Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 547 Easily Win
  After two days of rest, the much-anticipated Wang Jiangzhan entered the semi-finals.

Fujiwara Hoshikai has become the focus of everyone's attention with his outstanding performance in the previous rounds. He is about to face an experienced veteran - Fujino Kinji.

Fujino Kinji, wearing a traditional gray kimono, his serious face and unsmiling attitude made the air in the entire lounge seem heavy. Fujiwara did not break the silence, but maintained a polite distance and quietly waited for the moment to enter the competition room.

Finally, with the announcement from the staff, the two shogi players slowly walked into the room equipped with a shogi board and a clock. After confirming that everything is ready, the referee announced the start of the game.

Fujiwara Hoshikai and Fujino Kinji sat face to face, with only a silent chessboard between them. Fujiwara calmly placed the first piece - the infantry - in the center, which was the normal formation for the opening game. His eyes were focused and calm, as if he had foreseen countless possible futures at every intersection on the chessboard.

Kinji Fujino responded with a unhurried phase-controlled start, a solid setup meant to build a solid defence. The chess game gradually unfolded, with both sides quickly adjusting their formations, sometimes quickly and sometimes thoughtfully. The situation on the chessboard was like a battlefield in thick fog, making it difficult to see clearly the outcome.

However, as the game progressed, Fujiwara Hoshikai began to show his side attack tactics. His silver generals and speedsters worked together to quickly create a threat on the edge of Fujino Jinji's position. Although Fujino Kinji's defense was solid, Fujiwara Hoshikai's offensive was like a long stream of water, gradually eroding the opponent's position.

At the critical moment, Fujiwara Hoshikai used an extremely sophisticated chess technique - "Yakura Shinbi's Ride Switching Tactics". This tactic creates a local numerical advantage by changing the route of the flying car to support the side attack. He first cleverly moved the flying car from the center to the left. This move caused a flaw in Fujino Kinji's layout.

As Fujiwara Hoshikai continued to strengthen the offensive on the left, Fujino Kinji began to show fatigue. Although his infantry and Keima fought hard, they were unable to stop Fujiwara Hoshiumi's attack wave.

In the end, in an ingenious move, Fujiwara Hoshikai's Ryoma penetrated Fujino Kinji's defense and reached the vital point of his general. Faced with this irreversible blow, Fujino Kinji had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat.

1:0, the second game started quickly after a simple break.

At the beginning of the game, sides were changed, with Fujiwara Hoshikai taking the black lead and Fujino Kinji taking the white lead. The atmosphere on the chessboard was tense and focused, and the audience was waiting with bated breath.

In the opening stage, Xinghai adopted the arrow car opening, which is a layout that emphasizes the center of the chessboard and can lay a solid foundation for subsequent offensives. Fujino Jinji responded with the "static vibration of flying cars" tactic, trying to use the long-term threat of flying cars to break Xinghai's defense line.

It's a pity that Fujiwara immediately saw the opponent's strategy, and instead used Kakugyuki to promote Ryoma to trap the opponent's speeder.

As the game progressed, Xinghai carefully laid out his moves, taking into account both offense and defense. His gold generals and silver generals worked closely together to build an impenetrable defensive network for the king general. Kinji Fujino's flying cars and horns were crisscrossing the chessboard, trying to find flaws.

In the middle of the game, Fujiwara's Keima cleverly leapt into Fujino Kinji's position, breaking the balance of his infantry line. Fujino Kinji quickly mobilized Xiangqi to try to block Keima's threat, but at this time Xinghai broke into an infantry without hesitation and cleverly used the "breakthrough and penetration" tactic. This move not only prevented Xiangqi's blockade, but also It also opens up attack paths for his other pieces.

At this time, the host who was reporting the situation in the next room also laughed in surprise when he saw Fujiwara's move, and introduced the effect of this move in detail. "Looking at it now, the one that is most likely to end the game is Fujiwara's. Fujino's next three have no way to leave the promotion zone."

At the end of the game, Fujiwara Hoshikai's chess style became fierce. He used the "jump attack" tactic for several consecutive rounds. First, he used infantry to upgrade to gold, and then let the upgraded gold generals form a pincer with the original gold generals. offensive. The king of Jin Er is forced to travel between the silver generals and gold generals in the sea of ​​​​stars to survive, and the situation is precarious.

In the decisive hand, Hoshikai used an extremely advanced technique, "Migakiri Keisute", which is a strategy of sacrificing Keisuke's horse to lure the opponent's king into a trap. As expected, Jinji was fooled and ate Keima, but this move exposed his general to the straight-line attacks of Xinghai's Kakugo and the ascended Dragon King.

In the end, Fujiwara Hoshikai ended the game with a gorgeous "Kinkawa Gangan" (Kinkawa Gangan). His gold general and the dragon king formed an undefensible continuous general. Kinji had no choice but to surrender.

In the third game, Fujiwara once again combined speed and Kakugyuki from the outside to strangle and push all the way to quickly capture the opponent's king general.

At the beginning of the fourth game, Fujino Kinji played white and tried to start with a "Shikenbisha" strategy, intending to quickly launch an offensive on the flanks. However, Fujiwara Hoshikai seemed to be well prepared. He chose the robust "Ibisha" layout to deal with potential flank attacks with solid defense.

A few steps later, Fujino Kinji's offensive had not yet fully launched, but Fujiwara Hoshikai quickly controlled the center of the chessboard through several precise infantry advances and chess piece exchanges. In the process, a flaw appeared in Jin Er's defense, and Xinghai seized the opportunity without hesitation.

As the situation developed, Fujiwara Hoshikai's chess style showed an overwhelming advantage. Every move he made seemed to invisibly oppress Fujino Kinji, forcing the latter's king to move frequently to avoid threats. Finally, in a well-designed trap, Xinghai used a simple but deadly strategy - "Oikin" (Oikin), that is, a simple move of a golden general to create an undefendable king's hand.

When Fujino Jinji was looking for an escape route, he found that he had no way to go. The iron triangle formed by Xinghai's infantry, silver generals and flying cars blocked the king general's escape route, while Jin Er's other chess pieces were exposed due to the previous offensive and were unable to provide effective support.

In the end, Fujiwara Hoshikai declared victory in this game with almost no effort.

Fifth round
  In the end, Fujiwara advanced directly to the finals with a winning advantage.

After finishing the competition, Fujiwara unbuttoned the sleeves of his shirt and was about to go to the bathroom to wash his hands. When a staff member ran out from the next door hut and reminded Fujiwara Hoshikai.

"Mr. Fujiwara, please stay. Toto TV wants to interview you and Mr. Haneda. Please go to the door of the studio on the second floor in five minutes."
