The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

The first round of the Honinbo title match, the second day.

Continuing from yesterday's chess game, the black and white sides are always clenching, and the board is very subtle.

In the closing stage, White "pulls" 168 and removes a black piece, in case black pulls sticky and white is unfavorable.

In the lower left corner, although most of it is owned by white, but relying on black's "seven out of ten" move to "clamp", it successfully broke the part of white's territory in the middle.

Then, black 185 "pull" in the lower right corner, and took away the white chess piece located at "4 of [-]" in the same way, and once again consolidated the boundary of the position from the middle to the lower right corner of the black chess piece.

On the disk, there are a lot of officials.

The whole game went to the 257th move, and all the chess pieces of the whole chess game were finally collected in order.

After the number of the two sides passed, Kuwamoto Inbo finally won the Honinbo battle with a slight advantage of half a goal.

The chess game is over, and enter the reporter interview session.

Originally at least 10 minutes of interview time was reserved, but all of them were compressed into less than 10 minutes, and the euphemistic name was "to leave more time for replaying with Mr. Kuwahara".

During this period, Kuwahara Ren always acquiesced to Guang's willfulness, until all irrelevant personnel left, Kuangyuan Ren asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Boy, you are not in a hurry to do other things, are you? "

Guang just scratched his hair, smiled at the old man, then straightened his sitting posture again, and said seriously: "Then, Mr. Kuwahara, let's start the review now!"

Outside the game room, night has completely fallen.

The game room was still brightly lit.

Hikari always maintained a high degree of concentration, reviewing the chess game of the first round together with Kuwahara Jin.

This time, although he lost the game, he always felt as if he had realized something. Looking back at the chess game he played yesterday after a day, there are more than ten dissatisfaction points.

The minute hand on the wall went around and around.

Near 07:30, the review finally came to an end.

After finishing packing the chess pieces, Guang rubbed his slightly numb calf and stood up.

"Boy," Kuang Yuanren put up his hands and stood up, "You have to show me the value of defeating you."

Guang looked at the old man, then gave him a thumbs up: "Definitely!"

When passing by the old man, he felt that something was missing, so he turned around and added: "But I didn't expect that there is only half an eye gap between me and Teacher Kuangyuan! Take care, see you next time!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to the old man and the staff and ran out - when he checked out at noon, Guang had already reserved a taxi to the airport at [-] o'clock that night in advance.

Thinking of the surprised expression on Liang's face when he saw him a few hours later, Guang was so excited that he was about to fly.

Kuwahara followed behind Hikari and slowly walked out of the game room.

Looking at the running figure in the corridor, the old man shook his head helplessly, this kid was still so reckless.The last time I saw him running so hard was to find his destined opponent, so who was it for this time?

Nine o'clock in the evening, New Chitose Airport.

As soon as Guang checked his luggage, Liang's phone rang.

Because he was afraid that Liang would be busy, after the chess match, Guang only sent him a text message.

Picking up the phone, just as Guang called out "Liang", the two people on the call froze at the same time.

——They were on the phone and heard the same airport announcement!

Guang was stunned for a second, and then went crazy: "Tata Taya, where are you now?"

"Guang, tell me where you are now."

He glanced around and reported his coordinates.

On the phone, a clear running sound could be heard, and then he heard Liang say: "I see you, don't move, I'll come here now."

When waiting for the light, the light feels that everything around it is instantly quiet.

He just held up his phone like this, and kept looking around, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Taya here he comes!

Taya, who promised not to come, actually came!

All in one place!

Right at New Chitose Airport!

He is coming!

See you soon!

He hadn't seen Taya for three days! ! !

Where?Where exactly? !

Anxiety and excitement are like two cyclones, rampaging back and forth in Guang's mind and body.

Suddenly, the light stopped.

He stood still facing one direction for a few seconds, then pulled out his legs and rushed in that direction without hesitation!

Taya can already be seen!

There are still ten meters!Nine meters!Eight meters!Seven meters!

Just a little bit!

While running, Guang Hearing Liang told him to slow down and not run too fast, but he found that he couldn't stop the car at all.

When the light launched itself into Liang's arms, Liang had already opened his arms to hold his lover tightly in his arms.

In a place like the airport where gatherings and separations are happening every minute and every second, after three days of separation, seeing each other suddenly at this moment, a flower bloomed in Guangguang's heart like a reunion after a long absence.

Finally see you again.

Fortunately, here I come.

Guang couldn't help but tighten Liang's clothes, buried his face in his shoulder, and kept calling Liang's name.

Liang hugged Guang with his left hand, gently rubbed his hair with his right hand, and whispered in Guang's ear over and over again: "Guang, calm down."

But Guang just kept shaking his head: "I can't calm down!"

He really can't calm down.

It's just such a person who keeps saying that he doesn't understand romance and that his life is boring, but he brings him surprises and surprises time and time again.

It was the person in front of him, he came all the way here just to fulfill the promise he made to himself...

Even though he is in Liang's arms right now, and he can clearly hear the beating of Liang's heart, Guang still has the illusion that he is dreaming.

He asked Liang: "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Liang then drew his arms tighter: "Can you feel it now, Guang?"

It was as if he wanted to embed his entire body into his body.

That heart rate that was completely out of balance because of myself.

Also, that familiar breath from lovers.

This time, Light was finally convinced.

He nodded vigorously.

But the joy of reunion didn't last long, Liang suddenly asked Guang: "Where's your luggage?"

"Luggage, luggage..." Guang silently read a few words, and suddenly his face turned pale, "I just checked it out!!"

The two looked at the baggage check-in area behind them in unison.

Guangji turned his head to look at Liang: "What should I do?"

Liang: "What time is your plane?"

Guang took out the boarding pass: "9:50 in the evening."

Liang glanced at the time, it was 9:12 in the evening.

He looked up at Guang: "I haven't bought my return ticket yet."

Guang quickly understood: "So, now is...?"

Liang smiled and held his hand: "Light, are you ready?"

Light looked at Ryo and squeezed his hand tightly.

Liang nodded to him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and then they started running in the airport hall.

After paying fares, customs clearance, and security checks, it was not until they arrived at the boarding gate out of breath that they realized that the two of them were holding hands throughout the process.

But I didn't think there was anything wrong.

Some are just determination from the bottom of my heart.

——The right person will never miss.

The Honinbo title match is a seven-ban chess match. From May onwards, two games are usually arranged every month.

Just taking advantage of this gap, Guang You simply and neatly won the right to challenge the title of the 31st Little Chess Master.

Time to enter July.

After waiting for a week, the time for Honinbo to challenge Tega Six Rounds was finally determined, and the venue was arranged in the Yugen Room of Nihon Kiin.

Since Hikari's previous record was 2 wins and 3 losses, this game is a crucial one for both sides - if Hikari wins, the game will continue; It will end here.

The day of the sixth round of the Honinbo title match.

The sun jumped above the horizon early and the weather was unbelievably good.

However, since waking up in the morning, Hikari's eyelids jumped inexplicably.

"Liang," he called out in a low voice, and then grasped the hand of the person next to the pillow very unsteadily, "What should I do, I'm nervous!"

Liang smiled and turned sideways, took Guang into his arms, and patted him on the back lightly: "It's okay."

In the past, Liang's sentence "it's okay" was like a needle for calming the sea. After listening to it, Guang could quickly calm down.But this day, for some reason, after just listening to it, I became more and more tense, as if something was about to happen.

"But I'm just nervous. If you touch it, my palms will be sweaty."

Liang grasped Hikaru's hand and asked with a smile, "Then do you want to relax?"

"How to relax?"

"Do it?"

"Huh?!" Guang was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, his face flushed immediately, and he punched Liang's chest forcefully, "It's so early in the morning, what are you thinking about?"

After being punched hard, Liang still hugged Guang, and smiled lightly: "Look, isn't this back to normal?"

Guang suddenly didn't want to talk to this person.

He got under the quilt again, only half of his head was exposed.

At this time, he was still thinking about staying in bed, Liang thought, light should be fine.

He glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and seeing that it was still early, he leaned over and kissed his bare forehead: "I'll call you later."

"Yeah." Hikari closed his eyes, accepted Liang's kiss as if enjoying it, and nodded in a daze.

Liang got out of bed, smiled and tucked the corner of the quilt for Guang.

During this period, Guang's sight always followed the lover.

For a moment, he seemed to see Liang frown slightly when he got up, but in the blink of an eye, Liang's expression returned to normal, as if the frown just now was just his own illusion.

Guang rubbed his eyes unconsciously, and when he wanted to take a closer look, he happened to meet Shang Liang's gaze looking at him.

Guang suddenly felt embarrassed, blushing and turning his head away.

Liang didn't tease the light this time, and gently closed the door and walked out.

Thinking in his heart that Liang would call himself after a while, Guang couldn't help but let his thoughts become more and more blurred.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, he heard a "dong" sound from outside the door.

It sounded like something falling.Very loud and muffled.

"Liang?" Guang called softly, but there was no response, and he panicked for no reason. He sat up and called again, "Taya?"

Still no answer.

Guang sat on the bed like a wooden man for a few seconds, and suddenly felt a little cold.

He shivered a bit, got out of bed, then pulled on his slippers and opened the door.

"Taya?" he shouted, looking around for Ryo's figure.

"Taya?" Not in the living room.

"Taya?" She wasn't in the kitchen either.

"Taya?" Hikaru walked to the bathroom door again.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

At this time, the half-hidden door slowly opened from the inside.

When Guang stepped into the door and saw the figure lying on the ground and the bright red in his palm, his heart stopped beating.

"Taya——!!!"
