Chapter 468: I just played it because he played it that way!

On the giant screen.

After the scene of Natsume Chikage suddenly checkmating Tanabe Yuto appeared.

The arena couldn't help but be in an uproar.

Under such a fast-paced chess match.

In fact, except for some particularly strong professional players, most ordinary people couldn't react at all.

Only in this situation where Tanabe Yuto paused for a long time could the shogi enthusiasts present see the details of the game.

Many shogi players with some skill changed their expressions instantly after seeing the situation clearly.

And those two shogi commentators were obviously also somewhat skilled, otherwise, they definitely couldn't have become commentators.

When the two of them also saw the situation clearly.

Both of them, who originally supported Tanabe Yuto, were instantly stunned.

The male commentator Inoue Masazo couldn't even care about commenting on the professional players' match on the side, and hurriedly commented on Natsume Chikage's side.

After all, the professional players and other players on the other side were almost all playing slow chess.

Every move required thinking for a long time before playing, so it was completely fine not to comment in a hurry, anyway, it wouldn't end for a while.

Looking at Natsume Chikage's side, the two were playing crazy fast chess, and in less than two minutes, it had already developed to "Check"!

It's conceivable how intense the battle was!

Since that's the case, if you don't comment here, where do you comment?!

And the director at this time was also very witty, directly giving Natsume Chikage's side the area that filled the entire screen.

Allowing all the spectators present to see the situation of the match more clearly.

The male commentator Inoue Masazo shook his head repeatedly and said solemnly:

"No, no, no!"

"Originally, I thought that Player Natsume, who also uses the speed-attack style, would definitely fall into a stalemate."

"But currently, it seems I was the one who was wrong."

"This Player Natsume is clearly someone who has dealt with speed-attack styles."

"But he just went the opposite way, just not using conventional countermeasures to deal with Player Tanabe."

"The most outrageous thing is that he even used the speed-attack style that Player Tanabe is most proficient in to deal with him."

"I guess Player Tanabe has rarely met such a reckless player, and after a set of combo punches, his most proficient style has instead become his burden."

"After all, the purpose of this style is to attack quickly, suppress the opponent's mentality, thereby causing them to make mistakes under this kind of rapid attack, and then directly push through in one wave."

"But Player Natsume is not like that, he just comes hard with you."

"You attack my mentality, I also attack your mentality!"

"In this situation, it depends on whose mentality is stable and who is calm enough."

"If anyone wavers first, if anyone makes a mistake first, the other party will instantly fall into a disadvantage."

"And the current Player Tanabe is clearly a step behind in mentality!"

Nanjo Maiko nodded and said:

"Mr. Inoue is absolutely right."

"However, besides this point, I think there is one most critical point."

Inoue Masazo asked curiously:

"Which point?"

Nanjo Maiko analyzed carefully:

"It is—the first move!"

Inoue Masazo suddenly realized:

"Right!"

"As everyone knows, in shogi matches, the win rate of the first move is always higher than the second move!"

"And for the speed-attack style, the win rate of the first move is also much, much higher than the second move."

"The reason is that the first move can control the direction of the first piece placed."

"While the second move can only attack after the opponent finishes the first move."

"If both sides are speed-attacking, the second move naturally falls into a lower position from the start."

"I'm really sorry to say, I really didn't expect Player Natsume to use this anti-routine style at first, it confused me too, and I really didn't realize that as the first move, he has a natural advantage in the speed-attack style."

"In this situation, Tanabe Yuto, who is speed-attacking second, will always have a one-piece gap, and even if his strength is stronger than Natsume-kun's, there is always a vague sense of disadvantage."

Nanjo Maiko sighed:

"Looking at it now, I'm afraid Natsume-kun discovered Tanabe Yuto's speed-attack routine very early, and it's fortunate that he is a player who knows how to advance and retreat."

"The first move happened to be an attack, so he just followed the plan and simply speed-attacked too!"

"He hit you by surprise, he hit you because you haven't met a reckless guy like me, he hit you with an anti-routine!"

Inoue Masazo nodded repeatedly and exclaimed:

"Right, right, that's so right!"

"Looking at it now, Natsume-kun's speed-attack is really a very correct choice!"

"After all, Tanabe Yuto has been playing speed-attacks and fast chess for so long, just because everyone is not good at this style, he is just hitting everyone of the same level who lacks experience in responding."

"But now that he meets someone who also plays speed-attacks, and is also the first move, it's really uncomfortable no matter how he plays, and even without knowing it, he was checked."

Nanjo Maiko pondered:

"However, looking at it now, Player Tanabe has not fallen into a complete dead end, as long as he thinks carefully, he still has the strength to fight."

"After all, essentially, the piece loss situation between him and Player Natsume is actually about the same."

Inoue Masazo agreed:

"Right."

"Check is only temporary, only an absolute 'checkmate' can declare a complete victory."

"So before winning, both players must please remain calm and cautious!"

However, the commentator's words could not enter the arena with huge transparent soundproof glass.

At this time in the arena.

After Tanabe Yuto was checked, the next move had not been played for a long time.

Clearly, as the player, he also understood at this moment that he was checked because of Natsume Chikage's first-move advantage.

The first-move advantage is that you can move step by step, always one step ahead of your second-move opponent.

In order to stably win.

Tanabe Yuto began to think briefly.

After a while.

He began to play again, solving the chess.

However, just after playing.

Natsume Chikage, as if without thinking, played again with lightning speed.

Clack—
