On the last day of March, Japan's 42nd Celebrity War kicked off. Japan's traditional seven-title battle provides matchmaking and income opportunities for all professional chess players, and in the initial qualifier stage, many senior players have played, which is also a difficult scene to see in today's chess world.
Lin Haifeng, who is nearly seventy-four years old, is already an elderly player in the world chess world, but in this qualifier, he played against Seifu Kono, who was two years older than himself. Born in 1940, Kono is currently a five-dan son, with his son Kono Takashi-hachi. Seio Kono's career was uneventful, and the Japan Chess Academy's personal resume column only had the distant 1978 chess holy war three-dan group champion. In that year, Lin Haifeng was already a big celebrity at the top of the Japanese chess world. It can be said that in the youth and middle age of the two, Kono Seifu was completely unable to compete with Lin Haifeng.
However, in the ancient rare years, due to the inevitable decline in strength with physical factors, Kono Seifu and Lin Haifeng could actually compete on the chessboard. This game of chess Lin Haifeng took the black first, when the white △ long attacked the black dragon, the black 1 tiger counterattacked, and did not expect to be hit by the strong hand of the white 2 clip. In this regard, black 3 squeezed out the white chess piece, and was beaten inside by the white 4, and this local Lin teacher probably made a serious mistake.
Since then, although the black chess piece has first removed the five sons of the white chess piece, the lower right piece has been disconnected by the white chess piece. Black 5 jump when the white 6 rush, the exhaustive black chess had to choose the method of turning, black 7 after the 11, 13 rush, the first hand to get a little cheap back to the 19th fly. But in any case, the unconditional death of the black chess piece in the right next battle suffered heavy losses, although Teacher Lin stubbornly fought to the end of the game, he still lost with an eleven-and-a-half-eye difference.
Another senior chess player battle on March 31 appeared in the first round of the 6th Masters Cup. The Masters Cup is a senior tournament held by the Japan Chess Academy for star chess players over the age of 50, and the qualifiers and the list of this tournament are described in the seventeenth episode of this week's newspaper. This game of chess was played between Kunio Ishii and Masaki Takemiya, who defeated Hiroshi Yamashiro in the qualifiers to achieve a thousand victories in his career, coincidentally, in the 3rd Masters Cup three years ago, Masaki Takemiya and Kunio Ishii met in the first round, and as a result, Ishii Kunio passed two levels in a row after winning the dragon slaughter, and reached the final in a cold manner.
However, three years have passed, and Masaki Takemiya is already sixty-five years old, and Ishii Kunio is seventy-five years old. Kuni Ishii, who was black in this game, played the opening game of the beloved disciple Yuta Izuyama - two small eyes facing each other, and the portal opened to give way to the opponent in the direction of the hanging angle, which has to be said to be a kind of layout fun. In the lower left corner of the white 14 clip, the black 15 jumped up and then the 17 shoulders rushed to form an ancient stereotype, which also had the meaning of curbing the "cosmic flow" of the Wugong Masaki.
However, Wugong Masaki has been sought after by thousands of fans for decades, and one of the major reasons is that no matter what kind of situation makes Wugong come down, a few hands bloom bright flowers in the midfield, constituting a beautiful external situation, and even quickly transforming into real emptiness. This is the case in this game, although the black chess piece laid a position on the outside, but the white 1 jumped back to the 5 big fly after pretending to attack two hands, and then the white 7 crawled on the upper right to move out, to get the first hand under the white 11 tip, and then when the 21 flying town, people found that the center of the chessboard was still exclusive to the territory of the Wu Palace. The result of this game also ended with a big victory in the white chess game.
At present, the first round of 16 of the 6th Japan Masters Cup has ended seven sets, in addition to Masaki Takemiya's victory over Kunio Ishii, there are also Otake hero Katsu Kudo Norio, Awaji Shusei Mitsukazu Hayashi Haifeng, Wang Minghu to win Satoshi Kataoka, Masaki Koji katsu Hane Taisho, Ishida Yoshio katsu Cho Ji-hoon, especially the three-time champion Zhao Zhixun's exit is surprising. Last year, Masaki Takemiya reached the final in the 5th Masters Cup, but unfortunately lost to his brother Zhao Zhixun and was relegated to the second place. This year, the master and disciple are out early, can Takemiya Masaki fulfill his dream of "winning the cosmic stream"?
