The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

It was so easy to get to the noon break, and I finished my lunch in a big way. I didn't sit in the lounge for a long time, I secretly calculated the time, got up and went to the vending machine to buy drinks.

If someone happened to pass by at this time, he would see such a scene——

I saw the young man standing in front of the vending machine seemed to be having a difficult choice, he was undecided, and he was thinking hard.

After hesitating for a moment, the boy with blond bangs seemed to be afraid of being bumped into by others. He would turn around from time to time, keep looking behind him, and looked around behind him vigilantly, as if confirming that the alarm had been lifted, and then turned around again. , but after a while, it seemed that he had received a message from the overhead radar, and turned his head to look at the corridor again...

Turning around like this, he stood in front of the vending machine for 8, [-], [-], [-] minutes. During this period, he pretended to wander around the door of the examination room twice. The boy with golden bangs still couldn't decide which drink to buy. The small sentence murmured softly, accompanied by his lonely turn for the last time, and diffused into the air in the corridor very slightly like ripples.

"Strange, why haven't you come back yet?"

At this moment, the elevator door to the fifth floor slowly opened.

After lunch with Toyayuki Hiroshi, Shiliang returned to the Chess Academy ahead of the rest of the team.

The vending machine on the fifth floor was placed at the end of the corridor, on the same side as the examination room and the rest room. If you came out of the elevator, you had to pass a corner to see it.

Liang was walking quickly towards the examination room, half of his body had already protruded out of the corner, and after a while, he immediately retreated into the shadow of the corner.

Taya Yukihiro was originally walking forward with Liang, but when he saw that Liang retreated halfway, he couldn't help following.

Turning to meet his father's questioning eyes, Liang instinctively wanted to find an excuse to evade it, but couldn't find a suitable one for a while, so he had to say vaguely: "Light is at the vending machine now."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that this explanation was too abrupt, so he paused, and finally said truthfully: "Before I came to the Chess Academy this morning, Guang Zeng specially told me not to call him during lunch break, and don't call him Send text messages, if he doesn't resist calling me or texting me, and let me ignore them, don't respond to him."

Liang smiled helplessly and bitterly at his father.

"Guang still said, he still said..." His speech suddenly became stumbling, and he looked away as if trying to avoid it. Liang no longer looked directly into his father's eyes, but turned his head and focused his eyes on a certain place on the wall. On the point, "Guang also said...until the end of the chess game this afternoon, he doesn't want to see me..."

The tail sound gradually weakened.

Finally, he told the truth bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste, but after saying it, Liang immediately regretted it.

Originally, he thought that such a willful and unreasonable request would be incomprehensible to his father. He was afraid that his father would misunderstand him. Liang just wanted to explain, but he saw a knowing smile slowly appearing from the corner of Taya Yukihiro's mouth. There seemed to be some kind of nostalgia in the smile.

"I think, I can understand Shinto-kun's thoughts." Gently pressing Ryo's shoulder, and taking a step forward, Taya Yukiyo silently looked in front of the vending machine, and Hikaru bent down to take goods from the machine's opening. He took out a bottle of drink, then turned around and walked towards the lounge. He waited at the corner for a while, as if confirming that the light would not come out again in a short time, and then walked out of the corner first. On the way back to the examination room, he walked Said to Liang beside him, "I felt the same way when I challenged for the title of celebrity for the first time."

The memory seems to flash back to the day when I entered the final battle of the celebrity title for the first time——

"At that time, I didn't have you. My career has just started to improve. Although the family is a little better off, the expenses are still a bit stretched. Your mother still needs to go out to do odd jobs in order to subsidize the family." Ta Yayuki As Yang said, he slowly cast his gaze forward, "Mingzi...Although she never said 'must win chess', I have always seen her expectations of me."

While speaking, Taya Yukiyo turned his face sideways again, and looked at Ryo who was beside him.

"On the day of the final match of the Celebrity Tournament, your mother sent me out of the house as usual, and said to me with a smile, 'be careful on the road'. She didn't say a word about the chess game. Don't dare to turn around and look her in the eyes." Taya Xingyang paused, and then said, "Do you know why, Xiaoliang?"

Unexpectedly, his father would ask him a question, Liang was taken aback for a moment, he already had his own answer in his heart, but he still shook his head slightly.

"Because I'm afraid of seeing the expectation in your mother's eyes," Taya Yukiyo continued, "I'm also afraid that my lack of ability will make her expectation come to nothing, and her long-term hard work will be in vain."

After many years, the old story was brought up again, and thinking of the scene of that day, Taya Yukihiro couldn't help but smiled at Zhaoliang again, a little restraint and self-mockery that didn't match his age were rarely revealed in the smile.

"I still remember that the final round of the Celebrity Tournament was held in Ito City. After the first day of the chess game, I didn't call your mother. I just texted to report that it was safe until the results came out the next day. , I finally won the title of celebrity, and I finally dialed your mother's phone to report the good news to her." Taya Yukihiro looked at Liang, and said, "I think, Shinto-kun is probably the same now. I feel the same way."

That kind of mood that bears the expectations of important people, anxious and eager to win chess;

That feeling of wanting to see you, but afraid that I will relax after seeing you and dare not see you.

"Although you don't say anything, Xiao Liang, you must have very high expectations for Jin Teng-kun's round."

In the phrase.

Father already knew all his thoughts.

Although he knew that Light must have returned to the lounge at this moment, when he passed by, Liang still couldn't help but glanced at the lounge with the sliding door closed.

What Liang didn't know was that just a second before he passed the lounge, a little fool just retracted his head and silently closed the door of the lounge with a sad expression.

After a short break of one hour, the chess game continued at 1 pm.

However, without any buffer, at the beginning of the continuation of the battle, Bai 62 in the lower right corner "pressed" and brought the chess game into the rhythm of the battle again——

After White's 62, no matter whether Black pulls left or right, it will leave an opportunity for White to take advantage of. In the next move, Black 63 unsurprisingly made a "long" move at the "three of 15". Immediately, White 64 "shoulder" Facing White's provocation, Black 65 directly uses a move to "fly" to avoid the "Two of 12" position in order to prevent being used by White.

When it comes to black 69, white seals the top of black at the cost of discarding a piece, and grabs the position in the middle belly first, while black captures white 66 and gains a greater value on the lower right.

After the first round of confrontation, the black and white sides were temporarily tied, evenly matched.

At this moment, Kuang Yuanren suddenly made a move that surprised everyone in the review room——

White 70 actually left the "twelfth of 16", "fly"!

Under normal circumstances, in the current chess game, White 70 uses the "jump" of "15 out of [-]" as a response, so as to establish a defense line on the upper right to prevent black chess from the upper left and right from entering, which is a normal response!

For a while, there was an uproar in the review room.

After the heated debate among the crowd, it can only be understood tentatively that the reason why Kuwamoto Inbo made such a move was because he was fully sure of the final result of the fine chess.

Within the Youxuan.

Seeing that Kuwahara Jin sent Bai 70 to the "16th Twelve", Hikaru was slightly taken aback.

However, right now is not the time to worry about others, thanks to Bai's move, Guang can finally free up his attention to sort out the upper chess shape.

After thinking for a moment, black 71 then made the "seventeen of 7", "touch", to prevent the white piece from "flying" to expand the upper left field of the white piece.

After being preempted by black, White 72 responded with "digging" immediately, waiting for an opportunity to find black's breaking point.

Later, the black and white sides launched a new round of offensive in the upper left corner.

Black 73 hits and eats, and White 74 decisively removes two black pieces at the "6-75" position. Then, Black 76 "makes up", and when it reaches White 8, Kuwahara Jin's move at "[-]-[-]" "Broken" surprised everyone in the review room!

Review room.

Kurata has a big heart, and he shouted directly: "Ms. Kuwahara's actions are too reluctant, right?!"

Indeed, given the current situation, Bai 76's invasion and elimination in "Sixteen of Thirteen" is sufficient. If this move was done by others, it will definitely be criticized, but the person who made this move is none other than Jiu Kuwabara Yoshimoto, who has experienced the battlefield and is cunning and scheming, after being speechless, combined with the incredible 13th move of white chess before, and several moves after that, it is not difficult to understand why the white 70 move was played like this —— Kuwahara Inbo He wants to eliminate all the hidden dangers of his own white chess on the right side through the steady hand of white 76, and then fight in the middle belly without distraction.

This also means that from Bai 72's "set up" to Bai 76's "break", all these moves were premeditated by Mr. Kuwahara!

It is also because of Mr. Kuwahara's unconventional tricks that the black chess that was originally leading in the empty space and the overall situation is separated by the white chess in an instant. At this moment, the white chess on the left and the white chess on the left There is also a faint echoing trend——

After White 76, the chess game suddenly became complicated again.

It turned out that the old man had this plan.

Between You Xuan, a smile rose from the corner of his lips.

He only raised his eyelids, glanced at Kuwahara Ren with his eyes half-raised, and immediately settled down on the "9 of 77" position.

Kuwahara Ren frowned slightly, and then responded with "long".

Almost without a pause, Black 79 took advantage of the trend to encircle the top, and after White 80 tipped, Black 81 again clinging to Black 79 to encircle the top...

As the chess game continues to deepen, the main battlefield of black and white is gradually shifting from upper left to lower right.

Going to the lower right, Kuwahara Jin's goal remains the same, it is still to block the black chess.

Faced with White's blockade, Black 103 grows calmly, White 104 blocks from above again, Black 105 echoes Black 103, forms a left and right double-team to White 102, White 106 immediately recoils under White 102, Black 107 receives back again , white 108 and then red, black 109 paste.

Going to White 112, Hitoshi Kuwahara finally got his wish to seal the black chess below, and successfully turned the thick hollow in the middle into a solid ground, but at this time, the empty space on the board is still slightly ahead of black.

In order to expand the results of the lower left and lower middle lanes, Guang began to attack the two white chess pieces in the third and fourth lanes below.

According to the current situation, it is obviously impossible for the two white chess pieces below to be captured.

But if you want to win a victory, it is not enough to ensure that the white chess below is not captured, and at the same time maintain a continuous threat to the black chess above.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, Kuwahara Ren's mind was circling rapidly with every possible move.

But maybe it was because he was too confident in himself, or maybe he wanted too much. In actual action, Kuwahara Jin placed the white 114 directly on the right side of the black 113!

This miscalculation is tantamount to surrendering all the 3×5 ground below to black!

In the review room, everyone who was nervously watching the game was stunned.

Even Hitoshi Kuwahara, who had just dropped the chess piece, was shocked when he realized the mistake he had made.

As for his opposite seat, Shinto Hikaru seemed to have been waiting for this moment. As soon as Kuwahara Hitoshi showed his flaws, he seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on the white chess below!

When a master fights, he often makes a wrong move and loses everything.

In the future, although Kuwahara Jin quickly recovered his senses and made up for it in time, facing the continuous and fierce attack of black chess, white chess still retreated steadily, full of loopholes.

As far as black's 131 moves, black's empty space is nearly 20 more than white's, and there is no need to worry about life and death.

As far as the current board is concerned, black has firmly taken the lead.

In the examination room.

Seeing that Hikari was stepping towards his first Honinbo title step by step, Ryo couldn't help clenching his fist with his right hand, and his breathing became a little disordered due to excitement.

However, just inadvertently glanced at it, when he saw Taya Yukihiro looking at the rebroadcast screen, his brows suddenly tightened.

Liang's heart also sank slightly.

He then turned his head to look at the broadcast screen, and after a while, he turned his head to look at the chess game in front of him that was exactly the same as the one on the screen.

The reason why my father showed the micro expression just now is definitely not for no reason.

but where?What could be the reason?

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time passed quietly under Liang's re-examination.

During the 10 minutes that seemed to be stretched infinitely, the expression on Liang's face changed from confusion, to hesitation, and then to stunned.

He finally understood the meaning of his father's frown just now.

Outside the window, it was getting late.

The glow of July is like a light and agile phoenix spreading its wings in the purple sky.

After nearly four hours of fierce fighting between the two sides.

The first day of the Honinbo Seventh Tournament finally came to a close at 05:30 in the afternoon.

After Guang handed over the chess envelope to the staff, and returned to the chess pier to sort out the chess pieces with Sang Yuan Ren, the old man suddenly said: "Boy, it's better not to be too tough when playing chess, otherwise the character of the chess player may be changed." very bad."

I have already played against Kuang Yuanren many times before, and I am already familiar with the old man's usual tricks when sealing chess. Seeing you again this time, I feel very kind, and I just raised the corner of my mouth, and smiled back. : "No wonder you always speak so aggressively. It turns out that it is because of your personality. Thank you for your advice."

Hearing this, Kuwahara Ren's eyes twitched.

Hikaru closed the chess cover, and said with a smile: "However, if saying this can relieve your nervousness, it is my honor as a junior. In order to express my [-]% respect to you, I will definitely do my best in tomorrow's chess game." go."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and bowed to the old man and the staff, and then turned around and gave the old man a resolute and unrestrained back.

Although as soon as he entered the elevator, a certain light immediately froze.

Due to the inconvenience of parking at the Qiyuan, Liang parked his car a little far away when he came in the morning.

He agreed with Guang to wait at the parking spot after the chess match.

So, he trotted all the way to the parking spot, and when he was still seven or eight meters away, he saw a certain gentleman had arrived one step ahead of him.

Just about to speed up and run over, when Liang turned sideways slightly, Guang stopped suddenly.

It was through this turning sideways that Guang could see clearly that under the soft streetlight, his Mr. Taya seemed to be pointing the way to an old lady.

No wonder when he looked from afar just now, he always felt that today's Liang was not standing upright as usual, and his body was slightly leaning forward.

For some reason, looking at the scene in front of him and someone who was patiently guiding the old lady, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Pounding, as if a big heart shape was about to be knocked out of his chest.

Naturally, one cannot be bothered to help others.

Guang inexplicably felt that his throat was a little dry, swallowed lightly, moved around like a stalker, and hid behind a nearby telephone pole.

Now that I've seen it all, I can't bear to just stand there in a daze and do nothing, just look around, and quietly take out the "criminal tool" from my pocket——after checking whether the phone is muted , pointed the camera at someone a few meters away——

However, the night is hazy and the distance is far away. No matter how the light adjusts the focus, the portraits in the picture are still blurred, and the entire screen is full of snowflake-like noise.

depressed!

And really not reconciled not to shoot.

Hastily pressed two cards secretly against time, poked his head and saw the old lady walking in the opposite direction, while Mr. Taya, an enthusiastic citizen, was still watching the old lady, Guang deliberately lowered the sound of his footsteps, walked quietly behind Liang, and put his hands together As soon as he twisted around his neck, his whole body hung on Liang's body.

"Kirara..." rubbing his head against the back of Liang's neck, his voice murmured viscously, and the light circled Liang tighter, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Liang was taken aback for a moment, and reacted on the spot for half a second.

He knows the little habits of light—

On weekdays, Guang always calls him "Liang". If he is in public, he will call him "Taya" to avoid suspicion; when he is angry, he will call him by his full name; when teasing him, he likes to call him "beauty"; Call him "my taya chess player"; and when he is really happy, he likes to improvise and create words by himself, just like the kirakira before, and the current kirara...

Unconsciously, she lowered her head and pursed her lips, and then heard a voice full of smiles behind her.

"I've seen it all," said Hikaru, "Our Mr. Taya is so kind and enthusiastic to guide the old man passing by. As his boyfriend, I feel very proud and proud!"

Boy friend.

Liang muttered silently in his heart.

It seemed that this was the first time I heard Guang say this title in front of my face, and Liang blushed immediately.

Although I was a little embarrassed, I still couldn't help knowing the consultant: "Have you seen it all?"

"Ah, I've seen it all!" Guang nodded and replied louder.

Not only did I see it, but I also secretly took several photos!

In the morning, Liang parked the car on a small road behind the Chess Academy.

Even though it was a weekday, the path was deserted.

Under the warm yellow light, there are only two long figures embracing each other one behind the other.

In the ambiguous atmosphere, Guang hugged Liang tightly, secretly kissed the back of Liang's fair neck, and said, "I'm so happy."

Some sentences without beginning or end.

Liang clasped the halo on his own arms, and turned his face slightly: "Huh?"

Guang laughed silly again, and said, "I just feel happy to see you whenever and wherever. I don't know why."

As soon as the words fell, Liang shook his head slightly.

"No," Liang said, "You just said you didn't want to see me this morning."

"I..." What Liang said was indeed the truth, Guang couldn't refute it for a while, hummed a few times, and finally confessed honestly, "Isn't it because you are too lethal... I was afraid that seeing you would disturb our army's morale, so I decided to let you go." -"

That's why... I can't see you.

It's not "don't want to see", but "can't see".

I can't see you, can't hear your voice, and dare not look at your expression.

Ting Guang suddenly stopped talking, and Liang did not pursue the question any further.

He actually understands everything.

It's just that sometimes, I still want to hear my lover say what's in my heart.

If you don't want to talk, find a way to let him talk.

Now, I finally heard Guang himself admitting that our scheming little teacher is like a child who has successfully obtained important secrets from the adults in places that the light cannot see, and smiled secretly.

Clutching Guang's arms tightly, he said in a low voice, "Me too."

It's just that his "happiness" may not be the same as that of the light.

For him, light has long been a existence that makes people want to smile just by thinking about it.

The smile on the corner of his lips became more and more irrepressible.

Turning around involuntarily, Liang gently caressed Shangguang's waist.

Over the years, he has been watching Guang's growth from the special seat, watching Guang become more calm and calm in his actions, and learn to be indifferent to him, but no matter how he behaves outside, when facing himself, Guang is still the same The teenagers he was familiar with—some were reckless, some couldn't speak their minds, but they were still innocent and innocent.

Moving his hands along Guang's waist to his back, Liang embraced Guang and gently hugged him into his arms.

Just as I was about to say something, I was preempted by Guang: "Do you think I today..."

Looking up at Liang, Guang hesitated to speak.

He originally wanted to ask, how do you think I am doing today!As soon as the words came to his lips, no matter how he thought about it, it seemed to be a cliché in disguise, and the object of his special question was his rival Toya Ryo, a famous celebrity. Hikaru hesitated for a moment, and resolutely changed his words: "Aren't I super good today! Super hard work!"

Looking at Liang expectantly, his eyes seemed to be dotted with little stars, shining continuously.

"Well, you worked so hard!" Completely immersed in Hikari's smile, he couldn't help kissing Hikari's eyes, and when he looked at Hikari again, Ryo couldn't help but hug him tightly.

"Are you tired? Go home first, or eat first?" Liang asked softly with his chin lightly touching his shiny cheeks.

There might be something special about the bright voice.

The vitality that was still full just now disappeared as if it had been withdrawn after this inquiry.

But he was not in a hurry to go back, Guang hugged Liang, leaned his whole head on Liang's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm tired, I'm almost exhausted to death!" He muttered again in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Kuwahara so annoying! Just admit defeat sooner!"

"Well, how annoying!"

In the air, there was a gentle echo suddenly.

Nani?

Light froze for a moment.

He couldn't help taking a few steps back, blinking his eyes at Liang, his face full of disbelief.

Originally, he just wanted to complain, and he didn't expect that the idiot who was hugging him would say anything more serious than "Stop joking!", but, he didn't expect...I didn't expect that such a rigid person would one day Will say, yeah, that's nasty.

Light was simply shocked.

He looked at Liang with round eyes, too surprised to say a word.

On the other side of him, Liang didn't know what he said wrong, but also blinked a pair of innocent eyes and looked at Guang with a puzzled expression.

The two looked at each other like this for a long time, as if they suddenly realized that Ryo was aggrieved but explained very seriously: "Because Kuwamoto Inbo blocked my way."

"Ah?" What's the situation?

Ignoring Guang's question marks all over his head, Liang said again: "Not only blocked my way, but also snatched you away from me for so long, occupied you for so long."

He actually said something like "occupation", his face blushed, and he realized that he had accidentally tricked another person, and felt a little sorry, so he helped the old man and said, "Well, it's actually not easy for the old man..."

But when he received Liang Fei's slap in the face, he stopped talking immediately.

When I got home, I was still a little excited.

On the way back, he calculated carefully again, and as of Feng Qi, he had at least fifteen more moves than White.

While sitting on the sofa watching TV, Guang couldn't hold back, and started counting the mesh again with his fingers.

After counting and counting, I realized that one pair of hands was not enough. At this time, Liang just came out of the kitchen and returned to the sofa, and Guang pulled his right hand to continue counting.

"Eleven, twelve, thirteen... Liang, I... um!" Halfway through the words, a piece of mango was stuffed into his mouth, he chewed it twice quickly, and continued inarticulately, "No, you ..."

"I know, I know," Liang interrupted the light again, "You want to say that when you sealed the chess today, the real space was at least ten more than Kuwamoto Inbo, didn't you?"

A chicken nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, and hurriedly swallowed the mango in his mouth. Before he wanted to say something, Liang forked another piece of mango and brought it to Guang's mouth: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

After feeding a plate of mangoes into Guang's mouth, he gently wiped off the mango stains on the corners of his lips with his fingertips, patted the light lightly, and reminded softly: "It's getting late, take a rest, and go take a bath."

Guang seemed to be in a good mood, nodded his head, and answered cheerfully, "Okay!"

Ten minutes later, he stood outside the door and watched the bathroom door slowly close in front of him.

The moment Guang closed the door with his pajamas, the smile on Liang's face faded away.

His eyes were still fixed on the bathroom door, but his dark green eyes were getting darker and darker.

Today's chess game, at first glance, seems to be the victory of black chess, but perhaps because black played too smoothly, Guang unconsciously overlooked a crucial point.

However, he cannot say...

The author has something to say:

After the chess match on the first day, Mr. Kuwahara suddenly sneezed loudly on his way back.

The old man rubbed his nose and muttered silently: Who is scolding me behind my back?

In other words, the next chapter has a lot of content, such as...for example...

So >///<…
