Dad, please try harder

Jiaotong University.

The scene of the top three exhibition matches of the "Freshman Cup" friendly match.

New champions Qian Quan and Li Zhiyi teamed up to compete against more than 20 chess players from eight universities in Minhua District.

I saw the two of them walking back and forth in front of the chess players, taking a step every time they came in front of each chess player, with almost no pause.

five minutes later.

Players on both sides began to be eliminated.

After another two minutes, only half of the chess players on Qian Quan's side were left.

However, although the number of people has decreased, Qian Quan and Li Zhiyi's chess speed has not increased, but has become slower and slower.

After another seven or eight minutes, only one player on Qian Quan's side was still persisting, and it was today's runner-up classmate.

After Qian Quan was one-on-one with him, the seemingly balanced chess situation was completely reversed in three or five moves.

The opponent stared at the chessboard for two minutes and then gave up.

There are still two opponents on Li Zhiyi's side, but they have also reached the final stage.

One minute later, both players lost at the same time.

2 versus 22, it was still hard to win, not even a draw.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange.

Qian Quan said: "It's a bit of luck and luck. It's not easy at all."

Li Zhiyi didn't seem to feel anything was wrong, she was waiting for the showdown with Qian Quan.

The host and rhythm master, vice president of the Jiaotong Chess Association, spoke again:

"Okay, I take back what I just said. The level of the two champions has exceeded my expectations. I think even if I got off the field just now, I dare not say that I will win.

"I guess everyone is in the same mood as me at the moment, waiting for the ultimate showdown between the two champions.

"But the two of them already played a game this morning and it was a draw. I think since it's an exhibition match now, how about we change the approach and play a game of blind chess?"

Blind chess not only tests chess skills, but also tests memory, which is extremely difficult.

Cao Chuande had never seen Qian Quan play blind chess. When he met Jiao Dafang, he proposed this method of competition. He knew that they must be well-informed. When he was about to speak, he heard Qian Quan say: "Okay."

Li Zhiyi naturally had no objection.

So the two sat with their backs facing each other across a game of chess, and the runner-up and second runner-up students helped them move chess respectively.

"I played red in the morning game. Let Li Zhiyi play red in this game," Qian Quan said.

Li Zhiyi acquiesced, then closed his eyes and started playing chess.

There were more than thirty people in the classroom, some sitting and others standing. They stopped making any noise, and everyone held their breath and concentrated.

Qian Quan crossed his chest with his left arm, put the elbow of his right arm against the back of his left hand, supported his face with his right palm, tilted his head slightly and looked somewhere.

Whichever of the two makes a move, the two classmates who are responsible for moving will help move the move.

Snapped!

The sound of the chess pieces falling was clearly audible and seemed to fall on the hearts of every audience.

This was not the first time for Cao Chuande to see someone play blind chess, but it was definitely the most nervous one.

The two chess geniuses, who are less than twenty years old but already possess master-level skills, seem to have suddenly transformed into two top strategists in ancient times.

They commanded thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield, engaging in a unique peak battle.

Generals in heavy armor roared back and forth, tens of thousands of horses galloped and neighed, chariots rumbled, and trebuchets waved non-stop...

Every command issued was a close encounter.

After more than twenty moves, the battlefield was already littered with corpses.

The students watching the chess game had their hearts moving with the chess, and some of them were breathing nervously.

Qian Quan holds the black chess piece, and the old "general" sits firmly in the central military tent. Outside the military tent is guarded by a series of double "elephants".

However, there was only one lone "soldier" left beside the old "general", and the other one was trampled by the red "horse" who came to assassinate him.

The old "general" seemed very angry. He not only killed the "horse" with his own hands, but also mobilized his army to press the opponent's chess camp.

A car stationed on the river bank, two horses, and a cannon formed a dangerous formation in response to each other, locking Li Zhiyi's "handsome" from a distance.

Li Zhiyi thought for a long time and decided to go back to the "car" to rescue him.

Qian Quan seemed to be waiting for her to make this move, and then made a strange move that stunned the onlookers.

He directly blocked his "car" in front of Li Zhiyi's "car".

This looks like a pure suicide move.

Everyone watching the chess game looked confused.

Li Zhiyi fell into a longer silence, and finally ate Qian Quan's "car" with a slightly trembling voice.

Qian Quan's tone was as usual and he jumped a horse.

After the move, someone in the field finally figured it out and vaguely deduced the subsequent killer move.

The vice president of Jiaotong University sighed, "It's too cruel" and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

As soon as Li Zhi opened his eyes, his eyelashes trembled a few times, and the expression on his face was actually somewhat relieved.

She stood up, turned around, looked at Qian Quan, and said, "I can still play chess with you in the future, right?"

Qian Quan also turned around and replied with a gentle smile: "Of course."

"It's not on the phone." She said "shake hands and make peace" and she almost vomited.

"Uh... that's fine too."

"Um."

The exhibition match ends here.

The discussion on the spot suddenly became noisy.

All the questions and thoughts I had accumulated while watching chess suddenly burst out.

This chess "Freshman Cup" friendly match also ended successfully with everyone's heated discussion.

The dominance of Jiaotong University is still unshakable, and several students who participated in the competition achieved excellent results, including the championship and runner-up.

However, the biggest winner in this competition is undoubtedly Maritime Normal University.

Jiaotong University has a new student, Li Zhiyi, which is reasonable, even though this new student is a bit ridiculously strong.

But the money and power of Maritime Normal University seems to have come out of nowhere.

Not only did he share the championship with Li Zhiyi, but he also teamed up with her to stage a wonderful 2 versus 22 wheel battle.

He even defeated Li Zhiyi with a surprising move in the exhibition match, shocking everyone with his skills and taking the top spot.

Let’s not talk about how the money will be rewarded for returning to school with honor, and what benefits it will bring to the chess club.

He only said that Li Zhiyi, who also won the championship but lost a game for the first time in a long time, was very emotional now.

She sent a message to her brother Li Zihe: "Brother, you guessed it right, I really met that person."

Li Zihe quickly replied: "Which person?"

Li Zhiyi: "The one Zhao Baiyu said."

Li Zihe: “Her grandfather’s chess friend?”

Li Zhiyi: "Yeah."

Li Zihe: "How did we meet?"

Li Zhiyi recounted her experience playing chess with Qian Quan from online to offline.

Li Zihe didn't reply for a long time. After a few minutes, he replied: "That is indeed a coincidence. I will go to Zhonghai tomorrow to have a look."

Li Zhiyi didn't ask why, just replied "hmm" and ended the conversation.

Hangzhou, West Lake Martial Arts Hall.

Li Zihyuk, who was wearing a training uniform, sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at his phone with a serious face.

After a while, he made a phone call.

"Hey Bai Yu, that's it. I want to ask you something. It's your grandfather's chess friend you mentioned before. He later went to the Naval Normal University, right?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just suddenly curious and want to know more. After all, a boy who can leave an impression on you is definitely not an ordinary person."

"You mean, your grandpa thinks highly of him?"

"Okay, then I understand, let's do this for now, bye~"

After hanging up the phone, Li Zihe's expression became more solemn, and then he reported the incident to his father.

Coincidence?

That would be too much of a coincidence.

How many unexpected encounters in this world are actually planned for a long time?

Who is playing chess?
