Chess Soul's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 331 The Battle of Honinbo’s Challenge 1
Ogata went to the second floor and saw the bulletin board that read: In the seventh round of the Honinbo Tournament, Shinto Mitsu [-]nd Dan vs. Morishita [-]th Dan.

"If Shinto Hikaru wins this competition, then this year's Honinbo challenge will be hers." Ogata thought to himself: "Before such a crucial competition, she still has the mind to make out with my little brother Taya Ryo.

I really don't know, should I say that you are full of confidence, or have you given up the game? "

Ogata remembered that before, he had won the right to challenge, but Kuwamoto Inbo used psychological warfare to win a crucial round.As a result, I missed the title of Honinbo. This year, I didn't even sign up for the Honinbo battle, but instead applied for the [-]th dan, chess master and celebrity competition.

"Even if you get the right to challenge, there is that old guy Kuwahara staying there, and you want to grab the title of Honinbo from him. That's even more difficult..."

At this time, Shindo Hikaru had already sat in the game room of the chess academy, and sat opposite his former teacher.

Among the many title battles Mr. Morishita has fought for, this should be the closest one.In the battle of Honinbo, now I have the most, and the rest are Mr. Morishita and Mr. Serizawa.

After winning this round, Shindo Hikaru will directly get the right to challenge.If Shigeo Morishita wins this round, then he will have another round against Serizawa Kudan, and whoever wins will have the right to challenge.

Therefore, this round is very important to Morishita Shigeo.

This person, who was his teacher in the previous life, had unreservedly taught all his experiences to himself and He Gu.

Facing this person, Hikari Shindo expressed his gratitude and respect.However, it is very difficult for Morishita-sensei to win the game here today, whether it is himself or Sakai, even Hikari Shindo in this life.

Thinking of this, Shinto Hikaru felt a deep sense of apology and sadness.

Zuo Wei beside him seemed to sense her thoughts, and said with some hesitation: "Xiao Guang, why don't you play this round."

Shinto Hikaru shook his head with a smile, and said: "I've said it all, you will play all the games during this period. What's more, this is the Honinbo battle, and it is more meaningful for you to play the game."

At this time, the timekeeper of the game announced the start, and both of them saluted each other.

The result of the guess is that Shigeo Morishita holds the black and goes first.

"It seems that Morishita is very confident."

At the same time, Ogata Seiji also sat in his seat and started his own ten-dan round-robin match.If he wins this round, he will face Hikari Shinto next week.

That opponent, however, has always been strong.And Xiao Liang, who was with her, was called a genius since she was a child, but when the two were compared, everyone could see who was the real genius.

In fact, Taya Ryo also admitted that between him and Hikari Shinto, he is not the one with talent.

But, so what, just like what my father said, as long as you stay on the chessboard, one day you will be able to...

Today is the fifth game of the chess jihad round-robin competition. If you win this game, you will be able to play against your father next week.

Taya knew clearly that it should be the first and last time his father met him in an official game.

Definitely, must win today's game.

At the same time, three key chess games are going on at the same time...

For this crucial game, Shigeo Morishita looked for almost all the game records related to Hikari Shinto that he could collect.

I also heard from his disciples Shirakawa [-]th dan and Hegu [-]nd dan that this guy is very powerful.After careful study, he had to admit that Hikari Shinto was indeed a rare talented chess player he had ever seen.

Therefore, he didn't have the slightest thought of belittling Shindo Hikaru.

Therefore, from the start so far, they have played very cautiously, but there have been no mistakes.

There was interest in Zoe's eyes.

No matter when he plays chess or with whom he plays chess, Zuo Wei will be very serious.However, Zuo Wei only showed that expression when he met a master and made Zuo Wei feel challenged.

Shinto Hikari felt that this could be regarded as Zuowei's high evaluation of Morishita's opponent.

Looking at the chessboard, Sato commanded Shinto Hikaru, "Xiaoguang, eight out of ten, hang high."

Zoe what is this going to do?That location doesn't seem very good.

However, Shinto Hikaru made a stone at the corresponding position, and a single black stone appeared between two white stones, which was a suicide act.In Go, this kind of stone will be regarded as a useless stone.

Morishita Shigeo paused for a moment, the opponent's move was obviously beyond his expectation.

However, out of caution, he didn't take this piece away. Instead, he chose to make a move behind the piece just now, and chose to avoid its edge.

"Teacher, Shinto is the best at digging traps for the opponent. Usually, it is a bad move, which makes the opponent think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. When he comes to chase and intercept, Shinto Hikari will follow..."

As a friend of Hikari Shinto, Kazuya explained clearly how Hikari Shinto played chess.

Therefore, regarding this sudden loss, Morishita subconsciously thought it was the other party's suspicion.

Shindo Hikari already knew at this time that Mr. Morishita had lost this round.He failed because he knew too much about Shindo Hikari, but he didn't understand "Shindo Hikaru".

Every chess player has his own fixed style of chess, but for Hikari Shindo, she can have several styles of chess.

Because there is more than one soul in her body.And the souls in her body, every soul can imitate others to play chess.Therefore, Shinto Hikuna is not fighting alone, it is a team, and everyone in the team is a top player individually.

Obviously, Shigeo Morishita also discovered that today's Hikari Shinto is different from the previous ones.

What should I say, Shigeo Morishita frowned. In the situation just now, it is obvious that a better chess move can be made. Is this Shinto Hikari...

He raised his eyes and glanced at today's Hikari Shindo, whose expression did not fluctuate at all.It didn't show that the one shot just now didn't end well, and I felt remorse.

Could it be that this kid, what's the mystery?
Morishita Shigeo was as cautious as Taya Yukihiro, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and he was thinking about Shinto Hikaru's possible back move in his mind.

Judging from his aura, Shigeo Morishita was thinking seriously at this time, and he looked very dignified.On the other hand, Shindo Hikari seemed very comfortable, as if this round did not determine the ownership of Honinbo's challenge, but was just a usual discussion.

After another dozens of hands, the two players in the game room had already entered the middle game, and began to compete on the ground.

Reporter Amano came in and took a look at the game between the two.

Shigeo Morishita's response was measured and methodical.On the other hand, Shindo Hikaru is a bit strange.

The momentum of the white pieces is very good, but compared with the usual chess, it seems to be a little different.However, Reporter Amano couldn't tell...

"Torajiro, this time Honinbo..."
