Since the chess god Jiang Taigong awakened the chess soul, there have been people who have awakened the chess soul, but there are very few people who can awaken the innate chess soul. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Some chess players with advanced chess skills have found that after breaking through the national players in chess and reaching the realm of saints, ghosts, and immortals, they can use their own strength to help others awaken the soul of chess. However, throughout the ages, there have been too few players who have reached this point.

After countless researches, people found that after the stone statues of chess saints, ghosts, and immortals were worshipped, there would be a strange power on the stone statues. This power not only improves the perception of chess, but also helps people awaken the soul of chess. Since then, any chess academy has established a tribute courtyard to store the remains of the saint for future generations to worship. That mysterious power is also known as the Holy Force.

There are three main buildings in the Qingling Chess Academy, in addition to the Qingling Pavilion and the Bishui Chess Arena, the third building is the Gongyuan. The Great Chu Kingdom Tribute Academy opens once a year, and all chess players who have not awakened the chess soul can enter the Tribute Academy to participate in the chess test. Bishui City is only a small city in the Great Chu Kingdom, and only about thirty people can pass the chess test every year. However, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of chess players who participate in the chess test.

It is a rule that is not allowed to enter the Gongyuan by chess players since ancient times, so Ji Qing did not bring a small ring today. When he arrived at the Gongyuan, the chess test was almost starting.

"Today's chess test, Ji Qing has only come to the Gongyuan until now, is he already confident?" Hearing Gou Feipeng's inquiry, Ji Qing couldn't help but blush with old age, he was confident, but the bad habit of sleeping lazy in his previous life had not been changed, if it wasn't for Xiaohuan waking him up in the morning, it is estimated that he was still sleeping soundly.

"Gou Feipeng, don't make fun of me anymore, you don't know my strength, it's hard to say whether you can pass the chess test. "Ji Qing's chess academy assessment is only about thirty people each time, not to mention that the people who participate in the chess test are not only students of Qingling Chess Academy.

Gou Feipeng sighed: "You still have a chance to fight, I am absolutely hopeless." It is estimated that only Zifeng can definitely pass the chess test. ”

Zifeng opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ji, I believe you can pass the chess test." ”

Hearing Zifeng's words, Gou Feipeng was already surprised. Zifeng only had a good relationship with Ji Qing in the entire Qingling Chess Academy, if it weren't for the fact that Gou Feipeng was Ji Qing's best friend, it is estimated that Zifeng would not even pay attention to him.

The three of them chatted without saying a word, and half an hour later, a bell rang, the chess test officially began, and the chess players entered the Gongyuan one after another.

The chess test is divided into three stages, which test the player's opening, middle and endgame.

There are ten questions in each assessment, the first nine are all unified by the Great Chu Kingdom, and the last question is the icon question.

When the test papers for the opening game were distributed, the players began to put pen to paper. In a palace behind the Gongyuan, two old men and a middle-aged man were talking.

"Master Yu Ziyan, I didn't expect the royal family to send you this time. Shi Hongmao said to another centenarian.

The old man who was called Yu Ziyan replied with a sad face. "To tell you the truth, I asked to come to Bishui City this time. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man on the side, Xiang Hongyu, the city lord of Bishui City, said, "Could it be that the master is here to ......?"

"Not bad. It's for her. Yu Ziyan said.

Shi Hongmao's face was full of doubts, and he asked, "Why did you bother the master to come to Bishui City in person?"

"Hey. Yu Ziyan sighed deeply. "Family matters, don't mention it. ”

"I don't know what the exam questions from Chu Guo are this time, we might as well take a look together. Seeing that Yu Ziyan didn't want to say more, Shi Hongmao hurriedly diverted the topic. But when he got the test paper, he was stunned and didn't say a word. Seeing that Shi Hongmao was suddenly stunned, Xiang Hongyu took the test questions and looked at them, and couldn't help but feel sad for this year's chess players.

In chess, the opening game is generally a mobilization deployment of the battle, and its strategic requirements are mainly to take the first move, and once the opening game is lost, it may lead to the loss of the whole game.

"Immortal Guidance", "Three-Step Tiger", "Palace Cannon", "Shijiao Cannon", "Screen Horse" and "Anti-Palace Horse". The first six questions are very simple, and Ji Qingxin pinched them by hand.

Seeing the seventh, eighth, and ninth questions, he couldn't help frowning, if it wasn't for the fact that he had deliberately checked some evil openings in his previous life, he would definitely not be able to do it.

The name of the seventh question is "Double Flying Swallow". At the beginning of the game, the horse two into one, the horse eight into nine, jumping two horses, few people to use, very remote.

The eighth question is "dismounting", if "Shuangfeiyan" is still an orthodox opening, then "dismounting" can already be regarded as an evil move, which is to start directly cannon two into seven and knock out the opponent's horse. However, after the opponent's rook has eaten the cannon, he looks at the entire board, but Black has one more step and Red does not move. It is equivalent to invisibly giving up one step first, according to the principle of giving up one son rather than giving up one first, which is really against the principle of chess.

The ninth is entitled "Royal Driving Pro-Expedition", if "Dismounting" is just a step first, then "Royal Driving Pro-Expedition" is a two-step first, the beginning of the handsome five into one, and the future will inevitably retire from the handsome.

After answering all the test questions, Ji Qing's test papers rose directly into the air and flew towards the statue of the saint in the tribute courtyard, and all the candidates' test papers were uniformly corrected by the statue of the saint.

At this time, a small void chessboard appeared in front of Ji Qing, which was condensed by the power of the chess path of the Sage's relic. Looking at the name of the tenth question, "Iron Luge", Ji Qing didn't know what to say.

As one of the layout of the evil gate, the iron pulley, like the death cannon, is impossible to hear of with their chess strength.

Fortunately, in the previous life, some chess anchors often used this trick to attract the attention of the audience, and although Ji Qing didn't know how to use the iron pulley, he still knew the layout. He picked up the chess pieces on the void chessboard, and it was one rook and one by one.

After the Void Chessboard dissipated, all the candidates left the Tribute Academy to wait for the results of the exam. Only those who score more than six points in the opening exam can take the middle game exam, and those who score less than six can only take this exam next year.

"What are these delphiniums?"

"What the hell does the iron pulley go?"

"It seems that this year has been in vain, so I can only come back next year. ”

"No, brother. Although the last four questions are more difficult, the first six questions are also considered a common layout. ”

"You don't know, I don't know much about the anti-palace horse in the common layout. ”

As soon as he left the tribute courtyard, Ji Qing heard the chess players complaining. But some people are still calm, like Zhang Yulong and Mu Ruicheng, who are already masters of the younger generation, or some veterans who have taken several exams.

"How did Brother Ji do in the exam?" Zifeng asked.

Ji Qing said with a smile: "I should be able to pass the opening exam, and if I think that with the strength of my brother, I will definitely pass the chess test." He said to the fat man Gou Feipeng on the side: "How did you take the test?"

Gou Feipeng frowned slightly, turned his head and asked Ji Qing: "Which one is the way to pass the palace cannon and the Shijiao cannon is the cannon two flat six and the cannon eight flat four?"

"Naturally, it's a palace cannon, you can't do anything wrong, right?" Ji Qing put away his smile and hurriedly asked.

Gou Feipeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not wrong." ”

Soon, the statue of the saint completed the examination papers. A huge light curtain appeared in the void, and everyone's achievements appeared on the light curtain.

"Who are Ji Qing and Zifeng? ”

"I've heard of Zifeng, but Qingling Chess Academy is in the top three this year, but Ji Qing hasn't heard of it. ”

"It's so rare to be able to get ten points in the test paper, it seems to be a dark horse, you must know that Zhang Yulong and Mu Ruicheng only scored nine points. ”

Yingren looked at Ji Qing's words on the light curtain, looked at his score of eight points above, and whispered: "The opening doesn't mean anything, many side openings are not used in the game, when you really show your strength." ”

Mu Ruicheng and Zhang Yulong were stunned for a while, they didn't expect that there would be two people above them, and they were not their old rivals. The two clenched their fists, and there was a look of battle in their eyes.

When Gou Feipeng saw his six-point score, he just wanted to cheer, but when he saw that Ji Qing and Zifeng were both ten, his mouth opened so much that he didn't know what to say.

Ji Qing and Zifeng looked at each other at the same time, their eyes full of incredulity.

At this time, a crisp bell rang, the middle game exam began, and all the candidates who scored more than six points entered the Gongyuan again.
