The gong sounded loudly, and with Fang Qingshan's appearance, the second day of the Oiran competition kicked off.

Today. The two chess arts, calligraphy and painting of the competition are interspersed with the free singing and dancing programs provided by the five famous buildings as embellishments, which is also the eye-catching publicity activities of the five famous buildings; The five rising stars known as the five little golden flowers of Qinhuai will appear on stage; Many gluttonous guests have long been thirteen or fourteen-year-old chicks who are as tender as these flower bones, and before their official debut, they can see them perform their talents, and it is good to lock the target in advance.

The first is the chess competition, and only on such high-level occasions can you see such a game, ordinary red cards only need to be able to sing and dance and look beautiful, but Qin Huai Oiran has to add things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to reflect the wisdom in addition to the above. Just imagine, under the pressure of the body is a talented woman who can recite poetry and paint, and the sense of possessive satisfaction is extraordinary.

Today, there is a huge floating platform in the middle of the water surface, like a water stage, tonight's game does not need to be entered by a boat, the people of the race are connected by a small boat, and they can board the floating platform.

There are four long and wide wooden planks standing around the floating platform, and some people stand on both sides, and their purpose is not known for the time being; There are a few or two in the center of the floating platform, which seem to be for the two people to sit and play against each other. The 10 Oiran contenders will take to the court in turn and play against one of the national players in the judges, and the rankings will be determined by the number of winners and losers.

Song Nan soon realized the drawbacks of this kind of competition, under the seemingly fair competition system, there are actually many loopholes hidden. In the whole chess competition, only one person can influence the rankings, that is, the judge who acts as the opponent, and the other nine judges become spectators; And once the judge deliberately releases the water, it will become a very unfair competition. What Song Nan is most worried about is that the whole game is actually a game that tends to the five famous buildings, if the national players of this game are people from the five famous buildings, then needless to say, the five famous buildings will take advantage of this link.

Taking advantage of the fact that the competition had not yet started, Song Nan hurriedly asked Liu's mother to raise objections, although it was not practical to change the competition system temporarily, and it was unwise to question the fairness of the judges, but Song Nan had already decided to help Shen Yunyan go further, so he naturally had to consider all these possibilities.

Fang Qingshan was extremely annoyed by the questioning of Yunxiao Pavilion, the Oiran Contest has been held for ten sessions, and no one has ever questioned this matter, but Fang Qingshan also knows that Yunxiao Pavilion's questioning is reasonable, although he said sarcastically: "Everyone Liu cares so much, it seems that Yunxiao Pavilion is determined to win the name of the Oiran this time, as far as I know, with Shen Yunyan's chess skills, it seems that he can't be so careful." ”

The implication is that Shen Yunyan's chess skills are not on the table, so what are you doing so much? It's not going to get a good ranking anyway.

Mother Liu was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a smile: "The old body is here to avoid anyone questioning it afterwards and ruining the reputation of the Oiran Competition. ”

Fang Qingshan was choked and speechless, Mother Liu's words actually carried a hint of threat, the implication was that if there was a cat, some words would definitely be spread afterwards, and everyone would not be able to get off the stage at that time. Fang Qingshan didn't want to ruin the reputation of the Oiran competition, and after weighing it, he summoned all the judges to discuss countermeasures to the doubts raised by Yunxiao Pavilion. The judge who was the protagonist of tonight blew his beard angrily and glared angrily, angrily scolding Yunxiao Pavilion for questioning his impartiality, but the rest of the judges felt that this questioning was justified, especially the few people led by Tang Yin decided to change the competition system.

The competition, which was supposed to start after the gong sounded, had been delayed for a long time, and the people who were watching and waiting were a little commotional, and finally after Fang Qingshan hurriedly went in and out of the judges' seat to the flower boats, and even the dragon-headed big boat several times, the gong sounded again, and Fang Qingshan announced the change of the competition system.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in view of the doubts about the competition system raised by Yunxiao Pavilion, after consulting the opinions of the gentlemen on the jury and the opinions of the top ten famous buildings, the competition system that was originally intended to be played against the contestants by Zhou Da was considered unfair enough, and now it has been temporarily decided to change it to ten participants in two groups of wheel battles, each win a game, get three points cumulatively, the draw gets two points each, and the loser gets one point; The first one will be judged by ten votes, and those with the same number of wins and losses will play an extra game to establish the ranking, and so on. ”

The crowd was in an uproar, and immediately became excited, originally the game of Go is a boring thing, many people don't understand at all, just to see a lively scene, but once the Oiran competitors pinch in pairs, it is completely different, this is a face-to-face fight, even if you don't understand it, just look at the expressions they only see when fighting, it is an interesting thing.

The new format was established, and the preparations were done quickly, and four small tables were soon added in the middle of the floating platform, for a total of five games; At the same time, more than 10 surrounding plates were added. When the ten Oiran Lady competitors were carried by the boat to the floating platform to prepare for the competition, the curtain on the platform was lifted, and the two people standing next to them each held a palm-sized black and white disc and waited with bated breath. Song Nan can see that these big wooden boards standing around are disks, and those black and white pieces as big as discs are probably equipped with magnets, which is done to demonstrate the progress of the chess game to the people watching the game around, which is equivalent to live broadcasting.

Song Nan had to admire Fang Qingshan's ability, I am afraid that in addition to himself, only he can think of these things, if this person is not a traveler, Song Nan would rather chop off his own head.

The draw group ended, and unfortunately Shen Yunyan entered Zheng Peipei's group, and it was Zheng Peipei who faced Zheng Peipei in the first round. For this result, Shen Yunyan was also very helpless, he drew Zheng Peipei in the first round, and the schadenfreude in the eyes of the women next to him was obvious, Shen Yunyan tried to keep himself calm, and recalled in his mind the words that Song Nan whispered before going on the court.

"You and I both know that the way of the pattern cannot be achieved quickly, and it is impossible to improve the technique, but with my experience, I can give you some suggestions. You must know that most of those who are skilled in chess are good at calculation and layout, and the higher their chess skills, the more beautiful they will win and the better they will win. It's their psychology that we can exploit. The calculating person also has his disadvantages, that is, if he likes to pay more than an inch of land, maybe you can provoke her anger and constantly harass him and mess up the other party's state of mind. In addition, in the overall situation, sometimes giving up is also a kind of attack, the so-called taking a step back and opening up the sky, in the case of not being as good as the other party, such as exhausting mental strength in order to compete for the part, in the end it will be a failure due to poor consideration, so transfer the battlefield in a timely manner, and deal with some seemingly faint but actually a countermeasure, maybe it can achieve miraculous results. ”

Song Nan's Go skills are limited, if it weren't for a friend in the Go world among his friends in later generations, he wouldn't understand these truths, he and his husband had played against each other twice, and the games were all exquisite endgames, one was born with double life, and one battle was won, relying on this sudden play that was very different from others; Song Nan can be regarded as teaching him everything.

With a 'snap', Zheng Peipei's Qianqianyu finger landed on the chessboard with a black spot, and Fang Qingshan shouted loudly: "The first round of the game begins." ”

Suddenly, the sound of crackling and falling continued, and the situation of ten charming women, shaking a group of fans under the bright lights, is rare in the world. Even people who don't know how to play Go are fascinated and full of food.

The demo cards around the game conveyed the progress of the game in a timely manner, and those who knew chess made babbling sounds, or twisted their heads, or frowned and shook their heads, or sighed frequently; Some people whispered to the people around them to explain the progress, telling them that the big dragon was about to be slaughtered, where the qi was very tight, where there was about to be a big fight, etc., but it became a big Go teaching lecture hall.

Song Nan has always paid attention to the progress of Shen Ruyan and Zheng Peipei's game, and from the perspective of his meager chess strength, Zheng Peipei is indeed a master in this game. After entering the middle game, Song Nan knew that Shen Ruyan's defeat was decided, and the level of chess strength was really not a temporary thing, unless Zheng Peipei made a mistake, it would be difficult to return to the sky.

However, Song Nan was pleased that Shen Ruyan explained to himself that he learned the law quickly, and the middle game provoked war in the hinterland several times, abandoning the two pieces of territory in the lower left and right corners, and successfully worked in the middle of the abdomen, and moved back to a lot of situations, but unfortunately the disadvantage was too great, and he soon admits defeat.

In half an hour, the five chess games are all over, these weak beauties are impressive in the table between the lines, some people have a fierce chess style, if you don't look at the delicate posture of the game, you still think that it is a reckless man who is fighting and killing, stirring up the wolf smoke.

Zheng Peipei, Gu Lianlian, Tu Xiuxiu, Meng Xiaoxiao, Zheng Xiuer and other five people all defeated their opponents, and four of these five people came from the five famous buildings, which shows the overall strength of the five famous buildings.

Song Nan didn't care about the loss in the first round, and he didn't hope that Shen Yunyan could perform well, he only needed to rank five or six, and the second round was the key. Taking advantage of the rest of the incense stick time in between, Song Nan subconsciously looked towards the huge dragon-headed ship moored not far away, but saw that the servants and maids in the big ship's cabin were busy coming in and out, and there was an endless stream of dishes and plates, knowing that it must be Zhu Chenhao sitting in the cabin.
