05 Flower and Sword (4)
Men collide with men, and they will never miss a word "fight".
When chess masters collide with chess masters, they will not lose the word "win".
Outcome? Qualification?
Perhaps, as this middle-aged man said, this is indeed an era that only looks at wins and losses, and it is also a world of seniority.
He is a world of winners and losers.
Although Yang Zheng and the middle-aged man both felt that their meeting was a bit "coincidence" and a little "incredible".
But when men collide with men.
The word "fight" has become a word "war" under the face of "winning".
Yang Zheng didn't want to "fight", but he had to "fight".
Because of this chess club, there are too many children who know him, and these children blink their eyes and shout for him to "fight".
"Eligibility... You don't know until you've been down. ”
In these shouts, Yang Zheng slowly stopped hesitating.
He seemed to feel that if he "didn't fight", "didn't fight", and "didn't win", he seemed to be about to taste the parting he hated the most.
will also be like the fat man in front of him, and he is destined to "regret" in the future.
"Sure enough, it's a kick." The middle-aged man looked at Yang Zheng who did not hesitate, and he sneered and brought Yang Zheng to the chessboard in the middle of the chess club.
He generously gave up the first red square to Yang Zheng, and he also changed from "coincidence" and "incredible" to Yang Zheng's firmness.
He held out his hand and said the word "please."
Then, he looked at the growing audience in the chess club, he lowered his head and looked at the chessboard, quietly waiting for Yang Zheng's fall.
……
Since losing to the influencer who doesn't know how to play, he probably can't afford to lose.
At nearly forty years old, he actually lived a very failed life.
Because he has loved playing chess since he was a child, he is a man with no future in the eyes of his family and friends. Although he did later support himself in this cruel world through chess.
But his family and friends still think he is just a plaything and a "loser".
It wasn't until he appeared on a TV show, became an Internet celebrity, and earned a fortune of millions that his family and friends felt that he had a "chance" and greeted him with a smile every day.
Of course, behind this smiling face also represents the money he earned after becoming famous, and a considerable part of it went into the pockets of his family and friends.
He also seems to have found his own value in this intoxicated smile, and he seems to have finally found the family, friendship and even love that he has fantasized about countless times.
But he seems to have forgotten, forgotten the chess that had moved and strengthened him, and forgotten that everything he had, all of which he did not buy with his down-to-earth feet.
But what about forgetting? As long as he has traffic, fans, and the smiles of his family and friends, his "tomorrow" is destined to be better than "yesterday".
As long as he continues to maintain his status as an Internet celebrity, he will never become the unpromising "loser" in the eyes of his former family and friends again.
In order to maintain traffic and increase fans, he took the initiative to sign a contract with a well-known domestic Internet celebrity agency, and under the careful arrangement of this well-known domestic Internet celebrity agency, he has to play chess with different opponents every day, and these opponents are naturally chess players bought by the institution. He only needs to be responsible for calling the general.
If it weren't for the fact that this Internet celebrity agency has cultivated a new chess Internet celebrity, he probably wouldn't have lost the most crucial game of chess in his life so easily.
He will never forget that when he went to play chess according to the script given to him by the Internet celebrity agency, it was the opponent on the opposite side who shouted the general.
He will never forget that he lost this game of chess, and he also lost everything he had.
Not only did he lose traffic, fans, and money, but he even lost love, friendship, and family affection.
He looked at all that he had lost, and he suddenly remembered that he still had chess. It's just that when he went to set up the chess like a life-saving straw, he found that he could no longer seem to hold the chess piece that once made him feel light.
So, he panicked and gave up on himself.
He lay in bed for a whole year, looking at the ceiling almost every day like the walking dead, and slowly began to complain about this traffic-oriented world.
If it weren't for his most desperate and sad time, when the chess scout of the Southern Chess Club found him and wanted to borrow his fame and traffic to open the northern market.
He may continue to lie down for the rest of his life.
He looked at the chess scout who offered him a salary of 10,000 yuan per month, although he felt that it was less, he also felt that it was completely inferior to the one-day live broadcast income of being an Internet celebrity before.
But he felt he had no choice.
Just like now that he met this young man who kicked the gym, he also felt.
It seems that he has no choice but to win.
……
He is very arrogant, because during his time as an Internet celebrity, his most brilliant record was to defeat a professional chess player who was a first-class chess player.
Although he has never been in contact with a grandmaster chess player.
But he felt that the chess master was nothing.
Because he has been playing chess for so many years, he has long had his own chess path.
His move is one of defense.
This chess path was realized in a few books left by his deceased mother, although these books are not chess games, and they do not have a complete cover, but when put together, they can actually be regarded as a real chess game.
He didn't know what the book was called.
But he knew that these books that were not chess games were called Feilu Bai.
This flying deer daytime is a new type of chess game constructed from four different folk chess games.
These four folk chess games are "Sanhua Chess", "Shenlu Chess", "Double Chess", and "Four Kingdoms Chess".
Sanhua chess, also known as throwing three flowers, is a two-person territory game that spreads in Wuping County in the south, according to random chess and eats the king to win, and the rules of victory are similar to the rules of ordinary chess.
He distributes the child, walks the child, and eats the child.
In the first step, the endpoint, intersection point, and turning point of the three-flower chess board are the chess positions. The chess pieces should be made of different colors or materials, and can also be replaced by Go pieces, buttons, bottle caps, small stones, etc. In addition, you need to prepare three four-sided dice, one of which has a flower. Each person has 1 chess piece to represent the "emperor", and 4 chess pieces to represent the pawn.
At the beginning of the game, the two of them choose one end, with the emperor at each other's ends, and the pawn at the end of the half-arc line and the end of the vertical line next to it. Three dice can be rolled each turn, and for each n-sided flower roll, the player walks n. Each move can move any one of its own moves, and finally capture the enemy emperor to win.
This kind of three-trick chess, strictly speaking, is not an extension of chess.
But he is a test of chess's layout ideas and logical thinking ability.
When he first appeared on TV, professional chess players bullied him into being an amateur chess player and put him to the test with three endgames.
With the idea of breaking the game of three-flower chess, he easily cracked it and won the opportunity to play against professional chess players.
If you say, Sanhua Chess cultivates the ability to solve the endgame.
That "Shenlu Chess" is to cultivate his overall view.
After all, not many people know about Shenlu Chess now.
Shenlu Chess, also known as Great Chinese Chess, is similar to Chinese Chess, and is named after the addition of "deer" to the army.
The game is still cloth, walking, and eating.
The Shenlu chess game board is an 11×12 board. The chess pieces are ordinary chess pieces, with a total of 44 pieces, 22 pieces on each side.
Before the game begins, both sides set up their pieces.
When two deer on one side are next to each other in a horizontal or vertical line, the side can play two deer pieces at a time, not just one, or only one other move.
If two deer are not next to each other, only one deer can be walked at a time.
After the pawn reaches the opponent's bottom line, he can choose a pair of rooks, horses, cannons, throws, camels, and deer that have been eaten by the opponent at any time to resurrect, which is called upgrading, and upgrading is considered a move. Will go straight, the taxi will go diagonal, and will not go out of the palace.
Of course, he also has more stone throwers, deer and camels than ordinary chess, and the gameplay has become more varied because of these three extra chess.
The method of throwing the stone thrower is to walk straight without limiting the number of steps, and the diagonal interval is close to each other. And the camel's method is the big Japanese character. As for the deer, it can only walk on the upper part of the "Gu", that is, the diagonal points of the double "day" characters stacked or juxtaposed. No lame rules.
This kind of Shenlu chess is extremely complex, but it can train the player's overall view and overall planning ability more than ordinary chess.
During the period when he was an Internet celebrity, he played Shenlu chess live, but he gave up directly when the effect was not good.
Although the audience could not accept three-flower chess and Shenlu chess.
But they were surprisingly able to accept double chess and Shikoku chess.
After all, Double Chess and Shikoku Chess follow the general style of ordinary chess, and these two kinds of chess are extremely ornamental.
Especially in double chess, there are a total of 60 pieces, 30 pieces on each side, and in the endgame stage, his moves are so varied that they feel weird.
Chess, although it has always been criticized for its complexity.
However, the game that evolved from 1 to 4 is much more complicated than the second most complex game in the world.
……
Going from simple to complex is a difficult process.
Going from complex to simple is a painful process.
But hardship and pain are destined to reward a person beyond imagination.
His return is probably not only the Internet celebrity's income of more than one million.
But he is almost forty years old, and he still has the agile reflexes of a twenty-year-old and the mature layout ability of a thirty-year-old.
His defensive methods also opened Yang Zheng's eyes a little, because he was the only opponent Yang Zheng had met in the past year who used a cannon to defend.
This made Yang Zheng's speed slow down a lot. And he didn't seem to be in a hurry to entangle the speed of Yang Zheng's fall, he was still thinking desperately.
It was as if the moment he got out of bed until now, and he had never felt so tired as he did now.
Are you old?
He couldn't help but doubt himself.
However, compared to his suspicions about himself, Yang Zheng on the opposite side set off an earth-shattering wave in his heart.
Because, apart from Lao Zhou, he is probably the only opponent who makes him feel that he will fail.
Even the former chess nerds didn't put such pressure on him.
But even so, he gritted his teeth, step by step, looking for his own vitality and loopholes in his chess game in this rigorous thinking.
At the same time, the chess room of the Huajia Chess Club seems to have become less peaceful.
Wang Qi sat across from the chess nerd, and she looked at the endgame.
It was incredible in his eyes.
"This is under Yang Zheng?"
"Hmm." Although the tone of the chess nerd was as flat as before, her eyes seemed to be full of surprise.
"I really didn't expect him to be able to solve this kind of endgame."
"yes." The chess nerd recalled the first day of playing two games with him, and she was a little embarrassed.
Because in just half a year, Yang Zheng's chess strength has surpassed that of ordinary chess masters, and his chess strength is close to himself and Wang Qi.
But what she didn't know was that not long ago, Yang Zheng defeated Wang Qi beside her.
What she didn't know was that Wang Qi not only didn't tell her the fact that she lost, but she also concealed that she had wanted to poach Yang Zheng's past.
She was also fortunate not to know, otherwise, she would definitely stop Yang Zheng from challenging the Quartet Chess Club.
"You say, are there any masters in the surrounding chess clubs who can win against Yang Zheng?" The chess nerd put Yang Zheng's cannon back in place. She asked as she looked out the window and muttered.
Wang Qi thought for a moment, "Probably no one other than Li Sansi will be Yang Zheng's opponent." ”
"Li Sansi?" The chess nerd took his eyes back from the window.
"If it had been three years ago, he would have probably won against Yang Zheng."
"But now he is impossible."
"Because his chess is blunt, but Yang Zheng's chess is sharp."
