Chapter 19: Blind Chess

On the coffee table, a pot of tea, a game of chess, the fragrance of tea is curling, the heat is steaming, the old and the young sit opposite each other, if it is not for the half bottle of Coke a little ruins the style of painting, this atmosphere is really a bit of leisure and elegance.

In a big expedition to the west, Xiaocheng restored the original original, in which all kinds of traps and traps, all kinds of clever tricks to deal with, are clearly explained. After all, it is known as the classic battle of the king of chess endgames, and the mystery is endless. The changes in the art of war and deceit are vividly reflected in a game of chess, and the old man pondered for a long time after listening to it, and he admired Wen Xiaocheng and praised him.

"Who did you learn this from?" asked Professor Dai.

This kind of chess skill is bound to be a famous teacher, with a rich heritage, a teenager is so powerful, not to mention that the family is a chess family, and it will definitely not be an unknown person in the chess world. The old man asked who meant the chess game, but Wen Xiaocheng should have thought that who taught him to play chessβ€”that is, the basic rules of the horse walking the sun and flying the field. So he replied, "My dad." ”

This stubble stopped here, Professor Dai thought that this child's chess skills were really a family heirloom, and Wen Xiaocheng didn't think so much at all, after explaining this game of expedition to the west, the old man still had some unfinished feelings, he deduced on the chessboard, a person indulged in square inches, happy in it, he stayed here and had nothing to do, simply stood up and walked around the house to visit.

The whole house is a three-bedroom apartment, and there is a floor-to-ceiling balcony outside, Wen Xiaocheng has been living in a bungalow since he was a child, and such beautiful decoration and furnishings have only been seen on TV. The antique living room and kitchen have an antique style, but they are all modern design. The door of the other room was hidden, and seeing that it should be a study, Wen Xiaocheng turned around and asked, "Old man Dai, can I go in and have a look?"

The old man didn't bother to pay attention to Xiaocheng at all, and waved at him, meaning to look at it casually.

As soon as he opened the door, he was jumped, the area of this study was almost as large as the living room, the four walls, the bookcases to the top, all were books! The room was covered with a thick carpet, and he would not make any sound when he walked, and a desk was placed in the middle of the room, and the table was in a mess, with all kinds of books, documents, materials, and notes, and a brand-new computer, connected to the printer, and there were printed materials under the table. The messy place is limited to the desk, the other places are very tidy, the whole room is arranged simple and elegant, dignified atmosphere, to create a particularly suitable atmosphere environment for reading from the perspective of decoration, the neatness of the bookcase and the clutter of the desk complement each other, in it, as if people are also soaked in a trace of the book.

Looking at the bookshelves on all sides, except for a set of hardcover editions of Jin Yong's complete works, there are almost no literary books, most of them are academic works, the main fields are humanities and social sciences, psychology, of which law also accounts for a large proportion, sociology, psychology is not a top priority, but legal books are exactly what he needs, Wen Xiaocheng's eyes are shining, and he is not picky, he quickly took out a copy of "Supporting Rules and Adjudication Points of the Criminal Procedure Law" from the bookshelf, sat at the desk, and read it hungrily.

This is actually a reference book for the adjudicators, equivalent to the supporting dictionary of the Criminal Procedure Law, which is boring to read, but Wen Xiaocheng enjoys it, and the whole book has more than 760 pages, and it only took him more than 20 minutes to imprint them all in his mind.

After awakening, Xiaocheng found that reading is a completely different experience than before, before reading books, it was word by word, silently reciting in the heart, translating the text into audio signals, and then the brain interpreting the meaning, after a silent reading and interpretation, the part of interest or the part that deliberately emphasizes the need to remember is stored as knowledge. Now reading a book, it is completely different, by the visual direct access to information, looking at not a sentence composed of words, but a whole page of content, what comes into view is a picture full of words, no need to read it silently, the brain directly extracts the content expressed in the book from the subtle differences in the picture, and then fuses some of the information they know for classification, comparison, and storage. When reading a book, while solving some problems, the brain itself also discovers some problems and asks some questions. It is as if a drop of ink drops on rice paper, in addition to the point that first touches it, will also be impregnated and extended, and the extended area is much larger than the area of simple ink contact.

Learning is nothing more than that, on a blank piece of paper, there are countless such ink dots, representing the breadth of knowledge, if the ink dots in it are connected, then it can be said that in a certain field. It's just that this piece of paper is infinitely large, so it is impossible for someone to completely dye it black.

After reading a book, Wen Xiaocheng was still unsatisfied, put the book back in its place, and pulled another book from the shelf, this is a criminal law trial case, which has been selected as a textbook by many colleges and universities specializing in law, and there are more than 500 pages. Relatively speaking, the case looks like the story will be stronger, but this time Xiaocheng read it slowly, combined with the previous reference book, now look at the case as if theory combined with practice, there was still some confusion before, a little bit clearer, as if the two drops of ink have an overlapping part, the color is darker, and it is called touch bypass in an idiom.

The old and the young, the old ones in the living room are studying the chess game, and they don't think about tea and dinner, and the little ones in the study are studying the criminal law, and they are hungry and thirsty. Time passed minute by minute, and before you knew it, it was more than an hour and an hour. Xiao Cheng explained carefully just now, and Professor Dai himself has a good foundation in chess skills, so in less than two hours, I dare not say that I have eaten the expedition to the west thoroughly, but the changes in all directions are already clear, and the study of this game is here.

"Boy, boy, what are you doing? I have studied and understood this big expedition to the west, you come out, let's kill a game and change our brains!"

Solving the endgame naturally requires a very high level of chess attainment, but the high level of the endgame does not necessarily mean that the chess skills are superb, because a complete game of chess not only has an endgame, but also a beginning, a middle game, and a change in the opening game.

"Old man, you can help me put it on the table, I'm reading and studying!"

The old man snorted coldly, and said it nicely! Reading and studying, there is a set of Jin Yong's complete works on the bookshelf that can arouse the child's interest. I slandered in my heart, but I still put the red and black people on both sides of the Chu River and Han Realm in place, and then shouted Wen Xiaocheng again: "Come out, set it up, win a game with me, and reward you with 10 yuan!"

Afraid that the child would not play with him, the old man hung up his colorful head.

"Okay, then I'll go first, cannon two and six. Wen Xiaocheng shouted in the study.

Some people have reported that they don't understand chess, they don't feel comfortable reading it, it doesn't matter, it's just a transition, don't give up, you have to have confidence in your IQ.
