The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

"Pa——" With a crisp sound, the black chess fell off the board.

Nagoya, the first day of the 31st Celebrity Title Tournament Three rounds.

Ta Yaliang's throne is held in black, and Ogata Seiji's celebrity? Ten-dan is held in white.

In the 17th move, after several rounds of confrontation in the upper right corner, black took the lead and moved to the lower left corner, followed by white, and played a move of "pull" directly under black 17, "three of three".

At this time, a white piece has landed on the right side of Black 17, and the two white pieces are sandwiched. It only needs to make another piece on the left side of Black 17, and White will form a "beating and capturing" situation, which is disadvantageous for Black.The plan for now is to make another "long" move at the "2 of [-]" for black to wait for an opportunity to escape in order to prevent white from picking up a piece.

However, Black 19 unexpectedly made a move of "Tiger" diagonally above Black 17, giving White 20 an opportunity to take advantage of.

White made a decisive decision at 20, and bet on the left side of Black 17, and the trend of "beating and eating" has been achieved!

Located in the review room on the fifth floor.

Accompanied by the "transition" between black 17 and white 20, doubts sounded faintly among the players watching the game.

"If white draws the flower in the lower left corner, black will suffer locally." A chess player pointed to the lower left corner of the board and said, "What is Taya-kun's intention in making such a move?"

"Besides, since the chess game has just started, it's really not a problem to let white occupy the ground on the lower left first?" a chess player continued.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a chess player who sat closest to the broadcast screen and hadn't said a word since the start of the game suddenly said, "I see!"

Everyone was taken aback, and all looked at him.

While grabbing several pieces, he explained: "Here, Black 21 just 'touched' the left side of White 16-21, assuming that Black intends to break through later, White will definitely defend. Moreover, according to the current situation, White is likely to play the opposite, like this." He quickly dropped several black and white pieces alternately below, diagonally below, above and to the left of Black [-].

"At that time..." He pointed to the three black stones on the left side of Black 21, "The three black stones in the upper right corner will be in danger, but because of the exchange in the lower left corner just now, black has one hand left, so the three black stones are in danger. Black stones, white pieces cannot be captured, that is to say, the exchange of the lower left corner of black pieces, which seems to lose ground, is actually an invitation."

The so-called "Go" not only tests a player's ability to calculate and interpret the chess game in front of him, but also tests his overall view of the subsequent development of the whole game.This is why there are always some questionable players on the board, some players can easily see through it, while others are puzzled.

It is the same principle that Liang played black chess just now, from the 17th move to the 21st move now.

Black 17 is an adaptable move, testing how White should handle it. After confirming that Ogata chose to go down to the left, he turned around and moved the white piece in the upper right corner.

If you don't have enough courage, you can't play such a chess game at all.

After this chess player's explanation, many chess players present were suddenly enlightened, and they couldn't help sighing: "As expected of a Taya chess player."

And it wasn't until this time that someone realized belatedly that the speaker was a young chess player who had just won the title of Little Chess Master not long ago, Jinteng Guang Baduan.

Most of the other chess players present were probably from the Kansai Chess Academy. Hikari was not familiar with them. When he heard his name said from their mouths, Hikari just nodded politely to them as a compliment, but listening to the others When he was full of praise to Liang, the curvature of the corner of his mouth was still barely suppressed——to him, Liang was like a rare treasure.Of course he wanted to lock him in a safe, hide him so that no one else could see him, but at the same time, he wished to raise his trumpet and tell the whole world how powerful and excellent his Taya Throne was, not just Go His academic attainments, as well as his modest attitude towards others (except for him), his strict self-discipline, and his forward-looking thinking perspective.

On the other side of the screen, the chess player holding black seemed to have a sympathy with the lover on this side, and landed exactly on the position that Guang had predicted in advance.

In the future, it is still the upper right corner.

Black 25 "long", white 26 "stick", black 27 continue "long".According to the trend of the board, in order to prevent black from continuing to extend to the left, White 28 originally chose "pull" as the safest choice. After a short thought, Ogata made a strong move, directly placing White 28 on "17 of [-]". place, hit and eat!

Up to the 31st move, the upper right corner gradually forms a new situation of black chess on the outside and white chess on the ground.

But as if to give himself enough time to think, after the black 31 fell, Ogata did not make a move immediately.

Ten minutes later, the time came to 10:11 noon, and the two sides ushered in a one-hour lunch break.

This time, the chess game was played at a five-star hotel in Nagoya City.

The hotel specially provided five packages for Ryo and Ogata Seiji to choose from.

A selection of five guan sushi served with tempura udon noodles, vegetable salad and fruit.

The sashimi of the sushi looks very fresh, and the tempura on the udon noodles is also fried golden and crispy. The taste should be very delicious.

Ke Liang seemed to be born with a slow sense of taste. Except for the dishes made by a certain light himself, the other dishes were almost the same in his mouth. He held the chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls. He didn't taste the special taste, but tasted a bit of nostalgia—— —He suddenly remembered that udon noodles are also light-favorites.

For a moment, he couldn't help feeling sorry for these ingredients.

If only it was here.

He suddenly... misses him very much.

Wanting to call Guang, even to listen to the voice, Liang's right hand has already clenched the phone, but in the end he gave up.

As usual, he took a selfie of himself and the meal and sent it to Guang, and the text message came back quickly.

——Ahhh! !It looks delicious! ! !Especially that sushi! ! !Don't waste it! ! !

Even through the screen, just looking at the photos, the eyes are shining and the appearance of salivating seems to be overflowing.

Small, greedy, cat.

Liang pursed his lips and chuckled lightly, and replied, "Okay."

Putting down the phone and taking another bite of the sushi, the original bland taste seemed to become delicious.

It's really strange.Liangxin said.

The lunch break was not long at all. After the meal, Liang took a short rest, and then he calculated step by step what Mr. Ogata might do in the afternoon. When it was 15 minutes before [-]:[-] p.m., he put on his suit jacket again. , out of the room.

As soon as he reached the corner, Liang felt someone watching him.

He turned around hesitantly, but saw that there was no one in the corridor behind him.

Too.Liang turned around again, shaking his head with a smile.At this time, Hikari should be at Nihon Ki-in.

He didn't think about it any more, and he didn't touch the missed phone in his pocket anymore. He took a deep breath, and walked to the game room alone without stopping.

Continue in the afternoon.

Ogata's first move, White 32, made a "Xiaofei" move at "14 of 18", intending to infiltrate Black's position. Black was alert and returned with a move at "[-] of [-]". Forcing white chess to respond, in order to solve the urgent need.

Afterwards, the black chess "rushed" and the white chess "strengthened". Seeing that the chess game in the upper right corner was gradually taking shape, Liang seized the opportunity and once again set his sights on the unresolved lower left corner, going down the road to open the robbery.

The black and white sides immediately sparked a catastrophe in the lower left corner.

Black 37 "strikes", White 38 "lifts", Black 39 continues to "strike", at this point, White could have chosen to eliminate the robbery, but perhaps it is because of the consideration that if White eliminates the robbery at this time, The black 13 located in the "seven of 6" is likely to take advantage of the trend to form a big shape in the lower right corner. After weighing again and again, Ogata actually chose to open the robbery again relying on the abundant white pieces in the upper right corner. Therefore, the lower left corner and the upper right part once again set off a A bloodbath...

In the examination room.

Seeing that the battle on the board is getting more and more intense, the voices of the chess players discussing each other can't help but lower their voices.

At this time, someone said: "The result of today's game is likely to dominate the chess game after the series."

After the voice fell, there was a brief moment of silence in the review room, which was originally full of discussions.

In this Celebrity Tournament Qiban chess match, Seiji Ogata won the two-and-a-half round with white in the first round. The ownership of the white star in the game will have a great impact on the mentality of both players, so it can be said that whoever wins the third game will have the initiative in the entire series.

Guang didn't speak, according to the board, after taking away a white piece in the lower left corner, he turned his attention to the broadcast screen again.

Near three o'clock in the afternoon, the wooden door of the game room was opened, and the staff placed a plate of fruit platter and a plate of cake beside Liang and Ogata.

At the same time, a staff member opened the door and entered the examination room. After finding Guang's figure, he said something in his ear. .

The staff looked at the screen, as if knowing what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen King Taya eating during the game."

Three o'clock in the afternoon is always the snack time for chess players.

Hotels or inns usually prepare fruit platters or a variety of cakes for chess players to choose from.

But as the staff said, this is the first time that Liang has eaten food during a game since he has participated in more than 200 official chess games so far.

On the screen, although Liang couldn't see his expression, he could see Liang eating a piece of strawberry cheesecake.

Xu Shi saw that everyone was quite curious about the change of Taya Throne, the staff cleared their throats, and broke out a little tidbit: "It is said that when ordering, the colleague in charge of registration asked curiously Passing Taya Throne, at that time, Taya Throne replied with a smile, "It's because the family said that proper intake of food during the game helps the brain to think"..."

After that, the staff member seemed to say something else, but the light could no longer listen to it.

family……

Light slightly lowered his head, and unconsciously stopped in his footsteps.

The staff stopped when they saw the light, and hurriedly stepped forward to urge in a low voice: "Mr. Jinto, it's almost time, and almost all the chess fans are here, don't leave..."

Only then did Guang finally move towards the door a little bit, but his eyes seemed to be glued to the screen, and he still turned around every step.

Behind him, someone said again: "Ah, Taya Ryo's throne even ordered yogurt specially!"

Immediately there was a burst of laughter in the testing room, sweeping away the tense atmosphere that had just filled the sky.

This time, Guang didn't turn to look at the screen again, as if he was infected by the relaxed atmosphere, he also slightly hooked the corners of his lips, but he smiled, but his heart couldn't help but feel sore.

Just the day before departure, he once half-jokingly told Liang that when playing chess, proper food supplements would not only help the brain to think, but also be good for the stomach.

He also told Liang that he heard that Celebrity Zhan has yogurt specially provided by the Dairy Company, which cannot be bought in the market. If you have a chance, you must try it.

At that time, Liang didn't take it seriously, but it turned out that he always remembered what he said.

I don't know, is the strawberry cake delicious?The taste of yogurt, okay?

And the meal at noon is so rich, did Liang eat all of it?

It is really enviable for a person who has no interest in food to be able to eat so many delicacies in a game of chess.

In the game room.

Seeing the dessert placed beside Ryo, Ogata's face quickly flashed with surprise.

Aware of Mr. Ogata's accident, Ryo only hooked the corners of his lips in understanding, and didn't say much.

It wasn't until 5:[-] p.m. that day when Ogata sealed his hands and the two were about to step out of the game room that Liang suddenly said, "Nursing the stomach."

Ogata was taken aback.

Liang didn't explain much, but instead asked: "Is there anyone important to Mr. Ogata? If so, has Mr. Ogata thought about what to do for that person, or Change what?"

Ogata's expression flickered for a moment, but he didn't answer.

Liang had an answer in his heart, but he didn't reveal it.

"I used to be too selfish, and most of the time I just followed my own temper and seldom considered other people's ideas." Liang looked at Ogata and continued, "But from now on, I don't want him to worry anymore .”

He smiled slightly at Ogata Seiji: "There is an important person, the feeling will be very solid, as if no matter where you go, you know there is a place to go back to. If one day, Mr. Ogata can also It’s nice to meet someone like that.”

After finishing speaking, before Ogata could speak, Liang bowed slightly to him, and left the game room first.
