19 Enlightenment
Yang Zheng's originally tense mood suddenly became enlightened for some reason because of Lao Zhang's sudden episode in the afternoon.
He understands the difficulties of ordinary people in the world, and he also knows that his life with Lao Zhang, probably like most people, although there are turbulences, they will soon return to the peace of the past.
In life, everyone has different expectations, some people want their lives to be different, and some people want their lives to be ordinary forever.
But no matter how much you look forward to it, accidents in life will always appear quietly, whether good or bad, or expectant, or disappointed, most of the situations are uncontrollable.
However, people can turn all kinds of accidents in life into memorable years because of their different choices, different attitudes, and different decisions.
Can temporary success or failure really determine the trajectory of a person's life?
Life, in fact, is still very long.
……
Lao Zhang also had two days of happiness park, and Wang also signed up to participate in the Muzi Cup.
In their eyes, the Muzi Cup is an expectation, whether they win or lose, they can't change their reality.
They love their current life and what they are doing, and they will most likely continue to do their job regardless of success or failure.
It's just that they have high expectations for Yang Zheng.
This year's contact also made them regard Yang Zheng as their good friend, and unlike them, middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, Yang Zheng, who has just turned thirty, is not only young, but also has a brighter future.
They are also stupid and cute, in the days when the game is approaching, they take the initiative to invite Yang Zheng to play chess in the park, they don't understand professional players and semi-professional players, they are more trained with artificial intelligence to improve their chess power, living in the last century, they only know that chess is by no means cold, what he needs more is temperature.
They poured out their hearts and lungs to teach Yang Zheng their "lifelong learning" without reservation.
Lao Zhang's "small steel cannon" opening, Thin Monkey's "first hand" routine, and Lao Li's "back hand" defense, these were originally nondescript blind starts in the eyes of professional chess players. But in Yang Zheng's eyes, these are the most valuable assets.
These old chess players who have played chess for decades, although their chess strength is not very high, they all have wild imagination.
In their eyes, chess is no longer a simple catch-and-fight, but a game of beautiful memories throughout their lives.
Yang Zheng listened carefully to their suggestions, and at the same time carefully integrated their imagination.
This is also in the eyes of Aji on the side, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly a simple waste of time and energy.
Professional chess players have very few options to choose from, but without exception, they can win the easiest and quickest every time they start.
On the other hand, these amateur chess players, their imagination is indeed good, but their imagination also brings about the drawbacks of lengthening the game and missing the first move, which is ultimately a small routine that is difficult to get into the elegant hall.
It's just that he didn't say it to his face, first, he had played a few games of chess with Yang Zheng, knew how high Yang Zheng's chess strength was, and also knew that he had judgment beyond ordinary chess players, and I believe that he would not choose to believe these stinky chess baskets so stupidly. The second is that he doesn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the other three heavenly kings, in his eyes, although these elders are not high in chess, they take good care of him after all.
He took out his mobile phone boredly, opened the same professional chess software as Pengfei, and chose to play against artificial intelligence.
He also unconsciously "follows the local customs", and he also loves to play chess with artificial intelligence more and more.
He felt that his chess skills had improved rapidly, and he had also participated in some professional and semi-professional competitions in the past six months, and had achieved good results.
The techniques that Uncle Li once taught him slowly became vulnerable in the face of artificial intelligence, which also made him sometimes have serious self-doubt.
He didn't seem to understand what chess was.
Is it the "chariot and horse artillery" in the yellow earth? Or is it a life opportunity that can change your life against the sky?
The huge confusion can only allow him to continue to practice chess happily and happily.
He was also unconsciously, as if he was on a path he had never thought of.
Although he didn't say anything, he looked at Yang Zheng, who was surrounded by the crowd, and there was a rare envy in his eyes.
Then he lowered his head a little lonely.
I have to say that Lao Zhang's thinking also opened a new door for Yang Zheng.
It has to be said that Xiangqi pays more attention to the layout of the opening game than Go, and even a good opening can directly determine the final trend of the game.
A bizarre start, although it is not worth mentioning compared to the win rate of the first shot.
However, it can be very effective in confusing opponents, especially in the face of a master, an unexpected opening can cause the opponent to spend a lot of time thinking about why it is the way it started, which can lead to a bias in the opponent's judgment.
Although this may sound like a sideshow, the competition between masters is not only strength, but sometimes judgment and decision-making are enough to affect the final victory.
Yang Zheng synthesized their ideas while rehearsing rhythmically on the chessboard.
"How could there be such an opening!" The thin monkey with the highest chess strength played a game of chess with Yang Zheng, who was pondering the opening, under the push of everyone.
Looking at Yang Zheng's strange start, the thin monkey was a little disapproving, and was still applying his familiar "first horse", but after more than a dozen hands, the expression on the thin monkey's face became more and more solemn, until the end, the thin monkey let out an exclamation like that just now.
Aji raised his head slightly, and looked over with some disapproval, while looking at the chessboard where Yang Zheng had only lost five or six chess pieces, and listening to Lao Li describe Yang Zheng's chess move just now.
His face slowly turned from disapproving to incredulous.
He suddenly remembered that when he was in his hometown, a local chess master once told him such a story.
The chess master of South Vietnam once traveled to many places in China in the form of study tours, and he has played against countless masters.
Of course, among these masters, there is one that impresses him the most, that person is known as the "chess monster" in the local area, and is an amateur chess player who is a wild road.
While the amateur may not be as impressive as many pros, he is definitely the toughest opponent he's ever faced.
According to the chess master's recollection, the chess monster was the only genius who could make up for the gap in chess strength by opening the game.
And his start is the first of the top ten unpopular starts in China that few people know - the start of the double slider!
