[bright] time

(light side)

The day Zuo Wei left happened to be Shiwuye,

The silvery-white moon hung round and big in the sky. It was the first night Zuo Wei disappeared.

After that, I always have a kind of fear when I see the full moon.

After returning to the chessboard and holding the pieces again, I finally dreamed of Zuo Wei.

I think he came to say goodbye?

Smiling softly, he handed me his most cherished paper fan that never leaves him.

...inheritance...

I can think so?Zuowei.

Then Zuowei looked behind, as if someone was calling him,

It was a divine looking, white light,

Was it the Buddha who came to pick up Zuowei?

Zuo Wei said that the sins of those who kill themselves are very serious, and it is impossible to be forgiven by the Buddha.

However, after wandering for thousands of years, is this punishment enough?

That ray of light is proof that Zuowei has been forgiven, right?

He can finally be reincarnated as a human being with a real body,

Use your own hand to hold the piece again, and play his favorite Go again, right?

It must be like this, right?

Because, Zuowei who left the dreamland was smiling.

After that day, seeing the full moon, I was no longer afraid, no longer sad, only nostalgia, only comfort.

Fifteen Nights is special to me, it is the origin of my Go.

Like a ritual, I will always be on this day,

Sitting in front of the chessboard under the silvery moonlight, I played Zuo Wei and my last game of chess, an unfinished game.

Then confirm my oath again,

I want to investigate "Hand of God".

***

I asked the agency before.If there are any chess records that may be related to Xiu Ce in the library of Kansai Chess Academy, I will ask him to copy them and send them to me. Of course, it will not be free.

The club’s girlfriend, Li Jia, transferred to Tokyo because of the move, so he would go to Beijing to look for her whenever he has a long vacation. At this time, I need to be his shield and tell the club’s mother:

"The club is very good at my house, and it didn't cause us any trouble. Now I have gone to work and haven't come back yet."

or else,

"Mom, I'm playing chess with Fuji, I'll call you back later.that's all. 』

Play this tape.

Honestly, a little guilty.But I have to ask others, there is no way, please forgive me, Mama She.

In this way, a while ago, I received a chess record from the agency, a chess record that had been burned to one-third and had no code.Although this chess record is incomplete, it has a faint air of Xiu Ce style, but it also has an indescribably strange feeling.So he sent it to me.

When I saw the chess record, the first thing that caught my eye was that the concept of "cloth stone" was missing in the game record.

"Bushi" was opened by Honinbo in the Warring States period (he is the first generation of Honinbo).The previous fighting methods were to lay out several pieces on the board before starting the game.So this chess record is definitely not something from the Edo period.

Playing Xiu Ce's chess, but not Xiu Ce..., I only know one person in this world....

Xiu Ce is good at handling black players, and most of the famous games handed down now are black players.

When Zuo Wei played chess with me, he often played chess with white pieces, and the strategy of playing chess with white stones...I know it very well.

In this anonymous game record, the side holding the white pieces should be... Zuo Ding, right?I have this feeling.

So who is in charge?

Searching through the chess records of chess players of the same era as Xiu Ce, I couldn't find a similar chess strategy.Could it be a chess player who has comparable strength to Xiu Ce but is unknown?

Or is he just a certain chess player forgotten by the times like Zuo Wei?

In order to find these answers and confirm this inference, I started to reconstruct this game record.

It's not easy, however.

The oldest surviving game record is the game record played by Nichiren and his disciple Kichishomaru (Nichiro) in [-], but unfortunately, this game record is accused of being a forgery of later generations, which is not credible.

Maybe the one I have is a fake?

An incomplete game record, the rules of the Heian era, Xiu Ce's chess strategy, and the true identity of the black chess player cannot be tested. Based on these, I want to deduce the answer that this game record is "made by Zuo Wei".

There are thousands of possibilities for the solution, but I have already decided first, it is stupid, it is very risky, but I still want to try it.

During the rebuilding process, all I thought about was "If I were Zuowei, how would I play this game of chess that uses Heian rules".

Then from the board position, upper and lower moves, the position surrounded by black and white pieces, the offense and defense of both sides, speculate on various possible sequences, and find out each missing move.

Just looking at Bai Yue, my thoughts seem to be guided by someone, the chess pieces out of order, the missing corner, the broken chess game is slowly becoming more and more complete.

At last,

The chess record was completed in Shiwuye.

The night of loss is also the night of recovery.

This is really Zuowei's chess record.

***

The agency said that this chess record was brought when the abbot of Zhijiyuan asked Kansai Chess Academy to supervise whether it was genuine.

The result is fake.It was imitated by later generations under the rules of the Heian era.

The reason is that the chess style is similar to Xiu Ce's, but the times are different, so it was rejected.

The truth, only I know.

Even so, I don't think it matters.

Because what Zuo Wei wants is not the strongest name, but the chance to play against each other.

Zuo Wei doesn't want me to vindicate him.Because he also thanks to Toranojiro, played a lot of his favorite Go, that's enough.

However, I still want to know where this chess record came from and how it was handed down?

This is how this trip to Kyoto began.

Will things go as I imagined?

I always feel like stepping into a trap set by someone...

***

Intellectual Product Temple, Miaoyuan Court, Toji Temple, Suzuchong Temple, Xifang Temple, Tenryu Temple, Guanglong Temple, Qingliang Temple, Ryoan Temple, Sanqian Temple, Baojing Temple, Kurama Temple, Guichuan Temple, Xiangguo Temple, Forest Qiu Temple, Yuanguang Temple, Zhien Temple, Horan Temple...

What did I do during the seven days in Kyoto?

That is to do temple tours every day..., all the famous or unknown, large and small temples to visit one by one, counting, there are 23 temples, right?

When the temple I visited reached the sixth one, I suddenly had the feeling that... this is someone's plan....

The abbot of Zhijiyuan said, "The abbot of Miaoyuan Court knows the origin of the chess record"; the abbot of Miaoyuan Court said, "The abbot of Dongji Temple knows the origin of chess record"; the abbot of Dongji Temple said, "The abbot of Suzuchong Temple I know the origin of chess records"; the abbot of Suzuki Temple said...

In the end, none of the old bald donkeys could tell why, only the name of another temple...

And these old bald donkeys have one thing in common, that is, when they hear my questions, they always say:

"Let's talk about the next set first."

If this is not a trick, what is it?

I have been tricked to this day, and I also gave up.Anyway, playing chess with the old bald donkeys is also quite interesting, and there are quite a few of them who have the highest amateur rank of six-dan chess players.There are also quite a few unexpectedly strong players.

When I’m hungry, I’ll entertain me with pastries and vegetarian dishes.

Even if it gets late, I will be allowed to stay overnight. Isn't that what travel is all about?

In the few days when Taya is not here, let's play chess and practice with them.

To be honest, I am very satisfied with just one of Zuo Wei's chess records.

That's how I made my wish at the beginning, one is enough.

Just take it as a visit to the place where Zuo Wei once lived, nothing else.

In addition, I also want to know where the end point of this scheme is.

What is the purpose of the layout.

Now I am sitting on the bus, ready to go to the next monastery, Jiguang Temple.

There is no such temple in the bus route map in my hand, but I heard that as long as you get off at the Niwang Gate in Dongshan District, you can find it by looking around there.

Recalling the origin of Jiguang Temple...,

I have a hunch that this will be the end.

Because the name "Honinbo" originated from this temple.

The first generation of Honinbo is Honinbo Suansha, also known as Rihai, and Jiguang Temple was first presided over by him.Master Ri Hai was a great master of the Go world at that time.Oda Nobunaga loves Go very much. He was overwhelmed by Master Nikkai's chess skills and gave him the title of "Celebrity". He also gave the head of Jiguang Temple to Master Nikkai. Master Nikkai named this place "Honinbo". This is why Master Rikai is called the first Honinbo.

It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes not only has very obvious similarities with these old bald donkeys, but is also an old monster who is scheming and likes to play tricks.
