Because Ogata was on his honeymoon, all his seminars were handed over to Taya Yukihiro.Therefore, every time Siming studied in the seminar, he changed from the chess academy to Taya's house.

Including Siming and Chai Qi, Ogata had a total of five apprentices, all of whom were not very high-ranking. Siming's opponent today was the highest-ranking one among them, Fukatsu Kazuki fourth-dan.

Shenjin's chess is different from Chai Qi's. He is a defensive chess player.He started off very solidly.It is difficult to get much benefit from him in the middle game.

Since his defense was solid, it was only possible to break him up inside. After losing two games in a row, Siming began to ambush him at the beginning of the game.

Siming's ambush pawn made Shenjin very puzzled.This chess piece does not seem to be pre-occupied, nor does it seem to be a trap.This move seems to make no sense at all.

Shenjin frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't think about it, so he simply put it down, just didn't know, and continued to arrange troops at his own pace.

Shenjin's ignorance made Siming heave a sigh of relief.If you don't see it, that's fine.While taking care of his one-acre three-point land, he also harassed the other party.Although his progress was slow, Siming could predict how much convenience these few unremarkable moves would bring to his upcoming attack.

According to previous games, Shenjin and Siming's chess game can be over in about an hour and a half. The difference between the fourth dan and the second dan is actually quite obvious.

This unusual game caught the attention of Taya Yukihiro, who was still watching from the sidelines.As soon as he saw the situation on the entire chessboard, Taya Yukiyo was stunned.Shenjin's chess form has always been very good, but today's chess is obviously messy.

On the battlefield at this moment, the front of the black chess is being attacked by the white chess, and the backyard of his base camp is on fire because of the disturbance of the white chess.Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the opponent's confusion just gave Siming an opportunity. He seized the loophole created by the opponent's return to help, gathered his troops, tore a hole in the upper left corner, and joined the vanguard troops who had already ambushed Converging, they stepped on the opponent's camp from top to bottom.

Under Siming's onslaught, the enemy camp was in chaos, the rear was disturbed, and there were aggressive opponents in front. Fukatsu's eyes widened. He had never seen such a chess game...

"I lost." Under the pincer attack, Shen Jinyou struggled for more than 20 moves, and finally had no way out, surrendered and admitted defeat.

"Huh..." Siming let go of his clenched left hand, his palm was cold and covered with sweat.Just now, he played very thrillingly.Especially when ambushing those chess pieces, I was afraid that Shenjin would spot them.

"Qianye-san, I have been wanting to ask just now, how did you think of putting this hand, this hand, and this hand in these places?" Looking at the chaotic board, Fukatsu smiled wryly, Remove the follow-up pieces and restore the board to the beginning.

"Shenjin-sang's chess is thick, like an iron wall. The purpose of these moves is to disrupt your internal layout, so that you can cooperate with my attack." Siming took out a tissue and wiped his hands, "Shenjin-sang ignored it at the time. , but let me breathe a sigh of relief."

Fukatsu shook his head with a smile, "It seems that I still underestimate the enemy."

"No." Ta Yayuki shook his head and said, "Chiba's idea is very novel. You haven't met similar chess players before, so you didn't pay attention. Chiba, have you been playing chess with Korean or Chinese chess players recently? "

"Huh?" Siming was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "Not really."

"Japanese chess players pay attention to chess shape, while Chinese and Korean chess players pay more attention to strength, but your way of playing..." Xing Yang rubbed his chin, "It seems to be somewhat different from the current Chinese players. .”

"Qianye, what were you thinking at the time?" Chai Qi couldn't help but ask while sitting aside. The style of this game was quite different from Siming's usual. I spoke.

"Just thinking about how to break Fukatsu-san's defense. Since you can't break through from the outside, then come from the inside."

"So, you ambushed these moves at the beginning of the game?"

Siming nodded.

"What about the next few moves? Why did you choose this place?"

"Because Fukatsu-san neglected to strengthen the front line when saving this piece of chess, and the second is that I bought a white piece near this black piece before, so I chose this place as a strong attack point."

"Hey, so, are you counting from the very beginning to the last fifty or so moves?" Several students stared at Siming dumbfounded. This... this calculation power is too exaggerated!

"It doesn't count. It's just a general direction." Siming said, looked up at Shenjin, who smiled honestly and nodded, "I can only say that the role of this white chess piece is a chess piece. Dual use."

"Speaking of which, the offensive power of Shenjin's chess is still a bit weak." Ashihara leaned over, "Although the defense is very strong, but it always lacks the initiative when attacking, so it is a bit passive when it is really played."

"Indeed, we will have to strengthen our attacks in the future." Taya Yukio said to Fukatsu, and then looked at Siming, "The idea is very good and flexible. However, I don't agree with taking such risks from the beginning. It should be done at the beginning. If the foundation is laid first, if the corners are not secured, the building behind will be in danger of collapsing no matter how high it is built.”

"Hi."

Siming nodded. Indeed, he took a very risky move in this round. If Shenjin watched those moves to death at that time, he would have played very passively in the middle game.

After returning home, Siming recorded the last game of chess with Shenjin.

【A Si, in this game of chess, does Teacher Taya feel that we are not doing well? 】After Chiba studied the chess record for the third time, she still felt that there was actually no big problem with the whole game, it was just a little risky.

"Hmm..." Siming nodded after a moment of pondering, "It is true that I won Fukatsu-san in this game, but if this way of playing chess is used in a game, it is very likely that I will lose in the end."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" said that "soldiers are deceitful." But it also mentioned that "all warriors use justice to win by surprise."

"In this game of chess, it can be said that I relied on the ambushes in front of me to win the game. I followed the path of a strange soldier, but in the battle, only the combination of the right and the odd can be invincible. You Look, for the previous ambush, at the beginning of the layout, I had to devote all my energy to harass, but after the role of these chess pieces in the middle game became apparent, I had to focus on attacking and at the same time Taking into account the chess pieces that go deep into the black chess, so it is actually a bit of a battle between two ends. If you really encounter a strong opponent, this move will be raised by him very early, then all the previous arrangements will be in vain. gone."

【Oh. 】

There were cicadas on the treetops, but Siming did not stay silent in his chess game research because of the interference of the hot summer.

Compared with the heat in Tokyo, August in Hokkaido is quite bright.The ice emperor's tennis club members were staring nervously at the court ahead.

The final game of the national competition is being played there.A singles match between Keigo Atobe and Seiichi Yukimura.

At this time, Atobe was very fortunate to play another match with Echizen Ryoma before he left for the US Open.

Yukimura's ball always has a sense of despair. If you can't persevere with the love of tennis, you won't be able to get out of his tennis.

Atobe opened his eyes suddenly, it doesn't matter, whether he can't see or hear, even if all five senses are blocked, he just needs to continue to work hard to hit the ball back from the opponent.

"The game is over. 7:6, Ice Empress wins!"

"yeah!"

"We won!"

Boys and girls who have always been handsome embraced each other. They won, defeated Li Haida, who had won three consecutive championships, and won the championship of the national competition!

"……we won!"

Even through the earpiece, Siming could still feel the joy conveyed by Riji's plain voice.All kinds of screams and cries filled my ears, but it made people feel a sense of personal joy for no reason.

"Hey, Koichi, from now on, just call me by my name!"

"If? Okay!"

At the end of the national competition, Siming once again participated in the dinner party of the tennis club with Riji as a family member.

Sitting in front of the oven, Siming helped Kanako flip through the food while chatting with Hiji and the others.This time, due to some work assigned by the chess academy, Siming did not go to Hokkaido with him to cheer for Hiji.Hearing the brief talk about the situation on the field, I can also feel the difficulty of the game at that time.

Several people were chatting, and suddenly felt that the box, which was still noisy just now, became quiet.Siming and Hiji subconsciously looked up at Atobe's table.

"Next semester, I'm going to England." Putting down his glass, Atobe looked at the table and said it again.

Everyone looked at him in unison, and the joy of winning the championship suddenly dissipated because of his words.

"Atobe, you...you are joking." Xiang Ri dropped the pork belly from his hand, but he didn't notice that the original bright red hair seemed to have dimmed a lot because of it.

Akutagawa Jirou, who was usually unable to attract anything except food and sleep, also stared blankly at Atobe with wide-eyed eyes.

"No."

"but……"

"Yue Ren!" Renzu stretched out his hand to hold Xiang Ri, who was about to explode, "You know, there will come a day when none of us will be able to start a career."

These words made the atmosphere in the box even more depressed.

The girls looked at the silent brothers in confusion, and shrank aside, not daring to pay attention to the sizzling meat on the grill.

"Tch, do you want to complain because of this kind of thing? Or without Atobe, you won't be able to play?" Anato looked at Xiang Hi disdainfully, breaking the silence of the room, "However, my parents have agreed , let me enter the job network after graduating from high school."

"Oh, that's really congratulations Anato."

"It's really good, Senior Anato, I haven't figured it out yet, what will I do in the future?" Feng looked envious. "Riji, will you enter the job network in the future?"

Riji thought for a while, then looked at Siming, "It should be possible."

"..."

Because of the prospect of the future, the box gradually resumed its original excitement.

Before leaving, Atobu handed Siming a big envelope.

"Go back and take a good look, there is only so much that can help you."

"Tell me, what did Senior Atobe give me?"

"You'll know if you open it and have a look." Back home, the two of them gathered in Hiji's room, staring at the folder Atobe handed over to Siming in a daze.

After looking at Riji, Siming reached out and opened the folder.

A photo was drawn in the envelope, no need to ask, the similar smile on the photo had already told Siming the answer.
