When all the local chess fans actually met Luo Chen, they almost all had the same thought in their hearts: they were extremely surprised.
After all, most of them, or even almost everyone, had never seen the low-key young master of JS Research Institute.
Having seen it today, it would be strange not to eat it.
Surprised, yet excited at the same time!
"The young master of the JS research institute is so young! But he already has the strength of a professional fourth dan!"
"Is our new young master of the JS research institute actually a genius teenager?"
"Great! Haha! It doesn't matter even if we lose this battle, Naoto Minamiya is already over thirty years old."
"Young Master! Just got here!"
For them, they didn't even dare to hope that Luo Chen was a genius like Yaichi Kuzuryu, who was at an abnormal level.
Such people are extremely rare.
To have reached the professional fourth dan level before the age of 18 is already exciting enough, extremely exciting!
This means that the young master and new president of their Adachi Ward JS Research Institute is also a genius!
"It's time, you two, you may begin."
The referee entered the room after timing it perfectly and said this.
Naoto Nanaya glanced at Luo Chen, somewhat taken aback by Luo Chen's youth, then smiled and said:
"Please go first, sir. I am a few years older than you, and I was already a professional fourth dan five years ago."
"Are you sure?" Luo Chen blinked and said, "Although I am indeed in a hurry."
"Of course, please."
Naoto Minamiya insisted on letting others have their way first.
Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose, said nothing more, and took his first step.
It's quite interesting. At least in the games he's participated in so far, almost everyone likes to give the opponent the first move. As the one being given the first move... cough! Luo Chen also quite likes it; it's a great feeling!
Naoto Nanya quickly assessed Luo Chen's playing style—a classic Kanto-style chariot-based move—and, having a general idea of what it entailed, began to place his stones.
The real-time game sessions have also begun to be broadcast to the outside world via large screens.
Naoto Minami's fans continued to shout things like "Go, senior!" and "You will win, senior!"
Local Go fans in Adachi Ward also began to carefully observe Luo Chen's playing style, satisfying their curiosity about this mysterious and low-key young master.
"Ju Feiche."
"But what kind of tactics are these? They look a bit chaotic."
"I don't understand it yet... By the way, Naoto Minami's playing style is as sharp and powerful as ever, and extremely aggressive!"
"I wonder how many rounds the young master will hold out against them. I'll be satisfied if he can hold out until 200 rounds!"
"I think I'd be very happy even with 150 moves; after all, this year is just the beginning."
The discussions were mostly hushed, as everyone's attention was still focused on the chessboard and they didn't want to be distracted too much.
But! When the game had gone on for 28 moves, unexpectedly, everyone saw Luo Chen stand up in the camera's view.
Then, under Naoto Minami's bewildered gaze, he bowed slightly and smiled:
"You flatter me, Mr. Nangu."
Chapter 78 The truth comes out! That person is me!
"???"
Outside the chess room, everyone watching the game on the big screen was dumbfounded, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Naoto Minami's fans exclaimed even more dramatically: "What?! Does that guy even know what he's doing? Does he think he's already won?! Huh?!"
Having never experienced anything like this before, Naoto Minamiya also had a blank expression. After a long while, he asked, with a wry smile, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Luo Chen smiled faintly and said, "I think your next move will be nothing more than ▲2 six steps, ▽3 four laurels, ▽8 eight corners... Flying Dragon Crossing the Border, using the upgraded corner movement to pull, laurel horse to surround, and then waiting for an opportunity to question me. Even if I am lucky enough to find a way to survive, I will then play a move like [laurel fragrance take] or [corner step take] to take pieces. It's a very crude tactic, full of wildness, and every step is full of killing intent."
Visibly, Naoto Minamitani's eyes widened, and he exaggeratedly uttered a single syllable:
"Ah~?!"
He was shocked.
This guy, this person! How could he see through all his thoughts so clearly?
Are you kidding me? Does he have mind-reading abilities?
No, because some of the tactics that Luo Chen came up with were things that even he hadn't thought of. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he even wants to applaud them!
Damn it, this guy in front of me seems even scarier now!
"Did I guess right? In that case, why don't you take another look at my board? After you see it, do you think you still have a chance to continue using similar tactics?" Luo Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Naoto Minamiya immediately frowned and stared intently at the chessboard.
If it were just now, he would have found Luo Chen's statement utterly ridiculous, but now, because of Luo Chen's words, he had no choice but to believe it.
But no matter how you look at it, how...
"Oh! Sorry."
Luo Chen then remembered that his opponent was only a fourth-dan Go player. So, he reached out and moved Nanya Naoto's Go pieces, then moved his own, and continued to move both of their pieces. It looked a bit like he was playing against himself.
But in Naoto Nan'ya's eyes, he wanted to cheer loudly for every piece that Luo Chen moved for him.
Brilliant! Fantastic! These are all ideas he hadn't considered before, even more ingenious approaches!
However, after downloading...
Luo Chenfang's repeated steals left him dumbfounded. After seeing Luo Chenfang's 72nd move, he swallowed hard, his throat dry.
After move 28, and only 44 moves later, his board became chaotic, with losses and a complete loss of pieces!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nangu, I have other matters to attend to and I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I can only stop here for now."
Luo Chen smiled politely, turned around and left the chess room.
Hey! You bastard!
"It's not over yet, don't go!"
"Arrogant! What are you doing? Naoto-senpai hasn't given up yet!!"
The local Go fans in Adachi Ward remained stunned and speechless, but Naoto Minamiya's supporters were furious, shouting angrily.
"shut up!"
Unexpectedly, the shout came from Naoto Minamiya.
Stepping out of the chess room, he seemed to have recovered some of the spirit that had been utterly devastated. His mouth dry, he looked at Luo Chen and asked:
"Sir, aren't you the one who created the 32-hand pre-game blockade?"
He remembered.
I suddenly remembered!
A while ago, there was a very popular post on a shogi forum.
A professional fourth-dan Go player was completely shut down in the early game with a 32-move game. Countless people left comments at the time, and even an eighth-dan player said that he could not solve the problem.
Later, it was the Adachi Ward JS Research Institute that solved it...
Suddenly, his eyes widened even more.
Adachi City, jsken!
He remembered that, according to his previous identification, the person he was playing against seemed to be from the Adachi Ward JS Research Institute.
Moreover, when the 32-hand front-board blockade was announced to be resolved by the Adachi Ward JS Research Institute, it caused quite a stir.
Many people have voiced their doubts, feeling that a JS researcher with only Kuruno Yoshitsune's 7th Dan rank couldn't have accomplished this.
Later, these voices gradually subsided because the 32-hand front-board blockade was indeed broken after using the solution developed by Adachi Ward JS Research Institute.
Now, Naoto Minami has an even bolder guess!
The so-called 32-hand pre-game blockade—no way, it was created by this very person in front of us, who then personally stepped in and broke it?!
This thought made Naoto Minamitani's heart pound.
Creating a 32-hand pre-game blockade was already an astonishing feat, but afterwards, he personally unblocked it! What does this prove?
This proves that this person is not only a peerless genius, but also a top-tier player whose current strength has already reached at least the professional eighth dan level!
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise, then smiled and nodded without hiding his expression, saying, "That's right, it's me."
Before Naoto Minamiya could display any other emotions, he instinctively bowed excitedly.
"It was an honor to play against you. I lost this game, and I lost badly. Thank you for your previous guidance."
"Uh..." Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose, feeling that he hadn't done anything, so he didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Naoto Minamitani raised his head, his excitement undiminished. He turned and scurried away, muttering to himself, "I've really made it! I, Naoto Minamitani, actually played a game against an eighth-dan genius in my lifetime! Heh, heh heh heh~"
