Lao Zhang met the Nanshan Chess King again in the second round, but the experienced Nanshan Chess King did not give Lao Zhang any chance like the first time, and Lao Zhang finally lost in the second round.

But Lao Zhang didn't have much sadness on his face, and he was very satisfied, because he found that he had actually won a lot of people.

It may sound like a comforting word, but in fact, it is a truth.

People have to learn to be content, there are always too many desires in a life that is not satisfied, if people fall into confusion and sadness because of that endless desire, then they will definitely miss all the beauty that he can experience in life.

Lao Zhang took his consolation medal and got on the return train.

The 142nd place in the Shijiazhuang chess competition, this result has also become the capital that Lao Zhang bragged about for a long time after returning to Beijing.

Thin Monkey and Lao Li didn't pass the first round, they looked at Lao Zhang's medal, and their eyes were full of envy.

On the one hand, they were kind enough to "squeeze" Lao Zhang just to take advantage of a region, and on the other hand, they boasted in the park that their old friends who played chess were the top 200 in the Shijiazhuang competition.

Perhaps, this is the friendship in the park of happiness, everyone is equal, ordinary, and bland.

They will also be envious like ordinary people, but they will never be jealous, they will be more excited and happy about the achievements of their friends, but in the same way, they will also regard the achievements of their friends as their own goals.

Although the Muzi Cup is not a formal competition, it also brings them a slim hope, and they know that their chess strength is limited, but they dare to try.

Trying, sometimes is also a kind of happiness full of hope.

Because walking under your feet, a life full of satisfaction is a life that many people have always hoped for.

Except for Yang Zheng, Happiness Park was almost wiped out.

But they did not have the "decadence" of the loser, but were full of passion to prepare Yang Zheng, the "only seedling in Happiness Park", to cheer on the scene.

Aji looked at this group of elderly men, he couldn't help but feel that the reason why Huaxia can be called a big chess country, in addition to the top masters in the country is indeed more than other countries, more are the men in this country, optimistic and full of hope, they all seem to have strong resilience, they will not be defeated by difficulties and failures, but those difficulties and failures that many people are afraid of, but have become the most valuable wealth of these men.

……

Yang Zheng's luck in the past two days can be regarded as good, not only did he not meet any masters, but he also won all ten games in two days. But he also knows that today's game will definitely not be easy.

Shangjing is a big city, and the amateur masters in it can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, according to the fat man who participated in the competition together, the amateur chess players who were promoted this time can have the "street monster old man" who is known as the undefeated for ten years and the "King of Cars" who are very famous in Shangjing.

These two chess masters Yang Zheng have also heard of it, and on self-media and short video platforms, these two can be described as a hot mess.

And according to the fat man, in addition to these two masters, almost half of the 100 players who advanced today are famous players in short videos and chess every day.

The fat man said while sighing that he shouldn't have signed up for the Beijing Division, the fat man was the parent of the student Yang Zheng met before, the same age as Yang Zheng, and he was also doing programmer work.

However, he is in his thirties, and he has also relied on his ability and sophistication to get into the management in a large factory, and his income is also worthy of the envy of many people.

Although this "play and see" attitude was said by him personally, Yang Zheng also saw from his attitude towards the game that this fat man actually values the title of professional chess player.

While memorizing the masters who needed attention from the fat man, Yang Zheng walked to the computer and conducted a group lottery according to the instructions of the staff.

He and the fat man were divided into group A and group E respectively, and while the two thought that they were lucky, an old man with silver hair who looked seventy or eighty years old, with his back on his back and surrounded by everyone, spread out the lottery number plate in his hand.

"Group A, Group A."

Listening to the exclamations of many players around him, Yang Zheng also subconsciously looked at the old man, who was wearing a clean Zhongshan suit, his eyes were focused, and his fingers were calloused like dry pine.

"It seems that your luck is not good, blame the old man for being in a group with you." The fat man's tone did not have any schadenfreude, he glanced at the strange old man's indifferent appearance and whispered to Yang Zheng: "him." ”

The simple two words made Yang Zheng's mood suddenly brighten.

He knew that the fat man didn't know his real chess strength, but even if he didn't know that he could still cheer himself up with humor, he felt that the fat man was not bad for a while.

There was still an hour before the start of the game, and Yang Zheng took out his mobile phone and swiped a short video of the strange old man.

Yang Zheng had been in contact with fake chess Internet celebrities like Qin Xiaolian a long time ago, so as soon as he heard the legend that the strange old man was undefeated for ten years, he actually had a questioning attitude towards the strange old man's chess ability.

But the more he flipped through the short video of the strange old man, the more solemn the expression on his face became.

The strange old man still has strength, not only because each game of his game will have a unique explanation of his subjective awareness, but he will also teach the audience some small routines that he finds practical after each win.

Let's not talk about whether the practical little routines he thinks are practical or not, just from his highly subjective explanation, it can be seen that the strange old man is by no means a wasteful person, and his overall view and local details are far better than many professional chess players.

Not only that, but among the three works on the top of the strange old man, two of the works are the backhand to let the son start the game, the original disadvantage of letting the back hand, in the details of the strange old man's midgame, slowly turned into an advantage, this kind of thinking and layout, but also opened up a new way of thinking and a new direction for Yang Zheng to look at the chess game.

However, the strange old man is not invincible to himself.

If the short video in it is the style and changes of the strange old man who has been playing chess, then the strange old man has an extremely fatal flaw.

That is, the use of his double horses is not smooth, the fluency of the two horses, in fact, can also see more of the level of a chess player's computing power, just like Dongdong, although there is a famous teacher's guidance, as well as his own comprehension of the back hand soldiers and other stunts, but the low computing power also makes her dare not use the horse for a long time, and in the end she can only miss the championship.

Computing power, as a necessary criterion in the basic quality assessment of professional chess players, will also be vividly reflected in the back game.

But Yang Zheng also suspects that this strange old man's computing power should not be as low as in the chess video, perhaps, he is also hiding his clumsiness.
