"Audiences, today is the day when the third Dragon Star Battle Preliminary starts...

"Dragon Star Battle is a professional Go event funded by this channel. Although it only lasts three years, it attracts a large number of high-level chess players every year. This year, seniors such as Zhao Zhixun, Daiju Hero and others will also participate. In this stage of the competition a week later, please continue to pay attention...

"Look at it, that's the newly rising star of the chess world, Hiroshi Chihara! He just entered the section last month. I believe that many viewers have enough knowledge of Mr. Chihara's achievements, so this channel will not be launched. And since we understand, the Dragon Star Wars is the first professional event that Mr. Chihara participated! Next, we will continue to track and report on Mr. Chihara's situation..."

When the cameraman made an OK gesture, the female reporter breathed a sigh of relief, put down the microphone at her mouth and asked:

"How about it?"

The cameraman smiled and said:

"Although it's a bit different from the plan, it should be a good result after handling it."

The female reporter wiped the sweat from her forehead:

Originally, according to the situation in the previous two years, there were only videographers in the preliminary rounds to shoot some clips to be used as post-story screenshots.

But the situation this year is different. Hiroshi Chihara chose the Dragon Star Battle for his first professional event!

What does the media want?

——Of course it’s the topic!

The female reporter volunteered to interview with this kind of thought. Although she encountered a nail, she did not give up.

"We are waiting here. The Dragon Star Battle game ends very quickly. It usually takes two hours, at most three hours. Just wait here."

...

After parting with Takayasu Misawa, under the guidance of the event staff, Hiroshi Chihara walked into the fifth chess room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure that he had not seen for a long time in the corner of the chess room.

"Hello, Liu Rendong, long time no see!" Chihara Hiroshi walked forward and greeted him.

The other party was still the character he remembered. He raised his head slightly, responded in a low voice, and then was silent.

There was no one around the boy, unlike the others in the chess room, who almost all gathered together in groups of three or three.

Hiroshi Chihara leaned against the wall beside him, looking at the waiting chess players, from teenagers, young people, middle-aged people, all ages, and similar to the situation outside, people secretly glanced at him from time to time.

He thought:

Is this isolated?

The reason why he was isolated was the amazing achievements he achieved was on the one hand and on the other hand the controversies he caused;

And the other party...

Hiroshi Chihara looked at the boy beside him, recalling the first time he met last year and the attitudes of Satoshi Okawa and others. Obviously, personality is the main reason.

"By the way, when I met you last year, was it still the fourth tier? Did you get promoted this year?"

Liu Rendong replied in a low voice:

“The points are a little short.”

The so-called points are the scores of big hand combinations. Each rank has different points requirements:

If you are diligent and have a good winning rate, it is basically not a problem for you to have one paragraph a year;

After the fourth stage, the speed is not that fast.

Chihara Hiroshi nodded:

"I see……

"Since you can see you here, did you fail to enter the quarterfinals last year?"

He remembered that the opponent was the champion of the Rookie Cup two years ago and a chess player who was equal to Jiuli Shin-chan. He could not evaluate the opponent's chess power by rank.

But even so, he failed to advance to the top 16 of the Dragon Star Battle two years ago?

Only the previous top 16 have the right to be exempted from the preliminaries and directly participate in this competition.

Liu Rendong's voice has no fluctuations:

"I'm not good at playing fast chess and didn't participate last year."

"I see……"

Seeing his appearance, Chihara Hiroshi was embarrassed to throw out the topic of "Why attend this year?"

However, after a moment, the other party's voice sounded:

“My father asked me to sign up.”

Although his voice did not change, Chihara Hiroshi vaguely noticed the hidden truth behind this sentence, but this kind of topic was difficult to ask.

The conversation was interrupted again.

Fortunately, the referee's words saved the awkward atmosphere between the two:

"Dear chess players, good morning everyone, I am the referee of the fifth chess room...

"There are 32 players participating in this chess room. They will adopt the single-elimination system and select 8 people to enter the roster of this competition...

"Before entering the stadium, you have already drawn the lottery. Next, please sit in the seat marked with the corresponding number. We will also check again based on the record form when entering the stadium..."

...

When entering the chess room, Matsuno found his seat number and sat down at the position.

At this time, he was leaning leisurely on the back of the chair, raising his legs, looking at the other chess players looking for a position, and observing which one was his opponent today.

At the end of last year, he had just advanced to the seventh stage of his career. He was very proud of his chess skills and still had a good chance of entering this game.

As long as you don't encounter it...

Matsuno looked at the two teenagers in the corner - Hiroshi Chihara and Indo Yoo.

Needless to say, Hiroshi Chihara, no matter who encounters it, he will probably be unable to escape defeat;

Although Liu Rendong has been somewhat blocked by Hiroshi Chihara since last year, he has also been a widely watched genius chess player since two years ago.

There are also several chess players, although they are a bit troublesome, as long as they do not make mistakes, they are not difficult.

When Matsuno saw Liu Rendong sitting down, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw that his opponent was a chess player who had some celebrations with him, he couldn't help but gloating.

——Are you eliminated in the first round? It’s so miserable!

He even planned a phone call after the game, and had lunch today, so he had to eat two more bowls!

"Hello, can you sit upright? The chess table seems to be a little shaky."

ha?

The legs of the chair finally landed, while Matsuno tilted his head and asked in a murmuring tone:

"Hiroshi Chihara?"

"Yeah, it's me."

Chihara Hiroshi smiled and sat down opposite him.

In an instant, Matsuno's heart fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, and when his eyes swept over the chess player who had a feud with him, he saw that the other party's face immediately turned from dark to sunny, and his smile was extremely bright.

Hiroshi Chihara didn't know the other party's psychological changes, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He took out the folding fan from his pocket and held it in his hand. At the same time, he placed the key, watch, chocolate bar and water cup next to the table.

"Next, the first round of the Dragon Star Battle qualifiers will officially begin!"

With the referee's order, various sayings of "Please give me more advice" sounded in the chess room one after another.

Qianhara Hiroshi raised his head, his eyes as if there was divine light.

Both sides began to guess first.

The other party's movements were a little stiff, and he also reminded him softly. The other party let go of his fists and the chess pieces inside fell one after another.

The one who holds black is Hiroshi Chihara.

He grabbed the black piece in the chess box and fell down "da"-
