In the past few days of competition, not only Dongdong has been reborn, but Sun Pojun, who is a marginal figure, also has a lot of feelings.

Don't look at their young age, and don't look at the fact that this is just an entry-level tournament for professional chess players, but looking at it, the future chess world is theirs after all.

I don't know when there are fewer and fewer children who are willing to learn chess and engage in chess careers, don't look at the main force of professional chess now are young heroes, but it has been a long time since I heard of the birth of young geniuses. Occasionally, there are a few so-called young geniuses, but most of them can't stand the test of time, and even many of the so-called rumored young geniuses are actually under the packaging of parents and teachers.

In recent years, there has been an endless stream of news about high-tech cheating by young chess players, and many people blame teenagers or their parents and teachers behind them, but in the final analysis, professional chess is a profession that pays more and earns less, and in this era of rapid development of science and technology, it is becoming more and more difficult for professional chess to get ahead.

Sun Pojun once asked his grandfather such a question, that is, compared with Huaxia chess, professional shogi and chess, the professional chess players of Huaxia chess are the most meager among them, and their status and prospects are the lowest among the three, but why did his grandfather want him to switch from the promising shogi to Huaxia chess, instead of to the more marketable chess?

At that time, Sun Dasheng listened to Sun Tzu's question, he didn't speak for a long time, he just looked at the scattered Chinese chess pieces on the table, and said deliciously: "Because, this is the root." ”

"Roots?" At that time, Sun Pojun didn't understand the word in this sentence, because he grew up in an island country, and most of the people he came into contact with were also peers in the island country.

At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of the root, and he didn't even want to understand what the root meant in his grandfather's mouth.

He also didn't want to understand Chinese chess, let alone give up shogi to learn Chinese chess again, although at that time, the Sun family was famous in the local area for teaching Chinese chess, and became the envy of many people. But he just can't love Chinese chess.

But his grandfather as the head of the family, he also had to finally give in to learn, since learning Chinese chess, he can be described as invincible in the island country, many old chess players who have studied for decades, are not the opponent of this young genius. But he just couldn't be happy.

He seems to have gradually begun to forget the joy of victory, and also forgot the opponents he had played against - their appearance, his numb victory, and numb definition of Chinese chess as "a simple math problem".

But since he came to Huaxia, he slowly felt that chess is not a simple math problem, he not only has addition and subtraction, but also multiplication and division, and even has many endings that he can't calculate.

After the battle with Li Sansi, he tasted defeat for the first time, and he looked at the spotlight above his head and vowed that he would not lose again. But as soon as he finished his vow, he lost to Qian Xi again, a child about his age, and this time, he didn't swear again, but looked carefully at the chessboard and counted the squares on the board.

Why did those small squares hide joys, sorrows, and sorrows that he had never seen before?

He was thinking, failing again and again, and constantly thinking about why he had failed.

Slowly, he understood a truth, that is, what the root of his grandfather's mouth was.

The root is the foundation, the origin of living things, the most easily ignored things, and the things he has never wanted to know.

Roots, perhaps, also represent infinite possibilities.

After thinking about it, he began to work hard to find his roots, where are his roots?

In China, in the island country, or on this small chessboard?

He didn't know, he only knew that as long as he continued to go down, he would definitely find his "roots".

In order to find his roots, he gave up the seemingly gorgeous opening, and went down-to-earth to put down the step-by-step layout of his sons, in order to find his roots, he gave up the complicated chess games he had learned, and only relied on instinct and computing power to play chess.

This kind of play, which is similar to giving up, is also the most dangerous move, dangerous not only to oneself, but also to the enemy.

Because no one knows what he will give up or gain next.

Dongdong has already sensed that Sun Pojun is not good, and she is facing unprecedented pressure against this opponent who is also growing rapidly in the game.

She seemed to see the red side where Sun Pojun was on the chessboard, like a well-trained cavalry with a face that could not be seen clearly.

The cavalry was all dressed in shiny armor, some of them were stained with iron, and some of them were pieced together. But this crippled, shabby looking cavalry, led by the general, launched a perfect charge against her again and again.

That kind of oppressive force and tightness made Dongdong, who had never seen such a perfect scene, feel a little more afraid for the first time, and she didn't know whether she should advance or retreat at this time.

Advancing is destined to fall into the encirclement of Sun Pojun's perfect layout, and retreating will only allow Sun Pojun to launch a faster and more ferocious charge based on the perfect start.

Minutes and seconds passed, and when the countdown came to the last five seconds, she made a choice.

She got out of the car, but her car was not aimed at the red cannon crossing the river, but placed on the upper left side of the cannon, this step was to put it bluntly, it was not an advance or a retreat, but a decent and slightly defensive step.

Sun Pojun looked at this decent and slightly defensive step, he leveled the cannon and prepared to hit the car, while Dongdong was to avoid this murderous cannon, and forcibly placed the car in the upper left corner of the red river crossing cannon.

This move is a bit intriguing, because moving from the upper left to the upper left corner looks like a small change, but the rook has a lot more room to move, and it can cooperate with Black's pawn to play a "chain reaction" similar to Sun Pojun's just now.

Moreover, Dongdong's change in hand also forcibly handed back the choice of advance and retreat back into the hands of Sun Pojun, who looked at the problem that Dongdong forcibly threw at him.

He did not hesitate to choose to catch the horse on a flat car.

This flat hand to catch the horse also means that Sun Pojun will never retreat half a point in this game of chess.

Dongdong looked at Sun Pojun, who was so tough, and she finally made up her mind.

Her next hand is a vault, she is the worst at jumping, and she is also the most criticized by her classmates and teachers in the chess club.

Yang Zheng stared at Dongdong's hand, and he suddenly smiled.

It seems that not only Sun Pojun made the final choice about advance and retreat, but Dongdong also made the choice of her life.
