[Soul of Chess] The intrigue of the foxes

The chess game between Xuanyou and Xuanyou had already started, and the people in the monitoring room followed suit to observe carefully and concentrate on discussing and studying.

After dropping a piece on the screen, He Gu Yigao immediately turned his head and rushed to the back where the chessboard was placed, dropped a piece on the chessboard, and praised while watching: "This move is wonderful, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing better than this one." A better way to play, how did Shindo think of this place."

Shinichiro Ikaku nodded in agreement: "However, there is no flaw in Ogata's [-]th Dan, and the two are evenly matched."

"Attacked, attacked, Shinto attacked." The short and fat Yuta Fukui rushed over and yelled at the two of them.

"Where did it go?"

"This." Fukui Yuta pointed to a place on the upper right of the chessboard.

"Hey, go deep into the hinterland in one go, looking for adventure, but can't find a better place. Jinto is really amazing." I can't accept it.

"I guess Mr. Ogata will counterattack next, and the point will be..." Hegu Yigao stroked his chin and thought for a while, then dropped a piece at a certain position in the upper right corner of the chessboard, "Here."

Shinichiro Ikaku looked up at him, with some helplessness in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to grab a chess piece and landed it next to the black stone just now.

He Gu Yigao continued to play against the sunspots, after a while...

"Eh?" He Gu Yigao's eyes widened, "So this is a trap!"

"Well, but Ogata-sensei won't make the same mistake as you."

The two turned their heads and glanced at the screen. Sure enough, Ogata Seiji saw through the trap and did not step in, and tried to take the opportunity to attack. However, Shinto Hikari was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Shinto not only defended the attack perfectly, but also counterattacked with ease."

Amano, the editor of Go Weekly, who was watching in the chess room, suddenly opened the door and came in. After closing the door, he sighed in a normal voice: "The atmosphere inside is like a title fight, so nervous that people dare not breathe loudly." He poured himself a glass of water, poured it all down, and then sighed, "Mr. Ogata, let's not talk about it. Shinto's chess strength is too wicked. It doesn't look like a new beginner at all."

One sentence expresses the hearts of many people.

Indeed, there is a considerable gap between the experience and pressure-bearing ability of the new beginners against high-level chess players. It is precisely that these two things will have a certain impact on chess players, especially the former.

However, none of these influences can be seen on Shinto Hikaru. Whether it is the relaxed state of communication before the game, or the various responses during the game, they are all calm. Skill and calm temperament.

Such a child is the dawn of the future of Japanese Go. If there is no accident, he will lead the new generation to climb to the pinnacle of Go.

Compared with the shock of other people, Ogata Seiji felt a sense of relief during the chess game. It really confirmed his initial guess. This kid's chess strength is extraordinary, even... not inferior to his Teacher, Taya celebrity.

Hikari Shinto didn't pay attention to the change in his expression at all, and was still concentrating on the chessboard. He raised his hand and made another move. Originally, it was only a slight advantage, but this move made the board more obvious.

"Teacher Ogata is not good." Shinichiro Ikaku frowned.

A premonition that he himself could not believe suddenly rose in his heart.

Ogata Seiji did not flinch, and tried hard to defuse the opponent's attack on the central sunspot. Unfortunately, he tried his best and failed to recover the disadvantage.

"I lost."

In the end, Ogata Seiji conceded defeat with one and a half shots.

Everyone in the chess room and monitoring room: "..."

It seems to hear some voices that should not exist.

"There must be something wrong with my eyes and ears, ah, Ogata-sensei, he lost!" Nase, the only woman at the scene, yelled loudly holding her head, and brought back the reason of the others by the way.

"Both played well," He Gu Yigao sighed and scratched his head, "Ah, when will I be able to play so well!"

Shinichiro Ikaku said helplessly: "Don't be too ambitious, let's work hard to become professional chess players first."

"Ugh..."

In Xuanyou Room, the atmosphere was much more peaceful than expected, thanks to Ogata Jiudan's magnanimity, he didn't show his face or say anything harsh.After the chess game was over, he just quietly took off his glasses and rubbed his dry eyes.

A reporter from Weiqi Weekly held up a camera to take pictures of the two, but because the scene was so embarrassing, no one dared to speak, and the only sound in the room was the sound of the shutter being pressed.

Editor-in-Chief Amano coughed and took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere: "Both of you played very well, especially at the beginning of Shinto, it is really surprising that you were able to defeat Mr. Ogata. Mr. Ogata must have had no rest yesterday. Well, I see you have dark circles under your eyes."

Ogata Seiji said lightly: "If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to detour. The fact is so, you don't have to cover it up for me."

Ogata Jiudan, do you know what you mean by saying this, it’s amazing to be published!

Amano laughed dryly: "Mr. Ogata, you think highly of Shinto. From the previous conversation, you seem to have known each other a long time ago. Could it be that Shinto is also Taya's disciple?"

"No." Shindo Hikari said firmly.

"My Go teacher is not a professional chess player, but his strength is by no means weaker than anyone else. Unfortunately, he cannot appear in front of people due to physical reasons, and he doesn't want others to pay him too much attention. He just wants to enjoy it. It's fun to play chess, so..." Shindo Hikaru smiled slightly, "Please be sure not to explore the relevant information of my teacher in the future."

"Is the hermit a master?"

"Yes."

Ogata Seiji saw that he didn't want to go into details on this issue, so he looked up at the wall clock on the wall and said, "It's almost noon, let's go eat first, and then resume the game at another time, and continue to bother here , will affect the game in the afternoon."

Now that the big man has spoken, they can only obey.

After the release of the new issue of Weiqi Weekly, it immediately caused an uproar. A new first-level player actually defeated a nine-dan chess player, and was actually a popular candidate for the title match.

When did such an incompetent chess player get mixed into the peak of Go!

Many people were induced by rumors to slander Ogata Seiji, calling him a disgrace to a chess player.

In order to curb this evil trend, Weiqi Weekly once again made an interview report on some professional chess players' comments on this matter. Because the news spread very widely, basically all the people interviewed knew about this matter and unanimously stated that they had seen it. chess record.

Kurata Godan: "I knew it, even earlier than many people. I knew it when I was chatting with Mr. Amano on the afternoon of the end of the game. He showed me the game record. To be honest, even if I am against him, I may not be able to please him. You ask me what I think of Ogata Nine Dans? Of course it is amazing. Anyone with a discerning eye will know it by looking at the chess records. The psychology of those guys who only dare to hide behind their backs to slander others In fact, it’s very easy to guess, nothing more than envy, jealousy and hatred, if you can’t win on the chessboard, if you play tricks and tricks outside the chessboard, it’s worthless.”

Kuwamoto Inbo: "Oh hoho, Ogata was defeated by a young chess player. I heard from people around me that it's amazing. I'm so young. However, the ten-stage title battle is still going on, I hope Ogata will not be affected , otherwise it would be a pity, oh hoho."

Morishita Kudan: "Shinto is a rare genius, and Ogata Jiudan is also very good. Go is not a game that determines the outcome of age. If you don't pay attention to the back wave, you may be overturned at any time. If Shinto can continue like this development, he will definitely reach the pinnacle of the Japanese Go world in the future.”

Taya's celebrity's answer is the most anticipated. After all, Ogata Seiji is his disciple. Apart from his son Taya Ryo, Taya Yukihiro's most anticipated disciple is him.

The man's response was as indifferent as ever: "Both of them have performed well, and I also look forward to their development."

Editor-in-Chief Amano is very sorry. He has a good relationship with many chess players. Ogata Seiji is one of them. There is nothing wrong with the original report content, all of which are objective and straightforward, but when the news spreads, it is used and distorted , had a very bad impact on Ogata Seiji's reputation, so he wanted to do an exclusive interview with Ogata Seiji.

However, Ogata Seiji felt that it was unnecessary, the clearer cleared himself up, all false doubts could not stand the proof of real strength, the world would understand sooner or later.

Although Shinto Hikari's side was also affected by this, it was not as powerful as Ogata Seiji's side. It was time to play chess and learn.

In March, a certificate awarding ceremony for new entrants was held. Hikari Shinto and three others went on stage to receive professional shogi player certificates, officially becoming professional shogi players.

In May, there will be another competition for preschool teachers, which is an exchange study between the new juniors and the top [-] students in Group A. Taya Ryo will follow Fujimitsu as the new juniors and must participate.

There are a total of 25 participants this year. Coincidentally, the ranking this time is very similar to the official professional exam. The positions assigned by the two of them are exactly separated.

A lot of people came to the venue that day, besides the contestants, there was also a large group of students who watched and studied.

"Shinto!"

Shinto Hikari turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. It was Taya Ryo, who was holding bread in one hand and a box of milk in the other. He hadn't opened the package yet, and seemed to be planning to find a place to sit down and settle things slowly.

"Today, my opponent is Yijiao."

"My opponent is Ah Fu."

There is no way, they are all from the academy students, since the top fifteen are all here, it is bound to run into acquaintances.

When it's time, sit down in your seat.

"Please advise."

"Please advise."

Hikaru Shinto looked up at Shinichiro Ikaku's lowered eyebrows, and couldn't help but recall in his heart that it was the game with this man that made him let go of his obsession completely and regain his beloved Go.

【Zuo Wei, come on. 】

【Really?Is it really possible? 】

[Of course it's okay. 】

Ta Yaliang heard Fujiwara Sawei's excited yelling, and looked back with some worry, and he almost jumped up in anger just by this one look.

He actually saw Fujiwara Sawei pointing the chessboard with a fan, and Shinto Hikari placed a piece there.

Shinto Hikari bastard!

Even if you are worried that Fujiwara-senpai will be lonely, don't take it, if someone finds out the problem, you will be in trouble, okay?
