Xu Zheng rushed out and went next door to get chess sets.

Soon came back with a black and simple woven bag, a heavy feeling.

He carefully placed the bag on the coffee table and took out the contents one by one.

A chessboard and two chessboards.

The texture is delicate and beautiful, the material is special, and it looks expensive.

The finest gold silk sandalwood chessboard, chess jar and top black and white agate chess pieces.

Seeing Ye Xiaofan's eyes, Xu Zhenglei introduced with a smile: "This thing cost 2.3 million, and it is the work of Master Xie Yunchen. ”

2.3 million?

Ye Xiaofan was thoughtful, if he had to put it aside three or four months ago, he would definitely make a fuss.

Can ...... now 6 taels of tea sold for 500,000 yuan, and a pill with a cost of less than tens of thousands of yuan was sold at a sky-high price of 2 million.

It is not surprising that a pair of chess sets made by the master and made of precious materials cost 2.3 million.

Xu Zhenglei looked at it lightly, but in fact, his eyebrows were a little proud.

At that time, the auction was fiercely bidding, and finally I got this chess set.

Master Xie Yun Chen has been dead for many years, and his chess set is out of print and now has doubled in value.

Xu Zhenglei secretly paid attention to Ye Xiaofan's reaction, and seeing that his face did not change, he immediately determined that Ye Xiaofan's chess skills should be really not good, and he had not been in contact with the Go circle, otherwise how could he not have heard of Xie Yunchen's name.

On one side are two chess jars filled with delicate chess pieces.

"You don't need me to introduce the basic rules of Go, right? Kuroko goes first.

"Guess first, but the one who comes is a guest, so let you hold the sunspot."

Xu Zhenglei was generous and put the black chess jar in front of Ye Xiaofan.

With a bright smile, in addition to his demeanor, he mainly felt that his level was higher than Ye Xiaofan, and he was more or less homely.

The first move is strong, and the same is true for Go, where the first move advantage has a great impact on the top players, and it is counteracted by thinking that the setting is kneeling.

"Okay, thank you."

Entertainment, it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

It is neither about face nor about interests.

Ye Xiaofan was not polite and opened the lid of the chess jar.

Pick up a black piece and place it in the middle of the chessboard, that is, the Tianyuan position.

"The first son Xia Tianyuan? Alas, apparently you haven't played Go for a long time.

"If you are in Tianyuan, the advantage of the sunspot is gone, which is equivalent to letting the other party have a son.

"Go has a belly of gold horns and silver edges, and Tianyuan leaks wind on all sides,

"The efficiency is low, and the win rate is 6% lower than the normal star position!

"Under normal circumstances, only a master who expresses contempt will play this chess hand against a rookie!

"There is also a case of imitating the way chess is played.

"Imitation chess, also known as Dongpo chess, is said to have originated from Su Dongpo.

"The sunspot is on the Tianyuan, and then according to where the opponent is, he will be in the position of the symmetry.

"It has also appeared many times in professional tournaments, and it is a relatively well-known layout in Go."

Xu Zhenglei looked like a Go master, suspicious of being a trick, talking eloquently, shaking his head, pointing out the omission of Ye Xiaofan's hand.

He reached out and took back the sunspot from the chessboard and handed it to Ye Xiaofan, "Give you a chance to play again, I don't know where it falls, just be regular, and play in the star position." ”

"Well, I have no regrets. Anyway, if you're looking for a competitive opponent, then you can find someone else. ”

Ye Xiaofan stubbornly put the sunspot back on Tianyuan,

"You ......" Xu Zhenglei was a little helpless, "Okay." But if you don't have the sense of victory, playing chess is too boring. ”

He felt like he had found the wrong person.

Ye Xiaofan smiled but did not speak.

"You really want to play imitation chess?"

When Xu Zhenglei followed closely and finished putting the chess pieces, he noticed that Ye Xiaofan quickly put the chess pieces in a symmetrical position, and was stunned for a moment.

Ye Xiaofan shrugged, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"You kid...... Alas, imitation chess is too easy to crack.

"Novices always like to play like this, but in modern Go, black chess should be close to the eye, which means that you will always be slow down.

"Even if it goes down to the end, the territory is about the same, and the sunspot will lose."

Xu Zhenglei is full of confidence.

As a veteran Go player, he only has an amateur 6-dan certificate, but he has won a professional chess player.

He already had several different countermeasures.

According to the routine, it does not take a few rounds to form a counter-kill, and you can break the imitation chess.

The two of them fell very fast.

Ye Xiaofanyun was light and light, so he made a move, and followed it down, and went down in a symmetrical position.

Xu Zhenglei didn't panic at all, and even faintly showed a sly smile, which was already in the layout.

If Ye Xiaofan still imitates this step, it will be self-defeating, and he will definitely lose.

Bang~

The chess pieces fell, and Ye Xiaofan changed the chess pieces that should have been played in a symmetrical position.

Xu Zhenglei was a little disappointed, but said with a smile: "Why don't you continue to imitate?" ”

"Well, if you lose, naturally you don't have to imitate." Ye Xiaofan seemed to be smiling.

"What?"

Xu Zhenglei didn't react, and after two or three seconds, he frowned and looked at the chessboard.

Quietly staring at the position of Ye Xiaofan's last son.

He pondered for a moment, then his eyes widened sharply, "You...... You saw through my layout earlier? ”

Ye Xiaofan didn't answer, it was nothing more than borrowing strength.

took advantage of Xu Zhenglei's light enemies and layout flaws, and dealt with him first.

If Ye Xiaofan doesn't remind him, Xu Zhenglei is careless, and if he falls according to the plan, he will be eaten 6 sons.

"Hehe, I'm underestimating you. I'm losing this game.

"But if you only eat my 6 sons, you don't win, and until the last moment, you have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Don't do that in your next game, don't remind me! ”

Xu Zhenglei was a little displeased and directly admitted defeat in this game.

Ye Xiaofan scratched his head in embarrassment.

He can't say that his strong mental arithmetic ability has predicted the possibility of Xu Zhenglei's subsequent layouts?

One wrong step is a loss.

These 6 sons are the beginning of the opponent's defeat, and in the next 10 rounds, you can decide to win or lose.

But Xu Zhenglei didn't think so.

It's normal to eat and be eaten in Go.

The comparison is in the end, who surrounds the most and has no way to go down, only then can it be considered a winner.

Even if he is eaten 6 pieces, he has the confidence to turn the situation around.

But Ye Xiaofan was a little annoyed when he reminded him like this.

I'd rather do it all over again than win this game of chess under Ye Xiaofan's reminder, and the win is not glorious and incomplete.

“……”

In the first game, Ye Xiaofan won.

Ye Xiaofan was a little helpless, Xu Zhenglei seemed to have changed as a person, and when he played chess, his temper became a little hotter......

In the second set, Xu Zhenglei Baizi won 4 sons.

In the third set, Xu Zhenglei Baizi won 5 sons.

After three sets, it was already 6 p.m.

The housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Xu, Brother Ye, it's time to eat...... Hey, Mr. Xu, why are you sweating profusely, you don't look good, I asked Dr. Lin to come over? ”

He found that Xu Zhenglei's head was sweating, and his expression was solemn, which looked a little abnormal.

Worry about something going wrong.

In fact, he was frightened by Ye Xiaofan's chess strength.

"Xiaofan, you won't lose to me on purpose, right?"

Xu Zhenglei didn't pay attention to the housekeeper, and his thoughts were still stuck in the two chess games.

In the next two games of chess, Xu Zhenglei became serious, not only was it not easy, but it became more and more difficult to play.

In the end, you have to think for a minute or two before you dare to land.

On the other hand, Ye Xiaofan plays chess very fast, and he doesn't have to think about it.

It seems random, but in fact, it kills everywhere.

If he is not careful, Xu Zhenglei may lose.

Step by step, difficult planning, barely winning.

He plays chess with masters like Ding Haiyan, and he loses more and wins less, but when he wins, he often wins thirty or forty pieces.

It's like now, it seems to have been carefully designed, and only four or five sons are allowed for him.

The cranky thinking and mental energy consumption were too great, so that Xu Zhenglei's face was abnormal and his head was sweating.

The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes.

A man who wins, a difficult and narrow victory.

Those who lose are light and light, and there is no sorrow or joy.

If outsiders only look at the performance of the two, they will definitely think that Ye Xiaofan is the winner.

"Uncle Xu, I'll treat you as if you're praising me. If I really want to deliberately lose to you, two or three hours, then I will definitely lose more than ten games. ”

Ye Xiaofan smiled and shook his head in denial.

Too much force.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose Go, it doesn't matter if you can win or lose.

But in someone else's house, it won't embarrass the master's family, right?

I wanted to pretend to do my best to lose as much as possible, so that Xu Zhenglei would be happier to win, but in fact it was the opposite of what he expected.

"There is nothing to do on the chessboard, and there is no last resort. It's just not a human heart. ”

Ye Xiaofan sighed secretly.

The overall situation, road calculation, and situation judgment are the key factors of Go's strength.

The powerful spiritual sense just gave Ye Xiaofan the terrifying ability of mental arithmetic in Go.

The chessboard is limited, with 361 intersections.

After a few rounds of fighting, he can judge the opponent's follow-up layout strategy, and the possible landing points of some chess pieces, so as to make responses, skillfully set traps, and be invincible.

As a result, how many sons the other party can win is within Ye Xiaofan's control.

Xu Zhenglei nodded slowly, his mood barely improved, "That's right, even if Lao Ding can't do it, neither can the chess saint......

"However, based on your current performance, you still say that the level is not high? You can get an amateur 6th dan or even higher level qualification, no big problem! ”
