……
If you observe carefully, you can find that most of those who support Yushan Kazuto are girls, while most of those who support Sora Ginko are boys.
Logically speaking, the number of girls who like shogi should be far less than the number of boys who like shogi.
However, in the venue, the support for Yushan Kazuto was able to compete with the support for Sora Ginko, and even had a tendency to surpass it, which was enough to show how popular he was.
"You're quite popular." Yushan Heren said with a smile as he sat down on the chess seat.
Kong Yinzi looked up at Yushan and others, said nothing, and started setting up the chessboard by herself.
Seeing this, Yushan Heren just smiled slightly, let out a breath, and waited for Kong Yinzi to make his move.
▲2Six steps.
Kong Yinzi looked at the chessboard carefully and chose an uncommon move.
Generally speaking, the first move in shogi is usually ▲7, which is the most classic way of moving. Seventy percent of the first moves in official shogi games are made in this way.
Among the basic tactics of Tulongwei, the six-step ▲7 is the most commonly used, accounting for % of all openings, which is a higher proportion than in normal games.
The ▲2 six steps are not common in the tactics of Tulongwei and account for a small proportion, but they are all relatively complex situations and have strong universality. It can be seen that Kong Yinzi should be playing it safe in this game.
[Are you looking for stability? But in front of me, it's not that easy to ask for stability. ]
……
More than an hour passed and the situation became somewhat stalemate. Neither side lost many pieces, but the entire game looked somewhat fragmented.
There is no order, and no chess pieces are connected. Most of the chess pieces on the scene are separated and fight on their own. If they were not divided into two sides, it might look more like a scene of heroes competing for supremacy in the Warring States Period.
Kong Yinzi looked at the chessboard, feeling a little anxious. The chess played by Yushan and others seemed to be countering each other's moves, with no clear pattern at all, as if they were beginners who were just learning to counter each other's moves.
However, Yushan Heren's moves were just perfect, completely destroying all her plans and possibilities.
Kong Yinzi felt like a puppet, being led by Yushan and others. She had no chess moves of her own and couldn't even make a layout for the Dragon Slaying Guard.
[This... is this the new combat method you have learned? ]
Kong Yinzi looked at Yushan and others with cold eyes.
Yushan Heren's moves made her feel like she had no moves to make, and every move she made was like gambling.
If she could see some clues from Yushan and others’ chess games in the past, this time, she was completely confused.
"Let's start." Kong Yin Zi placed a piece and said softly.
This sentence was the secret code agreed upon by the two. Yushan Heren's eyes narrowed, and with one move, the situation changed drastically in an instant.
Like a raging wave, boundless and boundless, it swallowed up Kong Yinzi's chess piece in an instant.
It seems to be still Tulongwei, and its characteristics are very similar to Tulongwei, but Kong Yinzi knows that Yushan Heren's move is definitely not within the scope of Tulongwei.
Comparing the two, the Dragon Slaying Siege is much simpler because it only requires one to hide one's murderous intent, and then reverse the situation in an instant, making it impossible to defend against.
However, this kind of chess move seems to be playing with the opponent in the palm of the hand. It is no longer a question of defense or not. It is like Yushan Kazuto is playing against himself. Everything is a carefully designed performance.
The game can be as smooth as today's shogi game, or it can be thrilling, with a comeback in the end. Yushan Kazuto seems to be the director of shogi.
The spectators may not be able to see it, but as a chess player, Kong Yinzi can feel the horror more. She just can't understand the meaning of Yushan Heren's moves.
It was not until the game was over that Kong Yinzi woke up from his dream.
The game between Yushan and Ren has evolved again.
……
"Charlotte, I want a hug." Yushan and others walked into the group of lolita, and Charlotte ran up, stretching out her two little hands.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, avoiding Hinazuru's loving gaze, and gently picked her up. Charlotte happily lay on Yushan Kazuto's shoulder, like a victorious princess, with a slightly proud expression on her face.
Kong Yinzi followed behind Yushan Heren and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"Auntie Sora Ginko, you lost." Looking at Sora Ginko, Hinazuru Ai couldn't help but make a face.
"Damn brat..." Kong Yinzi cursed softly, raised his head, crossed his arms across his chest, and didn't want to pay attention to Kong Yinzi.
"Were you bored watching the game just now?" Yushan Heren asked with a smile.
The new chess strategy feels good to apply, but the game seems a bit lackluster and dull. If it weren't for the opponent Kong Yinzi, Yushan Kazuto would have yawned long ago.
Sadato Ayano and Mizukoshi Mio shook their heads. To be honest, they didn't understand the game at all. As they watched, they even started to look at the chess manual.
Shirosaki Hana lowered her head, as if she was in deep thought. She knew that there must be some deep meaning behind Yushan Kazuto's question. However, she was just a beginner in shogi and her skills were not as good as Sadato Ayano and Mizukoshi Mio, so naturally she could not understand it.
Charlotte lay on Yushan Heren's shoulder and whispered, "The Demon Lord's chess is not boring. Charlotte likes the Demon Lord playing chess the most!"
In this regard, Yushan Heren could only chuckle. Charlotte had a typical little fan girl mentality. She might not feel bored even if Yushan Heren counted beans on the live broadcast, and might even count along with them.
Only Hinazuru Ai looked at Hayama Kazuto: "I have a strange feeling, just now it was like... a game between Kazuto-sama and Kazuto-sama."
Kong Ginko looked at Hinazuru Ai with a sharp gaze. She didn't expect that she could actually see some clues.
[This... stinky brat! ]
Chapter 478 Sharing an Umbrella on a Snowy Night
"Tianyi, how do you feel about today's game?"
Moonlight Shengshi held his chin with one hand, his expression somewhat heavy.
In previous games between Yushan and others, although he admitted that he was no match for them, he had never been as shocked as he was today.
Kong Yinzi was completely led by the nose, and every step she took was at the position preset by Yushan Heren.
Moreover, if it weren't for the final showdown between Yushan and others, he wouldn't even have discovered the trap set by Yushan and others.
Just looking at the chess board, Yushan Heren actually had many ways to win, but he chose the most brutal one.
This is not in line with Yushan Heren's chess playing habits. Moonlight Shengshi can only think that Yushan Heren is deliberately revealing his cards to Kong Yinzi to help her understand the game.
"But... a terrible chess player."
Yaksha Shen Tianyi's voice trembled a little.
Why are there such chess players? Why can they calculate all the moves to an exact degree? It is impossible to understand, think about, or even review the game.
Yushan Kazuto was like the master of shogi, wielding his methods at will and playing with his opponent in the palm of his hand.
Yakshashin Tianyi simulated the scene of herself playing against Yushan Heren in her mind. She could only see a dark and one-sided situation. She seemed like a puppet, being toyed with at will by the opponent.
"It's great that you can see this." Moonlight Shengshi sighed and said.
Yakshashin Tianyi did not say anything. She was of course aware that her chess skills were not weak. In fact, due to her long-term study of Yushan Heren's chess records, she had already reached the level of a professional chess player. Her vision was no less than that of professional chess players.
But how could she be complacent after seeing the real mountains?
"You said before that your grandfather didn't approve of you taking Yushan Heren as your master?" Moonlight Shengshi asked.
"Grandpa didn't say it explicitly, but I know that's what he meant." Yaksha Shen Tianyi said a little disappointed.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to understand some of Yushan Kazuto's chess skills just by his own efforts and research. However, after watching today's game, Yakshashin Tianyi no longer had such naive ideas.
In other words, Yushan Kazuto undermined Yashashin Teni's self-confidence.
She found it hard to imagine why such a chess player existed in the world.
"It would be a pity if your grandfather didn't agree." Moonlight Shengshi sighed.
Yakshashen Tianyi lowered his head and did not answer.
She knew that if she insisted, Yaksha God Hongtian would not stop her, but she did not want to make things difficult for Yaksha God Hongtian.
“However, even if your grandfather agrees, you may not be able to become his disciple.” Moonlight Shengshi suddenly smiled, with a self-deprecating tone.
Yashashen Tianyi blinked: "Yushan Heren doesn't want to accept a disciple?"
"From the information I received, it is true." Moonlight Shengshi nodded.
"After all, he is still just a 16-year-old high school student. Although he has mastered the art of shogi, he may not have any intention of furthering his career in the shogi world."
"He... he is so good at playing chess, but is he just... for fun?" Yakshashen Tianyi said word by word, with a hint of unwillingness in his words, as if his teeth were about to be chewed off.
“Although I don’t want to admit it, this seems to be the case.” Moonlight Holy City said slowly.
Yashashin Tianyi reopened the scene of Yushan playing chess with others and began to study it again.
……
"Hey, it's snowing." When we drove back to the apartment, snowflakes were already falling from the sky.
Along with the snowflakes comes a sudden drop in temperature. It was still more than ten degrees Celsius during the day, but now it is below zero.
[No wonder Ueno Zoo was preparing to hold a performance of pandas making snowmen this weekend. Sure enough, it snowed tonight. 】
Shirasaki Hana and Hinazuru Ai ran into the apartment first, while Hayama Kazuto stood beside the car, looking at Sora Ginko who was standing blankly in the snow, looking up at the snowflakes.
"Yin Zi, are you cold?" Yu Shan and others walked over.
Kong Yinzi held the umbrella and shook her head. Although her body was a little weak, she had protected herself well and had taken measures to keep warm.
"Please wait in the apartment for a while. I'll take the two little ones home and then take you back." Yushan Heren said.
Kong Yinzi felt a little tired tonight. Playing chess with Yushanheren was a double drain on her physical and mental strength. She didn't plan to go to Yushanheren again.
Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren and said, "No, I can go back by myself."
"It's so dark and snowing, I'm worried." Yushan Heren smiled.
Kong Yinzi blinked and said, "Then send Xiaohua and that kid back quickly."
……
"Aren't you going to hold an umbrella?" Yushan Heren suddenly asked while walking on the road.
"It's night time now, no need."
Although Kong Yinzi often carries an umbrella with her when she goes out, most of the time, she uses her umbrella to block the sun. There is no sun at night, so there is naturally no need to hold an umbrella.
"It's snowing." Yushan Heren said.
Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren and said, "It's not snowing heavily."
The snowflakes fell on Kong Yinzi's silver hair, as if they had become hair accessories decorating her hair, blending in very cleverly and naturally.
"But don't you think it's very poetic to hold an umbrella and walk slowly on a snowy night?" Yushan Heren said with a smile.
Kong Yinzi gave Yushan Heren a cold look and handed the umbrella to Yushan Heren.
“I want
Umbrella?" Yushan Kazuto was a little surprised.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Kong Yinzi said unhappily.
She still remembered that time when she accompanied Yushan Kazuto to the convenience store, Yushan Kazuto said that her umbrella beads almost poked her eyes.
"Don't worry, you can't poke my eyes now." Yushan Kazuto also recalled the reason and couldn't help laughing.
Compared to that time, Yushan Heren has grown several centimeters taller, while Kong Yinzi has not grown much. Now, the umbrella beads can only poke Yushan Heren's cheekbones at most.
"You!" Kong Yinzi stepped on the ground with her little feet, snowflakes flew up, and a lovely footprint was left behind.
"Hold an umbrella when I tell you to!"
Yushan Kazuto obediently opened the umbrella, but it was a little small and could not cover the two of them.
"Use a bigger umbrella next time." Yushan Heren said with a pout.
Kong Yinzi looked at Yushanheren coldly. Why didn’t she realize that Yushanheren had so many problems before?
"Big umbrellas are heavier." Kong Yinzi said coldly.
"Then when I have the chance, I'll give you a carbon fiber umbrella." Yushan Heren said with a smile.
Carbon fiber is known for its strength and lightness. If carbon fiber is used to make the ribs of an umbrella, even if the umbrella is twice as big, it will not be too heavy.
"But if we change to a bigger umbrella, won't it be a bit too long?" Yushan Kazuto said worriedly.
"Shut up!" Kong Yinzi couldn't help but say.
Looking at Kong Ginko's expression, Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile.
"Yin Zi, don't be angry. Being angry is bad for your health."
Kong Yinzi gritted her teeth and said nothing.
