[Soul of Chess] What if

Taya put her hands on her knees and sat on the seat with her back straight.

He closed his eyes gently, quietly recalling the words he had just heard.

A master of the Internet?

Even Korean professional chess players lost to him?

So……

Let me see your strength!

When she opened her eyes again, Taya's expression became extremely serious.

He carefully placed the chess piece on the star position in the upper right corner.

The other party responded quickly.

It's four of four, star position.

As soon as Taya placed the chess piece at 17-[-], the opponent put the chess piece down.

Bai Zi falls in 4 out of [-], which is still the star position.

So far, Taya and Sai have each occupied two corners.

In order to prevent the opponent from further expansion, after the white stone fell, Taya placed the black stone on the 6th seventeenth, and started to attack the star position in the lower left corner with a small flying hang.

Sai did not sit still, but responded with 9 out of [-], a high clip.

In this way, the two sides launched a small-scale offensive and defensive battle in the lower left corner.

Just as the two sides were fighting inextricably near the star position in the lower left corner, Bai Zi suddenly started to attack the lower right corner occupied by him!

Taya didn't dare to love to fight, and immediately moved to the star position in the lower right corner, trying to resist the opponent's invasion.

It's a pity that most of his corner land was taken away by Bai Zi.

In desperation, Taya had no choice but to temporarily abandon this place, preparing to go to other areas to seize the territory first.

However, as soon as he shifted, Bai Zi followed closely, and no matter where he went, Bai Zi would quickly chase after him.

In addition, this sai also took advantage of his unpreparedness to continue to encroach on the only remaining territory in the lower right corner of him!

With such a pressing step by step, people have no time to breathe.

Unknowingly, Taya's forehead was gradually covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Looking at the white piece that landed on 9 out of [-], Taya couldn't help swallowing.

So strong!

Is this sai...

This obstacle is too strong for me...

Even... as powerful as his father...

I……

No.

Can't back down.

I still have a chance.

This move should be able to threaten Bai Zi's eye shape!

Thinking this way, Taya dropped the sunspot on the middle star.

The opponent quickly put down the chess pieces.

"!"

Taya stared at the white stone on the 9th four in disbelief.

Just now, he seemed to have seen Shinto put the chess piece on the chessboard with the gesture of a beginner holding a chess piece!

Just now was...

"impossible……"

"how is this possible……"

He couldn't help murmuring softly.

Hearing his whisper, Ogata, who was standing beside Taya, called him with some puzzlement: "Ah Liang?"

Taya didn't respond.

He just took a deep breath and continued with the game.

impossible!

Taya tried her best to calm down her violent ups and downs.

The opponent's chess strength is so brilliant.I heard that he defeated the masters on the Internet one after another, which is not the same as Shindo.

And just two months ago, I had only played against Shinto.

However, at that moment just now, why did I regard him as Shinto's hand?

During the game, Taya carefully analyzed the current situation, and his expression became a little dignified:

situation……

can continue to fight,

but i...

I don't think I can beat him.

Then, he saw that the white piece landed on the 6 of [-].

Finished!

Taya bit her lip involuntarily.

White made the first move, and it was too late to play!

In this way... it is too difficult to maintain the center and the left at the same time!

Although he has tried his best to save it, but...

The sunspot in the center...has...couldn't survive...

Taya lowered her head deeply, clenched her hands unwillingly.

After a while, he voted.

who are you?

After calming down a bit, Taya raised her head to ask the other party.

Only to find that the name had disappeared from the list.

He closed the computer silently, then pulled out the chair and stood up.

"Mr. Ogata, I'm leaving today. Mr. Shimano, I'm sorry." There was no emotion in his voice.

"Ah Liang." Shimano said worriedly.

But Taya left the venue without looking back.

Seeing Taya's leaving figure, the others discussed in low voices.

"Who is he?" one of the contestants asked those around him.

"The son of Toya Meiren, Japan's top shogi player," replied one.

Another immediately asked, "Is he a professional chess player?"

……

Before the order of the venue got out of control, the staff quickly used the microphone to make relevant arrangements: "Everyone, the game in the morning is over, we have prepared lunch in another room. There is not much time left, please go there Dine."

It was indeed getting late, so everyone followed the staff's guidance and went to eat.

He and Tanimoto planned to go together, but he inadvertently caught sight of Mr. Ogata.Seeing that Mr. Ogata seemed to be coming to find him, Kazuya hurriedly said something to Mr. Morishita, and then left the venue as if fleeing.

In this way, the morning of the first day of the International Amateur Go Cup passed.

During the lunch break, when everyone was relaxing, the atmosphere in the publishing department on the top floor was extremely tense.

Everyone is working overtime around sai, the mysterious master on the Internet.

Just now, they received a game record from the staff of the International Amateur Go Cup. It is said that it is the game record played by the celebrity's son Ta Yaliang and the mysterious master on the Internet.

Mr. Amano didn't pay much attention to it at first.

After he read the chess record, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock:

This... this sai's chess strength is not inferior to the current domestic high-level chess players!

Even more powerful than them...

Such a powerful existence, they hadn't even noticed it before.This is really incredible!

As a journalist, I failed to find out at the first time, and anyway, I was still a bit dereliction of duty.

However, it is never too late to remedy the situation.

Mr. Amano immediately mobilized all the staff in the publishing department and made a clear division of labor.

As a result, the publishing department was in full swing.Some people collect all kinds of information about sai from the Internet, and classify and organize them aside.Some people buried their heads in earnestly writing the press release.There are also some people who sit together and seize the time to analyze and study the existing situation, and discuss the preliminary ideas of feasible activities around sai.

And our protagonist, Hikari, is sitting at the dining table, happily eating the delicious ramen cooked by Mitsuko's mother, unaware of the approaching crisis.

Ah~ Ramen is indeed the most delicious food in the world~*^____^* Aguang sighed in his heart.

"A Liang!"

Looking at Taya who walked into the Go Club, Miss Shihe's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Well, understandable.After all, since Taya decided to take the professional chess player's exam, it has been a long time since she came here to play chess.

Shi He leaned out from the counter and asked impatiently, "How was yesterday? Of course we won the first battle? Right!"

Seemingly taken aback, Taya paused before answering Miss Shihe: "Uh...um."

"As expected of Ah Liang!" Shi He couldn't help admiring.

"Miss Shihe, you are exaggerating too much, this is just a battle." Taya rubbed her hair shyly.

After hearing this, Shi He immediately puffed up his cheeks: "What are you talking about, Ah Liang will definitely pass with a complete victory!"

Taya smiled helplessly.

"By the way, will Mr. Ogata come today? I want to play a game of chess with him, so I came here..."

Before Miss Shihe could answer, the door of the guild hall opened automatically.

I saw Mr. Hirose walking in, shaking his fan.

Seeing Taya appearing here, he was a little surprised: "Teacher Liang."

"Hi." Taya greeted politely.

Like Miss Shihe, he also asked with concern: "How was the result of the first battle?"

"Uh……"

Before Taya answered, Mr. Hirose hit his head with a fan, and said with some annoyance: "I really am, it's really rude to ask Mr. Liang whether he won or lost!"

"You're too polite." Taya said, politely answering Mr. Hirose's inquiry.

Taya planned to find a seat to sit down first.

"Ah... that's right,"

When Mr. Hirose took out the money from his wallet and was about to pay the entrance fee, he suddenly thought of something, and then looked at Taya with a smile: "I saw that child on the way here! It was the last time I won Teacher Liang's——uh..."

"Shinto?" Taya stopped in her tracks.

"I don't really understand, it's the kind of place where there are many computers." Hirose picked up the ballpoint pen on the side and filled in the information on the form, "Isn't there a store that can access the Internet? I just look there to him."

Hearing this, Ta Ya was startled.He suddenly turned his head and looked at Mr. Hirose in disbelief.

Shihe asked curiously: "Oh! Why is he there?"

"He seems to be obsessed with not knowing what he's doing..."

"Where is the location?" Taya asked eagerly.

"It's near Roppongi Station." Mr. Hirose thought for a while and added, "Ah, that's right! It's a building with all glass exterior walls, so it should be easy to find."

"I see. Thank you!" Taya rushed out of the store as soon as she finished speaking.

Impossible, absolutely impossible...

After the game in the game room of the chess academy that day, Shindo said clearly that that is his current real strength...

Although he didn't look like a fake when he said this, but I think the other party might be him.

because--

Because at that time—

Sai's hand, in an instant, let me see the former Shinto.

Even the speeding subway could not ease the restlessness in Taya's heart.

Once out of the subway station, Taya ran desperately.

Soon, he saw the all-glass building Mr. Hirose mentioned.Then, he saw Shinto sitting in front of the computer with his back turned to him!

"Shinto!" Taya exclaimed unconsciously.

is it you?

Is sai you?

Taya couldn't help quickening his pace, he pushed open the door, came to behind Shinto, and pulled away Shinto's body blocking the screen.

The author has something to say:

The explanation of the game is completely written by myself, if there are bugs, please be tolerant (ó﹏ò)

Should Ah Guang's vest be dropped, or not?

Well, it’s so hard to decide╥﹏╥
