Years of studying routines have allowed Daiji Yamate to develop muscle memory, and he can no longer go back to the time when he played chess based on intuition and faith.
Although he is trying hard to correct himself now, he seems a little out of place.
The brain is struggling, the thoughts are constantly denying themselves, and the situation on the chessboard is becoming more and more chaotic.
Daiji Yamate was already old, and his brain's computing power was somewhat insufficient. He was constantly thinking about his past in his mind, which made it even more difficult for his already rusty brain to function.
Yamate Daiji kept breathing heavily, like a devil from hell, which made Shirasaki Hana a little scared.
Hinazuru Ai was not surprised by this. Although she had never seen Yamate Daiji like this, she had seen many similar situations.
Although the chessboard was chaotic, in Yushan Heren's eyes, it was very simple, even to the point that it seemed a little too simple.
In the 29th move, Hayama Kazuto used his king move, and Yamate Daiji had no way to escape and had to resign and admit defeat.
Yushan Heren stood up. The game ended much faster than he had imagined. The most important thing was that the opponent did not seem to have a fixed way of playing, but was not as omnipotent as himself who could piece together various tactics at will.
"Master, I would like to ask, what do you think of my chess?"
Yushan Heren blinked, not knowing how to comment. Anyway, after this game of chess, he couldn't say a single word of compliment.
Chapter 642: Flying over the Beach
Yushan Kazuto was a little hesitant. To be honest, he didn't know how to comment.
"How should I put it? I felt that you were a little confused when you were playing chess. No, I should say you were hesitant. It was as if your cognition, your thoughts, and your subconscious reactions collided with each other, and you didn't know how to choose."
Yushan Kazuto tried his best to make the speech more professional, and indeed managed to confuse Yamate Daiji. He kept nodding his head, looking as if saying "Master, you are right" and "Master, I understand".
Yushan Kazuto originally just wanted to say a few words casually, but seeing Yamate Daiji's expression, he had no choice but to continue making up stories.
"When it comes to playing chess, hesitating is a big taboo. The reason you behave like this is because you are confused!"
"As the saying goes, the mind is restless, which means that the human mind is like a monkey, and it is difficult to calm down. However, in the game of shogi, a calm mind is most needed."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that some chess players get startled and startled when playing chess, as if they are very emotional. But in fact, their hearts are as calm as still water. There is no conflict between their external appearance and their inner peace."
"Although you look very calm, in fact, your heart has long been in turmoil. If you have a heart disease, I would suggest you see a doctor."
Yamate Daiji quickly shook his head. Although he looked thin and weak, he had never been sick in his life and had an enviable health status.
"So, a chess player should tame his own mind. If there is a monkey in his heart, then just trap it. Have you read Journey to the West?"
Probably few of the younger generation of Japanese have watched "Journey to the West", and those who have watched it usually watched the modified version. However, there are quite a few people of the older generation who have watched "Journey to the West", otherwise Akira Toriyama would not have named the protagonist of "Dragon Ball" Son Wukong.
"I've seen it." Yamate Daiji nodded.
"Then you should know what the Tightening Curse is. In fact, when projected onto a person, the Tightening Curse does not really mean a golden hoop on the head. Instead, it means that you have to control your heart."
"Whether it's arrogance, self-indulgence, or self-doubt, self-denial is not desirable. You need to control these emotions, otherwise they will disturb your heart."
"I see that your cooking skills are pretty good. You should have found your own style. What were you thinking about while you were practicing cooking?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"I just... want to make the food taste better." Yamate Daiji hesitated for a moment, then said resolutely.
"Well, it's the same with shogi. When playing shogi, all you have to do is think about how to win." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Whether it's the style of playing chess or the number of moves, these are not what you should consider. Of course, if you are sure that you have a 70% to 80% chance of winning, it would be nice to indulge your mind a little and relieve your inner pressure."
Yamate Daiji's eyes were a little dazed, and he was obviously lost in thought. Yushan Kazuto also stopped talking and took a sip of tea. It must have been tiring to say so many misleading words in one breath.
What Hayama and others said were all great principles, but they were actually somewhat hollow and simply echoed Yamate Daiji's own mental state.
On the other hand, Shirasaki Hana and Hinazuru Ai, who were standing by, felt their heads buzzing. They had no idea what Yushan and the others were saying, but they just felt that he seemed very powerful.
It took a long time for Yamate Daiji to come back to his senses. He realized his mistakes. He had done it wrong in the past and just now.
His biggest mistake was thinking too much. If he hadn't thought too much, denied himself too much, and doubted himself too much, his heart wouldn't have been so restless.
Winning and losing on the chessboard is a common occurrence, but after so many years in the shogi world, he still hasn't figured this out.
If you want to achieve great things in shogi, there is only one thing you need: sincerity.
The desire to win and the desire to win the game are the driving force to continuously climb to the top of shogi.
Of course, in this climbing process, you also need the chains of talent to help you leverage and move forward.
"Thank you, Demon Lord." Yamate Daiji said with a trembling voice.
Although he seemed to be in poor condition and was much worse than before when playing chess, the hesitation in his eyes had disappeared.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and thought to himself that he was just making up something, but he didn't expect that Yamate Daiji actually figured out something.
"You're welcome. Since you've figured it out, we'll leave first."
"Wait a moment." Yamate Daiji asked, "Are you guys still staying at Hinazuru Hotel tonight?"
"Well, we won't leave until tomorrow afternoon." Yushan Heren said.
"Okay, I understand." Yamate Daiji nodded, as if he had made a decision.
Yushan and others blinked and asked, "Why are all people like riddlers nowadays? You asked me when I will leave, so why don't you at least tell me what you want to do?"
"Xiaohua, Xiaoai, let's go."
Since Yamate Daiji had already waived the bill, Hayama Kazuto did not pay either. This was what he earned by playing a game of chess. In the Ryuo tournament, his winning fee for a game was 200,000 yen.
……
"Brother Kazuto, what did you say to Grandpa Yamate? This is the first time I've seen Grandpa Yamate look so smart." Hinazuru Ai asked while sitting in the car.
"It was just a casual chat, nothing much."
If you ask Yushan Kazuto to explain it himself, he can't say it. Should he tell Hinazuru Ai that he fooled an old man? Wouldn't he become a senior citizen fraudster?
Yushan Kazuto finally understood why there was such a thing against the elderly.
The main reason for people's fraudulent advertisements is that old men and women are easy to fool!
"Is that so?" Hinazuru Ai looked unconvinced. She felt that Hayama Kazuto must have exchanged some shogi secrets with Yamate Daiji, but was unwilling to tell her.
Yushan Heren shrugged, and a beach appeared in front of him.
"Turn off the stove." Yushan Kazuto said suddenly.
Shirasaki Hana and Hinazuru Ai didn't know why Hayama Kazuto wanted to turn off the stove, but they did it anyway.
"Sit tight!"
The golf cart rushed into the beach, and there was a sudden violent bump.
Shirosaki Hana and Hinazuru Ai were frightened, but recovered quickly.
Although the golf cart was open to the wind on all sides, there were still guardrails for leverage. The cart jumped on the beach, and the movement of the cart was accompanied by the silvery laughter of two girls.
"Okay, it's fun!"
"Kazuto-nii, the sand hit my face!"
After all, this golf cart is an all-terrain vehicle and can run easily on the beach, but it is not an amphibious all-terrain vehicle and cannot go into the sea.
Yushan and others drove their car freely on the beach. There was no one on the beach. The whole beach was his territory!
Chapter 643 Nanao Ice Rink
Nanao Ice Rink.
After having lunch at Hinazuru Ryokan, Kirisu Madoka wanted to go out for a walk.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't think of any fun places.
The Hecang area is suitable for rest and strolling, but not for purposeful travel.
The golf course on Noto Island is nice, but golf is not suitable for playing alone.
Other people go to play golf to brag, to talk business, and to give advice, but Kirisu Mafuyu goes to the golf course alone and just plays there foolishly. Doesn't that seem like too much "true love"?
After all, golf has more social attributes than sport attributes. It's nice for a few friends or business partners to get together to play a game, sweat a little and relax.
But it would be a bit difficult for Kirisu Madoka to play golf alone with a group of strangers.
Wandering around, she came to the Nanao Skating Rink, which she had not visited on her last trip.
The owner of the Nanao Ice Rink was also a figure skater. When she learned that Kirisu Mafuyu had come to Wakura, she wanted to invite Kirisu Mafuyu to perform at her skating rink.
Although the other party promised that as long as Kirisu Mafuyu agreed to perform at the Nanao Skating Rink, she would cover all of Kirisu Mafuyu's expenses in Wakura.
In other words, even if Kirisu Mafuyu extends the original two-day free trip to ten days, it will be taken care of by the Nanao Ice Rink, and Kirisu Mafuyu does not need to spend a penny.
However, at that time, Kirisu Madoka just wanted to rest in peace, so she declined the offer, and therefore, she had no chance to enter the Nanao Ice Rink.
But today, while strolling around, for some unknown reason, Kirisu Madoka came to the Nanao Skating Rink, which she had not entered before.
Kirisu Madoka originally wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn't control her steps. She climbed the stairs and gradually walked into the Nanao Ice Rink.
The Nanao Ice Rink is not small in size, but business is a bit slow.
But it's normal. It's winter now and it's cold enough outside. Who would come to the ice rink to experience the coldness under the ice?
Besides, facilities like ice rinks are usually visited by locals, but it is winter now, and with a ski resort nearby, the ice rink is definitely out of competition.
It's so hard to open a ski resort in winter, who would come to your ice rink?
There were only a few people in the huge ice rink, but the temperature was not high anyway, so the ice rink did not require much electricity for cooling.
Unlike in the summer, a huge amount of electricity is consumed just to keep the ice on the ice rink from melting.
"Excuse me, sir, are you a guest?"
The staff at the counter asked.
"Yes, one." Kirisu Madoka nodded.
"It's 1,000 yen per person, including the use of skates."
Kirisu Madoka took out her wallet. The price of one thousand yen was reasonable. After handing the money to the front desk, Kirisu Madoka suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something.
"Excuse me, I would like to ask, how long can I use this 1,000 yen skating fee for?"
"As long as you leave before the skating rink closes, there is no time limit otherwise." said the receptionist with a smile.
Kirisu Madoka blinked. If one thousand yen an hour was the normal price, then one thousand yen for free sliding was definitely a very favorable price.
"It's winter now, so there are fewer people skating. The lady boss said it's empty anyway, and the maintenance costs won't go down much, so we'll just charge 1,000 yen for it."
The receptionist seemed to have the ability to read minds and saw through Kirisu Madoka's thoughts, and said with a smile.
Kirisu Madoka couldn't help but blink and walked towards the ice skate area.
The ice skates looked very new, probably equipment that had just been replaced not long ago. Kirisu Madoka breathed a sigh of relief. At least they were not the kind of ice skates that could be smelled with the eyes.
Nanao Skating Rink also takes good care of ice skates. Every pair of skates will be disinfected and cleaned after being used by customers.
Although it is impossible to ensure that every guest wears the most satisfactory ice skates, Nanao Skating Rink has done its best.
Kirisu Madoka put on the ice skates, which had good wrapping and were very light, feeling somewhat similar to the ice skates she originally wore.
After trying a few times to get a feel for it, Kirisu Madoka began to slide in a relaxed manner.
She was a little clumsy at the beginning and almost fell several times, but after all, Kirisu Mafuyu had many years of skating experience, so she quickly regained her original feeling. Kirisu Mafuyu's movements became bolder and her speed became faster and faster.
The fastest speed of a skater can reach 55 kilometers per hour, and without considering fatigue, the average speed can reach 50 kilometers per hour.
Kirisu Madoka naturally couldn't reach this speed now, but it was still 45 kilometers per hour. The huge ice surface would be turned around by her in just a few seconds.
Her movements were light yet heroic. Although there were not many people in the skating rink, Kirisu Mafuyu still became the focus of everyone's attention.
Kirisu Madoka didn't care about the stares. After all, when she was a figure skater, she had even performed in front of thousands of people.
Although he later retired from the skating world and became a teacher, teaching is still a respected profession.
As long as she stands on the podium, she has to face the gazes of the students below. Madoka Kirisu is no longer surprised by these stares.
Now, she is only focusing on her skating.
【有
I can’t do some movements because my body is too stiff. 】
After a short warm-up, Kirisu Madoka has found her problem. Although she can still skate, she is still a little short of dancing on the ice as she used to.'
But even if she can't perform those difficult moves, Kirisu Madoka's moves are already surprising enough.
As expected, he was once a national champion. If he had not retired early and left the skating world, he could have even won an Olympic gold medal.
