Faced with Bai Song's straightforward words, the Japanese Chess Academy suddenly hesitated.
According to the rules, it is undisputed that Bai Song was directly awarded the loss because of being late.
But Bai Song's attitude was very sincere and he gave two choices, whether to continue or to lose directly.
Bai Song showed enough generosity as a guest.
If Dongying Chess Academy loses directly, I'm afraid it will lose its dignity.
Moreover, winning due to factors other than the chess game does not reflect the strength of Japanese Go.
And before that, the only game this Datang chess player lost was because he made a major mistake.
If you win twice due to factors other than the chess game, it will always give people an uncomfortable feeling.
As Bai Song's opponent, Master Kira showed no expression on his face, but his heart was already shaken.
In this third round of chess, Dongying Chess Academy seemed to be played by Kira Minamoto alone, but in fact, all the elites of the chess academy were gathered together to conduct a comprehensive study of all the chess games of the Bai Song Dynasty.
With full preparations, Minamoto Kira was full of expectations for today's battle, but due to Bai Song's late arrival, an easy victory in front of him was too tempting.
The chess room was too quiet. Several referees seemed to be waiting for Minamoto Kira's attitude, and Minamoto Kira seemed to be waiting for the referee's decision.
Bai Song stood at the door for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "Everyone, this first round..."
"The first round continues..." Minamoto Kira finally stood up and said, "Japanese chess players must use their strength to defeat their opponents, and I will make you convinced of your defeat."
Several referees exchanged glances, seeming a little surprised by Minamoto Kira's decision. One of them took two steps forward, as if he had something to say to Minamoto Kira.
Minamoto Kira didn't let the opponent speak, raised his hand to interrupt, and added seriously: "The opponent is not late for a long time, Japan needs an honest victory, let the chess game continue."
The referee frowned and finally chose to remain silent.
Bai Song arrived at the chessboard, and the first game of three rounds of chess officially began.
Outside the chess room, everywhere in the chess academy, as well as in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, there was a lot of discussion. In the first game of three chess games, the opponent was late, but the penalty result was not announced. The chess room was quiet, and no one knew what the chess game was going to be.
Have you started yet?
"Grandpa, this first game should have been a loss. How come it took so long but there was no movement at all?"
Among the crowd in the chess court, Xiaokui looked in the direction of the chess room with some confusion.
Mu Zhi also had the same doubts: "There has been no movement for so long. Maybe the chess game is going on as usual?"
"Hey!" Xiaokui sighed, "I told you there was not enough time, but the young master is not worried at all. Now it's good, you are really late. Wouldn't it be a pity if you are directly judged to lose?"
"Don't be impatient. If the chess game continues as usual, the progress of the chess game will be announced outside."
There is a huge hanging chess board in the chess courtyard square. The situation of the chess game in the chess room will be announced here so that outsiders can understand the progress of the chess game.
Generally speaking, a quarter of an hour after the chess game starts, the progress of the chess game will be announced outside, and a dedicated person will be responsible for explaining it.
Today's situation is a little different. A quarter of an hour has passed, and the progress of the chess game has not been made public.
The first game was a bit confusing. The progress of the chess game was not announced, and there was no direct verdict. The discussion became more and more intense, and gradually some people protested and asked the chess academy to give an explanation.
Today's chess game is not only related to the chess academy, but also the honor of the entire Japanese chess world, so the public's enthusiasm is very high.
Seeing that the public's emotions could no longer be suppressed, the first part of the chess score was finally released.
At this time, it had been more than half an hour since Bai Song entered the chess room.
The chess records were released a long time ago, but fortunately, with the chess records, the mood of the outside world has finally eased.
The people stopped complaining and their attention was quickly attracted by the chess game.
Everyone present hopes that Master Kira will win. Among the entire audience, apart from Mu Zhi and Xiao Kui, Bai Rou is probably the only one who is on Bai Song's side.
The people in the Tang Dynasty mission were not interested in Go, and they didn't even know that the impact of the whole thing would be so great. Everyone stayed in the garden to do their own things, and only Bai Rou came to watch the game as a representative.
The rest of the people focused on the chess game. Bai Rou didn't understand chess, so her focus was on time.
Why did the chess records appear so late, and why was there no explanation from the chess academy?
At this moment, the two chess players in the chess room knew nothing about the outside world.
The chess game outside has just begun, but the game inside the chess room has already entered the middle game.
The chess game is clear, and Bai Song has established a solid advantage in the layout stage. Although the combat advantage in the middle game is gradually getting smaller, an advantage is an advantage. As the space on the chessboard where the pieces can be placed becomes smaller and smaller, there is not much time left for Minamoto Kira.
.
Minamoto Kira was caught in the chess game, his brows were full of sorrow, and his old hands were already trembling.
What Minamoto Kira fears is not winning or losing in a game of chess, but when he faces Bai Song, he realizes that Bai Song's strength far exceeds his expectations.
Although he gathered all the outstanding chess players in the chess academy to study the opponent's routines, the research these days has no effect at all. Bai Song's formula today is completely different from before. The advantage established in the layout stage is enough for Bai Song to squander in the middle game. If it were not for the chess game
The stakes are so high that Minamoto Kira will probably admit defeat early in the layout stage.
The situation is not optimistic, and it feels like Minamoto Kira will give in at any time.
The referees in the chess academy looked a little anxious when they saw the situation, and they looked at each other as if they were discussing something.
Bai Song was very serious and focused on the chess game.
I have to admit that this Master Kira is really powerful, the most powerful chess player he has ever encountered in this era.
If it weren't for the special training these days, Bai Song would really not be his opponent.
But it is a pity that after a few days of training, Bai Song, who has thousands of years of Go experience, is beyond the times. No matter how powerful Minamoto Kira is, it is still impossible to defeat him in the face of the limitations of the times.
"Do you still want to persist? Master Kira?"
After nearly an hour, Bai Song finally spoke his first words.
In a chess game, it is extremely inappropriate for the opponent to speak before admitting defeat.
When Bai Song said this, he seemed very arrogant and at the same time expressed a kind of protest.
Bai Song believed that the result of the chess game was obvious, and that the opponent's delay in admitting defeat was deliberately delaying time.
Minamoto Kira's face turned red. He was not dissatisfied with Bai Song's behavior. On the contrary, he was a little ashamed. The reason why he insisted was that he was unwilling to accept the result of the chess game.
After saying this, Minamoto Kira could no longer hold the chess pieces in his hand. After some hesitation, he reached into the chess box and casually grabbed a handful of chess pieces. Just as he was about to scatter the chess pieces on the chessboard, a voice suddenly interrupted.
"In the first game of the third round of chess, the Tang chess player misjudged the loss."
