A great master of the Chaturan family once said that the true meaning of playing chess is to make reasonable use of mutual growth and mutual restraint. This statement has also been recognized by many chess players, but there has been no accurate conclusion on how to use it.

And in the chess principles that have been passed down from mouth to mouth and the chess games that have been handed down to this day, they are only constantly teaching generations of chess players a seemingly nonsense nonsense and adapting to the situation.

To put it bluntly, everything is on your own.

On the outskirts of the Forest of Chaos, in a small town fifty miles away from Colin, a game of military chess of the Chaturan family is unfolding.

Oss slowly pushes his blue piece onto one of Barber's red pieces, and then flips the two pieces over one after the other.

This was an offensive opportunity for Oss, and he walked his shadow on top of Bobble's shadow, which meant that he chose the confrontation of these two pieces.

Shadow against shadow is a unique way of playing military chess of the Chaturan family. Because in the real battlefield, the attacking and defending sides are not clear about each other's troops and strength before they fight.

The first thing Oss opened was his blue chess piece, which was clearly carved with a long sword, indicating that Oss was using infantry in this attack.

Oss then turned over Bobble's red chess piece, which was carved with a knight's spear, indicating that Bobble's class of troops here was cavalry.

The cavalry was infantry, so the losing side of this attack was Os.

Seeing this result, Oss was surprised and said, "Bobble, you are so bold. My mage pieces have entered the mage tower, and instead of using the assassin pieces to snipe, you sent out cavalry. ”

"You've already guessed it, so of course I'm going to do the opposite. Otherwise, if my last assassin pawn is not found and killed by you, what will I use to compete with your mage pawn? Bobble smiled, a kind of smugness after the calculation.

"Jiang is still old and spicy, Bobble, you are not only good at chess, but also have a lot of language traps. Your words dug me two holes. First, you definitely have more than one Assassin piece left, or I'll make a bet with you, if you really have one left, then I'll just throw in the towel right now. ”

Oss took a puff on his cigarette and looked at Bobble.

But Barber didn't accept Os's offer at all, but said, "You haven't said the second one yet." ”

So, Oss could only say: "The second one is that you call me Captain Oss, which is deliberately squeezing me." It seems that the first task I asked you to take over was the retreat mission, and you are not very satisfied. ”

If it was another person from the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce who heard Oss's words, he would definitely think wildly, thinking that Oss was dissatisfied with him and deliberately warned himself.

In fact, Barber knew that Oss was ridiculing himself, because he was also ridiculing him by calling him Captain Os just now. Oss and Barber have had a good relationship since they met, and the two often joke about each other.

So Barber didn't react to Oss's words at all, just pushed one of his shadows forward and started his attack.

"I don't dare to be dissatisfied with Captain Os, I still expect you to ask me for a high-level demon weapon from the dwarven tribe. ”

Oss nodded in satisfaction, a happy smile on his face. "Then it's up to you to perform. ”

The two of them are fighting on the chessboard on the one hand, and you are going back and forth in words.

After a moment of teasing, Oss got down to business.

"Bobble, what I just said is true, this is your first mission as a dandelion, but I have you carried out the retreat plan, I hope you don't have other ideas. Originally, my original plan was to stick to the dandelion sowing work, but after coming out of Shenyu City, I found that the situation was much more serious than I thought, so I had to change my plan. Otherwise, most of the small towns will be wiped out in this holy war. ”

Hearing this, Barber immediately stopped what he was doing, and Zhengse said: "Since I have chosen to join the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, then everything will be subject to the arrangements of the Chamber of Commerce." You don't need to take care of my feelings, and in my opinion, no matter what the task is, as long as it is beneficial to the development of the Chamber of Commerce, I will not have any complaints. ”

"That's good, that's good. Oss said as he used his own piece to capture one of Bobble's Assassin pieces.

Bobble smiled bitterly, he was a little suspicious that Oss had just talked to him about the mission in a very serious way, just to distract himself, so that he could find his assassin and kill him.

"Captain Os, you're really at a loss. "Barber is extremely heavy on the word commander.

"That's it. When Oss finished speaking, he laughed.

On the wide chessboard, the chess pieces are constantly pushed by the two to fight each other, and then one by one the pieces are taken away because they are defeated.

In the end, there were three blue pieces and three red pieces left on the board, and the game finally entered the final stage.

Oss twisted the infantry chess piece carved with the sword in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at Bobble and said.

"You still have two Mingzi and one Shadow. One of the two Mingzi is an infantry and the other is a cavalryman, so I bet that your last shadow is an assassin. ”

With that, Oss stared at Bobble's eyes tightly, hoping to see the flaw in them. But Bobble didn't have the slightest mood swing at all, and his eyes were still unwavering.

Neither the psychological warfare nor the verbal temptations worked, but Oss still chose to press the infantry piece in his hand directly on the red piece that had not yet been opened.

Bobble turned over his shadow with a look of regret, and it was indeed an assassin.

"Maybe my assassin is higher than your infantry, so there is no such thing as a restraint principle. ”

Oshaha laughed, "If this is not a mess, then I will also say that I, an infantryman, am a god of war." ”

The mage is a flying soldier, the flying soldier is a chariot, the chariot is a cavalry, the cavalry is an infantry, the infantry is an assassin, and the assassin is a mage.

Of course, the military chess of the Chaturan family is not such a simple comparison between the chess pieces and the chess pieces, which also involves the coordination of the complex terrain chess pieces and the chess pieces of the troops, as well as the treacherous fraud carried out by the reasonable use of blank chess pieces, as well as the qualitative changes caused by the accumulation of the number of chess pieces of the troops.

And so on and so forth.

Despite the variety of tactics and techniques, no one can deny that the basis of all this is based on the principle of mutual restraint of the pawns of the troops.

Bobble slowly lit a cigarette before saying, "That's true, I admit defeat." You have a mage pawn left hiding inside the mage tower, and my remaining cavalry and infantry pose no threat to it. ”

"It's not easy for me to win you once, don't look aggrieved. Do the math yourself, if we have played so many chess returns, I have won only a handful of times. Oss gathered up the chessboard and pieces and said to Bobble.

Bobble leaned back in his chair and watched Oss clean up the mess, he didn't have any intention of helping. "That's not because I'm good at chess, it's because you're too good. ”

The meaning of the word dish, Barber still learned from Oss, and now that he says it, it can be regarded as living and learning.

Oss didn't care, "I admit that I'm really a good guy, and I'll introduce you to a little fat guy named Colin when I have a chance in the future, and you can learn from him." ”

Bobble looked at Oss with a good-looking look on his face, and he knew that this man named Colin must be very good at chess.

While the two were talking, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from not far away.

Oss turned his head to see that it was Angelina, a little girl, walking towards the two of them with a tray. On the tray was a teapot and two teacups, as well as a small plate of snacks.

After approaching, Angelina said shyly, "Big Brother Os, Uncle Bobber." You haven't slept so late, I'll bring you some tea and food. ”

With that, Angelina placed the tray on the low table that Oss had just cleaned up.

"Thank you little Angelina. Oss and Barber spoke at the same time.

Angelina's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "I... I'll go to bed first. No thanks..."

After saying that, the little girl turned and ran away.

Looking at Angelina's distant back, Oss said to Barber with a hint of pleading: "You are in charge of the retreat plan of this small town, and I want to ask you to help me take care of little Angelina." I hope she can arrive safely in Divine Domain City and live happily. ”

After spitting out a smoke ring, Bobble said solemnly: "Don't worry, it's my responsibility." ”

It turns out that the small town where Oss and Barber are now is the same one where the unicorn mercenary group was stationed before, and here, Oss and Angelina also bought a broken dagger.

Suddenly, at the extreme height of the drizzly dark night sky, a white ball of light visible to the naked eye exploded in the air, illuminating a large area of rain clouds around it. The white light exploded and formed a tall giant figure.

Oss and Barber looked up into the air at the same time, a solemn look in their eyes.

And thirty miles away from the small town, a team that had just been preparing to rest was also alarmed by this white light.

A beautiful girl with a baby's fat face, carrying a staff of human height, was also looking up into the air. Inside her windswept swunging robe, a scepter the length of an adult's forearm loomed.

About forty miles away from the place where the white light burst out, in a camp with thirty people, a tall woman wearing heavy armor slowly walked out, the woman could not tell her age, but her figure was plump and graceful, and her aura was abnormal. And on the chest of his armor, there is a carved pattern that is exactly the same as the white light and shadow in the air.

As the tall woman gazed at the light and shadow in the air, a petite and gorgeous woman in a white mage robe walked up to her and spoke slowly. "Commander?"

The tall woman nodded slightly and said, "It's a distress signal, looking at the scale of this signal, there should be a top team attacked, and it's already in danger." ”

The petite woman asked again, "Then let's rush over now?"

The tall woman shook her head, "It's none of our business, I'm not here to wipe these rubbish asses, I can't even win a fight, and I have the face to ask for help, so I died as soon as possible." Let's go back to sleep, we'll get up tomorrow morning and empty all the Holy Empire teams in that area, there must be a big fish over there." ”
