Chapter 265: Winning the Chess Game!

Su Wen was not good at Go in his previous life, but he still knew that the most tested thing in chess was calculation.

So his answer was very natural, without the slightest hesitation, as if it was a familiar answer.

For Du Ning, it was quite surprising to Su Wen's answer, even if Su Wen's previous statement that Su Wen compared chess to the starry sky had taken him aback, but after all, it was just an abstract metaphor, and now what the two are discussing is about the more specific victory or defeat of chess.

In Du Ning's view, calculation, if not the most critical factor between the two pieces, is definitely the most important thing when playing between the two.

Therefore, Du Ning looked very satisfied, and said with approval in his eyes: "It seems that Su Shengcai does have a talent for chess, but Du still hopes that Su Shengcai will understand that between chess players, it is not purely based on calculation. ā€

Su Wen nodded and said respectfully, "I hope your lord will advise." ā€

Du Ning raised his hand slightly to stroke his beard, and said with a smile: "The chess path is no different from the rest of the Dao systems in the Hundred Dao of the Holy Path, and the subtlety still relies on supreme wisdom and experience, or a kind of ethereal inspiration, but the Qi Dao is the most special one in the hundred Dao, because it is unique in its test of willpower, patience and huge computing power, I say so, do you understand?"

Su Wen bowed his head and said, "The students have been taught. ā€

Du Ning smiled and suddenly proposed a proposal, but everyone present was surprised.

"If Su Shengcai doesn't dislike it, why don't we talk about it?"

Su Wen was also stunned, judging by Du Ning's meaning. Could it be that you are ready to play a live game directly at the cultural meeting?

Although Su Wen had read some chess games in his previous life and knew the legendary Danghu Ten Games, he had never really played chess after all. After arriving in the Sacred Word Continent, thanks to the blessing of the chess position, he was able to use war chess to meet the enemy, and he also initially had some understanding and perception of chess, but when it comes to real chess, I am afraid that it is far inferior to Lin Chonglin's teaching, how can it be compared with Du Ning?

As Suvin said earlier. The test of chess is calculation, which is not what Su Wen is good at, the so-called eternal game is not the same. Even if Su Wen memorized a lot of chess games, it would only be on paper after all, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to be killed by Du Ning at that time?

It was only at this time that Su Wen began to faintly regret it. I shouldn't have been so showy before. It's really hard to ride a tiger now.

Wang Yangming is happy to see this happen, because in this way, even if the discussion stage of this literary meeting is passed, and the academies of both sides have not lost face, isn't it all happy?

So before Su Wen agreed, Wang Yangming had already ordered the academy students on both sides to bring wooden tables and chess sets, and lined them up between Su Wen and Du Ning, and the game began immediately.

Su Wen saw this. Knowing that the wood was already in the boat, he had to smile awkwardly. With a bitter face, he said: "Master Du, the student's game skills are really a bit difficult to put on the table. ā€

Du Ning naturally thought it was Su Wen's modest words, waved his hand and said: "Su Shengcai is humble, the so-called literary meeting is a way to exchange and learn, and the victory or defeat here does not mean anything." ā€

Su Wen smiled dryly and said, "Yes, too, friendship first, competition second, haha......"

Du Ning was stunned, and was baffled by Su Wen's rather fresh sentence, but after recalling it carefully, he praised it: "Su Shengcai's words are really every word!"

As he spoke, Du Ning raised his hand slightly, made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "I don't know what color Su Shengcai wants to choose?"

Su Wen hesitated slightly, as if what color he chose didn't matter much about the outcome of this game, because it was not a backgammon, and whether he made the first move or not, it seemed that he would lose.

Just thinking like this, Su Wen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and in the depths of his memory, he thought of a very interesting anecdote from his previous life, so he hurriedly replied: "I choose sunspots!"

"Oh?" Su Wen's expression changed in Du Ning's eyes, and he seemed to have a deep meaning, and he couldn't help asking, "But I don't know what the reason is for this?"

Su Wen scratched his head and said a little apologetically: "Because the sunspot is the first." ā€

As soon as Su Wen's answer came out, it immediately provoked bursts of chuckles from the students on both sides, and even Du Ning was amused, shook his head and said, "In this way, Du will confess." ā€

The two sides chose the chess pieces, but before the move, Su Wen couldn't help but say: "Mr. Du, I hope Mr. won't mind this chess played by the student for a while." ā€

Du Ning was stunned for a moment, a little unclear, and before he could ask, he saw that Su Wen's sunspot had already fallen first.

Judging from Su Wen's chess skills, he is obviously quite rusty and clumsy, and he has no demeanor in chess at all, and the place where his first son landed also made Du Ning confused.

Su Wen's sunspot fell on the chessboard Tianyuan. (Note)

Generally speaking, in order to show respect for the opponent, when the two play against each other, the position of the chess piece that the first hand falls on is also particular, and it is quite rare to fall directly on Tianyuan like Su Wen.

However, Du Ning didn't seem to make too much of a fuss, but after being slightly stunned, he dropped his white chess.

Du Ning's move was very conventional and looked a little conservative, after all, it was the first time the two met, and he didn't know what Su Wen's chess style was, so he still had some tentative intentions at the beginning.

However, Du Ning didn't expect that Su Wen's second son would fall so quickly.

Almost at the same time that he dropped the white piece, Su Wen's second black move had also been dropped.

But even at this time, Du Ning didn't find anything wrong, he just followed his past habits and fell again.

"Smack!"

Su Wen's sunspot was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it also fell immediately, as if he was in chaos without any thought, and his expression also caused the chess watchers on both sides to look puzzled.

"Did Senior Brother Su play chess so fast?"

"Didn't Master Nadu just say that chess is a test of patience and calculation? How do you feel that Senior Brother Su fell without thinking about it?"

At the same time that everyone was talking, Du Ning had already lost the fifth piece, and then he finally understood Su Wen's chess move, so he suddenly stopped the trend of falling and showed a helpless face.

"Su Shengcai, why are you teasing me?"

Su Wen knew that the other party had already seen that he was tired of this chess game, so he had to give his hand and say: "Actually, what the adult said before is not right, in my opinion, no matter what chess game, facing any opponent, the ultimate goal should be to win, so that fate can be in their own hands, and the starry sky can shine, so, please forgive the student for being rude!"

The two of them were confused when they heard these words in the ears of others, until they suddenly let out an exclamation in the Shengyou Academy: "This is, imitation chess?"

All of a sudden, the students of the entire Shengyou Academy seemed excited, some with a look of indignation, some with a wry smile on their faces, and so on.

Most people in Hongming Academy didn't understand what "imitating chess" meant, so they all set their eyes on the face of Lin Chong, the only one who knew how to play chess.

At this time, Lin Chong also opened his mouth wide, and after a long time, he explained with a smile: "Su Wen has won this game." ā€

Academician Bai was stunned for a moment, obviously the two sides had only played five moves respectively, how could they have divided the winner and loser? Could it be that Su Wen's chess path was already so unfathomable, and it was so powerful compared to the national chess players of the Tang Kingdom?

Lin Chong knew that everyone would be wrong, so he had to explain: "The so-called imitation chess is that Su Wen's first son falls on Tianyuan, and then how Du Ning plays, Su Wen's side follows how to play, so that at the end of the game, the final winner must be Su Wen, and it happens to be the one who wins Tianyuan!"

With such an explanation, everyone immediately suddenly realized, and someone couldn't help but ask weakly: "In this way, isn't Senior Brother Su suspected of cheating?"

Tang Ji glared at a pair of small eyes and reprimanded: "What is the meaning of cheating? This is called wisdom! Do you understand wisdom? Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, who let that Du Ning himself underestimate the enemy?"

As everyone expected, what Su Wen planned to play from the beginning was to imitate chess, so he could fall so quickly that he didn't have to think about it at all, because he only needed to see how Du Ning played, and then use the sunspot to follow the next time!

This is Su Wen's must-win move!

It is rumored that this chess was created in Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the chess he played with Xu Da was an imitation of chess, so he could always win a son and never lose.

It was precisely because Su Wen thought of this anecdote before, so he decisively chose the sunspot who went first and hurriedly landed on Tianyuan, and now Du Ning has obviously seen Su Wen's plan clearly, so there is the conversation between the two just now.

Since he knew that he would lose, there was no need for Du Ning to continue playing this game of chess, although he was a little annoyed by Su Wen's cleverness, but he had no way to refute Su Wen's remarks about victory and defeat, so he had to suffer this dumb loss, and said with a wry smile: "I never thought that Su Shengcai was so persistent about the fruit of victory and defeat!"

Su Wen smiled shyly: "I hope the adults won't blame me, so I agreed." ā€

Du Ning shook his head, the abandoned son admitted defeat, and was about to mention yƬ and Su Wen to have another game, but he didn't think about it, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I've heard of Su Shengcai's reputation for a long time, and when I see it today, it's really worthy of the reputation, so let me play a game with Su Shengcai, what's the matter?"

After finishing speaking, a white dress stood up from the banquet of Shengyou Academy, staring at Su Wen's face like a cold star, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was unpredictable.

Su Wen turned his head, looked at the young man who had a relationship, and smiled in his heart: "He finally couldn't help it." ā€
