06 Flying elephant clouds rise and fall in Kyushu
Dongdong's luck today was not too good, and her first assessment was randomly assigned to the backhand Black.
And Jasmine, who was sitting across from her, looked at the first hand, the opponent.
She only felt that God had finally favored her once.
But as a professional and experienced chess player, she did not let her guard down because of this good fortune.
With the ringing of the game bell, Jasmine's first hand was actually a flying start.
Dongdong stared at his vigilant opponent and the moment of silence in front of him because of the flying phase.
Her mind went blank, and all that was left in her ears was an inexplicable buzz.
The shared time limit for each match is one hour.
Each player can have up to five minutes to think about each move, and if the player has not made a move after five minutes, the opponent will win the game.
Five minutes is a long time for many non-professional players, and an hour-long game is incredibly long.
But for these adults and children who aspire to become professional chess players in one go, whether it is five minutes or an hour, it is not enough to show the pain they have put into learning chess over the years.
Dongdong is obviously because of her lack of experience and nervousness, and she has not been left behind for a long time.
On the other hand, Jasmine on the other side seems to be very accustomed to this slow-paced game.
After all, in the five years that she has been lost, she has been admitted to professional chess players one after another in the same period around her. It's just her, and in the end she's still white. Although she is old and has been learning chess for a long time, she is respected by the new chess students as the master sister. But this senior sister still lives up to her name after all.
She will probably never forget the disappointed eyes of her parents and teachers after she failed to become a professional chess player for the fourth time. She will probably never forget the gloating and sympathetic eyes in the chess club after her four consecutive defeats in her professional exams.
She can't forget that when she decided to give up traditional chess and switch to chess to find a way out, a cleaning master who had swept the ground in the chess club all her life told her that she wanted her to persevere.
The cleaner had never spoken to her before, but he watched her fall and get up, and he watched her grow up. He also told her that this life is actually very short, so short that a person can only do one thing well in a lifetime.
He also gave her a little poem of his own making, which was:
"Flying elephants rise and fall in Kyushu, and the immortals show the way and don't look back.
Go to the end of the mountain and water, and sit and watch the wind take off! ”
This little poem inexplicably gave Jasmine the strength to persevere.
And the cleaning uncle, although he never taught her to play a game of chess, but with a poem, a sentence and an encouraging look, he was regarded by her as a teacher.
Jasmine has been preparing for another year.
It was also the hardest year she had ever had.
Because she is about to enter the third year of high school, if she can't become a professional chess player this year, it will be difficult for her to be admitted to university with her current grades.
If she can become a professional chess player this year, there may be a glimmer of hope for her future.
Her parents knew the future better than she did, and they wanted her to give up chess to study hard. Or turn to chess to find a brighter way to get a better point.
But for the first time, she contradicted her parents, saying that she could only do one thing well in her life.
That's playing traditional chess.
If she can't even play traditional chess well, no matter what she does, she won't meet the expectations of her parents and herself.
There will not be a bright future.
Her parents couldn't screw her, so they agreed to give her one last chance.
This is her last chance.
She stared at the Chu River Han Street on the screen, looking at the chess pieces that accompanied her day and night, her heart was extremely calm, and now she was probably the pinnacle of her state since she learned chess.
She even felt that in this state, even if there was a chess master sitting opposite, she would have the courage to fight him!
Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and Dongdong hurriedly walked out of the immortal to guide the way at the last second.
She has decided that she wants to use a chess nerd to teach her how to hide and kill.
She also seems to only remember the way of the chess nerd to hide and kill now. As for Yang Zheng's teaching, her "way of addition and subtraction" seems to have been completely forgotten by her at this moment.
After calmly setting up the Zhonggong cannon on the opposite side, Dongdong casually made up a side horse, and then focused all his attention on the pawn who "guided the way by the immortals".
……
"It's a shame." In the office on the top floor, several professional chess players looked at the first chess student who lost the game, and their tones were full of regret.
After all, the reason why the first player lost the game was that he didn't know how to use a tablet, he got stuck on face authentication and player authentication, and finally timed out for five minutes and was ruthlessly awarded by the referee.
This way of losing chess is not only unacceptable to the little chess player, but even his opponent intercedes for him. But the referee told coldly: "Do you know why we want you to enter the field forty minutes early?" It's nothing more than trying to get you familiar with the use of the tablet in 40 minutes, but you don't master the use of the tablet in 40 minutes, but you keep in a daze during these 40 minutes. How qualifies a chess player like you, who doesn't know how to be flexible, who can't be flexible, or even too lazy to be flexible, to become a professional chess player? ”
The little chess player just wanted to refute, but looked at a few other young chess players like him who were ruthlessly eliminated because they were not familiar with the operation of the tablet.
He suddenly lost his courage and didn't know what to say.
He could only walk out of the examination room wordlessly with the eliminated little chess players.
As they were about to leave, the referee looked coldly at the wordless "losers" and sighed again.
"Compared to what I just said, if you want to become a professional chess player, the most important thing is actually to fight."
"Playing chess is a competitive sport. How can a chess player play well if he doesn't even have the most basic courage to fight? ”
As soon as the referee's words fell, an older loser in front of him suddenly stopped.
He turned his head to look at the referee, and he said with a smirk: "Do you think we have the courage to fight?" ”
The referee looked at the loser, his eyes unsure of why he had been resting on the loser's white-washed clothes. He also wanted to say something while he continued.
This "loser" suddenly said: "For those of us who are helpless, have no teacher and no chess club, we can only afford to lose and we can't afford to lose. ”
"I... Do we really dare to fight? ”
"I... Can we really not afford to lose? ”
