It took Yang Zheng a month to make Dongdong forget the "hidden" way taught to her by the chess nerd. But it took Dongdong another three minutes to decide on the ring to use the "hidden" way that she should have forgotten.

People seem to be like this, and when faced with a confused future and seemingly invincible enemies, their brains are often like her, clinging to the ethereal straw that is regarded as a life-saving straw.

It's ethereal, indeed.

The chess nerds taught Dongdong the way of chess, which was the old era, the idea of "the ancients were stubborn". In this era of informatization, the Internet is full of various chess games and explanations by famous experts.

No matter how subtle the ideas of the ancients are, they have been studied thoroughly by today's people.

The intercommunication of chess games and chess roads, and the emergence of the chess club of the chess academy, have long made the chess of the family no longer glorious in the past.

The birth of artificial intelligence and the progress of chess algorithms have caused countless chess families to die out.

And who of the surviving chess families has not climbed to the highest peak step by step on the shoulders of the ancients?

Yang Zheng has long seen the flaws in this way of hiding and killing, so he will make Dongdong forget the chess nerd's chess, and use the simplest addition and subtraction method in the world to let Dongdong embark on a new avenue again.

It's a pity that addition and subtraction, the most basic and unpretentious algorithm and truth in the school, in life, and in the world, is ignored even by many adults.

What's more, it's Dongdong, a little bean ding.

She watched her long-hidden pawn fall off the screen, and her heart suddenly chuckled.

She seems to have lost a lifeline, and it seems that she has lost the whole game. Finally, it was her turn to take the next hand, she looked at the countdown on the screen with a wooden voice, her hand lifted and lowered.

She didn't know what path she should take next.

……

It seems that all mothers in the world are grateful and have a good impression of those who praise their children.

"Then I'm relieved, because my daughter works harder than anyone else." Jasmine's mother smiled, she looked at the silent assessment room, she probably thought that when the assessment was over, her daughter would bring her the best news in five years.

"By the way, how is your child?" Jasmine's mother spoke suddenly after a long time.

Her face was slightly red, because at this moment, she also suddenly thought that the person she had just talked to for a long time was probably also the parent of a certain child.

Yang Zheng listened to Jasmine's mother's question, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Obviously, I haven't even talked much about love, why did I suddenly become a parent.

But when he thought about his students, he was relieved, because for every teacher, aren't his students just half of his own children?

He thought for a moment and replied, "Although she is not smart, she is not a talented chess player. But she also works hard, and more importantly, she knows addition and subtraction. ”

"Addition and subtraction?" The first time Jasmine's mother heard the use of three words to describe the strength of a chess player, she asked with some curiosity: "What is addition and subtraction?" ”

"Addition and subtraction are actually arithmetic problems in life. People like us are actually doing addition and subtraction from birth to death. ”

"Our addition and subtraction can be said to be age, or it can be said to be the gain or loss of life. Whereas the rules of addition and subtraction are different for chess players. ”

"Because there is a difference in talent, wisdom, and ability between chess players, and each chess player will also divide the ranks in the small circle of chess because of this difference in talent, wisdom, and ability. And addition is the only way for every player to break through ranks and ranks. ”

"There are people with great talent who can add five points to their player's life with one effort, while those with poor talent can only add one or two points at a time. But there is no limit to effort in the world of chess, and as long as you work hard enough, you may not lose to a player who works hard once and adds five points. ”

"As for subtraction, it's for the sake of effort, and minus the ineffective time, the heavy chessboard movements, and the impetuousness that a chess player shouldn't have."

"When you understand the rules of addition and subtraction, every chess player will have an infinite future."

"However, hard work may not be able to catch up with those geniuses." Jasmine's mother listened to Yang Zheng's ingenious words, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she suddenly felt that the "parent" in front of her was a little naïve and naïve.

After all, over the years, most of the values she has come into contact with, heard, and realized are people with good talents, and they often work harder than people with bad talents.

If it is really calculated according to the addition and subtraction in the man's mouth and the values she identifies, the final result is nothing more than a chess player with bad talent, and maybe he will not be able to catch up with those talented geniuses in this life.

"How do you know if you don't try?" The man in front of her, whom she regarded as innocent, smiled and said, "Hard work is the easiest addition in the world." ”

……

At the last second, Dongdong made a choice.

She propped up the black elephant with all her strength and decided to start over.

With her hand, Jasmine on the other side was a little happy and a little surprised.

Fortunately, she inadvertently cracked the long-hidden killing chess on the opposite side, and defeated the shadow that she had been overwhelmed by the "family chess" for four years.

Surprisingly, the girl on the other side, who should be a "family", is ruthless enough. Unexpectedly, after she cracked the Tibetan chess, she resolutely started over.

This kind of ruthlessness is more about the courage of a strong man to break his wrist and the calculation beyond her real age.

She couldn't help but glance at the number plate on Dongdong's chest again.

"Huajia Chess Club, Wang Dong, twelve years old."

Looking at this enviable age, there is also the thunderous reputation of the Huajia Chess Club.

Jasmine's next move actually gave up the big advantage at her fingertips, and instead cautiously stepped out of the defensive momentum.

This kind of defensive posture does not mean that she is afraid of the four words of Huajia Chess Club, nor does it mean that she deliberately raised her hand because of the courage and ruthlessness on the other side.

It's because Jasmine is starting to get serious.

In the past four years, she has actually been doing addition and subtraction.

Since losing to those four geniuses, Jasmine has gradually discovered that she has a big problem on the chessboard.

That's her chess game.

She doesn't have the supernatural and elusive routine of "Family Chess". Second, she doesn't have the rich experience of famous experts to carefully guide and point out flaws, all she has is the ridicule that her classmates in the chess club don't understand, and the silent support of her mother's mentor behind her.

She also knows that if she wants to win the final victory on the chessboard, she not only needs to crack it, but also needs to play steadily after cracking it, and walk the chess pieces step by step.

Dongdong looked at Jasmine's steadiness, and she roughly understood that she had probably lost this game of chess.

Just as she was about to click the surrender button on the side, a figure popped into her mind.

That figure was her father, the simple middle-aged man, who never gave up anything, and he often taught Dongdong not to give up until the last moment.

Although he is not highly educated, he has not read much.

Although he has no hope of living in reality, he has lived for more than 30 years, but he told his favorite daughter the best and the only one who knows the truth.

Lose, what's wrong?

What if you can afford to lose, but what if you can't afford to lose?

As long as the chessboard doesn't come to the end, why give up?

Life is not only about addition and subtraction, but also about multiplication and division.

There are also countless mathematical symbols.

And the world composed of these symbols is the real world in which Dongdong is located.

Addition and subtraction are the foundation, but again, not giving up is even more fundamental.

People must have hopes, but also dreams.

She seemed to think of her dreams at this moment, the original intention of her dreams, and Teacher Yang Zheng who had been helping her and silently supporting her.

She seems to understand the meaning of addition again, the so-called addition is more about persistence and not giving up in a desperate situation.

She slowly jumped onto the horse, trembling inadvertently.

"Before the game is over, who can say that I lost?"
