Utaro Hashimoto's character story

After Honebo was recaptured by Gao Chuan, the flags of 45-year-old Hashimoto and Kansai Chess Academy seemed to be shortened, and the whole chess world was wondering: "Can Hashimoto make a comeback?" At this moment, in the 28th year of Showa (1953), the second most famous title war in Japan-the battle for the throne came out.

After a fierce battle, Hashimoto defeated Maeda Qiduan and won the title of the throne. Hashimoto's rapid fall and climb made Kansai's handsome flag more upright. Seeing that Honebo was "returned to Zhao intact", the Japanese Chess Institute held a high-level meeting and decided to refuse players from Kansai Chess Institute to participate in the Honebo War. Fortunately, the daily news agency broke out in the middle and overturned this decision in time, otherwise it would cause more riots. Due to the huge amount of money sponsored by the Daily News Agency for the Honebo War, Japanese chess houses dare not belittle themselves and make trouble without reason.

However, even though Kansai's participation in the war was recognized out of helplessness, harsh conditions were attached, such as requiring Kei Tani, Liu Qing hero and Matsuura Jiyang to pass the "chess trial" before participating in Honebo, thinking that "it is enough for the Japanese chess institute to judge whether they are qualified to participate."

Of course, Kansai Chess Academy can't accept this insulting condition, so it is required to change to a temporary match between Kansai Chess Academy and Japanese Chess Academy. Thanks to the mediation of the daily news agency, Kansai's request has finally come true.

Gu Mo vs Seto, Liu Qing vs Nakagawa, Matsuura vs Gao Qiao, six five-segment enemies confronted each other head-on. As a result, three people from Kansai Chess Institute won. However, newspapers, chess and cards magazines all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and said nothing about this temporary confrontation.

In the 28th year of Showa (1953), Takaji Hashimoto of Kansai Chess Institute advanced to the sixth stage. At that time, * * * and the news agency had proposed to hold the elimination tournament for senior players in the East and West Yards. Hashimoto Tōru signed up for the competition, but because the Japanese Chess Institute refused to recognize Hashimoto Tōru as the sixth stage, she planned to abort.

In the 8th Huoningbo War in the same year, the Japanese Chess Institute still wrote articles on this issue. In addition to insisting that Kansai Chess Institute can only agree to participate in the competition on the premise of conditions, it also attacked Hashimoto Changji, saying that at the beginning of Kansai's independence, his three certificates were issued by Japanese Chess Institute, and later certificates were all from Kansai Chess Institute, not "genuine" and so on. It seems that Japanese chess houses not only regard Hashimoto's six paragraphs as five paragraphs, but even just want to recognize three paragraphs. That is to say, in their eyes, the promotion of Kansai Chess House is too easy, except for Utaro Hashimoto, everyone will automatically subtract one to three paragraphs when they arrive in Tokyo! After some twists and turns, regarding whether Hashimoto can play in Honebo, he finally decided to examine his strength from his chess book to confirm his qualification.

Whenever Kansai soldiers are discriminated against, Hashimoto Tōru always feels wronged and becomes more and more anxious. He thought: Kansai Chess Academy must be expanded as soon as possible! Otherwise, it is difficult to compete with Japanese chess houses.

In the 29th year of Showa (1954), Hashimoto Tōru was promoted to Jiu Duan, becoming the third Jiu Duan after Fujisawa Kuranosuke and Wu Qingyuan. Hashimoto, who has always valued his real name more than fame, has never thought too much about his promotion. A fire in his heart is purely for the development of Kansai Chess Academy. Although Honebo was retrieved by the Japanese Chess Institute, he still has another big crown-the throne.

In the 30th year of Showa (1955), the third battle for the throne began. Hashimoto Tōru went out in high spirits, and won the throne again with a score of 2- 1 after winning three games with the famous Japanese chess player Guang Jun Shimamoto.

In the fourth battle of the throne in the second year, Hashimoto won two consecutive victories, defeating the crazy challenge of Sakata Rongfu and winning the throne again. So far, Hashimoto has won the throne three times, each time winning the last game and winning half an eye, so people call Hashimoto the "half-eye throne" with admiration. In this regard, Hashimoto smiled gently: "It's just luck." However, it is not difficult for careful people to find that behind that wry smile, there are many tragic things waiting to come back.

At that time, the "Ten Chess Wars" between Wu Qingyuan and Fujisawa Kuranosuke ran aground because of the war of words between Fujisawa and Yomiuri Shimbun. Later, the two sides called a truce, which finally achieved the world-famous decisive battle between Wu and Fujisawa. As a result, at the age of 30, Fujisawa was the first to rise to the ninth section and became purple. Wu Qingyuan is a saint, keeping calm in the face of danger. In the end, Fujisawa dropped from the first place to the "first place" with 7 wins and 2 losses 1. Later, Fujisawa refused to accept, and proposed "ping shi Chess" again. As a result, another big showdown of dark revenge began, and this time Fujisawa's fate was even worse. Wu Qingyuan put him in the doghouse with the advantage of 5 wins 1 negative. From then on, in front of Wu, Fujisawa had to bow and scrape forever and immediately "take the blame" and resign from the Japanese chess house. Hashimoto once challenged Fujisawa, who had just entered the ninth stage, but was proudly torn up and abandoned by the Japanese chess institute. Now, after Hashimoto's younger brother Wu Qingyuan, Hashimoto has been chosen as Fujisawa's opponent. It turns out that the Yomiuri Shimbun, which is quite original in Japanese newspapers, reached an agreement with relevant parties and obtained the patent right to hold the antique "Ten Chess". As the exclusive chess player of Yomiuri Shimbun, Wu Qingyuan has been recognized as "the first person in the world" after two wars with Fujisawa Kuranosuke. In order to realize the newspaper's follow-up plan, Hashimoto-Fujisawa put forward a competition plan. However, times have changed and people have changed. Hashimoto is no longer a rebel who was torn up casually in those days, but Fujisawa is a phoenix who lost his name and wandered in Japanese chess houses. How can you rashly agree to the plan of Yomiuri Shimbun?

Yamada Fujian, an anonymous writer in the Go column of Yomiuri Shimbun, wrote with his golden words:

In view of Fujisawa's resignation from the Japanese Chess Institute, Yomiuri Shimbun had planned to let him compete with Hashimoto for ten pieces. However, from the perspective of Kansai Chess Institute, the plan was indeed suspected of seeking personal gain, so it was difficult to set sail under the above background. No matter how sympathetic Hashimoto is to Fujisawa, it can only be another matter. The key problem of Kansai Chess House is that Fujisawa, as the strongest representative of Japanese Chess House, can only play against it. If he is a ronin in chess as he is today, fighting with him will only deepen old grievances. Therefore, even if Hashimoto is interested in a fight, it can still be asserted that no one in Kansai Chess Academy will wave the flag for this battle. In this way, just look at the opinion of a great man in Kansai Chess Academy-Chairman Kimura!

After several trips to Osaka, Yamada finally negotiated successfully with Kansai Chess Institute. Hashimoto is about to compete with Fujisawa for ten pieces, and he has already felt Fujisawa's strong desire for revenge to save the humiliation of being defeated by Wu Qingyuan. At the same time, a huge historical shadow came to him. "Since ancient times, young people have challenged the elderly. I have never seen such a precedent for challenging the younger generation. In that case, it would be a pity for Fujisawa to ignore my challenge. " A little angry and sad, Hashimoto broke away from the chaotic thoughts and shouted in his heart: new hatred and old hatred will be written off. Can you take it out on me!
