"Do you know what the essential difference is between a professional and an amateur chess player?" Although Peng Fei won Yang Zheng with the rules, he did not have the slightest expression on his face that a winner should have. He picked up the black player on his side very plainly, and asked himself: "In fact, the essential difference between professional chess players and amateur chess players is two words, responsibility. ”

"Responsibility?"

"Yes, it's responsibility." Peng Fei put down the black player, he pointed to the large blank chess grid on the chessboard and said lonely: "When a person becomes a professional chess player, he must have the responsibility to fill the gap on the chess board. ”

"Especially in this day and age, when chess is recognized as a pastime. Professional chess players have to fill in the blanks. ”

Yang Zheng probably understood Peng Fei's words, but he also didn't understand what Peng Fei said about filling and filling the blank squares on the chessboard, because chess has always been about "subtraction".

Although it is somewhat inappropriate to use subtraction to describe Chinese chess, in fact, chess has been subtracting for so many years, not to mention the victory or defeat on the chessboard, it is necessary to "subtract" the chess pieces that stand in the way on the opponent's chessboard.

Until now, Chinese chess has long "reduced" its dignity, "reduced" the fig leaf of national quintessence, "reduced" its withdrawal from the world's top ten chess, and reduced it to the appearance that countless Chinese people look down upon.

But even so, there are still many people who are willing to dedicate their lives to chess. Obviously, Peng Fei is such a person, otherwise how could he take the initiative to find Yang Zheng today and start with this "residual chess"?

"Since you said that professional chess players should fill in the gaps on the board. Then tell me, how to fill up? And what are you looking for me for today? Is that just trying to tell me the rules on the board? ”

"No, I'll answer your first question first, if a professional chess player wants to fill the blanks on the board, he must learn to be conservative and innovative." Peng Fei picked up Yang Zheng's "lost" red handsome and said, "I think you should know President Wang Buregret, right?" ”

"Yes, he's a respectable man!"

"Yes, he is worthy of respect. Twenty years ago, after Huaxia Chess lost to the chess software researched by scientists in the United States, Huaxia Chess almost lost its absolute credibility in China, and there are even a few scientists who look down on Xiangqi at all, holding a million bounty to satirize Xiangqi is too simple. At that time, the Chinese chess world was full of wailing, and almost no one dared to challenge the artificial intelligence that was like a god in their eyes. ”

At this time, President Wang Buregret, who had been retired for a long time, took the initiative to stand up and invited the head of Quan'an, who had returned to the Hidden Daomen, to challenge artificial intelligence. Under the superb chess skills of Quan'an Daochang, the face of Huaxia chess was finally saved. Not only that, President Wang Buregret also used his own connections to sponsor competitions, contact surrounding countries, and develop chess abroad. Even with the advent of the Internet era, he seized the opportunity to start a live broadcast of chess on the Internet. Of course, he also allowed the emergence of countless chess fake Internet celebrities. Because he felt that even if it was fake, it could fill the gap on the board. In the past 20 years, chess has finally been saved by him. ”

Of course, he didn't just use this method to keep Xiangqi, he also added hundreds of chess rules. It's like just a change and transformation. The reason for adding these rules is nothing more than an attempt to make chess a more complex and ornamental game like Go, shogi, and chess. I have to say that President Wang has good intentions. ”

"But President Wang still did it wrong." Yang Zheng looked at the red handsome who was taken away by Peng Fei on this chessboard, and he muttered: "The essence of chess should not be addition and subtraction." ”

"yes." Peng Fei suddenly laughed: "Not only that, if you want to fill the blank on the chessboard, you don't need to do the so-called addition and subtraction at all." ”

"As long as we professional chess players are willing to make chess pieces on the chessboard, then chess will reappear in front of the world with a new look, by the way, I have heard that you and Li Sansi played chess."

"Well, he's a master." Yang Zheng thought of Li Sansi, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, maybe winning Li Sansi was a kind of irony for Li Sansi to insist on "miscellaneous chess" for so long.

"He's a master, but he's also a pathetic. Because for him, he has studied Shenlu chess for half his life, and in the end, it can't give him a stable life. However, the simple Chinese chess that he once looked down on gave him a life that was so rich that people could envy it. Peng Fei said wistfully: "Although Shenlu Chess has twelve more chess pieces than Huaxia Chess, it is several times more difficult than Huaxia Chess in terms of complexity. But such a complicated Shenlu chess has now been reduced to no one's attention. ”

"Complicated doesn't mean good. That's why I'm looking for you. ”

"Today, we have a new rule within the Chess Association. That's for those of us who are offline to go online. This is probably to give a new hope to countless frustrated players. Peng Fei remembered what the ghost hand had said to him, hoping that he would be the leader of the next generation of Chinese chess, and the corners of his mouth were a little more sarcastic.

"Although I seem to be obsessed with the chessboard and don't understand the world, because I lost to players from other countries when I was young, on the contrary, I have experienced the ups and downs of life. Therefore, I know that if all chess players are moved from offline to online, it is bound to sacrifice the interests of many professional chess players who stick to the old ways. ”

"Especially for older players, although their minds may not be slower than those of young people, their ability to accept new things is far less than that of young people. In addition, from offline to online, they have to pay, and the time cost they value the most, is also something that other young chess players cannot afford. Therefore, their games outside the chessboard are far more intense than the games on the chessboard. ”

"Although I am willing to be a chess piece in the historical years of Chinese chess, I am not willing to be a chess piece outside the chessboard."

"So, I want to work with you. To be the chess leader of our generation. ”

"Oh? Why did you fall in love with me and work with me? I'm just an amateur chess player, and I don't even know the new rules of chess. Yang Zheng looked at the rare sharpness in Peng Fei's eyes, and he asked the last question in his heart.

"Because, you have something in you that I will hardly have in my life."

"What's that?"

"The love of the 'vulgar' object chess!"
