"It's unbelievable. Matsumoto-kun is known as the number one player in layout. Due to his age, his chess skills are a bit fast. If he develops in a year or two, he will definitely be the number one player in Japan. But today's match against Dahua players, Matsumoto-kun is actually in
The layout stage is slightly behind..."
"I'm afraid this is the only game in the past three years where Matsumoto-kun fell behind in the layout stage..."
"You'd better see clearly. If Matsumoto-kun loses this round, it will be your turn later. Think about which of you is this person's opponent!"
After hearing this, the Japanese representatives finally felt the pressure. It seemed that today's cultural meeting was much more difficult than imagined.
I don’t know where this Xia Chunqiu came from. For three rounds in a row, he suppressed the Japanese state and made it difficult for them to breathe.
The third round of the competition has reached a point where Japan cannot afford to lose any more, otherwise it will shoot itself in the foot. If word spreads, it will be unable to explain to the Japanese royal family.
The chess game is still going on, and advantages and disadvantages are gradually emerging. Xia Shang's sunspots gradually take the lead due to their impeccable layout rhythm, but this lead cannot affect the overall outcome.
Xia Shang was also quite surprised. This Japanese chess player had very advanced layout ideas and very accurate judgment. He knew the key points of each move and could always follow Xia Shang's moves.
From his body, Xia Shang couldn't feel any shadow of ancient chess players, as if he was a modern chess player playing against him.
Such a game is presented in front of a group of ancients. It can be said that every step is familiar but also strange, and every step can bring reasonable and unexpected surprises.
Not only were the people at the artificial lake dumbfounded, the news spread to the main building and dozens of literati in the main building were also dumbfounded.
Such a chess game is as violent as a planetary collision beyond human understanding, and it seems to open a new world for everyone.
At this time, Yoshiko, who was hiding in the small room, was holding an Akita dog from the ocean. On the table was the sketch drawn by Xia Shang in the first round.
Zero Four was standing outside the house, motionless, like a robot.
Suddenly, Yoshiko's voice came: "What's going on with Wenhui? I heard that we have lost two rounds, and it's time for him to play in the third round of the chess competition."
"Miss, the situation at the Wenhui is rather complicated, and that person's appearance was unexpected."
“Before, they swore to me that most of the Chinese literati were just an illusion.
We are already arrogant. Just one cultural conference can suppress the arrogance in the hearts of Chinese scholars and create favorable psychological conditions for future exchanges between the two countries. As a result, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. I believe no one wants to see our own
The country has lost three games in a row at such cultural conferences."
"Don't worry, miss. Go has been popular in our country for a long time. Twenty years ago, our players also swept Dahua. The chess skills of these representatives are very good. We will not lose this game."
Ji Zi smiled: "Without him, I believe you. But if he appears, everything will be hard to say. I have seen him playing chess, and I have even seen the 'Xianren Yin' chess game that is spread among the people of China.
There are tens of millions of capable people in China, and there is no guarantee that there will be someone with chess skills that exceeds that of ordinary people. You'd better keep an eye on it to avoid another accident."
"Miss, if I leave, your side..."
"Who else can get close here? You go over there and see the situation. When you are about to lose, you have to do something."
"What the lady means is..."
"Let's just say the princess is missing."
"Um?"
"If the cultural meeting is interrupted, there will be no results."
"this……"
"Just do what I want!"
"yes."
Zero Four responded and headed towards the artificial lake ahead.
Seeing Zero Si walking away, Yoshiko in the house lost the dog in her arms and started to take off her clothes in a panic.
The maid in the room was a little surprised: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Jizi smiled playfully: "Let's go and see the excitement."
"What?!" The maid opened her mouth in surprise.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"Princess, how can you do this? What would you do if someone knew you had sneaked out?"
"You're stupid! Didn't you hear what I just said? Later, if I want to interrupt the cultural gathering because the princess is missing, if I still stay in the room, doesn't it mean that it is an excuse to interrupt the cultural gathering? We are Japanese
Where is the face? Therefore, you must cooperate with me to disappear for a period of time. This is also for the sake of the overall situation."
The maid made a grimace: "Princess, are you really doing this for the overall good?"
"Okay, okay, hurry up, or you'll be discovered."
…
Back to the chess game,
Everyone was so attracted by the chess game that they lost their voices.
At the end of the layout phase, the speed of moves made by both sides of the game has obviously slowed down.
These two people are really destined to have good layouts, so they are very decisive in their layouts. In the middle game, they seem a little less confident, and naturally they will be more vigilant.
Xia Shang had never been so focused on playing chess before. He was almost in the state of falling into the "Xianren Yin" chess game.
Unconsciously, my forehead was covered with fine sweat, and my lips were bitten and turned white.
His opponent didn't have a hard time either. This was the first time he met someone who could suppress him in the layout stage. He felt unprecedented pressure. He sweated more than Xia Shang, and the handkerchief he held as a treasure fell from his palm.
It fell on the ground and I forgot to pick it up.
"Gulu..." Mo Bai swallowed. He had never seen Xia Shang play chess, and he didn't expect that Xia Shang's chess skills were so terrifying.
Even in the middle of the game, Xia Shang still maintained a slight advantage. Although the move was slow and lacked many flashes of inspiration in the layout, he always found the key points and followed the steps step by step, which was very steady.
Only now did Mo Bai understand why Yang Shang felt ashamed in his hands.
If this situation continues, the probability of Xia and Shang's victory is very high.
The explainer of the chess game outside held his breath and tried to maintain a steady speaking speed to explain to everyone: "Now, the key to victory or defeat lies in the three white stones in the upper left corner. There are two ways in front of the Japanese chess players, either choose double
Live, or kill the four black pieces through robbery. We can take a look, choose double live, enter the closing game, the black game is ten acres ahead on the board, including the close goal, such a disadvantage enters the closing stage, and white cannot accept it.
If Black's four pieces are counterattacked by tying knots, the board will be one acre ahead of Black's, but it will waste a lot of the initiative at the end. Moreover, the initiative will be given to Black. So, at present, Black's advantage is relatively
Big, White should start thinking about surrendering."
After hearing this explanation, everyone was shocked. Are Dahua chess players really going to win?
Most of the people listening to the explanation were not very proficient in Go, but those around them who knew the game had already seen the changes in the game.
The representatives of the Japanese nation all looked ashen and could hardly believe their eyes.
Even Nami was shocked by this game. Xia Shang's chess performance today was even better than when he played against her that day.
