[Soul of Chess] The intrigue of the foxes

The first game of the new first stage league is the game between Kuwamoto Inbo and Takegami Junko.

Even if they are not chess players, Shinto Hikari and Toya Ryo are very interested in watching the game, not to mention Fujiwara Sawei, a chess idiot, even if he just watches and does not play, he is still full of interest.

Coincidentally, they met the two people who were playing chess today in front of the elevator. The old man and the young were about the same height. The old man in a kimono and the innocent girl in a fashionable and elegant white dress looked like two eras intertwined. .

Takegami Junko, who noticed their approach, turned around and leaned slightly: "Good morning, Taya Hatsudan, Shindo Hatsudan."

"Morning, Mr. Kuwahara, Miss Takegami."

Sang Ben Inbo laughed and said: "Oh, it's fine if the old man can't sleep, and even the young people who don't compete get up so early. It seems that the old man will also be defeated by the youth of the young people."

Junko Takegami waved her hands again and again: "How come, Mr. Kuwahara is still the target we can only look up to."

"Huo Huo Huo, the little girl's mouth is so sweet. I didn't expect the old man to wait until I'm old enough to compete with such a cute girl. It's not in vain for me to travel all the way to play chess."

"Ms. Sang Yuan is always so funny."

"Hahaha--"

Shinto Hikari saw the corners of his mouth twitching, and muttered in a low voice: "Oh, it really is because the opponent is a girl, and Kuwahara-sensei's attitude is unusually gentle." Shinto Hikari remembered that when he challenged the old man in the Honinbo War in his previous life, the old man raised his eyelids, it was almost It's scary to have murderous eyes with blue light.

"Shinto, I've always been gentle with good children." Mr. Kuwahara, who was walking in front, turned his head, "So, Shinto must be a good boy who doesn't speak ill of others behind his back."

Shindo Hikaru said with a matter of course: "Of course, everyone praised me, and I didn't say bad things just now, I was promoting Kuwahara-sensei that you are a gentleman."

The skin is really thick enough...

Kuwahara Inbo's eyes slightly opened a slit, then closed again in an instant, and the corners of his mouth curled upwards: "Is that so, I'm so sorry, oops, old people just don't have a good brain, and if they don't say good things, they just say it plainly." It's confusing, thank you, Shinto."

Shinto Hikari stuck out his tongue secretly: "The old man is really angry."

Ta Yaliang glared at him angrily: "Shinto!"

Shindo Hikaru could only wave his hands: "Okay, okay, let's not talk."

Shinto Hikari and Taya Ryo bid farewell to the Go monitoring room. The two of them came not too early, and many college students arrived, including Kazuya and Yijiao.

"Good morning everyone."

"After all, there is a very important game today. By the way, Shinto, do you want to have lunch together later?"

"Okay, let's go together, I know there is a delicious ramen shop nearby." A silhouette flashed in his mind, and the corner of Shinto Hikari's mouth twitched, but it was so far away from the one near Neptune, it was impossible to meet Maybe it's the second bustling event, thinking of this, he recovered his emotions, "Let's go together!"

"it is good."

When the recorder and supervisor arrive, the time is up, and the game begins.

Junko Wushang went ahead in the black, her plain little face was completely serious.

No matter if it is any new beginner, he will not easily give up such an opportunity to play against a high-ranking big shot. Even if he is inexperienced, he may lose, but it doesn't matter. The key is to learn from the process.

Junko Takegami played normally at the beginning, but she didn't think deeply enough, and her defense was a bit lacking. In addition, the old man she was fighting against was an expert in psychological warfare, and just a few words made the little girl panic and make mistakes again and again.

"The old man is really... even the little girl wants to fight." The corner of Jin Tengguang's mouth twitched. This scene is so familiar. When he played chess with this old man, he was teased and beaten like this. After playing a few more games, his chess strength was comparable to The pressure bearing capacity has also been improved a lot.

"It's not bad. There was a new Xiaolin section in previous years, and Mr. Kuwahara made people cry."

"So miserable!"

"Yes, Mr. Kuwahara also likes to play chess with children, if not for his poor physical condition, he would be willing to join in the fun every year."

"what……"

The chess game ended quickly, and Junko Takegami lost to Sanmu.

Next is Taya Ryo vs. Zama Throne. Many people are looking forward to what kind of chess game will be presented in the game between the talented new beginning stage and the top players.

Ta Yaliang was also looking forward to this very much, and solemnly meditated at home for two days, and then greeted his battle full of energy.

Zama was not familiar with Ryo Toya, at first he thought that following a process was nothing more than a new beginning, and the surname Taya was nothing.

At the beginning of the chess game, Taya Ryo launched the attack. Zama slackened due to contempt, and fell into a passive defense. However, the difference in experience allowed him to still have a certain advantage. He pinpointed the loophole left by Taya Ryo's attack, and was lucky in a cold sweat Open the stalemate situation, and finally win with one eye.

Zama squinted at the arranged chess game for a long time, then nodded slightly: "Yes, this year's new first stage is really unusual, but you are still far away from winning me." In the end, he couldn't help revealing a hint of embarrassment. .

That being said, the young man's strength also aroused his vigilance. The editor-in-chief of the Go magazine once made him careless, but now he can no longer relax after witnessing it with his own eyes.

A new wave is just around the corner, and if you are not careful, you will be photographed late in the festival.

Ta Yaliang remained calm and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your guidance."

In two days, it will be Hikari Shinto's new first-stage match. Compared with himself, the emotions of the people around him are more anxious, especially Ryo Taya, who took the initiative to take the initiative to win the recent chess game between himself and Ogata Seiji before he could speak. After coming out, I also sorted out a lot of chess games related to Ogata published in the newspapers.

But Sato Fujiwara is more interested in this than Hikaru Shinto, and he watches it all day long.

Sawai Fujiwara: [Ah Guang, don't you want to take a look? 】

Jin Tengguang: [No. 】

The night before the match, he received a call from a man. He thought it was an outpost psychological warfare, but what the other party said surprised him.

"How about we add a lottery, the winning party can make a request to the losing party, which does not violate the legal and moral bottom line."

Shinto Hikaru thought about it, now Zuowei's reputation has been established, and Dugu Qiubai has become famous on the Internet. It is estimated that this man is the same as in his previous life. He wants to find Fujiwara Zuowei to play chess. , he will not lose, so he agreed wholeheartedly: "Yes, no problem."

When Hikari Shinto went out the next day, he saw a red car parked outside the door, and a sexy man leaning against the car smoking a cigarette, his gestures revealed a dissatisfied desire, and he was a little dazed.

Come again?

Shinto Hikaru glanced behind him, the door was closed tightly, and his mother didn't come out, so he hurried up to the man and asked, "Ogata, it's so early...why did you come to see me?"

The man glanced at him, and choked out the cigarette butt in his hand: "Pick you up to the Go Center, get in the car."

"You are really warm-hearted." The corner of Shinto Hikaru's mouth twitched.

"How did you sleep last night?"

"Very good." Hikaru Shinto raised his head, his eyes turned on the man's face, he didn't know if it was a skin problem or he didn't sleep well, the man's eyes were darkened, and he smiled secretly, "Teacher Ogata looks like he didn't sleep well, It can't be nervous, being your opponent is just a new beginning."

The man chuckled softly: "Intuition tells me that in today's match, you will show the strength to shock everyone."

Jin Teng's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face: "You really have confidence in me."

"It's only interesting when you meet your opponent. This year's debut in the new first stage will attract the attention of many people."

The key to how much attention he, a young chess player with no reputation and background, is from other people. After thinking about it, Shinto Hikaru understood: "Because of Taya, known as a talented young chess player, the highly anticipated son of Taya celebrity .”

"Xiao Liang said in an interview after the chess game that your chess strength is twice as strong as his. Now all major Go newspapers are waiting to see your debut results."

Shindo Hikaru: "..."

My friend, the ability to attract attention and hatred is still amazing after so many years, Ma De.

Shindo Hikaru looked at the man with a rare provocation: "It seems that I really have to work hard, and I must show the new demeanor of this year's new beginning."

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

Because the two came together, there was no need to wait for anyone, they took pictures together, and then went to the Xuanyou Room after taking pictures.I met Toya Ryo in the elevator, Fujiwara Sawei followed behind the boy, he seemed to be in a good mood, I guess he was very satisfied playing chess these days.

[This is the real place to play chess, I can feel a different serious atmosphere. 】Fujiwara Sawei followed behind Shinto Hikari, and then walked into the mysterious room, seeing the simple but inexplicably solemn quiet room, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

[Sorry Zuo Wei, I may not be able to give you the chance to play chess with others in this room,] because as long as the game is played here, it must be a grand and important game with witnesses, [However, I I will try my best to find enough powerful opponents for you. Even if you cannot be exposed to the world, I hope you can play chess happily. 】

【Uh-huh. 】

The chess game was about to start, Shindo Hikaru and Ogata Seiji sat opposite each other, the man took off his coat and put it beside him, revealing the dark blue shirt he was wearing underneath, revealing his thin figure.

In a few years, this man will be hailed as an aristocrat in the chess world. To use some women's words to describe him, he is a man with a handsome face and figure that makes his legs weak. Even a cold look can attract countless mad bees and butterflies.

"Rangzi's words are boring, let's guess first, is that okay, Teacher Ogata?"

"of course."

Both of them spoke as a matter of course, but it seemed that the surprise of the people around them was particularly abnormal.

In his previous life, Master Toya announced his retirement shortly after playing an online game with Satoshi Fujiwara. Many people speculated that he was hit, and even his style of chess changed. Seiji Ogata took over the tenth dan title at this time. was once questioned.But even if he was misunderstood, this serious and stubborn man did not give up on himself, and continued to use his strength to defend his dignity in the title battle.

But if he is defeated by a new Chuduan this time, it may have a greater impact on this man's reputation.

At least I got to know each other a little while ago, and I owed some favors not long ago. Now I want to use this guy as a stepping stone, and Hikari Shinto couldn't bear it: "If I win, it may not be a good thing for you."

The man saw his hesitation and smiled: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of game it is, I will go all out. Since you ask not to give up, then show me the corresponding strength, otherwise, I will let you go!" You look good."

"It's scary..." Shindo Hikaru was very satisfied with this answer, picked up the chess piece and dropped it, "It seems that it's okay if you don't take it seriously."

"It's good to know."

Monitor indoors.

Hegu Yigao muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that Shinto and Ogata-sensei really have such a good friendship."

Ta Yaliang frowned slightly: "What exactly does he want to do?"

He originally thought that his senior brother was a prudent and cautious person, but his words and deeds at this moment are contrary to his usual behavior in the past. This kind of behavior deliberately led Shinto Hikaru to the forefront... What was he thinking?

The others were intimidated by their dialogue, and Ogata Kudan's tone of praise was too unreal.

Perhaps, this kid really has qualities that can make Ogata Kudan look up to him, and he is looking forward to their battle.
