This endgame has a strange name in the tenth volume of Dream into the Divine Machine, called Regret.

I don't know if the name says that I regret it, whether it means black or "red".

……

"It seems that this Internet celebrity who doesn't know chess is going to win the master again." On Yang Zheng's left hand sat an old man with gray hair, his cloudy eyes looked at the Internet celebrity who was holding red first, and the corners of his eyes drooped with some regret.

It seems that he should have seen too many famous scenes of so-called Internet celebrities winning masters, and he should have seen too many Internet celebrities who don't know how to pretend to understand and say that they are chess grandmasters to swagger and cheat, to attract fans and cheat money.

Otherwise, how could the tone of his voice carry a sadness and dissatisfaction from the bottom of his bones?

"What are you talking about? Qin Xiaolian is not an Internet celebrity, she is a real chess grandmaster. Do you know how much she sacrificed to promote the culture of chess? Just now, because the Internet celebrity was sitting on Yang Zheng's right hand, he heard the dissatisfaction in the old man's tone.

He skipped the sadness on the old man's face in his words, and asked the old man angrily.

His tone was irreverent, with a hint of arrogance and anger towards the world that belonged to his age, he looked at the old man and began to count the contributions made by the Internet celebrity named Qin Xiaolian to the culture of chess.

For example, he said that Qin Xiaolian paid out of her own pocket to make up for the discount benefits that a certain chess club specially gave her fans to learn chess.

For example, in order to promote the culture of chess, she turned down many commercial performances and began to travel across the country, challenging street chess champions in different cities.

For example, some time ago, she also donated 100,000 yuan to a certain mountainous area to build a chess primary school, but she said in the live broadcast room that she wanted to popularize chess to school-age children.

In this young man's mouth, the Internet celebrity named Qin Xiaolian on the stage seemed to have turned into a tall giant, and she also seemed to raise her arms high at the moment of turning into a giant, showing everyone the tattoos tattooed on her slender arms.

The tattoo seems to be written as chess.

The old man squinted his eyes and laughed as he listened to the young man's increasingly excited tone.

He asked the young man rhetorically, asking him if he had seen the original tuition fees of that chess club?

He also asked the young man if the street chess kings in her video were all gray-haired old men wearing vests and shaking big fans?

He even asked the young man rhetorically, asking him if he had ever seen the so-called chess school built with 100,000 yuan?

His laughter made the young man angry.

His laughter also made Yang Zheng, who was sitting between him and the young man, unable to focus on looking at the chess on the stage.

"Since you look down on our little pity so much, do you dare to bet that she can win the chess master on the stage?" The young man's face turned red and white for a while, and finally looked at Qin Xiaolian, who had an absolute advantage on the stage, his face was half red and half white, and he made a bet loudly to the old man.

There was madness in his eyes, and it seemed that he was restraining himself, restraining his anger when the fig leaf was removed.

Obviously, the old man doesn't know how to gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble, because he knows chess, chess games, and even more sophistication of these people. Therefore, he understands that this commercial performance is actually building momentum for that Internet celebrity.

Although the marrow in his bones called stubbornness and love for chess was burning like a fire, he finally sat down in his chair and looked at the stage helplessly.

Perhaps, the biggest reason why he doesn't gamble is that he doesn't want the only love of chess in his bone marrow to be extinguished by the cold script on stage.

The young man looked at the old man who was paralyzed, and his face seemed to be proud, proud that his favorite idol could speak with victory and defeat.

But before the pride on his face could turn into a mockery of the old man's loss of courage, a faint voice came.

"I'll bet with you, bet on that master, and I'll win."

……

The chess nerd seems to have fallen into passivity, and Black's advantage on the board has long since gradually become a disadvantage as Red takes the lead.

Is she going to lose?

Are you finally going to lose?

She looked at the few remnants of the defeated soldiers on her chessboard, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart.

She hadn't lost in a long time, and since she apprenticed, she seemed to have had few defeats over the years.

Especially when she has thoroughly eaten "Chess Endgame", even her chess master is no longer her opponent.

At this time, she missed her master a little, and thought about the elegant middle-aged man who always smiled.

If only he were alive at this point.

……

"General." Qin Xiaolian shouted the word general for the first time, and when she looked carefully, this Internet celebrity had already broken out in a cold sweat, far less relaxed than shouting the word "general" in front of the camera.

After all, she seemed to see herself after defeat in the first few chess moves.

Obviously, the organizer informed her about the method of solving this endgame three days ago, and it was also clear that in the headphones she was wearing in her left ear, there was also a real first-class chess player in the team behind her as insurance for this endgame.

But from the intermittent and trembling voice of the first-class chess master coming from her earphones, it was enough to see that this chess game had already almost killed herself again and again in the anti-routine of the chess master opposite who did not follow the routine.

Fortunately, if you are either Red or Black, you will have already been decided by your opponent.

It's all coming to an end, though.

Because, the scales of victory have basically settled with her general.

She looked at the chess nerd who was still thinking on the other side with some admiration and some disgust.

She wondered why the woman was still resisting.

She was also thinking that after the game was over, she would see if she could use the money to bring the chess master on the other side into her team.

She even calculated the highest price in her heart.

Three hundred thousand.

Yes, just 300,000, she shouldn't be able to resist the temptation of 300,000 annual salary.

It's a big deal, and train her to become an Internet celebrity!

Anyway, these days, whether it is a master or a celebrity, don't they all aspire to become an Internet celebrity with millions or even tens of millions of fans?

Especially in this Internet era, traffic represents money and the future.

Now, her traffic has reached the limit, otherwise she would not take the initiative to reduce her value on the catwalk, let alone play chess according to the script, all of which can only be blamed on the team behind her, the goods are not real, and the price is not real.

As long as her team can have a real chess master to join, maybe this chess master can bring her three million, or even ten million.

Anyway, the top folk masters in China are less than 100,000 a year.

Anyway, as long as there is a culture with two traditional words, in her eyes, it is money spent in vain on the Internet.

……

Yang Zheng looked at the chess nerd who was about to lose, and an unreal feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

He didn't believe that a chess nerd who could easily beat him and Wang Fugui would lose.

He doesn't understand the game of chess, nor does he understand the law that the red side must win in the endgame, he just thinks that the game of chess will always have miracles.

"Lose! I'll just say that Qin Xiaolian is a chess grandmaster! You see, the master can't even do it. The young man saw the dawn tilting towards him, and he looked at the old man arrogantly, and also looked at Yang Zheng who was betting with him.

But soon, he saw Yang Zheng smiling.

This smile made the young man a little confused.

When he looked at the stage with Yang Zheng's gaze and smile, he also saw that the chess master who was obviously at a disadvantage on the chessboard was actually laughing.

The chess master's smile is obviously much better than Yang Zheng's, and her smile is full of a domineering spirit that looks down on the world.

With a snap,

The game continues.
