Chapter 68 Strategic Assessment
An Jie brought the stool back. The two stools were held in the air by An Jie's steel billet, and they floated into Captain Simon's office with An Jie.
It was the first time Charles had seen such a magic application as An Jie, and his eyes couldn't help but widen for a while.
"I've brought the stool back, Captain."
"Well, that's good."
Simon gestured across his desk.
"Put it there, and sit down."
"Yes."
Angel sat down in front of Captain Simon.
Major Charles tugged at the leg of the stool floating in the air with a curious expression.
"Ahem!"
Charles's performance was a bit embarrassing, and Simon couldn't help but cough twice to remind his former comrade.
"Huh? Ahaha, you go on. β
Fortunately, Major Charles's emotional intelligence is not low, and he quickly reacted, and sat down to watch the battle with a calm face.
Simon looked at Anjie, who looked at the chess on the desk.
"The third round of assessment, the strategic assessment, starts now."
He poured himself a glass of wine.
"I play black, you play white."
Simon drank the wine in his hand.
An Jie frowned and looked at the chess in front of her, her understanding of chess basically stayed at the handsome way of moving the king rook castling, and she didn't know anything else.
"Why Chess? Isn't there a lot of other options when it comes to strategy? β
"Because I'm the examiner."
Anjie: ".................."
Captain Simon made a gesture of please.
"White moves first."
An Jie was helpless, and took the white chess to "fight" with Simon.
Ten seconds later............
"Simon wins."
Major Charles automatically assumed the role of reporting results.
Ten seconds later......
"Simon wins."
Thirty seconds later............
"Simon wins."
A minute later............
"Simon wins."
Five minutes later............
"Simon wins."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
An hour later..................
Simon ......... Seventy-sixth winning streak. β
Anjie lifts the table!
"What is this broken game !!"
The captain quickly put away the pieces one by one, and did not let them fall to the ground.
"What? Can't afford to lose? β
An Jie didn't speak, just stared at him with red eyes.
"Do you know where you lost?"
"Hoo ............"
An Jie took a deep breath and sat down again, waiting coldly for the captain's next words.
Simon, on the other hand, shook his finger at her.
"It's the big picture, if you lose, you lose in the big picture!"

"Your tactics are indeed very good, and you can be equal to me in local battles, but your overall view is a mess!"
Major Charles also nodded: "Guarding the pieces that must be given up in many key places, and losing the whole game. At least fifty out of seventy-six sets were lost like this. β
"It's the same in reality."
Simon looked at An Jie with a calm expression.
"I ask you, on the eve of the upcoming attack, our troops suddenly said from above that they were going to retreat...... What would you think? β
Anjie: Vertical middle finger .jpg
"yes, that's what I thought."
Captain Simon actually approved, but he said instead: "But is the order from above necessarily wrong?" Have you thought about it. β
Anjie: Thoughtful.jpg
"On a battlefield where the situation is complex, it is difficult for anyone to see the overall situation clearly, and for those who formulate strategies, the first thing to consider when the form is unfavorable...... It's what can be discarded. β
ββ¦β¦ Something like a multiple-choice question? β
"That's right."
Simon Shogi is back in place.
"You're far from the level of strategy, and it's important for you to interpret the orders from above as a commander. That's what I'm going to test you for. The reason why chess is used is because when a person plays chess, his personal style is reflected in the game...... Or you go first. β
An Jie raised her eyebrows, and the soldiers went first, two squares.
Simon also dispatched soldiers, two squares.
ββ¦β¦ It's like when you're playing chess, you always prefer to start with soldiers, and you advance two squares at a time, which shows your recklessness. β
"Hmph, aren't you the same?"
Another soldier was dispatched, one position behind his comrades.
Simon's sent his knights.
"Two soldiers are watching each other and don't want to give up either one, it's your naivety."
"You can talk big and that's the only time for now!"
An Jie was unconvinced and dispatched the knights!
Captain Simon's bishop crossed four squares and ate Anjie's knight to death.
Anjie: "............"
"Looks like I'll be able to talk about it for a while."

The white chess soldier who stopped at the door of the house killed the black chess bishop, and An Jie gave Simon a smug look.
Simon scrambled his shoulders, and the soldier advanced, one square.
Anjie is the same, and the white chess soldier advances, two squares.
The black knight advanced, just in the middle of the three soldiers in a concave shape.
An Jie frowned, and the queen dispatched.
The black soldiers advanced, and the two soldiers in a diagonal line blocked Anjie's queen in the corner.
"Tsk!"
An Jie was unhappy and withdrew the queen.
"What? Can't bear to have a powerful chess piece in your hand? β
Simon also dispatched the queen, and, in the direction of the black queen, there was exactly a white king.
"General."
The girl's face was ugly.
"As a commander, prepare for the worst at any time, give up naΓ―ve thoughts, calmly put sacrifice and abandonment on the scale, and keep the weight of life firmly in mind."
Captain Simon looked at An Jie, his eyes were extremely cold at this time.
"It's a must-have quality for a full-fledged commander, and now it seems like you're not good enough...... Do you regret being a soldier? β
Anjie was silent for a moment, and then the king advanced.
"Regrets? I'm not old enough to spend the rest of my life with regret! You have to see everything to know the answer! Put away your frivolous sacrificial arguments for me until then! β
"This is the experience of the predecessors...... Even if you say that, you won't listen. β
Simon dispatched the knights.
"No matter how many times you come, you can't win against me, tactics can't beat strategy, and sticking to the pieces that don't work will only accelerate your defeat."
"Shut up! I'll win! β
Major Charles had been silently watching the two of them go back and forth on the small chessboard, and he could see that Anjie was now at an absolute disadvantage, while Simon had the advantage.
But he can also see how much progress An Jie has made in this hour!
From the first ten seconds of defeat, to the current fight with Simon.
She's always learning. Imitate Simon's movements and analyze his strategy.
You could tell from the captain's face that he wasn't as relaxed as he had been.
"But the victory is mine in the end."
The castle moved sideways, blocking the king's retreat.
One more step, and he will be able to put An Jie to death completely.
Simon looked relaxed.
"I said that, right? Defend useless chess pieces ......"
"There are no useless pawns!"
An Jie categorically interrupted Captain Simon's words.
"There are no useless pawns, only useless commanders! I don't recognize your sacrificialism! The basic quality that a qualified commander should have should not be to think about who to sacrifice all the time, but to think about how to give full play to the value of the soldiers! You use strategy to scorn me, thinking that I will lose, but I will value you with my tactics! It's me who wins! β
"What else can you do to turn the tables now?"
An Jie smiled.
"Who said there wasn't."
She picks up the white soldier and pushes him to the bottom of the board.
"Travel through the battlefield and get merit. An ordinary soldier who doesn't play much role can be 'promoted' because of this."
She took the white soldier and replaced it with the white queen.
"There are no worthless soldiers, in the eyes of a wise commander, the strategy of bringing everyone's talents to the fullest is an excellent strategy!"
An Jie put the queen heavily in front of the king.
"General!"
Simon and Charles looked at the situation in front of them dumbfounded.
The queen, who had been promoted from soldier, stared at the king with fierce eyes, and there was a white soldier in front of him. Behind the soldier lay an ambush of a knight.
Go to the left and be killed by the Queen. If you go forward, you will be killed by the soldiers, and if you go diagonally, you will be killed by the knights. Go right...... The Queen's movement ignores the number of tiles.
Lost, lost at the last minute.
"You get the idea! I don't interpret the command from above with a negative mindset, no matter how unreasonable the order is, I will do it in my own way! Not by sacrificing someone, but by squeezing everyone's full potential! That's my strategy! β
An Jie threw the chess pieces in her hand onto the chessboard with a proud face.
"This is a veritable 'general'!"
