Chapter 125: Chen Anxia VS Morishita 9th Dan
With the passage of time, more and more people have seen the game records of the game between Toya Ryo and Zama Throne.
Everyone was surprised and moved that Ryo Taya was able to play against Throne Zama to this point. Ryo Taya deserved to be Ryo Taya, even though black had an eleven-purpose advantage from the beginning.
Because of this, people are very curious about this game between Chen Anxia, who is known as the strongest first dan in history, and Morishita Kudan, who is a top chess player.
There are six top chess players recognized in Japan. Ranked according to strength, they are Toya Meijin, Honinbo Kuwahara, Ogata Seiji, Zama Throne, Ichiryu Chess Master, and finally Morishita Kudan.
Of course, there are many candidates for top chess players, so I won’t list them one by one here.
Yiliu Chess Master has recently been in a state of semi-disappearance. He is the holder of the title of Chess Master. It is said that he has recently become obsessed with online Go, but the specific situation is unknown.
Among the six top chess players, Morishita Kudan's strength is at the bottom.
However, although Morishita's nine-dan strength is at the bottom among top chess players, top chess players are top chess players, and the level of strength lies there, which cannot be changed.
And Chen Anxia's strength has always been a mystery. Some people say that Chen Anxia's strength is close to that of top chess players, but no one can be sure of this.
One thing everyone can be sure of is that Chen Anxia is stronger than Taya Ryo.
The reason why many people are looking forward to this new first-tier league is that they want to see what level Chen Anxia's chess skills have reached through this game.
Everyone believed that Chen Anxia would definitely show his full strength against the top chess players.
Before the beginning of the new league, people rushed to a lounge specially prepared by the Chess Academy for today's game.
This lounge is larger than the previous one and can accommodate more people, because the Chess Academy has long expected that many people will come.
As for Toya Meiren, Ogata Seiji, Honinbo Kuwahara, and Zama Throne, they all came and were arranged in a separate lounge.
Following these top players were Ryo Toya, Tomoya Nakamura, and Kenta Maekawa. As for Mitsukazu Shinto and Yoshitaka Gu, they all went to another large lounge to watch the real-time broadcast.
At this time, Chen Anxia and Morishita Kudan also came to the gate of the chess academy to accept interviews from the news media.
"May I ask Chen Anxia, what do you think of this game?" A reporter asked
"No one can tell clearly about the chess game, but I will do my best~" Chen Anxia said perfunctorily
Morishita Jiudan on the side heard Chen Anxia's words, his heart tightened and his face was a little stiff, because what Chen Anxia said meant that it was not certain who would win.
But that's true, with Chen Anxia's strength as a professional chess player, and the fact that he has to be close to his eyes in today's game, this game is really hanging.
"Morishita Kudan, what do you think of this game?" The reporter saw that Chen Anxia had no breakthrough here, so he asked Morishita Kudan instead.
"I dare say, this will be a wonderful match~" Morishita Kudan was clearly an old fritter, and responded very tactfully.
Of course, the reporter was not satisfied with such an answer, and wanted to continue asking, but because the time to enter the venue was approaching, the interview had to be interrupted.
After the reporter's interview, Chen Anxia and Morishita Jiudan walked into the Yugen Room, and Morishita Jiudan naturally needless to say, the pressure in the Youxuan Room had no effect on Morishita Jiudan at all.
The same applies to Chen Anxia.
The scene where Morishita Kudan and Chen Anxia appeared between Youxuan was seen by the chess players who were watching the real-time broadcast. They couldn't help being shocked, and everyone was waiting for the start of the game.
The referee on the side is checking and confirming some procedures.
And Chen Anxia sat very quietly in the seat the whole time,
Slightly closing his eyes, his face was full of Gujing Wubo's expression.
Morishita Kudan's gaze would always be attracted to Chen Anxia involuntarily. Seeing Chen Anxia's calm face, for some reason, Morishita Jiudan, who had experienced many battles, felt nervous in his heart.
That's right, it's the tension. This kind of tension made Morishita Kudan couldn't help being surprised, because this feeling only appeared when facing the same top chess players.
But soon, Morishita Kudan began to adjust his mentality, trying to get himself into an ethereal state, thinking about nothing and focusing on the game.
"Morishita Kudan's heart is disturbed~" Zama Throne watched this scene and said silently
"It's normal. If it were us, we might be upset, after all..." Honinbo Kuwahara stopped talking.
Because all the top chess players present here know what Honinbo Kuwahara is talking about, which is Chen Anxia's almost unsolvable chess theory called control.
Seeing this, Toya Ryo, Nakamura Tomoya and Maekawa Kenta couldn't help showing puzzled expressions on their faces, not understanding what these top chess players were trying to trick.
At this time, under the gaze of everyone, the referee looked at the time and announced, "The time is up, the game starts now, the rookie player goes first, the handicap is the handicap, and the time is limited..."
"That~" Chen Anxia suddenly said when the referee was speaking.
I saw Chen Anxia slowly opened his eyes, looked at the referee and said, "Can we just follow the normal rules of the game, both sides guess first, and the side holding the black chess has five eyes and a half~"
Wow! !
Chen Anxia's words instantly stirred up the chess players who were watching the game, and shock and disbelief flashed across everyone's faces.
Because Chen Anxia's request was unprecedented. In the past, all new chess players wished for a little more favorable conditions for themselves. There has never been one like Chen Anxia who actively asked for an equal game.
This can be considered as a precedent for Chen Anxia, but is this behavior of Chen Anxia arrogant? Or do you have absolute confidence in your own strength?
Not only these ordinary chess players, but even Toya Meijin, Ogata Seiji, Honinbo Kuwahara and Zama Throne couldn't help showing a look of surprise on their faces.
Not to mention Toya Ryo, Nakamura Tomoya and Maekawa Kenta.
After hearing Chen Anxia's words, the referee was stunned for a few seconds, then came back to his senses, and involuntarily turned his questioning gaze to Morishita Kudan, and said hesitantly, "This..."
Because what Chen Anxia said was a little overconfident in his own strength, and he also looked down on Morishita Jiudan, thinking that if Morishita Jiudan gave up, he would definitely lose.
You must know that Chen Anxia is still a new chess player who has just passed the professional examination, and Morishita Kudan is a veteran top chess player. I don't know if Chen Anxia's words will anger Morishita Kudan.
After Morishita Jiudan heard Chen Anxia's request, not only was he not angry, he didn't know why, but he felt a sense of relief, and he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay, just follow the normal rules of the game~"
The referee saw that Morishita Kyudan had no objections, so he naturally had no objections, and immediately announced, "The game has officially started, both sides guess first, and the side holding the black chess sticks to five and a half eyes, and the time limit is two and a half hours~"
