Chapter 154: The Way of Chess
Hua Tiandu's swordsmanship is known for being domineering and vertical, while Li Bai's Qinglian swordsmanship is like others, indulgent and uninhibited, sharp and fierce. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two have fought more than 100 times, but they often do not distinguish between high and low, and I don't know if Li Bai has tried his best, but Hua Tiandu has reservations and has always been willing to fight with him to a draw.
It wasn't until the middle of the night, when the two of them were very tired, that they lay down on the ground and gasped for breath, and above the sky, an autumn moon appeared extremely mellow after fifteen, exuding cold moonlight.
The next day, Li Bai went out on something, so he left Hua Tiandu alone in the study, and Hua Tian had nothing to do, so he could only casually flip through the classics in the room.
At this time, a person walked in, and when he looked closely, it was Father Li, and before Hua Tian could step forward to say hello, Father Li said, "Are you still used to living in the house?"
Hua Tiandu put down the classics in his hand, stood up and said with a smile, "Habit, habit, thanks to your father and son, Tiandu is grateful."
Father Li raised his hand and signaled Hua Tian not to be too polite.
"I don't know if you know how to play chess," said Li's father.
Hua Tiandu had heard of it in the Anwu Marquis Mansion before, but he had never dabbled in it, and immediately replied, "Although I have heard of it, I have never heard it."
"The eldest husband can also dominate the world with a three-foot long sword in his hand, how can he not know chess, I will teach you how", Father Li said with his hands behind his back.
"If my uncle is willing to teach, Tiandu should devote himself to practice", Tiandu said politely.
Father Li made a gesture of please, motioned for Hua Tiandu to sit down, clapped his palms, and quickly brought the Go over and skillfully placed it.
"The world chess game is divided into a lot, but the old man only likes this Go and chess, Go is like all things in heaven and earth, the stars of the universe, broad and profound, but can not penetrate, and this chess is like a battle, although sitting in the thatched house, but can point to the country, thousands of armies vertically and horizontally.
Therefore, chess is listed as a self-cultivation art for scholars and doctors, and a beneficial activity for the mind and intelligence. In chess battles, people can understand a certain philosophy from the changes in the complex relationships between offense and defense, virtual and real, and the whole and the part. You can also broaden your horizons in the game of chess, let people see farther and take the overall situation into account.
In this chess game, the chessboard is divided into two hostile sides by the Chu River and Han realm.
Shuai (general): Shuai (general) is the leader of chess, and it is the goal that both sides strive for. It can only move within the nine palaces, up or down, left or right, and can only walk one square according to the vertical or horizontal line each time. Shuai and will not be directly opposite each other in the same straight line, otherwise the side will be judged to lose.
Shi (Shi): Shi (Shi) is the personal bodyguard of the general (handsome), and it can only move around in the Nine Palaces. Its path is only four diagonal lines within the nine houses.
Xiang (Xiang): The main role of Xiang (Xiang) is to defend and protect one's handsome (general). Its way of walking is to walk diagonally two squares at a time, commonly known as "elephant flying field". The scope of activity of the phase (elephant) is limited to the position of the local side within the river boundary, and can not cross the river, and if there is a chess piece in the center of the field character it walks, it cannot walk, commonly known as "plugging the elephant's eye".
Rook: The rook is the most powerful in chess, regardless of horizontal or vertical lines, as long as there is no child to block, the number of moves is not limited. Therefore, one car can control seventeen points, so it is called "one car and ten sons cold".
Cannon: When the cannon is not eating, it moves exactly the same as the car. When taking a piece, there must be one piece between the opponent's piece and the opponent's piece (regardless of the opponent's or your own piece), and the cannon is the only chess piece that can be crossed.
Horse: The method of horse walking is always oblique, that is, first walking horizontally or straightly, and then diagonally walking a diagonal, commonly known as "horse walking day". The horse can go to the selection point at a time can reach eight points around it, so there is a saying of "eight sides of majesty". If there are other chess pieces blocking in the direction to go, the horse will not be able to walk over, commonly known as "lame legs".
Soldier (pawn): Soldier (pawn) before crossing the river, can only go forward step by step, after crossing the river, in addition to not being able to retreat, allowed to move left and right, but can only one step at a time, even so, the power of the soldier (pawn) is also greatly enhanced, so there is a saying that "the pawn who crosses the river is half a car".
"Do you understand?" asked Father Li.
Although Hua Tiandu was confused, he had a clue from this fog, and nodded lightly, "I understand a little, I understand a little."
"In that case, let's start, the one who comes is the guest, you should be in charge of the red chess pieces, let you go first."
Hua Tiandu swept the chess game at a glance, and his body seemed to be in front of the two armies, the water of the Chu River was surging and rushing, and Hua Tiandu was the commander of this side at this time.
Although Hua Tiandu only understands a little, he has a strong comprehension ability, and although he has lost two games in a row, he has also experienced the mystery of chess, and the time of the battle is getting longer and longer.
As Father Li said, Hua Tian is a murderous chess player, never afraid of jade burning, relying on a killing spirit to be aggressive, and never flinching in local entanglement.
This pig slaughtered since childhood, at the age of fourteen he dared to stab the enemy for his relatives, at the age of fourteen stepped into the martial arts, the talent was horizontal, as soon as he entered the battlefield, he dared to fight with the army, the bloody spirit in his hands was extremely heavy, the more he went to the back, the slower and slower the fall, and the longer he thought about it, it was not the same as Li's father's stability, calm and introverted, often did not move his body, and the falling son would definitely not be thundering on the ground, but he was able to turn danger into relief, and seemed to retreat, but he never let Huatian get cheap.
In this third game of chess, it took half a lot of time, and Hua Tiandu fought to the last chess piece, but he still moved forward bravely, did not retreat at all, and finally lost tragically.
In the fourth game, Father Li changed his previous tactics of not attacking, and he and Hua Tian fought each other locally, and Hua Tian held on for half an hour and still lost.
Although Hua Tiandu was a little discouraged, even in the face of an opponent who was stronger than himself, he had never fought so miserably, even if he was not an opponent, he had to fight the enemy to the death.
"Although chess is a small way, but you can see a person's nature through playing chess, chess game, it seems that the chess pieces on both sides come and go, in fact, it is the confrontation of thinking between the players, each side has its own unique style, you are too murderous, but the heart is impetuous, like to fight with local charges, but never care about the overall situation, I have to say that your force is aggressive, if two opponents of equal strength fight, you will win, but when you meet an opponent stronger than you, you will definitely be burned. If you have time, you can study the way of chess, chess is a game between two armies, and the breadth and profundity of Go is undoubtedly of great benefit to practitioners."
"Thank you uncle for your teachings, and the heavens will be remembered in my heart", Hua Tiandu humbly accepted the teachings.
Although Father Li's words poke at the Chinese sky, he can see through people's hearts from a chess game, which shows the profundity of chess.
"If you have time, you can learn from Shaobai and Duoxing, and you can smooth out your sharpness, which will benefit you and harm your future practice," said Li's father.
"It's not early today, let's stop here, and I'll talk to you again when I have time in the future", then gently stroked his long sleeves and slowly walked out of the small courtyard.
At this time, Hua Tiandu exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and the heartstrings that had been tense were loosened, although the chess game was much more tiring than the battlefield charge, but if you think about it, in the past, they all charged into battle, only caring about charging and killing the enemy, never considering the gains and losses of the entire battlefield, and this chess needs to be comprehensive, control the overall situation, and it will be a hundred times harder.
