to go away and make an emergency call, so Liang walked quickly to the safe passage on the other side of the corridor, under the eyes of everyone, passing through the reporters.

In the safe passage on the second floor of Chinzanzhuang, Guangzheng was leaning against a wall with his head lowered.

The entire safe passage, because of the silence, has no light at all.

Suddenly, the voice-activated light came on.

Hearing footsteps, Hikaru stood up straight.

The next second, the fire safety door was opened.

Against the backdrop of the lights, the eyes that see the person coming clearly are as bright as fireworks.

"How did you get out?"

"Is the reporter ready to interview?"

"Need not--"

The joy and excitement on his face were beyond words, before he could finish asking the question in his heart, he was completely taken into Liang's arms.

Press the light onto his chest with a strength almost embedded in the bone.

Buried into the side of the light's neck, greedily breathing in the familiar breath that only belongs to the light.

Liang couldn't help thinking that he had heard someone say that some buildings with a long history would slowly accumulate aura over the years, and then become some kind of "carrier".

As a result, some memories that only "human beings" should have been buried by the torrent of time will be preserved through these "carriers", and will always be attached to the place where the story takes place.

At this moment, just hugging Guang so tightly, Liang felt that the gods in Chunshan Villa suddenly brought him back to the moment when he stepped into the safe passage last time.

Same here.

It is also the light that has been waiting for him for a long time in his arms.

The mood is completely different, not only because this time I successfully defended the title.

The love for light seems to be deeper.

How to describe this feeling?

It may already be similar to a perverted paranoid.

He clearly has enough self-confidence to control his emotions and expressions in front of others, but when facing the light, he is completely helpless.

Emoticon management failed.

Emotional management is zero.

I didn't even dare to look at my expression when I was thinking about the light.

It must be obsessed and shy, and also giggle inexplicably from time to time.

Guang, you must not know, ever since I discovered my love for you, your name has been engraved on my heartbeat.

From "into the vine" to "light".

Every minute and every second of every day.

Every time this fiery heart beats, it rejoices and jumps for joy because of your existence.

Ears and cheeks were already burning red.

Standing on the same spot, he also raised his hands and hugged Liang's back tightly.

How long did this hug from Liang last?

It could be 3 minutes, it could be 5 minutes, it could be longer than "a long time".

When Liang finally let go of Guang, Guang raised his head to look at Liang through the light.

He saw it, and he smiled brightly.

He had never seen Liang show such a smile before, it was a smile full of joy and complete release after defending the title, childish, cute, and extremely brilliant, a pair of dark green pupils were as bright as a timeless and gorgeous Milky Way galaxy.

He heard him call his own name like a child: "Light!"

"Hey."

"I won! Light! I won!"

He felt Ryo about to jump up.

"Hey."

"Light (hikaru), light (hikaru), light (hikaru)!!"

"Hey hey!"

For some reason, a bright little figure in the kindergarten and wearing a blue doll shirt suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

In the voice, there is a complete childishness, and it seems to have a sweetness like smeared with honey.

Guang's white eyes are about to roll to the sky, why is this person so childish! ! !

But... what else could he do?

People make their own choices, so Guang had no choice but to respond with some distaste while smiling.

Suddenly, remembering that the most important thing hadn't been said to Liang himself, Guang quickly turned serious and added seriously: "Congratulations, Chess Taya Chess Player, you have successfully won the celebrity again—hey! What are you doing!!!"

This time... Before I could finish my words, my bare feet left the ground suddenly...

"Hey, calm down! Idiot!! Put me down!!"

Bright's arms are very strong, and he has known this for a long time.

In the safe passage where the lights were flickering and dimming, Liang was hugging his waist tightly, spinning round and round in the small space, Guang felt no fear at all in his heart.

But maybe it's because in Chunshan Villa, in a relatively unfamiliar and public environment, at this moment, through the fire door, there are still many reporters gathered at the door of the game room 100 meters away from them. Excuse me.

It's so strange, it's okay to be embraced by Liang, it's okay to be kissed by Liang, but when suddenly being carried off the ground by Liang, he can't face it calmly anyway.

It's just too crazy, and it's just... so exciting.

Being hugged by Liang in mid-air and spun up high, Guang's hands kept beating Liang's shoulders and chest.

Naturally, it can be seen that Guang is not really angry, but a little flustered is possible.

It's just that, for no reason, I want to see my lover show embarrassment because of me.

There is no reason to want to be willful this time.

Let you down, how is it possible?

"Don't let go, don't let go!" Said extremely childish words, Liang smiled heartily, hugging him tightly with both hands, like a tireless dancer, just laughing and hugging him The light turned round and round in the safe passage.

"I won!"

"Guang, I finally won!!"

Ah~~~

Is this... Fan Jinzhong Ju?

Guang secretly despised in his heart.

But looking at Liang who was laughing heartily like this, Guang couldn't help but have unspeakable bad thoughts in his heart.

I want to kiss the corners of bright eyes;

I want to poke the bright dimples with my fingers;

I want to see more expressions that I have never seen before.

In the ears, there seemed to be the sound of wind blowing gently.

At this moment, the surrounding scenery slowly merged into one color, only the chess player who was embracing himself and smiling innocently like a child, his face was still clear.

When his feet finally touched the ground, Guang only felt top-heavy for a while, and stared at him.

Just as he was about to have an attack, he suddenly lost weight again, and his body was embraced by someone again.

"Hey, light, I suddenly remembered."

He listened to Liang whispering in his ear.

"Huh?" Light asked.

"Suddenly, I seem to have never said 'thank you' to you."

"Huh? Are you out of your mind? Or did you take the wrong medicine today?" Despite the sarcasm in his mouth, his face still flushed red.

"No, I was too used to it before."

Some things, if they are too close, are easy to ignore and forget to cherish.

Holding Guang with both hands tightly, Liang did not dare to let Guang see his expression at this time.

What is your expression now when you say this?

Liang himself couldn't even imagine it, but felt that his face was going to be scalded, and his chest was pressed against his chest, as if deafening heartbeats could be heard from all over his body.

"Thank you, Teacher Guang."

"Thank you for always being by my side."

"The feeling of having you by my side is really, really good."

You can feel a ray of breath buried in your neck again.

Plop, plop.

Which one is this guy playing now?Sensational drama? !

"Hey, it's not Teacher's Day today!" He pushed someone's chest uncomfortably, but it was like an action force and a reaction force, the more he pushed, the tighter he was bound by someone.

"I have no inconsistencies, Guang." His hot lips pressed against his neck, and half of his body seemed to be numb all of a sudden, unable to move.

"These are all from my heart."

"If you don't believe me, you can listen to it yourself."

As he said that, he grabbed Guang's hand and pressed it to his chest.

"..." There was a strong and powerful heartbeat immediately on the surface of the warm skin, just like myself, thump, thump.

It was as loud as a drum, shaking heaven and earth.

Finally, in Liang's arms, he slowly calmed down.

If they looked in the mirror at this time, Liang and Guang would definitely find that both of them had the embarrassment on their faces after giving their sincerity like teenagers.

No one is calmer than anyone else.

"Okay, okay, I get it!"

Eager to withdraw his right hand from Liang's palm, and when he looked at Liang again, Guang finally kissed Liang's lips with a blushing face.

"Congratulations, Mr. Taya Celebrity, you have successfully won the title of Celebrity."

For the sake of being so happy today, I will forgive you for now.

However, only this time.

The author has something to say:

Note[1]: The two-person system means that before the countdown, the recorders take turns. If one recorder is tired or the time is up, another recorder will replace him. One of the scorers is responsible for notation and the other is responsible for counting the seconds.

Note [2]: According to the rules of the Celebrity War, when the 8 hours held by both sides are about to run out, both sides will keep 10 1-minute countdowns, that is, moves within 1 minute will not be counted. If the next move in the countdown phase takes more than 1 minute, The countdown time will be deducted by 1 time.When all 10 countdowns are used up, the player who runs out of time will be sentenced to lose.

Note [3]: Before the 29th issue (2003) of the Japanese Celebrity Title Tournament, all of them were 5 and a half items. Half.
