Matsumoto was very excited when he spoke, and his Chinese was not very authentic, which made him sound a little strange and difficult to understand.
Everyone saw the two chess pieces that Matsumoto pointed at, but because Matsumoto suspected that the difference between his two clicks was one acre, he suspected that someone was secretly moving the chess pieces...
This reason is somewhat far-fetched.
At this time, Mo Bai next to Xia Shang smiled and said: "The Go chess calculation method is to calculate a rough estimate in advance. No one can guarantee 100% accuracy. Not to mention the difference of one mu between the two times, even a difference of four or five mu is normal.
It’s a bit ridiculous for Matsumoto-dono to question someone who moved the chess piece just because he made a mistake twice.”
Mo Bai's words resonated with everyone, and they all nodded in agreement.
But Matsumoto stared at Mo Bai angrily: "If you make any mistakes in the game, that's just for you ordinary players. Real masters will never make mistakes in the game. Besides, this game is already very clear.
There are not many variables left. Although it has not reached the final stage, the result is clear at a glance. In this kind of chess game, I should not make mistakes, and I will not make mistakes! The first time I clicked Mu, it was clear that black won..."
As he spoke, Matsumoto fell into deep thought again, looking at the two children on his fingers.
"Matsumoto, what are you doing? You say you have won the situation now, why are you so crazy? Hurry up and continue the chess game and let him be convinced that he lost!"
The Japanese prince shouted from the side, looking a little anxious.
But Matsumoto had fallen silent in his own world, not hearing anyone else's words and taking no action.
Suddenly, Matsumoto's eyes lit up, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You don't believe it? Well, let me tell you, if the chess game does not change, then the chess shape here is wrong, and no chess player will play such a chess shape.
I can review the game just now and let you see if the real situation is the same as now."
Everyone frowned, knowing that what Matsumoto said was not impossible.
The memory of masters is amazing. They can completely replay the chess game from the beginning. When they get to the details, they can naturally see whether the situation is the same.
However, it is really against the rules to start reviewing the game before it is over.
"We are now in a cultural association between the two countries. Isn't Matsumoto-dono's words right?"
Is it too childish?" Mo Bai asked lightly.
"This is indeed inappropriate. But there is another way to prove my words!" Matsumoto pointed outside the crowd, "Someone over there is talking about chess, and they are talking about the game I played. If someone moves
Chess pieces, the situation on the chess side is different from the chess game we are facing now. Please check it immediately to see if this detail is different?"
That's right! There is a chess game being explained next to it. Just a comparison can naturally verify Matsumoto's words.
For a time, countless pairs of eyes turned to the chessboard on the other side.
Seeing this, everyone took a breath.
The situation is just as Songbai said, the positions of the two chess pieces are indeed different, and they should have been moved.
However, because the chess game just now was so exciting and important, everyone's eyes and attention were all on the final battle. No one paid attention to the area that had been finalized in the corners, so no one noticed it, and there was no trace of it at all.
I don’t know how the two chess pieces moved.
Seeing that everyone accepted his statement, Matsumoto breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep breath, slowly narrowed his eyes, stood up straight and bowed deeply to Xia Shang: "I admit defeat, but
Just admitting that I lost this game does not mean that my chess skills are not as good as yours. However, I still have to ask for your forgiveness. I, Matsumoto, will never use such despicable means to win. The situation in front of me was not my intention, nor was it my intention to win.
My will.”
In fact, Xia Shang already noticed that the shape of the chess piece was wrong when Matsumoto pointed to that corner. A real Go master can tell the order of the pieces in this area just by looking at the shape of the chess pieces. Xia Shang saw exactly how the pieces were.
The arrangement is very strange. I feel that if I were playing chess by myself, it would be impossible to have such a shape. There is a high possibility that the chess pieces have been moved.
However, he couldn't say much in the current situation. He couldn't go into such minutiae just because he was about to lose. If it didn't make sense, he would end up with a reputation as someone who couldn't afford to lose.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Matsumoto tried his best to defend himself. In order to fulfill his wish for the true situation, he even had to throw away the victory he had obtained, and this was in such an important game.
This Matsumoto is indeed a chess player, and it further proves Xia Shang's inner persistence - the quality of a person has nothing to do with nationality, and Japanese people are also worthy of respect.
.
Xia Shang took a breath, stood up, bowed to Matsumoto, and said lightly: "I accept the concession."
"Matsumoto!" The Japanese prince rushed to Matsumoto angrily and grabbed him by the collar, "Are you crazy? After finally winning the situation, you actually surrendered on your own initiative? Do you know that there are many problems in this game?
It’s important, it’s about the dignity of our Japanese country!”
Matsumoto didn't make any move and allowed the other party to pull him, but his expression was very serious.
"Your Highness, the only way to truly safeguard Japan's dignity is to not win by despicable means. I lost this game, and Matsumoto is willing to accept any punishment."
"You..." The Japanese prince was very angry, but chess players had a high social status in the Japanese society. Genius chess players like Matsumoto were even more super idols among the people. Even the Japanese prince did not dare to beat or scold him at will. He could only
He gave up angrily.
"That's all, let's go to the next round! I want to see how many more people he can win?"
"Wait..." Matsumoto interrupted.
The Japanese prince frowned: "What? What else do you want to say?"
"Although I lost this game of chess, the person who moved the two pieces has not been found yet, and this is not over yet."
The Japanese prince frowned even more tightly: "Matsumoto, don't push yourself too far. Where did the loser come from so much nonsense?"
"Such an important chess game has been secretly tampered with. As a chess player, I will never forgive such a thing."
"It's just that the two chess pieces moved. Maybe someone touched them accidentally? Don't be so serious." The prince of Japan suddenly pointed at Xia Shang, "The chess pieces are on his left side, maybe he touched them lightly. But he
It’s impossible to let yourself lose intentionally, it can only be done unintentionally.”
Matsumoto shook his head: "It can't be Brother Xia, because he is playing with his right hand and his left hand is always pressed on his left leg. Brother Xia is very cautious during the game and almost never moves his left hand. Moreover, his left hand is still
There was a cup of tea standing in the way. If he wanted to touch the two chess pieces, he would definitely have to drink tea first. But Brother Xia only picked up the tea cup at the last moment. But at that moment, Brother Xia was nervous.
His hands were shaking, so I took a special look at him and saw with my own eyes that he was very careful and did not touch the chessboard at all."
