[comprehensive] untouchable opponent

In the semi-finals of the fourth round of the Young Lions Competition, the 45-minute game was obviously very short. For the onlookers who were always in a tense state, the time seemed to be stretched without limit.

It was obvious that one of the players was a college student, and the other was just a fourth-level chess player, but all the lucky players who were lucky enough to watch felt that what they were watching was a peak duel of top chess players.

Within an inch of the chessboard, the black and white pieces turned into sharp blades in the hands of chess players, and the blades faced each other, fighting for every cent.Everyone couldn't help holding their breath, opened their eyes wide, and clenched their teeth. They walked to the dangerous place and almost forgot to breathe.

I don't know how long it took, the white stones in the hands of Taya Siduan fell back into the pot with a clatter, and the white stones lost.The scene was quiet, and a needle could be heard, and everyone hadn't recovered from this wonderful match.

Until the shutters sounded a few times, Amano, a reporter from Go Weekly, said excitedly, "It was really a wonderful game! Li Yuan-san, congratulations on your promotion to the finals of this young lion competition! As far as I know, you are the first A student who entered the finals of the young lion competition should be said to be the "strongest student"! Can you talk about your mood at this moment?"

Only then was the audience brought back to their senses, and the sound of exhaling suddenly came one after another, accompanied by the sound of buzzing discussions.

"Taya's fourth dan actually lost..."

"Although it was a pass, Taya's fourth-dan Baizi actually lost to Wumuban! This Liyuan-san's chess strength is simply unfathomable!"

"Yeah, it's horrible!"

"It's amazing to be able to go down to this level, Taya's fourth dan!"

"Yeah, at least seven or eight levels of chess strength, right?"

"Then what kind of chess strength is Liyuan-san who can beat him? Nine-dan?"

"...Nine paragraphs?!"

After the crowd was silent for a while, someone murmured, "The strongest college student? It really lives up to its name..."

And no matter how everyone discussed, the two people in the middle of the topic never raised their heads.

Liyuan Qianxia remembers that Grandpa Wang, the president of the Go Association in her previous life, once said to her after a reversal match: Never underestimate the winning spirit of a professional chess player on the winning or losing field, they can always create miracles.At that time, although she felt that this was right, she didn't understand it thoroughly. It wasn't until this moment that she personally realized what the desire to win was.

Even if they are not as strong as their opponents, even if they are at a disadvantage, they never think of giving up, and they are always waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to their opponents.This kind of courageous momentum makes people tremble all over, blood boils, just want to beat him hard, hard!

This is the spirit of a professional chess player...

……

In fact, until the end, "Go Weekly" did not find an opportunity to interview Li Yuan Qianxia.Because at the end of the game, celebrities from Ogata also came.After the game was over, he couldn't help but sit down and discuss the game, replaying the game over and over again.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any chess player to have such a wonderful game with famous people as the commentator.The chess game discussion continued until seven o'clock in the evening, and no one left except for going to the bathroom.In the end, apart from feeling that they have benefited a lot, the only thing that everyone sighed was: It turned out that they just thought that there was something in the clouds, but there was a mystery hidden!Is this Liyuan Qianxia sure she is 17 years old?Are you sure it's not alien possession? !It's not scientific at all to be so strong in chess, okay? !

Liyuan Qianxia didn't know that she had completed the transformation from "mysterious college student" to "strongest college student" to "alien" in the eyes of everyone. She only knew that it was already 08:30 when she returned home.As a result of staying aroused for long periods of time, the body feels especially tired once it calms down.

At this time, Tezuka's family gathered in the living room, and when they saw her open the door and come in, they looked over in unison.

Liyuan Qianxia smiled at them and said, "I'm back."

"Qianxia, ​​welcome home~" Tezuka's mother stood up, and seeing her tired look, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Is it very tired today? Have you had dinner yet? I left curry rice for you, do you want some? To warm you up?"

"Don't be so troublesome, I already ate on the way back. I'm just a little tired, I want to go up and rest first, aunt, uncle, cousin, good night~"

"Go, go~"

When she went upstairs, Tezuka's mother sighed, "Hey, poor Chinatsu, I guess I lost today's game."

Tezuka's father said, "If you lose, you lose. I heard from a colleague of mine who likes Go that it is already very good to be able to qualify for the young lion competition. Qianxia has not been admitted to the hospital for a long time and has officially learned chess. We don't want to go. Put too much pressure on her."

Tezuka's mother nodded in agreement, "That's right! Let's just pretend we don't know, don't ask her about the result of the game, lest she be sad. Kunimitsu, you have to remember~"

Tezuka Kunimitsu, "..."

As the only person in the room who deliberately found someone to understand the rules of major chess competitions, Tezuka Kunimitsu expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.

Qian Xia, who was admitted to the hospital, qualified for the Young Lions Competition within half a month, and even entered the fourth round of the semi-finals. Even if he lost this round, such a result can already be said to be amazing, right?It was rare that Qian Xia was able to be neither arrogant nor impetuous from the beginning to the end.

At the beginning, he heard his mother say that she made himself half dead because of a broken relationship, and he still felt that this cousin was delicate and cowardly. The more he got along with him, the more Tezuka Kunimitsu felt that this cousin was admirable.He even wondered how such an excellent Qian Xia would be rejected, no matter how you look at it, she should be the one who rejected him, right?

Well, in fact Liyuan Qianxia was just a little tired, and she really didn't feel how great it is to win the semi-finals of the young lion competition, so she didn't mention the result of the competition, which led to the misunderstanding of the Tezuka family.

So this day, Mama Shindo next door took the latest issue of "Go Weekly" with a large photo of Liyuan Qianxia, ​​and came to chat with Tezuka's mother, and said with admiration that when Qianxia was so good at Go, Tezuka's mother still felt that baffling.

Although she doesn't understand Go, and doesn't understand the technical terms used to analyze chess games, it doesn't mean she can't understand those reports full of praise, what "genius", what "the strongest student", what "" The dark horse that turned out to be born out of the sky" ah, so his mouth widened in an instant, his face full of dreams...

——So, is Qian Xia so powerful?

But the shock is the shock. After all, Tezuka's mother didn't understand Go, and she didn't have a deep concept about these concepts, so the focus was shifted in a blink of an eye.She looked again and again at the large photo of Liyuan Qianxia on the homepage, and said happily, "Oh, our Qianxia is really photogenic, look at how beautiful and vivid this photo is~ the boy playing chess with her Not bad either~”

This issue of "Go Weekly" has devoted a lot of space to reporting Liyuan Qianxia. The photo on the front page was taken when Liyuan Qianxia and Taya Ryo played against each other. Before falling, it seemed as if he was rushing towards his face with a huge momentum.The picture is full of dynamics, and it can catch everyone's attention in just a moment.

Shindo's mother glanced at the photo and answered with a smile, "I know this boy, he and Xiaoguang are good friends, his name is Taya, and he is going to be a sophomore in high school this year just like Xiaoguang and the others."

"Peers, good peers..." Tezuka's mother squinted her eyes and smiled with satisfaction: Qianxia can only choose the best tree from among the many saplings after making more excellent friends of the same age~~

At the same time, Grandpa Liyuan also saw this newspaper.

Grandpa Liyuan likes to play Go when he has nothing to do, but because he has no talent in this area, he has never paid much attention to the professional chess world.Even if the precious granddaughter is determined to be a professional chess player, it is no exception, because in his opinion, his granddaughter is simply chasing boys, just for fun, how can she really pass the exam.

He knew that Qian Xia had been admitted to the academy, that she had been promoted to the first group, that she had qualified for that cub competition, that she was competing last weekend, but he didn't know what was so special about it.What made him realize something was the change in attitude of his old friend Kuwahara, so he stopped when he passed by a shop selling newspapers and magazines when he went out for a walk that day, and then he saw his granddaughter on the newspaper on the front at a glance. Photo.

Grandpa Liyuan was immediately excited, and took it over and turned it over at a glance.

The owner is a Go fan, and when he saw him so excited, he immediately started a passionate chat mode, "Guest, do you want to buy one? This is the latest issue of "Go Weekly", which reports on this young lion competition About the competition. There seems to be an amazing student this year, even Taya, the son of the former celebrity Taya Yukihiro, lost to her in the fourth dan, maybe she can make a big upset and win the championship~"

The precious granddaughter was praised, and Grandpa Liyuan's face was glowing. He waved his hand and said very richly, "How many copies of this "Go Weekly" do you have here? I want it all!"

"Ah?" The boss was stunned.

Grandpa Liyuan said proudly, "This student named Liyuan Qianxia is my granddaughter!"

"Ah!! Really? You are Liyuan-sang's grandfather, your granddaughter is really amazing..."

After paying the money and hearing a lot of compliments from the boss, Grandpa Liyuan left with a thick stack of newspapers in his arms.He decided to go to his office to inspect the work today, and by the way, popularize Go knowledge to everyone.

The opponent playing chess with Qianxia in the photo is the boy she likes, right?It looks like a good match with their family Qianxia!

But when did Qian Xia's Go become so good?Is this the power of love?
