Section 10 Cliff Chess

We continued to walk forward anxiously, and finally saw the second door made of snow-white marble made of snow-white marble.

So we were extremely curious, impatient to open the door with the key that we had been looking for and found before, the scene inside was even more unexpected than we expected, we all stared at in surprise, just walked through the dark and foggy forest, opened the door in an instant and saw that not far in front of it was actually a circle of cliffs like knives and axes, steep, vertical down, almost vertical ground, and the cliff when we just came down about the same height, and even towering into the clouds, even higher than the sinkhole in Wulong, Chongqing, there is nowhere to climbEven the top-level light masters can only look at the cliff and sigh when they see this cliff, sighing to the sky, just now our time machine fell outside, we are looking at the towering cliff and sighing, and this cliff surrounds us.

It seems that if we want to find the third door, we must go all out and try our best to climb over this cliff with thousands of walls, but looking at this boundless, towering cliff from afar, our heads are big, this tiger eats the sky, there is nowhere to go, where should we start?

Quicksand comforted everyone and said: "It's okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's get closer first and see what is going on." Hu Jiaojiao also pouted with a cherry mouth;

"Quicksand is right, let's go over and see it first, there is no endless road, not to mention that you keep saying that the old man of the king definitely doesn't want his peerless and tens of millions of treasures to be unattended, and he must still want to have a successor, so he will definitely be merciful, and I thought that I would travel with you and enjoy a happy life, but I didn't expect you to have such a big secret hidden from us, I knew that your treasure hunt was so dangerous, I shouldn't have boarded this thief ship, but who called us friends, we share blessings and difficulties。 "I thought Hu Jiaojiao didn't know, it turned out that she already knew it, but it seems that she really treats us as friends, so she is willing to live a life of dancing on the tip of a knife with us like this. So we had no choice but to walk towards the cliff, and when we were getting closer, we saw a piece of golden and silver on the cliff, spreading from the bottom of the cliff all the way up, but the distance was still a little far, and we couldn't see it really, what was it, and we all ran forward with curiosity and excitement.

Finally came to the dazzling golden light, we saw clearly that this huge cliff is actually inlaid with a huge chessboard made of gold, silver and jade, I think if in the modern society will be on the world record, the world's largest chessboard, it is really amazing to everyone, it is amazing, this chess is a cliff as a chessboard, with pure white jade to outline the rules and regulations of chess, and those chess pieces are hanging high on the cliff, actually did not fall, it seems that there must be magnets on it, and those chess pieces are made of glittering gold and silver, but unfortunately too high and too big to move downOtherwise, how much does such a big gold chess piece cost, it seems that the old Mr. Wang Dalong who has been passed on by word of mouth has discovered the gold mine or successfully studied the stone into gold is not groundless, and the mouth is unfounded, the huge game of gold chess in front of me is a full proof, I don't know what good things are in the final treasure, it is really reverie, it is really a local tyrant gold, it is pleasing to the eye, joyful, full of interest, eyebrows and smiles, eyebrows fly and dance, I seem to have seen countless sets of high-end houses, villas, luxury cars in modern society like me waving, I feel that everything is so beautifulWhen I was still indulging in my dreamlike fantasy, I suddenly heard Zeng Lu's sharp voice say be careful, it turned out that Hu Jiaojiao saw a red button under the chessboard, she couldn't wait to press it quickly, and the chessboard began to move.

And from the chessboard came an old man's face, which looked somewhat similar to the standard work photo of Mr. Wang Dalong in the laboratory, but it was much older, and the old and ethereal voice came from the corner of the mouth with a slight smile on the lifelike face on the chessboard: You are very good, successfully passed the first door, I am not wrong about you, warmly welcome you to enter the second door of the Chinese chess game, this round is a man-machine battle of Chinese chess competition, you only need to say it in words, best-of-three games.

When I'm done, the platform at the bottom of the valley will automatically jump out, and you will go up a step with each win, and if you win in the end, you will go straight through the cliff to the third door, but if you lose, the platform will fall, but if you lose the game, you will stay at the bottom of the cliff forever. The old voice continued to say freely: "Oh, I have been lonely for too long in this deep mountain and old forest, it turns out that I talk a little too much, I often talk to myself alone, and finally wait for you, the audience, to forgive the old man for a few days to say a few more words." I'll talk about Chinese chess, my favorite chess activity. I think every Chinese should learn chess, ever-changing, colorful, so fun, especially playing against myself, it is even more fun and interesting, let me spend countless lonely and lonely nights. Today I will briefly introduce Chinese chess, which is a kind of chess game that originated in China, which belongs to a kind of two-person confrontation and has a long history in China. Because of the simplicity and fun of the utensils, it has become a very popular chess activity. Chinese chess is a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, which has a long history, strong interest, concise and easy-to-understand basic rules, and has been prosperous for thousands of years. Chinese chess is a simulation of ancient warfare, straight-line warfare, land warfare, and plane warfare. In ancient China, chess was listed as a self-cultivation skill for scholars and doctors. Today, it is regarded as a wholesome activity for the mind and mind. Xiangqi integrates culture, science, art, and competition, and can not only develop intelligence, enlighten thinking, exercise dialectical analysis ability and cultivate tenacious will, but also cultivate the mind, cultivate sentiment, and enrich cultural life, and is deeply loved by the masses. Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign men and women of all ages, because of the simple utensils, strong fun, the streets and alleys can often see Chinese chess lovers playing with tattoos. Chinese chess is played on a square checkered chessboard with red and black round chess pieces, with 10 horizontal lines and 9 vertical lines divided into 90 intersections, while Chinese chess has a total of 32 chess pieces, 16 pieces of each color, divided into 7 arms, placed and moved at the intersection points. The two sides alternate the moves, and the side that checkmates the opponent's general (handsome) first wins. With a history of thousands of years and full of oriental wisdom, Chinese chess has far surpassed Go among the Chinese masses and has always been the most popular chess sport. Chinese chess belongs to the chess C language (Xiangqi China language), from this point of view, the generation of Korean chess, chess and other chess basically called some key modules and dialogue sentences of this chess C language. Chinese chess originated in China. The famous British scholar Dr. Joseph Needham clearly pointed out in his book "History of Chinese Science and Culture" that chess is also a creation of the Chinese. He made a detailed analysis of the relationship between the ancient Chinese game of Liubo and astronomy, elephantology, and mathematics, and he said: Only in China did the prevalence of the theory of yin and yang lead to the creation of the rudiments of chess, the invention of divination with an astronomical nature, and then the development of a game with military implications. The term chess first appeared during the Warring States period. In "Chu Ci and Summoning Spirits", there is a special record of its form and method of playing: there are six books of chess; This means that jade (i.e., castin) is made of the equivalent of dice. There are 6 pieces on each side, and the game is played in parallel with each other. (i.e., two or two groups of league games), attacking each other and forcing each other to a dead end, and finally the winner Mou (meaning multiplication) wins. Defeated the enemy soldiers (in the Spring and Autumn period, with 5 people) and gave a shout of victory. Han Liu also recorded to "Saying Yuan, Good Saying" that Yongmenzi Zhou Yiqin saw Meng Weijun and said: The king of a thousand times is also ...... Yan fights chess and dances Zheng Nu. It means to persuade Meng, you might as well be like Yan Guo, fight chess, watch singing and dancing, and have a good time. All of this shows that chess has become a regular activity during the Warring States period. Thus the time when chess arose before the Warring States. In China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and even the Qin and Han dynasties, the country was in turmoil, and chess came into being in this context. There are many obvious similarities between military warfare and sports competitions. For example, the ultimate goal is to win, and the confrontation process is expressed through techniques and tactics. There are both strategic themes and tactical means. As an intellectual game that simulates ancient wars, chess is played on a chessboard close by. The chariots, horses, cannons, and soldiers on the chessboard are the symbols of the ancient chariots, horses, cannons (or catapults), and soldiers. Compared with other sports, chess has the most direct internal relationship with ancient military affairs, and its strategic thinking and tactical characteristics have been influenced by ancient military thought. With the changes of the times, while chess is becoming more and more perfect, it also does not deviate from the purpose of military warfare and the art of war. In the ancient scores of the rows, such as "The Abyss and the Sea", "The Plum Blossom Spectrum", "The Secret of the Orange", "The Appropriate Taste", etc., many of the rows are named after the Art of War, the Thirty-six Strategies, the Three Kingdoms Interpretation Allusions and the names of wars, etc., which are not only exquisitely conceived, but also very consistent with the names of the historical allusions named. In our present Great Song Dynasty, Chinese chess was basically stereotyped, except for the increase in the invention of gunpowder

In addition to the "cannon", it was added

"Taxi",

"Elephant". That is, on the basis of using the chessboard with nine palaces, absorbing and borrowing the types of chess pieces from other chess games, and upgrading three of the pawns into one soldier and two cannons, in line with the interests of the people at that time.

In addition, Song Chao is not to blame

"Guangxiangqi" has 32 chess pieces, which is the same as the total number of chess pieces in our modern chess, but it is not known whether there is a river boundary on the chessboard.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Shilin Guangji published a comprehensive set of moves for two games of chess. The Song Dynasty was an era of widespread popularity of chess and great changes in the form of chess.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were Sima Guang's "Seven Kingdoms Elephant Play", Yin Zhu's "Elephant Opera", "Chess Potential", Chao Buzhi's "Guangxiang Opera" and other works came out, and the folk also popular elephant opera.

Chinese chess is made up of two people taking turns to move, in the tactics follow the ancient Sun Tzu's Art of War in the battle of the soldier without a fight, the good of the good also the combat idea, to check or trap the opponent's general (handsome) for the victory of a kind of two-person confrontation.

When the time comes, the side holding the golden chess will go first, and then the two sides will take turns to make a move each until the win, loss, and draw are divided, and the game will end, and the game will be two wins in three games, but considering that you are tired of traveling, for the sake of fairness, take a quarter of an hour's rest, and the game officially begins. As soon as the words fell, this huge picture, the right side of the cliff chess game that is rare in the world is about ten meters from the ground appeared a suspended platform made of tempered glass, we feel like jumping up, standing on it can clearly see everything on the ground, and the wind blows, there is a feeling of swaying and leisurely, we take a closer look, it turned out to be a slender wire cable from the cliff above, just now we are uneven, the platform is a little shaky, swaying and swaying, just like a swing swaying in mid-air, so that those ancients who have never taken the elevator screamed, shocked, and a few of us modern people are not surprised, as steady as Mount Tai.

It seems that this Wang Dalong old-timer is really a genius among geniuses, and even the production method of tempered glass, steel cables and other things that are only available in modern society have been successfully manufactured in ancient times.

Hu Jiaojiao said anxiously: "Oops, I don't know Chinese chess, I can only play Go, I can't help you, you have to figure it out yourself."
