It took Ogata Seiji a long time to get rid of the entanglement of reporters and escape from the encirclement. Ogata wiped the faint sweat from his forehead.
These reporters are really difficult to deal with.
Entering the chess academy hall, under the guidance of the staff, Ogata came to the game room. Today's game is the Honinbo round-robin tournament. Although it is not as important as the finals, the necessary staffing is still there.
"Mr. Ogata."X2
Reporters and staff of the organizer were already ready. When they saw Ogata Seiji entering the venue, they took the initiative to say hello to him.
"Mr. Ono, Mr. Akimura, hello."
As expected, everyone present was an old acquaintance, and Ogata Seiji smiled back.
"Mr. Ogata."
On the other side, Kurata Hou, a junior, stood up on his own initiative, with a smile on his chubby face.
"Kurata 5th Dan, I've been waiting for a long time."
Kurata Hou smiled slightly and said modestly: "I just arrived too."
The two parties chatted for a while, and then Ono, a staff member of the organizer, coughed slightly, interrupting the exchange between the two.
"Ogata is 9th dan, Kurata is 5th dan, the time is coming. If both sides are ready, then the game will officially begin, right?"
"good."
"no problem."
"Please give me more guidance!" X2
The game officially started. According to the pre-game draw, Ogata went first with black and Kurata Atsushi with white in the first game.
First hand, four out of four, star position.
It was a very routine start. Kurata didn't even think about it and directly placed the white stone at four out of sixteen, which was also the star position.
In the second move, Black landed on four of seventeen, adjacent to the small eye.
Black's third move, eleven out of three.
Seeing this hand, the faces of the three people present showed a look of surprise.
This layout is not in line with Ogata's ninth-dan style.
Kurata Atsushi looked at the chessboard thoughtfully. Could it be that Mr. Ogata is planning to try a new style today?
Thinking of this, Kurata Hou couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
Mr. Ogata seems to have seen himself a little bit clearly. He actually gave up the layout that he was best at and started using the "Chinese style" that he was not good at.
snort.
I will use my own strength to respond to you, don't underestimate others!
As a professional chess player, Kurata Atsushi is no stranger to the Chinese style. The layout of the Chinese style emphasizes speed and takes into account both the external position and the actual position. You can flexibly choose between the actual position and the external position according to different situations.
This is the advantage of Huaxia Liu, but everything has two sides, and Huaxia Liu naturally cannot escape this law.
Kurata Atsushi took out a chess piece from the chess box and firmly occupied the star position in the lower left corner.
Black's fourth move, sixteen of sixteen.
"Um?"
Ono, the recorder on the side, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this hand.
The next moment, Ono immediately realized his mistake. In this situation, as the official record-keeper, he should not have made such a mistake at all.
Just when he was about to apologize, he found that the two chess players did not seem to be affected by this and were still immersed in the game. Only reporter Akimura looked at him doubtfully.
Ono smiled a little apologetically, then glanced at the chess game and motioned for Qiucun to take a look.
Following Ono's lead, Akimura turned his attention to the chess game. When he saw the beginning of the black chess piece clearly, there was also a hint of horror in his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other silently, with an expression on their faces that said, "Did you make a mistake?"
Kurata Atsushi didn't notice the small movements of the two people. His mind was completely attracted by Ogata's fourth hand.
At the beginning, click on the three three on his lower right.
In this river?
Hengbuheli!
Why did Mr. Ogata do this?
Is it a specially prepared secret weapon?
As for whether it was a mistake, Kurata Atsushi never thought about this possibility. Who is the person sitting opposite him?
Ogata 9th Dan, the proud pupil of R country's No. 1 man Taya Hito, the youngest professional 9th Dan.
How could such a person make such a mistake that even a college student would not make?
In Go, Kurata Atsushi possesses extraordinary intuition. Faced with this extraordinary move, his intuition told him that this move was by no means an evil move, but that there was something else going on.
Kurata Atsushi fell into a long exam.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhizi was a little confused. He didn't understand why Kurata's 5th Dan fell into a long test just after the start, and it was a super long test.
Go has nineteen lanes, with a total of 361 intersections. We have only reached the seventh move now, and the subsequent changes are almost endless.
Is it necessary to think about it for so long before starting?
Another five minutes passed, and Kurata Atsushi finally clarified his thoughts.
Stay unchanged in response to ever-changing changes!
…
…
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the same quiet room, looking at the chess game in front of him, Kurata Atsushi stretched out his hand to loosen the buttons of his shirt.
It's a little hot.
Immediately, he picked up the folding fan placed aside and shook it gently.
A breeze suddenly picked up, but this wisp of breeze could not calm the heat in his heart. Unconsciously, his temples were covered with sweat stains.
Although this game of chess has only reached the middle game, his dragon is already on the verge of death.
(Big dragon: refers to the entire chess piece that has not yet gained stability in the chess game and may be attacked and threatened by the opponent, usually on a dozen or so targets)
As soon as the big dragon dies, Bai Zi's army in the central area will almost be wiped out, with a gap of nearly twenty goals. No matter how good the follow-up moves are, it will be difficult to recover.
Now Bai Zi's defeat can be said to be certain.
The four people present, Ogata and Kurata, are both professional chess players, so they can naturally see this. Even Ono and Akimura, who are watching the game, can see that the white chess piece is finished.
However, Kurata Atsushi did not directly throw in the chess piece and admit defeat. Instead, he looked at the chessboard blankly and thought carefully about which step he fell into the trap from.
'Jump?'
'dig?'
'plate?'
'bump?'
'No...no, none of that!'
'Even sooner...'
Kurata Atsushi's eyes passed over one chess piece after another, and finally locked on Black's fourth move, Sixteen of Sixteen.
From this point on, he has fallen into the trap carefully prepared by Ogata 9th Dan.
There is no problem with my own response. The real problem is that I should not let this move and the other move jump together, seize the high position, and use white to give Black a strong external advantage.
Later, Black used that lever to connect the center and the corner, gradually expanding the advantage in the lower right corner to the midfield.
One wrong move!
Wrong step!
Black's advantage is getting bigger and bigger, and White's disadvantage is naturally getting bigger and bigger. The two are directly proportional.
call!
After figuring out where he lost, Kurata let out a long sigh of relief.
For professional chess players, losing is not terrible. Just find a chance to win back next time.
The scary thing is that I lost inexplicably and I still don’t know where I lost.
"I lost."
Kurata Atsushi smiled in relief, took out two chess pieces from the chess box and placed them on the chess board.
