07 Eras, Chess Scores, Chess Players

If we say, "Appropriate Taste" is the most highly rated masterpiece in the history of contemporary chess.

Then the chess book "Dream into the Divine Machine" can be called one of the greatest treasures in the history of human chess.

Because most of the endgame chess games seen by later generations are inextricably linked to "Dream into the Divine Machine".

"Dream into the Divine Machine" is the oldest chess score that can be seen in modern times.

The book consists of 12 volumes, (according to Mr. Cheng Kwok-kwan's standard), of which only three fragments are now known to the world.

Whether it is "Appropriate Taste" or "Plum Blossom Spring", or even "The Secret of Orange", there is a shadow of "Dreaming into the Divine Machine".

It has been commented that "Dream into the Divine Machine" is "all in the table and no endgame".

It is enough to see the extraordinaryness of this score from these seven characters.

But such an extraordinary chess game! What is ridiculous and generous is that most young people today think that this score is a Go game! And it is constantly touted as the breadth and profundity of Go culture.

It's ridiculous and disheartening about the future of chess...

……

When she was very young, she was fortunate enough to see half of the fragment of "Dreaming into the Divine Machine", or rather, it was the half of the fragment of "Dreaming into the Divine Machine" that made her unswervingly embark on the road of no return to chess.

Later, with a natural memory, she used this half of the fragment to rise to prominence in second place in a citywide children's chess competition, and was favored by a chess master and became his close disciple.

That chess master is also the commentary host that Yang Zheng used to watch on TV, and he is also a well-known chess king in South China.

At that chess king's place, she came into contact with the two volumes of "Dream into the Divine Machine" that had been integrated into the "Chess Endgame".

This made her see that chess, which has always been vulgar and boring in the eyes of the world, has another side!

The other side of chess that is underestimated is precisely killing, fighting, fighting, and advancing!

Chess is all about killing! Kill the opponent's chess pieces and make a way for your side!

Chess is also a fight! Most games with equal chess strength, if you don't try your best to fight for a good future, you will only end up in a stalemate!

The chess game is even more battle! Knowing that the chess game is a disadvantage, do you have to tie up and kneel and beg for mercy? Only war! In order to defeat the opponent and defeat the life that seems to have an uncertain future!

The most important thing in the game of chess and life is to advance! Born as human beings, most people are born reverse! Headwinds! Against the water! Adversity!

In the face of so many adversities, in addition to being like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! Is there any other choice for chess players?

No, at least not the ancients.

Chess players in ancient times, unlike now, used "he" and "ping" to sell the so-called face.

At least in the eighties and nineties, there were many more men and women who knew how to kill, fight, fight, and exhaust and could use chess to feed a large family, but there were many more people than those who could be fed by Go!

In that era when the Internet was not popular, except for professional liars who used colored chess to cheat, in the eyes of the vast majority of chess masters, chess was even more important than their own lives!

It's just that most of these people who are willing to put chess above their lives are also crazy.

Nowadays, people who are willing to learn chess and consider it a future career should also be fools who don't know how to change! Either that, a big or small madman with crazy energy hidden in his bones!

……

Chess nerds have been playing this chess game for a long time.

This long game of chess made Yang Zheng a little incomprehensible.

Even a player like him, who is not as good as a chess nerd, will calculate the optimal algorithm within five minutes.

However, ten minutes have passed, and the chess nerd has not yet moved.

"Five algorithms." In these ten minutes, the chess nerd simulated five algorithms to solve the endgame in his mind.

However, she can't figure out the sixth algorithm.

The host looked at the "stalemate" chess nerd, and the sweet smile on the corner of his mouth gradually cooled down.

She looked at the audience who became more and more unstable because she didn't move, and she habitually kept throwing out jokes that made people laugh and looked like sand sculptures.

However, these are tried and tested jokes for young people.

In the eyes of these middle-aged and elderly audiences, it seems a little boring.

Because, when people of their age, they don't like the sand sculpture culture of young people very much.

In their eyes, these sand sculpture cultures are somewhat insulting to the sobriety that took them decades to recognize life.

If the world is full of sand sculptures, will this hard-to-recognize sobriety become a mistake?

It's a pity that the host on stage doesn't understand.

She was still throwing jokes, and it wasn't until Yang Zheng exclaimed that she came back to her senses and stopped her jokes unsatisfactorily.

The chess nerd moved.

Her way of playing is very awkward, and the endgame is supposed to be an adversity endgame in which she only has one soldier, one gun and one horse left, and she wins the opponent's two horses, one cart and one pawn.

If it is the correct move, it must be to use the cannon to directly bombard the opposite horse, and then use your own horse to slowly force the opponent's veteran to be cornered, so as to win the chess game with the most classic "horse hinder".

However, the chess nerd actually took the pawn as the main force and gave up the horse.

This made many people in the audience who knew chess subconsciously think that the chess nerd was a little ashamed of the wonderful performance just now and his identity as a chess master.

But soon, when the computer became passive because of this not following the routine.

Yang Zheng and the audience seemed to see a light they had never seen before from the figure of the chess nerd with his back to them.

This light shines like the sun.

Under this ray of sunlight, the soldier who moved the chess nerd was like a general who pulled out his sword in his crotch without hesitation after abandoning his horse, and people couldn't help but feel that the blood was boiling.

Although this endgame is a test of the trade-off in the eyes of the discerning person.

But in the hands of chess nerds, even the most insignificant ones.

She won't give up either.

The soldier who should have been abandoned seemed to feel the hopeful gaze of the chess nerd, and under the cover of the horse and the cannon, he slowly advanced like a hero.

This soldier who should have been abandoned, every step forward was very steady, and the chessboard, which was as yellow as a desert, made people desperate, seemed to have more scenery because of his advance.

A landscape that dares to break the mold.

A landscape that will never give up.

……

The host probably didn't know chess, she looked at the stunned audience, couldn't help but look back, and found that the chess nerd was just using the most ordinary pawn to solve the endgame.

She was a little unimpressed, after all, she probably only knew the rules of chess.

She thought even more disapprovingly, this so-called chess master was just using the most unpopular pawn on the chessboard to become a general, and he had no surprising skills at all.

She also thought that these long chess games and the most unpopular little soldier, how could it be interesting to host herself, and how could the Internet celebrities who appeared next be more dazzling.

But she seems to have forgotten that everyone watches chess, not to watch her host, nor all for the Internet celebrities who will appear next.

More people come just because they like chess.

For those who really like chess, a good duel is more important than many things.

It is precisely because of the existence of such people who love chess that traditional chess will always exist in this world.

Won't be eliminated and forgotten by the world!
