Xie Zhongzhong didn't know that the opponent he had just won was Wang Laowei, one of the eight monsters in Shangjing, and he didn't know that his match with Wang Laowei today would spread all over the Internet overnight, becoming one of the top ten best games in this year's amateur competition.

All he knew was that tomorrow and the next day, he would be able to go home and farm.

He began to miss the wheat at home.

On the way home, the friends who participated in the competition together were a little regretful. They said that if they could play at their usual level, even if it was only half of it, they would not lose as much as they did today.

Xie Zhongzhong listened to his friend's complaints, he smiled, he has lived for half his life, and he knows that there are not so many ifs in life, losing is losing, and winning is winning.

He also knows very well that his friends should also understand this truth, they are also like himself, they have lived for half their lives, and there are always more regrets in life than fun.

He habitually comforted his friends, and used the topic of wheat ripening to skillfully erase the loss between each other, so that the whole subway car had a little more vitality and hope.

Xie Zhongzhong came home around seven o'clock in the evening, and his wife had prepared a meal early.

Maybe it's because he knows that Xie Zhongzhong has just finished participating in the competition, so tonight's meal is a little more hearty than before.

Usually let Xie Zhongzhong eat less lo-mei, and his wife also bought it for about 30 yuan.

She and Xie Zhongzhong are the same age, the two met when they were in school, but the two chose differently, after the wife finished high school, she went to a normal college to continue her studies, and after graduation, she became a primary school Chinese teacher. Xie Zhongzhong chose to drop out of school and go home to farm halfway through high school.

But she didn't have even the slightest prejudice against Xie Zhongzhong because of his choice and career, but she was still proud of Xie Zhongzhong's farmer profession.

Xie Zhongzhong did not earn much money in his life, although now compared with the past, the income of farmers has increased significantly, but compared with those classmates and friends who went to the sea to do business in the same period, or those highly educated classmates and friends, Xie Zhongzhong's income can be said to be insignificant.

But a trivial income is not necessarily an insignificant life, and a trivial income can create a happy and beautiful life that many people envy.

Xie Zhongzhong was able to raise his two children with just his meager income and send them to the top universities in the country.

Xie Zhongzhong also only relied on his meager income to give his wife and his children a small home.

Although there are some unknown bitterness and bitterness behind this, a man can support a family with his own hands, and his life can be regarded as an achievement.

My wife listened quietly to Xie Zhongzhong's talk about today's game, and she was full of smiles, as if she had just met decades ago.

Xie Zhongzhong was happy, and he also secretly drank a few sips of wine, and he also made a promise that he was not sure if he could complete for her insignificant life.

He said he was going to a national competition, then win the prize money and finally take her on a trip around the country.

This promise, since he was in love, Xie Zhongzhong has always wanted to say to her, but at that time, he had no education and no ability, he seemed to have nothing, only a piece of unripe wheat.

But now, he seems to have this ability, and chess, which used to be regarded as a plaything by many people, has now become a specialty, at least so that he no longer expects the wheat to ripen.

……

The next day's game will soon begin.

As it is a world competition, the progress of the amateur competition is fast, and the top 16 in each region will participate in a seven-day knockout tournament in the magic capital.

Today's match is not too difficult, but it is not easy to say, each contestant will have five matches, and the final 16 will be determined according to the points of the first day and today's victory.

Yang Zheng, Brother Yang Zi, and the scalpel are full of confidence in today's game, except for Brother Yang Zi, who lost two yesterday, both of them did not lose yesterday.

Even Huanhuan only lost one game yesterday.

This result also made Yang Zheng inexplicably agree with the scalpel's words, and subconsciously felt that this amateur game was not very difficult.

But after Yang Zheng easily defeated the first opponent, the scalpel ushered in his first defeat.

And the person who won him was an uncle dressed as a peasant, and he used less than twenty hands to make the scalpel have no choice but to admit defeat.

Although Yang Zheng didn't see the process, he speculated from the remaining chess pieces on the chessboard that this man named Xie Zhongzhong was not simple.

One is because the number of chess pieces is much inferior to that of a scalpel, but the number of chess pieces is very inferior, but his power is used by him superbly.

Single-handedly capture the king? No, it should be the endgame of "Five Steps to Dinghua Mountain" to tell the thrill of this game.

Xie Zhongzhong's double rook should have been lost at the beginning, most likely to cover his single horse and single gun "into the game".

And the scalpel was very clever in predicting all this, and he most likely did not attack when Xie Zhongzhong lost two big sons in a row, but chose to defend safely.

However, his defense seems to be airtight and seems to be dominant, but Xie Zhongzhong can still find the vacancy and put his chess pieces in the safest position of the "encirclement".

But insight and computing power are only a small direction that determines the outcome of this game, and the real big trend is that when his two chess pieces enter the safe zone, he hides the single horse that can really determine the outcome in the back.

He was very witty to use the safety of the big son in front of him as a disguise, when the scalpel put all his energy on the two big sons in a safe position, and finally let the big son who decided the victory rashly enter, and the winner was determined by one move.

As the saying goes, true and false, false and true, in order to reach his level of truth, in addition to experience, you need a big heart.

Otherwise, according to the number of his inferior chess pieces, it is quite difficult to defeat the enemy in the last move.

After learning that Xie Zhongzhong was just an ordinary peasant chess player, whether it was Yang Zheng or those onlookers, they all felt incredible.

It seems that there is no better explanation to explain his amazing strength except for the master in the folk.

Of course, there are also many chess players who attribute this victory and defeat to luck, and threaten to thank Zhongzhong's good luck and end there.

Because Xie Zhongzhong's opponent in the next round is an amateur chess player who has been praised by a serious chess master.

He is also a legendary chess player that Yang Zheng often saw in TV chess shows when he was a child.

This chess player's name is Ouyang Fu, who played invincible opponents all over North China when he was young, and is known as an amateur master of the folk "chess master".
