44 Dingjiangshan

The little old man used the word play, which is enough to see that he doesn't attach too much importance to this game.

First, because he is already 70 years old, even if he becomes a professional chess player, how many more years can he compete in the professional arena? The second is that he has dealt with machinery all his life, and his life will not be detached from the mechanical label printed on his body because of a few more games of chess.

A person's life is actually very short, so short that a label can describe his life in a word, either flat or tortuous.

He also knew that his life was almost over.

That's why he is so indifferent to fame and fortune, but indifference is not dispensable.

Facing a young chess player like Yang Zheng who dares to think about it, he rarely raised his interest.

Endgame is a method that tests the basic skills extremely well.

In some endgames, there are only four or five chess pieces on the board, but you have to play twenty or thirty moves accurately to decide the outcome of the game.

The endgame is not necessarily the side with the advantage of sub-strength must win, and many endgames are often all inconspicuous pawns.

The endgame that the little old man is going to go is called "Dingjiangshan", and this ancient endgame is now rarely known, but most people have heard of its simplified "single horse capture king".

The biggest feature of this endgame is to test the chess player's control over the horse chess piece, and because you want to crack this endgame, the horse chess piece must be at least accurately walked up to about ten hands. (The defender is at the level of an ordinary chess amateur.) )

Ding Jiangshan is obviously more challenging than a single horse to capture the king, its horse not only has to walk up and down ten hands under the strong defense of the opposite side, but he also has to cooperate with his own two pawns to completely kill the opposite general.

This set requires at least 20 moves, and for a game of chess, which averages 30 or 40 moves back and forth in a whole game, these 20 moves not only test the accuracy of the chess player, but also test the physical strength and concentration of the chess player, which is a thankless basic exercise.

Dingjiangshan has also been eliminated by history because of the cumbersome steps and great difficulty, and now basically not many people know about it.

Yang Zheng has always thought that the little old man wants to play a single endgame, no matter how complicated it is, it is a twin endgame, so his attack began to protect his eldest son, and he planned to delay until the end by changing the boy.

Unexpectedly, because of his prediction error, he happened to fall into the trap carefully designed by the little old man.

Although on the surface, it seems that the little old man is struggling to support it.

But Yang Zheng became more and more depressed.

He landed much slower than at the beginning, and his heart was alarmed, and he even began to wonder if he had made a mistake in his decision, and he actually challenged the endgame like a seasoned old man.

But the current situation can no longer tolerate his regrets, so he can only continue to walk step by step.

"Dingjiangshan?" Lao Zhou looked at the current situation, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

He also knew that Dingjiangshan was a top-secret endgame that had not been recorded in the public chess game, and he also knew that Dingjiangshan was the favorite endgame of many old chess players during the Republic of China.

Because this kind of endgame is based on the strength of the defender, it is theoretically an unsolvable layout that infinitely lengthens the time of the endgame.

He immediately thought that Yang Zheng had laid out the endgame of Dingjiangshan, because the opponent had lost his horse and pawn, and he could no longer arrange the most critical "continuous vaulting horse" in the Dingjiangshan chess game.

But looking at the little old man's immobile duplex and the gun car blocking the way, he also realized that in the end, it was actually this little old man who was laying out.

This is also the most clever thing about the little old man's game of chess, although he has the spirit of not accepting the old, and the physique that does not lose to the young people. But getting old is always getting old, especially in chess opponents, it is often not mental and physical strength that determines the outcome of the game, but the state of mind.

The longer the chess game, the more the psychological quality of the chess player is tested.

In today's professional chess competition, even the top chess master cannot guarantee that he will be able to play every game of chess in his life to the point where he will completely check his opponent.

In this increasingly fast-paced society, playing a whole game of chess that is bound to lose is also ridiculously hailed as a waste of each other's time.

In addition to the reason why Dingjiangshan is cumbersome and difficult to be eliminated by the times, he also has a ridiculous reason, that is, it is too wasteful of time.

Because in the time of the Republic of China, someone used Dingjiangshan's endgame to show off his skills, and as a result, he met a stunned young man, and the two sides played a total of 107 hands, which is almost comparable to the level of Go.

Yang Zheng looked at the double phase opposite, and he also understood why he felt uneasy in his heart.

The seemingly stupid behavior on the other side is actually protecting the chess piece.

It is also a little embarrassing to say that the strength of this chess piece is that he cannot cross the river and walk the field, and is generally regarded as a defensive chess piece.

However, the two-phase cooperation can also be used in addition to defense, and out of a rather dexterous mutual attack and defense cooperation.

Although he has a nimble horse and two rampaging cars on his side, if he wants to be a general, the horse must also cross the river to have a deterrent effect.

Theoretically, it is more rational to use a horse that has not yet crossed the river to break through the opposing duplex defense, but in reality, the horse, as the most flexible piece in chess, is the most crucial piece in the endgame.

He hesitated for a while, in order to build the endgame he had set before, he crossed the river in two cars and cooperated with each other, and even changed the three sons of the opposite car and gun, from the perspective of the overall situation and decision-making, Yang Zheng's wave can be regarded as decisive.

But Lao Zhou in the audience sighed.

Because Yang Zheng changed these three sons, he also completely fell into the trap of the little old man's "Dingjiangshan".

For Yang Zheng, who has never been exposed to such a complex endgame, this also means that he is about to start a long and boring chess game.

"May you have the patience to go on." The little old man's evaluation of Yang Zheng was not bad, looking at Yang Zheng, who thought he had succeeded, his heart was rarely filled with a feeling called loneliness.

In his seventy years of life, he has met many opponents, professional and non-professional, but most of these opponents do not have the patience to break the game.

There was even a young professional chess player who played against him who said that if it weren't for the short and simple process of chess, he would have chosen Go a long time ago.

The reason why he chose chess is because it is easy to play and can make money.

He also said that professional chess players are just a bunch of losers who can't play Go.

Just the three words of this loser made the little old man feel uncomfortable inexplicably, and he also used the endgame of Dingjiangshan for the first time, allowing him to experience a long game comparable to Go.

He only held on for twenty hands before giving up.

After that, the little old man's record was only thirty hands.

And the little old man also let go of his obsession with chess in these long years.

If he can see the young man who persists, it is estimated that he will never appear!
