Late at night, Chen Anxia lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Whenever he closes his eyes, what comes to Chen Anxia's mind is that game of Go that is like a galaxy in the universe.
Not only that, the stars transformed from the black and white chess pieces formed a galaxy of their own, lingering in Chen Anxia's mind. They were magnificent and magnificent, making Chen Anxia somewhat entranced.
When watching the "Soul of Chess" anime in the past, Chen Anxia would be excited and passionate about it every time he saw a vision appearing on the chessboard.
But later, as he grew older, Chen Anxia knew that animation was animation after all, and the strange images that appeared on the chessboard were just special effects of animation.
Now, after personally coming into contact with Go, Chen Anxia discovered that the real Go is far more magnificent and magnificent than what is shown in the animation.
The spectacle you see when you are immersed in the theory of chess is really breathtaking.
Finally, while tossing and turning, Chen Anxia fell into sleep unconsciously.
At the moment before falling asleep, an idea vaguely appeared in Chen Anxia's mind.
'Playing Go... seems to feel good...'
After this thought emerged, a smile appeared on Chen Anxia's lips unconsciously.
As for the voice that appeared in his mind, Chen Anxia also thought about what it was.
But Chen Anxia couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
On the other side, Sakamoto Hui, the instructor of the Go club at the private Neptune Elementary School, kept thinking about that game in his mind, wanting to know how Black reversed the situation and finally turned defeat into victory.
The strong curiosity and desire for knowledge in her heart made Sakamoto Hui sleepless.
Not only Chen Anxia and Hui Sakamoto, but also Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Shintaro Ichiyanagi had trouble sleeping because of this game.
Among them, Shintaro Ichiyanagi, who once held the title of Chess Saint, stayed up all night, constantly studying the chess game, and the wonder and amazement in his heart became more and more intense.
It wasn't until the sky got slightly brighter that Shintaro Ichiyanagi stopped studying the chess game, took out his mobile phone, and looked up a number.
Looking at this number that he had not contacted for many years, Shintaro Ichiyanagi couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a determined look on his face, and dialed the number directly.
After the call was connected, Shintaro Ichiyanagi said directly, "Shigeo, I have decided to fight for the Holy Grail of chess again and take back my honor from Taya!"
On the other end of the phone, Morishita Shigeo, who had not yet woken up and was a little confused, suddenly woke up after hearing his best friend's words. Then he said with a look of surprise on his face, "Shintaro, you guy, you have finally made up your mind. It's great." Got it!"
Shintaro Ichiyanagi heard his best friend's usual tone, and his originally anxious heart suddenly calmed down, and he said, "I'm calling you this time. In addition to telling you the news, I also want you to help me recover and play a few games with me. "
Morishita Shigeo didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, and responded directly, "No problem, don't say a few rounds, just dozens or hundreds of rounds."
As he spoke, Morishita Shigeo couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and said with a serious look, "However, you must be prepared to lose first. During the years when you have fallen, I have been making progress!"
As he spoke, Morishita Shigeo exuded strong confidence.
At this time, Morishita Shigeo was already well-known. He was a well-known professional 9-dan chess player in the island country's chess circles and had many disciples.
Michio Shirakawa, who previously opened a Go classroom, is a disciple of Shigeo Morishita and is also a professional chess player.
It's no wonder Morishita Shigeo is so confident.
On the side, Morishita Shigeo's wife had just been awakened by Morishita Shigeo's loud voice and wanted to get angry at Morishita Shigeo.
However, after seeing the strong confidence Morishita Shigeo showed at this time and the radiant look on his face, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
This gesture made Morishita Shigeo's wife feel as if she had returned to the time when she had just met Morishita Shigeo, as if she had seen the high-spirited young man in his youth, and the anger in her heart disappeared unconsciously.
After hearing what Morishita Shigeo said, Shintaro Ichiyanagi couldn't help but smile knowingly and said, "Then let me look forward to your progress over the years."
"Ah, you will definitely not be disappointed." Morishita Shigeo affirmed.
Then, after chatting for a few more words, Morishita Shigeo hung up the phone.
On the side, the wife, who had been curious for a long time, directly asked, "Husband, whose phone number was it just now?"
Hearing this, Morishita Shigeo grinned cheerfully and said, "Who else could it be? She was the matchmaker who set up the matchmaking for us."
After saying that, Morishita Shigeo got up immediately and walked towards the chess room impatiently. At the same time, he said, "Honey, I'm going to the chess room to practice my chess skills. After you cook the rice, put it in the pot to heat up, and then I'll eat it when I come out."
Morishita Shigeo's wife did not respond to Morishita Shigeo, but because of Morishita Shigeo's words, her expression was a little dull, and she seemed to be trapped in memories.
Later, Morishita Shigeo's wife looked at the newborn sun outside the window and couldn't help but smile and said, "He is coming back. Once this news gets out, the chess world will be shaken..."
"This year's chess Holy Grail, this year's chess world, is really exciting..."
Morishita Shigeo's wife was also a professional chess player, but after getting married, she gradually retired from the chess world and became Morishita Shigeo's good wife.
It can be said that Morishita Shigeo's achievements today have a lot to do with his wife.
In another world, Miki Yuko was also tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, and all she could think about was that game of chess.
In the end, Miki Yuko simply decided not to sleep, got up directly, came to the chessboard in her room, and began to review the game.
Although it was not the first time to review the game, Yuko Miki was amazed by the chess game every time. Yuko Miki was addicted to it without knowing it, watching the natural growth of all things, and she couldn't extricate herself.
As for Miki Yuko's father, Miki Soshi, the holder of the title of Chess Saint in this world, he locked himself in the chess room after the chess game ended, not allowing anyone to enter.
Even Miki Yuko is the same.
At this time, Miki Soushi was also reviewing the previous game of chess again and again, trying hard to touch the vague and hazy avenue of chess theory.
However, a brand new avenue of chess theory is obviously not so easy to approach and touch.
This is the same even for Miki Aangshi, who has the title of chess saint and has unfathomable chess skills.
Of course Miki Soshi knew this and did not get discouraged or give up.
At the same time, Miki Aangshi's interest in Chen Anxia became more and more intense.
Because this avenue of chess theory that I tried so hard to touch was seen from Chen Anxia's unconstrained opening that day.
It's just that Chen Anxia is a character in the game "Soul of Chess".
So Miki Soshi is speculating whether the character Chen Anxia is based on reality or a certain chess player in history.
If so, does that mean that the Go manifested by this great chess theory has ever appeared in this world...
