Chess - Chess, also known as Western chess or European chess, is a strategic board game played against two players. The chess board consists of 64 black and white squares. There are 16 black and white chess pieces, mostly made of wood or plastic, but also made of stones, and the more delicate stone, glass or metal chess pieces are often used as decorative decorations. Chess is one of the most popular games in the world.

The four major chess games in the world are all related to the country's political system. The political system reflected by chess is the feudal society of the West. Compared with the other 3 types of chess, chess is more colorful:

For example, the social hierarchy is more pronounced, and the names of the chess pieces are linked to social classes - e.g., bishops, knights, chariots, and so on.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that the most powerful chess piece in chess is the "queen", which highlights the status and role of the queen in Western feudal society, which reflects the uniqueness of Western feudal society in history, that is, the unique position occupied by women in political activities. (Because of the political marriage, the queen represents the support of the third-party coalition army, and in addition, there is no queen in Chinese chess and other similar board games, or there is no place for a woman at all.)

......

Don't get me wrong, this book is not a "Chess Beginner's Guide" but "The Peerless House". However, the reason why this two-player game is explained in a little more detail is because......

"Smack!"

Mandorov, after careful consideration, solemnly left a son, and the "queen" of Kuroko pushed the "chariot" of Shiroko to the brink. By the way, he protected the back of his "knights".

"Well, it's been a long time, and you're getting better and better, teacher. ”

Fastro VII smiled wryly and let his "chariot" retreat to the rear line, giving up the continuous onslaught in favor of consolidating his own front.

"Whew. People make progress every day, my majesty, and the possibility of growth is not the privilege of you young people. ”

The old demon mage who had the upper hand was a little proud when he heard the praise.

Please don't complain about why there is such a thing as chess in another world, I'm afraid it is thanks to Osetin's inscrutable guy. Chess is a board game that has been popular in the court since the time of the gods, and it is even popular not only in the upper class, but also among the people.

It is said that this is a game invented by an Osetine priest who was inspired by the gods while performing spiritual meditation......

In other words, for Osetin, who stands outside of time and space, it is not too strange to randomly twist one or two things from another world from the torrent of time to add a little entertainment to Trantac, right?

“...... That's right. People make progress every day. ”

"What's going on? My majesty, it's boring to play chess with this old man, isn't it?"

Looking at Fastro VII's thoughtful expression, Mandolov caressed his gray beard and asked happily, now his originally knotted beard is cleaned every day, of course. The bow tied to the end of the beard is still the same. It's not that he suddenly likes to be clean, it's that the old mage who is so engrossed in the study of magic didn't have the heart to take care of these trivial things in the past, plus his disciples are also masters who can't see anything but study his eyes, and the magic tower is built in the wilderness away from the crowd, and he doesn't see a few outsiders all year round. There was no one in that place except for a few magicians who lived in it - the study of magicians was too dangerous, especially the research of old mages, and every once in a while there was a problem, and if you went to visit, you would have to worry about your own safety. Not to mention the attendants who are specifically responsible for taking care of their daily lives live there, so there has been no waiter who can take care of their daily lives in the magic tower.

But since I got the Flying Magic Tower. It is also convenient for the magic tower to come and go with the Wuxin Palace, and there are attendants who are responsible for various functions one after another, and they can also enter the magic tower at any time through the light ladder of the Wuxin Hall to clean up and take care of it (the small-scale teleportation circle is still in the actual stage. Therefore, it is still a big challenge to set up a magic circle in the building), and Cokeli forbade him to hold Xiaofei in a dirty state, so the old man is happy to let people clean up every day.

"Uh-huh...... No, no, sorry, a little distracted. ”

Fastro VII explained with a wry smile.

"I just think this chessboard is very similar to where we are now. ”

"Oh, yes? Let the old man take a look...... Hey, I didn't really notice it, but it's a bit like it when you mention it!"

The pieces on the board have their own duties: king, queen, knight, bishop, chariot, soldier...... They faithfully exercise their duties in their respective positions.

"In this way, this is His Majesty. ”

Once he was aroused, he couldn't control himself, and the old mage suddenly became childlike, pointing to the "king" of white chess and said happily.

Perhaps because of his personality, Fastro VII's style of chess is also very similar to his own, and the king of the white son suddenly charges alone in a corner of the position, looking a little lonely and dangerous. However, the old mage knows that if he rashly shoots at this "king", then the price he will have to pay next will be immeasurable, and the other chess pieces of Baizi seem to be scattered and irrelevant to each other, but they are vaguely connected with each other, just like a trap that hides itself deeply, as long as it is triggered, the blows of ruining the character will also follow one after another - and the bait of this trap is precisely the "king" himself!

"And this is our Highness Krenna. ”

The old mage's finger then pointed to the white "queen" who was sitting on the bottom line of his own side at the other end of the chessboard, although he did not charge, but the position of the "queen" was also very wonderful, and there was a faint bit of strategy. It means to be in control of the big picture. (The reason why the "queen" of chess is the strongest is because the "queen" moves the most freely, that is, she can walk in a straight line like a "chariot" or a diagonal line like a "bishop".) And unlike the "king", who can only walk one square at a time, the "queen" has no limit on the number of steps. ）

"Hehehe, it's true, since St. Austin had the queen Klenna, the connection with the Santa Alliance has become closer, and the communication between the other races in the country has become more ordinary. ”

Her Royal Highness is not as pampered as other solitary ladies in solitude, but on the contrary, she has always been active in using her methods to expand her influence among the people. For example, the expansion of the church school, the addition of medical facilities, the resolution of conflicts between the various ethnic groups of the royal city, etc., and so on, it is because she silently supports her husband behind the scenes. Therefore, the prestige of the Fastro royal family among the people of St. Austan has also been maintained at its peak.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Her Royal Highness is the strongest backing of Fastro VII.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that behind a successful man there must be an excellent woman.

"Speaking of which, this is you, the Master. ”

Although the topic was not deliberately raised by himself, since the excitement had already been aroused, Fastro VII was happy to follow this line of thought. Pointing to one of his pawns, he smiled and joked with the old mage.

"Hmm?!Is the old man a 'chariot'?"

As soon as he saw the chess piece pointed by His Majesty the King, Mandorov's face immediately became crying and laughing.

When did the magician, who is supposed to be a combination of wisdom and technology, become a rampaging "chariot"?

It's a bit frustrating.

"Hehehe, the magic developed by the teachers and students has played a great role on the battlefield, which has made our legion have a lot less to worry about. And I've recently researched the information provided by Akhan and discovered something new -- their chariots in the world are equipped with cannons. ”

"Does Majesty mean that the old man is the 'chariot' of that world?"

"Hmm. Let's just say that. ”

In the era of Rewu, chariots were equivalent to long-range attack weapons. In this sense, the old mage is really suitable for this kind of role.

"So that brute lion of Rodman is the most active 'knight'?"

"Exactly. The 'knight' who charged alone and opened the way to victory for us was very much in line with Rodman. ”

"So, Lord Veronica is the 'Bishop.' ”

"That's right, he assists the 'king' on his side, guards the safety of the 'king', and will go to the front line to help others when there is something. The Bishop is very competent. ”

"Well, we really look very similar to this chessboard. ”

"That's right. ”

"But my majesty, have you forgotten someone?"

"Oh, teacher, what do you mean~~?"

Fastro VII looked up in surprise, but when he saw the mischievous but meaningful look in the old mage's eyes, he immediately realized it.

"In His Majesty's heart, what kind of position are our children in?"

"Do you mean Akhan?"

Faced with the old mage's question, Fastro smiled freely.

"Ah Kan~~ That guy is a 'soldier'!"

"Hey, hey, my majesty, that's a bit too much, isn't it?" 'Soldier', that's your son-in-law, and it would be sad to let him know his place in your heart!"

"But it's the best position for him. ”

After getting along for so long, Fastro VII also knows Feng Kan very well, he seems to be able to do anything, but it seems that nothing is suitable, the reason is - this guy will never do what he doesn't like to do, so far, Fastro VII has never assigned him a clear position.

"That guy, although he is a 'soldier', he is not an ordinary 'soldier'......"

As the game nears the end, the "king" of Baizi is already a little cornered, and it seems that he will be cornered by one step, but Fastro VII turns a blind eye to this crisis, and not only does not let the "king" escape, but picks up another chess piece - that is an obscure, down-to-earth and inconspicuous "soldier" who advances step by step, and is also the last soldier of Baizi.

"He's the strongest 'soldier'!"

"Smack!"

The last soldier finally reached the bottom line of the enemy formation!

Rise to chariot!

- General! And it's a dead move!

(Ascension: The "soldier" in chess, like the "pawn" in Chinese chess, can only advance one square at a time, but when it reaches the bottom line of the enemy's formation, it can become any other piece except the "king".) The soldiers at the bottom are the ones with the most possibilities, which is also the most unique thing about chess. ）
