Rebirth of the Great Power

Ming Yuan, who had been recording the game records in the game room, stepped forward at this time, and said to Mu Yuan: "Young monk, I dare to ask Master Mu for advice on a game. Is it possible?"

Before Mu Yuan could say anything, Master Jing Kong had already smiled and said, "This is Ming Yuan, the eldest disciple of my monastery, and also my eldest disciple in the Dao of Chess. If you are convinced, you will never take the initiative to ask for a fight. If the little benefactor has time, you might as well give me some pointers."

Mu Yuan got up and gave a slight bow: "I dare not take it as a guide. I am very honored that Master Meng will not give up."

Mingyuan clasped his palms together and saluted: "The little monk wants to ask the almsgiver for advice on a game of Connect Four."

Mu Yuan happily responded: "Okay."

Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that if the other party hesitated, he would just let the third son go.On weekdays, when I play against my master, at most I will give up to the second son, and occasionally when the state is very good, I can directly give up.Since three years ago, the master has not let the third son move, let alone the fourth son.Now this benefactor agrees to let the fourth move without even thinking about it, either he doesn't understand the risk of handicapping, or his chess strength is higher than what they thought.

At this time, Master Jing Kong said with concern: "Master Mu has already played a game today, do you want to play another game?"

Mu Yuan smiled: "No need, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, let's make it today."

After lunch, the two resumed the chess game.

Before the start of the game, four sunspots have been placed on the star positions at the four corners of the chessboard, and these are the four sunspots.Under normal circumstances, the handicap is handicapped on the star position.

Playing handicap is different from playing pair chess. A player who plays well at handicap may not necessarily be able to play handicap well, especially when facing an opponent whose strength is not too weak.Handicap is another hurdle in handicap. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Longshi, the number one national player, and his student Xu Xingyou played handicap, and lost eight out of ten games. This shows that it is not easy to play handicap.

As the first disciple of Master Jing Kong, Ming Yuan's chess skills are not too bad.So Mu Yuan was not in a hurry to open up the situation early, and the start was quite smooth.

When playing handicap, because the gap has been widened from the beginning, the opponent often uses some tricks and changes, hoping to close the distance as soon as possible.In many modern Go tutorials, there are special studies on cheating and changing moves.

But Mu Yuan didn't intend to use such a method.

Firstly, this is not in line with Mu Yuan's temperament, he has always played chess openly and frankly; secondly, Mu Yuan is very confident in his own chess ability, and does not need to use some secret tactics to win.What's more, no matter how sophisticated the trick is, it will inevitably have some flaws. If you kill the enemy three thousand, you will lose eight hundred. If the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack and succeed, it will not be beautiful.

Facing Mingyuan's slightly conservative play at the beginning, Mu Yuan swept away his aggressive style of chess just now. He was neither aggressive nor conservative.

In fact, Mingyuan didn't really think that Mu Yuan could let his fourth son, and the third son should be about the same, but the fourth son might be too reluctant.It's not that he thinks too highly of himself, but from the two chess games played by Mu Yuan and the host master, it can be seen that the opponent's strength is really good, whether it's far-reaching calculation power, strong control ability, or chess The type of sensitivity is the only one he has ever seen in his life.It can be said that if the game is a pair of chess pieces, Ming Yuan thinks that he has no chance of winning at all, but the experience of playing handicap chess with his master over the years, from handing over nine pieces at the beginning to occasionally being able to handicap first now, Ming Yuan also has no chance of winning. Not too presumptuous.

Mingyuan had already made up his mind to let the advantage of the four-piece black chess be huge, as long as he didn't make mistakes, the opponent, even a god, would have nothing to do, as long as he could keep half of the advantage to the end, he would win.

Ming Yuan has already seen Mu Yuan's fighting power, so naturally he would not take the initiative to provoke a fight, and was even prepared that if the opponent wanted to provoke a war, as long as the loss was within the acceptable range, he would not respond.Unexpectedly, Mu Yuan didn't intend to take the initiative to attack, so Ming Yuan was happy to play steadily, making up what needed to be made, making even what needed to be connected, defending every piece of chess like an iron wall, never giving the opponent any chance to attack.

Mu Yuan played chess quite quickly, and Ming Yuan was not slow to catch them. The two played back and forth, and quickly made dozens of moves.Mingyuan quickly turned the advantage of the corner into the ground, and so far White has not even had a decent piece of live chess.

The chess records of this game were still recorded one by one and sent to the monks outside waiting for news. Seeing this situation, everyone talked a lot.

"Sure enough, it's too reluctant to let the fourth son. Brother Mingyuan has almost occupied the corner, and the opponent doesn't even have a decent piece of live chess. There are dozens of moves back and forth. It's hard to make up for this gap."

"Hey, the host can only let Senior Brother Mingyuan's second son, this benefactor won the two games of chess and he is so big, really beyond his control!"

"I don't think so. It may be a fluke to win one game, but we have won two games in a row, and we have seen both of them. It is really exquisite. I always feel that there will be someone behind me."

What others think of Mu Yuan doesn't know and doesn't care, as the chess pieces fall on the board one by one, the situation changes quietly.

By the time Mingyuan realized something was wrong, it was already too late.Unknowingly, white almost completed the separation and anti-encirclement of black, and built a thick line in the middle, blocking black at the corner.This situation is almost a replica of the previous game, except that Mu Yuan's role has changed.

Mingyuan stopped playing chess and looked at the board, puzzled. He wouldn't be so surprised if this situation was formed after the two fought fiercely, even if the opponent made a few strange moves or Even if he made a few brilliant moves, he can understand.But no, nothing.Mingyuan can be sure that there is nothing wrong with his own move, while the opponent's move is very ordinary, and the means of coping are not too extreme, but the result is greatly unexpected.

Apparently, some of the onlookers also noticed Mingyuan's predicament, and exclaimed, "Senior brother Mingyuan, it's not good!"

"This, how could this be..."

After contemplating for a long time, Mingyuan finally chose to enter.If you successfully let the opponent turn the thick momentum into a solid ground, even if you add up all the black spaces, it may not be worth it.Although he was afraid of the opponent's combat power, it was no longer the time to back down, it was either fighting or dying.If the opponent wins this game of chess without bloodshed, Mingyuan will never be willing.As long as you can limit the opponent's moves and at the same time you can live out a piece of chess here, you still have a chance of winning.After all, the advantage of four pieces is not so easy to recover.

Once again, the situation unfolded like the previous game of chess, but the result was completely different.

Although Mu Yuan didn't take the initiative to provoke a fight, he was not afraid of it.The white chess cut off the black chess's way back, and the war is about to break out.After a fierce fight, black managed to live a piece of more than ten pieces of chess in the thick of white, but white also completely broke black and gained nearly [-] pieces of solid ground.After all the calculations, plus the number of black pieces that have to be paid back after being broken too many pieces, black has no advantage.

Mingyuan didn't continue, he no longer had the confidence to win.Playing handicap is tantamount to failure as long as the upper hand chases the thin chess, and no player will pin the hope of winning on the final official stage.

After Mingyuan conceded defeat, Master Jing Kong, who had been watching the chess from the sidelines, let out a long sigh and said, "It's too late!"

As if drinking a stick in front of his head, Mingyuan suddenly came to his senses.As the eldest disciple of Master Jing Kong, Ming Yuan's combat power should not be underestimated, but because he was afraid of Mu Yuan's combat power and thought he had the advantage of having four sons, he chose a conservative approach from the beginning, which is tantamount to making use of his weaknesses and avoiding it. long.

Mingyuan lowered his head, feeling ashamed and ashamed, he made such a mistake because he took the victory too seriously and lost his composure.

However, I have to admit that even if I was too cautious and made mistakes first, it is still the strength of the opponent that determines the outcome of this game.In a similar situation, the opponent can turn defeat into victory, but he can only lose to the end.

Apparently, Master Jing Kong knew this very well, he smiled and said to Mu Yuan: "Young Master Mu is indeed very powerful in chess. With such talent, I have only seen two people in my life."

"Oh, I don't know who the other person is?" Mu Yuan asked curiously.

"It's a little friend of the old monk, who comes to this temple every year to play a few games of chess with the old monk. Unfortunately, he just left a few days before the little benefactor came, otherwise the two of you would have played a more exciting game when you met. "

"It's such an unfortunate coincidence." Mu Yuan also said with some regret.The only thing he wants all his life is the way of chess. After waking up in this strange world, only Go can comfort his inner loneliness and loneliness. Naturally, being able to play against a master is what he desires most.

"There are chances in everything in this world. If there is a chance, you will meet each other." Master Jing Kong clasped his hands together and made a gesture.

"I hope so." Mu Yuan smiled lightly.

He stayed in the temple for another two days, and in the early morning of the third day, Mu Yuan took Tian Yuan to bid farewell to Master Jingkong and a group of monks, and went down the mountain.In the past two days, there were not a few monks who came to seek advice from Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan never refused to come. Most of the time, he played handicap with five people at the same time.

Compared with the good and bad chess players of Qiantang Qingyun Chess Club, these monks in Lingyin Temple are already considered masters.Mu Yuan had a great time going down.

The scenery of Lingyin Mountain is beautiful, and the two of them stop and go, admiring the flowers and leaves along the way, which is very pleasant.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Mu Yuan was being pulled by Tian Yuan to look at a sloping peak in the distance, but he didn't notice a young man in blue who was walking towards him in a hurry, and couldn't dodge in time, the two bumped into each other.

Fortunately, Tian Yuan pulled him, and Mu Yuan was not knocked to the ground. The young man who hit him lowered his head and shouted: "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it, please forgive me." He continued to hurry up the mountain.

Thinking that the other party was in a hurry, Mu Yuan didn't care, but Tian Yuan yelled at his back with some dissatisfaction, as if he was the one who was hit: "I run away when I hit someone, and I don't have any sincerity in apologizing. Hurry to reincarnate!"

"Maybe there is something really urgent, it's nothing anyway, so don't worry about it." Mu Yuan comforted.

"Understood, young master." Tian Yuan pouted slightly while answering.

Mu Yuan smiled lightly and shook his head.
