Chapter 596 It would be better to admit defeat as soon as possible
While looking at the empty chessboard, Su Chengyi suddenly felt very lucky.
Fortunately, this little kid Chu Xuanxuan yelled about bonds and so on and rushed towards him. Otherwise, it would definitely not be a matter of playing chess comfortably at this moment, but being beaten by seven aunts and eight aunts. Attack various privacy issues.
In this way, Go becomes a good excuse to break the ice.
However, past experience has proven that the situation will never inexplicably develop in his favor.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly raised his head and glanced at Chu Qingmian.
Could it be that it was intentional?
Sure enough, there was a hint of kitten-like cunningness in her beautiful eyes.
It seems to be true.
He deliberately mentioned in front of Chu Xuanxuan that he was very good at playing chess before today's family banquet, so that Chu Xuanxuan, who prided himself on being a Go boy, would definitely not be able to help but challenge him at this time.
In this way, the game of chess will replace some other link.
In other words, the possible questioning and teasing sessions were replaced with links that Su Chengyi was more comfortable with and good at.
All in all, it seems that everything is according to Miss Chu's plan.
"Please."
Su Chengyi looked serious and raised his hand.
"Please."
Although he was very aggressive and unconvinced in his heart, he still had basic courtesy. Chu Xuanxuan nodded, which was quite decent.
According to the rule of "black first, white later", Chu Xuanxuan was the first to land a piece, and his position was above three-three.
This is his best opening method, which is a corner.
Chu Xuanxuan relied on such a start to kill the children who were several years older than him in the Children's Palace until they cried, and the adults often scratched their heads and blushed with thick noses.
Su Chengyi held the white piece in his hand, but inexplicably thought of a certain genius kid who dropped the piece on "Tian Yuan", and couldn't help but smile.
Miss Chu, who was standing on the other side watching chess, naturally thought of the same thing. She suddenly felt her face getting hot, secretly thinking that the shadow of her childhood would be with her for a lifetime!
When she sees Go in the future, she will think of herself when she was a child, thinking it was a backgammon competition so she eagerly signed up.
This is so embarrassing! ! !
What's even more embarrassing is that she met a bug-level opponent like Su Chengyi in the first round! !
After just a few simple moves, this guy keenly sensed something was wrong, and then looked at her with pity as if he were looking at a fool.
The next second, he raised his hand and shook the referee over.
"Sorry, I can't play this move."
Su Chengyi, who was a cub, said slowly with a little face that was in need of a beating.
“Why can’t I get off?”
At first, the referee thought it was a conflict between children. This is very common in children's competitions. Children are obsessed with winning and cannot control their emotions. It is common for children to cry and fight because a few chess pieces have been captured.
"She can't play chess at all."
Su Chengyi snorted coldly.
This was a situation that had never been encountered before. The confused referee and the teachers from both sides looked at each other and finally focused on the chessboard.
"."
At that time, Chu Qingmian didn't realize what the strange scene was about. She just glared at him and muttered in retort:
"You don't know how to play chess! I've already connected four chess pieces, and I can connect five pieces in a row soon."
"Heh."
Su Chengyi sneered.
Now the truth came out.
The teachers on both sides felt angry and funny for a moment. They shook hands and grabbed their students to escape from the competition venue.
"You kid, why did you take the initiative to participate in the competition without asking what chess is? You are usually so good that you know everything, and you really fooled the teacher."
Chu Qingmian's teacher bought a bunch of candied haws on the roadside and stuffed it into her hand, and was good at tempting her.
"Aren't we playing backgammon today?"
Chu Qingmian asked with a confused look on her face as she chewed hawthorn with a bulging mouth.
"No."
The teacher sighed helplessly.
The other side at this time.
"The teacher of the classmate just now has helped her apply to withdraw from the competition. We will get a bye in the first round and advance directly."
Su Chengyi's teacher also bought him a bunch of candied haws, squatted down and looked straight into his eyes.
Su Chengyi held the bunch of red candied haws in his hand and was not in a hurry to eat it, but said calmly:
"I will not participate."
"Why don't you participate?"
"If even such an idiot can participate, it only means that this competition has little gold content."
Su Chengyi bit the candied haws of sugarcoating until it was crunchy.
The past is hard to look back on.
Chu Qingmian shook her head and tried to forget this memory, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the corners of Su Chengyi's mouth curled up inexplicably.
Damn it! He must be thinking about this too, and he is laughing at her in his heart right now.
Chu Qingmian "swooshed" and flew two eye daggers at him. Unfortunately, the opponent lowered his head and did not receive the eye attack.
Su Chengyi was not actually secretly laughing at him. If he wanted to laugh at him, he had already laughed at him to his heart's content when he was a child. At this moment, he just thought of how little embarrassment the squad leader Chu had when he was a cub, and thought it was really cute.
But it was not only Chu Qingmian who noticed his smile, but also the little chubby man sitting opposite him.
Classmate Chu Xuanxuan had a lot of dissatisfaction with him. He was gearing up and getting ready to kill the chess game and defeat this legendary and extremely powerful guy in front of everyone.
Unexpectedly, when the man raised his head proudly, the opponent was not in a hurry to play chess. The white chess pieces were caressing his fingertips with an extremely arrogant smile on his face.
That’s okay! ! !
Chu Xuanxuan felt a "boom" and became red and warm.
This time it is really red and warm.
"Hey! It's too late!"
Putting aside all the modest, courteous and beautiful qualities of a Go boy, Chu Xuanxuan banged the chessboard loudly.
As a result, he was immediately hit hard on the head by his great-uncle who was standing behind him watching the game.
"Quiet!"
The thinking time in Go is stipulated. How to use it is the opponent's own business. Neither the opponent nor the audience can interfere with it. Seeing that the other people watching had no intention of defending him, Chu Xuanxuan could only cover his head and sob, becoming as quiet as a chicken again.
With this farce, Su Chengyi pulled away from his memories, said "Huh", and looked at the chessboard again.
Chu Xuanxuan played black in 33. This position is the strongest to defend the corner, but its slow development shows that his chess style tends to be conservative.
This is not consistent with him. It seems that it is better to separate his chess playing style from his personal personality.
Su Chengyi thought casually and dropped a piece of paper.
Anyone who can understand chess will find this piece difficult to understand. Its incredible position makes it impossible to guess its purpose and its next move.
Chu Xuanxuan boasted that he had memorized many chess records and had communicated and discussed with many high-level people, but he did not understand at all why this person made this move. The best explanation seemed to be
He can't play chess at all! ! He is actually just pretending to be awesome to fool laymen! ! !
Chu Xuanxuan's little head was spinning rapidly, and he felt that he had seen through the truth of the matter, and his whole body became excited for a while.
Great, this is the best time to expose this cold-faced weirdo! ! Everyone is looking out for me! ! !
Only my great-uncle, who has the highest level of chess skills, is more cautious, because Su Chengyi's movements and eyes when playing chess definitely don't look like someone who doesn't know how to play chess.
Go is very mysterious, and contains the meanings of ancient philosophy: one yuan generates two rituals, two rituals generate four elephants, four elephants generate Bagua, the sky is round and the place is square, the nineteen agricultural solar terms, the number of three hundred and sixty weeks, etc.
Therefore, my great-uncle has always believed that people who can play Go well must not be ordinary people, but should be the kind of arrogant players who can tell at a glance.
The young man sitting across from him had such a temperament.
As it turns out, this is indeed the case.
Half an hour later.
Among the two people playing chess, the calm and self-possessed person remained calm and calm, while the person on the other side who excitedly blew the horn of victory stopped and no longer had any momentum to speak of.
This is a tragic chess game, and the situation can be said to be one-sided.
Heizi was curled up in the corner, lingering for breath, while Baizi was already in a state of overwhelming power.
At the beginning of the chess game, everyone will whisper to each other for a few words. Those who know chess will briefly explain the rules to those who do not know chess, such as what the position is called, what the purpose of this move is, and so on.
But later on, everyone became much quieter.
Because this one-sided scene requires no explanation at all. Anyone who knows black and white can understand it.
Every time she watched Su Chengyi play chess, Chu Qingmian would feel a little emotional.
The saying that chess quality reflects character is actually unreasonable, because Su Chengyi's chess playing style is so different from his own.
There were vague clues when I played chess with the vice-president of the side branch in the chess club before. He mercilessly made the opponent blush and become completely red. I'm afraid I won't want to see that level of chess on the chess board again for a long time. .
Unexpectedly, the same goes for Go. When he plays chess, his expression is as calm as ever, but his chess style is fierce and arrogant. Every move is filled with determination to not give the opponent any way to survive, and the sense of oppression is extremely strong.
Chu Xuanxuan was indeed a good young man, and he tried hard to fight against such a strange chess strategy. Although he had little success, he soon understood what "helplessness" and "realm gap" meant.
Moreover, no one would think that Su Chengyi was bullying the younger, because there was an old man standing behind him who was scratching his head and blushing with Chu Xuanxuan, who was three years older than Su Chengyi.
Yes, less than ten minutes into the game, my great-uncle, who sensed something was wrong, had already joined the battle.
Except for Chu Qingmian, everyone else originally thought it should be a classic plot in which the protagonist cheats and calls for help, the old man, to turn the tide, but unexpectedly it is not.
What is playing out in front of everyone is another classic plot.
"The younger ones were beaten, and the older ones came."
"So we beat the old man together."
"Lost."
After a long stalemate, my cousin, who knew how to play Go, couldn't help but sigh.
"GG——"
The younger generation said in unison in a long tone.
This is a commonly used word when playing games. It means "Good Game". It is often used to express respect to the opponent when giving up in a game.
The older generation were relatively reserved. They just looked at each other and raised their hands helplessly to applaud.
"Thank you for your hard work. Both sides are great. This is a wonderful chess game."
Grandpa Chu Qingmian, who just proposed to play the chess game, now also took the initiative to take on the finishing work. He stood up, pulled the already red and warm Chu Xuanxuan into his arms and comforted:
"Xuanxuan, you are still young. Wait for you to practice for a few more years before you come to compete with this brother."
Chu Qingmian handed the cooled jasmine tea to Su Chengyi's hand with a smile and raised her eyebrows.
"As expected of classmate Su Chengyi who can ask the referee to judge me. He is very powerful!"
"Okay."
Su Chengyi nodded and took a sip of the tea in the cup. The aroma of jasmine came to his nose, fresh and delicious.
"Promise me that next time you participate in the competition, you won't go down to Tianyuan as soon as you come up."
"No way!"
Chu Qingmian hummed, touched the top of Chu Xuanxuan's hedgehog-like head, and said comfortingly:
"Okay, you're great too, Xuanxuan. When my sister was your age, she was still playing Go like backgammon!"
After hearing what she said, Chu Xuanxuan reluctantly raised his face from the adult's arms, looking very frustrated.
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
Chu Qingmian was stunned for a moment, but later realized that the child was saying sorry to Su Chengyi.
"I shouldn't think that you can't play chess at all. I give up. You are really good."
Chu Xuanxuan turned around with his head drooped and said this.
Miss Chu suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart. In order to reduce the time Su Chengyi was forced to operate, she designed such a chess session.
In this way, it not only has the effect of an "ice-breaking game", but also allows people present to realize that Su Chengyi's level is not a bluff, but really powerful.
Unexpectedly, although the goal was achieved, the Taoist heart of this naughty kid who had always had everything going smoothly since childhood was completely broken.
I originally thought that Su Chengyi would act like a normal adult and comfort him at this time, saying things like "You are very talented but you lack experience" and "There is still a long way to go."
Unexpectedly, in the face of Chu Xuanxuan's sincere apology, Su Chengyi just nodded slightly and didn't seem to have much reaction.
The next second, he held a black stone and it fell on the chessboard with a "clack".
"From this step on, you have entered a real dead end, and everything after that is just a death struggle. There is not much meaning. Just admit defeat here."
Although he said this calmly and calmly, to describe it, it was like a cold knife "kuku" piercing people's hearts.
Even after flashing, I still have to chase A!
Although she had long expected that this guy would not be able to comfort people, Miss Chu almost lost her temper when she heard him speak so directly.
Not only her, but everyone did not expect such a development and looked at each other for a moment.
