Female chess player Shindo Hikaru[Comprehensive]

After the preliminaries of the professional chess player exam, there will be more than half a month of free summer vacation time. The professional chess player exam will not start until August.

Hikari Shinto originally planned this period of time well: go to Taya's house once or twice a week to play Go with Taya, study the game records of previous title battles with Sawei at home, and take Sawei to the Internet cafe every now and then to play. chess.But because of the unexpected kiss in the swimming pool, Shinto Hikaru didn't want to see Toya Ryo for the time being, so she simply didn't go to the Zishui Go venue.

So Sai appeared on the Internet again for a long time during the summer vacation, and there was still an endless stream of people challenging him every day.The obvious difference from the time during the spring break is that there are many more professional chess players who come here especially for the challengers, from all countries.Some of these people will self-report their identities after being defeated by sai, and some of them are guessed by Shinto Hikari based on the opponent's chess strength.

Because I can play chess with different players every day, and most of the opponents are not weak in chess, this makes Fujiwara Satoshi's happiness index soar, and he is full of spring breeze every day.

Of course, what made him most happy was the appearance of ogataseiji.The second match between Fujiwara Sawei and Ogata Kyudan was held for three hours. Hikari Shinto and Fujiwara Sawei stayed in the Internet cafe until [-] o'clock in the evening. Both Sai and Ogataseiji played a lot of tricks , but in the end Sai won two eyes.

After the game ended, Ogata Kudan sent a message, and he said, "Sai, you are very strong, and I am convinced that I lost. My name is Ogata Seiji, and I am a Japanese Kudan player. I don't know if I have the honor to be able to Shall I have a hand-to-hand conversation with you?"

According to the style of Hikari Shinto's previous operation of the sai account, he would not reply to anyone's words, but Ogata's nine-dan is different. His chess strength is very strong, and he is a rare opponent.Shinto Hikari knew that Sawei hoped to play against more top chess players like him, especially if he could catch up with Taya Meiren through Mr. Ogata.

So in the end Shinto Hikaru replied to him, and she said, "I'm sorry, but I will basically be here during the day during this time. When you are free, we can make an appointment to fight again."

Ogata Kudan said, "May I ask the reason? If you are not in Japan, I can wait for you to come back for as long as you want; if it is not convenient for you to come to me, then you tell me where you are, and I can come to you!"

Sawai Fujiwara looked at the words and said in silence for a long time, "Xiaoguang, I really want to face-to-face with Kudan Ogata..."

"Sawei..." Hikari Shinto didn't know what to say, and she didn't know how to comfort him, so that he would continue to be sad. She didn't reply to Ogata Kudan's words, and directly quit the World Go website.

Afterwards, Ogata Kudan appeared several times, but he didn't mention the meeting again, and chatted about other things while playing chess, "Sai, are you a professional chess player?"

sai, "No."

ogataseiji, "Your chess strength is so strong, why don't you take the professional chess player test?"

sai, "personal reasons."

ogataseiji, "Is it because of your health? Are you bad at walking? Or is your body unable to support playing chess for a long time?"

Shinto Hikaru felt that it would be good to mislead Ogata Kyudan, so she replied, "Guess?"

After a while, ogataseiji sent a reply, "sai, the way you speak makes me think you should be young."

The cold sweat on Hikari Shinto's forehead broke out immediately, and he quickly said, "That's your illusion, you would never have imagined my age." Hikari Shinto was deeply aware that his routine was no better than the ninth dan of Ogata, so he said too much By mistake, she accidentally put herself in again, and after that, she would only reply, "Play chess." Or simply pretend that she didn't see it and not reply.

What Shindo Hikaru didn't know was that it was precisely because she stopped replying to his words that Ogata Seiji became even more convinced that she had guessed right.Ogata Seiji was attracted by Sai's Go game, and at the same time became very interested in the person behind this ID. It doesn't matter if Sai doesn't want to meet him, he will find him out with his own hands!

It is no secret in the Japanese professional chess world that Ogata Kudan registered an id on the World Go website with his real name and started playing online Go, and lost to the well-known online Go player Sai several times in a row.Many professional chess players were not very interested in online Go, because of this incident, they went to the World Go website and registered IDs to watch them play chess. Everyone had to admit that it was a very exciting game, not to lose in any title fight match.

So here comes the question, Sai's chess skills are so strong, who is he?This question has become a topic that professional chess players in the Japanese chess world will talk about when they meet recently. There are too many people talking, and some people will always analyze some clues after summarizing the information.

"It is said that the first time that sai appeared on the Internet was during the spring break. During that time, he played against people on the World Go website almost every day. After the spring break, he appeared less frequently. Now it's summer vacation, sai He hangs up and plays games with people online every day, do you think it is possible that Sai is a kid who is in school? Otherwise, if he has to work, how can he have so much time?"

"Impossible! Sai's strength is honed from countless games, how could he be a child?"

The professional shogi player who put forward this hypothesis just said casually, "I also think it's unlikely, but I heard that Sai has a female student named Hikari Shinto. She took the professional shogi player exam this year and has passed the preliminaries. She must know who Sai is, and we can ask her directly when the time comes!"

"Well, that's true! Speaking of the female chess player Hikari Shindo, I heard from Morikawa Sixth Dan, who presides over this year's professional chess player exam, that she is very strong in chess. She and the celebrity's son Taya Ryo were so scared that the opponent gave up in the first preliminaries. This year's professional chess player exam has made all the chess players participating in the preliminaries panic."

"I've heard about Toya Ryo's chess strength. I don't know how strong that Shinto Hikari is. Teacher Ogata, do you know?"

Ogata Seiji didn't speak, he was in a trance.When the professional chess player just mentioned whether Sai might be a student, he immediately thought of those conversations with Sai on the Internet, and then the name of Shinto Hikari appeared in his mind immediately, but he rejected it on second thought up.

He played a game with Shinto Hikaru, Shinto Hikaru's chess strength is indeed extraordinary, and even her chess has some similar moves to Sai, but the two of them are different after all. Sai's chess gives him the feeling of simplicity, calmness, and grandeur, while Shindo Hikari's chess is more dynamic.

It's just that there must be some connection between the two...

"Teacher Ogata?"

"Huh?" Ogata Seiji came back to his senses, "Sorry, what are you talking about? I didn't hear it just now."

"We're talking about the chess strength of that female chess player Shinto Hikari. Ogata-sensei's junior brother Toya Ryo participated in the professional chess preliminaries with her. Do you know the approximate level of her chess strength?"

Seiji Ogata pushed his glasses and smiled, "Well, you will know when she enters the professional chess world."

After the Go exchange activity was over, Seiji Ogata returned to the hotel and sat in front of the chessboard by the bed after taking a shower, drying his hair, and involuntarily recalling the guess made by the previous professional chess player in his mind.After thinking about it, Seiji Ogata took his mobile phone and went to the corridor to call Taya's house.

The person who answered the phone was Akiko Toya, the teacher's wife. Ogata Seiji exchanged pleasantries with her for a while, and Daoming said, "Is Xiaoliang busy? If not, can you ask him to answer the phone?"

"Xiao Liang is in the room at the moment, there should be nothing wrong, I'll call him later."

Ogata Seiji thanked him, and soon the voice on the phone was replaced by Taya Ryo's, "Ogata-kun? Are you looking for me?"

"Well, I'm looking for you to confirm something, Xiaoliang, has Shindo Hikari come to you often to play chess recently?"

"……No."

Seiji Ogata narrowed his eyes, "Then do you know if she is playing online Go?"

"Online Go? This... Ogata-kun, what exactly do you want to ask?"

Ogata Seiji smiled, "I heard an interesting thing at the exchange meeting today. Some people speculated that Sai is a student, because he basically appeared on the Internet for a long time every day during the spring and summer vacations."

"So you suspect that Shinto is Sai? But if that's the case, there's no need for Shinto to hide his identity, is there?"

"I also think there are a lot of unreasonable things... probably because I think too much."

After finishing the phone call and returning to the room, Taya Ryo was still thinking about Ogata Kudan's words.Ta Yaliang had heard of Sai's name a long time ago, and later heard from Shinto that Sai was her teacher and had a chess ability comparable to that of his father's celebrity. Although he was curious about Sai's chess ability, he deeply understood his opponent It's Shindo, he's not yet ready to challenge Sai, so he hasn't even watched Sai's games online.

Ogata Kudan guessed that Shinto might be Sai, Taya Ryo's first reaction was that it was impossible, because as he said, if Shinto was really Sai, there was absolutely no need for her to spend a lot of trouble making up a teacher's identity.But if Sai is really a student, then Shinto, who claims to be a teacher-student relationship with Sai and has amazing chess skills, is indeed the most likely Sai. It is no wonder that Ogata Kudan is so skeptical.

But... during the spring break, he didn't know that during the summer break, Shinto didn't come to the Go venue to ask him to play chess, but he did have a lot of time to play online Go.
