Chapter Ninety-Nine: Learning Chess
After Meng Xing took out the Go board and wiped it several times, the two elders made a cup of tea and began to play chess.
By the time Meng Xing finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, the two had already made dozens of moves.
Although Meng Xing had heard of Go, he had never played it, and he didn't even understand the rules, and after reading it for a few minutes, when he was about to practice calligraphy, Liu Jian told Meng Xing that it was in the bookstore, and there was a book called Introduction to Go for Meng Xing to take out and see.
"Huh!?"
Lin Bo looked at Liu Jian strangely, "I remember that you are a flag lover, why don't you teach your little apprentice!?" ”
"People are getting old, and their mental strength can't keep up."
Liu Jian sighed, and his expression seemed to show a hint of remembrance, "To be honest, if you don't come, I'm afraid my chessboard will be cut down and burned as firewood." ”
When Lin Bo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Xing found the rather ancient book that Liu Jian said from the bookstore.
Then he sat on the sidelines, flipping through the books and watching the two elders play Go......
In this way, after more than half an hour, the two of them had already covered most of the chessboard.
After this period of time, Meng Xing finally had a preliminary concept of Go, and from the chessboard, the two were on par.
At this time, Lin Bo suddenly said: "Brother Liu, I know I can't hide it from you, so I'll tell you the truth!" I came to you this time, and I did come for Zhicheng, this child. ”
"Huh!?"
Meng Xing's expression moved slightly, the other party was still hiding before, how could he now become straightforward.
Meng Xing first glanced at Lin Bo, and then glanced at his master, only to see Liu Jian looking at the chessboard intently, with an indifferent look.
"I know!"
Liu Jian nodded, but his mind was thinking and calculating.
"Liu Zhicheng is already in his twenties, and he is at this age when he goes out, but this kid is also filial, knowing that you don't agree, he is willing to nest in this small place, but isn't this a little unfair to him......"
"Smack!"
Liu Jian dropped Baizi on the chessboard and interrupted, "It's your turn." ”
After Lin Bo thought about it, he then left a son and continued to speak: "In a situation like Zhicheng, you are fine now, but after ten or twenty years, once you are in the ground, you will leave here sooner or later!" I think it's better to leave late than early, after all, his current age is a golden age, and I'm afraid it's too late to really go for more than ten years......"
Meng Xing, who was sitting on the side and watching the battle silently, suddenly moved in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at his master.
I learned from Dameng's phone call that his master will die in a few years, judging from the current master's physical condition, it should not be a problem to live for more than ten years, but why will it be ...... in five or six years?
Unconsciously, Meng Xing's heart seemed to be blocked by something.
And just when Meng Xing was still thinking nonsense, the two elders were in the fight between you and me, and when Liu Guo reacted, the situation had already turned to Liu Jian's side.
"Brother, what do you mean by saying so much? You have to give your opinion, right? ”
Lin Bo said a lot, but Liu Jian didn't react at all, which made Lin Bo feel helpless.
But Liu Jian still didn't say a word, dropped a piece on the chessboard, and then looked at Lin Bo.
Lin Bo rolled his eyes, put his eyes on the chessboard, and after thinking for a while, he finally gave up and conceded defeat......
"Another game?"
Lin Bo and Liu Jian have been friends for decades, so they naturally know the weakness of their old friend, once there is a time when they want to talk to the other party, it is best to be at the chess table, so that no matter what they say, the other party will not be angry.
Now that he has not finished what he wants to say, he naturally has to play chess.
"Forget it! You're restless now, and even if you do, you're going to lose. ”
Liu Jian waved his hand.
"Maybe that's possible!"
Lin Bo's gaze swept thoughtfully at Liu Jian, "That's it!" This time, I will let you take the lead in the black, if I win, you will let Liu Jian go with me, how about it? ”
"Huh!?"
Liu Jian glanced at Lin Bo in surprise, the two had been friends for many years, and when they were not retired, the two often got together to talk about games.
In comparison, the opponent's chess strength will always be weaker than your own.
You must know that Black has a certain advantage in the layout because of the first move, so he will let the opponent take the black first.
But I didn't expect the other party to propose such a gamble!?
This is equivalent to a gamble that will undoubtedly be lost, with Liu Jian's understanding of Lin Bo, the other party is not like a person who will make such a decision!
Liu Jian was suddenly vigilant in his heart, and realized that there was fraud in it.
"How?"
Although Liu Jian didn't know what the other party was doing, he wouldn't be fooled: "If you play chess, you will play chess, what are you doing with these things?" ”
Looking at the other party's stubborn appearance, Lin Bo couldn't help sighing, "Brother Liu, Zhicheng is already so big, you can't keep stopping him like this, right!?" ”
Looking at Liu Jian's indifferent appearance, Lin Bo suddenly began to play tricks: "I'll tell you the truth, Zhicheng, I'm bound to take it away, just tell me the truth, when are you willing to let me go?" ”
Liu Jian's tone turned light, revealing a resoluteness that he had never felt before: "Wait for the day when I can't stop it!" ”
"You ......"
Lin Bo's face changed, and he faintly showed a bit of anger, "Do you really want to do this?" ”
Liu Jian didn't say much, got up, walked directly into the back room, and said as he walked: "My words have been spoken, if you want to stay, please do it yourself, if you want to leave, I won't stop you." ”
Lin Bo took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the anger in his heart, and couldn't help but curse in his mouth, "This old bastard ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party's little apprentice, staring at him with his eyes open, and finally swallowed the words he wanted to scold......
"Boy, your master is gone, you and I have a game!"
Lin Bo paid attention to Meng Xing's body.
When Meng Xing heard this, he waved his hand again and again, "I won't!" ”
To be honest, if it weren't for seeing Liu Jian and Lin Bo playing chess today, Meng Xing wouldn't have known about playing chess at all.
"Since you haven't been down, then I'll let you hold the black, and then let you have four sons."
Meng Xing glanced at the other party, feeling that the other party just wanted to vent his anger, and responded a little unwillingly: "Okay!" ”
Looking at the criss-crossing chessboard, Meng Xing took a deep breath, his body and mind gradually quieted down, and the book of Go Primers he had read before slowly appeared in his mind, and he placed the black chess pieces in the four-pointed star position and stood firm.
Lin Bo glanced at Meng Xing, compared to Meng Xing's decent start, he would have to advance a lot more.
In the first 40 hands, they moved back to the situation little by little to save the original disadvantage.
Originally, Lin Bo was still a little worried that this kid was deliberately clumsy, after all, he could become the apprentice of the old monster, so he instinctively was wary of him, and he didn't dare to let him go too much.
But looking at the opponent's current opening, it seems that the opponent is not lying, and the opponent is indeed playing chess for the first time.
Lin Bo had a son who didn't have a son, so he reached the middle game, and the chess momentum had already fallen to Lin Bo's side.
