08 Chessman, Flow, Oblivion

If you want to become a chess master in a short period of time, the most effective way is nothing more than to play against different opponents.

To learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, to improve their own imperfect chess path.

Before the 21st century, the opponents in actual combat were basically divided into two categories, one was the modern masters, and the other was the ancient chess players.

According to the normal historical trajectory, modern masters should have stepped on the shoulders of the ancient chess players, to make the chess game more perfect, and to carry forward the traditional culture of chess.

But today's chess masters, after the nineties, have rarely grown in influence and popularity.

After the 21st century, it has stagnated.

This has also led to the fact that many people who love or hate chess or even do not know chess nowadays pin their love and hate for chess on the third type of chess players that have only emerged in the 21st century.

This third category of chess players is known as artificial intelligence.

But can artificial intelligence really replace the modern masters and ancient chess players to inherit the chess that has been passed down for thousands of years?

But at least in the endgame, the wisdom of the ancients surpassed that of modern chess players and artificial intelligence, which had not yet reached its peak.

What is transcendence? It is probably that the ancients were better able to construct the essence of chess on the chessboard than today's masters and artificial intelligence.

The essence of the so-called chess is a life that knows the outcome of a game, but has different ways to reverse it!

……

After the chess nerd finished the endgame, she raised her head, and at some point, a fine sweat broke out on her forehead.

This sweat is not cold, but hot.

She seemed to be able to hear her own pounding heartbeat in the heat.

She also wanted to continue playing chess, and wanted to see more ancient landscapes that she had never seen before.

However, the game's artificial intelligence seems to come to an end here.

She looked at the blue words on the computer screen. There was an indescribable thing in my heart, and this indescribable thing slowly calmed down the heartbeat that was still piercing just now.

These indescribable things seem to be turned into stones and poured up the throat one by one with this hard-won peace, and when they are about to fill the throat, they are frozen into inverted sentences with question marks at the last critical moment. When these inverted sentences were about to come out of his mouth above his throat, the chess nerd finally came to his senses.

She was trying her best to restrain herself, and she restrained herself from letting these inverted sentences turn into fine sand and slowly slide into the bottom of her heart.

She stood up, looked at the refreshed hosts on stage, and closed her eyes.

……

The ten-minute endgame just now disrupted the host's host, and even more disrupted the plan of this commercial performance.

After all, in this commercial show, the chess nerd is not the protagonist, the game manufacturer and the Internet celebrity who appears next are the protagonists.

In this era where time must be equal to money, ten minutes of time is enough to make game manufacturers lose tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Similarly, these ten minutes of time also allowed Internet celebrities to earn tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands more.

Since game manufacturers and Internet celebrities are spending and earning in this commercial show, they are spending and earning one another.

What is the significance of the existence of chess nerds?

Yang Zheng looked at the more and more young people around him who gathered because of the word Internet celebrity.

His eyes were also unconsciously on the protagonist just now, but at this time, because of the Internet celebrity who was about to come to the stage, he fell to a chess nerd who was not even as good as a supporting role.

He seemed to see that on the sleeve of the chess nerd's ancient Hanfu, a withering peony was embroidered.

The peony that is withering seems to have been beautiful in people's hearts.

However, now this beautiful peony has to wither, because if she does not wither at this time.

She can't stand up to the paper flowers that never fade, and the eternal flowers that are made of cold steel.

……

The Internet celebrity on stage is obviously a wonderful person, with a wonderful face, wonderful legs, and most importantly, she speaks very well.

Compared to a chess nerd who can't say pretty words, she is obviously much more professional.

In her beautiful eyes, in her high heels, and in her cheongsam, it seems that she does not pretend to be enthusiastic about chess as a chess player. Instead, he pretended to be all about human feelings.

That well-known sophistication not only made her well-fitting cheongsam charming, but also made her more able to mobilize the emotions of the audience than the host who could only tell jokes just now.

She laughs, she goes, she sits in front of the computer, all with charming proportions.

The endgame that "plagued" the chess nerd for about 20 minutes just now was basically a game a minute in her hands.

Even the endgame of "Dream into the Divine Machine" written on the last plate, it only took her two minutes to easily crack it.

In comparing the length of time it took to crack the game, the chess nerd lost.

But in Yang Zheng's eyes, the chess nerd won instead.

Because, in the final endgame, the chess nerd's solo breakthrough is more ingenious than this Internet celebrity with the word "wonderful" written all over his body.

But also, because after learning that she was an Internet celebrity, more and more young people cheered, and the chess nerd also lost a mess.

……

The chess nerd and the Internet celebrity finally had a face-to-face computer chess game.

It's just that in this face-to-face computer chess game, it is almost impossible to see the chess strength of both sides.

After all, this face-to-face chess game is just an endgame.

As a real master, he is a chess nerd, holding a black child, and an Internet celebrity, who is a grandmaster, holding a red child.

On the face alone, Red is inferior to Black.

But in the eyes of a master of chess, Red is definitely a sure winner for Black.

Just as in the chess game, it is always Red defeating Black, and just like in history, Liu Bang's ending is also to win the world.

Many things, since birth, have been predestined by God.

Victory or defeat, in this commercial performance that is not a chess-themed performance, is actually predestined.

However, Yang Zheng has the confidence that the chess nerd will win.

Of course, if the nerd really wants to win.

……

This endgame is a bit weird.

It's still an endgame that chess nerds haven't seen, and it's speculated from the overall distribution of the endgame.

Black should be the old flying move.

In the oldest endgame, the meaning of the ancients to start with the flying phase game is not to have both offense and defense as it is now said, but to blindly defend after knowing that the chess strength is not as good as the opponent.

But the chess pieces on the nerd's side played very aggressively after the flying phase game, so radical that four of the nine pawns crossed the river and stuck the throat of the old handsome man on the red side.

On the contrary, Red is at a disadvantage, defending until there are only seven discs left, but each of these seven discs has set layers of traps, no matter how the chess nerd moves, then she will end up with a draw.

This makes some sense.

Because in the endgame, Red is the cracker and Black is the layout.

Black should be able to hide big and small traps to trick Red.

But in this endgame, there is only Red as the layout, but there is no cracker.

What's the point of that endgame?

And what role does Black play?

She looked at the "Dream into the Divine Machine Volume 10" written at the bottom of the chess game on the computer, and fell silent.
