The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

The sound of the second hand moving clearly scratched the eardrums of everyone present in the silent game room.

click.click.click.

Ten o'clock sharp.According to the order of guessing first, Shindo Hikaru will go first.

After taking several rounds of chess, Shigeo Morishita opened his eyes slightly, and was surprised to find that the current chess shape was exactly the same as the game between himself and Shinto in the 58nd round of the 2th Honinbo 2nd qualifier!

Shinto boy...

The game of Go is largely a calculation of probability events.Even if it is the same in the early stage, it only needs to be changed one step later, and thousands of changes may be derived.

Needless to say, this contest is of great significance to Shindo, and it is also of great significance to himself.Shigeo Morishita did not intend to put himself in danger.According to the pre-match idea, he chose to hang the corner directly on the upper left.

Afterwards, the situation was like a raging war, all the way down the left side, black and white pieces were quickly spread in the middle of the left and the lower left.

Going down the middle road, Morishita clings to the black chess, and drops a piece on top of it.

Do you use "wrench"?

In an instant, an invisible chessboard opened in Guang's mind, and the black and white chess pieces seemed to be imbued with thought, quickly simulating on the board the possible moves that the two sides might make in the future.Here, if the sunspots also use the "pull", then the whites are very likely to take advantage of the situation and return to the middle, filling the breakpoint between the two whites...

How can I let you succeed!

When Heizi settled down, Morishita glanced lightly.Keen insight, quick reading ability, this kid's chess skills have improved a lot, but... not enough to match me!

During the fight, Morishita's claws had already reached out to the black piece that was close to the white piece, while intending to threaten the black position below, while secretly gathering momentum, waiting for an opportunity to cooperate with the white piece at the lower right "star" position.

At first glance, the white pieces are like a prairie fire, and their movements quickly spread to the left half of the board. However, the connection between the white pieces is still weak, and there are many breakpoints that have not been dealt with at this moment. Hidden danger.On the contrary, as long as the black chess has a thick chess shape, it is possible to take the lead first!

——Judging from the current situation, Jinto's situation is even more favorable!

In the examination room, although he made such a judgment in his heart, Liang's heart was still hanging.

As Kuwamoto Inbo said before the game, he also cared about the round that Shindo cared about.Whether in public or private, he hopes Shindo can win.

On the TV screen, black chess is making a thick left move step by step.But under the favorable circumstances, Guang was obviously not satisfied with the status quo, and he set his sights on the uncultivated land on the right side of the chessboard.

The chess game is advancing step by step.

Just when the black and white two men were in a stalemate at the upper right, Shigeo Morishita suddenly made a move of "tearing down two", which immediately made the situation more delicate.

Not only was he unable to grasp the intention of Morishita's move, even the people watching the battle in the examination room were surprised.

If the conventional approach is followed, Everbright can wait and see what happens, and proceed at its own pace.At this time, he took a dangerous move...

no! !

The moment Liang saw Heizi settle down, he almost exclaimed, and he curled up his right hand tightly.

This move of black is too hasty! !

And the moment the authorities left the chess piece, their hearts suddenly tightened.

It was this defeat that Bai Zike took advantage of.Shigeo Morishita managed to occupy most of the upper right in one fell swoop, and at the same time he was able to turn around and fill in the breakpoints between the several white stones in the middle on the left.However, the sunspots of Guang had to retreat steadily due to the continuous invasion and elimination of white pieces.

In an instant, the wind was surging.

On the board, under the massive counterattack of White's counterattack, the advantage that Heizi had gained before was almost completely gone, and he was even at a slight disadvantage! !

hateful……

Hikaru tightly gripped the knuckles of the folding fan, pale due to excessive force.

Just at the critical point when Guang's mentality was about to become unbalanced, an announcement that it was time for a break gave Guang a chance to breathe like a melody from nature.

At noon, Liang came down the stairs, and Guang passed in front of him, but he didn't notice his existence at all.

So, is this what it feels like to be ignored?

My heart hurts slightly like being pricked by a needle.He wanted to say something to Shinto, but he still didn't stop him.

After being abducted by Lu Yuan to have lunch and return to the chess academy, I saw Hikari doing gymnastics alone by the flower bed on one side of the chess academy.

Liang paused in his footsteps, looked at Guang's figure a few more times, and then entered the chess academy with Lu Yuan.

"One two one two. One two one two."

On the edge of the flower bed, while counting, Guang raised his hands above his head, doing bending and stretching exercises against the sides of his ears.

(Yes, yes! That's it! One two, one two!)

Sai? !

Guang's body froze slightly, and he suddenly looked to the side, a pair of amber pupils slowly opened wide.

Maybe he's crazy.As the breeze blew by, he actually saw the missing figure again.

Pure hunting clothes.Long purple hair.Gentle with a playful smile.Yi stood beside her as before, doing the same movements as him.

"Sai, is that you?" Guang suddenly felt a sore nose.

(Ah Guang, don’t be lazy! Come on, do it with me!)

"Oh, good!" Guang quickly sniffed, and shouted together, "One, two. One, two."

(Put your hands in front of you. Relax! Give your brain a complete rest!)

(One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four.)

"One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four."

Looking at Sai beside him, he still couldn't believe his eyes.But he dared not speak.He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, Sai would disappear again.

——Hey, Sai, why did you leave at that time?

——Have you... seen Toranojiro?

--are you happy?

(Ah Guang! Be serious!!)

"Oh, good." Guang tried his best to raise his head, so as to flow back some emotions that were about to overflow.

After an unknown amount of time, Sai's voice came from beside him again.

(Ah Guang, it's almost time~)

"Yeah." Guang Chao Sai nodded, but did not take a step.

(If you don’t leave, you’ll be late!) Sai urged with all his might.

"Hey, Sai, do you hate me? Hate me for taking your place in other people's memories little by little?"

Sai opened his eyes slightly, then bent his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"Then will you always be by my side? Just like before?"

This time, Sai didn't answer, but slowly pressed his right hand on his heart against Guang Guang's chest.

Does "Sai..." mean to remind me of my original intention?

"Then... I'm leaving." Guang nodded, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and turned around.

Sai was still standing there, smiling and waving at him.

(Aguang, add~oil~↖(^ω^)↗~~)

Under Sai's gaze, the boy finally turned around and walked towards the chess academy.

Behind him, the wind blows, stirring up the dust on the ground.The original open space is still open, as if everything that happened just now was just a dream.

And the young man who went to the battlefield again, never looked back this time.

Sit back next to the chess pier again.take a deep breath.

During the lunch break, Guang didn't think about what to do next, but at this moment, his mood unexpectedly calmed down.

In the afternoon, the chess game restarted.

In order to prevent White from further expanding its territory, Guang forced Black into White's power on the lower right.Afterwards, black played and captured, and finally won a first move.

However, looking at the overall situation, white chess is still dominant.

Seeing that the black and white pieces gradually covered the chessboard, suddenly, Guang dropped a black piece on the intersection of "14".

In the examination room, Liang couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

This move is exactly what I did in the previous mixed doubles match!Falling here, on the one hand, black can effectively restrict white's actions, and on the other hand, it can also echo the black pieces on the upper right.

When is Shinto...

After the connection of this sunspot, the number of black and white pieces on the upper right is roughly the same.So far, the competition for the upper right has temporarily come to an end.

The line of sight returned to the left center again.

Judging from the white chess shape, it is normal to capture a white piece at this time.However, if the chess pattern after the grapes is followed, the black chess is likely to lose two generals because of the momentary gluttony.After thinking about it again and again, Guang still chooses a more conservative and prudent approach.

But that's not enough!It's still close, as long as you work harder, you can catch up!

The light at this time is like a wolf waiting for its prey, when the time comes, it will attack decisively, tearing the throat of white chess.

After pondering, Shigeo Morishita fell into the long exam.

He still remembered the last time he played against Shinto.Chess is born from the heart.At that time, Shinto was timid, so he had many worries when playing chess and couldn't let go of his hands and feet.It was precisely because of this that I was able to break through Shinto's defense line.

A failed move this morning did cost Shindo a lot.But in the afternoon, Jinto's handling ability in the face of the crisis made him have to look at him differently again.

Entering the vines today is not the same as entering the vines yesterday.

Even Jindo in the morning is not the same as Jindo in the afternoon.

In the future, the closer it is to the end, the more cautious the two sides will be.In the end, it is impossible to judge who wins and who loses with the naked eye...

This chess game finally came to an end at 3:12 pm.

In the examination room.

Kuwahara smiled and put the [-] yen that belonged to him on the table back into his pocket: "My intuition has always been very keen! Hahahahaha."

Ogata pushed his glasses: "I would like to admit defeat."

But Kuwahara got up slowly, and didn't go to get the [-] yen piece: "I'll save this [-] yen piece for next time!" When he passed behind Ryo with his negative hand behind him, he suddenly stopped: "As a chess player, I'm afraid there is nothing luckier than meeting an opponent at chess?" After speaking, he opened the door with a big smile and walked out.

In the game room, the atmosphere revealed an unusual solemnity.

Or... have you lost half of your eyes?

Guang lowered his head, his face gradually covered with a layer of gloom and unwillingness.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Morishita-sensei take the lead: "I lost..."

What?The loser shouldn't be...

Hikaru suddenly raised his head, looked at Morishita Kudan, and then at the two recorders beside him.

"Shindo Chess Player, congratulations on entering the Honinbo round-robin tournament!"

"Congratulations!"

Facing the sudden reversal, Guang just felt unbelievable like he was dreaming.It wasn't until I counted the numbers on the chessboard again that I finally had some sense of reality.

Really, I won by myself.

Although it only won half an eye.

——Hey, Sai, did you see that?I won!I finally broke into the Honinbo circle!

Thoughts surged in my mind, and when I came back to my senses, I remembered that I had forgotten the last etiquette.

Guang couldn't help his ears turning red, and quickly lowered his head and replied, "Thank you for your enlightenment."

Shigeo Morishita looked at the shy young man in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, maybe the era of chess twin stars has really come...

Knowing that Taya will definitely watch his chess match, taking advantage of the gap between interviews, he sent a message to Liang as if to ask for credit.

--I won!Do you feel a sense of urgency right now?

——It has always been there, my seventh dan Shinto.

"Jinto seventh dan, hehe. Jinto seventh dan..." Hikari didn't notice the change in Taya's tone, and the words "Jinto seventh dan" were enough to make him laugh nonstop.

Not long after, Taya sent another text message. ——After the review, let's have dinner together.I'll treat.

I didn't even think about it. --good!However, do not go to Songhe Pavilion.

Bright spot opened the text message, smiling so hard that his eyes curled up. --good.Listen to you.

Light did not expect the review time to be so long.It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when I walked out of the chess academy.

Under the streetlight, Taya stood upright.The light hit his side face, the indifference of the past was gone, and there was a throbbing beauty in his handsomeness.

Hikaru regained his composure and walked quickly towards Taya.

Hearing footsteps, Ryo turned his face sideways.When the light approached, he smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"Ah, it's finally here." Finally, I can stand side by side with you.

Liang smiled and responded: "Well, finally."

From 12 to 17 years old.From college student to professional chess player.From the first stage of entering the rattan to the seventh stage of entering the rattan.

Time allows me to witness your growth step by step.I hope that I can also have the honor to accompany you every important moment in the future.

"Shinto..."

"Ok?"

In the dark night, the boy turned his face sideways.The smile on his face was even more dazzling with excitement.

Today...forget it...

In the end, he couldn't bear the surprise to turn into fright, met Shangguang's puzzled eyes, and sighed in his heart, then turned to ask: "Did you make a mistake at the beginning when you counted today?"

Guang was slightly taken aback, thinking why do you even know this!But he still flaunted his mouth and said: "How is it possible! I'm just still immersed in the chess game..."

If it is normal, the light must be on and off.Today, he followed up again: "However, compared to going to the wrong chess house during the title battle, it is really nothing to count the wrong goals at the end..."

Hey, hey, so are you hurting me, or are you comforting me?Just muttering words in his heart, and occasionally humming from his lips and teeth, but it is undoubtedly revealed that he can't be better.

Maybe it was the excitement that played a role. He obviously didn't drink, but Guang couldn't control his mouth: "You don't even know how long I've been waiting for this day! You can do everything better than me, and I can chase after you. It's been so hard..."

Every word that Guang said was like a delicate drumbeat, beating on Liang's heart.

He needed extreme restraint to say calmly, "Don't chase."

"Why don't you chase?! If you don't chase, I won't be able to see you!"

This time, Liang's footsteps finally stopped.

He turned sideways, and slowly met Shangguang's clear amber pupils, his voice was quiet but firm: "I've been here all this time. I'm not going anywhere."

"Nonsense! Didn't you go to Songhe Pavilion with a certain girl Ruhoninbo before?"

"...Are you asking the teacher for a crime?" The wind of the words suddenly turned outrageously, and Ta Ya couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Yes, so what?" Guang stammered, raising the volume in a bravado.

"Just eat. Just like you usually eat with friends."

"But, but ordinary friends, who would go to such an expensive place for dinner?" Now that I have asked, I might as well ask all of them!

"That's what I owe her."

"What do you owe her? Why do you owe her?"

"Because she helped me."

"What's the matter with her? I...can't I?"

"Want to know?"

"Ah."

Liang took a meaningful look, and replied with a sentence that made him vomit blood: "I will tell you one day. But, not now."

one day? !Why is it so familiar?

The reflection arc of light slowed down by more than half a beat: "Are you taking revenge on me?!"

"Forget it?" The corners of Liang's lips curved slightly.Suddenly, he suppressed his smile and looked at Guang with guilt in his eyes: "But if I had known this matter would make you care so much, I would definitely not have gone to her."

"..."

Tonight, Taya said too many specious words.He didn't quite understand, but he didn't want to delve into it.

But only this sentence, he can no longer continue to gag.

Taya's gaze was so serious that he didn't feel serious.

His gaze was so serious that his heart ached for a moment.

"Actually, it's okay." Guang clumsily thought of words, "If you really want to atone for your sins, take me to Ramen Alley when you have the chance! Ramen Plaza is also fine!"

Liang didn't answer right away.There was a look of childlike bewilderment on his face.

He didn't know whether Shinto knew the exact geographical location of these two coordinates before he said them, and he couldn't figure out his true psychological thoughts at this time.

He took a deep breath, and promised in his heart and mouth at the same time: "I will write it down."

Beside them are the constant pedestrians.Neon lights flickered on and off above their heads.

Liang looked at the light, and took him into his arms without warning in the next second: "Don't move. There is something in your hair."

Hikaru nodded obediently in Liang's arms, and immediately felt the touch of fingertips running through the hair.

But there is nothing on the bare hair, he is just doing his own selfishness in the name of good intentions.

He wanted Shinto to get closer to himself, get used to himself, and rely on himself.Deliberately.Unscrupulously.

But in his seventh dan Shinto, it seems that in addition to Go, ramen is in his head, and he doesn't know how much space he can give himself.

The author has something to say:

It is true that chess players go to the wrong field during the title match.The prototype is Zhang Xu Jiuduan.Koko.
