Dear friends, Old Shaw is back...
I don't feel that I have been in conflict with everyone for more than 20 days, as if I am in another world...
The illness was raging and more serious than expected. It seems that there are almost no signs, but the cause of the disease has been buried as early as more than ten years of indulgent life, and once it breaks out, it can only slowly repay the debt. Lying in the hospital ushered in the 2018 that I once thought I might not be able to wait, I can't send New Year's wishes to everyone, here's a sentence: all friends, the new year is all right!
For more than twenty days, I could not touch the computer, almost isolated from the world, missed many wonderful stories in the chess world, and failed to share them with you in time, which is a pity and more apologetic. I was very touched that many friends were caring for Lao Xiao, and the greetings in various ways made me not want to give up when it hurt the most. Forgive me for not thanking me for the time being, take advantage of being able to access the Internet, quickly update an article, tell everyone that "I am still there", do not worry about it.
There are many wonderful games during this time, and everyone must have feasted their eyes, so I will not continue to sable, or start a new journey from Mr. Kato's famous game series. December 30 was Mr. Kato's death anniversary, and I wanted to make a commemorative special for him on that day, but the "accident" came earlier than "tomorrow", so I had to pay tribute to Mr. Kato's former famous game many days later.
Lao Xiao is not cured of his illness now, he is still in a long recovery stage, but he is really not willing to lie on the hospital bed all the time. At present, it is still impossible to eat normally, talk is also very affected, there are too many uncontrollable factors, so for the time being, it is not guaranteed that it can be updated every day, and it may still be natural and not force yourself. I hope to be able to slowly get better and return to the happy life of being able to do "Desperate Sanlang" (cough, daughter-in-law said, you don't want you toss yourself again) ~ The following days, in the case of my ability, in addition to the daily good situation, I will also bring some feelings of writing about this hospitalization, which is some archiving of this unforgettable memory, I hope it can be completed.
Hanging water every day, the head has become numb, the thinking is seriously dull, the writing text has lost its feelings, and the inappropriate place is Haihan.
May we see each other tomorrow, may we see each other every day
In 1990, Masao Kato lost 2–3 to Taisho Hane in the Battle of the Throne, handing over the crown of the Eight Leagues of Champions and becoming the Uncrowned King. However, a generation of swordsmanship will not fall, and in the following years, Mr. Kato, who is in his forties, is still stubbornly attacking the peak of the chess world.
In 1991, Mr. Kato won the right to challenge the chess saint for the third time, but he lost 3-4 to Koichi Kobayashi and still could not climb to the throne of "Japan's first man". This year, he challenged Lin Haifeng's Tianyuan title, and he had already lost 1-3, only defeating Otake Hero in the NEC Cup final.
In 1992, Kato defeated Koichi Kobayashi in the final to win the NEC Cup and won the chess streak of the Chess Awards with 16 consecutive wins, but he did not succeed in the seven major chess matches.
In 1993, Mr. Kato won the right to challenge the chess saint again, and forced Kobayashi Koichi into a desperate situation 3-1 early, but the fourth victory was delayed, and finally reversed, and the fourth challenge failed. This year, Kato ranked second in the NHK Cup, NEC Cup, and Crane Holy War fast chess tournaments, and seems to have returned to the bleak years of the "Second Thousand Years". However, in the battle for the throne, which was the deepest with him, Kato made a comeback, and defeated several powerful tycoons such as Yamashiro Hiroshi, Satoshi Kataoka, Cho Jixun, and Noriki Ieda, and once again stepped onto the challenge stage and prepared for restoration.
The reigning throne at the time was the legendary chess player Hideyuki Fujisawa. After Hagen took the throne title from Kato, the following year (1991), Mr. Hideyuki leapt out on horseback, knocked down Hane 3-1, ascended to the throne, and created a new legend of winning the title of Seven Chess Games at the age of 66. What is even more rare is that in 1992, Japan's first man Kobayashi Koichi challenged the throne title, and Mr. Hideyuki, who was not optimistic before the game, rose to his power, repelled Kobayashi 3-2, won the throne, and set a record of 67 years old winning the seven major chess games.
In the face of such a respectable Mr. Hideyuki, returning to the familiar throne challenge stage, Masao Kato is also full of emotions in his heart! In the second chess holy war challenge in 1978, it was Hideyuki who reversed Masao Kato in a desperate situation of 1-3, and fifteen years later, the two legends fought again, and the years have carved deep marks on them, but the pursuit of chess has never changed.
In the five-game victory and defeat challenge, Kato came up and went down two cities in a row, and the third set became a backwater battle for Mr. Hideyuki.
Will the familiar "Kato Throne" return?
Japan's 41st Throne Challenge was won and defeated in the third round

As early as 1967-1969, Mr. Hideyuki achieved a triple succession of thrones. In the history of the Battle of the Throne, he was second only to Masao Kato and Eio Sakata (Later Zhang Xu won the championship seven times, surpassing Hideyuki and equaling Sakata).
First spectrum 1-50
In the battle of the cliff with his back to him, Mr. Xiuxing took the black first, and at that time it was still 5 and a half eyes of black paste.
White 4 preemptively hung the horn, and Kato posed positively.
Black 7 chooses to pinch rather than "the tip of Xiu Strategy", and Xiu Xing also pursues initiative.
White 8, black 9 go their separate ways, and black 13 grab the demolition side field.
When the white 14 hangs the horn, the black 15 selection point shows Mr. Xiuxing's gorgeous idea.
White 16 calm, black 17 and then put pressure on White 14.
White 18 below is a concise set.
Black 29 hung high angles, expecting a good shape on the left side of the cloth, and white 30 gave a resolute counterattack.
The two sides moved the small eye stereotype to the star angle, eclectic.
Black 35 forced, white 38, 40 rush is a good hand looking for conversion.
Black 45 Rush, Mr. Hideyuki's "habitual" casual! This hand single walk 47 bits is positive, so the white 46 is not the first hand, the difference is very large.
White 46 is also good to go 47 bits first, which can make the mid-abdomen turn head become the first hand.
However, after the white 48 tip contacted, it was still the white chess that took advantage.
White 50 demolition, Kato judgment is clear, ready to abandon the middle of the three sons.
Second Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 51-100)
White 2 below from the upper right corner, the middle abdomen placed do not go, Xianming.
Black 9 touch is a strong hand, and black 11 breaks form a complex battle.
When the white 12 is long, the choice of black 13 and 15 is very problematic, which is the root cause of the failure of the game, and at this time, the single 19th place is the right move.
White 16 can be pasted first, and the difference in thickness and thickness of the middle abdomen is too large.
White 18, 20 threaten the black chess above, black 21 can only jump out.
White 22 punches, 24 fights, black chess right side of the momentum disappeared, Kato established the advantage.
Black 25 still has to make up chess, white 26 escapes the three sons, and black chess is obviously hard fighting.
The white 30 plucked flowers happily, and the two sides of the mid-abdomen ran against each other.
White 32 below is solid and powerful, and after the white 40 is roughly connected, the black chess is very thin.
Black 41 scrambles are the winners and losers.
White 46 is lower, and the black chess corner does not dare to respond again.
White 50 is forced, and the black chess dragon needs to survive.
Third Spectrum 1-32 (i.e. 101-132)
Black 3 and 5 counterattacked, and Mr. Xiuxing fought fiercely.
White 6, 8 good hands.
White 12 pulled first, good order, leaving the follow-up means of White 16 punch.
After the white 22 is broken, the black chess piece is fragmented, and the black 23 has no choice but to make up the chess, otherwise the two chess tendons will be eaten.
The white 24 figure is poor dagger, and the black 29 stubborn struggle is also futile.
Black 31 is not a robbery, white 32 plays to eat, the left black chess piece is eaten, the middle abdomen black chess piece still has to make up the chess, there is no time to eat the left bottom white chess.
Hideyuki-sensei Exhilarating pitcher.
In this way, Masao Kato defeated Hideyuki Fujisawa with three consecutive victories and returned to the throne, which was also his 11th time to win the throne title, such a good result is admirable.
This year, Mr. Kato's total score was 40 wins and 22 losses, and he won the most match awards and the most victory awards of the Chess Award, once again becoming the pinnacle of the chess world.
The return of the king, and this is not Mr. Kato's last glory, after which he will create even greater miracles.
