My girlfriend is a lady

Rem listened quietly while brushing her hair. When she heard that Hanzawa Naoki had defeated her sister in blind chess, she was even more surprised!

Playing blind chess not only tests the player's memory, but also his endurance and concentration.

In the Go circle, only those gifted ones who are not born into the world have this kind of talent.

Hanzawa Naoki has become so powerful! ?

You must be kidding. Is my sister just exaggerating or is she really that scary?

Ram added with a sigh, "And he said his teacher is Chinese. I spoke to him in Chinese. He spoke more fluently than me, Rem. Do you know that it takes at least several years to learn Chinese pronunciation?"

Ram made an eight gesture with his hand, and the surprise on his face became even greater.

"I feel like I have accidentally discovered a monster. Maybe we have misjudged Naoki before. ..."

Rem raised her hand to stop her sister from continuing to speak. She understood what her sister meant, but it was unrealistic for her to agree with her immediately!

Two years ago, the girl had a new understanding of the world she lived in.

Two years ago, I was amazed at the extraordinary beauty of this world. Two years later, as I grew up, I was amazed at its increasing ugliness.

She had to try it herself to see if what her sister said was true.

"I don't know if I'm wrong or not, I just know the truth will be revealed in the next game. I'm going to play a game with him right now. I have his contact information, I'm going to make an appointment right now."

"!!!"

………………

………………

In an apartment not far from where the Rem sisters lived.

A pair of girls were also working on an endgame at the same time.

If Hanzawa Naoki saw the chess the two girls were studying at this moment, he might be shocked.

Because the game the two women played was neither Go nor Shogi, but Chinese chess!

As for why girls are playing chess, it all started with a revolution in 1999.

Because Akimoto Saito has promoted many pro-China policies in the past decade, this great politician has come up with many tricks to entertain the people!

The most eye-catching of these is the professionalization of shogi and xiangqi between the two countries.

Driven by Yidu Group, Japanese shogi professional players and Chinese chess professional players need to learn each other's chess methods and rules in the current era. Only those who are proficient in both chess methods are eligible to obtain generous bonuses in the World Shogi and Xiangqi Championships.

Since the two types of chess have Chinese character culture in common, the fusion of the two types of chess was protested by some Japanese and Chinese diehards in the early stages.

However, with the support of huge cash flow and the strong promotion of Japan, the chess competition became popular in Asia in a short period of time.

After ten years of promotion, nearly ten million Chinese have learned to play Japanese shogi, and nearly five million Japanese have learned to play Chinese chess.

The scale of this league is no longer limited to China and Japan.

As the relevant professional leagues are becoming larger and larger, the influence of the two chess games in the entire Asian circle is also growing.

First, South Korea and Vietnam joined. Since South Korea and Vietnam both have a castrated version of Chinese chess (without the Chu River and Han River), for the sake of money and bonuses, in early 2000, a large number of South Korean and Vietnamese professional chess players joined the Sino-Japanese Shogi Alliance and sent professional players to participate in the competition.

Later, professional players from India and Thailand joined in. Although these two countries do not have chess, they have Chaturanga and Thai chess, which are very similar to shogi.

Because of the similar rules to shogi, professional chess players from Thailand and India also began to want to get their hands on the prize money of this competition.

It seems that being able to play two types of chess at the same time will give you a chance to win high prize money.

More and more national chess players are starting to take the initiative to learn chess and shogi!

After ten years of development, shogi has become the world's largest chess game.

Seeing so many people learn shogi, the old stubborn people in Japan no longer complain. Every day they prepare for the annual International Shogi Championship and work hard to defend the king status of shogi in Japan.

Chapter 37: The shocks in life always come unexpectedly

Chapter 37 37. The shocks in life always come unexpectedly

When it comes to the status of shogi in the world, Japan deserves to be called the king!

Although the system of shogi and xiangqi is that each player takes turns to play shogi and xiangqi, the deciding game is decided by drawing lots.

However, due to the rules of the middle elephant, it is too easy to end in a draw when the two sides are evenly matched. Therefore, if a player in shogi intends to draw with his opponent, the player who is better at shogi will have a clear advantage!

Over the past ten years, in the largest Edo Cup World Shogi Championship, Japanese players always occupy four seats in the quarterfinals; Japan also has the most world champions in the Shogi Cup!

Of course, a king cannot be immortal.

As China and South Korea have become more and more familiar with shogi in recent years, Japan's advantage in the field of shogi has become smaller and smaller.

Other countries are catching up rapidly in the scale and professionalization of [Shogi], especially in youth training. The youth training systems of China and South Korea refer to the successful model of Go!

Of the seven major world championships last year, four champions were no longer Japanese.

The number of recognized chess cups has increased from one in 199 to seven, namely Japan's "Edo" Cup; China's "Tengda" Cup; South Korea's "Samsung" Cup; India's "Mumbai" Cup; Thailand's "LDK" Cup; China's "Yun Yi" Cup; and Japan's "Sakhalin" Cup.

If a professional chess player wins one of the trophies, he or she will receive a prize of 2 million yen.

The current chess champion Yoshiharu Hanyu is also recognized worldwide as a money-making machine.

In five years, he won 12 world championships in a row. He was still at the peak of his career and earned nearly billion in revenue. His influence is evident!

There are also women's competitions in these World Cups! Although the prize money is not half of that of men, the basic income is still quite good!

As a female chess player of the Japan Prize Association, Tokisaki Kurumi did not pay much attention to the Shogi Cup. It was not until the year before last that the Japanese Professional Shogi Federation was restructured and recognized the rankings of Shogi players in the Shogi League. Only then did the girl realize what a mistake she had made by not studying chess when she was a child!

Under the newly enacted system, as long as a player makes it into the top eight of the world championship, the league will unconditionally issue a professional shogi 4th dan certificate to the player, regardless of gender.

This means that as long as Kurumi ranks above the top eight in the shogi tournament, she can go on a date with her beloved Naoki.

There was no other way, so Kuang San forced herself to learn Chinese characters and learn Chinese chess.

Her best chess practice partner is her younger sister, Yatogami Tohka.

This girl was adopted from an orphanage in Kansai by her stepmother Akimoto Saika in 2000 in order to prevent Kurumi from being too lonely. She was adopted a year later than Tokisaki.

The name was changed to be a bit two-dimensional like Kurumi, which is different from Kurumi.

Not only is Yatogami Tohka's name two-dimensional, her life creed is also quite two-dimensional.

Tohka once said a famous saying: People live to eat and play chess.

Unlike Tokisaki who is only good at shogi, Tohka is proficient in all areas of chess.

I am good at playing Go, chess and shogi.

They have basically reached professional standards, and for this reason the Japanese public is very fond of Tohka, who has knee-length black hair and crystal-like eyes of incredible color.

Some time ago, the girl gained a large number of Chinese fans when she participated in the Chinese competition!

To be honest, Kurumi was jealous of Tohka's talent, but only a little.

Because apart from playing chess and eating, this little girl is as dumb and cute as a primary school student. Her grades are terrible!

Whenever she thought of Tohka's natural look of happily eating fried chicken after winning the game, Kuang San couldn't help thinking: "God, you are really fair. People are really not perfect."

After dinner every day, Tohka and Kurumi practice chess as usual.

The two would stand and play chess against each other to digest the food in their stomachs.

Today is chess endgame analysis!

The current chess situation is roughly like this.

The black side has two horses and four pawns. The two horses are helping with defense in the back, and the four pawns have formed a killing momentum in the front, and the red side cannot hold on.

The Red side has one chariot, horse, cannon, and one soldier.

Just as Tohka was thinking of a countermeasure, the electronic door outside the apartment was opened.

At the same time, the mobile phone in the girl's left trouser pocket made a notification sound, indicating an incoming WeChat message.

The sound of the door opening and the sound of a WeChat message appeared at the same time, causing a hint of displeasure to cross Tohka's face.

Tohka impatiently took out her phone and started reading messages, while complaining, "Sister, go open the door, I'll reply. I hate WeChat so much now, but I can't help but reply!"

Kurumi patted her sister's head and went out to greet Huibara who was coming home.

Unlike her, Tohka, as a famous genius chess player, always has a lot of social engagements.

"I am back."

The electronic door opened, and Huiyuan, wearing a windbreaker and holding a bag of food, smiled at the girl who greeted him.

"Have you eaten yet, Tokisaki?"

"I've eaten, sis. I'm practicing chess with Tohka now!"

"Would you like to eat something? My sister bought roast goose. It tastes really good."

"Roast goose, where? Where? Roast goose, Shixiang likes roast goose the most."

Before Kuang San could reply, the girl in the living room who was still complaining about replying to WeChat suddenly appeared next to Haibara like a ghost. She looked at Haibara Ai with her eyes shining and drooling.

Kuang San pinched her brows, and her previous sympathy disappeared - the two of them had just finished dinner half an hour ago, and the other party ate three times as much as she did, and now she wanted to eat more. Is this sister's digestive system a bottomless pit?

"No eating. As long as I'm here, you are not allowed to eat after seven o'clock. Do you want to turn into a pig?" Kuang San said seriously.

"I...sister...sister, please give me some more food. I only ate three bowls of rice tonight. I'm still hungry."

Tohka took the initiative to hold Haibara's hand and acted coquettishly.

A few black lines popped up on Huiyuan Ai's forehead. It would be fine if she didn't mention it. The more she mentioned it, the angrier she got! Three bowls of rice are not enough, is he a pig! ?

But why is it that every time the child acts like a spoiled brat, she can't help but feel soft-hearted?

Huiyuan looked at Tohka lovingly and suggested, "How about Kurumi let her eat a little? She won't gain weight anyway because of her constitution."

"elder sister!"

"Oh yeah, sister, you are the best, you are the best sister." Tohka kissed Haibara Ai hard on the cheek. Without waiting for Tokisaki's consent, she took the bag of cooked food from Haibara's hand and rushed to the kitchen.

"Sister, you are harming her by doing this!" Kuang San raised her leg and wanted to rush to the kitchen to stop the foodie from eating.

Although my cheap sister has a physique that allows her to never gain weight no matter how much she eats, she is not an alien. What if she gets sick from eating too much?

"Just let her eat. I just happen to have something to talk to you about alone." Huiyuan Ai raised her hand to stop Kurumi and changed the subject, "I want to talk to you about Naoki."

"Naoki, what's wrong with Naoki?"

The girl stopped immediately when she heard the name "Naoki".

"Kenichi called me just now and passed on Naoki's game design concept to me, asking me to plan it right away. Also..."

It took nearly a minute for Haibara Ai to convey to Tokisaki Kurumi what she had learned from Hanzawa Kenichi.

Finally, she concluded: "Kenichi told me that he will ask Naoki to come to the company in the near future to personally explain this game plan, and asked me to tell you to go to his house more often when you are free and help him take care of Naoki. He is very worried about Naoki's mental state now. When the time is right, you can move to their house. Third, this is a good opportunity, you must grasp the degree, understand? Don't be too active, otherwise it will scare Hanzawa!"

"..."

Tokisaki Kurumi nodded heavily, tears welling up in her eyes as she promised!

After so many years, she finally made it.

In the past, Hanzawa and his son were very close to her, but now that the father has relented, how far is the son? Especially Naoki, she really needs to find an opportunity to ask him why he contacted her on WeChat last Thursday and turned his face away on Saturday!

There is no real desperate situation in this world, there is only desperate thinking.

As long as she has firm faith and perseveres, the barren land will become a vibrant oasis.

"Sister...what happened to Naoki and why?"

After strengthening her belief, Kurumi suddenly became curious about why her father asked her to care so much about Naoki.

"Sister... I have something to ask you... Do you have Naoki brother's new WeChat contact information?"

Just as Kuang San was about to ask about Hanzawa Kenichi's specific requirements for her, Tohka, who was eating goose legs, suddenly interrupted from a distance and said, "I found that my brother doesn't use his old WeChat anymore. Sister, please help me make an appointment with him. I want to play a game of Go with him and compare our moves."

Hearing this, Tokisaki and Haibara were stunned! They looked at Yatogami Tohka in disbelief, wondering why the latter wanted to play chess with Hanzawa.

Tohka's Go skills are at least at the professional level. Why does she play against Hanzawa?!

What picture?

Do you think there is too much time or do you just want to bully the weak ones for fun?

Seeing the two girls' confusion, Yatogami Tohka took out her phone and explained, "Today I found out that Hanzawa-nii is not bad. It's like this... Many people in the Yingde College campus group were talking about the result of today's Xiuying Go exchange tournament. Many people said that Hanzawa-nii turned the tide and saved the dignity of Xiuzhiyuan... He defeated Ram, who defeated me, twice in a row. Sister, someone in the school just now @ me and asked me to choose a venue."

"!!!!!!"
