Island Chess Academy.
The nominal person in charge of this National Children's Go Competition is Taya, a celebrity who stands at the pinnacle of the contemporary chess world.
The actual person in charge is Ogata Seiji, a disciple of Taya Renmei and a well-known professional 9-dan chess player in the Go world.
At this time, Ogata Seiji was already at the Island Country Chess Academy, presiding over and checking matters for the upcoming competition.
This time, the total number of applicants for the National Children's Go Competition reached just 1,024.
According to the plan, a total of five rounds of competition will be held on Saturday, and half of the players will be eliminated in each round to determine the top 32.
After that, there will be five rounds of competition on Sunday, with half of the people eliminated in each round, and the champion, runner-up and third runner-up will eventually be determined.
Among them, the competition for the championship, runner-up and third place will be held in the fifth round.
Of course, the list of matches for this National Children's Go Competition has also been arranged.
The battle list is not arranged by name, but by the serial number when registering.
This serial number corresponds to the number of people who signed up, and there are 1024 numbers in total.
At the same time, the corresponding serial number will be informed to the contestants when registering. On the day of the competition, they can come to the chess academy to collect the number plate based on the registration voucher.
Because of the number of players in the competition, many students from the island country chess academy were arranged by their teachers to come over to help like Yigao Waya.
Among them, Yoshigao Wakani was assigned the task of guiding the contestants and maintaining order at the scene.
For Yoshiko Wakashi, a busy day has begun.
After guiding more than a hundred contestants, Watsuya Yoshigao wanted to take a drink of water and take a break.
While drinking water with Gu Yigao, a voice with a bad tone suddenly said, "Hey, look at what table I'm playing at."
This sound made Hegu Yigao's drinking water stop suddenly, and he almost choked.
The reason why this happened was not because the voice sounded suddenly, but because of the unkind tone in the voice.
If he hadn't listened to the content of the voice and just listened to the unkind tone, Hegu Yigao might have thought that he had offended the person asking the question.
After putting away the water glasses, Hegu Yigao couldn't help but look at the person who asked the question.
Seeing this, Hegu Yigao immediately understood why the person who asked the question spoke in that tone.
In Watani Yoshigao's first impression, although the person asking the question in front of him was dressed normally, the bad smell lingering about him was so strong that Watani Yoshigao directly classified him as a problem. child.
Gu Yigao has been in contact with this kind of problem children before, so he naturally knows how unreasonable and difficult they are to deal with.
At the same time, Watsuya Yigao also understands that unless necessary, he must not have anything to do with such problem children, otherwise trouble is likely to come to his door.
Therefore, without thinking too much, Hegu Yigao wanted to answer the question of the problematic child in front of him as soon as possible and let him leave as soon as possible.
He and Gu Yigao glanced at the number plate worn by the problem child, then picked up the guidance manual on the table and started reading it.
Soon, Hegu Yigao found the corresponding information and said, "You are No. 628, and the first round of the game will be held at table No. 218."
The problem child's expression did not change when he heard this, and he continued to ask in a bad tone, "Let's see who my opponent is again."
It was only then that Yoshigao Wakani discovered that the problem with the child in front of him was not only a problem with his tone, but also his command-like way of speaking, which made people very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the issue of responsibility, He Gu Yigao would probably not want to talk to this problem child when he heard this tone and way of speaking.
After taking a breath, Hegu Yigao tried to calm down his mind, looked at the instruction manual again and said, "Your opponent is contestant No. 125."
"Where's his name?" The problem child's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he continued to ask in the same tone and way of speaking.
"I don't know." Hegu Yigao already felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, but he still tried to suppress it and said, "It's not written in the guidance manual."
When the problem child heard this, he frowned slightly, then glanced at He Gu Yigao and turned around to leave. When he left, he lightly said, "It's really useless."
boom!
Like a ignited powder keg, if it weren't for the last trace of reason suppressing him, he and Gu Yigao would have had a good time with that problem child.
Naturally, Yoshigao Watsuya has completely remembered this problem child, and said through gritted teeth, "No. 628, right? I will pay close attention to you, and I hope your chess skills will be better than your words."
"Otherwise, you, I will definitely ridicule you, even if the Tayan people come here, it won't work!"
All this was seen by the disguised Ichiyanagi Shintaro.
There is no doubt that the problem child who angered Watsuya Yoshigao was Ichiyanagi Shintaro's son.
And Shintaro Ichiyanagi also recognized Watsuya Yoshitaka, a disciple of Morishita Shigeo, and knew that his son's tone and way of speaking really deserved a beating.
Involuntarily, Shintaro Ichiyanagi's face showed a look of helplessness, and he planned to find an opportunity to reconcile afterwards.
As for now, Shintaro Ichiyanagi doesn't want to reveal his identity yet.
At the same time, not far from Waya Yoshigao, another college student who was assigned to guide the contestants and maintain order on the scene was using his spare time at work to study the life-and-death chess set by his teacher.
This student, named Asumi Nase, is a rare beautiful girl student in the island country's chess academy. She is now 13 years old.
At this time, Asumi Nase was looking at the life-and-death chess in front of her with a frown on her face. She obviously encountered a problem and couldn't think of the correct solution for a while.
However, whenever someone came to ask, Asumi Nase would frown, put on a sweet smile, and answer their questions in a gentle voice.
This kind of gentleness and affinity that belongs exclusively to Asumi Nase has also made Asumi Nase very popular among the chess courts in the island country.
After once again solving a contestant's doubts, Nase Asumi focused her attention on the life-or-death chess in front of her again, and her brows furrowed again unconsciously.
Bang!
At this moment, the sound of a chess piece suddenly sounded.
Before Asumi Nase could react, a white stream of light fell from the sky and fell directly into the chess piece of life and death.
In the eyes of Asumi Nase, after this stream of light fell, the white chess piece that seemed to be dying due to being surrounded was instantly full of life and came to life completely.
Seeing this, Nase Asumi's heart was shaken, and she subconsciously looked up.
Asumi Nase wants to see who has solved the life-and-death chess game carefully laid out by professional 9-dan chess players...
