Ji Chen came under the big banyan tree.
I saw seven or eight old men wearing slippers and vests, holding a big cattail leaf fan in their hands, huddled together, staring at the chess game on the stone table in front of them.
Everyone's face was very excited, and it was obvious that the situation had reached a critical moment.
Even many old men directly gave ideas to the people sitting in front of them, analyzing the next move.
Although in the Chinese chess world, it is important to watch the chess without saying a word, but everyone is from the same village, and they are all old friends, so there is no such saying.
Whenever someone plays chess, they will immediately gather together, give their own ideas, and make loud noises. Sometimes they will even reach out to take the chess pieces and help others move the chess.
What's more, today, their opponent is the old man Xia who has no rivals in the whole of China!
Ji Chen also quietly integrated into the group of old men, walked behind the old man who was at a disadvantage, and watched.
The man on the other side was a man in his sixties, with a smile on his face. Although he had the upper hand now, his words and actions were still very steady.
On the disadvantaged side was also an old man in a vest, and the old men around him called him Lao Wang.
At this time, Lao Wang's soldiers and ministers had been forced, and he was also facing the offensive of the black side's cannon. What's worse, the opponent's chariots and horses were already at the gates of the city.
Now as long as the black side launched an attack, if the red side could not defend it, the whole situation would collapse immediately!
And the only chess piece that Lao Wang had crossed the river was the soldier on the opponent's third line, and when the opponent's soldiers and elephants were complete, there was no offensive power at all!
Now it was Lao Wang's turn for the red side to move. It was also a chariot, a horse and a cannon, but it was not as powerful as the black side, and it was impossible to counterattack, because the pieces were all on his side and there was no killing.
So in the face of the black side's imminent killing, the red side's move was particularly critical.
It can be said that as long as he made a wrong move now, Lao Wang would lose the game directly!
"This, how can we go? It's difficult!"
"Alas, every time Old Xia comes back, he kills us without leaving any trace!"
"I'm so angry. I've thought of several moves, but I feel like I'll lose. Can't I win this round?"
"Move in! This is the most appropriate move at the moment!"
...
When Xia Zhonggeng heard what Old Li said, he couldn't help but smile confidently.
If the Red side moves in at this step -
"No, you'll lose if you move in!"
Just when Xia Zhonggeng's thoughts were halfway through, a strange young voice suddenly came from the old man opposite, directly attracting his and the other old men's attention.
What caught his eye was a young man who was much more handsome than when they were young, and looked only about nineteen or twenty years old.
Seeing the young Ji Chen, the old men's hearts, which had been lifted up, instantly sank to the bottom again.
"You are so arrogant. I thought you were a master, but you turned out to be a kid."
"There are not many young people who like chess now. It's good enough for them to understand the chess game. Do you expect him to be a master?"
"Well, that's right... You can't go to random doctors when you are in a hurry."
...
In the eyes of the old men, Ji Chen looks like he is only 20 years old at most. What good chess can he play?
Compared with the old men, Xia Zhonggeng on the opposite side looked at Ji Chen with a few more interesting eyes.
"Young man, then tell me, how should Lao Wang break my trick now?"
Xia Zhonggeng didn't expect that the game he set up for the other party was seen through by this young man at a glance.
When everyone heard Xia Zhonggeng speak, they were all stunned.
No way?
Lao Xia even bullied a child who didn't know chess?
How could he know!
At this time, Ji Chen heard Xia Zhonggeng's words, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Knight 2 to 3!"
The old man beside heard Ji Chen's words and shook his head immediately, "No, Knight 2 to 3, isn't this giving chess to others to eat?"
Another old man also scratched his head, "Yes, you move the chariot 7 to 3, first contain the opponent's cannon, which is much better than Knight 2 to 3!"
"Alas, this kid is really too young!"
...
When all the old men directly denied Ji Chen's move, Xia Zhonggeng, who was sitting opposite the chessboard, was slightly stunned, and felt incredible in his heart!
The level of these old men around is actually amateur, even Lao Wang who played against him can't beat him, so the level of analysis is naturally not that high.
So it is difficult for them to see the mystery of the young man's move of Knight 2 to 3.
If the pawn is not replaced with the horse, the red side will not be able to defend at all in the situation of advancing the pawn continuously. At that time, he canBy giving up the cannon and the chariot, only one horse and one pawn can kill the opponent!
Almost no one noticed this move. They still thought that the black side's greatest strength was the chariot and the cannon.
So we have to admit that this young man can use the horse to exchange the pawn to open up the situation, otherwise he can only defend all the time.
At this time, Lao Wang, who had been silent opposite Xia Zhonggeng, after hearing Ji Chen's move, thought carefully and reacted to the true meaning of Ji Chen's move!
Although his chess skills are not as good as Xia Zhonggeng, he is also one of the best old chess players in Jiangcheng.
So Ji Chen's move, as long as he thinks about it for a while, he can quickly understand it.
So, under the gaze of the old men, Lao Wang did not hesitate to pick up the red horse and eat the opponent's pawn!
Now the red side has only two big pieces, but two soldiers, one crossed the river and is on the third line, and the other is on the side of the road without moving.
And the black side has a chariot, a horse and a cannon, and the cannon is in the middle, and the offensive is very powerful!
Although the red side lost a big piece by exchanging a horse for a pawn, the situation was immediately opened up!
When the old men saw Lao Wang take this step, they were about to curse, but when they saw the situation on the field, they suddenly understood!
When the old men saw the changes on the chessboard, they were so ashamed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
Take this move for example, this, this young man is much better than them!
At this time, Lao Wang also had more opportunities to make moves and fought with Xia Zhonggeng!
After a while, the soldiers on the roadside also crossed the river.
However, later on, the situation became complicated again. The black side wanted to change a big piece and take advantage of a scholar. Lao Wang couldn't help but think again.
"Uncle, this move can be changed. If you move two more infantry, there will be a chance to kill."
Ji Chen had already calculated the changes in the chess and spoke to Lao Wang in front of him.
Now Lao Wang has great trust in him, or in other words, apart from trusting Ji Chen, he can't think of a better move.
So Lao Wang exchanged a cannon again, and the red side advanced, using the general's offensive to exchange two black soldiers!
With this move, the situation immediately reversed, and it became red to kill the chess!
When Xia Zhonggeng on the opposite side saw Ji Chen's move, the expression on his face had changed from the previous relaxed to the solemnity at this time.
If it were an ordinary person, facing Ji Chen's move, he would definitely make a wrong move and lose directly!
After all, Xia Zhonggeng is still a chess master known as the chess saint of Nanyue. Facing Ji Chen's killing move, although he could not counterattack, he used the car to exchange soldiers in the first time, using the advantage of the high elephant, and cooperated with the single horse to seek a draw!
The previous endgame on Lao Wang's side was reversed instantly. The chess game that was originally bound to lose was now seeking a draw. The opponent was still Xia Zhonggeng, known as the chess saint of Nanyue, and he couldn't help but laugh immediately.
Old Wang and the old men around him have played chess with Xia Zhonggeng for most of their lives, and have never won against him.
Today, Xia Zhonggeng actually asked for a draw!
It was so satisfying!
"Old Xia, I didn't expect that you would have this day!"
"I didn't expect this young man to be such a hidden master!"
"Indeed, we did misjudge him just now, but we didn't expect that the young man is so young and has such superb chess skills!"
"This is much better than when Old Xia was young!"
"It's just like what my granddaughter said, "beating" Old Xia when he was young!"
...
After finally making Xia Zhonggeng suffer a loss, the old men immediately started to mock him, showing no mercy to him.
Ji Chen heard what the old men said and waved his hand, "I just know a little bit, thank you for the compliment!"
At this time, Xia Zhonggeng on the stone bench couldn't sit still anymore.
He had always been almost invincible, but he didn't expect to meet an opponent today!
He didn't take the ridicule of his old friends to heart, but instead took great interest in the young man opposite him!
After watching a game, Ji Chen almost had a good time. After the game was over, he immediately prepared to say hello to the uncles and leave.
However, just as he was about to speak, Xia Zhonggeng on the opposite side quickly stood up and invited Ji Chen with a very serious look, "Young man, come and play a game with me!"
