Chapter 187 Crazy Guy, Haha, I'm Starting to Like Him
As fellow players from the Kanto region, this will undoubtedly be a clash between players of the same attribute, both using the flying rook.
Everyone expected this.
However, there is another interesting point of expectation for this match.
In the commentary booth, Kamiya Ayumu, with one hand on his forehead and an incredibly cool pose, exclaimed, "Ara ara~ It's another opening move that attacks infantry. I'm really looking forward to seeing 'corner exchange' next."
Tsukiyo Misaka Ryo also became serious, sitting cross-legged in his chair with a carefree air, and said with a frown, "Kuzuryu is clearly very good at 'exchanging corners,' and this young master of Adachi Ward once used 'exchanging corners' to win over you, Ayumu-kun, so..."
"Cough cough! That's too much! I've just escaped from pain and torment, my body has been cleansed, and my spirit has been purified. What's with you, you wretched woman, suddenly bringing up the past again?" Kamiya Ayumu shouted in dissatisfaction.
Tsukiyo Misaka Ryo cursed, "Since you've already been cleansed and purified, what's wrong with saying a few more words? Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! The young master of Adachi Ward defeated you, beat you, and tortured you to death with 'Turn of the Corner,' you stupid god!"
Shen Guo Bu Meng stood up angrily and said, "Demons! You are simply unreasonable! You are truly unworthy to be associated with us holy knights!"
"Who cares? You idiot!" Yueye saw Ban Liao, that foul-mouthed old man.
Before anything could happen, the two commentators in the commentary booth started arguing with each other, adding to the entertainment value for many chess fans and making them laugh.
But soon, more attention was drawn to the battle on the chessboard.
The third move begins.
Luo Chen clearly pondered for a moment, then picked up his horn and, surprisingly, blazed brightly, directly struck into the heart of the Nine-Headed Dragon Eight-One's territory.
Eat the corner!
"hiss!!"
I go!
Many people stared wide-eyed.
The argument in the commentary booth came to an abrupt halt.
"This guy actually knows how to use 'Duijiao' (a skill).
Kamiya Ayumu murmured in disbelief, but it was precisely because of this that he felt much more at ease.
This at least proves that he is not inferior to Luo Chen and Kuzuryu Yaichi. The fact that Luo Chen also uses the "Corner Exchange" when facing Kuzuryu Yaichi also proves that Luo Chen's "Corner Exchange" is not a tactic to bully weaker opponents.
"Oh? This is interesting. The young master of Adachi Ward is a crazy guy. He'll do anything. I'm starting to like him."
Tsukiyo Misaka Ryo tapped the table with great interest and began to speak without any hesitation.
Kamina Ayumu shivered and glanced discreetly at Tsukiyo Misaka Ryo beside her, thinking to herself, "Maybe I shouldn't. With your teeth, who could stand it?"
It will be a fatal blow!
Of course, as a commentator, he also professionally gave a brief introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of Luo Chen's use of the "corner exchange" tactic in this game.
"Although I don't know what kind of technique Luo Chenjun used to achieve the ability to kill by cornering opponents without being directly hit by a wall, when the opponent, Nine-Headed Dragon, is also a master of cornering, using this tactic would do far more harm than good..."
"A 9-headed dragon who understands 'Duijiao' to the extreme will surely be more agile and quicker than ordinary people to seize the weaknesses under Duijiao's strong attack."
"Wow! This game is very interesting. I'm getting more and more curious about what Luo Chenjun's intention is in playing it this way even though he knows this."
The chess fans at the scene listened with great excitement, their eyes widening with anticipation.
In the opening set, the score was 42-43.
Luo Chen launched a parallel attack, pulling the game into the middle game, and immediately began a brutal and relentless bombardment tactic.
▲2 Six steps, ▲ Same silver, one in front and one behind, one attacking and one defending, seemingly symmetrical, cooperating seamlessly, with a good balance of tension and relaxation.
After that, Guima entered the game and immediately changed his position after three moves. He established himself in the heart of the Nine-Headed Dragon Eight-One territory and began a brutal advance!
To outsiders, Luo Chen's fighting style was that of a crazy barbarian, with nothing but offense.
Is he out of his mind?
Similar questions arose in the minds of many people, who were deeply puzzled: how could such a person be a terrifyingly strong expert with the strength of a professional eighth-dan!
But soon, another question arose in everyone's mind.
Since Luo Chen is attacking so desperately and relentlessly, as if he has abandoned everything and only has "kill, kill, kill" in his eyes, why doesn't Kuzuryu Yaichi take the opportunity to counterattack and destroy Luo Chen's rear?
As one of the top users of the "corner exchange" tactic, no one understands the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic better than Yaichi Kuzuryu.
However, looking at moves 43 through 89, Kuto-ryu Bayi was pitifully using the "Mino-wai" defensive move the whole time.
They look completely non-aggressive, a very weak bunch?
"Perhaps it's not that the Nine-Headed Dragon didn't want to retaliate and seize Luo Chenjun's weaknesses to launch a beating, but rather that within the limited dimensions, he simply couldn't do it!"
"Two points. First, while Luo Chenjun was launching a brutal attack, he also perfectly protected his rear, making it as solid as a rock, thus preventing the Nine-Headed Dragon from attacking and leaving it only able to watch. However, I do not agree with this analysis. After all, no matter how you look at it, Luo Chenjun's rear does not seem to be perfectly surrounded."
"Therefore, I lean towards the second point, and I've also come to understand it. That is, while Luo Chenjun launches a brutal attack, he leaves behind weaknesses, or vulnerabilities. Even though the Nine-Headed Dragon can rely on these weaknesses to launch an attack, attacks on the chessboard are rarely instantaneous, like a 540 move. They may require one or two moves of preparation. But it is precisely in this gap that the Nine-Headed Dragon prepares that Luo Chenjun can easily discern, and then quickly respond, make a defensive move, and perfectly fill the gap..."
When Kamiya Ayumu becomes serious and solemn, all her chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) tendencies seem to disappear, replaced by a fully armed and solemn demeanor.
Because he suddenly realized that Luo Chen seemed to be even more terrifying than he had imagined!
He had always regarded Kuzuryu Yaichi as his strongest opponent, since he had always lost more often than he had won when playing against him.
But now it seems that this Luo Chen! The young master of Adachi Ward! This guy who only recently rose to prominence in this year's "Dragon King Tournament"...
It was clearly terrifying and outrageous!
Countless people gasped and their eyes twitched at Shen Guo's analysis.
Of course, there are also those like Tsukiyomi Saka Ryo next to Ayumi Kamiya, tsk tsk, sigh:
"Great! I love this kind of valiant attack style! He can even fight like this against the Nine-Headed Dragon, I like him even more now!"
And Ayumi Kamiya's analysis was undeniably correct.
At the same time, in the chess room, Kuzuryuu Yaichi, sitting opposite Luo Chen, was experiencing a tremendous shock and disbelief due to Luo Chen's unique style of play!
Chapter 188 Mino's "Slaughterground," 'All-Encompassing Heavenly Net' and 'Absolute Defense'
As for Luo Chen.
Kuzuryu Yaichi has never been underestimated.
Initially, he only paid attention to one of Luo Chen's matches, the four-dan match, because Luo Chen was his senior sister's fiancé.
After reading it, Kuzuryuu Yaichi felt a warning rising in his mind, and immediately realized that Luo Chen was not simple.
So, he watched all of his matches very carefully: the one against Kaname Ikko 6-dan, the one against Gario Daisei 7-dan, and the one against Kamiya Ayumu 6-dan.
He even went so far as to take out a videotape to review the incident, which undoubtedly shows how much he values Luo Chen.
Kiyotaki Tsunasuke often taught his disciples not to be careless or underestimate their opponents. Kuzuryu Yaichi was well aware of this principle and therefore never underestimated his opponents.
But right now, Luo Chen!!
Even after studying so many matches, he still realized that he had been careless and underestimated his opponent!
Under Luo Chen's relentless attack of "Cross Angles", he found himself completely unable to retaliate and could only passively take the beating.
Unconsciously, he gently adjusted his bright glasses, his face unusually solemn.
This solemnity was something he only displayed during his first few matches against Yishan Daojin.
Because at that time, he would feel a strong sense of powerlessness, as if facing a towering mountain.
Without a doubt, Luo Chen gives him the same feeling now.
"eat!"
On move 103, after losing two pieces in the "exchange corners" move, Luo Chen captured a piece for the first time. With the combination of Xiang Chariot and Cheng Gui, he used the Flying Chariot as bait to swallow one of his Gui Horses.
Kuzuryuu's heart sank heavily.
not good!
Having mastered the art of "exchanging corners," he naturally understood that once the Savage Attack method launched its first crushing capture, it would become unstoppable.
Just like the principle of "one effort, then decline, then exhaustion," he almost relied on his extraordinary willpower to resist taking Luo Chen's flying car bait.
On the contrary, Jin will move.
Mino-gai-hashi bear!
This move sparked considerable discussion outside the venue.
"What's going on? Isn't the flying car going to eat?"
"What is the Nine-Headed Dragon King thinking? Trading a horse for a flying chariot is a win-win situation, so why is he choosing to switch to a defensive position instead of taking the flying chariot when he could have done so?"
"I just can't understand it!"
"What the hell is this?!"
For a moment, no one could reach a clear conclusion, and many people looked hopefully toward the commentary booth.
