Soon, the results of the first round of drawings were announced by the host.
In the top 16 of the Samsung Cup, the first person to draw the prize in the first round was Li Jie, and his opponent was Yukihiro Taya from Country R.
R country phalanx.
When Ogata Seiji saw this result, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The teacher’s opponent in this round turned out to be that child!
Although they had been away for a long time, Li Jie left an extremely deep impression on him. Just that extraordinarily unconventional 'point three three' move made him study for a long time.
The more he studied, the more he felt that this skill was infinitely mysterious.
At this time, Ogata suddenly remembered something. His teacher seemed to have played a game of chess with that child.
However, the teacher remained silent about the outcome of the chess game.
In that game of chess, I am afraid only the two sides know who wins and who loses.
However, Ogata had also made speculations about the outcome of that game. Before, he always thought that the teacher won the game.
But today, Ogata's confidence is not as strong as before.
During the recent period, he had heard the rumors circulating in the West China Chess Academy.
As soon as he thought of this, Ogata's eyes couldn't help but shift three points to the side, and glanced at the teacher Taya Yukihiro, and saw that the teacher's face was calm and unruffled.
'No surprise at all?' '
'That's right. Who is the teacher? How could he be shocked by such a trivial matter. '
Chinese phalanx.
At this time, the smile on Director Ma's face had disappeared and was replaced by solemnity.
The current situation is undoubtedly the worst.
In the first round of this tournament, the young genius who had high hopes met Yukihiro Taya, the number one Go player in Country R.
Lao Nie and Director Ma looked at each other silently, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
"Alas." Director Ma sighed upon seeing this, and said with emotion: "Tomorrow's game will probably be difficult for Xiao Du."
Lao Nie also sighed. He even felt that the Bangzi National Chess Academy was deliberately suppressing China's talented chess players.
Therefore, 'Duke' will face such a heavyweight opponent in the first round.
Thinking of this, Lao Nie couldn't help but feel a little angry. But the results of the lottery were all out, and the deal was already done. What else could be done?
We can only face it!
'Hopefully the pressure on the kid isn't too great. '
After thinking about it, Lao Nie turned his head and glanced at Li Jie a few rows behind.
However, when he saw Li Jie's calm look, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
'Huh? '
'This kid has a good heart. '
On the other side, when the results of the first round of draws came out, Li Jie instantly felt that more eyes were focused on him.
Among them, there was both surprise and regret.
Facing the strange looks from everyone, Li Jie's heart did not waver.
Ta Ya travels to the ocean, it’s not like he’s never done it before.
He still vividly remembers the last game of chess. Although he won that game, it was not easy to win.
If we throw away those bad tricks of later generations and the two of them stand on the same starting line, Li Jie may not necessarily be able to beat Taya Xingyang.
After all, he can be regarded as the "Destined Child" in the "Game Soul" world. Of course, Taya Yuhiro is just the Destined Child of the previous generation.
The only children of destiny in this generation are Shindo Hikaru and Taya Ryo.
"well."
Suddenly, Li Jie heard a sigh in his ears. Immediately, Xu Houwudan on the side patted his shoulder and encouraged him.
"Xiao Du, come on tomorrow."
Xu Hou's words sounded like encouragement, but no matter how Li Jie listened, he felt that this guy's tone was very pessimistic, as if Xu Hou had seen that he had lost.
"Thanks."
Although there was something wrong with Xu Hou's tone, Li Jie still showed a smile.
…
…
…
The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.
Accompanied by Lao Nie, Li Jie arrived at the game room early. Before the game started, Lao Nie gave serious instructions.
"Xiao Du, try to keep your mind calm during the game later. Don't be frightened by Taya Xingyang's name. Although he holds the top five titles in Country R, his chess is not without weaknesses."
"Yes, I will, Mr. Nie."
Last night, Lao Nie collaborated with several national players to conduct a surprise training for Li Jie, and carefully helped him analyze Ta Ya Xingyang's chess style.
"Remember, just follow the policy we set yesterday and try to minimize your own mistakes."
In fact, Lao Nie is troubled when he cares. Anyone who has played chess with Li Jie knows that his chess skills are very good at letting go of mistakes.
While they were talking, the door to the chess room suddenly opened, and Taya Yukihiro walked in wearing his iconic blue kimono. Although his hair was a little gray, it did not affect his fierce momentum at all.
'this? '
The moment Lao Nie saw Ta Ya Xingyang, he seemed a little surprised. Then he looked down at the watch in his hand and carefully checked the time.
It turns out, yes, it’s only 9:30 now.
The start time of the game is ten o'clock. According to past practice, Taya Yukihiro usually arrives a few minutes before the start of the game.
Only when he meets a player who makes him serious will Taya Yukihiro arrive early.
'Does Taya Yukihiro value this game so much? '
However, the next scene surprised Lao Nie even more. He saw Ta Ya Xingyang nodding towards Li Jie on the side, as if saying hello.
Immediately, Lao Nie turned his eyes and glanced at Li Jie, watching Li Jie smile slightly at Ta Ya Xingyang, as if in response.
"Xiao Du, have you known each other before?" Lao Nie leaned slightly and asked in a low voice.
Li Jie nodded and said, "Well, I met Mr. Tayan a few times when I was in Country R."
"Uh." Lao Nie looked stunned and said in surprise: "Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
Li Jie spread his hands and said, "You didn't even ask."
"Then how did you meet?"
This discovery made Lao Nie very curious and couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"When I was in Country R, I played a few games of chess with Taya Yukihiro's son, and we were barely chess friends. Later, we got to know him more often."
Li Jie didn't mention much about the past events in Country R, including the small matter of winning against Taya Xingyang.
Because even if he tells it, others may not necessarily believe it. Rather than being doubted, it is better to prove it directly with facts.
On the other side, after Taya Xingyang entered the room, apart from saying hello to Li Jie, he made no other moves. He just sat quietly in front of the chessboard with his eyes closed to relax.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Time passed slowly, and Taya Xinghi remained silent and sat quietly. Because of his silence, others also became silent.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
At this time, the only sound left in the chess room was the clicking sound of the pointer turning.
The recorder glanced at Taya Xingyang, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and then glanced at Li Jie sitting opposite him. He didn't know what was going on. He always felt that something was not right in the atmosphere, and there seemed to be a tension in the air. breath.
