If Jiang Chaofan, the endgame king of that session, if he remembers correctly, should be called Liu Xin, an old man who has already passed half a hundred years old. It's just that Jiang Chaofan didn't go to Liu Xin, but to the prize money of the Endgame King Competition. At that time, he and Li Xuerou were already cornered, so he thought about making something else to make money!

A contest like Endgame King is quite suitable, as long as you enter the top 10, you can get a minimum prize of 2,000 yuan! At that time, there were not many participants, after all, it was the first Endgame King Competition, and its fame was limited.

But there were more than 300 participants!

In order to win, Jiang Chaofan went to the Licheng Library to rub the professional books of the chess endgame, and he forced himself to write down those endgame routines, and finally won the eighth place with a prize of 6,000 yuan.

It was with this money that Jiang Chaofan and Li Xuerou temporarily got out of the predicament and still survived strongly! It's just that in the following year, because of the rise in the reputation of the endgame king, and because Jiang Chaofan had no more time to play chess, Jiang Chaofan slipped from eighth to twelfth place, and missed the prize money. But he won a consolation prize, that is, a copy of "Endgame King Chess Book".

The Sanshui Dragon Gate Array is an endgame in a book of "Endgame King Chess Book" given to the winners after the first Endgame King Contest was held, and the creator is Liu Xin, the champion of the first Endgame King!

When Jiang Chaofan heard Chen Xingwang talk about the Sanshui Dragon Gate Array before, he was actually not very convinced, only after he connected the old man Liu of Meteor Street with this endgame, he was sure that the endgame of the Sanshui Dragon Gate Array that Chen Xingwang said was actually the endgame created by Liu Xin, the first endgame king champion that year!

In fact, what attracts those masters in the Endgame King Contest is not to a large extent the prize money that is capped at 30,000 yuan, but that when the "Endgame King Chess Book" is published every time, the top three can leave their own endgame and leave their names forever in future generations.

If you want to talk about prize money, where is the 200,000 championship prize money of the Chess King Competition!

Seeing that Jiang Chaofan seemed to be in deep thought, Chen Xingwang spoke again: "Mr. Jiang, will you accept me as an apprentice?" ”

Jiang Chaofan sighed and said: "Actually, my strength is not strong, I just have a little ability in the endgame!" If you want to worship me as a teacher, then you can be half a teacher! Because I can only explain some of the endgames to you! ”

"That's enough!" Chen Xingwang immediately said happily. He is the king of chess, and he is already quite a powerful character in Licheng when it comes to playing chess! Even if it is placed in the whole hot summer, it is a first-class chess player. But this endgame is the only one, he can only be regarded as second-rate!

If Jiang Chaofan is willing to teach him the endgame, it will be making up for his own shortcomings! Once he succeeds in his studies, he will have no shortcomings, and at that time, he will call himself the chess king, and he will be completely confident, so that he will not be shorter than the old man Liu when he arrives at Meteor Street!

After Chen Xingwang got Jiang Chaofan's accurate reply, he immediately went to serve tea to apprentice!

Jiang Chaofan was a little unaccustomed to such a traditional apprenticeship, but he still respected Chen Xingwang's behavior, took the tea in his hand and drank it all.

Jiang Chaofan opened his mouth and said: "Since I drank your bowl of tea, then I will explain to you the twelve ways to solve the endgame just now!" ”

"Yes, Master Jiang, I'm ...... Twelve ways to crack it?! Chen Xingwang hurriedly nodded yes, but when he reacted, he couldn't help but suddenly raise his head to look at Jiang Chaofan, he was stunned, Sun Tianzheng was also stunned, and Li Li was even more confused.

There are actually twelve ways to solve such a powerful endgame? Really?

Jiang Chaofan couldn't help but smile when he saw their surprised appearance and said: "The more powerful the endgame, the more changeable, and the more changes there are, the more ways to solve it." This Sanshui Dragon Gate Array is indeed a very powerful original endgame, but because there are many changes, there are twelve ways to crack it! ”

A year and a half later, when the first endgame king contest ended, it was the Sanshui Longmen Array that became famous in the entire Yanxia chess world along with the chess score, and chess lovers all over the country and even the world left the endgame on the chess game in the top three of the professional endgame king, and after half a year, it was finally cracked.

The twelve methods of cracking the Sanshui Dragon Gate Array were summed up by Jiang Chaofan one after another before his death in the previous life, and one of the methods was one of the methods that he came up with by himself.

No matter how surprised Chen Xingwang was, he began to explain the method of cracking to Chen Xingwang.

Chen Xingwang listened attentively, it was really like Jiang Chaofan said, there were really twelve completely different ways to crack it!

Chen Xingwang closed his eyes and digested it for two minutes, and then couldn't help but admire Jiang Chaofan and said, "Master Jiang, I'm afraid you are the first person in the chess world today!" ”

Jiang Chaofan shook his head with a smile and said no.

But at this time, no matter what Jiang Chaofan said, Chen Xingwang felt that Jiang Chaofan was the kind of peerless master. The reason why he is not famous at such a young age and is not famous must be because Master Jiang feels that there is no opponent worthy of his shot in the chess world today, so he has never appeared in the sight of chess masters!

Sun Tianzheng and Li Li also had the same idea. Because they know very well what kind of master Chen Xingwang is, and they know even more about how strong the layout ability of the old man Liu of Meteor Street is, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a first-class chess endgame master in the world!

In order to solve Old Man Liu's Tiger Prison endgame, Sun Tianzheng and Chen Xingwang couldn't sleep or sleep, and they thought hard for half a month before they came up with a way to crack it, but soon Old Man Liu's change was defeated, so they could only continue to meditate and think hard. But fortunately, they had already found the way, and the next half a month finally made Old Man Liu completely defeated.

In other words, to solve Old Man Liu's endgame, the two of them had a full month, and they still didn't eat, drink or sleep for a lot of time. During that time, both of them lost weight.

Since then, Sun Tianzheng no longer wants to take over Old Man Liu's endgame, and he only occasionally helps Chen Xingwang for reference, his body really can't afford to toss!

It is conceivable that Jiang Chaofan, who could instantly come up with twelve ways to crack the Sanshui Dragon Gate Formation after just seeing it, had an impact on them that was shocking!

Sun Tianzheng smiled bitterly and looked at the Go chessboard in front of him, thinking that with Jiang Chaofan's level of agility, if he learned the basic teaching of Go and practiced more, he was afraid that he would be defeated in a few days, right?

Although the depth of Go is broader than that of Xiangqi, the shallowness of Xiangqi also causes great difficulties to chess players to some extent! Especially when faced with those ever-changing endgames, the level of difficulty is even greater.

The whimsical nature of Go allows anyone to land on the board, and the decisiveness of chess can make it impossible to move any chess piece after reaching a certain level!

Chen Xingwang took the twelve methods of cracking taught by Jiang Chaofan in mind and said, "Thank you Master Jiang, I'm going to find that guy from Old Man Liu!" Kill him personally on his back! Hahaha! ”

Jiang Chaofan nodded and said go!

Chen Xingwang immediately ran towards Meteor Street with excitement! It's really a shame that he was still able to run so fast when he was more than sixty years old, and he almost knocked Director Xu Hongliang, who had just hurried back by car, to the ground.

Xu Hongliang sighed and saw that the person who almost knocked himself down was Chen Xingwang, and couldn't help but quip: "Old Chen, what are you doing here?" In a hurry to be reincarnated? Even if you used to be an athlete, you wouldn't be reincarnated first, right? There is an order in the underworld! ”

Chen Xingwang laughed and said, "Director Xu, hurry up and go in, my master Jiang has been waiting for you for a long time!" Even if you have a malignant tumor in your body, you should walk quickly, right? Can't let my Master Jiang keep waiting, right? ”

Xu Hongliang was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Jiang? Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, Boss? ”

Chen Xingwang laughed and said, "Who else is qualified to be my master?" ”

Xu Hongliang couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that Chen Xingwang was confirmed! What kind of personality is Chen Xingwang, can he Xu Hongliang know? Chen Xingwang has never been serious, he is very irritable and angry, and he will worship a young man as a master? Really fake!

It's just that when Xu Hongliang wanted to ask, Chen Xingwang had already run out for several meters.

Xu Hongliang couldn't help but sigh and said: "The Asian Games track and field champion is different, after so many years, the physical fitness is still so strong!" Looks like I'm getting more athletic. ”

Xu Hongliang touched his belly and couldn't help but walk towards the museum with some sadness!

He soon met Jiang Chaofan!

Xu Hongliang immediately stepped forward to say hello: "Oh, hey, Mr. Jiang, you have been waiting for a long time, the traffic jam on the road has made me miserable, please bear with me!" ”

Jiang Chaofan smiled and said kind words. "Where is Director Xu, speaking of which, I actually came here to find Director Xu. But Director Xu took the initiative to find me, so please tell Director Xu first. ”

Xu Hongliang didn't have too many kind words when he saw Jiang Chaofan, just said it casually and got straight to the point. He smiled and said: "That's Mr. Jiang, I know that you are a master of oil painting, and your painting style is the same type as Tchaivsky, I hope your works can be hung in our painting and calligraphy museum!" You can't let Westerners dominate, can you? ”

"We Yanxia people also need to give ourselves Yanxia people a boost of face, what do you think?"

"I still need to think about this for the time being, because I have no intention of spreading the paintings." Jiang Chaofan said.

Don't spread out?

Xu Hongliang couldn't help but look at Sun Tianzheng on the side suspiciously, Sun Tianzheng nodded, Jiang Chaofan had said such things in Jinyufang before!

Xu Hongliang said with a wry smile: "Such words really bother you, Mr. Jiang!" But why is Mr. Jiang reluctant to spread his paintings? ”

Jiang Chaofan said with a smile: "I can't say this for the time being!" He just felt that these things were not his own, especially that "First Birth" was Tchaivsky's masterpiece two years later, and it would be despicable to use other people's future works to achieve himself!

It's just that a very bad thing happened two days later, which made Jiang Chaofan completely change his mind! At least in the idea of an exhibition of this future work of Tchaivsky has changed dramatically!
