The second round of competition will start in the afternoon.The players left the arena for lunch.

Siming didn't have lunch with the students, but was dragged by Chai Qi to a fast food restaurant outside the Chess Academy.

"It's so rare that your sister didn't prepare lunch for you." Chai Qi joked while ordering.

Thinking of this, Siming curled his lips helplessly, "That girl went to watch a tennis match today." Today is the final of the Tokyo regional qualifiers, and a few small animals from the tennis club have been pretending to be small in front of the little girl for several days. Poor, Kanako immediately showed kindness, and brought Yuko Okada and Miyoko Morishita to prepare a lot of delicious food for the tennis team. God knows, there is no need for so many main players to play in the qualifiers.

In order to eat, Xiang Ri-senpai and Akutagawa-student really do everything they can.

"Tennis game? Ah, by the way, the youngest son of the Hiyoshi family seems to like playing tennis."

"Listen to you, you know someone from Riji's family?" Siming was a little curious, took a bite of the big chop, and looked up at Chai Qi again.

"Well. Uncle used to compete with Hiyoshi Yasushi before. It was an amateur match after he quit the professional world, so it's kind of friendship afterward."

"Oh."

After lunch, when he returned to the meeting place, Siming found that Kishitani was already sitting there waiting.Before he got close, Siming already felt the strong fighting spirit on the opponent.

"Please advise."

"Please advise."

Still holding the white, Kishitani seemed much more stable than Yoshida who impatiently stretched out his sword in the morning.He delineated his sphere of influence unhurriedly, making tentative attacks on white pieces here and there, and once he found something wrong, he immediately retreated.What is more cunning than Yoshida is that every time he makes a tentative attack, he will always bite you hard before running back.

When he shrinks back, when you want to attack him again, you have to go deep into the enemy's territory, and at this time you have to consider whether there will be a situation of fighting alone.

Siming had no choice but to expand his sphere of influence, trying to make the edge of his white chess as close to the black as possible.

After more than 30 moves, it was easy for Siming to catch a weakness in the opponent.After pondering over the opponent's intentions and subsequent developments, Siming chose to attack the black chess in this area without hesitation.

Originally, the two-eyed black chess piece, under the harassment and encroachment of the white chess piece, quickly turned into a one-eyed dead chess piece, as if a lone army trapped on a mountain had to rely on this little material to survive and wait for rescue.

If at this time, Kishitani can decisively give up this pawn and choose to re-expand the territory in other places, although it is difficult, at least Siming's strategy will not be achieved.

It's a pity that Kishitani is a little bit greedy.He was not willing to give up this piece of terrain he was optimistic about, so he had to pull some black pieces to rescue.Right in Siming's arms.

Surrounding the dots to aid is a typical form of mobile warfare, and the chess game is like a battle game. Siming cleverly ambushed the white chess on the way to the rescue of the black chess, because there were only a few scattered ones, which did not attract Kishitani's attention. At this moment, the black chess On a long journey to rescue an emergency, he was caught off guard by Siming's white chess piece on the way.

The besieged place could not be rescued, and soon died due to lack of resources, and the hard-working rescuers failed to reap the benefits. The soldiers who were beaten halfway lost their generals, and the black chess was encroached on many terrains by the white chess.

Seeing the disrupted situation, Kishitani had to grit his teeth and give up the dead chess.Decided to split another piece of disk to open up the situation.It's a pity that this decision was made a little late.

It's almost at the end. Although the black chess is not yet in a desperate situation, Siming calculated that he should be able to win about three or four eyes.

Unexpectedly, in the official stage, Kishitani entered into an extraordinary performance, pulled back a few more goals, and finally lost the game by only half a goal.

"Thank you for the advice."

"Thank you for the advice."

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, he almost capsized in the gutter.If it weren't for the clever moves in the last few moves, it is very likely that the good situation will be handed over.Thinking of Kishitani's hard work in the last period, Siming had to reflect on himself.

"The final ending, the play is very exciting, better than your performance."

"Thank you. I was also terrified. I never thought that I could play at such a level in the finale." Kishitani shook hands, let go again, moistened his palms, took the paper towel from Siming and wiped it off. Mo, "It's a pity that I still lost to you. No wonder you were able to win all the qualifications last year. You are really bold and careful. It is not easy to catch a flaw in you."

As the two talked, they walked towards the game table.

"Look at your opponent tomorrow."

"Tomorrow I will be with Ikeda second dan."

"Oh, Matsuzaka was eliminated in the first round?!"

Kishitani didn't find any friends in the list of the third round, and went to look among the players in the second round, thinking that they were eliminated in the second round, but found that there was no Matsuzaka in the second round. "His opponent in the first game today is..."

"Tsubaki." At noon, Siming had met Tsuboi, and he had a general understanding of their situation. Today, Matsuzaka's performance was quite bad, so he gave up in the middle of the game.Tsuboi said that it was not at all Matsuzaka's usual level, even worse than when he first entered the chess academy.

Of course, Siming knew that there was some exaggeration in Tsuboi's words, but after contacting Meishan who interjected on the side, it became clear why Matsuzaka played so badly.

"Recently, he hasn't put his mind on Go."

After the first day of competition, Siming walked to the station, ready to drive home.Chai Qi pulled him into his new car.

"Hey, this is not my way back."

Seeing the unfamiliar scenery around him, Siming turned his head and complained to Chai Qi.

"I know. This is to go to Teacher Ogata. Tomorrow your opponent is the apprentice of Jinto's seventh dan, so you can't lose to him."

"But, this doesn't seem to be the way to Ogata-sensei either!"

"Teacher, he changed houses!"

"So rich!" The boy suddenly looked envious.

"After you have been working for so many years and get a title, it's just as easy to change houses." Chai Qi turned her head and glanced at Siming with a smile, "By the way, Teacher is probably going to get married soon. Went to his new home and saw a beautiful lady."

"Is that so?" Ah, counting it, Ogata-sensei has also reached the age where he is about to get married.Oh, it is estimated that many female chess players will cry bitterly.The popularity of his own teacher among female chess players is definitely comparable to that of Senior Ninzuzu.

Ogata's new home is a small bungalow on the third floor with a garden.It seems to be quite in tune with his usual elite image.

Taya Yukihiro left Japan for China after the first stage of the league, so, recently, Ashihara and Taya Ryo will also come to Ogata's house to play chess and do research and study.

When Chai Qi and Siming arrived, the match was almost over.

"Teacher, Mr. Awara, Mr. Taya."

"You guys are here, how was today's game?"

Ogata stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and beckoned the two to enter.

"Not bad. Both Chiba and I have entered the third round. My opponent tomorrow is Tsuruta Nidan, and Chiba is Ikeda Nidan."

"Ikeda is in good condition recently, Chiba, you have to be careful tomorrow."

"kindness."

After they chatted for a while, Ogata asked Siming to show him the game of the day. "These two students are not bad."

"Well, Kishitani performed quite well today, and the closing stage was really exciting."

Chai Qi crawled to Siming's side, "He's usually not very good at official calculations, but he managed to get a piece from you today. It's not bad. You must be a bit slack here."

"Well, I was a little slack, thinking that I was sure to win, and almost gave up the great country."

"Qianye. What do you mean by this game of chess, this move?"

A few people discussed the chess game between Siming and Kishitani, while Ta Yaliang was looking at the chess records of Siming and Yoshida, and suddenly called Siming over.

"This move is to lure him to continue to attack. There is a saying in a book in China that 'one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion', marching and fighting, the most taboo is the lack of morale. Therefore, I want him Attack again and again, be beaten back again and again, until the morale is demoralized and you give up."

"The idea is good, but for high-end chess players, such a strategy is easy to get around." Ogata pointed to the chessboard, "Look, if it is here, the second attack point is not here, but here , then your previous arrangement will not be used, and, obviously, your power is still a little weak in this area, and it will be quite difficult to return to support."

Looking at the chess pieces placed by Ogata, Siming thought for a while, "Then, I will give up the previous arrangement and attack here."

"Of course, the best defense is to attack, but you have to remember that if you choose such a strategy, the opponent will also choose it. Your opponent today, the loss is that he has not gained a firm foothold at the beginning, and he started to follow You play contact, so here he will appear quite passive. If you lay a solid foundation from the beginning, then when you choose to use offense instead of defense, I don’t worry at all. You can make a move here Thorn, deepen the previous attack, and at the same time connect with the previous pieces..."

The few people had no sense of time when discussing, and only when the hostess came in to urge them, did they realize that it was time for dinner.

"Really. Seiji, it's fine that you keep forgetting to eat, and you drag the students along without giving them food." Ogata's girlfriend is a very beautiful woman, but she seems to be gentle and virtuous like the Japanese. It doesn't matter.Even wearing home clothes, it gives people a very capable feeling.

A few people were shy and had dinner at Xufang's house before Siming left in Chai Qi's car.

"Speaking of it, the teacher's wife looks familiar."

"Fortunately, you didn't say this in front of the teacher's wife, otherwise, the teacher would think you were prying his wall."

"Are you kidding? Put me and the teacher together. Anyone with a brain knows how to choose!" Siming gave Chai Qi an angry look.Then he still lowered his head and thought, where did he meet his wife?
