What are people most afraid of when they get old?

The most feared thing is probably loneliness.

Uncle Wang once thought that he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and in his most bitter years, he thought that even if Lord Yama asked for his life, he was not afraid.

But when he reached old age, he saw that only chess was left by his side, and he was suddenly afraid.

In his long life, he came into contact with several chess masters, including many chess masters who were miserable in his later years.

He seems to regret a little, regretting that he was very successful when he was young, and he accumulated tens of millions of fortunes in half his life.

The wife who once accompanied him died early, and he regarded his children as irreplaceable treasures in life.

The many regrets he missed when he was a child, and he tried his best to make up for it in his children, the best education, the best living conditions, and the deepest love, all of which made his children the most envious in the eyes of others.

His children are also very competitive, and they were admitted to prestigious foreign universities in college, becoming the pride of heaven, and after graduation, they also got their wish to become the scientists they always dreamed of, and they also had enviable high-paying jobs abroad.

But in the same way, they are reluctant to return to China, and the last time they met Lao Wang was ten years ago.

They also have feelings for their father, and they often want to take their father abroad to live abroad.

But after Uncle Wang went abroad a few times, he found that he couldn't fit into the foreign environment at all.

Not only the language, life and eating habits, but even his favorite chess, he couldn't find a chess friend who could share the joys, sorrows, and trivial things of life together.

He doesn't like foreign countries, but his children already have a small family abroad, and he, everyone, can only be empty forever.

In fact, he didn't want to leave this small town where he had lived for decades and lived from childhood to old age.

But his daughter is about to give birth, and he, as a grandfather, has to do something.

It was probably his last game in the town, and he didn't want to leave any regrets.

……

Yang Zheng's next opponent is an amateur master who has been famous in the town for a long time, although he is an old gentleman, but his energy and chess power are extraordinary.

After a fierce battle, he was still red and tired.

He looked at Yang Zheng and took the initiative to speak, "I know you." ”

When Yang Zheng heard these simple words, he was a little embarrassed, because he was afraid of meeting his enthusiastic fans again.

But the old gentleman in front of him didn't seem to be his enthusiastic fan, but said with a little hatred: "I'm going to beat you." ”

Yang Zheng listened to these five big words, and he was also interested, because he had not been provoked for a long time, which also made him concentrate on planning to have a good game with this old gentleman.

I have to say that the old gentleman still has a few brushes, and he started with a mid-range soldier, which is quite a shadow of artificial intelligence.

But humans are not artificial intelligence after all, and the more dangerous the opening, the more harmful it is for human chess players.

Yang Zheng's way of dealing with it is also very interesting, normally speaking, when he sees the opponent walking first-hand, he often responds by starting a shot.

Especially for the back-handed chess player, the first is to close the hand straight, and the second is to pick up the opponent's chess piece for nothing.

But Yang Zheng's choice is a gentlemanly immortal to guide the way, it seems that he is unwilling to take advantage of the other party, in fact, because of the opponent's previous provocation, he chose to use a safe way to play a game that is both offensive and defensive.

And the opponent seems to have missed the original advantage of the first hand because of the start of this artificial intelligence, although his plan is good, and he plans to raise troops to confuse the opponent and then set up a medium cannon to make a change. But Yang Zheng's immortal guidance disrupted his train of thought.

After only five hands, the old gentleman's game fell to the upper hand. And Yang Zheng didn't give the old gentleman a chance to breathe, and the old gentleman's face was a little more depressed under the pressure of the pressing attack step by step.

When his mental state was tense to the extreme, Yang Zheng deliberately sold a flaw, and abandoned the horse with one hand to make the old gentleman think that he had a chance, and greedily took a step to change his son, but in the end, he made a wrong step and made a wrong step, and the originally inferior game became an irreparable decline.

After just over a dozen hands, he lost.

Although this is easy to win, Yang Zheng can also see that this does not seem to be the full strength of the old gentleman.

He seems to be in too much of a hurry, so he "gambled" from the beginning and walked out of the chess path that he was not good at, and in the end, because he was "not good at", his strength was only four or five out of ten.

This situation is also a common situation for young people in the chess world now, after all, young people in the chess world are blindly pursuing to play chess with artificial intelligence, blindly learning the ideas of artificial intelligence, and not playing their basic skills well, so that they can have a chance to play a game that could have been evenly divided.

Although Yang Zheng won, his eyes also revealed incomprehension.

After all, the old gentleman is so old and has much better experience than the young man, so it stands to reason that he should not make such a low-level mistake.

His mind kept echoing the words that the old gentleman had said before that he must defeat himself, and he began to think about why the old gentleman had to defeat himself? I don't know him, is it for fame? I seem to be a celebrity now, or is it for profit? After all, the prize money for this amateur competition is 10,000 yuan.

But he looked at the old gentleman's relieved appearance, and his mind also rejected these two ideas.

Perhaps in Yang Zheng's relatively simple heart, the old gentleman may just be because of the purest desire to win or lose in his heart.

In the last game, his opponent was still an old gentleman.

However, he seemed to have a high reputation in the local area, and when he won, many people celebrated him.

And his gaze at himself is also complicated, as if he also recognizes himself and is afraid of himself.

But he also saw that in the eyes of the old gentleman, there was not only jealousy, but also deep loneliness.

He doesn't seem to care about the blessings of the people around him, nor does he care about the result of this game, he seems to care more about things other than this game.

As for what it was, Yang Zheng didn't know, but what he knew was that his next opponent would definitely go all out to play against him.

will also play the last game of chess with himself purely in this game.
