Chapter 369 Arranged
The next day, early in the morning.

Kento Kitahara only ate a little breakfast, about one-third full, and took a bus to Tokyo Kiin from the stop sign downstairs of Kashiwagi's house.

On the way, I bought a glass of ice drink with super high sugar content to replenish sugar for the brain. Today's opponent should not be underestimated, he has to be serious.

He sucked the straw, drank while walking, and walked quickly into the hall of the chess academy. Today, the chess academy has a lot of accents from the Kansai area. He guessed that the group C competition of the Kansai academy is almost over, and they will come to the Tokyo chess academy together. Participate in Group B round robin.

He had already played a game of chess yesterday, and he could clearly feel that the strength of the players in Group B was higher than that in Group C.Just like in the chess academy, there are far fewer elderly seniors walking around.

In his opinion, Group B is the real celebrity preliminaries, while Group C is a welfare match for nursing homes.

"It's no wonder that island country chess players are generally weak in the world chess world. There are many domestic benefits, good remuneration, high bonuses, and little competition. In such a comfortable comfort zone, why jump out and lose face and money?" Kitahara sage secretly complained about the island country's professional Go environment The comfortable environment, all the way along the corridor, first arrived at the game room.

His opponent this round is still an old senior.

Different from the previous older seniors, this senior, who struggled in the "Post-Six Super League" era, is one of the four heavenly kings of Heisei. He has won different titles many times in his career and has a rich professional resume. Now that he is getting older, he has gradually fallen out of the first-line team, but his strength is still not to be underestimated, at least he dare not be careless.

The sage of Beiyuan sat upright in front of the chess pier. Before the opponent came, he turned his head and asked the staff for a cup of black tea with sugar. He was afraid that he would overcalculate, lose nutrition, and become dizzy.

About 15 minutes later, the opponents of this round arrived in the game room. The opponents were not old, in their 40s, but for modern professional Go, being in their 40s was considered very "old".

Senior Takao was dressed very solemnly, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and wearing thin silver-rimmed glasses, probably because he hadn't left the house for a long time. His complexion was a little pale, and Kitahara Kento looked at him slightly, and bowed down politely.

Soon, the game begins.

After slowly playing more than twenty moves, the sage of Beiyuan gradually raised his eyebrows.

Senior Takao's game experience is very experienced, and he knows that he is old, and he will definitely not be able to compete with young people in terms of calculation and physical strength, so he would rather lose a little part of it, and pursue a concise handling.Resolutely avoid fighting, avoid complicated situations, play a set of "Kung Fu Chess", and slowly compete "internal strength" with Beiyuan sages.

The opponent should have studied his chess records and has a deep understanding of his powerful mid-game combat power.

Of course the sage of Beiyuan was not happy, he knew that if he could fight for his internal strength, he would not be able to fight against the veterans with deep internal strength in all likelihood.

He has only played chess for a few years, but he has been playing chess all his life, and he is very self-aware. He has always been weak in layout and ending. In the end, he was very suspenseful about winning or losing.

There is no reason to use the short to attack the long, the sage of Beiyuan took the initiative to attack, took a white piece, provoked trouble, and blatantly launched a sneak attack on the old senior who was old and weak!
"For this round of fighting, although I'm relatively weak, I'm a bit reluctant." The sage of Beiyuan calculated carefully, and came to a judgment in his heart, secretly said: "But it doesn't matter, I will bet that you are getting older, and your calculation power and physical strength will decline, so it doesn't count." Clearly, it won't last long. And this part, even if you deal with it all and take advantage of it, there will still be continuous contact wars waiting for you, it depends on whether you can handle it!"

One piece fell, tearing up the stable pattern of kung fu chess, Beiyuan sage raised his eyelids, and sure enough, the opponent's expression has become very serious.

Seeing Senior Takao's seriousness, Kitahara Kento felt that this game was going to be troublesome, not the old bastards he had met before, this game of chess would probably take three to four hours to finish at least.

As expected, Senior Takao thought for a long time frequently, and made his moves very carefully, making it clear that he wanted to play a serious game with the Kitahara sage.

The sage of Beiyuan felt quite tricky. After more than twenty moves, his opponent's calculations were still very accurate and he never made any mistakes.

Taking a closer look, the form of the chessboard has quietly changed.

Originally he was the one who had the advantage, but the old senior cleverly seized the opportunity to attack the excessive sneak attack, and the impeccable operation arrangement saved the situation and turned into an inextricable kung fu chess pattern.

Kitahara sage slowed down his breathing and calmed down, knowing that this was the opponent's strategy against him.

"He has studied many of my chess records. He knows that my official level is relatively weak." Beiyuan Xianren thought silently in his heart.

There is a jargon in Go called "Being ahead does not mean winning".

It is often seen that in the first half of the game, the opponent is suppressed throughout the entire game, taking advantage, and it is about to win the game, but in the final stage, one is inattentive, does not pay attention, or time is tight, and the opponent A mistake in the value judgment, the last move is wrong, and the whole game is lost!

The sage of Beiyuan frowned, his opponent clearly planned to play like this with him, to have a showdown at the final official stage.

"He is sure that even if he loses a bit in the first half, he will eventually be able to win me with a better official? The official who bullied me is weaker?" The sage of Beiyuan pondered for a long time, then raised his head and glanced at the man who was thinking deeply. Senior Takao.

"Happy to accompany you!" Beiyuan sage thought to himself: "The premise is that you can withstand my violent attack!"

He had already calculated it clearly, so he snapped it up!Take the most severe attack method!
A posture of defensive counterattack, yes, it depends on whether you can hold on to the wave after wave of impact!

The Kitahara sage looked at it from the corner of his eye. When Senior Takao saw this move, he immediately straightened his back, with a solemn expression, and stared at the chessboard.

After taking the exam for more than 20 minutes, the old man hesitated a little and dropped the ball.

The sage of Beiyuan has long been aware of all kinds of changes, so he doesn't need to waste any more time, just follow up with a white stone, and don't give his opponent any room to breathe!

Seeing that he immediately made a move, the old senior gave a sad "tsk", looked up at Beiyuan, shook his head, and continued to look at the chessboard tiredly.

ten minutes later.

Snapped.

Snapped!The sage of Beiyuan settled his son immediately again, but he didn't give the old man a little rest time.

An hour later.

"Pa", the sage of Beiyuan followed Luozi closely again. At this time, the old senior opposite the chess pier suddenly let out a sigh of relief and collapsed.

The chessboard has changed.

"I only persisted in 54 strokes." Beiyuan sage said silently in his heart.

He could see very clearly that by now, this old senior's physical strength was on the verge of limit, the few moves just now were obviously due to his brain fainting, he couldn't figure it out clearly, and made a big mistake!
The old man slowly picked up the teacup, his face was obviously tired, he took a sip of the tea, closed the lid, and looked at the chessboard with a weary expression.

The sage of Beiyuan waited quietly for the opponent to make a move, guessing in his heart that the opponent should "find a step" in a while.

Senior Takao's strategy is very good. Knowing that his official level is weak, he uses his strengths and avoids his weaknesses.

It's a pity that under his wave after wave of mad attacks, Senior Takao's body couldn't hold on before he was dragged to the official position. The situation was very bad, and the chessboard entered garbage time, and there was no need to end the game.

As expected, when Senior Takao put down his teacup, he didn't continue to think deeply. He just watched it symbolically for 5 minutes, chose a part, changed it, and completely cut off all possibilities. He gave up and found a step. walk down.

Game over.

Kento Kitahara got up and bowed slightly to salute. Senior Takao also bowed in return. The male referee entered the field, decided the outcome, and then signed his name.

Not in a hurry to go home, he asked the staff for a cup of black tea with sugar, found a bench in the corridor, sat down, leaned his head against the wall, and rested his head for a while.

He looked up at the ceiling, his thoughts wandering.

"I have to strengthen the training of officials in the future. If it is really delayed until then, if the front does not have an advantage, it is really not sure to win the victory."

For a long time, he has been a little behind in the layout. In the mid-stage battle stage, with his strong computing power, he recovered a lot, and in the official stage, he lost a little more. The advantage, even if the official is at a slight disadvantage, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will always win. It's easy to deal with, because he really doesn't have confidence in his official level.

The sage of Beiyuan was helpless. Compared with his peers, he had five years less time to practice official games, let alone the seniors who had played chess all their lives.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard two voices on the stairs. He couldn't make out what they said, but the voices were very familiar.

It should be Toshigo Goto, the executive director of the Ki Academy.Before he signed up for the high school Go tournament, he signed up a few days late. It was because of Grandpa Wugong that he found the executive director of the chess academy, so he was added.

The other voice was Senior Takao who was playing chess with him just now.

Executive Director Goto smiled and said, "Takao, how do you feel about Kitahara-kun's chess skills?"

Senior Takao said in a weary voice: "A young man with great potential, he has very strong computing power, and his mid-game power is terrifying. He will definitely be able to enter the final circle."

Executive Director Goto said in surprise, "So sure?"

Senior Takao: "His current points seem to be unbeatable? I'm very optimistic about him, even."

"Even what?"

Senior Takao hesitated and said, "Maybe he will challenge Jing Shan in the end."

The executive director was taken aback and asked, "Takao trusts him so much?"

Senior Takao said deeply, "I think it's possible. His mid-game combat power is too strong, much stronger than the nine players in the final circle last time."

Senior Takao paused, and said in a serious tone: "Goto, that kid is not bad, he is very strong in chess, the key is that he has a better image, and he is still a high school student, very young. In my opinion, he is no worse than any male idol. I suggest that the Chess Academy promote him more, and try to see if it can bring some attention to Go."

The executive director smiled and said: "We have been prepared for a long time, and we have no intention of letting go of that good material. We are still warming up. Just wait for Beiyuan-jun to enter the final circle, and the Chess Institute will vigorously promote him to the outside world."
