Chapter Eighty-Three: The More You Fight, the Braver You Become
A bar in Ginza, Tokyo. Japanese amateur Four Heavenly Kings.
"What a shame that game just now. But that move is really beautiful, and the young man's endurance is so strong, you say, when did he find that move? By the way, what did Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki mean when he left? ”
The one who spoke was the eldest of the Four Heavenly Kings, the honest man Nakakuen Qingsan.
After the match, there was only a brief replay as it was going to continue on the second day. Unless this kind of chess is analyzed by expansion, there is really nothing to review. Everyone is even more like expressing their feelings after the game. It's more focused on the admiration of the officer's skillful hand. Of course, this trick is not very difficult in terms of technique, the key is its concealment. If you do it alone as an official question, you can do it with a little time at the level of Umezawa.
Of course, most of the praise came more from the mouths of Japanese personnel. Masaki Takemiya shouted even more, with an exaggerated expression, as if Li Xiaoqiang had some earth-shattering magic hand.
Of course, the Chinese personnel are much more reserved. That's for sure, if we Chinese hear who is praising their own children. Although the heart is beautiful, of course, you must be polite on the surface. Coach Luo even laughed and "reprimanded" Li Xiaoqiang for being too cunning, and he would be clever.
After a brief review, the personnel of both sides politely said goodbye. Li Xiaoqiang honestly went back to the station to rest.
The Japanese personnel also left in several groups. Fujisawa Hideyuki and Masaki Takemiya are of course counted as a group, and the amateur Four Heavenly Kings are also counted as a group. Others should do what they want. Before leaving, Fujisawa Hideyuki pulled Imamura Civilization:
"Imamura, didn't I tell you? In the face of this child, we must have a spirit of 12 points. Even when you reach the worst, you can't just give in like this. If you still have such an attitude, there is no need for me to continue the game, just admit defeat directly! ”
"Hey, Imamura has been taught!"
Hideyuki Fujisawa patted Imamura on the shoulder:
"I think you have a bottom in your heart now, originally I thought that your match with that boy should be 5, 5. Now it seems like you're going to have a better chance of winning, well, at least 51-49. You know what I mean? ”
"I think I kind of understand what the gentleman means, but I think so too."
Fujisawa Hideyuki nodded in satisfaction, and then nodded with the others. I found a place to learn from Masaki Takemiya and communicated.
It was 6 p.m. after the game was played, and it was not yet 8 p.m. after the rematch. The '80s were a boom time for Japan's economy. The dangers of the Plaza Accord will not be realized for a few years. Go players have a good position in Japan, including amateur Shitenwang. Rich and status, plus Japanese men have a good habit of clubbing, the time is just right. If you don't go to Ginza to play, you're sorry for yourself, and if you don't want to go, you're embarrassed to refuse.
The person who doesn't want to go is our honest man Nakazono Seizo. In fact, as soon as the game ended, he was anxious for Imamura Wenming. If he was replaced, he must have been depressed when such a good game of chess was reversed, and he felt that he had been forced to the edge of the cliff. I must go home early to rest, so that I can recharge my energy or something. There was definitely no concern about drinking flower wine, and he didn't understand what Fujisawa Hideyuki said. However, I was embarrassed to ask in person when I saw other people's "taken for granted" looks.
The group came to the bar, and everyone else was talking and laughing. Imamura Wenming, who lost the chess, gave full play to his potential of smart and humor, and made the two women sitting at the bar laugh "Gege". Nakazono Kiyozo is depressed and anxious. Seeing that Hiroshi Hirata, who is usually reliable, also changed his usual coldness and became enthusiastic. Nakazono Kiyozo finally couldn't help it and wanted to lead the topic to the game of chess just now, so he had the question at the beginning of the article.
The others didn't rush to answer him, and Imamura Wenming even suddenly turned the finger on Seizo Nakazono. caused the two barmaids to pour several glasses of wine from Nakazono Qingsan. Although these four are amateur chess players, most of their work is related to Go. For example, Yashiro Kikuchi opened a well-known Go school, "Green Star Chess Garden", and also trained Keigo Yamashita, one of the "Heisei Four Heavenly Kings" of Japanese Go in later generations, and several others either worked in large companies as Go coaches or "cultural consultants". The nature of this "cultural adviser" of theirs is somewhat similar to that of the trade unions in our country. Because the image of Go is good, it has a high status in Japan. Therefore, it is quite face-saving to be a "cultural consultant" in a large enterprise.
Of the four people, only Imamura is civilized, and his work has nothing to do with Go. That's why he's an "amateur" chess player in the truest sense of the word. is such a person, and he can become the boss of the amateur Four Heavenly Kings, which shows that he must have his own uniqueness.
When Seiso Nakazono was about to go berserk, Yasuro Kikuchi spoke:
"Hehe, it seems that if you don't make it clear to Qingsan, you won't be able to drink today's wine."
Imamura civilization to Hirata Hirosenunu mouth:
"Explain."
Nakazono Kiyozo turned his gaze to Hirata Hironori suspiciously, not understanding at all why this person suddenly "changed" without knowing what kind of stimulation Lu Dao had received.
Hirata Hiroshi said with a smile to Kiyozo Nakazono:
"Qingsan, don't be in a hurry, don't get excited. We all know that if you care, you will be confused. Let me start by talking about my own feelings right now. ”
"How do you feel?"
"Let me ask you first? We've also fought that Chinese boy now. He's very powerful and very difficult to deal with. What do you think is the most difficult thing for that Chinese teenager to deal with? ”
"Well, his layout...... His mid-game seems to be ...... And his officials......"
"Stop, stop, I know that you will think about these specific Go techniques. In fact, the most powerful thing about this Chinese teenager lies in his mystery! Kiyozo: Do you think that's the case? Imamura's game of chess today can be said to have completely unveiled the mystery of this teenager! What level of his Go level is, I think Imamura has a complete bottom. Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki is also very clear, so he will remind Imamura. Seeing that Imamura understood, he didn't say much. ”
Hiroshi Hirata's eyes slowly glowed:
"Needless to say, Imamura, even I was eager to fight that Chinese boy right away, and I'm now confident that I can beat him!"
Before Kiyozo Nakazono could react, Yasuro Kikuchi said:
"I vouch for my decades of teaching Go, and I bet on winning the game. In fact, now that I think about it, the current situation is completely a series of accidents, first of all, his strength is underestimated. After the first set, we were a little scared because we didn't understand the situation. By the time you lost the second set, we had mental pressure again. So all the negative factors are on our side. Fortunately, in the third set, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and the Chinese teenager suddenly didn't play at all, which gave us a buffer. This game of chess Imamura again with great courage. completely unveiled the mystery of that Chinese teenager......"
At this time, Imamura Wenming smiled and grinned:
"Hehe, in fact, I was ready to lose at the beginning of this game, and I am very satisfied with being able to play like this, of course, there is still a little regret."
Hiroshi Hirata's excitement doesn't seem to have completely calmed down:
"This is what I admire most about Imamura, and several of us know that Imamura is not good at this kind of kung fu chess. He did it just to see his opponent clearly, Ha Luha, we have all learned Imamura's methods, and I really want to see that Chinese boy suffer now. ”
"Haha......"
Seizo Nakazono recalls the losses he suffered at the hands of Imamura. Finally let go.
Imamura Wenming pressed it with his hand, with a serious expression:
"I would like to add that, apart from these specific things, I was in the mood to play this trilogy with my back to the water. What about a clever hand, and what about losing the first set? I've completely left everything behind. I'm ready to fight to the end! ”
The words made everyone look excited.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Come on, come on, I have to play tomorrow, and I can't drink too much wine,...... Come on, Qingsan, drink three glasses in a row with this young lady,...... Wrong...... How can you count like this......"
Will this really be the case?
