Chapter 154 The Hand of God

Just as Higashino Hiroshi was delusional, his cell phone rang.

He looked and saw that it was a person who had never called before, Odagiri who was mentioned by Akira Yamazaki just now.

"Teacher Higashino, long time no see."

His voice is much calmer than before, and it seems that he has matured on the professional chess player's track.

"Long time no see, Hatsudan Odagiri." Higashino responded with a smile, "Why do you have the time to call me?"

At this time, he should seize the time to study the opponent's chess.

"Teacher, you are really making fun of me," Odagiri said happily, "Actually, I have wanted to contact the teacher for a long time, but in the spring Oshouta competition, I lost to Xiaoguang Linbei third-dan chess player, so I am a little embarrassed , After all, I am a loser."

"You are already very strong." Higashino replied.

I haven't played Go for more than half a year, and I definitely can't win even a game in the Dashouhe competition.

Every professional chess player has experienced a lot.

Hard work, hard work, boredom, despair, and finally leaping to the dragon gate, became a person who uses Go to eat.

More than half a year behind, it is impossible for him to have it himself.

At that time, he was lucky enough to win the match against Odagiri in "Yugen no Zou".

But the current Odagiri is overwhelmingly powerful.

"The autumn Otaku competition is getting closer and closer, and my heart is getting more and more confused," Odagiri continued: "That's why I disturbed Mr. Higashino. If the teacher pays attention to Otaku, I will definitely be full of motivation."

Higashino raised his head and counted the time, "Of course there is no problem."

"That's really troublesome for you." Odagiri breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked again: "Is this the end of "Soul of Chess"? Will there be a follow-up, or the professional chapter?"

Higashino was taken aback for a moment, and the fox's tail was exposed.

He just said, how can a professional chess player be so psychologically fragile?It turned out to be waiting for him here.

The reader called to remind him to update, which made Higashino a little dumbfounded.

"There will be, there will be, and there will be about ten chapters of "Soul of Chess" in the future."

A story about AI 20 years later.

He traveled from the future to the present, and learned stories about Go and AI.

"That would be great, I look forward to it!"

……

A week later, the Dashouhe competition officially started.

Higashino ordered the Kiin newspaper.

When I looked at it the next morning, I saw the results of the first game on the second page.

Odagiri's first dan wins Fujikake's second dan

Xiaoguang Linbei third dan wins Lin Xianer first dan
Looking at the chess game in the newspaper, Dongye nodded repeatedly.

Odagiri's layout and mid-game play are very exciting. If you let Higashino look at it, you can't find any loopholes or turning points.

"He's really amazing." Higashino sighed.

Taking out his mobile phone, he sent a text message to Odagiri, congratulating him on his victory in the preliminary competition.

Not long after, the message came back with a big smile.

A month later, Odagiri won another four games in a row.

This little guy was a little bit flustered, and he wrote in a text message to Higashino Hibiki: "I've won too much recently, I don't know what to send."

Simply talented.

But a week later, he ushered in the biggest challenge of Dashouhe—Xiaoguanglin North [-]rd Duan.

In low-level games, Xiaoguang Linbei can be said to be the strongest chess player. Like Odagiri, he set his sights on a complete victory and won the evaluation of "first class".

Such a game of chess must be very exciting.

Even the TV station started a live broadcast, with two elderly chess players of [-]th and [-]th dan explaining from the sidelines.

Higashino had the chance to watch the official Go game on the live broadcast.

Seeing this scene, Tanaka was very puzzled, "Can Mr. Akino Tiao still play Go?"

"You don't understand," Oda said proudly, "Before, Sensei, there were very few strong players who beat professional chess players. Some media commented that he is the strongest chess player among cartoonists, and the best chess player. comics exist."

"It's amazing," Tanaka said in amazement, scratching his head.

Having won against a professional chess player, this weight is hard for him to understand.

Higashino ignored them and watched the live broadcast seriously.

At the beginning of the game, Odagiri was thinking deeply, and it took 5 minutes before he picked up the chess pieces and played chess.

Then he held the folding fan tightly, with a serious expression on his face.

Higashino Hibiki was very speechless, it seemed that such a game of chess would last for another day.

It is impossible for him to waste a day extravagantly watching such a game of chess.

With the TV on like this, he said to his assistants, "Start working."

When the sun sets to the west and today's work is over, the chess game is not over yet.

But it's the closing stage.

Higashino, who has not been paying attention to Go, does not know how he got to this point.

But after doing some calculations, he found that Kuroko's Odagiri had the upper hand.

If nothing else, Odagiri won.

Sure enough, in the end Odagiri won with two goals.

Xiaoguang Linbei bowed his head unwillingly: "I lost."

So far, it's pretty normal.

However, the teacher who was explaining on the side had a red face, obviously beyond the scope of a normal chess game.

It seems that this chess game has an unexpected episode, which is very interesting.

Higashino raised his forehead, feeling a little regretful that he hadn't finished the whole game of chess.

But fortunately, the commentator began to resume the game.

While replaying, explain the principle to the audience.

From the layout to the mid-range, there is no problem.

Just a great game of chess.

But after that, during the fight between the two, Odagiri failed to find a loophole for a long time, instead his own offensive was weak, leaving an opportunity for Xiaoguang Linbei to take advantage of.

Xiaoguang Linbei looked at the timing and made a fatal move.Odagiri entered the downwind and began to struggle to support.

Higashino Hibiki was surprised. While watching, he had a deep understanding of the chess player Xiaoguang Linbei.

He's the kind of guy who's very solid, on defense, and gives the kill shot.

Such a chess player, with a clear advantage, how was it reversed?

Higashino sound puzzled.

At this moment, when Xiaoguang and Linbei thought that the overall situation was settled at the 78th move of the explanation, Odagiri made a move. This move was unexpected by everyone. It seemed ordinary at first, but after five Xiao Guang and Lin Bei suddenly realized that he had made a mistake!
At this moment, the two explainers in the replay still sighed with emotion: "It's simply the hand of a god! It's amazing."

Higashino looked at this scene seriously, and he was belatedly aware of Odagiri's 78th move.

Odagiri found life, and then the situation began to turn around. At the end, he waited for the battle, and finally won the game without being reversed by Linbei Komitsu.

"Sure enough, it's "God's Hand," Higashino murmured to himself, "It's really a wonderful chess game. "
