Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

As soon as he entered Iwai Yuichi's office, Iwai Yuichi and Su Xiwu immediately came to greet him warmly. He had heard from Su Xiwu before that he would invite Iwata Kaoru, 6th dan, to play coaching chess, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Su Xiwu introduced Iwai Kaoru and others to Iwai Yuichi one by one.

Iwai Yuichi said happily:

"Mr. Iwata, I have long heard of your great name as a Japanese chess master, but I have never met you. I never expected that I would be able to meet you in China. It is such a great honor!"

Iwata Kaoru smiled and said:

"I am also honored to meet Consul General Iwai. I have also heard of your great calligraphy for a long time. Mayor Su also said that you are also fond of Go. Mr. Iwai is really multi-talented."

Iwai Yuichi said modestly:

"I can't say I'm multi-talented. I do like Go, but my level is not very high. I know this.

Iwata-kun's visit is a rare opportunity. He can give me some advice on chess. I think I will benefit a lot from it."

Su Xiwu also laughed and said:

"Iwai-kun, you are so impatient. As soon as Iwata-kun arrived, you immediately asked for advice from him without giving him a break.

Mr. Iwata will stay in Shanghai for a few more days, so he has plenty of time.

But this also shows how much Iwai-kun loves Go."

Su Xiwu had already talked to Iwai Yuichi before, and Iwai Yuichi promised to help him get the mayor's post. The original painting and calligraphy by Tang Yin was also given to Iwai Yuichi, who simply couldn't let it go. Su Xiwu felt very happy at this moment.

Kaoru Iwata says:

"I admire Iwai-kun's passion for Go. I don't feel tired at all. I think we should start now. I am also looking forward to playing a game of guidance with Iwai-kun."

"Okay, Iwata-kun, I think just like the game of instructive chess you played with me in Nanjing, let Okamura, the first dan, play a game with Iwai-kun to test Iwai-kun's chess ability.

I remember that Gangcun, a first-dan player, gave me four stones, but I still lost.

But I was not without a chance to win, unfortunately I was still one step short.

I wonder if Iwai-kun can handle it?

But Iwai-kun is better than me, so I should have a chance."

Su Xiwu laughed.

"Okay, let's get started."

Iwai Yuichi said with anticipation.

I thought to myself that my chess skills were indeed better than Su Xiwu's. Su Xiwu lost when he was given four stones in Gangcun Chudan, so I might not lose.

After he finished speaking, he led everyone into the study, and Yuan Ye set up the chessboard on the table with ease.

Iwai Yuichi and Okamura sat at the two ends of the chessboard, Su Xiwu and Yuan Ye sat on both sides of Iwai Yuichi, Iwata Kaoru and his disciple Asai 2nd dan sat on both sides of Okamura 1st dan, watching the game.

The moods of the two players were different. Iwai Yuichi was eager to win and was trying his best, while Okamura was in a very relaxed mood. It was impossible for an amateur player like Iwai Yuichi to beat him when Okamura was giving him four stones.

When he played chess with Su Xiwu in Nanjing before, he did not go all out in order to save Su Xiwu's face. After all, the latter was the financial sponsor and he could not let him lose too badly.

This caused Su Xiwu to have an illusion that he had a chance to win, but he just didn't seize the opportunity.

Of course, Okamura was taught to do this by his master, Iwata Kaoru. This will give the financiers a good experience and they will be more willing to pay.

Sure enough, Su Xiwu was not satisfied and invited them to Shanghai to give him some guidance.

Not only did he not have to spend a penny, he also earned a considerable amount of instruction fees. He admired his master very much, so he did the same thing to Yuichi Iwai and treated him the same way.

Iwai Yuichi, playing with black, placed four black pieces in the four corner star positions, occupying the star positions.

Okamura, playing with white pieces, attacked the corners, preparing to hollow out the opponent's four corners. Iwai Yuichi knew that his chess skills were not as good as Okamura's, so he did not fight with his opponent for too long in the corners, but purposefully built up a strong external force.

He played very slowly, and each step was steady and solid. Yuan Ye felt that Iwai Yuichi's move was wise. He used the advantage of having four pieces in his handicap. As long as he could form a thick wall in the middle and limit Gangcun's development towards the middle, he would have a chance of winning.

Gangcun naturally saw it as well, but he did not take it seriously and moved his pieces quickly, first seizing the corners and edges, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack the center, playing according to his predetermined strategy.

He also found that Iwai Yuichi's chess skills were stronger than Su Xiwu's, but he did not believe that Iwai Yuichi could make full use of the external forces to surround the middle abdomen. He would definitely find an opportunity to break into the middle abdomen.

The two of them played nearly two hundred moves, and the four onlookers had already seen that, as far as the current board was concerned, although Okamura had gained a lot of ground, he was not in an advantageous position because of the four-piece handicap. Iwai Yuichi's strong external force had gradually formed, and the key to victory depended on whether Okamura could seize the opportunity to break into the middle and make it work.

Kaoru Iwata was not worried at all. He knew that the current situation was created intentionally by his disciples so that they would appear to be evenly matched and the scene would be exciting.

Iwai Yuichi also judged that he had the advantage, which gave him hope of victory and his confidence quickly increased.

After assessing the situation, Gangcun decisively attacked the center of the abdomen and began to maneuver there.

Iwai Yuichi wanted to maintain his advantage, so he was a little worried. When attacking the opponent's dragon, some of his men were a little weak, allowing Okamura to seize the opportunity, and a big dragon showed signs of survival in the middle of the belly.

The situation suddenly became complicated. Iwai Yuichi knew that once the dragon came to life, the game would be lost.

His expression became more and more solemn. He was thinking hard about how to attack the dragon and fell into deep thought.

Su Xiwu also saw that Iwai Yuichi was in a bad situation. He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't see any good way for Iwai Yuichi to prevent the big dragon from surviving. If nothing unexpected happened, he was afraid that he would lose this game.

However, Kaoru Iwata and Asai seemed very relaxed, as all this was expected.

Iwai Yuichi thought for a long time and felt that there was no way to prevent the opponent's big dragon from surviving. There was no need to continue playing and it was a complete waste of time.

He regretted that some of his men were too conservative, which led to the good situation being wasted and the victory being reversed. It was such a pity.

He sighed deeply, and unwillingly took out a handful of black pieces from the porcelain jar beside him, ready to admit defeat.

At this time, Yuan Ye leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear:

"Mr. Iwai, why are you admitting defeat? You've definitely won this game!"

Iwai Yuichi was so surprised that his hand reaching for the chessboard immediately stopped.

He recalled the previous game between him and Su Xiwu. Just when he thought he had no chance of recovery, he called back and found out that Yuan Ye made a brilliant move that brought his dragon back to life and he finally won the game that was bound to be lost.

Could it be that he has come up with some incredible trick this time?
