"Ahhh I'm not playing anymore!" Elena leaned on the back of the sofa behind her angrily, "I've lost six games in a row, Bella, can't you let me go?"

On the chessboard in front of the table, Elena's black king has been cornered by white.

In other words, they are about to be "checkmated."

And Elena still has several pieces to move, so it's unlikely that she wants to "draw".

A turnaround is even more hopeless.

(Author's note: In the rules of chess, when one side's "king" is cornered, within the walkable range, no matter which move is chosen, the opponent will be captured in the next turn, but it is safe to stay still, and at this time there are no other moving pieces on this side - because the "king" cannot be faught, so in this case, the round will be considered impossible - the game will eventually end in a draw.) This is different from Chinese chess. Therefore, in many wonderful games, the disadvantaged side, even if it is not easy to fight back, may rely on clever tactics to pull the result into a draw. ）

"Actually, if you had just lost the king's car, you might have been able to get better." "At least the defenses on the sidelines won't be so easy to break."

("King rook castling" is a special method of chess moves.) If the "king" of one side and the "rook" on one side have not moved since the beginning of the game, and all the squares between the "king" and the "rook" are empty, and there are no other pieces blocking it, then the "king's rook" can be castled, so that the "king" can hide in the "castle" (i.e. the "rook") and block the "rook" outside. This step is again called "entering the fort". It is a common method in the game, and "castling of the king rook" is divided into "long castling" and "short castling", depending on which side of the "rook" is used. However, no matter which one is used, there is a prerequisite that the "king" must be in a safe state before and after the casting. In layman's terms, when the opponent is a "general", one's own "king" cannot be "casted", and conversely, the "king" cannot be in the state of being "generalized" after the castling, in other words, the "king's chariot casting" cannot be used as a means of "should", nor can the "king" be allowed to "send food" because of the transposition. Elena just thought that the "king" might be threatened, so she made it transpose with the "rook", which instead caused the "pawn" on the sideline to be eaten. ）

"Even if you don't, your soldiers are already close to the bottom line, and once I am promoted, I will be dead."

(When one player's pawn moves to the other side's bottom line, it can be promoted to any kind of chess piece except for "king" and "pawn", and then the new piece is played according to the rules of the new piece.) ）

"Then at least I can have a chance to draw."

"Hey, I don't want to be so aggrieved." Elena pursed her lips, "I don't believe it, every time you can see through my tactics."

"That's because Elena's intentions are too obvious."

There are no tactics to speak of.

Bella really didn't want to break it, Elena's two tricks were really a little too naïve. You can see through it at a glance.

"I think I'm hiding it well."

"But it's all written on my face!"

"Too ......much," Elena muttered, "Bella, you're too much."

"I...... Isn't that good?" Bella felt wronged.

"In short, you are relying on your chess skills to bully me!"

Elena is really starting to get into trouble.

Every time I have to play against Bella, I am not convinced when I lose.

"I didn't......" Bella felt aggrieved.

"But you seem to have a chance to win every time." Elena said.

"Huh? Is there one?" Bella doesn't think so, "You're too sensitive."

Maybe Elena has lost so many games in a row and felt a little devastated in her heart, which Bella can understand.

"In that case, let's make a game, shall we?" Elena said, "Let's see if you can guess that accurately every time."

"Huh?" Bella is so good at guessing things, "What game?"

"It's called 'Twenty Questions.'" "Simply put, it's when one person writes a word on a piece of paper, and the other person asks questions to deduce what the other person has written. The questions asked can only be in the form of general questions, that is, through affirmative or negative answers, to constantly narrow the scope. If, within twenty questions, the questioner guesses the word, it is a victory; Otherwise, the other side wins."

"This ...... Sounds so complicated."

And it's a hassle.

"Anyway, just ask questions." Elena said.

"Huh? Let me guess?"

Bella vaguely felt as if she had been trapped,

"Of course." Elena said, taking a pen and a piece of paper from the side. "Let me think about it......"

"Well, Elena, I don't think I'm very good at guessing." Bella wanted to excuse herself.

This kind of thing, if you can hide it, otherwise Elena will definitely make some kind of moth.

"Ah, there it is!" Elena smiled wickedly, then picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote a word on the paper.

That kind of momentum, as always, is not negotiable at all.

"Alright." Elena said, slamming the note with the words on it back on the board, "Let's get started."

"That...... I didn't say I wanted to play." Bella also wanted to take advantage of the last possible opportunity to shirk.

"Huh? How so? I've written it all."

Elena suddenly looked betrayed.

This made Bella a little embarrassed.

"Uh...... Oh well." Bella said helplessly, "I can't guess."

Truth be told, it was her first time playing this kind of game.

Different from the usual problems, you can follow the clues to find the answer, now you have to ask your own questions to determine the answer.

That is, what question to ask is a question in itself.

Lock in an already determined answer by asking uncertain questions. It's not like a crossword puzzle or a quiz, it all depends on how the question is organized and whether the answer is easy to think of.

Moreover, if it is Elena, after such a long time together, Bella can be sure that she is a black-bellied person, then it is likely to set some traps to mislead.

What a troublesome guy.

At this time, seeing Elena's evil smile, Bella felt as if she had fallen into a trap.

This feeling was fulfilled before the game even began.

"Wait, it's a bit boring just to play this," Elena interrupted suddenly, "Let's raise the ante, shall we?"

Really!
