Chi Feichi thought about the few moves he made before Haneda Hideyoshi said, "The situation is very good." He thought about it for a while, but finally said nothing and put a chess piece on the chessboard.
"Snapped……"
"Snapped……"
"Snapped!"
The chess pieces fell onto the chessboard one by one, making a crisp sound.
People who don't understand Go will look at Haneda Hideyoshi's calm expression, then look at Chi Feichi's calm expression as before, and then look at the chessboard.
It was a mistake for them to judge the situation by looking at their faces. Not only were the two men's faces expressionless, they even moved at about the same speed and strength.
Is there currently a stalemate?
But the stalemate in chess shouldn't last that long. Even if the levels are equal, the balance will always tilt repeatedly at both ends as the moves are made.
Hanayamain Chisakura reached the front seat, looked down at the chess game for a while, noticed Haneda Hideyoshi's face, and sighed inwardly.
As expected of a professional chess player, no matter what the situation is, he can hide his emotions behind his face.
In this regard, she is still much worse than the Taige celebrities.
Haneda Hideyoshi was mentally prepared in advance and focused on the moves of the chess game. Even if he accidentally encountered a trap and a killer move, he would quickly stabilize his mind, reflect on Chi Feichi's layout and his own mistakes, and try not to be fooled next time.
When he really faced off against Chi Feichi, he realized that Chi Feichi had not used all his strength against Huashanyuan Qianying. Only when he played against him this time did he clearly feel how difficult Chi Feichi was.
Not only were the chess pieces on the chessboard filled with an air of absolute death, but even he, the chess player, seemed to be regarded by Chi Feichi as a chess piece, a 'master chess piece'.
If we use the Chinese Thirty-six Strategies as an analogy, he and Chi Feichi have experienced many strategies by now.
It seems that the moves are soft and painless, but in fact, the killing move is hidden deeply. This is naturally a "smile hiding a knife"; a clever move made some of the corner chess pieces that he killed come alive, making those chess pieces look like ferocious giant beasts, but in fact they may just be Being strong on the outside but weak on the inside may also grow into a huge threat. This is "bringing back the soul" or "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao". As for using the trick he saw clearly again, he was not sure whether Chi Feichi was pretending to be weak, and he was hesitant about his next move. Maybe, that's an 'empty city strategy'...
What suffocated him the most was that Chi Feichi used the 'Serial Strategy' so well. Sometimes he felt that one link had been solved, but there were still killing moves following closely behind, one after another, one after another. One after another, he almost wanted to break down and curse, and he also had doubts about whether he had stepped into a trap.
Seeing the situation where the death energy eroded the whole situation and made it difficult to make moves reappeared, he was helpless. This was the reason why he felt that he was regarded as a 'master chess' by Chi Feichi. The death energy seemed to be there too. Invade his body, consume his intelligence, and try to turn him into a dead creature without intelligence.
As for whether Chi Feichi had treated himself as a pawn, he couldn't tell yet, including whether Chi Feichi had used all his strength now, and he couldn't judge either.
In the past, when he played chess with others, he could roughly judge his own level and the opponent's level after initial contact. But now, Chi Feichi seems to be still 'level? ? ? ', I can feel very strong, but I don't know how strong it is.
"Snapped……"
Chi Feichi made a move and said his first words since the chess game started, "Do you want to continue?"
Haneda Hideyoshi looked at the chess game and was stunned. He soon laughed helplessly and put a chess piece on the chessboard. "Although it is meaningless, I always like to play chess to the end, with a beginning and an end. I hope I can make this game a success." The game of chess is over.”
This was the first time that he could clearly see the back positions of Chi Feichi's chess pieces. However, after seeing the layout clearly, he faced the most powerless situation - there was no solution to this game, advancing would mean death, retreating would also lead to death, so he It's like being at a fork in the road. You can see that on the left is a dead end road full of sharp knives, thorns, and thunder and lightning. On the right is a dead end road where a poisonous snake has formed an encirclement and suppression lineup and will kill him as soon as he steps into it. The two roads are It was so clearly placed in front of him, and he was just a helpless child in front of this choice.
Looking for a third way? There was no chance anymore, the situation was settled, and the only thing he could decide was how he died.
There is really no need to continue this game, he has already lost, but he still wants to bring this game to an official end. Being able to choose how to die can be regarded as the final freedom.
…
After a while, the winner was decided.
"As expected of a Taige celebrity."
Chi Feichi won the victory. He did not say this with any sense of ridicule. He just thought of Haneda Hideyoshi's tenacity to constantly reflect and summarize himself when playing chess and learn lessons from his experience.
"But I still lost," Haneda Hideyoshi stood up generously and said with a smile, "If Master Chi also starts to participate in shogi competitions, I believe that after you adapt to the rules, shogi players will face a formidable enemy. The next time I participate in the championship finals, I’m afraid I’ll have a headache and won’t be able to sleep well.”
Chi Feichi paid attention to the current Japanese chess master in the crowd from the corner of his eyes. He had no intention of continuing to play chess. He drove his wheelchair away from the table and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. I want to take a rest. Please continue."
In Japan, people who have won the Go Grand Slam are given the title of 'Go Master'. The old man started watching the crowd from the middle of the game between him and Haneda Hideyoshi, looking eager to try.
He is not afraid of losing to the old man. He is not a professional chess player anyway. It is okay to lose to a professional chess player who has won a Grand Slam. What he is afraid of is that he wins.
There were many people present who could not understand the situation just now. Haneda Hideyoshi was a master of shogi and lost to him in Go. These people would not be surprised to see that Haneda Hideyoshi lost. After the news spread, the public would not take it seriously.
But if he beats the current chess master, he will soon cause a sensation, and then his innocence will be far away from him.
"Huh?" Haneda Hideyoshi was a little surprised.
Go tests a player's memory, layout thinking, calculation ability, coping and game-breaking abilities. In the game just now, he was pushed around by Chi Feichi. He almost exhausted all methods to break the game. He really felt that he needed to slow down, but Chi Feichi probably didn't expend too much energy.
Even if it was to save face for him, a famous person in Taige, there was no need to pretend that the fight just now was fierce. Anyway, he was good at shogi. If he lost a game of Go, no one would criticize him.
but……
Chi Feichi's wheelchair has its own "sickness aura".
A person with lumbar dislocation can only lie on a hard bed at night without moving. Over time, his back will hurt from lying down. In addition, he may suddenly experience a burst of back pain at night. The quality of his sleep will definitely not be much better, and he will also suffer from back pain during the day. It is impossible to have too much energy to toss.
When Haneda Hideyoshi thought of this, he quickly smiled in relief and said, "That's right. Playing chess seriously does consume a lot of energy. Let's go to the side to rest for a while and let them play slowly. By the way, can Master Chi play shogi..."
After the two left, the two young men looked at the Go table, sat down and started pecking each other.
The old chess master sighed softly. Although he could see that Chi Feichi had the upper hand just now and did not expend too much effort to win, but with the influence of the 'sickness aura' that comes with the wheelchair, he did not doubt that Chi Feichi deliberately avoided him. It is inevitable to feel regretful.
"Teacher?" Huashanyuan Qianying turned her head and looked at the chess master in confusion.
"I just feel a little pity that I couldn't play a game of chess with the eldest young master of the Chi family," the old chess master looked at Huashanyuan Qianying and said sternly, "You will not be his opponent. As for that Taige celebrity, His character when playing chess is also something you lack and need to develop through experience."
Huashanyuan Qianying nodded seriously, "I have benefited a lot from watching a game of chess between Master Chi and Mr. Taige. Next, I want to try to challenge some masters and try to sharpen Mr. Taige's calm temperament. "
The old chess master's eyes softened a little, "Miss Qianying has not participated in many games, and has experienced far fewer powerful opponents than Taige celebrities. I believe that after you have developed a strong mind, you will definitely be able to take a step further. In less than five years... "
Seeing the old chess master pause, Hanazanyuan Qianying understood in her heart. She smiled and looked at the two people standing on the Qingshui platform and the other in a wheelchair. "The teacher said before that as long as I persist, within five years, Japan will hopefully have a chess player." A female chess master who plays Grand Slam, but you don’t want to say that today?”
"Of course I want my disciple to become a female chess master," the old chess master also looked at the two people on the Qingshui stage, "but if Master Chi starts to intervene in the Go game, he will be the next chess master."
Huashanyuan Qianying's eyes were full of smiles, "I just felt that I was no match for him, but I wasn't sure how strong he was. Did the teacher see it?"
"He can fight me..." the old chess sage thought, "The outcome is unpredictable. His game with Taige Master did not force him into a difficult situation, so I can't judge his attainments in Go. How deep is it, so I feel like it’s a pity not to be able to play with him in the next game.”
"There will definitely be opportunities in the future." Huashanyuan Qianying said with a smile.
On the clear water platform, Haneda Hideyoshi walked with Chi Feichi to the guardrail and asked about his doubts, "Master Chi, can you see the vitality of the chess pieces... When Miss Qianying and I were playing chess, I could feel The chess pieces seem to have a connection. It is a kind of breath that is like life, but not as energetic as life. It is light and shallow, but it seems to be able to integrate all the chess pieces on one side. I always thought that it was the chess player. This is a situation that only occurs when one's realm reaches a certain level, but when you play chess, those chess pieces seem to be completely dead objects, like chess pieces in the hands of a novice, but they are also like chess pieces..."
"That's because in the eyes of Taige celebrities and us, although chess pieces are props for victory, they are also our partners." The old chess master smiled and walked forward, followed by Huashan Yuan Qianying, "The chess spirit is just an illusion. legend, but when we project the emotions of being friends and companions on the chess pieces, gradually they will also give us feedback, revealing a breath of unity and harmony, and we feel this breath when playing chess, and also It can help us stabilize our minds. If I must say it, every time I feel that breath, it will be like having a friend by my side to help me win. I will feel at ease and have the courage to fight no matter how strong the enemy is."
"Senior chess master, Miss Chisakura?" Haneda Hideyoshi turned his head in surprise and said hello. He quickly thought about it again and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I really like that kind of atmosphere on the chess game, it will make me I feel very comfortable, thanks to Senior Chess Saint’s reminder today.”
