Yushan Kazuto's fingers moved rapidly on the chessboard, and the game soon returned to the state it was in at the eighteenth move.
"In the 19th move, Xiao Ai made a big mistake, which caused you to be passive and in trouble until the end."
Yushan Kazuto said slowly.
Hinazuru Ai blinked slightly, stared at the chessboard, and recalled her moves at that time.
However, Yushan Kazuto pushed the chess piece and helped Hinazuru Ai remember.
"But Tianyi, you didn't make a good move either. If it were me, I would have forced Xiaoai to surrender within ten moves of hers." Yushan Heren looked at the Yaksha God Tianyi again.
Yaksha God Tianyi's eyes flickered as he looked at the chessboard, but he couldn't figure out anything.
Yushan Kazuto pushed Yashagami Tenyi's flying car and arrived at the area three lines behind Hinazuru Ai, and the flying car was upgraded to Dragon King.
Hinazaru Ai's eyes flickered: "But if that's the case, won't the Dragon King be eaten?"
"Do you dare to eat it?" Yushan Heren asked with a smile.
Hinazaru Ai stared at the chessboard and finally found the hidden piece on it. If she eats the Dragon King that was put into her mouth, Hinazaru Ai's own king will be in danger!
But if she doesn’t eat this Dragon King... Hinazaru Ai gritted her teeth.
If he doesn't eat the Dragon King, it would be as if Yushan Kazuto had stuffed a nail into his own chessboard. No matter how Hinazuru Ai plays, she will be restrained by this nail, and in the end, she will still lose the game.
However, this move is indeed hard to see, and Yaksha Shen Tianyi is not the type to take risks, so it is normal that he did not notice it.
Hinazuru Ai lowered her head. This move was really fatal. In a sense, making such a move was already a loss.
"In the following games, both sides made small mistakes, but I won't go into details. I'll just start again from the 18th move." Yushan Heren said.
Kong Yinzi sat up straight. What she wanted to see most was Yushan playing chess with others. Every time she watched, she would gain a lot of insights, especially when comparing with the previous games.
Yushan Heren didn't care about the three people watching and placed the pieces quickly. The sounds of "pa" and "pa" were heard continuously. Before they could react, they had already fought for hundreds of moves and finally ended with 162 moves.
"In the end,... did Tianyi still win?" Hinazuru Ai said somewhat unwillingly.
"Well, Tianyi's layout is indeed unique. After removing the problem of dragging things out, it can be considered a considerable advantage." Yushan Heren said.
After Yaksha Shen Tianyi changed the way of playing chess, his original advantages were not abandoned, but were well preserved. This is worth mentioning.
"But there is still a problem with your chess, Tianyi. It's too mechanical. Every move is too neat. Just from this game of chess, I saw more than a dozen fixed patterns and six or seven chess records." Yushan Heren said with a blink.
Yakshashen Tianyi nodded slightly. Currently she is still in the stage of imitating and learning.
"It's not that following the chess manual is bad, but you played too stiffly. It feels like you were copying and pasting. If Xiao Ai's basics weren't weak, she could also use the methods in the chess manual to fight back against you."
Hayama Kazuto said
As he was talking, he came to Hinazuru Ai.
Hinazuru Ai has never undergone any systematic shogi training. She has been figuring things out on her own all the way, and has improved with the guidance of Yushan Kazuto. Naturally, her basics are weak.
When she heard Yushan Kazuto mention her, Hinazuru Ai lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
"Don't take the chess records as your standard. With your talents, you two will definitely leave many chess records and be recorded in the history of shogi in the future."
"The right choice is to treat them as equals, taking their essence and discarding their dross," Yushan Kazuto continued.
Yakshashen Tianyi blinked gently.
[Are chess manual authors treated as equals? ]
"As for Xiao Ai, you have to pay attention to one thing: plan before you act! Shogi is just like Go. A game of shogi can be divided into three stages: opening, middle, and closing. In each stage, there are different choices."
"You need to be cautious in the layout stage, and try not to leave too obvious loopholes. In the middle game, if your computing power is outstanding, you can guide it towards the killing. As for the end, if you have an advantage, you must choose to be steady. If you are at a disadvantage, you need to be more patient. Unless the disadvantage is very clear, it is time to choose a do-or-die battle."
Chapter 972: Mock Exam
"In the previous game, you were obviously too aggressive at the 19th move, wanting to end the game quickly."
"But you didn't see the move that would lead to your victory, nor did you notice the danger behind you. Just when the layout was about to be completed, you chose to fight with your back to the wall."
"This is a big problem. You didn't choose the right time. To put it more seriously, from a macro perspective, you don't have a plan for playing chess!"
"Of course, having no rules can mean being chaotic or doing whatever you want. I believe you can reach the state of doing whatever you want in the future, but for now, you may need to brush up on the basics of shogi."
"Playing methods, set patterns, and chess records all need to be accumulated."
"Of course, too much is as bad as too little. You shouldn't be constrained by things like chess manuals."
Hayama Kazuto blinked slightly, while Hinazuru Ai kept her head down.
"How about this, Tianyi, you write down the chess record you used in this game. In the next week, let Xiaoai learn the chess record of this game, as well as the interpretations of the games by future generations." Yushan Heren looked at Yaksha God Tianyi.
"Okay, Demon Lord." Yakshashen Tianyi nodded. She was still not used to calling Yushan Heren by his nickname.
"You can call me Yushan, or call me Brother Kazuto like Xiaoai, but don't call me Demon Lord." Yushan Kazuto said somewhat awkwardly.
Although many people have called him the Demon Lord, Yushan Kazuto did not feel embarrassed when only Charlotte called him by this nickname. It might be because Charlotte's voice was sweet and full of childishness.
"Then... Kazuto, brother." Yashashin Tianyi called out cautiously.
Hinazuru Ai raised her head, stared at Yushan Kazuto, then lowered her head reluctantly.
Kazuto Yuyama blinked slightly. Why did Kazuto Yuyama feel a little embarrassed when Yashagami Ten'i called him "Kazuto-brother"?
"Okay, judging from the looks of you all, I think you all have gained something. I'll go check on Rikka's learning progress and come back later." Yushan Kazuto stood up and stretched.
Kong Yinzi nodded. The chess game between Yushan and the other person just now had given her some insights, and now was the time to reap the rewards.
Yashashen Tianyi said, "Brother Kazuto, can you give me a pen and a notebook?"
Yushan Kazuto nodded, walked to the coffee table and tapped it lightly a few times. Then Doma Mei handed over a notebook and a pen in a sullen manner.
"I knew you didn't study hard." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
Tsuchimiya pursed his lips, snorted lightly, and lowered his head again.
Hayama Kazuto handed the paper and pen to Yashagami Teni before sitting next to Takanashi Rikka. Takanashi Rikka cooperated very well and handed the information to Hayama Kazuto, so Hayama Kazuto didn't have to say much.
"You've done a good job. More than 30% has been completed in a week." Looking at the progress of Rikka Takanashi, Kazuto Yuyama couldn't help but praise her.
Rikka Takanashi didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. In fact, she was also a little proud of the progress she had made in a week.
"But the dark circles under your eyes have become much darker." Yushan Kazuto laughed.
Because one eye is covered with an eyepatch, people's attention is involuntarily focused on the eyepatch, and few people notice the dark circles under Rikka Takanashi's eyes.
More than 30% of the data was completed in a week, not only because of the improved efficiency of Rikka Takanashi, the most crucial reason was the efforts of Rikka Takanashi.
"It seems that the website issue needs to be put on the agenda." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Generating the website is not difficult, Hui-chan can complete it in a moment. The most important thing is the selection of information and data adjustment, which are more difficult for Hui-chan to do, so Yushan Kazuto has to do it himself.
Although some materials have been prepared, they are still a little insufficient to enrich the question bank. The weights of different test questions also need to be proportioned by Yushan and others.
Rikka Takanashi lowered her head, not wanting Kazuto Yuyama to see the dark circles under her eyes.
"Can everything be completed before next Friday?" asked Kazuto Yushan.
Rikka Takanashi said softly, "It should be possible."
"Then you can sign up for the national mock exam for junior high school students and give it a try. After you finish studying, you will also need an exam to verify your learning results." Yushan Heren said.
"National mock exam for junior high school students?" Rikka Takanashi was a little confused.
"It's called a national mock exam, but it's actually a voluntary registration. Most of the participants are first- and second-year junior high school students who are doing well in their studies. But for you, don't compare yourself with others. Just treat this exam as a test of your own achievements." Yushan Kazuto said.
After hearing what Hayama Kazuto said, Rikka Takanashi was a little discouraged: "Sanae, Koumeiro, have you ever participated in this exam?"
"I took the exam when I was in the first and second year of junior high school, but I haven't registered for the third year exam yet." Doma said.
Toumori Sanae blinked and said, "I participated in the competition in the first grade and won first place. Then I skipped a grade."
"So, what about you, Envoy?" Rikka Takanashi asked timidly, "Are there no mock exams in high schools?"
Although Rikka Takanashi's way of addressing Sanae Toumori has changed in front of others, she still calls Kazuto Hayama the messenger.
"Well, I also participated in it when I was in the first and second year of junior high school. As for those in high school, I don't have any ideas for now." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"If you participate, Liuhua, I and
You come along." Toumori Sanae said.
Rikka Takanashi's expression was somewhat conflicted. She wanted to check her results, but was also a little afraid of this kind of test where there were so many experts.
"You should think about it carefully. You should be able to sign up before next Friday, but the registration channel will be closed at midnight on Friday morning." Yushan Heren said.
"Yeah." Rikka Takanashi responded.
Due to the slightly awkward timing, few people from the graduating class would take the mock exam.
At this time, most students who are about to graduate are preparing for the national unified examinations and private school entrance examinations. The mock exams are more like a stage for freshmen and sophomores to compete with each other.
However, even so, the questions in the third-grade mock exam are more for reference. Kazuto Hayama encouraged Rikka Takanashi to participate in order to help her adapt to the exam.
After returning the information to Rikka Takanashi, Kazuto Hayama stood up and walked to the sofa.
Yukinoshita Yukino was leaning on the edge of the sofa reading a book.
She usually wouldn't use this posture, but today her right foot was injured and she had no choice.
However, when Yukinoshita Yukino leaned to the side, Yushan Kazuto felt his heart beating faster.
Chapter 973: Shyness under the Snow
[Why didn’t I realize that Yukinoshita Yukino is quite girly. 】
Yushan Kazuto blinked gently, sat on the sofa, lowered his head, and gently rubbed Yukinoshita Yukino's right foot.
Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly felt a pain and looked at Yushan Kazuto with some displeasure. Pain and shame intertwined on Yukinoshita Yukino's face, making her bite her red lips lightly.
"It looks much better." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly. She did feel a lot better than before.
Doma Mai, who was sitting next to the coffee table, couldn't help but clench her pen. If you look closely, her expression at this moment is somewhat similar to that of Yukinoshita Yukino, she also clenched her teeth, but the anger in her expression was a little deeper.
"Don't we have to play chess anymore?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked in a low voice.
"Let them digest it first." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
If they let go of the research, the game of chess between Yushan and Ren Zuo would be enough for Kong Yinzi and the other two to study for a week or even longer.
However, the three of them would not be stupid enough to fight to the death on that game of chess. They would absorb some of the essence that is easier to obtain and choose to give up at the right time.
It is not a great skill to study a game of chess thoroughly. It is just like doing a math problem. You spend a day studying a math problem and finally complete it. But if a variation of the problem comes up later, you will probably still not be able to solve it. Learning the method is the real key.
……
The day passed quickly, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already setting.
There is no way around it. It is only February now, and it is not spring yet in Tokyo! It is not until mid-March when the cherry blossoms in Tokyo bloom that spring officially arrives.
It is still winter now, so it is normal for the sky to get darker.
"Do you need my support?" Yushan Kazuto stood beside Yukinoshita Yukino.
After a day of rest, Yukinoshita Yukino had barely regained her ability to move, but it was still a little painful when she walked.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Yushan Kazuto and still grabbed Yushan Kazuto's arm. So many things had happened today, and she didn't mind one more thing happening.
However, Kazuto Yuyama smiled and supported Yukinoshita Yukino. With the support of Kazuto Yuyama, the pain in her foot was obviously relieved a little.
Seeing Tsuchima Umi walking to the door and preparing to change her shoes, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say, "Umi-chan, why don't you go down?"
"Hmm? Why?" Tsuchima blinked slightly.
"I'm sending Sanae and Rikka back today, so I probably won't be back until late." Yushan Kazuto said.
This matter had been agreed upon before. It's not that the driver of Touma Sanae's family went on strike, but mainly because Yuyama Kazuto was planning to go to Yuuki Asuna's place today.
"Okay, well." Tsuchima said reluctantly.
Yushan Kazuto smiled and nodded, then closed the door.
……
"Okay, we'll drop you off here. Have a safe trip, Yukinoshita." Yuyama Kazuto sent Yukinoshita Yukino to the car and waved with a smile.
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, but her eyes flickered.
"I'll be leaving now. I have to take Sanae and Rikka home."
