Chapter 394 Cancellation and Reasons
After the game, Heike Otake did not go home, but headed straight to Zhao Zhixun's home.
As soon as he knocked on the door and saw Mrs. Kyoko, he immediately asked:
"Is Jixun at home?"
Zhao Jingzi first said hello, then said:
"In the chess room on the second floor, I'll go and call him down right away..."
"No need," said Heihei Otake, while changing his shoes, "I'll go upstairs to find him."
He has been here many times, of course he is clear about the layout and rushed directly to the chess room upstairs.
Sure enough, when he entered the door, Zhao Zhixun was sitting in front of the chessboard, and the above was the game between him and Chihara Hiroshi today.
"Senior Brother Dazhu, why are you here?" Hearing the movement, he raised his head and looked a little confused.
Hei Yuuo Otake sat directly opposite him and said:
"After playing this game today, I want to discuss some content with you."
At present, among Japan's top chess players, Zhao Zhixun is recognized as the one who knows the best of "Qianyuanliu".
Therefore, after the game, he came to Zhao Zhixun directly.
The latter also understood the purpose of the other party looking for him and nodded:
"I understand, just so happens that I also have some ideas to ask my senior brother..."
As he said that, he pointed to a place on the chessboard and pushed away the chess piece next to him...
Then, the two of them started from the first move and slowly reviewed the situation at that time.
Zhao Zhixun couldn't help but remember that when he had just arrived at the Mugu Temple more than 30 years ago, because his master Mugu was busy with his affairs, he often taught by the older Dazhu hero.
At that time, every time the big hand was combined, the other party would help him review and summarize the gains and losses for him.
Now, both of them are already middle-aged, and they can't help but sigh, but they are immediately attracted by the chess game.
...
The next day, another day of rest.
However, before he was about to go out, he received a call from the chess academy.
On the other end of the phone is Secretary Baizhi.
"What, the game was cancelled?" Chihara Hiroshi was a little surprised.
What he mentioned refers to the protracted chess game with Hero Otake.
It turned out that Secretary Shiratsuki said just now that Heike Otake called this morning, but he did not tell his next move, but canceled the game.
Is it related to yesterday's celebrity battle?... He immediately linked these two things together.
"I don't know the specific situation either. I just received a temporary notice in the morning. If you have any doubts, I can go and ask." Secretary Bai Zhi took the initiative to propose on the other end of the phone.
Hiroshi Chihara said:
"No need, since it's cancelled, then forget it."
He always regarded this game as a pastime in his heart. After all, the rules are not normal rules, so he had no special thoughts after canceling them.
"I see……"
“…”
Chihara Hiroshi just hung up the phone, and before he could take two steps, the ringtone rang again.
"Hello, this is Hiroshi Chihara." He picked up the microphone and asked, "What's the point?"
What surprised him was that the sound of the sound turned out to be Hero Otake.
The other party's tone was apologetic:
"Kun Chihara, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"It's okay, that game also inspired me." Chihara Hiroshi said politely.
And Hero Otake was obviously a little confused and said:
"I originally said that I was admitting defeat, but the chess academy probably wanted to keep my face for me, so I said it was canceling the chess game. If you care, I can make a statement alone."
Hiroshi Chihara naturally refused and even said "No," but he still thought a little. However, the point of mind was not to change his words from outside, but the other end of the chess institute did not tell him the reason inside, at least he should tell him in form.
Hero Otake sighed heavily, and even through the microphone, he could feel the feeling of loneliness:
"After yesterday's game, look at the more than 80 hands. I'm afraid it won't make sense if I drag it on."
Although this special game has not yet reached a hundred moves, as Black, he is already at a disadvantage, which is very similar to yesterday's game.
Of course, there is another reason that prompted him to end, that as time goes by, some complaints appeared in the chess academy. Not to mention that it occupied an empty chess room, it was said that the few employees who stayed in front of the chessboard 24 hours a day sometimes did nothing for a day, which was a considerable expense.
Even if he paid the relevant fees, he still couldn't stop Youyou's mouth.
...
It took nearly an hour and a half to rush from Chunhailiao to Qihun Magazine.
Qianyuan Haozhi suddenly regretted that although the house is cheap and is still in the port area, it is really too remote.
After arriving at the magazine, Yaguchi Kano and Takeguchi Ryohei were already sitting at their desks.
Although one of these two people is nominally the editor-in-chief and the other is the deputy editor-in-chief, they do not set up a separate office for themselves and still work in public office areas.
Seeing him coming, Yaguru put down his work and came to the only office of the entire magazine.
Chihara Hiroshi knew what he wanted to say.
The day before yesterday, after discussing the authorization of "Chess of Light", he immediately called Yaguchi to notify him.
And yesterday it was a game again, so the two did not contact each other.
Now, looking at this, I probably want to talk about this.
However, Yaguru took out a document first and put it at his hand, and said:
"President, this is all aspects of the first issue of "Soul of Chess". Please take a look!"
Hiroshi Chihara opened up and found that there were various professional statistics, and even some statistical data based on the questionnaire.
"I got it, I'll take a closer look later." He put the documents aside.
Sure enough, next, Yaguchi Kanfu talked about "Chess of Light" and said:
"President, I understand that you are also considering the society, but if such a thing happens in the future, please inform us first."
Hiroshi Chihara was a little disappointed:
If you say it, Yaguchi Kanfu will definitely have more than him. Starting from the second issue, most of the manuscripts will be reviewed by him and Takeguchi.
The only thing that can be done in half a month is to complete the compilation of the second period.
"What do you think of "Chess of Light" serialized on "Chess Soul"?"
To his surprise, the stingy man actually agreed and said bluntly that this was a good idea.
Chihara Hiroshi looked at him strangely, and his meaning was clear:
‘A dozen days ago, didn’t you say that I can’t expose the fact that I read comics so as not to be regarded as an otaku?’
The silly mouth seemed to hear his voice and said:
"As you said before, the audience subject of the comics and the positioning subject of "Chess Soul" are the same. I won't let you expose it because you are a celebrity. If you get criticized, there will be a lot of trouble.
