Everyone was curious, Yuan Ning'an had already made a gesture to make people open the brocade covering the car, and then everyone saw a boxy thing appear, like a pillar, but it was square in shape, but it was wooden. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, there's a chessboard on it!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Those who saw it could already see clearly that the square pillar was as tall as a man, and each side was engraved with a chessboard, and no matter which direction you looked at, you could see the chessboard on the board.

It is also strange to say that the chessboard on this has already fallen chess pieces, black and white, sticking to the chessboard, and not falling off, but has formed a chess game.

Qi Ning could only see one chessboard, heard the movement around him, and soon understood that there were chess games engraved on all sides of this pillar, but he didn't know if the chess games on each side were the same, but he didn't expect that the chess game would move and send such a large chessboard over.

However, he was soon relieved, and in order to ensure fairness, such a chess game was exposed to everyone's eyes, and everyone knew the difference between superior and inferior.

But he saw the dean of Yunshan Academy get up and arch his hand to Yuan Ning'an and asked, "Boss, what is this?" "Look at the strange pillar, full of inquiry.

Yuan Ning'an said: "On all sides of this wooden pillar, there are chessboards, and everyone has seen that the chessboard has been settled, and the chess game is kept. ”

"Breaking the game?" Everyone was stunned.

"The chess game that keeps on all four sides is exactly the same." Yuan Ning'an said slowly: "This is the endgame left by the ancient sages, and the challenger can hold the white son!" With that, he made a gesture, and soon saw four young men dressed in pure black walking to the edge of the wooden pillar, standing on the four sides of the wooden pillar, hanging their hands and waiting for their orders.

"The disciples of the nine major academies participating in the competition, there is no limit to the number of places this time, and the eight disciples representing the major academies participating in the competition can all give it a try." Yuan Ning'an stroked his beard and smiled: "If anyone can break the game first, then it will be considered the winner." He raised his hand and said, "You guys can step forward now to break the game." ”

Although Yuan Ning'an said this, the major academies did not rush up, and each academy still sent one person forward.

Qi Ning was not proficient in chess, and knew that he couldn't use much strength in this round, so he turned around and asked, "Which of you is going to break the game this time?" ”

The women looked at each other, and only then did one of them say, "Xiao Yao and Qin Yi are both good at playing chess." ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning smiled: "Okay, anyway, the rules say, everyone who participates can challenge, and everyone can go and take a look later." ”

A woman was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Qi, in fact, in Go, breaking the game is the most difficult, and I don't know if I can do it." ”

Qi Ning instantly knew that this girl should be Qin Yi, and asked with a smile, "How do you say this?" ”

"The endgame left by the ancients is either a dead end, and it is difficult for both sides of the game to continue, which is called a dead end." Qin Yi obviously really has some means in chess, explaining: "The other is that when the game is played, there is a very wonderful offensive and defensive situation, which is very conceivable, this kind of chess game has been handed down, and it is passed down to future generations because of the wonderful game process, which is called a live game." ”

"Can you see the chess game up there?" Qi Ning pointed to the center of the field, "Is that a desperate game or a live game?" ”

Qin Yi said: "I can't see it completely clearly, but if it's a live game, it's okay, as long as you have a deep study of chess skills and have seen many famous games, you may be able to repeat the live games of your predecessors on the chessboard." But if it's a dead end, then it's troublesome. ”

"Are you saying that even the chess game that the predecessors have not gone down to, there is no way to crack it?" Qi Ning asked.

Xiao Yao pursed her lips and smiled on the side, and said: "Sir, the one you are talking about is a dead game, the dead game comes to the end, and both sides have no way out, but when you play a game, it is not easy to play a dead game, and today's chess game, if you really take the dead game as a test, no one can pass it, but it is better not to take the test." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said, "What's the difference between a dead game and a dead end?" ”

"The dead end is that there is really no way out." Xiao Yao said: "Although the desperate situation seems to have no way out and is in a desperate situation, it still retains the last glimmer of hope, as long as you can find the trick, you can also come back to life." ”

"I see." Qi Ning bowed slightly.

Qin Yi also said: "Some of the endgames left by their predecessors, they couldn't break the game themselves at that time, but they copied the endgame and passed it on to future generations to break the game, and many of the endgames were cracked by later generations." After a pause, he said: "But this kind of desperate situation is already very rare, once the desperate situation is cracked, it can no longer be included in the desperate situation." ”

A group of people in Qionglin Academy were talking in a low voice, but the disciples of the other major academies had already arrived at the edge of the wooden pillar, and the four black-clothed people guarding the side of the wooden pillar were all waiting for someone to come up to challenge.

After a while, I suddenly saw a person arch his hand and said, "Ding Qingshan of Mingyue Academy asks for advice!" ”

At the bottom of the chess game, there is a chess box specially connected to the wooden pillar, which contains black and white pieces, but the raw materials for the chess pieces are very special, not ordinary chess pieces.

Ding Qingshan asked for battle, and several disciples of Mingyue Academy immediately stepped forward.

Ding Qingshan was the first to fall, the man in black obviously knew this chess game well, and he was also well aware of the next changes, every time Ding Qingshan fell, the man in black almost didn't think about it, and immediately followed the sunspot.

In fact, in the Eight Academies, although the disciples in the academies may not be proficient in all kinds of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, they still know more or less about it.

After Ding Qingshan began to fall, everyone looked at it, thinking that Ding Qingshan was sent out to fight by Mingyue Academy as a chess player, and it really made some sense, at least in the eyes of everyone, every time Ding Qingshan fell, it was the best choice.

At first, it was smooth, but after losing more than 20 sons in a row, Ding Qingshan's speed slowed down, and every time he fell, the man in black didn't want to follow him, it seemed extremely relaxed, everyone present was naturally smart, seeing the man in black falling so smoothly, he understood in his heart that the other party obviously knew Ding Qingshan's routine.

The so-called breaking of the game, is to come up with a way to turn defeat into victory, a careless, all the games are lost, even if it is a wrong move, the situation will be changed, as the defender of the black seed, of course, the white counterattack of all kinds of possibilities are counted in it.

At this time, another person on the side also began to come forward to challenge.

The venue of nearly 1,000 people was silent at this moment.

Qi Ning thought to himself that it was okay to play backgammon against Go, if he really wanted to play against others, he would naturally not be able to please anything, and any of the chess players sent by the Eight Academies would probably make him want to die, and he was even said to challenge the endgame left by the ancients.

Don't say anything about the end of the game, even if those so-called live situations are in front of you, you are also black-eyed, you can't break the live game, but it is not a big problem to be killed by yourself.

The last hope can only rely on Xiao Yao and Qin Yi later.

But it's not easy to think about Yao's mother, raising Xiao Yao alone, Xiao Yao is not only as smart as a flower, but also smart and kind, and what is more difficult is that she can play chess with skill.

Suddenly, I saw a shout from over there: "Senior brother, senior brother Ding!" Qi Ning followed the sound and looked, only to see that Ding Qingshan of Mingyue Academy was sitting on the ground at this time, and the senior brothers on the side hugged him to support him, and there was a bang in all directions, Qi Ning frowned, only to see the disciples of Mingyue Academy helping Ding Qingshan back to sit down, and Ding Qingshan looked pale and stunned.

"Ding Qingshan of Mingyue Academy failed to break the game!" The black-clothed man who was playing against Ding Qingshan stood up straight again, his hands down, and announced in a loud voice.

Qi Ning heard Qin Yi's voice behind him: "Ding Qingshan is actually defeated? His chess skills are among the top three among the disciples of the Eight Great Academies, even him! The tone was a little surprised.

At this moment, two more people in the field challenged one after another, and everyone tried to keep quiet as much as possible and not disturb the chess players to break the game.

After a while, I heard another person say in a loud voice: "Sanyuan Academy Ma Yihang failed to break the game!" ”

"Yunshan Academy Zhou Lu failed to break the game!"

"Longchi Academy Gongsun Tu failed to break the game!"

In just half an hour, almost all the academy chess players who stepped forward to challenge were defeated, and at this time, only one person was still patiently breaking the game, while the others were either defeated or did not dare to come forward at all.

It is necessary to know that the disciples of the Eight Great Academies are the elite of the elite, and the chess players who can be sent by the Eight Great Academies are not to mention how many are ranked in the world, but they can still be ranked more or less in Dachu, but at this moment, most of the chess players sent by the Eight Great Academies to challenge have already been defeated, and others asked themselves how much there is still a big gap between the chess path and the few people who were defeated, and how dare they step forward to bring humiliation on themselves.

"Now I can only look at Zhu Lun from Xifeng Academy." Qin Yi lowered his voice and said: "Zhu Lun is recognized as the number one chess master of the Eight Academies, if even he is defeated, no one will be able to break today's chess game." ”

At this time, everyone's eyes were indeed focused on Zhu Lun of Xifeng Academy, and the old dean of Xifeng Academy looked quite nervous, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

The eight major academies have been defeated and retreated, if Zhu Lun can really break the game, it will naturally be a blockbuster, even if Xifeng Academy can't get a good ranking today, but with Zhu Lun's brilliance, he can leave the book club with his head held high.

Zhu Lun looked quite calm, carrying one hand behind his back, and every time he landed, he also looked quite cautious.

Time passed, but everyone present did not feel tired, and no one even felt bored, but felt that it was extremely tense and exciting, and the endgame that could make most of the people in the Eight Great Academies lose was naturally not trivial, some people really hoped that Zhu Lun could crack it, and some people had other thoughts, but hoped that Zhu Lun would be defeated.

After a long time, after everyone saw that the man in black had fallen a son, Zhu Lun had not fallen for a long time, and some people thought that things might not be good, and suddenly saw Zhu Lun throw the white characters in his hand into the chess box, arched his hand to the man in black, and without saying much, he shook his head, turned around and went back to his place.

"Xifeng Academy Zhu Lun failed to break the game!" The man in black said loudly.
