Chess Soul's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 251 The Honinbo Tournament
After the celebration of the Hokuto Cup, Shindo Hikaru also boarded the plane to Tokyo.

"Time flies so fast, three days have passed in a blink of an eye. I haven't had a good time shopping, and I only ate ramen at one shop, so it's time to go back to Japan.

Alas, I'm really not reconciled. "

Ta Yaliang, who was sitting next to her, rolled his eyes and asked back: "Then why don't you just stay there and don't come back."

"I didn't say that."

"That's what you meant."

"No."

"There is."

……

Ogata Seiji looked worriedly at the two who were starting to quarrel with elementary school students again, and called the stewardess, "Please shut up the two brats over there."

The stewardess went over very cooperatively, and gracefully shut up the two who were arguing...

The two who saw them off at the airport were actually Hong Xiuying and Gao Yongxia. They stared at the plane, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Xiuying, Hikari Shindo is the opponent you have always wanted to promise."

"En." Hong Xiuying's eyes darkened. She had been working hard to shorten the gap before, but she never expected that after this meeting, the other party would be so powerful.

"Work hard, this opponent is worth defeating."

"I know."

After the quarrel ended, Shinto Hikari fell asleep, and when he woke up, Taya Ryo had already ordered her a meal on the plane.

Shinto Hikaru accepted this silent consideration, and said while eating: "Taya, I think the young Chinese and Korean chess players are very good!"

"Yes, they are all opponents that should not be underestimated."

Ta Yaliang thought of the two previous opponents, Wang Shizhen and Lin Rihuan, they were not easily defeated.

Even if they play the game again right now, Taya Ryo can't guarantee that he will win them.

"Actually, the quality of our young chess players is also good. In my college student class, Ikaku, Watani, Ah Fu, Ochi, and by the way, Honda are all very difficult players to deal with.

It's just that their competitiveness is still not enough. "

"Why do you say that?"

"They all lack opportunities to hone their chess skills."

Ta Yaliang said: "Don't they also often participate in matches?"

"That's different. I remember Hegu said that if you want to improve your chess skills, you need to play chess as much as possible with masters, so that you can improve quickly."

"Oh."

"If you think about the club, his talent is not bad. In the Kansai Chess Academy, he can be regarded as a seedling.

However, the experience is not enough.Therefore, his current chess strength is like this. "

When Shinto Hikari said this, he looked at Toya Ryo, and said, "I only now understand why Kazuya always looks so displeased with you."

"why?"

"Because you are so lucky, there are always masters playing against you, and he is jealous of you."

"Me too..." Ta Yaliang lowered his head, as if he would live under the shadow of his father for the rest of his life.

In his heart, his attitude towards his father was very complicated.The existence of his father gave Taya Ryo great happiness and misfortune.

Happiness is that his father provided him with a rich material life and a good learning atmosphere. Unfortunately, under the light of his father, he was rejected and envied by his peers.

No matter how hard he puts in, others will think that this is the right result.This made many people unable to see his hard work, but only saw his father behind him, the dazzling celebrity Taya.

The latter must have made Taya somewhat unwilling and disappointed, but the atmosphere of isolation from his peers he had gradually cultivated gradually made him used to it.

Entering the world of professional shogi players, Taya once again felt pressured by his father's light.

People will say behind him, this is really the son of a celebrity.

He is not a person who is good at expressing his inner thoughts, but when he beats the seventh and eighth dan players again and again, he finally gets the recognition of himself from these chess players.

He can't forget that scene:

At the end of Honinbo's second challenge, the clerk said, "You really deserve to be the son of Master Toya."

Taya Ryo's opponent said: "You are insulting Taya-kun. You shouldn't be worthy of being the son of Taya Celebrity, you should be worthy of being Taya Ryo, and it has nothing to do with Taya Celebrity and others."

Then, he said to Taya Ryo: "Congratulations, Taya-kun, congratulations on entering the Honinbo Round Robin..."

"Do you remember Kaga Tetsuo?"

Ta Ya nodded and said, "Remember,"

"At that time, he said, how unfortunate I am to be in the same age as you. But how lucky I am to be in the same age as you."

"how to say?"

"How unfortunate, it means that being in the same era as you will definitely not be easy, because you work too hard, and if you are not careful, you can overtake it, or even be thrown far away.

How fortunate, it is precisely because of such an opponent that he will always work hard to stimulate his greatest potential. "

Shinto Hikaru said with a smile: "Taya, I'm very glad to have met you."

If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know where I would be reading comics now.

Without a clear goal every day, I just live like this.After that, will I regret it?

"..." Taya Ryo didn't know how to answer, having never heard such emotional words.

He brewed for a while, and when he was about to say some words of thanks, there was even the sound of breathing beside him.

Fool, it is my luck to meet you.

After sleeping, Shindo Hikaru felt full of blood and revived, and pulled Taya Ryo to ask about the Honinbo title competition.

"Is Honinbo a surname?"

Taya nodded, and said: "It is the largest and most influential Go family in Japan, and the head of the Four Go masters in the Edo period.

The other three are: Inoue, Yasui, and Hayashi.But in terms of Go strength and other aspects, these three are far inferior to the contemporary Honinbo family. "

Shinto Hikaru nodded and said: "That is to say, it must be from their family, and only those who are good at chess can be called Honinbo.

This is really a good legacy, so who founded this family in the first place? "

"Honinbo was originally a place name, and it was the place where the monk Hikai lived. Because he played chess with General Tokugawa Ieyasu, he was favored by the general, so he was given the surname of Honinbo.

This title was originally passed down by the Honinbo family through the family system, until the No.20 I Honinbo Hideya believed that the name of Honinbo already represented the strongest chess player in Japan and should be determined by strength, so he gave this title to Japan after his retirement Since then, the Honinbo Battle has become one of the seven major Go tournaments in Japan. "

Shinto Hikari looked at Ryo Taya with bright eyes, and said, "Taya, you really know a lot."

"Is this the only title you're interested in?"

Shindo Mitsu said: "It should be said that I am most interested in this. How can I participate in the title match? I heard that you have already entered the round-robin match. You should know the process better."
