Chapter 123: The Beginning of the New League

"Okay, I see~" Chen Anxia hung up the phone after speaking.

It was just a call from the Chess Institute, saying that the new first-tier league has been finalized, and this time my opponent is Morishita Kudan, and the time is a week later.

Tomoya Nakamura's new first-stage league will start first, with Seiji Ogata three days later, and Ryo Taya scheduled to play Zama Throne five days later.

The arrangement of the Chess Academy seems to have the meaning that the more powerful ones are placed at the back as the finale. Of course, the news of the synchronization has also been notified to the news media.

At that time, in the new first stage of the league, there will be reporters going to shoot an interview video, because Ta Yaliang and Chen Anxia are in the lineup this time, so this is also the most active time for these news media.

The name of the room where the new first stage league games are played is between Youxuan.

There are seven major title battles in Japan. According to the importance, they are the title battle of Chess Master, the title of celebrity, the title of Honinbo, the title of Ten Dan, the title of Tianyuan, the title of Throne, and the title of Gosho.

Honinbo Kuwahara is the holder of the title of Honinbo, while Toya Meijin has the five titles of Celebrity, Gosho, Ten-Dan, Throne, and Tianyuan at the same time. As for Zama Throne, it is the former holder of the title of Throne.

The Youxuan Room is the venue specially used for these title battles, very formal and solemn.

And there are high-definition cameras installed in the room, which can broadcast the title match in real time, as well as the changes in the expressions of the two sides.

Of course, generally speaking, in addition to a dedicated referee for a title match, there will also be special people to record and explain simultaneously, and these people in charge of explaining are generally professional chess players.

The specifications of the new first-tier league are basically similar to those of the title match, except that the synchronous explanation is missing.

But this is also understandable. After all, the title match is broadcast in real time on TV, but the new league does not.

As for arranging the new first stage league to be held in Youxuan Room, it can be regarded as a kind of encouragement for the new chess players who have just passed the professional examination, encouraging them to enter here next time with their own abilities, and compete for the title.

It is also because this is a competition held to motivate newcomers, so generally speaking, top chess players will not use their full strength, and sometimes even deliberately lose the first half of the game in the end, in order to increase the confidence of new chess players.

Three days later, the new first-stage league belonging to Tomoya Nakamura began. As usual, Tomoya Nakamura and Seiji Ogata accepted interviews from the news media in front of the chess academy.

As for the content of the interview, of course, it is almost like whether they have confidence in this match.

The interview ended very smoothly, and Nakamura Tomoya and Ogata Seiji also entered Yugen's room, took their seats, and waited for the referee to announce the start of the game

Although Tomoya Nakamura's appearance looks calm, but it is undeniable that Tomoya Nakamura can't help but feel a little nervous now, after all, this is the first time Tomoya Nakamura has entered the Yugen Room.

The atmosphere in Youxuan is very solemn and heavy, far surpassing the general playing field. Here, the chess players have to cheer up all their spirits, otherwise, the solemn atmosphere alone may cause cracks in their mentality.

Therefore, even if the game hadn't started yet, even if Ogata Seiji didn't exude any aura, Nakamura Satoshi couldn't help but feel a heavy heart at this moment, as if a weight was being weighed down.

The real-time broadcast of the new first-tier league can be watched in a lounge specially arranged by the Chess Academy. Therefore, this is also a benefit for the students of the Chess Academy, who can directly watch the new first-tier league.

Of course, some professional chess players will also be present to watch. At the moment, in the waiting room, Shinto Hikari, Watani Yoshitaka, Nase Asuki, Fukui Yuta, and Maekawa Kenta, and some professional chess players are waiting for the match. start.

The referee on the side looked at the time.

Announced, "The time is up, the game starts now, the rookie player will go first, the handicap is the opposite handicap, and the time limit is two hours~"

In a normal game, the player holding the black chess should stick to the five and a half eyes at the end, but here, the professional chess player holding the white chess should stick to the five and a half eyes at the end. purpose advantage.

This is also to take care of the new chess players and increase the visibility of the game. After all, eleven items are missing from the beginning, which is not a small pressure for top chess players.

"Huh~" Satoshi Nakamura took a deep breath when he heard the words.

Then I saw Nakamura Tomoya's eyes fixed, and the aura all over his body suddenly radiated, rushing towards Ogata Seiji, but Ogata Seiji was completely unmoved by Nakamura Tomoya's aura.

"Crack~"

Nakamura Satoshi also made a move, the first move, the star position in the upper left corner.

Ogata Seiji watched Tomoya Nakamura's move, completely unmoved, and directly pinched the move.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally Nakamura Satoshi also conceded defeat, and Nakamura Satoshi still lost half of the board including the 11-moku chess.

Moreover, both Tomoya Nakamura and those who watched this game knew very well that Seiji Ogata did not use his full strength, otherwise, waiting for Tomoya Nakamura would be a disastrous defeat.

Ogata Seiji has already taken good care of Nakamura Tomoya.

Two days after the match between Nakamura Tomoya and Ogata Seiji ended, the match between Taya Ryo and Zama Throne began.

This time, the number of people who came to watch the match between Throne Zama and Ryo Taya obviously increased, so it goes without saying that Hikari Shinto, Yoshitaka Watani and others.

Maekawa Kenta, Nakamura Tomoya, and several professional chess players under Toya Celebrity came to the scene.

Like last time, they were all waiting for the game to start.

At this moment, the door was opened, and a figure walked in from the door, and said while walking, "Well, I see, thank you for leading the way~"

The sound of the door opening naturally attracted everyone's attention. When they saw the person coming, the whole lounge was in an instant commotion, and everyone's eyes were full of shock.

After seeing the person coming, Jin Tengguang rushed to the door as fast as possible, looked at the person and said excitedly, "An Xia, why are you here?"

Chen Anxia looked at the excited Hikari Jinto and said helplessly, "Shinto, your frizzy temper hasn't changed~"

As he said that, Chen Anxia walked into the lounge slowly, looked at the screen being broadcast on the screen, and said, "I'm here to confirm something~"

Chen Anxia clearly remembered that in the original book, during the first stage of the league, it was also a match between Taya Ryo and Zama Throne. At that time, Taya Ryo had already caught Zama Throne into a trap and almost lost the game.

The current Taya Ryo is definitely stronger than Taya Ryo in this time period in the original book, and not just one or two points stronger.

What Chen Anxia wanted to confirm was whether Ta Yaliang could win with the current strength, or to see if the chess strength of these top chess players had surpassed the original book.

This can be used as a reference for the next game when I play against Morishita Kudan.

It has to be said that Chen Anxia's arrival instantly made the atmosphere of the scene much heavier, and an inexplicable pressure swept the audience.

Although it was ridiculous, everyone present had an illusion. When facing Chen Anxia, ​​they had the feeling of facing a top chess player, and they couldn't help being cautious and awed in their hearts.

But soon, the heaviness and pressure disappeared, because it was destroyed by someone with rough nerves.

At this moment, Jin Tengguang was looking at Chen Anxia, ​​and said loudly dissatisfied, "Ah, Anxia, ​​what did you say to Ta Yaliang? Do you know that he came to the chess academy last time..."

Listening to Hikari Shinto's rambling words that kept coming from his ears, Chen Anxia couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional while being helpless.

"Shinto Hikari is indeed Shinto Hikari, and the familiar formula has not changed at all~"
