Chapter 307: Chess Dao Honors
The chess elder who won thousands of kinds of chess in a row is not the apex of this chess city, since ancient times, there is a legend in this chess city when China, this legend that has been circulated for half an era is 'chess road respected'.
Not bad!
There are only four words: 'chess is respected'.
Along with this legend, there are also various explanations, such as winning thousands of kinds of chess in a row is a chess elder, and winning 10,000 kinds of chess in a row is a chess honor, which is the so-called chess way respect.
Therefore, above the chess elder is the chess honor.
There are also legends circulating in the chess city, only by achieving the chess honor, can you see the chess ancestor, and obtain the inheritance of the chess ancestor, so as to inherit this chess city.
Of course, everything is just a legend and has not been confirmed, but many creatures believe it, after all, there is no wind and no waves.
"Backgammon.." A touch of nostalgia couldn't help but appear in Ye Yan's heart.
The rules of backgammon are very simple, that is, both sides use black and white pieces respectively, and play at the intersection of the straight and horizontal lines of the chessboard, and the first to form a five-piece line wins.
When she was young, Ye Yan used to play backgammon many times, and even had an obsession with it for a while.
After all, Ye Yan in the previous life was not very smart, and he couldn't play complex chess games such as Go, but for the simple and easy-to-understand chess game of backgammon, he could get started.
This is also the reason why Ye Yan chose backgammon as his first game in this chess city.
"Smack. ”
The movements are skillful, even if an incomparably long time has passed, and even the body has been changed, the moment Ye Xiao picked up the chess pieces, he still fell into the 'Tianyuan' position on the chessboard extremely skillfully.
The so-called 'Tian Yuan' is the point in the middle of the chessboard.
The horizontal lines at both ends of the chessboard are called end lines, and the outermost two vertical lines on the left and right sides of the chessboard are called edge lines. The four points formed by the development of the two end lines and the two edge lines towards the center and the vertical and horizontal crossing in the fourth line are called 'stars'. The Tian Yuan and the Star should be marked on the board with small solid dots with a diameter of about 0.5 cm.
"This feeling... I really miss it. ”
A smile appeared on Ye Yan's face, making him involuntarily immersed in the memories, and the playful and irregular chess playing experience in the previous life came to mind.
"Damn it, you dare to look down on me so much, I want you to look good, smack. ”
Looking at Ye Xiao with a relaxed smile on the other side, but his eyes were in a trance, Tian Buping only felt that bursts of evil fire were emerging from his heart, and he was about to drown him.
But fortunately, Tian Buping was able to go from an ordinary congenital creature to this point, although there is an element of luck and chance, but it has also experienced countless tribulations, so it can still maintain its sanity, but the chess style has inevitably changed.
If the previous chess style was coercive, then the current chess style has brought killing opportunities.
"Interesting. ”
Ye Yan felt the change in the opponent's qi, and couldn't help but look up at the uneven sky opposite, and then chuckled and continued to play chess unhurriedly, with a nostalgic face.
"Smack. ”
"Smack. ”
......
Ye Yan's relaxed appearance, which would wander from time to time, let the evil fire in Tian Buping's heart directly destroy his reason, and the chess style gradually began to change again, from chess with killing, to destruction.
If he just wanted to kill Ye Xiao before, then now he just wants to destroy the other party and destroy himself at the same time.
"Really.." A touch of helplessness appeared on Ye Xiao's face, "I don't want the good memories to be stained with indelible variegation, hey!"
The helplessness in his heart did not make Ye Yan change, after all, the victory or defeat of chess lies in the 'chess power', and in this world, it can also be said to be the level of cultivation, and it is not a coincidence, the gap between Tian Buping and him is too big, so big that even if he doesn't think about it, he can still beat the other party.
"Then again, the backgammon I remember seems to be the oldest on the planet. ”
It was precisely because the gap with the opponent was too big that Ye Yana let his thoughts fly around.
Back then, because he liked backgammon, Ye Yanke investigated, don't look at backgammon, anyone can play it, but it is one of the competitive events of the World Mind Games.
In Japanese, there are many titles such as 'Lian Goko, Gokoren, String Beads, Gome, Gome, Gomebu, Gogaku, Goshi, Gofa, Golian, and Kyogik, and in English, it is called FIR (abbreviation of Five In A Ro), Gomoku (Roman pinyin of Japanese 'Gome'), Gobang, connect 5, and mo-rphion. Czech piskvorky, Korean omok......
For example, Koreans call backgammon 'couples', implying that playing backgammon between lovers is conducive to increasing emotional communication, Europeans call it 'gentleman', which means that a gentleman who plays backgammon is better than a gentleman, and Japanese people call it 'middle-aged and elderly chess', indicating that backgammon is suitable for the physiological characteristics and way of thinking of middle-aged and elderly people.
It can be said that backgammon is truly suitable for all ages.
According to legend, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, inadvertently drew seventeen horizontal lines and seventeen vertical lines, and this inadvertent invention created a backgammon.
As early as 595 A.D., the ancients used porcelain to fire the five-in-a-row chessboard.
For thousands of years, people have used various materials to make Go pieces, such as: glass, porcelain, jade, agate, copper, etc.
And in ancient times, the backgammon board and the Go chessboard are universal, the Han and Wei dynasties were seventeen roads (17×17) chessboard, to the Northern and Southern Dynasties when the nineteen roads (19×19) chessboard was popular, until 1931, the so-called five-in-a-row special chessboard appeared, for the fifteen roads (15×15) chessboard, the shape is close to the square, the plane is drawn horizontally and vertically 15 parallel lines, the line is black, constituting 225 intersections, the distance between the two intersections is about 2.5 centimeters, and the horizontal line is about 2.4 centimeters.
In the last life, backgammon is said to have originated in the period of Emperor Yao more than 4,000 years ago, which is longer than the history of Go.
There are similarities between the literary and historical sources of early backgammon and Go, because the ancient backgammon sets were exactly the same as Go.
In ancient myths and legends, there is a saying that "Nuwa made people, Fuxi made chess", and it was recorded in the "Zengshan Haijing": "There are stones in the mountain of Xiuyu, and the name is the chess of the emperor, and the five-colored and literary quail eggs." Li Shan's note quoted the Three Kingdoms Wei Handan Chun's "Book of Arts" and said: "The chess game, 17 vertical and horizontal, 289 in total, white and black chess pieces, 150 pieces each."
Although this paragraph does not specify what kind of chess it is, at least we know that beautiful stones were used as chess pieces in ancient times. Therefore, the simple rules of backgammon may also have originated at the time, and stones were used as pieces.
"Ci Hai" also said: "Gomoku is a chess game, the chess set is the same as Go, two people play a game, take turns to play, the first to connect the five sons into a line is the winner." ”
It can be seen that backgammon has a lot of origins.
"I don't know what the relationship between this chess city, or that chess ancestor and Fu Xi?" a look of thought appeared in Ye Xiao's eyes.
