Day - The game began to decline, and the landmark event of the rise of Korean Go should be the first Ying's Cup championship won by South Korea's Cho Hoon-hyun in '89. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since then, Korean players have become active in major world-class Go tournaments.

In 1992, South Korea's Lee Chang-ho won the Toyo Securities Cup, becoming the youngest Go world champion.

In 1993, the Fujitsu Cup fell to South Korea's Yoo Chang-hyuk, and the second Ying's Cup was won by South Korea's Seo Bong-so

In 1994, South Korea's Cho Hoon-hyun won the 7th Fujitsu Cup, becoming the world's first person to sweep all the world championships.

In 1995, Chinese chess player Ma Xiaochun won the 6th Toyo Securities Cup, becoming China's first Go world champion, and in August of the same year, he won the 8th Fujitsu Cup.

Many of these world-class professional Go tournaments are hosted and sponsored by the Japanese themselves, so the question is, after 92 years, where are the Japanese players?

Why is there no name among the champions? This is a sad fact for the Go community in the island country.

By the present day of '98, the glory of the Sixth Super League is long gone, and the Japanese-Ben Go has fallen to the dust, and "no successor" seems to be a certainty.

And with the decline of the players, the management of the Japanese chess institute also began to have problems, and since 94 it began to have a poor management situation, financial deficits year after year, and this state will continue until 02.

Losses are already the norm in Japan, of course, this does not mean that it is poor, in fact it is quite rich.

Because there are as many as 28 tournaments hosted by the Japan Chess Academy, according to the tournament fund practice of the Chess Academy's commission of 30%, the annual income of the Japan Chess Academy alone is already a huge amount.

In addition, some well-known enterprises will sponsor the chess academy every year...... Actually, the income is not bad.

However, it is also a fact that the management is not good, and from the perspective of time, almost at the same time as the Japanese Go went downhill, there were also problems in the management of the Japanese Chess Academy, which cannot but make people reminisce.

Even now, there are occasional rumors that the Chess Academy will go bankrupt due to poor management.

If it is a financial crisis, the Chinese Chess Academy has no such worries.

The biggest difference with the Japanese and Korean Chess Academy is that the Chinese Chess Academy is a government agency, while the Japanese and Korean Chess Academy is an independent foundation, which determines that the Chinese Chess Academy is unlikely to have a financial crisis like the Japanese Chess Academy.

Although there are business problems in Japan, this has nothing to do with Miyahara Jing, he didn't come to the chess academy to sponsor the chess academy, let alone pick sponsorship from the chess academy, in fact, the purpose is very simple, just to find a professional chess player for the chess soul to do part-time training and guidance.

Although the general reader does not need to understand the game, as a Go manga, it needs to be aimed at many people, and of course there must be no mistakes on the board, which is difficult to do with the original work.

In principle, this kind of thing is fine as long as the player agrees personally, but Miyahara felt that it would be better to be as disciplined as possible, so she asked for the consent of the Japanese Chess Academy before contacting the chess player individually.

It's just that I didn't expect the other party to attach great importance to this matter, so there was this meeting.

Considering that the other party dispatched heavyweights, in order to be "equal", Miyahara Jing also came over in person.

According to the previous thoughts, Miyahara Jing felt that at this time, the other party might not be able to understand what kind of publicity effect the manga and animation of the chess soul would have, and it would be good to have an attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect the other party to just give it a try.

In the Japan Chess Academy, Miyahara Shizune directly took Ken Obata and Yumi Hotta to meet Fumio Watanabe, the chairman of the Japan Chess Academy.

"President Miyahara, I've read your letter before, and as the chairman of the Japan Chess Academy, I'd also like to see works that depict the general, popular, and popular aspects of Go events...... To be honest, I'm looking forward to it personally, I've read the original manuscripts of the two teachers, although it's very limited, I don't usually read comics, but I have to say, it's a very wonderful story......"

"Personally, I would like to express my gratitude to the two of them for creating such a story."

After briefly introducing himself, Fumio Watanabe spoke first.

Go seems to be quite niche and high-end, and professional chess players often have activities to play against and guide the senior management of certain enterprises, so the Japanese chess academy is actually very influential in some places, and the social relations are relatively complicated.

And Watanabe, as the chairman of the board, is willing to speak like this, which is indeed enough to flatter people.

Yumi Hotta looked a little restrained, obviously making her a little uncomfortable with such an occasion, and as for Ken Ohata, she had a serious face.

Miyahara muttered to himself in his heart, you will not be the chairman of the board of directors next year, he has already learned a little, and the financial problems of the Japanese chess academy are indeed a big problem.

I have the impression that there have indeed been many chairmen for such reasons.

However, with a smile on his face, he continued: "Go is more niche, but comics can bring universal awareness to everyone, especially for teenagers, so I think the combination of the two is a good thing......

Because it was expected that such an exchange would take place, Miyahara Jing had made up for things in Go before, and if he talked about something more in-depth, he probably wouldn't be able to talk about anything, but on the surface, he was able to catch it.

So Shizun Miyahara and the chairman of the board of directors talked nonsense about the glorious past of Japan-Ben Go.

"The future of Japan-Ben Go is still in the teenagers, and manga is the thing that can arouse the interest of teenagers the most, so this work will definitely be able to help Japan-Ben Go......"

"At the same time, in order to create better works, we also hope to have the assistance of the chess academy." Miyahara said.

The topic seems to have gone somewhere else? Miyahara Shizune hurriedly turned back.

It's just that I want to find a professional chess player.,The chairman of the board of directors made an appointment with Miyahara Shizune because he was more interested in this matter.,As for talking about the past and the future or something?

And what Miyahara said seems to be sincere, but in fact it is empty - in fact, he is not interested in the future of Japan-Ben Go, because there will be no improvement in the Go world for about ten years, and ten years later, the world chess world will already be the world of a certain big bull who has comprehended the "hand of God".

…… It's a pity that the name of the big cow is Alpha Dog.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Chairman Watanabe agreed to this matter without much thought, and then he did not snub the two Obata and the two, but instead talked to the two manga artists about some ideas for manga creation, including how to be creative, how to develop the follow-up story, and so on.

After taking care of all aspects, he said to Miyahara Jing again, "President Miyahara, you need a chess player to supervise this work, are there any specific requirements?" ”

This kind of thing is not good to write on paper before, after all, people haven't agreed to you about it, so you put forward all kinds of requirements first, which is a bit unreasonable.

"Although Ms. Hotta, the original work of the Soul of Chess, can play Go and is considered a good player among amateur chess players, after all, it is just a hobby and a game, and in order to present the most rigorous work to readers, we really need to ask for help from the chess academy."

"As for the ...... requirements," he said, he glanced at Yumi Hotta, and then said, "Of course we trust the professionalism of professional chess players, and we don't have anything to ask for in terms of rank, but because we need to work with Ms. Hotta, we hope to limit the status of supervisors to women for the convenience of each other." ”

"A female chess player?"

"Yes, there are indeed a few chess players who are more suitable, and I will contact them personally later to ask for their opinions......"
