Chapter 164: Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting 2
It didn't take long for Poplar to come alive with two games of chess, making the people in the stands stare as if they had seen a strange story of the Arabian Nights. The red sign held up by the old invigilator dazzled their eyes. No one doubts the impartiality of the proctoring. Even the old man who invigilated, after a few years or even longer, has only survived a game of chess. In the land of the Great Yan Kingdom, it is already prestigious. And. The list of invigilators was only finalized last night. The envoys sent by various countries and the important courtiers of the Great Yan Kingdom sat down together yesterday afternoon to agree on the list of invigilators. Among them, there are two invigilator elders on the Nanling Continent, and there is also one on the Xiling and Beiling Continents who came to the Great Yan Kingdom with the mission, and they are both the old men with the highest attainments in black and white chess. Coupled with the black and white chess masters of Dayan Kingdom, there are a total of 15 invigilators.
This is already the strongest lineup in the past five years of general election chess competition invigilation. Just last night, the 15 invigilators studied together in the middle of the night before they revitalized a game of chess, which was the first game of chess just now. The layout of the black and white sides is strange and difficult to fathom, and in the end, it is an old man who is blind. The black and white two-color chess in the front has been in a stalemate, whoever moves a move will lose the whole game, and in the end everyone has no choice, the old man thought about it and said, is it the wrong layout at the beginning, so he took a few steps in the rear, and the result was that everyone saw the dawn of victory. Unexpectedly, it only took a stick of incense for Poplar to come up and revitalize this game of chess. And she didn't waste time in the middle of the black and white chess game. Instead, it is re-walked in the initial layout stage, and the game is alive after a few moves. Follow this line of thought, and the outcome is clear at a glance.
As for the second game. Poplar walked more simply, she just took out a few pieces that had been captured at the time, and as a result, the game was alive. This result made the old man who was invigilated tremble. The chessboard is like a battlefield where two armies clash, and which general would want his minions to die halfway. The two red signs have already laid the end of Topol's victory. Because all those young ladies were still meditating on a chessboard, no one had ever moved half a step at all.
Today is a little colder than yesterday, and I don't know when fine snowflakes are falling in the sky. Originally, it was a grand scene in the Great Yan Kingdom, but no one appreciated the fluttering snowflakes but noticed the battlefield that was revitalizing the chessboard in the middle of the competition. Gradually, the old invigilators slowly gathered around Bai Yang, watching how she revitalized a game of dead chess. It is also poplar here and there is a sudden opening. In this way, by the time the gong sounded again, Poplar had already made 10 games of chess. The people on the trapezoidal platform also stood up and looked at the chessboard battlefield below. There were already 10 red cards in the hands of the Poplar Maiden, and no one dared to question the fairness of this competition, because the process of Poplar chess was seen by their own eyes.
The sound of the gong also woke up the young ladies who were still meditating in front of a dead game of chess, and the sound of the gong woke them up, but they were all stiff and numb in their hands and feet. The maids who came with them supported their masters and left the chessboard table.
There is no doubt about the results of the chess competition, there is no first, second, third, only an absolute first, that is, the rest of the ladies of Poplar are all one point.
Looking at the red sign in her hand, the old lady in charge of the endorsement was shocked. According to the process of the competition, the next step is to call the lady who plays chess to talk about the ideas and methods. I discussed it with the judging team just now, and I felt that it was necessary to ask more questions about the poplars.
"Bai, Miss Bai, when did you learn chess? Who is the master? You have revitalized 10 dead chess endgames at once, please tell us your ideas and methods. The old lady looked at the eldest lady of the White Palace, who was standing in front of her with a face like spring and a beautiful flower, and she couldn't even speak.
"What do you mean, old mamma? Could it be that the chess competition is not only about our young lady herself, but also about her master? Miss Ben did not study under any of the chess masters. After begging for food for more than ten years, it is already God's favor to survive. As for the ten games of chess that were revitalized just now, Miss Ben can say it.
The chessboard is like a battlefield, and the two sides of the game are the generals who sit in the town. There is only a thoughtful and ingenious layout here, and there is no real hand-to-hand combat with real knives and guns. This is a battlefield where there is no bitter wailing and blood flowing everywhere. But it is a full opening of the brainpower of both sides of each game, and the full play of wisdom. Every move is well thought out, and if you make a mistake all the time, you lose the game. Bai Yanglian questioned and explained that he looked at the concubines and ladies of the judging group, as well as the envoys of the small vassal country, and said lightly.
"Miss Bai, the old man wants to hear your opinion on the first game of chess." The old man who was invigilating the exam just now asked for advice.
"Old man, Miss Ben was particularly impressed with the first game of chess. The two sides of the game are evenly matched, and the layout is close to similar from the beginning. Every cloth is also perfectly walked, so in the end the black and white sides are in a stalemate, and both sides of the game are exhausted. The process of besieging the city has left them with a near-exhaustion of ideas. In the end, whoever moves first loses. Miss Ben thinks it's better to start from the initial layout, change the way of thinking, and the game will come alive. Black wins if it changes its thinking, and white wins when it changes its thinking. Miss Ben only made some changes to the thinking of both sides of the game when she was finally laid out. Old man, do you think Miss Ben's idea is the right way? ”
"Clever, clever. Miss Bai is not very old, her chess skills are superb, and her psychological analysis of chess players is also in place. The old man is convinced, plus convinced. ”
"Miss Bai, what about the second game of chess, you solved it more simply, but the battle situation became clear all of a sudden." The old invigilator who bowed to Poplar just now. I listened like an elementary school student.
"Old man, Miss Ben remembers the game just now, I just removed the two chess pieces that should have died. This is called losing the pawn and protecting the commander in the confrontation between the two armies. But the opposing side refused to throw away the pawn, thinking that it would be able to stop the army behind it. This little pawn did it, don't you know that there is a blind eye. It blocked the great general who was also called the commander in that place, and lost the opportunity to observe the overall situation. Miss Ben took him where there was a gap. It's too late for the opposing general to turn back and remedy, and the other party will use this opening to tear apart the battle situation that has been arranged, and victory is a normal thing. ”
"Miss Bai, what you explained clearly is also correct. But on the battlefield, which general is willing to give up his minions. ”
"Old man, how can Miss Ben not understand this truth, but the battlefield is the battlefield, and the necessary sacrifice is inevitable. How can a small sacrifice be exchanged for a global victory? It is the embodiment of the wisdom of the general. After all, it's just a game of chess. Losing a piece doesn't have much effect on the whole game. The key lies in the side of the layout, which has put that chess piece in a very important position. When it is time to give up, but refuse to give up, the result affects the victory or defeat of the whole game. ”
"Miss Bai, you have analyzed too thoroughly. The red card given by the old man was also willing. ”
Next, the old invigilators all asked Poplar for advice. Poplar also did not hesitate to answer them one by one, and some of these came from the heavenly book of chess art in the space. Part of it comes from my own understanding and analysis of the war situation after a thousand years. These are all textbook theories in modern times, but these ancients who are bluffed here worship the five bodies to the extreme.
Finally, the old lady announced. This chess competition is the eldest lady of Baiwangfu, and she deserves to be the first to accumulate 10 points. The rest of the ladies are one point. The gap in scores has opened up obviously, and there is not much suspense for Poplar to win the top three.
This panicked those who calculated the aspen. I didn't think of this begging girl. So smart. said that she didn't know chess, but she could analyze both sides of the chessboard so thoroughly, saying that she knew chess, no one believed that she could play chess. However, the consideration of chess art is not to sit there and play a dull game, but to understand the whole chess game. Although these people are not dead set on calculating Aspen, they still have to admire the wisdom of Aspen.
In the afternoon, it was a calligraphy and painting competition, and now all the young ladies are hairy, and they have no confidence at all, and they don't know what kind of bizarre questions will come out of this calligraphy and painting competition. I'm afraid that I won't be able to use the scene I prepared before. After lunch, when they gathered again, many young ladies did not have the same self-satisfied appearance as before.
"Ladies don't guess anymore, the afternoon calligraphy and painting competition. It's easier than the morning chess competition. Wait a minute, you have to choose a painting that has been made by the master on the previous bookcase, and you will also choose a poem that has been written by the master. Of course, these paintings are flawed. Your exam questions are all about perfecting, revising, copying. "The old lady didn't talk nonsense this time, and said the content of the exam very concisely and clearly.
"What? This is the competition of calligraphy and painting?
