In front of the old Jianghu was a piece of paper with a chessboard drawn, and the left and right sides were written: "A true gentleman who watches chess without saying anything" and "A good man who is a good man when he lands on the ground". There are a few pieces sparsely placed on the chessboard. It's clear that this is an endgame. When I saw the chessboard, and then looked at the businessman, I always felt that he had a "please bet" indifference.

The red chess pieces on the chessboard have a handsome, a cannon, a soldier and two horses, the handsome according to the middle palace, the cannon arrives at the front camp, the soldiers enter the enemy's nest, and the horses are divided into two roads, showing a trend of taking. On the other hand, the black chess seems to have a large number of soldiers, with a double soldier and a single elephant in a garrison formation, a cannon and a carriage pawn, and they go deep into the enemy's den, all of which are single-handed, but they take care of each other. For black, it can be said that it can be attacked, retreated, and defended. Red has to be forced to press step by step, otherwise the defeat is assured.

Zhang Jiujiu's master did not let him memorize the chess game, and the chess game set by the old businessman was far worse than the one he knew. Zhang Jiujiu's understanding is very high, but he can't be down-to-earth. In Master's words, it is that there are lice on the body, and I can't calm down. If it weren't for his understanding, he could be cultivated as a national player.

A chess game is a game between opponents, whether it is chess or Go, its complexity and changeability are not something that everyone can accurately perceive, and can only be grasped after learning to master it. And there are only a few people who can become masters, and almost all of these people are extremely talented and perceptive. Zhang Jiujiu is one of those people.

Chinese chess has a long history in China and is a kind of two-person confrontation. Because of the simplicity and fun of the utensils, it has become a very popular chess activity.

Although the master did not ask Zhang Jiujiu to make achievements in chess, he also taught him a lot of chess skills. Zhang Jiujiu is also very fond of chess. Master runs an antique shop, the antique shop is a strange business, and the other businesses can only be profitable when the customers are full, and the antique shop is not open for three years, and it is open for three years. Therefore, the master is relatively idle, and often plays chess with a few old guys who are also in the antique street.

Zhang Jiujiu rarely calmed down and watched a few games, and this level naturally grew a lot. He didn't look at it for a while to see the key to the endgame, but when it comes to solving the game, there is no drama for a while.

Let's look at the layout of the chess game: the position of the red chess pieces is (the position of the old businessman is close to the starting row, the right hand is the starting column, and the number of digits is the first and last column), the handsome is in the first and fifth positions, the cannon is in the fifth and third positions, the first horse is in the sixth and ninth positions, the second horse is in the ninety-third position, and the pawns are in the ninety-fourth position; The position of the black chess piece is (the position of the old businessman is far from the starting row, the left hand is the starting column, and the number of digits is the first and last column), and it will be in the first and fifth positions, the elephant is in the first or three places, the first soldier is in the second and fifth positions, the second soldier is in the third and fourth positions, the cannon is in the six or five positions, the pawn is in the ninety-four positions, the rook is in the ninety-six positions, and the horse is in the ninety-seven positions.

The middle-aged man with a mustache holding a handbag clasped his arms in his hands, standing leisurely in a T-shaped step, tapping rhythmically on the tip of his right foot, and looking around casually with his two small eyes.

The young man in the striped pattern shorts next to him squinted at the middle-aged man with a mustache from time to time, and muttered quietly to the young man with glasses, in fact, it can't be regarded as muttering, at least everyone around him can hear his voice, his hands are gesturing back and forth, pointing and pointing. "If only black could move first, it would be won. You see, I just need to push the car to the middle, and he can only skim the handsome. No, there is a better way, this is obviously a retreat from the car has become a lying horse called the general's bureau, there is a river crossing guard next to him, his veteran will not move left and right, this is a step. ”

Seeing that the man with glasses ignored him, he continued, "It's troublesome for this red chess to go first, he wants the red chess to go first, if it is a step by step, don't give me a chance to take this step." Still can't pick black. Let's see how red moves. ”

The man with glasses nodded thoughtfully. The man in shorts saw that there was a door, and pressed step by step: "If you choose red chess, you can only have a general for every move." Looking at this game of chess, it seems that there are quite a few moves that can be made. ”

The middle-aged man with a black hat on the right hand side of the man with glasses followed suit: "There are too many black chess pieces, it's in the way, if only I could remove a few." ”

"How can black still play? It's all yours! The man in shorts confronted, "The chess pieces on this chessboard are all useful here and there, and none of them can be missing!" ”

The reason why the endgame has the value of its existence lies in the hidden mysteries in its chess game, which are step-by-step and mutually contained. One more word will turn the tide, and one less will make it less difficult. Almost every endgame has been improved step by step through the unremitting efforts of several generations or even dozens of generations. Some endgames are simply left over from the difficult battles of the evenly matched masters.

Chinese chess is broad and profound, and there are many famous games in history that have survived, such as the most famous Chinese chess four endgames: Seven Stars Gathering, Earthworms Descending Dragons, Wild Horses Playing the Fields, and Walking Alone for a Thousand Miles. Others include Dapeng spreading its wings, Dajiu Lianhuan, Danfeng Chaoyang and so on. Most of these endgames are delicate moves, corresponding offense and defense, complex changes, and fascinating. Jianghu endgame cracking, also known as folk arrangement, is a novel and concise layout structure, giving people the illusion that they can win at will, which is quite tempting. In fact, the chess path is endlessly varied, with deep twists and turns, and clever traps, which are fascinating.

I don't know how many experts have repeatedly scrutinized, rehearsed, and perfected the endgame games that have been preserved. How can this chess piece be added when it is said to be added and subtracted when it is said to be subtracted? The two of them are just grinding their mouths, just trying to be happy for a while.

"Then we have to find a way to eat the chess pieces that get in the way in the process of the general." The black hat made a concession.

"There are only two kinds of chess moves for the red chess general, the flat cannon can be generalized, and the army can also be generalized. If it was a flat cannon, could he? Will or retire the priest. Then the next step will be difficult. The soldier can only take one step, even if it is a general, the veteran will lick it directly! The man in shorts continued to be the docent.

"You can only use soldiers and generals to give up your horse legs, and you can't eat soldiers and generals, and you will definitely be eaten after the soldiers are finished, so you have to leave a gun rack for yourself. There aren't many people who can use it! "The middle-aged man in the black hat also spares no effort.

"Doesn't he have a soldier and an elephant left? Besides, my two horses are not waste, so why don't you just get over by yourself? The man in the shorts was unimpressed.

"Can other people's pawns listen to your command? Then you can go down alone! The middle-aged man in the black hat had a heated discussion, some of them looked down on the man in shorts, and his tone was full of contempt.

"Leaning on these two horses as a cannon mount? That's going to have to be enough steps. The mustache also said in a somewhat disdainful tone.

The man with glasses was indifferent to the battle situation between the two on the left and right, holding his chin in one hand and holding his chest in the other, staring at the chessboard through the lenses as thick as the bottom of a bottle, as if he was thinking about the chess moves, his lips were still slightly open and closed, as if he was muttering something.

At this time, the middle-aged mustache seemed to be careless, and brushed the hair under the root of the ear with his right hand. The man in shorts kept an eye on him, as if waiting for some command. Seeing that the mustache smoothed his hair, he quietly looked to both sides, and put his hand into his pocket with exaggerated movements, and when he took it out again, he was holding a large handful of banknotes, all of which were fiery red hundred-yuan bills. "Uncle, how much money can I make?" In fact, the rules of the old businessman have long been said, and the man in shorts still asked deliberately.

"One hundred two hundred and three hundred at will, I will pay as much as you press, be thrifty and frugal, don't force it, the more you press, the more you get! As long as you win, the money you pressed will be returned to you as it is, and I will pay you as much as you press. The old businessman's squinted eyes opened slightly, and he looked at the man in shorts, still with an indifferent face.

"Okay, I'll go a little more, I'll go down two hundred, anyway, it will be mine in the end!" As he spoke, he took out two hundred and handed them to the old businessman. "I choose red, I play first, right?" While talking, he squatted down, and his hand was not idle, he directly grabbed the "soldier" and sank to the bottom. This move is to lure black to eat his pawn. If Black will eat pawns, then Red will shoot three and four, and will die directly.

The old businessman moved the veteran to the other side. Red chess can be a draw or a cannon against an elephant. The man in shorts chose the former. The old businessman had to go in and avoid the army. As soon as the man in shorts picked up the "horse" on the other side, the four old man tickets were handed over. "The young man is good, he has courage, and he has good chess skills, which is what you should be." The old businessman didn't say much, and the shogi game was back to the way it was.

"It's all unraveled, are you still swinging like this?" There were people around who were worried about the old comrades.

"There are many ways to break this game, and the young man only took one way just now, and he didn't finish it, and I listened to what he said, and I knew that he would definitely win when I looked at his first two moves. Others can go on. The old businessman replied categorically.

The man in shorts put the money he had won into his trouser pocket, smiled triumphantly, and stood up. Seeing that he got the money, the people around him began to blush. The man with glasses couldn't wait to take out his wallet. First, he drew out an old man's ticket, and after a little hesitation, he drew out four more. Five brand-new banknotes* were handed to the old businessman. He regretted it now, the shorts man had the easiest way, he had thought of it a long time ago, if he hadn't hesitated, the money would have arrived now. "I can't be preempted this time," he thought.

As he took out the money, two men walked up behind him, apparently waiting for him to crouch down to make up a good spot. A few fashionable girls passed by, stopped to look, and did not stop. Who are they interested in this? It's all old men's stuff. If you have time, you might as well visit a few more discount stores, and maybe you can scan a lot of goods again!

The man with glasses seems to be very positive, and the money will be in hand soon, how can he not be in a hurry?
