Chapter 10 Playing Chess
It's starting to snow again!
From the early hours of the morning, snowflakes flutter and fall from the sky. It only took one morning for the earth to change into a white and immaculate coat again.
Alas! I sighed, I wanted to take these two days off to wash my big pile of dirty clothes, but it seems that I am going to be in the soup again. But it's not a big deal, anyway, I don't change my clothes very often in winter, and I can still support it if I wait two days.
My little sister was very excited after getting up today, and she always told the same thing: tonight is Xu Shu's solo concert. I'm so excited! I'm so happy, I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait;;;;;;
In order to avoid my little sister's mental scratching and eardrum bombardment, I had to brave the heavy snow and go out to buy a pack of cigarettes. Of course, I won't come back after a half-day trip.
The snow is heavy and the snow is deep, plus there are very few pedestrians on the streets today Saturday. I struggled to walk step by step in the snow. After buying two packs of cigarettes at the shop, I thought about where to go for half a day, and with such a heavy snowfall, I really couldn't think of a place where I could stay for a while.
By accident, I saw a signboard across the street that read: Kobayashi Go Hall.
Who is Kobayashi? Kobayashi Koichi?
I couldn't help but laugh and finally found a place to spend time.
It's been a long time since I've played Go! I think when I first entered college, I was led by a roommate named Liu Hui to be crazy and obsessed with Go. Liu Hui has been trained in Go since he was very young, and he has also worshipped a Master, and his chess skills are frighteningly high. Later, for some unknown reason, he gave up his career choice and was admitted to university. I wondered how he could have the level of a beginner professional, and he himself said something that he would be proud of all his life. Once, by chance, he played a game of handicap with national player Yu Bin, and he won in the middle game. He memorized the game by heart, and at least played it for me more than six or seven times.
Under the guidance of Liu Hui, I studied Go assiduously for a year, from the level where Liu Hui asked my nine sons to still kill me without leaving a piece of armor, until later he let me let my second son lose more and win less, and let my third son win less and lose more. It only took a year, and it's not a professional training, so it's good to be able to reach this level.
Liu Hui once said that I was barely a Go genius, but I learned chess too late and had no hope of catching up with him in my life. No matter how hard I study, I still have the level of being given two or three sons by him. Later, when I saw that I couldn't make progress, I became bored and gave up studying.
It's not like I never played chess since I graduated from college, but I played very little. I estimate that my level is between the amateur 2nd and 3rd dan, and people of this level have a lot of chess clubs in the city, so I never go to that place to play chess. And since I joined the work, my free time has become less and less, and my work has gradually become busy, so I have put this Go on hold and haven't touched it for a long time.
Today, it was snowing heavily and the weather was freezing, and I had nothing to do, but a chess hall appeared in front of me, and naturally, I walked in.
The chess hall is on the second floor, the heating is on, which makes me feel very comfortable, the venue is very small, there are not many people playing chess inside, only two pairs of people are playing against each other, and there are no onlookers.
A middle-aged man with a bald head and the appearance of a chess hall owner saw me walk in, smiled and asked, "Do you want to play chess?" Several? ”
I said, "I'm alone, just take a look." ”
"Oh, then I'll make you a cup of tea."
I know he's going to collect money from me as soon as he makes tea, but I'm going to mix here for a while anyway. I nodded, and walked over to one of the chess pairs at the table to watch.
The pair were in their fifties and were staring intently at the board. A piece of black chess on the chessboard is being besieged by white, seeing that it is moving left and right, it is impossible to escape the encirclement of white, I estimate that after a few more moves, this black dragon will be killed, and this chess will be over.
At this time, the boss came over with the brewed tea, handed it to me, and said with a smile: "Young man, do you know how to play chess?" How boring it is to look alone, do you want me to find you an opponent?
I knew that I would have to pay a game fee for a game of chess, but I was here to kill time, and I thought that the boss was referring to himself, so I said, "Okay! Come on! ”
The boss was overjoyed when he heard this, so he shouted to one of the rooms inside: "Xiaolin, come out to play chess." ”
There was no response in the room. The boss smiled at me and shouted, "Xiaolin! Come on, don't make people wait. ”
A female voice came from the room: "Come on, come on, what do you urge!" The door opened, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old came out, wearing a loose sweater and a pair of jeans underneath. But when he walked in front of us, his eyes were facing the sky, and there was no one in his eyes.
The boss smiled and introduced: "This is my niece Xiaolin, the chess ability is okay, you guys go and take a look first." ”
Miss Kobayashi sat down in front of a chessboard first, and I had no choice but to sit down. I saw that the other party was just a little girl, although the younger the Go thing, the more you can't underestimate him, but there is always a little contempt in my heart.
The more surprising thing was behind, and Miss Xiaolin directly took Baizi to her right hand, and then asked me with her nostrils facing the sky: "How is the chess ability?" How many sons do you need me to make? ”
I was really taken aback, it's really unseemly, the sea is incomprehensible, such a young and innocent little girl, is she a Go master?
I immediately put away my contempt, sat up straight, and said respectfully: "I'm about the level of the early stage of amateurism, how many do you think I can make?" "I haven't played chess for a long time, and my hand must be very good, so I underestimate myself so that I don't make too much of a fool of myself.
Miss Xiaolin said: "The first stage? Then you can put three of them. ”
"I'm even more surprised, the third son of the amateur junior section is either the top 7 dan in the amateur, or the low dan in the major, at such a young age, and it is a female surname, which is incredible.
I honestly placed three sunspots on the three pointed star positions and waited for her to make a move.
Miss Xiaolin grabbed a white child with one hand, and suddenly said to me: "By the way, let me make it clear in advance, I play handicap chess, and I will receive 100 for winning the game fee, and only 50 for losing, no opinion, right?" ”
I think since graduating from university, I haven't played a game of chess with a master, and although 50 or 100 is a bit expensive, it's worth it. Then he nodded and said, "No comment." ”
When Miss Xiaolin saw that I agreed, she stopped talking, waved her hand, "snapped", and slapped the white child on my lower left and hung the corner!
More than 30 hands, I have seen that she is about Liu Hui's level, when I was in college, I played more than 200 games of handicap chess with Liu Hui, I can say that I have a unique skill in handicap chess, and then Liu Hui let me have three sons, he has to lose eight games in ten games, and at least six games are lost in the middle game. So this game of chess did not last long, white in the attack on the lower left of the black chess, not only failed to take the slightest advantage, but fell behind, I took the opportunity to "snap", on the upper left empty corner star position to shoot a shot, the four corner star positions are exhausted, the advantage is obvious.
Miss Kobayashi looked up at me and said, "The chess skills are good, not only in the first stage, right?" He sat up straight and began to get serious.
At this time, a few people came to the chess hall one after another, probably all of them were regulars, and when they saw the Xiaolin girl playing chess, they all came around to watch. At this moment, I was in a good mood, so I took out the cigarette I had just bought, opened it and wanted to smoke it. On the other side, the Xiaolin girl knocked twice on the table with a white zi, pointed to a note on the wall and said: "Please pay attention to public morality, smoking is prohibited in the chess room, if you want to suck, please go outside to suck, and then come in after sucking." ”
I saw that the note on the wall really said no smoking, and smiled bitterly, but there was no way to do it, although it was much colder outside than in the room, but the cigarette still had to be smoked.
For the sake of public morality, I said, "I'm sorry! Then he got up and walked to the outside of the chess hall, lit a cigarette and smoked it.
I had just taken two puffs when my phone rang. I looked at the display screen, this number should be Qiu Jieqin's. I sighed and pressed the answer button: "Hello? ”
"It's me."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I just miss you, what are you doing?"
"Play chess."
"What chess? Go?
"yes!"
"You can also play Go?"
"What's wrong?"
"That's great, my dad is a chess fan, and you two will have a common language in the future;;;;;; Hehe, I'm saying this, isn't it too early? ”
“;;;;;;”
"Don't be angry, I don't mean anything else."
"No, are you okay? I'm halfway through here. ”
"Yes, at night;;;;;; You're really not going to a concert, are you? ”
"I really don't go, I don't have a ticket."
"If you don't go, then I won't either. In the evening, let's find a quiet place to sit, I';;;;;; Would love to see you. ”
“;;;;;;”
"Don't think about it, I'm not rushing you to make a decision. We're finally old classmates, so why don't we catch up and chat? And;;;;;; I really want to see you.
It suddenly occurred to me that I might not be able to refuse her, because she always grasped my psyche and made it impossible for me to say no, and I couldn't bear to say no. Who would refuse a small request from a poor bastard, a woman of deep tenderness for you?
I said to her on the phone: "Well, wait for my call at night, if I have nothing to do, I will go sit with you." ”
Qiu Xie Qin said happily: "Really? Talking counts? ”
"Don't worry! So that's it for now? Hung up. ”
I hung up my phone, took a few more puffs of the remaining cigarette in my hand, and returned to the chess room.
When the young girl who was waiting impatiently saw me coming back, she frowned slightly, picked up a white child, and launched an attack on the black child in my lower right corner.
