Rebirth of the Great Power

The game of the second day started as scheduled.

Coincidentally, while Mu Yuan was fighting against Fan Yanxian, Su Yuzhi and Huan Zhanxuan, who were in the same group, also met earlier in this round.

Today there are still four big boards in the courtyard of a chess building, but the difference from yesterday is that today's boards no longer use bidding to decide which game to arrange, but instead a bet on the outcome of the game .After yesterday's game, all chess players have played at least one game of chess. Although it cannot be said that they have a complete understanding of each chess player's chess strength, it is still feasible to make a rough judgment of whether they are superior or inferior.And winning or losing is obviously more attractive than chess bidding.

Those who can come to participate in Yangzhou Lunping are all the leaders in Yilin in each state capital. Even if there is a difference in chess ability between each other, it will not be too much.At the same time, it is also for the good looks of the chess players, so all the odds are the same as [-] to [-].As for the extremely popular chess player playing against an opponent who is obviously inferior in chess strength, it is controlled by limiting the bet amount.

As a matter of course, the game that attracted the most attention today was the game between Su Yuzhi and Huan Zhanxuan. More than [-]% of the chess players who entered the courtyard surrounded the big game. Schedule an explanation.

Su Yuzhi and Huan Zhanxuan are both favorites to win the championship. Under normal circumstances, Qilou would of course hope to arrange such a wonderful match in the second half, but since it is decided by lottery, there is always some luck involved.Fortunately, in this round, there can be two winners in each group. No matter who wins this round, it will not affect the promotion, and it can also arouse the enthusiasm of the spectators in advance.The only thing that may be affected is that if the final outcome will be decided between these two, then this match will become a skirmish, which will make the final match lose some suspense.

But between chess players, if the difference in chess strength is between equals, winning or losing cannot be predicted. Every game has variables, and a single victory or defeat means nothing.

Because of such a high-profile chess game, almost no one cares about the other three games.The match between Mu Yuan and Fan Yanxian attracted a little more attention than the other two games due to the relationship between the latter. Many people beat Fan Yanxian to win, but the chess building limited the betting amount, which made everyone sigh.Although Mu Yuan won two games in a row yesterday, many chess players also noticed him, knowing that this unknown young man is not weak in chess, but still not many people think that he can beat Fan Yanxian.

Ji San tilted his head slightly and said to Mo Yan: "Go, take ten taels of silver, and press Brother Mu to win."

His voice was not deliberately lowered, and anyone who stood close could hear it clearly, but no one paid too much attention to what he said.Although ten taels of silver is a lot, but looking at his clothes and ornaments, you can tell that he is not a person who cares about money. From his tone, it is obvious that he knows Mu Yunzhi. Support is no big deal, it's just that it's cheaper for the banker's chess house in the end.

In the lobby, in front of each set of chessboards, the two sides of the game have sat down facing each other.

Fan Yanxian showed a sincere smile on his honest face, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Mu, please."

Mu Yuan was not polite to him either, he cupped his hands and smiled, then grabbed a piece from the chess box, after guessing the piece, Fan Yan held the white first and went first.

Fan Yanxian is a cautious person, never underestimate any opponent, never underestimate any game of chess.Before the discussion started, he had already had a general understanding of the chess players who participated in the discussion. Everyone was well-known or well-known in their respective state capitals, and he could find some information. The Mu Yun in front of him is straight.

Fan Yanxian asked himself that his knowledge is not too little. In the chess circles of Jiangnan and Huainan, he has heard of all famous chess players, but he has never heard of a master named Mu Yunzhi in Qiantang, as if this person It just appeared out of nowhere.This is actually no wonder Fan Yanxian. It was only two months ago that Mu Yuan became famous in the first battle in Qiantang. The speed of news spread in this era is not fast, not to mention that Mu Yuan has not had time to create other eye-catching achievements besides facing Wang Zijing. famous Bureau.Mu Yuan did not mention the games of chess between Lingyin Temple and Master Jingkong, and the people of Lingyin Temple would not deliberately spread it. Naturally, only a limited number of people know about it.Coupled with the fact that Fan Yanxian has been in retreat for the past few months to prepare for this debate, he has even less inquired about news from other state capitals.Of course, he never thought that someone would make great progress in chess in just a few months.As for the story of Mu Yuan's mysterious and legendary Qinglong granting chess records after the Ping Ping Discussion is over, it will be spread throughout the Jianghuai region and even the entire Daqi along with his unfathomable chess skills.

Because of the limited knowledge of the opponent in front of him, Fan Yanxian specially asked someone to find Mu Yuan's chess records of yesterday's two games for research.Although neither of Mu Yuan's two games of chess has ever been played on the large chessboard in the courtyard, the chess records of all the games in the chessboard will be recorded. Although it will take some effort, as long as you find the right person and spend some money will be able to get.For Fan Yanxian, these are of course not difficult.

Being able to win two games in a row in Yangzhou Lunping, where there are so many masters, shows that the opponent's chess is not weak.However, just looking at the game record, although the opponent has a slight advantage, the overall situation does not have an overwhelming advantage.Fan Yan first made a rough judgment on Mu Yunzhi's chess strength and heaved a sigh of relief. If it's just like this, it shouldn't pose too much threat to him.It wasn't until the game between the two of them really ended that Fan Yanxian realized how big a deviation his previous judgment was, but at this moment, in his eyes, the opponent was just a young man with good chess skills, and he should be a very good chess player. good opponent.

Fan Yanxian admired Mu Yuan's indifferent attitude at the moment.Fan Yanxian has a good reputation in the Jianghuai area, and he dare not say that he is invincible. It is not a problem to be ranked in the top five among the masters he knows.With such a high reputation, some opponents showed timidity before they even played a game, and Fan Yan immediately felt bored.

The game of Go is different from ordinary competitions. It is not that the strength of the game is higher than the certainty of victory. It's not common, and it's not uncommon. Even if it's a handicap, it's enough to make people talk about it.However, if one loses the will to win from the very beginning, then no matter the outcome, it is destined not to be a wonderful duel.

The young man in front of him had a calm demeanor and an elegant demeanor, but his eyes were black and white, radiant and firm, without any hesitation.Immediately, Fan Yanxian was aroused with a strong fighting spirit, and he was fully motivated.The greatest respect for an opponent is to go all out.This is Fan Yanxian's attitude at the moment.

Fan Yan hit Xiao Fei first, and Mu Yuan hung upside down at the corner of the opponent's seat.White splits the corner again, and black flies to defend the corner.The game started quite smoothly, and Fan Yanxian's moves were fast, as if he was spreading his sphere of influence.While avoiding his sharp edge, Mu Yuan also strode forward.

After a few set-ups, the two sides got a situation that was roughly mutually satisfactory.

Soon, Fan Yanxian opened the prelude to an active attack with a double-clamp, and Mu Yuan responded quickly. As he had planned in advance, he did not choose to counterattack immediately, but to defend first.

Fan Yanxian's expectation of Mu Yuan's mastery was also expected. After studying Mu Yuan's first two games, he found that the opponent was not a chess player who liked to challenge head-on.In such a situation, it may be that the opponent is not good at fighting hard, or it may be that the previous two opponents have not forced him to the point where he needs to fight head-on.There are not too many things that can be seen from only two games of chess. Of course, Fan Yanxian hopes that it is the former, and believes that it is the former. Otherwise, this opponent is too terrible.

Fan Yanxian's style is actually not difficult to catch, as long as you have watched a few games of his chess, you will know that he is good at attacking and is also willing to attack, replacing defense with active attack.There is a saying in military strategists that "the best defense is to attack", but Fan Yanxian applied this sentence to the extreme on the chessboard, advancing step by step and making fierce moves.It is difficult for ordinary people to hold their breath and not fight back in such a sudden attack. In addition to psychological pressure, there are also realistic exams.Fan Yanxian's attack was not aimless. If you don't respond, it is very likely that the great rivers and mountains will be handed over to others; however, even if you actively respond, you may not be able to gain the upper hand in the end.This is what is so frightening about Fan Yanxian.

Fan Yanxian's several attacks were deftly resolved by Mu Yuan while maneuvering.Of course, Mu Yuan didn't respond at all, but his response was extremely ingenious. A few chess moves that seemed to have little effect, but focused on the main points. If Fan Yanxian wanted to continue to attack and capture this piece of chess, it might end up being a thankless effort. However, if you give up at this point, the previous few moves will be useless, and will be useless, and it is very likely to become your own weakness in the subsequent counterattack.It's like a stick in my throat, I can't swallow it, and I don't want to give up.

After several rounds, Fan Yanxian finally felt a little tired and started the long exam.

At this time, the chess game between Su Yuzhi and Huan Zhanxuan has also reached a critical moment. The two of them come and go, attacking in turn, and the master falls out, which is extremely exciting.Those who played were happy to play, and those who watched enjoyed it. There were many onlookers in front of the big market in the courtyard. Every time a master appeared, there was a burst of applause, and the occasional miss or disadvantage also made everyone nervous.

In comparison, the game of chess between Fan Yanxian and Mu Yuan was much more deserted.Originally, there were a few more people watching chess, but when it came to the middle game, the wonderful battle that everyone was looking forward to never happened, and Mu Yuan's repeated avoidance made several impatient chess players see their anger.

"What's the matter, if you don't fight back like this, do you have to wait until the other party burns the fire to your backyard?!"

"This Mu Yunzhi, does he really know how to play chess? It's simply unreasonable!"

"Don't watch it, don't watch it, it's so boring."

……

A few people waved their hands, shouted and walked towards the direction of Su Huan's chess game.

Tian Yuan was already furious when several people berated Mu Yuan, his brows were furious, and just about to refute, Ji San pressed his hand lightly, and gave him a calm look, and then he took it seriously. The fire that was about to come out subsided, but the fire in my heart was still burning: you ordinary people, how can you understand the young master's chess.How can you easily understand the master's brilliance.snort!

It's not that everyone can't understand, except for Ji San, there are a few people in front of the market who can see the trick.

"This Mu Yun is straight, it's not easy!"

"Brother Yu, did you see anything? No matter how you look at it, my younger brother doesn't think it's very good."

The man surnamed Yu grinned, pointed at the big board and said, "Black seems to be avoiding the fierce attack of white, but have you noticed that every time black makes a countermeasure, white's attack will be reversed?" Take it easy. In a duel between masters, the timing is very important. There is a saying in military strategists: if you make a big effort, you will decline again, and then you will be exhausted. Fan Yanxian's chess has always been as powerful as a broken bamboo. It's rare. Besides, have you noticed that since just now, no new chess records have been sent out. And the next move, it's White's turn to play."

Ji San glanced at the eloquent and eloquent man, and secretly smiled a little: This man has some good eyesight.
