[Soul of Chess] What if

"Good morning! This is the manual, please take it."

The staff in charge of the reception standing at the counter beside the entrance of the Dapan Explanation Meeting smiled politely. He said hello to the two middle-aged men passing by in front of him, and handed over the beautifully printed booklet with both hands.

It's just that those two people were busy talking about something and didn't pay attention to it at all.

Seeing this, the staff member had no choice but to take his hand back a little discouraged.

The two of them just walked into the venue, and seeing the pieces on the chessboard on the screen, the thin and tall man turned his head and complained: "Look, Hirose, it's already started!"

Hirose didn't mind the other party's bad tone, but hurriedly comforted him: "Bei Dao, don't be so flustered, it will take a long time to finish a game of Go."

"My, every time I watch Go on TV on Sunday, I fall asleep halfway through it..." Having said that, Hirose smiled a little embarrassedly, "Today's game is several times longer than Go on TV. Well, isn't it?"

Hirose's words didn't seem to have any effect.

"Hirose, today is a crucial game for Mr. Taya. Hurry up, hurry up!" Kitajima urged.

His expression was still the same as before, not relaxed at all.His pace also involuntarily quickened a bit because of the urgency in his heart, and Hirose struggled to keep up, and he didn't even have time to wipe off the sweat all over his forehead.

Ogata was staring intently at the screen in the inspection room next to the special match room on the seventh floor, when suddenly he heard the sound of the doorknob being turned.

He turned his head slightly, and saw Awara smiling foolishly, and Taya following behind Awara with an uneasy expression on his face.

"A Liang?" Ogata raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Taya curiously.

Although A Liang is the son of a celebrity, I don't know if his junior brother is full of confidence in his father's strength, or because he doesn't care at all, or for some other reason. In short, A Liang never takes the initiative to follow celebrity games , not to mention watching from the sidelines while celebrities play chess.

Why did Ah Liang come to watch this competition?

It couldn't have been a whim.Something must have caught his attention.

For example——sai...

Today is a crucial game.

So far, Sai is temporarily leading 2-1.If sai wins again in this round, then this game is over.If a celebrity wins today, then the day after tomorrow will be the final.

Since the outcome of the game cannot be predicted in advance, Chess Academy made two-handed preparations early in the morning.

Sai's reward for winning is a nine-duan grid exemption.There is nothing special about this award itself. People are most concerned about whether Sai will show up to receive his exemption certificate if he really wins.

This is a large part of the reason why Ogata came to the review room to watch the game.

Could it be that Ah Liang is also very concerned about Sai's true identity?

Or is there another special reason?

Under Ogata's gaze, Taya seemed more and more nervous.

Ashihara thought that Ogata was wondering why A Liang appeared here, so he quickly explained: "A Liang was going to commentate the venue to watch the chess game, and I happened to meet him, so I brought him here too."

He observed Ogata's expression, and asked with some uncertainty: "It should be all right?"

Well, anyway, pay more attention.

Ogata thought so, and then said calmly: "Sit down."

Hearing Ogata's answer, Ashihara breathed a sigh of relief.He smiled and led Taya to sit down on the seat not far in front of the screen.

On the other side, in the game room.

In the game room at this time, there was a sense of suffocation in the air.

After the second game, in response to the strong request of the majority of sai chess fans, and to prove the fairness of the game, the person in charge of the competition specially allowed the sai support club to select two representatives who would be able to participate in the game during the game. Indoor supervision.

Everyone knew the importance of this game, so all bystanders, including the staff, held their breath and watched the progress of the game intently.

The people watching the battle on the Internet didn't even dare to blink their eyes. They stared at the screen tightly, for fear of missing any wonderful moment.

I don’t know if today’s game will be as exciting as yesterday~~O(∩_∩)O~~ Everyone is full of expectations for this game.

You know, in yesterday's game of chess, Sai played completely to the level that he deserves to live up to his reputation as the God of Go!

If one word could be used to describe the chess played by sai yesterday, it would be "stable".

The third game is sai holding black.

The start of the game was not much different from the previous two innings.After sai started with Xing and Xiaomu, celebrities responded with Xing and Xiaomu, and both sides actively and tacitly occupied two roles.

In the next move, sai is at the 5th seventeenth place in the lower left corner, and white is targeting the black stone at the 17th fifteenth place in the lower right corner.

Regarding White's request to share the interests of his corner, Sai calmly responded with 15 out of 17 points.Although Celebrity made [-] out of [-] entrustment, this move had no practical effect on White, and even made Black stronger.

As far as black has 11 tigers, black is very solid, so white's 17th of [-] splits into two and becomes the second player.

The 4 of 4 large oblique move is very powerful, so the lower right of the black piece becomes extremely solid, and white dare not rely on it to fight, so it has to choose the concise type at the [-] of [-] apex.

At White 22, Black got the upper hand again. After dismantling the star, Black took the lead in the layout.

Since the beginning of the game, Sai has played every move extremely smoothly, so black has been very solid from beginning to end.

However, although sai's chess style is peaceful, it does not make people feel weak at all.

Although the black chess has never taken the initiative to attack, it always gives people a feeling of being ready to go, making people tense up unconsciously, and dare not relax in the slightest.

Just when people thought that the chess game would just go down like this, Sai's two-handed chess immediately lifted the spirits of the onlookers.

Black chess does not continue to stick to consolidating the ground, but uses 3 of 5 backs and [-] of [-] Dafei to rapidly expand towards the center, fighting against celebrities with a big appearance.

Is sai planning to launch an attack? !

"Wow~! ≥﹏≤"

The people who had been following the progress of the game couldn't help cheering, and then immediately continued to stare at the screen in front of them with excitement.

Immediately after White lands on 9-10, sai leans back with [-]-[-].

This move shows that Sai would rather be too strong to lose than lose half because of weakness.

Celebrities followed closely behind, showing a winning attitude no less than Sai.

Black digs at 33 and sticks at 35, creating a breakpoint for White.Therefore, White played at 9-[-].

This move is really a desperate move, but, apart from this, White has no better choice.

"Ah! That's astonishing!"

Seeing Sai's response to the celebrity's hand standing, Kurata holding the microphone couldn't help but let out a gasp.

Atsushi Kurata, 20 years old this year.Although he only started learning Go at the age of 15, he became a professional Go player two years later, and has been promoted to one rank every year. He is now a five-rank Go player.

It is precisely because of his extremely fast growth rate that he is called the No.1 of young chess players.

Kurata's hobby is signing, his hobby is eating, and his specialty, um... probably has an intuition that can judge the outcome?

The first and second matchups between celebrity and sai happened to be on the days when there were professional games, so Mr. Watanabe was in charge of the market commentary for those two days.

The commentary work for the next two games will be undertaken by the No.1 of the younger generation~

Although not as experienced as Mr. Watanabe, Kurata's commentary is still decent.

"When the opponent stands, under normal circumstances, it is enough for us to block here." Kurata said, pointing to the 10th seventeenth place on the hanging board with his finger, "but Sai placed the chess piece on the 7th place." The position of Seventeen. This move is really strong!"

"After that, White has a posture of riding a tiger. The reason is that White has no room to retreat."

Speaking of this, Kurata's expression became a little more serious: "However, if Bai lives in the black sky, Sai's move will be defeated. Therefore, Black's move is not without risk."

"The outcome will be decided here. Now the two sides have started a desperate struggle, who will win, let us wait and see!"

After strengthening its defense in the lower left corner, black made up its mind to annihilate the white invading enemy at the 8th of [-].

Although White responded positively, it didn't work out.

Black 49 blocks White's way out first, White 50 wants to move, Black 51 makes a killer, White is already very dangerous.By black 57, part of white can no longer live.

Although white is trying to survive and is still stubbornly resisting black, but due to sai's frequent skillful moves, black's advantage has become more and more obvious.After black's 12-[-] length, white's chess has been completely sealed, and it can only fight with trapped beasts.

White breaks through at 80 and 82, and then relies on 84, in order to make a final effort.

It's a pity that from Black's 85 draw to 89 Tiger, White has already become a rout.

Black retreats, white sticks, black pulls, and white fights at the bottom right.

However, after Black 111 sticks, he is no longer angry enough to kill White.At black 127, Bailong died angrily and lost.

Black won in the middle game.

That is to say, the winner of the third game is sai.

After the game, sai didn't leave directly like before.

After a short pause, Sai sent a message.

sai>At the end of the second game, should Black go first and then jump in?

Seeing the words of sai, although many people didn't understand what sai was referring to for a while, but seeing the dialog box that appeared on the screen, everyone couldn't help talking, even the staff in the game room They were talking silently with their eyes.

Compared with the uproar of the people around, the celebrity's reaction is much calmer.

He paused, then tapped the keyboard unskillfully.

toyakoyo> yes.

Seeing the celebrity's reply, Zuo Wei suddenly became extremely depressed: "I thought I remembered it wrong... 〒^〒"

Seeing Ah Guang looking at him in confusion, Zuo Wei explained aggrievedly with a wrinkled face.

It turned out that at the end of the last game, the celebrity had two chess moves and made a wrong move.

Although Zuo Wei was aware of it at the time, he didn't expect celebrities to make such a simple mistake, so he thought it was a new official chess form that he didn't know about.result……

After finally recovering from the blow, Zuo Wei said seriously: "Ah Guang, thank the celebrity for me and say..."

"...If White's 15-nine point is changed to 15-[-] crutches, then White will have a chance to win..." After Cang Tian couldn't help but muttered softly, he couldn't help but wonder: Is sai reviewing the chess game with a celebrity? ?

After all, if it is face-to-face, after the game is over, the two sides generally have to review the game.However, due to the particularity of sai, the review process was ignored by everyone...

After a while, Sai sent another message.

sai> In addition, if White's 18-15 climb is changed to [-]-[-], then White still has a chance.

After rehearsing it on the hanging board suspiciously, Kurata was suddenly too surprised to speak.

Because, if you follow sai's instructions, white really has the possibility to reverse the situation!

Where is this sai?

Could it be that he is really the God of Go? !

The author has something to say:

Hmm... It should be better to change the title...
