Zhang Xianjian, who had not slept all night, fell asleep at dawn, and the second grandfather of the advanced knocked on the door at about six o'clock, shouting that Zhang Xianjin should hurry up and enter the city to participate in the competition.

Zhang Xianjin was woken up, his scarlet eyes dim. Zhang's mother asked the reason, and Zhang Xianjin said that he didn't sleep well because of insomnia.

After getting up, he secretly drank the fountain of life, and washed it with the fountain of life. With the second grandfather going up against the sunrise, he stepped on the dew and went into the city.

Not to mention that this fountain of life is really a good thing, after using it, Zhang Xianjin feels that he has a lot of energy, as if he has been rejuvenated, but the sadness caused by the loss of love still lingers.

Under the leadership of the advanced second grandfather, he went straight to the county party committee, and the organizing committee members and Xiao Wang, the director of the propaganda department, were on standby early to prepare the venue for all the chess players.

This chess tournament still adopts a best-of-three system, and those who lose the game can leave the court directly and do whatever they need to do when they go home.

After the 32 villagers officially assembled, the game officially began at 10 o'clock.

The one who played against Zhang Xianjin was an old man of half a hundred. In the first game of chess, because Zhang Xianjin was too sad, the shadow of Yu Wushuang lingered in his heart, and the old man took the lead first, leading 1-0.

When playing chess, the old man smiled and said, "Child, are you asking me to do this?" An absent-minded look is disrespectful to your opponent. ”

Zhang Xianjin smiled awkwardly, opened the water cup and drank the fountain of life prepared in advance, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and started the second game of chess attentively.

As the saying goes, everything is afraid of being serious, and Zhang Xianjian, who became serious, did not give the old man the slightest chance at all, and after a short time, the old man was defeated.

The old man said: "Child, you can play chess well, the first game is mine, right?" “

Zhang Xianjin said with a smile: "It's better for you to be old, I just won by luck, and I'm still waiting for your old third set to successfully turn the tables." ”

Before the old man could speak, Director Xiao Wang stepped forward and said, "Two, it's already half past eleven, it's time to eat, please go to dinner first and take a little rest, and continue the game in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Xianjin stood up and just wanted to invite the old man to eat together, but was grabbed by the old man and said, "Child, this chess game is like an ideal, how can there be a reason to give up halfway?" Let's go on, and I'll treat you to dinner after this plate, and I'll treat you to a good meal. ”

Zhang Xianjin was helpless, and said to Director Xiao Wang: "Director Xiao Wang, please tell my second grandfather, just say that I will continue to play chess and not go to dinner for the time being." ”

Director Xiao Wang was a little helpless when he heard this, but he still smiled slightly, but this smile brought out ten thousand styles, and said softly with a slight smile: "Okay, I will help you convey the news." In addition, I will tell you the good news, your second grandfather has won two sets in a row. Your opponent is very strong, you have to do it. After saying that, he smiled at the old man and left.

The old man glanced back, saw that Director Xiao Wang had already walked away, and smiled at Zhang Xianjian: "You knew each other before? ”

Zhang Xianjin glanced at the old man and replied, "We met her once when she went to our village. ”

The old man laughed, attracting dozens of pairs of eyes, but the old man didn't care, and whispered: "I think this little Director Wang is interesting to you." ”

Zhang Xianjin didn't care, and changed the topic and said, "It seems that your old man knows this little Director Wang, right?" And this Director Wang also knows that you have a special hobby for chess, and you would rather not eat than finish playing. I'm not wrong, right? ”

The old man asked in surprise, "How do you kid know?" ”

Zhang Xianjin said with a smile: "It's very simple, when you said that you would play chess first and not eat, Director Xiao Wang was quite helpless to you, obviously he had known your temperament for a long time, so he didn't even persuade him." Today, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman to let you lose a happy loss. ”

The old man was a little unhappy when he heard this, and his face changed and said, "You kid is proud of winning a handful." ”

Zhang Xianjin smiled without saying a word, and listened to the old man continue: "Don't divert the topic, how is Director Xiao Wang?" I think you're pretty clever, kid. As for the small appearance, it is also worthy of the country and the party. Do you want me to be a matchmaker for you? ”

Zhang Xianjian's eyes rolled, shook his head and said, "You are still worried about your third game of chess, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat if you lose." ”

Zhang Xianjian's words were too ruthless, the old man blew his beard angrily and glared at him, and said angrily: "You kid is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know what to do, my old man is kind." The old man's words were beautiful, but he thought in his heart: This kid is quite determined, and he was not tempted by beauty, but he was half angry with himself, thinking that he had two brushes. This third set has to be dealt with calmly and send this kid home.

When Zhang Xianjin saw the old man's appearance, he was happy in his eyes, but he stopped talking.

Since the old man lost the second set, the third game was played by the old man first. The old man's first move was like a defensive posture.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianjin said secretly: If you want to defend, then I will take offense as defense and let you defend to death. Thinking of this, he heard a snap, and Zhang Xian was immediately shot.

The old man put his hand on the taxi and did not take the next step for a long time, as if he was thinking deeply.

Zhang Xianjin was not in a hurry, and took another sip of water and waited for the old man to fall.

When he went down to the sixth step of qi, Zhang Xianjin deliberately sold a flaw and exchanged his cannon for the old man's horse. The old man smiled when he saw this, and the reason was that the old man saw that Zhang Xianjian's cannon was used very well, and he suffered a big loss on Zhang Xianjian's cannon in the second set. And the horse did almost nothing, so the old man was willing to change, and it was a happy change.

As the saying goes, the horse changes and runs, and it doesn't count out. It seems that the two of them don't lose or earn, but Zhang Xinjin has an account in his heart. In the first two games of chess, the old man's horse was much better than his own running. Replacing the opponent's horse with your own run is equivalent to weakening the opponent's combat effectiveness.

Obviously, these two people are calculating their own account books in their hearts, but this old man is not as accurate as Zhang Xianjian's calculations, and when Zhang Xianjian's serial horses show their power, the old man took the case and shouted: "You kid yin me." ”

Zhang Xianjin smiled and spread his hands to show that he was innocent.

Seeing Zhang Xianjian's appearance, the old man suddenly laughed again, and then said: "I lost today, because my skills are not as good as others, and I didn't expect your horse to be better than a cannon." Young people are amazing, amazing. ”

Zhang Xinjin said: "Old man, concede, concede." ”

Director Xiao Wang saw that the two of them finished the third set, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Let's go to dinner first, it's almost over." I made a point of leaving the restaurant for the two of you. ”

The old man said, "I said, after playing chess, invite this kid to dinner." Director Wang, you go too. ”

Director Xiao Wang refused with a smile and said, "I'll continue to work in the afternoon." ”

The old man nodded and said, "That kid, you come with me." After finishing speaking, he strode in front, leaving no room for Zhang Xianjian.

This is exactly the first round of the game against the old man, and there is a plan to move two sets in a row.
