棋士

若い棋士が多少、尊大な感じになるのはよくあることで、 そういうことは将棋界(かい)に限った話(はなし)ではないでしょう。

It often happens that young shogi players become a little self-important, but I don't think that's something limited to the shogi world.

あの腕の立つ若い棋士は、なかなか大胆だ。わざと、どこからも攻撃されやすいように、しかも陥落されやすいようにみせかけて、相手が最も予期しない時(とき)に王手を決める。

The talented young chess player is very bold. He deliberately lays himself open to attack, makes himself vulnerable and then checkmates his opponent when least expected.
