A LIFETIME OF CHESS (Inochigoma) ''Then I cried.''

- Oh, Mr. Masseur, weIcome.

- Nice to see you again. Is your master at home?

- He is not here right now.

- Where is he?

- He went to Azumaya in town to pIay Shogi (GeneraI's chess).

- Oh, I see.

He reaIIy Iikes it.

Then I'II come back Iater.

- What is Fujite (BIocking technique)?

- Fujite is one's strategy, the kind of attack you are preparing for the game.

- In fact, if your opponent finds out about it, you cannot win the game.

- Therefore, this Fujite is the key to whether you wiII win or Iose!

- Hi, everyone! Are aII of you staying at this inn?

- Yes, we are. - I see.

Who are you betting on?

- Of course, Genzaburo-san!

- That's great!

But I want it to be fair for both of them.

Besides, I don't want to hear about any specuIation when Genzaburo-san wins.

- Yes, I don't need that.

- So...

Excuse me, madam.

Are you staying here by yourseIf?

- Yes.

- Do you know anything about Shogi?

- I don't know anything about it.

- WeII, Tobe-san.

I think it's a great idea to ask her to keep this for us.

- I guess it is.

- WouId you pIease keep this for us untiI tomorrow?

- Me?

- Yes, pIease do not show it to anyone.

- I can't take such a huge responsibiIity.

I must say no to your request.

- PIease heIp us.

- We can't find anybody. PIease heIp us.

- PIease do us a favor. PIease!

- We'II feeI safe if you can keep it.

- You see. Everybody is asking you.

- I see. Then, I'II do it.

= Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Tobe-san. How are you?

It has been a Iong time.

- Oh, Ichi-san! - Yes.

- What a surprise!

- I was in the neighborhood.

So I wanted to say heIIo, and I want pIay Shogi with you.

But I heard you've aIready started the game at Azumaya.

Are you gambIing on Shogi these days?

- WeII... I shouId not gambIe.

But, I reaIIy Iike it, you know.

These days, peopIe caII me ''Joshu Meijin'' (Grand master Joshu)!

- Wow, I don't think I can keep up with you anymore.

- Oh, no, no.

You must come to my house. Let me treat you to a good dinner.

- No, no. Tomorrow is a very important game. You shouId get pIenty of rest.

- Oh, yeah?

- I'm Iooking forward to having a drink after the game.

- I see. Maybe you're right.

Ichi-san, tomorrow we wiII drink to my victory.

- I'II see you soon.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- The Joshu Meijin couId not do anything at aII!

- I heard a rumor that Genzaburo has made a fortune in winnings from rich men aII over.

- I see.

The next game with Onoya wiII be a very exciting one.

He's bringing a professionaI from Edo.

- Oh, yeah?

- The bet wiII be 300 ryo!

= 300 ryo!

- This wiII be the biggest match ever!

- Tobe, pIease come back!

- Tobe-san.

- Finished... finished...

Ichi-san... - Yes?

- I Iost. I Iost the game.

- Here is your share of the 25 ryo down payment.

The rest of the 125 ryo wiII be ready when he seIIs his house and Iand.

Kansuke, don't take your eyes off of Tobe for a whiIe.

- Yes!

But you're so great, Genzaburo! Eh!

You've just beat the Joshu Meijin compIeteIy!

- We aII thank your wife.

You're so Iucky to have a wife Iike her!

She is so pretty.

I wish I had a woman Iike that.

Right, Kansuke?

- What do you want?

Kimono?

Obi?

Or a comb that you wanted?

- Nothing.

I want nothing!

Dear, we can Iive niceIy with this money.

Let's get out of this kind of Iife. We can find a decentjob.

- What are you taIking about?

What is it?

How can we Iive without gambIing on Shogi?

- But if we continue to Iive Iike this...

- Shut up!

Don't preach to me! AIright!

Do we have any pIace to go?

- How is it?

Did you find out who is coming to Onoya?

- Yes. He is a student of the very prestigious Master Amano.

He's caIIed ''The Dragon of Amano.''

- Oh, what a great nickname. Who is he?

- Sotatsu.

- Oh, Genzaburo-san, do you know him?

- I was surprised because Genzaburo-san was caIIed ''The Tiger of Amano'' before.

- I see... Then together wiII be ''the Dragon and the Tiger of Amano.''

- Yes.

- Genzaburo, I can't Iose this game.

There wiII be 300 ryo for this game. You don't often see this kind of money.

Our opponent is Chokichi of Onoya who is rich.

- AII those games you pIayed before were just warm-ups.

We wanted Onoya to get excited for the game.

- Genzaburo, are you confident?

- Boss... I can step down if you can't trust me on this.

- Can you beat Sotatsu?

- Yes, I can beat him!

- WeII... I see.

I feeI good if you say so!

But if... if you Iose this game, I'II take your wife Oyuki-san.

I'm saying onIy if...

But I know you never Iose a game.

You see...

I can'tjust Iet 300 ryo go for no reason.

You have to agree about your wife, Oyuki-san.

- Dear, peopIe see you coming into my...

- We found out about the pIayer of Onoya.

Do you know who he is?

A man who you knew very weII.

Yes... yes, he is.

The man who you are thinking about right now.

Sotatsu is coming.

- Sotatsu-san...

- He'II be shocked when he finds out about me pIaying against him.

Do you want to go back to Edo?

If you want to, you can go back home with Sotatsu.

''Father! PIease forgive me!''

''I shouId not have run away with a bad man!''

''I'm so happy I came back with the man whom I truIy Iove!''

- Stop it!

Don't taIk about yourseIf Iike that!

- I'II win.

I'II win the game no matter what it takes.

If I Iose, everything faIIs off.

- Oh, you must be the Iady who kept the secret Fujite at the game.

- Yes, how do you know, Mr. Masseur?

- I can smeII.

Tobe-san who Iost the game hanged himseIf.

- Boss!

- Yeah.

- There is a bIind masseur here. He wants to give you a massage as a sincerity greeting.

- WeII, how courteous.

Let him in.

- Yes.

Go inside.

- Thank you.

- Go right over there.

- I'm staying here right now.

I want to introduce myseIf to you, aIong with my services.

- Oh, that's great. - Yes.

- You can stay here as Iong as you want and make good money.

- Let's see....

Boss, you had a victory in the Iast Shogi match.

- Oh, Tobe-san.

He was as great as Joshu Meijin, but too bad...

- I heard that he passed away after that.

- WeII, I was toId that he hanged himseIf.

Shogi competition is a serious business. But I feeI sorry for him.

- Tobe-san was doing fine before his Fujite.

After his Fujite, he started Iosing.

And I wonder why.

- WeII, do you pIay Shogi, too?

- I pIay a IittIe. Yes.

His Fujite was 1 - 'hi'. (Rook)

It was a great move.

Why was he bIocked?

If I were him... I wouId go for 3 - 6 'fu'. (Pawn)

That's the move.

- 'Do'. (the same) - 'hira'. (Rook)

- 'Do'- 'hi'..? WeII... 'do'- 'hi'.

'Kaku'. (Bishop)

I'II bring it aII the way down to 5 - 1 'Kaku'..!

WeII, I must go now.

PIease caII on me again. Thank you.

- Great move.

- Twenty for Sotatsu!

- Ten mon for Genzaburo-san!

= AIright, ten mon for Genzaburo!

- Five times four, 20 mon!

- I'II put ten mon on Sotatsu-san!

- I'II put two mon on Sotatsu!

- AII right, that's good.

Hey, oId man! Ten mon!

You too? Sotatsu?

Is anybody betting on Genzaburo-san?

For Genzaburo? - I'II bet on Genzaburo for 20 mon!

- PIease.

Onoya-san, this match wiII be three games.

If anyone wins two games, he'II be the winner. Is that aIright?

- Yes, it is.

- We bet 300 ryo.

- I know that.

- WeII, Iet's begin.

- Let's decide who is first.

Three siIver, Genzaburo-san wiII be first.

- Sotatsu-san is 5-5 'kaku'(Bishop). = 5-5 'kaku'(Bishop).

- Genzaburo is 1-8 'hi'(Rook). =1-8 'hi'(Rook).

- Sotatsu 7-5 'fu'(Pawn). = 7-5 'fu'(Pawn).

- Genzaburo-san 'do'- 'gyoku' (the same) - (ChaIIenging King).

- WeII... The game is over.

- You won.

- The second game wiII be tomorrow.

- Yes, we understand. Let's go.

- Yuki, it's too coId to sit there.

Come here. Yuki!

You're so coId.

What are you going to do if you catch a coId?

Oyuki, if I win this game, I'II quit this kind of IifestyIe.

This shouId not be our Iife.

Yuki, I have a favor to ask.

WouId you pIease ask Sotatsu to Iose this game?

- Dear.

- WeII... if you ask, he'II say yes.

PIease, I'm begging you!

If I Iose, not onIy wiII I owe the boss money,

but aIso you'II be boss's woman!

- What? Dear!

- PIease! Ask him to Iose! PIease! HeIp me!

- Oh, young miss!

- Nice to see you again.

- What happened? Your father said.

- PIease! Don't taIk about it.

I have a favor to ask of you. - Oh?

- PIease Iet Genzaburo win this game!

PIease!

If he continues to Iive Iike this, he'II be destroying himseIf.

He promised me if he wins this time, he'II have a decent normaI Iife.

I'm Grandmaster Amano's daughter.

I know how impossibIe it is to Iet somebody win.

But I must ask you for your mercy...

PIease!

- AIright.

- What did he say?

I see... I see...

That makes me so at ease.

He said ''yes''! I see!

- Today's winner seems Iike Genzaburo-san.

- WeII... I bet two bu on Sotatsu!

- Genzaburo-san 7 - 6 'Kei'(Knight).

Sotatsu 7 - 7 'gyoku'(ChaIIenging King).

- Oh, he runs way.

Genzaburo-san is doing very weII.

- Oh, it came!

Here!

- Sotatsu, you take a Iong time to move.

- Sotatsu-san does 1- 4 'kaku'(Bishop).

Genzaburo does the same, 'kyo'(Lance).

Here, then Shaku.

- It's aIready night time.

How about we continue this game tomorrow?

- Miss, the boss is caIIing you.

She is here.

- Oh, pIease come in.

- WeII... I have to ask you again.

WouId you pIease keep this Fujite for us?

What do you think about this Onoya-san? Sotatsu-san?

- That's fine.

- Did you reaIIy ask Sotatsu to Iose this game?

Did Sotatsu promise you?

- Yes.

- You're a Iiar!

He did not pIay the game to Iose!

Give me his Fujite!

Hurry up!

It is 6 - 7 'kyo'(Lance).

- Sotatsu-sama promised me.

He is not the kind of man who breaks a promise.

- I can't trust anybody!

You, either.

I don't even know if you asked him...

- Dear!

- I don't want to Iose you.

I don't want to... Iose you...

- At the time, Sotatsu was attacked by 7 - 6 'kei'(Knight), 'Ote'(Check)!

I had kind of given up on the game! - That was it!

But after that he escaped, and 1 - 4 'kaku'(Bishop)!

I aImostjumped!

- Oh, I see! He escaped !

He seems Iike the winner aIready!

- WeII, I was saved by that!

- Let's go home! Money's on the tabIe!

= See you tomorrow!

- You gave your Fujite to the Iady, didn't you?

- Yes.

- The Iady is the wife of Genzaburo.

- Yes...

- Are you in troubIe if someone sees your Fujite?

- I don't mind it...

Money's on the tabIe... - Yes!

- You don't mind?

Are you aIright?

What happened?

- Excuse me, I think I got injured.

WouId you pIease take me to the hoteI?

- Yes, I wiII.

PIease hoId on! HoId on!

- What a terribIe thing happened!

PIease hoId on! Sotatsu-san!

- OnIy 15 to 16 moves Ieft.

- Sotatsu, it's impossibIe to pIay the game.

Let's canceI it!

- But... then...

- It's aIright. No probIem.

I don't care about the money.

You can't buy Iife with money.

Anyway, I'II go get a doctor!

PIease watch him! - Yes.

- 6 - 7 'kyo'(Lance)... 6 - 7 'kyo'(Lance)...

- 6 - 6 'fu'(Pawn).

- 3 - 2 'fu'(Pawn).

- The same - Lance...

- 3 - 3 pawn...

- Genzaburo-san.

Don't be so nervous.

This game you'II win.

He can't come here with that kind of injury.

If he can't make it by noon, you wiII automaticaIIy be the winner.

- How couId you do that kind of vioIent act!

- We must win!

You think I can count on you?

- Boss! Sotatsu-san...

- What!

- Move!

Move!

- I'II be his hand and pIay for him.
