Jiang Qian looked at the Go board in front of him and was worried, what was going on with this old man, he said that he couldn't play Go and let himself play chess, wouldn't he be playing himself like a fool.

I saw that the old man was still smiling, then stroked his long beard, and then said to Jiang Qian: "You said that you can't play Go, then we won't play Go, just play the backgammon you said, but you want to tell me how to play this backgammon?"

Jiang Qian didn't expect this old man to play backgammon with him, he was a little incredulous for a while, and thought in his heart: "Is this the world after death like this?" Jiang Qian looked around at this time, the surrounding environment was like a fairyland, Jiang Qian and the old man were sitting in the small pavilion on the top of the mountain at this time, surrounded by clouds and mist, which was very beautiful.

Jiang Qian opened his mouth and asked, "Old man, where is this place? Is this the world after I die? Or do I usually do too many good deeds, so I don't need to go to hell to reincarnation, I can play chess with you in this fairyland?"

The old man saw Jiang Qian's curious look, smiled happily again, and then stroked his beard and said, "Are you curious?"

Jiang Qian nodded, and then stared at the old man with extremely curious eyes, only to see the old man stretch out his hand and point to the chessboard in front of him and Jiang Qian, and then said: "You tell me how to play backgammon, and then you and I play against each other, if you can beat me in three games, I will tell you." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Jiang Qian could only nod, and then said: "In this case, this five-in-a-row chess is just like its name, the most important thing is that the five pieces are connected, as long as the five pieces can be connected in a straight line, it is considered a victory, whether it is vertical or horizontal, or this kind of diagonal line, it is also considered a victory." ”

Saying that, Jiang Qian placed five chess pieces on the chessboard, then arranged them diagonally into a straight line, and then said: "That's it, it can be regarded as a victory, as long as whoever connects the five pieces first will be the winner." ”

After Jiang Qian finished speaking, the old man was extremely happy, and then squinted his eyes and said: "Yes, yes, although this five-in-a-row chess sounds very simple, but it contains a lot of things, not only to connect one's own five-piece, but also to prevent others from connecting, this is an offensive and defensive thing, very profound." ”

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly asked again: "This chessboard is only so big, if the chess pieces are full and the winner has not been decided, what should I do?"

"It's very simple, if the chessboard is full and the winner has not yet been decided, it will naturally be a draw between the two sides, and it will be a draw. ”

"Okay, well, then let's get started, remember what the old man said, as long as you win three games against me, you will know what you want to know." ”

After speaking, the old man first held the black man, and then said: "I haven't played this backgammon, let the old man take the first step, you have no opinion, and we will take turns for the rest." ”

"I naturally have no opinion, although this black and white are one after the other, but each has its own benefits, this black has the initiative, can take the lead, but in the five-in-a-row chess this white is also good, although a little behind, but you can adjust your strategy according to the opponent's number of roads, and there are countless examples of defending as an attack. ”

After listening to what Jiang Qian said, the old man nodded and smiled slightly, and then the black piece in his hand fell in the middle of the chessboard, Jiang Qian immediately took the white piece to follow, speaking of which although Jiang Qian does not play often now, but when his mobile phone was confiscated by the teacher when he was in school, he did not do his job with his classmates at the same table, and he wanted to say that backgammon is also Jiang Qian's specialty.

Soon, Jiang Qian found out the loophole of the old man, and immediately practiced the five whites into a line, and then Jiang Qian said: "Old man, I won, these five whites have been connected into a line." ”

Saying that, Jiang Qian also stretched out his hand to point out to the old man where his five sons were connected, and when the old man saw it, he immediately patted his head, and then said: "I was careless, I patronized and looked at other places, but I didn't expect to be surrounded by Wei to save Zhao, this is really wonderful, the fun is endless, the fun is endless!"

After speaking, the old man put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then swapped the black and white pieces, and said to Jiang Qian: "You kid is really smart, you won the first game, if you can still win two games against me, I will answer what you want to know, okay, hurry up and start the next game, this backgammon is really interesting, although it is simple but not to be underestimated." ”

Jiang Qian didn't expect this old man to be addicted, but Jiang Qian could only accompany him, because Jiang Qian had nothing to do now, if he didn't accompany this old man to play backgammon, I am afraid that he would have to go back to the dark place before, although this game of chess is a bit boring, but it can be regarded as a thing to do, and the surrounding environment is really good, much better than the feeling of floating in the dark like just now.

This time, Jiang Qian took the black chess pieces and left first, Jiang Qian had already studied several sets of routines when he played backgammon with people before, whether it was to go first or later, there was always a chance to connect the five pieces, and it was indeed more than enough to deal with this old man, after all, although this person seemed to be a Go master, but backgammon was still a contact.

Although the rules of this backgammon are indeed simple and can be understood by everyone, there are definitely many ways to do it, and it is easy for Jiang Qian to win three games with his own routine.

But this game of chess was played, Jiang Qian found that he was indeed a little underestimated, this old man deserved to be a master of Go, there are always some common ways to play chess, after the last game of the trial, this old man's level of playing backgammon can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, and he can force Jiang Qian to change several routines, and he has been surrounded by this old man, and he has not succeeded.

Jiang Qian looked up at the old man, only to see that the old man was looking at the chessboard very seriously, and then waiting for Jiang Qian to take the next step, Jiang Qian shook his head helplessly, it seems that this time he has met a chess idiot, and he is so addicted to playing chess, but fortunately this is a five-in-a-row, if he plays Go, according to the appearance of this old man, it is estimated that he can figure out a good step in half a day, if that is the case, Jiang Qian would rather return to the darkness by himself.

Jiang Qian is another black chess piece has fallen, this time Jiang Qian has already been optimistic about the road of connecting the two five-sons, as long as he waits for this old man to take the bait.
