Chapter 1092: A Game Full of Twists and Turns

"Arrogant!"

"Baga!!!"

The Japanese chess fans present were so excited that they wanted to rush over and tear Qin Hao apart. Seeing this, Chen Zude and his entourage rushed to the chess academy to protect Qin Hao. Finally, under the cover of the Japanese chess academy's security, they were not drowned by the surging crowd. However, they all looked embarrassed. Chen Zude's glasses were knocked off, and several of his entourage were kicked several times on the buttocks.

Chen Zude was still frightened through the fence, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at Qin Hao: "Xiao Qin, what did you say to those Japanese? Why are they so excited?"

Qin Hao repeated it lightly, shocking everyone. Chen Zude was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Xiao Qin, you are too impulsive!"

Nie Weiping asked curiously: "What did the Japanese reporter say just now?"

"シナ means China in Japanese."

Nie Weiping immediately burst into swear words: "Damn it, Xiao Qin, you are still too elegant. If I knew Japanese, I would directly curse his eight generations of ancestors!"

Jiang Zhujiu and others were also at the age of blood and vigor, and they all shouted to teach the Japanese a lesson.

On the other side, the Japanese team also learned about Qin Hao's "arrogant remarks" from the staff of the chess academy, and they were all so angry that they blew their beards and glared.

At this time, Japanese Go was a proud presence in the world chess world. Although the level of Chinese Go has improved over the years, there is still a big gap with Japanese Go. Now someone dares to challenge the Japanese Go Institute, which is simply not taking the Japanese Go world seriously.

"Humph, which one of the kids named Qin Hao will play? I want to make him cry!"

"Arrogant Chinese kid, I want him to regret coming to Tokyo."

The main player of the Japanese team, Fujisawa Hideyuki, thought about it and called the team leader: "Do you have the information of this kid?"

"Please wait."

Soon, a piece of information about Qin Hao was delivered to Fujisawa Hideyuki. After opening Qin Hao's "resume", Fujisawa Hideyuki frowned and said to Kobayashi Hikaru beside him.

"Kobayashi, you should take a look too."

Kobayashi Koichi flipped through a few pages and threw them aside with disdain: "Mr. Fujisawa, you don't think this kid really has the strength to beat us, do you?"

Fujisawa Hideyuki said seriously: "Don't be careless, Kobayashi. This kid has won the national championship several times in a row, which shows that his chess skills may be better than their main player Nie Weiping."

"Nie Weiping? Is that the Chinese chess player who defeated Ishida?"

Kobayashi Koichi's face became serious when he heard this. He and Otake Hideo, Kato Masao, Cho Chikun, and Ishida Yoshio all worshipped under Kitani Minoru, and they were considered brothers in the same school, so he still knew about Ishida Yoshio's chess skills. Although Ishida Yoshio's chess skills have declined in the past two years, he is still a strong figure in the Japanese chess world. He once completed the feat of winning the Honinbo title five times in a row. Nie Weiping's ability to defeat him is enough to prove that Nie Weiping's chess skills are no less than those of Japanese 9th-dan chess players.

Masao Kato sneered, "Kobayashi-kun, Fujisawa-kun, you are too cautious. He is just a child under 18 years old. Even if he has been playing Go since his mother's womb, he has only been playing Go for more than ten years. Everyone here has played Go for decades. It is not a big deal if a young boy is trying to attract attention."

"Genius? I like the feeling of stepping on geniuses. If he can see me, I will tear him to pieces and let him know that Japanese Go is the best in the world!"

Masao Kato's words immediately aroused praise from the other chess players.

"Kato-kun is right. He is just a child who has not grown up yet. This time, he must be taught a lesson and let him know the consequences of offending our Japanese chess world!"

Looking at his excited teammates, Fujisawa Hideyuki could only choose to shut up, but he still specifically reminded Kobayashi Koichi.

"Kobayashi, if you meet this kid, don't be careless."

Kobayashi Koichi smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, if they can see me, I will let them know what the gap is."

At the Japan Go Association Hall, under the arrangement of the organizer, the Chinese and Japanese teams held a brief pre-match meeting in the lobby. The players from both sides were full of gunpowder as soon as they arrived at the scene.

The pioneer of the Japanese team, Yoda Noriki, who was only 18 years old, said contemptuously: "I will let you know what the gap is."

Chen Zude interrupted the translator's explanation and turned to the Chinese team's pioneer Wang Jianhong and said: "Don't be affected by the outside world, just do your best."

Jiang Zhujiu and others also cheered Wang Jianhong.

"Come on."

"Keep steady."

Soon, the pioneers of both sides sat down at both ends of the chessboard. Both sides guessed, and Wang Jianhong got the opportunity to play black first, which made Jiang Zhujiu and others very happy. Go is a game of seizing opportunities after all, and the first-mover advantage is very obvious.

However, Yoda Noriki showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning. After only 12 moves, he kept cutting off Wang Jianhong's black pieces and actively sought opportunities.

Jiang Zhujiu and others looked solemn.

"This Yoda Noriki is so imposing, he's fighting for his life right from the start."

"I remember that he was only a 5th dan? He's so powerful?"

Chen Zude said with emotion: "This is the essence of Japanese Go, and this Yoda Noriki is not just an ordinary 5th dan player, he has won the 4th dan championship."

Nie Weiping subconsciously looked at Qin Hao on the side, but found that the other party was dozing with his arms folded. He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. This guy is really brave. He can sleep on the spot in such an important game.

On the other side, the atmosphere of the Japanese team was much more lively.

Kato Masao said to his teammates with a smile: "Look, I told you that Chinese chess players are not worth a single blow."

Kobayashi Koichi also whispered to Fujisawa Hideyuki: "Mr. Fujisawa, do you overestimate Chinese chess players a little bit?"

"I hope so." Fujisawa Hideyuki turned his head and looked in the direction of Qin Hao. This young man was too calm from beginning to end. Either he was confident or he was bluffing. Fujisawa Hideyuki always felt that the other party was the former.

Soon, both sides had played 25 moves on the stage. Just when Yoda Noriki was about to make a move, a drop of blood suddenly fell from the top to the edge of the chessboard.

Wang Jianhong was under heavy pressure and had a nosebleed.

However, just when the referee was about to suspend the game, Wang Jianhong just gritted his teeth, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe off the blood, and then signaled the game to continue.

However, as the game continued, Wang Jianhong was under increasing pressure, especially after entering the middle game, when each move needed to be calculated accurately. If one move was wrong, the whole game might be lost.

And Yoda Noriki still maintained his offensive posture, constantly exerting pressure on Wang Jianhong.

"Oh, this game is difficult for Xiao Wang."

As the game entered the second half of the middle game, Wang Jianhong made the move of 7/11, and Nie Weiping shook his head with regret.

As Nie Weiping said, Wang Jianhong's move was obviously a losing move. His black chess only wanted to defend one point, but he forgot that the black chess shape had been compressed very tightly.

Yoda Noriki did not give Wang Jianhong any chance to remedy the situation. The white chess fell to the position of 2/6, completely locking the big dragon in the lower left corner of the black chess.

After five minutes of long thinking, Wang Jianhong could only abandon the chess and admit defeat.

Several members of the Japanese team cheered and celebrated for Yoda Noriki, while Wang Jianhong's lips turned white and cold sweat ran down after he walked off the stage.

"It's okay, Xiao Wang, this is just the first game, we will win back." Chen Zude could only pat his arm to comfort him.

Although he said so, Wang Jianhong's defeat also brought the morale of the Chinese team to the freezing point.

After looking around, Chen Zude hesitated for a long time and still did not let Qin Hao play, but said to Jiang Zhujiu beside him: "Xiao Jiang, you should play the second game."

The second game between the two sides started in the afternoon. Yoda Noriki, who had just defeated Wang Jianhong in the morning, won the qualification to play black first in the guessing game, and the black chess piece was at the small eye position in the upper right corner in the first move.

In the one-six-one-nine-one-book-one-bar, there is no wrong version!

And Jiang Zhujiu's white chess piece landed at the point three-three position.

This move caused a lot of discussion among the Japanese team.

"Is there any new pattern for the first move to be placed in this position?"

"Maybe he was shocked by Yoda-kun's momentum and played a useless move."

Kobayashi Koichi and Fujisawa Hideyuki looked at each other and did not participate in the discussion.

The Chinese team all focused their attention on Qin Hao. He was the first to use the point 33 opening move. At first, everyone thought that Qin Hao's move was useless, but after Qin Hao's chess games in several national championships were studied in depth, everyone was surprised to find that the point 33 opening move seemed to have more advantages than the small eye and star position opening moves.

Jiang Zhujiu lived in the same dormitory with Qin Hao in the last selection, and the two had the most contact. Jiang Zhujiu gradually began to use the point 33 opening move, and the actual effect was very good.

Perhaps it was Jiang Zhujiu's "weird" opening move that made Yoda Noriki a little uncomfortable. When he played to the fifteenth move, Jiang Zhujiu returned a three-space high clamp, which he had just used to beat Wang Jianhong in the morning.

This move of "returning the favor in the same way" made Yoda Noriki very angry, and he began to launch a fierce offensive against Jiang Zhujiu's white chess.

Jiang Zhujiu did not flinch either. He counterattacked directly on the spot and started a close fight with Yoda Noriki's black chess.

For a while, the chessboard was turbulent. Just as they entered the middle stage, Yoda Noriki and Jiang Zhujiu began to sweat on their foreheads.

The Japanese team watching the game under the ring also changed their previous contempt at this moment, and their faces became solemn.

Kato Masao said impatiently: "What is Yoda Noriki doing? He was chased so embarrassed."

Fujisawa Hideyuki shook his head slightly: "You can't blame Yoda-kun. This Chinese chess player is very strong and should not be underestimated."

Kobayashi Koichi also nodded in agreement: "At least in the first fifty moves, I didn't find his flaws."

"Humph, Kobayashi-kun, Fujisawa-kun, you are too ambitious and destroy your own prestige. If I were to play this game, I would never give the other party the opportunity to force me like Yoda-kun." Kato Masao snorted coldly.

The Chinese side was also sweating for Jiang Zhujiu.

Everyone could see that Jiang Zhujiu's opening move was not his best. Although he had a certain advantage in the early stage, how to lay out in the middle stage and how to end the endgame were very challenging. If he was not careful, he might be overturned.

Nie Weiping poked Qin Hao's arm with his folding fan: "Xiao Qin, what do you think of Xiao Jiang's winning rate in this game?"

"At present, if the handicap is taken into account, it's 40% to 60%." Qin Hao said casually, but shook his head the next second.

"It's 70% to 30% now. Jiang Zhujiu made a good move."

As Qin Hao said, after Jiang Zhujiu's black piece landed on the stage, sweat kept coming out of Yoshiki Iida's forehead. He wiped it again and again with a handkerchief but it didn't stop.

The Japanese team was also stunned by Jiang Zhujiu's move.

"He actually gave up the fight for the corners and moved to the middle."

"This is a great move, but it puts Yoda-kun in danger."

Sure enough, Yoda Noriki on the stage could only grit his teeth and stick to him, and began to fight with Jiang Zhujiu in the middle area, because once this area was controlled by Jiang Zhujiu, the black dragon that he had invested a lot of energy in the lower left corner would be cut off.

As a result, before he could recover, Jiang Zhujiu's offensive came again, and this time the war burned to the upper right corner.

There was no way, Yoda Noriki could only turn around to fill the vacancy in the upper right corner, so he could only follow Jiang Zhujiu's buttocks all the time, putting out fires everywhere, and the initiative was firmly controlled by Jiang Zhujiu.

However, Yoda Noriki's fighting spirit was still very tenacious, and he dragged the game to the final stage of the official game. In the end, he only lost 2.5 points because of the black handicap.

On the first day, the two sides tied 1:1, which was acceptable to the Chinese side, but the Japanese side was very dissatisfied. After the game, Japanese reporters bombarded Yoda Noriki, making Yoda Noriki ashamed and bowing repeatedly to apologize.

In the next day's game, Jiang Zhujiu played again and defeated Japanese players Kobayashi Kaku and Awaji Shuzo.

For a time, Japan was furious, and the media criticized the three defeated players repeatedly, and the Japan Go Institute apologized repeatedly.

Under this pressure, the Japanese team decided to send the Japanese top-notch player "Kobayashi Koichi" to play first.

As a result, Kobayashi Koichi won the match with Jiang Zhujiu with a great advantage in the middle game, ending Jiang Zhujiu's winning streak.

After the game, the Japanese media changed their previous attitude and boasted that Japan's position as the "world's number one" in Go could not be shaken, and Japan's top-notch players were unbeatable.

The situation in the following games took a sharp turn for the worse. After defeating Jiang Zhujiu, Kobayashi Koichi defeated Shao Zhenzhong, Cao Dayuan, Liu Xiaoguang and Ma Xiaochun in succession. In addition to the game with Liu Xiaoguang, which was won by a small half-point advantage, the rest were all won by overwhelming advantage.

"Kobayashi Koichi's mid-game ability is still so strong." Nie Weiping said with emotion at the post-match summary meeting.

After Kobayashi Koichi won five consecutive victories, the only one standing in front of Nie Weiping was Qin Hao. Once Qin Hao lost, according to Nie Weiping's previous zero-win record with Kobayashi Koichi, Kobayashi Koichi might have to clear the field alone.

The Japanese media have begun to prepare in advance to celebrate the victory of the Japanese team.
