"Great! I knew you could do it! Luo Chen, 8th Dan, win for me!!!"
Chapter 337 Luo Chen, Eighth Rank, what exactly is he doing?!
"Zhenfei car?"
When Xiao Fujii saw through Luo Chen's strategy, he was, to be honest, slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Luo Chen to actually play this game with him.
The decline of Kansai Go players is obvious to the naked eye. Not only do they only occupy two spots in the 9A rankings, but they also lack any of the four top young players.
During this time, many people were discussing whether it was related to tactics.
This phenomenon arose because the development potential of the Zhenfei car is far lower than that of the Jufei car.
Although the Kansai Go players were furious and denied it one after another, they were powerless to refute the overwhelming evidence.
Therefore, in the Japanese Go world today, it is a generally accepted fact that Ju Fei's chariot is indeed larger than Zhen Fei's chariot.
The Zhenfei vehicle only proves effective against certain specific tactics.
For example, when Kuzuryu Yaichi fought against the Mountain Blade Master, he studied the Zhenfei Car, which he hated the most, in order to counter the opponent's two-sword style.
The dual-wielding style was completely countered and killed by the rapid-fire flying chariot technique that Yaichi Kuzuryu had mastered in a short period of time, resulting in the defeat of the Mountain Blade Mastery. 12
Now, Luo Chen is also using the Zhenfei Car...
"But my style isn't like the dual-wielding style, and I've never heard of the Flying Chariot being able to counter me!"
Fujii has many thoughts, which are strange and complicated. At the same time, he doesn't think at all that Luo Chen, who comes from Adachi Ward in the Kanto region, is weaker at playing the "Living Flying Car" game than the "Vibration Flying Car" game.
So, is there only one reason left for the current situation?
Luo Chen didn't even fancy him!
Using the Zhenfei car was just a casual move; at the same time, another purpose might have been to win over the hearts of the Kansai Go players?
Although it's unclear why Luo Chen would use this method to win over the hearts of the Kansai Go players, but...
When the thought popped into Fujii's mind, he immediately flew into a rage and focused all his attention.
Snapped!
The opening move changes the game!
This is a battle tactic unique to Fujii!
Because in Kofuji's games, the attack often occurs in the early and middle stages, and the moves change direction, so he is often faster than the average person!
The horn-shaped dragon horse charged straight into Luo Chen's formation, directly occupying the core point and disrupting Luo Chen's initial setup.
Luo Chen remained calm and composed, mimicking Xiao Fujii, but instead used a flying car to drive straight in without engaging in any altercations, and without setting up any defenses behind him.
Little Fujii grinned, muttering to himself, "Young master of Adachi Ward, if you're going to play like this, you're really underestimating me!"
Following Longma, Feiche also infiltrated Luo Chen's formation, Wang.
The commentator for this match, also a Kansai Go player, was already biased when he saw Luo Chen use the Zhenfei Chariot in the second round.
Seeing this, the old 8th Dan from Kansai was extremely anxious: "Luo Chen, 8th Dan, you were a bit rash. How could you let Fujii level up to Ryoma and Ryūō in such a short time!"
Another 7-dan player, looking equally anxious, frowned and said, "Kiji is unlike other players. His style is very cunning. If he succeeds in easily playing the corner move and the double rook in the early game, it will be very difficult for Luo Chen 8-dan to defend and build his base formation!"
"What is the young master thinking about?"
"Could it be that, because they didn't know Fujii's style, they accidentally caused this result?"
"Hiss!! If that's really the case, it's such a pity!"
"Hey! The results aren't out yet, why are you all so dejected? Isn't there still a possibility called 'luring the enemy into a trap'?"
"You mean the young master did this on purpose, just to test his skills against Fujii when he's going all out?"
"At least, I absolutely do not believe that the young master could be defeated so easily. He is a genius, the 24-year-old Takuto Tsunouchi, an 8th-dan player!!"
"..."
Sometimes, the truth is just that interesting.
Before the second round of the battle even began, Luo Chen had caused a great deal of panic by miraculously defeating Uchimura Takuto in 24 moves.
After a night of fermentation, he was even called the Great Demon King of the Chess World and the Young Master of the Forbidden Chess by countless people.
Now, Luo Chen used the Vibration Car in the second round of the battle... Good heavens! The winds of change instantly!
In an instant, Luo Chen became an inviolable supreme figure in the hearts of countless Kansai Go players!
Of course, Luo Chen was unaware of all this.
As Fujii predicted, his use of the 'Flying Rook' in this game did indeed have an additional purpose. Of course, it was not entirely without benefit to the game, nor was it a complete underestimation of Fujii.
The two players battled for a total of 60 moves in the early game before Fujii, with a grin, signaled the start of the push into the middle game.
At this moment, Fujii was firing on all cylinders, while Luo Chen's side seemed to be suffering a crushing defeat in the early stages, with no formation whatsoever at all.
The many Kansai chess players outside were extremely anxious, and they were all sweating bullets for Luo Chen.
The commentator's tone was also very excited and anxious.
"Let's see how you play now!" Little Fujii was completely in the zone, advancing together with Ryoma and Ryūō.
Luo Chen squinted his eyes slightly.
At this moment, the second dimension of the brain in my mind is operating at full power, making predictions that surpass even the power of a thousand hands.
The infantrymen moved forward, avoiding the encirclement and hunt of Kofuji.
The gold general retreated and circled around the jade general.
Such a life-saving tactic inevitably aroused concern from the commentator, the veteran 8-dan player from Kansai: "What exactly is 8-dan player Luo Chen thinking? In my opinion, the best approach in this situation is to quickly establish a strategy! Otherwise, 970 will only be devoured by Fujii, and in the end, won't it all be for nothing?"
"That's right, the biggest taboo in shogi is to only protect your stones, and not... Eh?? Master Ikuishi!"
Before the professional 7th Dan could finish his explanation, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up from his seat in shock.
Even the old 8-dan player from Kansai standing next to him hurriedly stood up to show respect to the highly renowned 9A-rank Go player.
Many viewers were immediately drawn to what was happening in the commentary booth, and were surprised to see that Mitsuru Ikushi had actually walked up to the commentary booth!
Replacing the seventh dan, Mitsuru Ikushi smiled and said, "Ishigami-kun, let me commentate on this match with Master Sanmon."
Hi~!
Ishigami, a seventh-dan master, hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The eighth-dan player, whom Shengshi referred to as the "Master of the Mountain Gate," keenly sensed something and hurriedly asked, "Does Master Shengshi have any special insights into Luo Chen's current thinking?"
"Hehe." Ikushi Mitsuru smiled mysteriously, then, under the expectant gazes of countless people, slowly shook his head and spread his hands to express his regret: "No."
The mountain gate master: "..."
At the scene, and among countless chess fans watching the live broadcast of the second round of the Celebrity Tournament: "!!!"
Chapter 338 You won't take my hand? Then let me do it!
The old man of the mountain gate was unwilling to accept this, after all, Shi Chong was one of the most powerful 9-dan A-level players in the current Go world.
Moreover, how could someone who took the initiative to ask a junior for a seat in the commentary booth not have some special insight?
"Lord Shengshi, please stop teasing us. Everyone is waiting with a strong thirst for knowledge," said the gatekeeper.
Sekishi Mitsuru was both amused and exasperated. He shrugged and said seriously, "I really don't have any special insights into Luo Chen's style. In fact, in my opinion, Luo Chen should have sacrificed a piece as early as the 54th game, at the cost of losing an infantryman, to enter the middle game earlier, organize his formation, and go head-to-head with Kofuji."
"What does Lord Shengshi mean?"... The old man at the mountain gate narrowed his eyes.
"Therefore, I really can't see what Luo Chen's current behavior of forcibly protecting his son is trying to achieve. Moreover, he has been repeatedly led by Fujii, while his own formation has not even taken shape yet. This is very dangerous!"
"Luo Chen, an eighth-dan player, might be facing an opponent with a clingy style like Fujii for the first time, and he's getting a little carried away."
Ikushi shook his head.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was excited.
They were naturally unwilling to see Luo Chen lose, so the area outside the venue immediately became lively, filled with anxiety and unease.
"You can't do this! Young master of Adachi Ward, you have to win!"
"It may seem strange to call a Kanto player like you the hope of Kansai, but don't get carried away, stay calm! Luo Chen, 8th Dan!"
"Luo Chen, 8th Dan, just got it!!"
"..."
The old man at the mountain gate looked disappointed.
However, at this moment, Mitsuru Ikushi pursed his lips and said with a faint smile, "Of course, the above is just a small speculation of mine. Whether it is true or not is uncertain. Moreover, Luo Chen, 8th Dan, has always been a very distinctive young Go player. The reason I came to the commentary booth is to get closer and witness with everyone what kind of miracle Luo Chen, 8th Dan, will bring us this time."
These words, like a savior, ignited a spark of hope in the hearts of the Kansai Go players.
His eyes suddenly lit up again.
The old master of the mountain gate couldn't help but slam his hand on the table, excitedly agreeing: "That's right! This is the young devil of the Go world who defeated Uchimura Takuto 8-dan with 24 kills! Luo Chen 8-dan must have his own unique skills in playing like this!"
