A month passed quickly, in this month, Tan Xiaotian's chess level has improved by leaps and bounds, and the strength has improved so fast that even Zhao Mengtu can't believe it, at the beginning of the game between the two, Zhao Mengtu can make Tan Xiaotian half of the country (referring to taking out the square rook, horse, cannon each), but only two days, let a rook can no longer win, three days later, let a cannon or a horse is already equal, there are mutual victories and defeats, ten days later, even if it is very difficult to let the first win, which makes Zhao Mengtu shocked and even a little doubtful about life- I think I have been eleven or twelve years since I learned to play chess, and I can barely be regarded as a master among the generals in the army, but it only took a child ten days to catch up with myself, although playing chess is more difficult the more you learn, and the more difficult it is to improve the level later, but according to Tan Xiaotian's improvement speed during this time, it is a sure fact that he will surpass himself in less than a month, whether this is his own chess level is not as strong as he originally imagined, or this child's talent is too high, Completely incomprehensible to common sense?

In fact, although this situation is surprising, it is not beyond common sense, but Zhao Mengtu has never taught others to play chess before, so he feels particularly strongly (referring to teaching seriously and doing his best to improve the students' chess skills, rather than the situation where teaching the rules of chess can play two games with him). Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Reason one, Tan Xiaotian's talent in chess is indeed very high, although chess and Go are very different in terms of rules and tactics, but their most important essence is the same - calculation, whose calculation is accurate, whose calculation is deep, who is easy to grasp the initiative in the game, and have the upper hand, so now Tan Xiaotian learning to play chess can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, because the most difficult and basic problem for beginners is not a problem for him at all, in fact, On the fifth day after learning to play chess with Zhao Mengtu, his calculation depth was no shallower than Zhao Mengtu's, and what he lacked was mainly those routines and a grasp of the overall situation.

Reason two, although Zhao Mengtu's chess level is not bad, but he is not a professional chess player after all, but a military general, a large part of the energy is spent on how to lead the troops, how to improve their own strength, although there are occasional chess games, the level of his opponent and the frequency of chess are far less than the time to learn to play chess, the so-called sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, Zhao Mengtu's current chess level is actually worse than back then, so although at the beginning, he was able to crush Tan Xiaotian with half of the advantage, But with Tan Xiaotian's familiarity with chess and his understanding of the routines and methods used by Zhao Mengxue, it is normal for the gap in strength between the two sides to quickly advance - routines can occasionally play the role of a surprise soldier, and if they are used more, they will lose their meaning, but they may be used by the opponent to set a trap for the plan, so no real master in the past and present has relied on the routines studied in advance to dominate the world, and the battle against the enemy and improvisation is the fundamental way to defeat a strong enemy.

Reason three, in addition to learning chess from Zhao Mengtu, Tan Xiaotian also has a strong self-learning ability, Zhao Mengtu prepared a lot of chess games for him, and the Zheng family also invested in him, through the Zheng family's channels to find a lot of chess games that are difficult to see on the market, through the study of these chess games, Tan Xiaotian got even more benefits than from Zhao Mengtu, with an unforgettable terrifying memory, it can be said that after half a month, Tan Xiaotian knows even more routines than Zhao Mengtu.

In short, although Zhao Mengtu is still Tan Xiaotian's teacher, the role he can play is actually similar to that of a sparring partner, he is stronger than Tan Xiaotian and has more than ten years of chess experience, but with Tan Xiaotian's rapid improvement, the advantage of this experience is also weakening day by day.

Zhao Hongtu, the old general of Zhao Hongtu, who taught Tan Xiaotian chess to his grandson, naturally knew that as early as the day when Zheng Jili took Tan Xiaotian to apprentice, Zhao Mengtu reported the situation to his grandfather -- don't doubt the efficiency of the military system in transmitting news, the distance between the military camp and the capital is only a few dozen miles, and the herald is sent quickly, and one hour is enough.

For the Zheng family's temporary cramming, General Zhao was very generous, and ordered his grandson to do his best to help Tan Xiaotian improve his chess skills, on the one hand, he was confident in his decades of chess skills, and on the other hand, it was also due to the arrogance of the old man - if you win, you will win beautifully, and if you win the opponent, you have nothing to say, the opponent is too weak, and you won't feel cool if you win.

In addition, General Zhao also specially instructed Zhao Mengtu not to tell himself what he had taught Tan Xiaotian and how Tan Xiaotian's chess strength had improved, because he didn't want to take advantage of this. Of course, as for whether Zhao Mengtu has his own chess style preference, strength or weakness, and whether he has used to talk about his moves to Tan Xiaotian, he doesn't care, anyway, his chess is a wild way to figure out by himself, there is no system, it all depends on the battle strain, and even Zhao Mengtu himself and himself have no particularly effective methods, the students he taught, and it was only a month, he didn't believe that Tan Xiaotian could do it - if Tan Xiaotian really did it, he would admit it, the world of genius is not understandable to ordinary people, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

In this way, the days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the appointed battle day.

Because this chess battle is set by the emperor, so the place of the battle is set in the Forbidden City, because it is not a formal chess battle, in the eyes of most people, it is more of a general Zhao Lao who is interested in playing with children, so the scale is not very large, except for the two sides of the game There are only a few officials and chess people who are close to the game to watch the game, although so, the level of this game of chess is quite high, because Emperor Xuande is also a whim, to personally serve as the notary of this battle. What the emperor has to do, others only have the obligation to cooperate.

The emperor attended the game, this is another form of the imperial chess battle, although the imperial chess battle is not uncommon, every five years there is a national imperial chess battle, Emperor Xuande often finds someone to enjoy the game in his spare time, but whether it is the imperial city chess battle or find the people who come to the game to perform are all Yi Lin masters, chess masters, the minimum must also have more than five grades, like Tan Xiaotian's age and has not yet set the grade of the child is the first time, so, the win or loss of this game of chess is no longer important, The important thing is that Tan Xiaotian, the child, has received the emperor's attention.
