Chapter 55: Kobayashi Mitsuichi? Take it down!(1/2)

At the same time, this China-Japan Go competition has also attracted widespread attention in China. On the one hand, it is thanks to official publicity and on the other hand, it is also due to Jiang Zhujiu's wonderful performance.

However, just when domestic audiences were full of expectations that the Chinese team could make a big splash and break the record and win the championship.

After Kobayashi's situation took a sharp turn for the worse, not only won five consecutive victories, but also swept directly in four games, which undoubtedly poured cold water on domestic audiences.

Domestic media have also calmed down, and the reports have also begun to popularize the gap between China and Japan Go, and have also reported many of Kobayashi Koichi's deeds.

"Kobayashi Koichi is worthy of being a top Japanese chess player, and his strength is terrifying."

"Yes, this guy is terriblely strong. He won the mid-set in four games and won eight eyes in one game. This strength is not of the same level at all."

"Is this the gap between Chinese and Japanese chess players? A top-notch chess player is not of the same magnitude as an ordinary nine-dan player."

"The key is that we only have two players left now. The main player Nie Weiping lost two consecutive games against Kobayashi Koichi."

April April Fool's Day.

Early in the morning, Zhuang Tunan ran to the school cafeteria to take up a seat, not to grab food, but to watch TV.

There is a TV in the cafeteria, and many students usually come to visit foreign language lectures, but today there are much more people than usual. In addition to Sunday, it is also because of a Go competition to be broadcast.

This China-Japan Go Arena Tournament was broadcast live by CCTV. It is said that it is live broadcast, which actually uses the signal from Tokyo TV. Even the subtitles are all in Japanese, so real-time translation can only be arranged, so the sound is always one or two shots slower than the picture.

However, even so, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of domestic people to watch the game.

"Zhuangtunan came quite early."

When Zhuang Tunan turned around, he found that several classmates had arrived.

"Isn't this Qin Hao's game today? Are you here too?"

"Yes, the teacher said that if you have time today, you can come and cheer for Qin Hao."

Not only Zhuang Tunan, the campus broadcast in Tongji started broadcasting half a month ago. Regardless of winning or losing, being a student in Tongji has already added luster to the school. In addition, Kobayashi Koichi's sudden outbreak and ups and downs have also touched the hearts of countless Tongji students.

"Oh, stop talking, it's about to start."

A classmate's words made the atmosphere in the cafeteria tense.

Zhuang Tunan subconsciously glanced around and happened to see Li Jia coming hurriedly.

"Sorry, let me give it up." Li Jia tried her best to squeeze in front of the TV, but because she came a little late, the TV was already full of people, so she could only stand on tiptoe and watch.

Suzhou, the alleys of cotton spinning factories and the courtyard are also crowded.

Song Ying enthusiastically took out all kinds of snacks for the children to eat, while Huang Ling helped pour tea.

Zhang Amei asked while kowtowing melon seeds: "Song Ying, is Haozi taking a plane or a train this time going abroad?"

Wang Yong's wife next door curled her lips and said, "Can the train arrive in Japan? You have to build the railway tracks in the sea, you must take a plane."

"Of course I know, this is just a casual statement..."

Seeing that Zhang Amei and Wang Yong's wife were about to start arguing, Wu Jianguo suddenly shouted: "Haozi is out, the game is about to begin."

When Song Ying heard this, she quickly sat in front of the TV. The other people's attention was also attracted. Zhang Amei and Wang Yong's wife snorted coldly when they saw this, and turned their faces away from each other.

"Wow, Brother Hao is so handsome today." Lin Dongzhe pointed to Qin Hao, who was slowly walking towards the ring in an exaggerated tone.

Song Ying nodded deeply: "Haozi is so energetic in this small suit, but Sister Ling has to be skillful."

Huang Ling covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's Haozi's body. I have made a set of such a suit for Tunan, but he doesn't have such an effect when he wears it."

Since the Chinese New Year, Zhuang Chaoying has never returned home. Naturally, she will never go to the banker's door again. That is, when Xiang Pengfei occasionally met Zhuang Chaoying at school, he asked him for living expenses for his two children. Huang Ling also figured it out. Anyway, if she doesn't ask Zhuang Chaoying for living expenses, she will definitely be taken over by Zhuang Chaoying in the end. Regardless of whether she divorces Zhuang Chaoying or not, Zhuang Chaoying, as the father of two children, Zhuang Chaoying has the responsibility to raise the child, and it will be useless to not take the support.

Zhuang Xiaoting nodded in agreement. Although Zhuang Tunan is his biological brother, it is indeed the case.

Xiang Pengfei suddenly said weakly: "Do you think Brother Hao can go to that Xiaolin?"

This sentence instantly changed the atmosphere of the entire courtyard. Zhuang Xiaoting subconsciously pulled Xiang Pengfei's sleeve and told him not to talk nonsense.

Lin Dongzhe was very confident in Qin Hao: "Brother Hao will definitely win. He has never lost after playing chess for so long."

"Yes, Haozi will definitely win against that little Japan and win glory for the country."

"Song Ying, don't worry, so many of us are here to cheer Haozi, he will definitely win."

"Shh, stop arguing, it's already started."

...

Tokyo, Japan, Chess Academy ring.

Qin Hao and Kobayashi Guangichi had already sat on both ends of the board.

Kobayashi Koichi was just in his early thirties and was at the peak of his chess power. He was at the peak of both computing power and experience. Japanese media once commented that he was one of the six top chess players.

Before the game started, Kobayashi Koichi suddenly smiled and said to Qin Hao: "I heard that you have never lost in China?"

"It's not just in China, but everywhere." Qin Hao replied casually in Japanese.

Kobayashi was stunned at first, then showed a playful smile: "I hope your chess power is as good as your Japanese pronunciation."

"I hope you can still laugh after the game."

"Interesting. I haven't met such an interesting opponent as you for a long time, so let's wait and see!"

After saying that, Kobayashi directly reached out and grabbed a chess piece in the chess box, put it on the chessboard. The guessing of the game between the ring is usually the winner, and the new ones who are on the ring are guessing.

"Single." Qin Hao picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard. After the crisp sound, Kobayashi Guangyi spread his palm.

"It's two, you're not very lucky." Kobayashi said with a smile.

Outside the ring, everyone in the Japanese team had a relaxed smile on their faces. Kobayashi's outstanding performance was their confidence. Moreover, there were only two chess players, Qin Hao and Nie Weiping, who were left on the Chinese side. Even if Kobayashi was defeated on the Japanese side, they still had four chess players, Satoshi Katao, Akira Ishida, Masao Kato and Hideyuki Fujisawa.

In the eyes of the Japanese team, no matter how powerful Qin Hao is, he can't be able to play five in a row, not to mention that they have two top chess players, Masao Kato and Hideyuki Fujisawa.

Compared with the Japanese team's calm atmosphere, the atmosphere on the Chinese team is much more solemn.

Chen Zude said worriedly: "This is trouble. I'm going to let Kobayashi take the lead. His attack is too fierce. I don't know if Xiao Qin can withstand it."

If it were the past, Jiang Zhujiu and the others would definitely think that Qin Hao would definitely win, but since he was fought by Kobayashi, everyone could feel the crushing gap. It was a suffocating sense of oppression. They felt this sense of oppression when they were with Qin Hao.

So in Jiang Zhujiu and others' hearts, they were always worried about Qin Hao.

At the same time, the showdown between Qin Hao and Kobayashi Kwangichi on the ring has also begun.

At the beginning, Kobayashi Hiroyi landed at the small target position in the upper right corner, and Qin Hao followed closely the dot 33 position in the upper right corner.

Kobayashi Kwangichi was not concerned about Qin Hao's backhand, because in the game where he defeated Jiang Zhujiu before, the other party also started to hit Sansan.

Kobayashi Guangyi was not in a hurry to get involved with Qin Hao, but continued to make arrangements. Black 3 and 5 were hung on the lower right and lower left corners respectively, while Qin Hao pressed step by step. From the beginning, he was close to Kobayashi Guangyi's black chess, and fought fiercely on the three corners.

At first, Kobayashi's expression on his face was very relaxed, and there was always a calm smile on the corner of his mouth. This scene made countless Japanese viewers smile brightly through live TV, while the Chinese viewers were worried.

However, after entering the middle plate, Kobayashi's face in the TV camera was not so relaxed. His originally stretched brows frowned from time to time, and they were often stuck in thoughts for more than two minutes.

On the other hand, Qin Hao always had a calm expression from beginning to end, and his moves were one after another, almost without thinking. As long as Kobayashi's black spell fell to the ground, his white spell would follow him.

Moreover, everyone in the Japanese team was surprised to find that from the tenth move of the game, Kobayashi Koichi and Qin Hao had been fighting on the right side of the board, with only a few scattered pieces hanging in the corner on the left.

Hideyuki Fujisawa noticed something was wrong: "This kid from the Chinese team put a lot of pressure on Kobayashi. This is the first time I saw him in a tough battle at the beginning."

Kobayashi Koichi's start was very sharp, which was also his reliance on winning the chess holy war and celebrity war championships several times. However, after careful observation of Hideyuki Fujisawa found that judging from the current situation between the two sides, Kobayashi Koichi's black chess was not at all cheap.

The key is whether Kobayashi Mitsuichi or Black will be the first. According to the rules of international Go competitions, black chess must be posted with five and a half eyes, which means that Kobayashi Mitsuichi was actually at a disadvantage at this time.

“This is impossible.”

This was Fujisawa Hideyuki's first reaction, but as the game progressed, he was surprised to find that Kobayashi Koichi not only did not recover his disadvantages as the official stage, but his black chess unknowingly fell into a disadvantage.

"Why would Kobayashi Jun lose, right?"

This thought had begun to spread among the Japanese team without realizing it, and everyone had an incredible expression. They had never thought of this situation before the game.

"Could this Chinese kid say those words before the game are not bragging?"

Fujisawa Hideyuki said to Masao Kato beside him with a serious expression: "Have you found a problem?"

"What's the question?" Kato Masao asked blankly.

Hideyuki Fujisawa looked at Jiang Zuijiu in the Chinese team: "They're very similar in chess."

Masao Kato followed Hideyuki Fujisawa's gaze and still had some impression of Ezuku. After all, the other party also passed three levels in a row and killed three of their high-level chess players. Masao Kato studied Ezuku's chess.

"It's a bit similar, but the chess skills are very different."

Hideyuki Fujisawa nodded: "Is it possible that they are from the same school, just like you and Kobayashi?"

Masao Kato thought for a while: "It's possible."

"No, Kobayashi Jun is in danger."

Just as the two were talking, the chess game between Qin Hao and Kobayashi Koichi had already entered the official stage. As soon as they entered the official stage, Kobayashi Koichi felt that the pressure was increasing. Qin Hao's attack was too fierce. One wave after another, he could not find a chance to breathe. He could only run around and remedy his chess shape so that the dragon could be cut off in half.

What made Kobayashi feel even more terrifying was that Qin Hao didn’t seem to have to think about every step he took. The move was always completed within ten seconds. How huge computing power is required?

Kobayashi Mitsuichi felt it was hopeless to think about it. In Japan, he was also a top chess player who was famous for his computing power, but he asked himself that no matter how strong the computing power was, he would not be able to achieve this level.

"Is there a computer in his mind?"

Kobayashi Hiroshi fell a dark spot in a trance. When he reacted, his face suddenly changed.

The Japanese team also had a mess after seeing Kobayashi Koichi's move.
