In the commentary booth, Tsukiyomi Saka Ryo, also puzzled, tilted his head and asked, "Hey~ God, what's the meaning of Kuzuryu's move?"
She was annoyed, confused, and even a little envious.
Her playing style is almost identical to the "corner exchange" tactic, a crazy and savage attack, otherwise she wouldn't be called the "Archangel of Attack" in the chess world.
Unfortunately, in her chess style, it's difficult for her to have any focus on defense while attacking; she completely prioritizes offense over defense.
It is not uncommon for pieces to be exchanged, but it has never happened before that you have openly handed over your pieces to your opponent, and your opponent pretends not to see them.
Wonderful!
Shen Guobu Meng frowned in deep thought, her brain working at its peak as she tried to decipher the intention behind her previous step.
He didn't believe that Kuzuryuu Yaichi was making baseless accusations, but like everyone else, he was also puzzled... This contemplation lasted for a full five minutes in the blink of an eye.
On the chessboard, after Luo Chen and Kuzuryu Yaichi exchanged more than 10 moves, Kamina Ayumu suddenly slammed her hand on the table: "So that's how it is!!"
"what?"
Tsukiyo Misaka Ryo had completely forgotten what had just happened. Startled by his sudden outburst, she grinned in displeasure, revealing a fierce expression.
"The 'Slaughter Ground' of Meinongwei, ha! As expected of Luo Chenjun, even when facing the Nine-Headed Dragon, you still want to fight in the 'Slaughter Ground'?"
"But the Nine-Headed Dragon truly lived up to its name, resisting the temptation to devour its own pieces and guarding against the attacking bear's encirclement, thus breaking through the impending killing intent."
"Hahaha! As expected of these two, interesting, so very interesting, this is simply amazing!"
Suddenly, Kamiya Ayumu went crazy with excitement, even jumping onto the commentary platform, holding the microphone, and sitting in the commentary booth to stare intently at the screen at close range.
Countless chess fans belatedly realized that what Shen Guo Bu Meng was referring to was the move by Jiu Tou Long Ya Yi that didn't capture any pieces.
That was actually Luo Chen's "killer move"?
A slaughterhouse?
Gum!
Someone swallowed hard.
Although ten steps have passed since that move, bringing it up again now, for some reason, especially the words "slaughterhouse," still makes one feel a chill down their spine.
A small group of people suddenly exclaimed in surprise, because when they looked up, they saw two very famous figures in the chess world.
"The Ghost Hand Chess Saint," Yu Guitou Yao, known as the "Absolute Master," is one of the top nine A-rank chess players!
"Half-Life Throne," Shinobu Daishi, also known as "The Net of All Things," is one of the top 9A Go players!
"Two Rank 9A adults?"
"They're all title holders, and the top-tier ones at that!"
"Lord Yu Guitou and Lord Shinobu, it is said that the two of you held a reclusive seminar together a few days ago, and I did not expect that you would show up together today."
"Even in the Dragon King Tournament, no Rank 9A has ever appeared!"
"My God, it's real! It's him!..."
The appearance of the two 9A students inevitably drew attention from a small group of people who first noticed and exclaimed in surprise, and then quickly attracted the attention of countless others.
Misaki Kamiigusa looked up at the two 9A-level Go players on the fourth floor, her eyes filled with admiration. She clenched her fist excitedly and said, "I actually saw 9A-level Go players! I can brag about this for the rest of my life when I get home, hehe~!"
"Is that 9A?"
(Li Ma's) Aoyama Nanami was also filled with excitement.
In Japan, professional shogi players have a very high status, and if one reaches the 9A rank, their status becomes extremely impressive.
Even the heads of the three major families often treat such people as honored guests... Of course, there's no fear involved, but necessary respect is definitely required.
After all, a 9A-level player is a true top-tier celebrity in Japan.
There was once an urban legend circulating online that said if you could get the support of more than half of the 9A chess players, you could run for prime minister without any pressure under any circumstances!
This is the influence of a 9A-level Go player in Japanese society, and the presence and symbolic significance of top social celebrities.
"Huh? Where's Mashiro-kun?"
After slowly withdrawing her envious gaze, Aoyama Nanami suddenly realized that someone was missing from her side, and her expression immediately changed drastically.
Oh no, it's all gone!
Chapter 189 "The Soul of Shogi" - Divine Assistance, Hundreds of Readings, Still an Immediate Question!
Snapped!
*Smack!*2
*Snap! *3...
Inside the chess room, the intense game had been going on for an hour and a half, and the game had reached move 246.
A serious expression gradually appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.
Yaichi Kuzuryu is quite formidable.
He originally wanted to test his basic strength against this guy, and in fact, he almost succeeded.
However, Yaichi Kuzuryu's decision to switch to a different defense on the spot shattered their initial hopes of victory.
Now.
He and Kuzuryuuya suddenly suffered losses.
Without considering tactics, Kuzuryu loses more pieces, but when tactics are taken into account, he becomes somewhat inferior.
"Forget it, let's just start."
Luo Chen's buttocks were getting a little numb from sitting. He frowned, then without further hesitation, activated his current ultimate cheat, "Shogi Soul"!
Even before the game, he received accurate information from the system that the three destined heroines had all met the preparatory conditions for "Shogi Soul".
Now, I've finally found a place to put my skills to use.
When the skill was activated, a ray of blue light seemed to flash in Luo Chen's eyes. Immediately, his brain, which had been somewhat tired from frantic calculations and interpretations, felt much lighter.
Just as the mental fatigue from before disappeared, Luo Chen clearly sensed that his judgment base was soaring!
"Familiar feeling."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, made a move, placed a piece, and changed the direction of the move.
[Flying Car] has officially changed.
The Dragon King is causing trouble!! His actions have a very unique meaning in the eyes of outsiders.
Even Ayumi Kamiya couldn't escape the influence of this kind of fixed mindset. In the commentary booth, she asked herself, somewhat uncertainly:
"Is Luo Chenjun preparing for a desperate last stand, a final, suicidal attack?"
The chariot and the corner piece are considered two rather special pieces on the shogi board.
The former is better for offense, while the latter is better for defense.
Especially after the upgrade, efficiency doubled.
Therefore, the corner move to promote to the "Dragon Horse" is often done when a player is facing pressure from the opponent's attack, feels helpless, and feels that they can no longer resist.
Similarly, the transformation of a rook into a dragon is often a move a player makes when preparing to completely crush their opponent in one fell swoop.
However, in the current situation, although Kuzuryu Hachiichi's side has suffered heavy losses, it still has the strength to fight and has not shown any overwhelming dominance.
Luo Chen, however, chose to switch to [Flying Car] at this moment.
Meaningful!
Kamina Ayumu's statement received unanimous approval from almost all professional shogi players and fans, and whispers about it constantly arose.
"After all, the Nine-Headed Dragon King is just too tough!"
"The young master of Adachi Ward, who launched a furious attack on 246, was already amazing. He played very coolly, but the Nine-Headed Dragon King was as solid as a rock."
"After all, he is the most brilliant genius of the new generation, so it's understandable."
"If the young master of Adachi Ward hadn't used the 'corner exchange' technique, he might have had a chance to beat the Kuzuryuu. But now it seems unlikely."
"After all, as Bu Mengjun said at the beginning, no one understands 'Duijiao' better than the Nine-Headed Dragon King. The young master of Adachi Ward is forcibly using his own weakness to attack the enemy's strength... which is not very rational."
"Are we going to lose? What a pity. I was hoping to see our young master win all the way. Damn it! If our young master had reached the fourth, sixth, and seventh dan ranks, and even reached the Dream Walker + Dragon King ranks right from the start, he would definitely have won countless matches!"
"..."
Snapped! !
Just as such gossip was going on, a sudden, even crisper sound of a piece being placed drew everyone's attention back.
And in the commentary booth, Shen Guo Bu Meng suddenly exclaimed, "Thousand-day Hand?"
Luo Chen's Thousand-Day Hand technique hit twice, followed by a triple counterattack.
Referee Sumito Sakari intervened and mediated the three consecutive Thousand-Hit Hands, changing the starting lineup to Yaichi Kuzuryu.
Tsukiyo Misaka Ryo, his cheeks hunched, looked bewildered: "What? This guy, Luo Chen, a fourth-dan, why did he suddenly use the Thousand-Day Hand technique, and three times in a row? What does that mean? Is he just giving up?"
The question she asked is also what the vast majority of people are thinking.
They almost all believed that this was inseparable from Luo Chen's previous dragon transformation, and that it was probably a symbol of Luo Chen's slacking off.
