If you want to be invincible, you must abandon the vast majority of human emotions.

This is what Lao Zhou's adoptive mother Ah Fen once warned him, his adoptive mother Ah Fen was born ugly, fatherless and motherless, and went through hardships to become a disciple of the wild Taoist priest in the troubled times. In that turbulent and turbulent era, Ah Fen's peak moment was when she challenged the dean of the chess academy and never lost with one enemy and five defeats.

She also wanted to train Lao Zhou to be an even better chess master than her, so she locked Lao Zhou in a broken temple and let him specialize in the chess games left by Taoist priests, so that he could learn the Taoist "Yuan" before he was twenty years old. In order to let him draw the Taoist "circle" well, Ah Fen did not hesitate to lose one arm to play chess with the invader officers, and the bet was a chess game that was like waste paper in the eyes of many people.

It's a pity that Ah Fen seems to have forgotten, even if there are chess games, chessboards, and chess pieces. The most important thing in chess is the heart of chess, but it takes time to accumulate.

If you want to be truly invincible, how can you not have the heart?

It wasn't until the moment Ah Fen closed her eyes that she understood that she had never wanted Lao Zhou to be invincible on the chessboard. Instead, he expects him to be able to support himself with chess in his future life without her.

It's a pity that she no longer has the strength to say this to Lao Zhou.

Maybe she didn't expect that her previous strictness and harshness had always become Lao Zhou's demons, and it wasn't until she died that Lao Zhou really had a chess heart.

After Lao Zhou had a chess heart again, he lived a life that Ah Fen had never lived in his life. He also supported himself with chess as Ah Fen wished.

But I don't know when, Lao Zhou's chess heart is gone again.

When he gets the grandmaster title and wants to play chess against newcomers, someone always shows up in front of him and tells him that it won't work. When the omnipotent artificial intelligence wreaked havoc on domestic celebrities, he wanted to see if he was invincible, and someone appeared in front of him and told him that it was not good.

When this doesn't work, that doesn't work together. He shook the hand, but only learned to let go.

When he got used to all this, he suddenly realized that the world now accepted not chess but Go.

He also found that he had long since lost his "invincible" chess heart.

He spent decades trying to find the chess heart that left because this didn't work and that didn't work, but unexpectedly he not only didn't find it, but also found that the people around him who were like him had also lost their chess heart.

So where did the chess heart go?

He asked the sky, and asked the rest of his life.

But the heavens have the rest of his life and won't tell him the answer.

They just looked at him indifferently and introduced the more advanced artificial intelligence, as if they were saying that a chess player without a heart is more powerful than those of you who have a chess heart.

When the sea turns into mulberry fields, when hope is pinned on the next generation.

It doesn't seem to matter whether you have a chess heart or not.

After all, chess is no longer what it used to be.

……

"General" He finally ate the other party's single soldier in front of the general, and the excitement, joy and the sense of accomplishment that he was about to win made him smile uncontrollably. He seems to be at this step, confirming that the other party's strength is far inferior to him.

Yang Zheng listened to this general, and he laughed.

He put on another soldier and seemingly in vain replaced his horse that had broken through the "Thousand Armies", and in an instant, the whole chessboard suddenly opened up because of his "Shi".

When the sound of discussion around him overshadowed the smile that had just emerged, he suddenly found that there was a big word "heart" written on the entire chessboard.

He looked at the word "heart", and the excitement, joy, and indescribable sense of accomplishment that had finally appeared, as if he had been awakened by a basin of cold water at this moment.

Not only him, but also his other two colleagues were unexpectedly found that the two of them also had a big "heart" written on the chessboard.

The three of them looked at these three games of chess, and suddenly there was an inexplicable sadness in their hearts.

They don't seem to be getting their opponents serious all the time. They seem to have abandoned their original "heart" as chess enthusiasts and chess players all along.

When they choose to bind the rules on the board with rules other than those outside the board, they have largely lost.

"Who the hell are you?" He was desperately typing on the public screen, and the caution and calmness of the Ouchi master seemed to turn into a joke with his five words.

"Me? Just a chess enthusiast. Yang Zheng watched that the countdown to the opponent's fall was about to end, he typed out this line of small print, and also clicked the urge button casually.

That voice with an innocent and childlike urging sound, it was like a mockery in everyone's ears.

Ironically, in this "mercenary" virtual world, playing chess well seems to have become the most difficult thing to do in this world.

The value of a chess player is actually to play chess well, and playing chess well is also the best explanation for a chess player's life.

After all, humans are different from machines, and humans are different from most living things in this world.

People have "hearts", and it is precisely because of this "heart" that there are "good, evil, beautiful and ugly" and "right and wrong" in the world.

It is also because of this word "heart" that the world will have countless angles and beauty beyond itself.

This is the fourth heart character written by Yang Zheng today.

These four heart words, although they did not allow him to find his original heart and the "chess heart" that Lao Zhou expected.

But these four heart words write his original intention.

The original intention of treating chess.

……

The little fairy, who had won fifty games in a row, was defeated.

This is a big deal in this virtual world.

Because it represents a new record to be set, although there is controversy about whether the little fairy lost or lost the last three chess games.

But the vast majority of people think that "she" lost and lost to their arrogance.

But, in his heart, it was he who lost.

Because his opponent reminded him of his original intention of playing chess, the original intention of treating chess more than life.

He lit a cigarette, and two of his colleagues beside him were still reviewing the game of chess that their opponents were playing against them.

Those two colleagues were different from him, they were both professional chess players, and although they also saw the word "heart", they did not have such a deep sense of pain as him.

Because in their hearts, the second-level chess player is already the end of their career, and in their hearts, the chess heart that once loved chess and wanted to get ahead has long become worthless in front of other people's talents and their own lives.

They reviewed the game of chess, just to get the job done.

Their chess hearts, probably with the relaxed expressions on their faces, will never come back, right?
