"Throughout the ages, people have always thought that scammers take advantage of people's greed to succeed."

"As long as we don't be greedy, we won't be deceived."

Master Liu smiled and said, "Actually, it's not, the deception still takes advantage of people's competitiveness. ”

"Competitive?" Yang Zheng stared at the chessboard and thought about these three words, and his eyes were a little more clear.

"It's really competitive." Master Liu was a little melancholy, "Many endgames that have been sealed as classics to this day, they should have ended with harmony, but because of the competitiveness of later generations, harmony has become a king and a loser." ”

"The most famous in the endgame should be the Seven Stars Gathering, but people only know that the Seven Stars Gathering is difficult to break the game, but they don't know that the Seven Stars Gathering is a game-breaking chess, and it is about and."

"In 1939, Wu Huaijie, a gamer, once published more than 240 rounds of seven-son gatherings and draws in newspapers and magazines, and each game was named after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which made many people see the other side of chess for a while."

"That's chess, you can advance or retreat, and you can also draw."

"But since '00, it has become increasingly difficult to see a draw in modern chess games, and even if there is a draw, the winner will be judged by the number of remnants."

It was the first time Yang Zheng had heard such a statement, and he was also a little at a loss, not knowing why Master Liu was saying this.

But he looked at Master Liu's clear eyes, and for a moment he seemed to understand the regret hidden in his tone.

"The times are developing faster and faster, and the standard for judging a person's success is often measured by how much money he earns."

"That's not right, because a lot of people who don't make a lot of money, they're not necessarily the losers in their lives. In the same way, there are many people who can make money, and they are not successful people. ”

When Master Liu said this, he was laughing, because this sentence is not credible in the current era of rampant materialism.

Of course, this is also related to his character, he is not a serious person, nor is he a person who likes to talk big things.

It's just that Yang Zheng listened to Master Liu's words, but he was thinking about it repeatedly.

He also understands the big truth, but being able to link the big truth to the chess game is another thing worth scrutinizing.

He didn't think that deception was to take advantage of people's competitiveness, and he, like many people, believed that deception was to take advantage of people's greed and the psychology of gamblers.

Although he didn't agree with Master Liu's words, Master Liu's words also gave him a revelation and made him look at the endgame from another angle.

He played a few more endgames with Master Liu, and the final ending was also "harmony is precious" in Master Liu's mouth.

It was getting late, Yang Zheng said goodbye to Master Liu, and on the way home, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Master Liu can indeed be said to be an endgame master, but it seems to be no different from many endgame masters, if there is a difference, it is that Master Liu's understanding of the endgame is different from others.

Master Liu's understanding is not wrong, and he also has an appetite for Yang Zheng, who felt tired a few years ago in the face of the current era of heroes based on money.

This kind of exhaustion is difficult to describe, as if I know that the era I live in will get better and better, but I clearly understand that no matter how good the times are, it has nothing to do with me.

I am like a wave in the torrent of the times, desperately trying to set off a big wind and waves, but in the end I realized that I was small and could only be submerged by the times.

Failure, as well as confusion, made him often feel in the past few years that no matter how hard he worked or resisted, it was a completely meaningless struggle that could not change his life.

If I hadn't come into contact with chess at the darkest time, my life would probably have been like this.

But it was also because of his exposure to chess that he was able to show the life he wanted to show on the chessboard, and compared to the reality of the torrent, chess can be much "slower".

"Lost again!" On the way home, Yang Zheng happened to pass by a park, and a sigh with remorse interrupted his thoughts.

Curious, he stepped forward and found a young man who didn't look very old, sitting next to the public chessboard in the park, meeting the challenge of his chess friend next to him.

And in front of this young man, it is the "Danfeng Chaoyang" endgame before Master Liu, this young man obviously has some foundation, and the level of several challenging chess friends is not low, but because he is not familiar with this endgame, he finally gave up and admitted defeat.

Fortunately, this is just an ordinary "chess friend", and there is no gambling on any property, and everyone is happy.

Yang Zheng looked at the carefree young man, and his mind suddenly thought of the competitiveness that Master Liu had said before.

He smiled and shook his head habitually, as if trying to leave the word competitiveness behind.

But his seemingly "weird" action was inadvertently captured by a keen young man, and he subconsciously thought that Yang Zheng was laughing at himself.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, waved his hand, and beckoned Yang Zheng to give it a try.

Yang Zheng wanted to refuse, but he nodded and sat opposite the young man.

Yang Zheng, who had just played against Master Liu, had obviously seen that this game of Danfeng Chaoyang was a game that had been changed by magic, and the dominant side was the black side where the young man looked weak, and although the red side had a big son in the formation, because of the geographical factors, it was undoubtedly more difficult to win than to ascend to the sky.

Even if an experienced chess master comes, if you don't pay attention, you will capsize in the gutter.

But Yang Zheng didn't think of winning, but abandoned the eldest son in the next few hands and walked out of a "and" ending.

Not only are young people and chess friends speechless when they look at this ending, but Yang Zheng also has some indescribable feelings in his heart when he looks at this ending.

He seems to have been influenced by Master Liu, and he seems to understand what harmony is precious.

"One more plate." The young man was obviously a little unconvinced, he re-laid out a new plate of Danfeng Chaoyang, of course, this new plate of Danfeng Chaoyang was also modified by the master, and it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched, but the sunspot had the advantage.

But no matter how it is modified, as long as it is an endgame, there is a way to solve it.

And most of the methods of cracking are also used and solved.

Yang Zheng unsurprisingly ended with "and", and the young man wanted to set up a third set, but he raised his head and looked at Yang Zheng's eyes, and he actually took the initiative to give up.

Because at this time, Yang Zheng only had Qingming in his eyes, and that Qingming seemed to be confident, and it seemed to know everything.

This kind of look also made the young man understand that he had kicked the iron plate, so he took the initiative to propose to let Yang Zheng put on a chess game and let him challenge.

Yang Zheng looked at the timid young man, but he didn't refuse.

He put out the same lantern viewing fifteen as Master Liu.

Looking at the young man's puzzled eyes, he suddenly said: "Endgame, you must value harmony, if you don't have the heart to value harmony, then you can't play the endgame." ”
