Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"I have never been in contact with a chess player like him. I am really not familiar with his style. It is even difficult to figure out what he thinks when he plays chess." Haneda Hideyoshi did not put the shogi back on the table and looked at the black and white chess pieces on the Go board next to him. , said with emotion, "Playing chess is inherently a confrontational activity. Chess players should be used to and like fighting in chess games, enjoy the sense of accomplishment of accumulating advantages bit by bit, and at the same time long for victory, so that they can hone their skills in battle after battle. To develop his own skills, he doesn't like the fighting in the chess game. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have much interest in the chess game, but he can become such a powerful master... Could it be that his talent is so strong that he doesn't need too much Is actual combat training enough for him to solve difficult endgames?"

"No, according to some official history, unofficial history, and folklore, he should have participated in many games." Chi Feichi recalled the information he had read in his previous life. "His father was a famous chess player at that time. When he was very young, his talent for Go was discovered by his father, so he began to learn Go from his father and played against many celebrities. However, his preferences in playing chess were different from other chess players. In addition to not liking When he has a head-on conflict with his opponent, he also likes to see the chessboard filled with chess pieces from both sides, especially the situation where there is not much difference in the number of black and white chess pieces. He thinks this will appear balanced and harmonious.”

Haneda Hideyoshi looked at the chessboard and said thoughtfully, "I remember you said that after he reversed the outcome of the Go game, he only won the opponent by one piece... Could this be intentional on his part? ? Just to make the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard look more balanced and harmonious?”

"It's possible that in the chess game records passed down by him, he would win a small victory after fighting with his opponent every time he played. Sometimes he would deliberately let loose in the game, allowing opponents with low level to lay a lot of things on the chessboard. Chess pieces, so none of his recorded games are very exciting, and he himself is not very famous. He is probably most famous for his method of solving endgames," Chi Feichi said, "His chess moves are very suitable for solving puzzles. In this endgame, some people in later generations thought his chess moves were strange and unpredictable. Some people studied and even imitated his chess moves, but they all failed."

"His chess moves are indeed very unique. His freewheeling style is actually very restrained by experienced chess players. It's no wonder that some people want to learn his chess moves," Haneda Hideyoshi touched his chin with his right hand and said seriously, " However, he is a different kind of chess player. Unless you have the same concepts, preferences, and thoughts as him, it will be difficult to imitate the essence of his chess moves. And if you cannot grasp the essence of intention, it will be useless to just imitate the external appearance. Instead of using it, it is better to pick out the part that you can use, and then combine it with your own habits to transform it into tactics that suit you..."

"Those who transform others live, those who destroy others advance, and those who resemble others die," Chi Feichi agreed with Haneda Hideyoshi's idea. "This law applies to masters of all walks of life."

"Those who transform others live, those who destroy others advance..."

Haneda Hideyoshi whispered Chi Feichi's words, and soon laughed again, "I can't help but think about how to break his chess strategy, but before 'breaking him', I'd better change it." He's done. Now the strategic framework of the shogi version is almost completed. I will refine the details when I go back and try to make the tactics more flexible. No matter how the progress is, I will send you an email for feedback..."

Every time he chats with Mr. Chi, he can find research goals and challenge goals that he is interested in. When he thinks that there will be many interesting challenges waiting for him to do in the future, he is full of energy and expectations, and feels that life is becoming more and more interesting. .

It was really great to chat with Mr. Chi!

Cupido Town.

Masumi Sera rummaged around in the hotel room, and followed Marie Sera to complete the second inspection of the hotel room.

"There is nothing. Even the boxes that Brother Fei Chi helped me move and the entrance door that he walked through, I have searched all over, and I haven't found anything suspicious..."

"This is normal," Sera Marie returned to sit down on the sofa and said calmly, "After you left the room, he has been sitting on the sofa studying the drug dealer's code, without getting up and moving around. I stared at it from the balcony. He didn't find anything suspicious."

Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the bedroom, "Since Brother Feichi has been staying near the sofa, why do you want me to go to the bedroom to check?"

"Just in case, although he has not been close, it is more reassuring to check. The same goes for the toilet and bathroom. Anyway, we have enough time to check," Sera Marie said with a calm face, "Now after confirmation, We can feel completely at ease, right?"

"Yes, it seems that Brother Fei Chi has no interest in investigating us," Sera Masumi said thoughtfully, holding his chin with his right hand, "and Conan should have concealed his true identity from him, even the one named Hui The girls of Yuan Ai seem to share secrets with Conan, but they don't plan to tell Brother Fei Chi. However, when they encounter problems, they will ask Brother Fei Chi for help, and Conan will ask Brother Fei Chi if he knows about his sister outside the realm. 'What do you mean, that girl will ask Brother Fei Chi for help when she encounters a code... Why didn't Conan tell Brother Fei Chi about his situation? Didn't he think of asking Brother Fei Chi for help? "

"If it were me, I wouldn't say anything," Sera Marie said firmly, "The enemies are all dangerous guys. We must be careful when choosing allies. And since Mr. Chi doesn't know the inside story, they probably don't want to Let’s get Mr. Chi involved.”

"Don't you want to get others into trouble? This is indeed his style..." Shiliang Zhenzhun murmured, and then asked proactively, "We can now confirm that Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Fei Chi are not insiders. Then, can we avoid them in our next actions?"

Sera Marie nodded, "Especially Chi Feichi, he is much sharper than those two girls. We try not to attract his attention again. If he is interested in investigating us and joins forces with that boy, we will face There is a lot of pressure, and we may not be able to keep our secrets. I really don’t want to expose all my cards before they show them..."

Seven Detective Agency.

Haneda Hideyoshi helped Ike Feichi clean up the chessboard. Hearing that Nanatsuki Koshizu would not go home for dinner tonight and Ike Feichi was the only one eating at home, he took the initiative to invite Ike Feichi to go out for a special ramen meal.

After dinner, the two agreed to contact each other later when they were free, and they separated at the street corner.

Chi Fei returned to the Seven Detective Office late and used the computer to read the "Meteorite Identification Guide" sent to him by Kotaro Takiguchi. He stopped at about eight o'clock in the evening and drove to pick up Nanatsuki Koshimizu after completing the day's investigation. .
