Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 311: Slay the dragon and share the glory!

[The sixth game, the curtain opens again! ]

[You play the black piece and make the first move, and the white piece follows.]

【Su Yun was concentrating fully this time, staring intently at the chessboard without looking sideways.】

[The two of them played chess very fast, the woman's strategy was more stable, and she made many killer moves. ]

[In a flash, the game has entered the middle stage, and the situation is changing rapidly! ]

[The woman reached into the chess pot and took out a white piece. She rubbed it lightly with her fingertips, looking a little hesitant.]

[Su Yun looked up and was slightly surprised to find that the two sides were evenly matched.]

[Women have a slight advantage, the outcome is unpredictable! ]

[At this moment, after the middle game, the situation is about to change. ]

[The woman no longer hesitated and decisively placed the white piece down, with a clear and crisp sound that could be heard throughout the room.]

[Su Yun reached for the teacup beside him, but it was empty. A clever servant hurriedly went forward to add water, but accidentally knocked the lid off the teapot. Su Yun was quick to take over the teapot.]

[He looked stern, signaling the servant to leave and not disturb the quiet chess game.]

[Su Yun poured the water himself, fearing that the slightest sound would disturb the two people's thoughts.]

[From the moment Chen Jiuyan made his move, the situation became intense, with the white piece attacking to cut down the black piece.]

[Su Yun understood this clearly. This was Princess Kangle's original style of playing chess, with fierce attacks and fierce killing.]

【Chen Jiuyan is particularly good at "dragon-slaying techniques."】

[In the art of Go, black and white are clearly distinguished. Seven pieces connected together are called a small dragon. Ten or more pieces connected together are called a big dragon.]

[Once the dragon is killed, it is like the vital point is controlled, and the situation is like a building about to collapse, and it is difficult to save the situation. ]

[“Slaying the Dragon” is the most spectacular and fascinating move in Go, often drawing cheers from the audience.]

【Since the 40th move, Xie Guan has focused on the layout of the lower board, forming a big dragon that tightly wraps around the white pieces, making it difficult for them to escape.】

[Its goal is clear, it intends to completely suppress the white pieces and make them unable to move by taking advantage of the handicap in the middle game.]

【Xie Xuan was watching from the side, and was also fascinated, mainly because the two of them played this game extremely well.】

[He frowned. People who are new to chess should avoid fighting against others, as this will only throw them off balance. The more they study chess manuals, the more they will develop their own style.]

【Xie Xuan’s style of play is more focused on immediate gains, seeking the real situation first, and playing steadily. This style of starting a chaotic game is restraining him.】

[Go is like two armies fighting against each other, competing for territory. Whoever has the largest territory will be the final winner.]

[Chess pieces are like soldiers on a battlefield, being sent to the chessboard continuously to fight for that small space. When the chess pieces of both sides meet, it is a fierce battle, and the capture of pieces happens from time to time, just like the casualties of soldiers on the battlefield, which is inevitable.]

[When there is no more empty space on the chessboard, the game is declared over. ]

[Finally, the winner is determined by counting the chess pieces to determine who has the larger territory.]

[This thrilling battle of victory and defeat is what makes Go so exciting.]

[The chessboard has nineteen lines running vertically and horizontally, interweaving three hundred and sixty-one intersections, with endless variations that are difficult to count.]

【Throughout the ages, there has never been a game of chess that is exactly the same as the other. This is truly the case.】

[Both sides made moves very quickly. Xie Xuan suddenly felt that your style of play had changed drastically, from the previous steady layout and focus on the ground to a fierce offensive, no longer sticking to the "fixed pattern".]

[The chess game suddenly changes! ]

[The black and white pieces no longer defend each other's territory, but instead cling to each other and fight, attacking each other. ]

[Su Yun's eyes focused, and he whispered, "It's time to attack!"]

[“Da Zang” is a Go term, which means a key move that may directly affect the outcome of a match, forcing the opponent to respond.]

[The woman held the white piece tightly, hesitated for a moment, and then decisively dropped it.]

[Su Yun secretly sighed in his heart: "Not good!"]

[This move was like a ripple effect on the entire chessboard. The subsequent white pieces responded one after another, forming a fierce momentum to intercept the white pieces on the upper and lower parts of the chessboard.]

【Bai Zi slays the dragon! 】

【Xie Guan is in imminent danger! 】

【Xie Xuan at the side had a smile on his face, as if he had predicted that you would lose again.】

[You have lost four games in a row in the best-of-ten game agreement. If you lose one more game, you will have no chance of winning.]

[But you didn't panic, you just made your moves slowly. ]

[The woman frowned and hesitated a little when she placed the second move.]

[After dozens of fierce battles! ]

[When Su Yun reached out to pour the tea, he accidentally knocked the tea lid off, making a "buzzing" sound of iron colliding, which attracted the woman's attention.]

[He quickly picked up the tea lid awkwardly.]

[This mistake was due to the reversal of the chess game, which shocked him.]

[Originally Chen Jiuyan intended to slay the dragon, but he did not expect to fall into the "trap" carefully laid by Xie Guan, and was tightly entangled by the dragon under his body. ]

【Xie Guan's lower body is now flourishing and unstoppable. 】

[After the woman made a few moves, she sighed and said, "This game is lost. You can get up now."]

【Xie Xuan was shocked when he heard this. Did Chen Jiuyan lose again? 】

[“This game is lost, you can get up now” is also a slang in Go, meaning “The game is hopeless, you can admit defeat now.”]

【Xie Xuan stared at the chessboard, but felt that the woman still had a chance to make a move. He was unwilling to admit defeat so easily.】

[The woman clapped her hands and asked in confusion: "How did you see through it?"]

[You gently pick up a black piece and put it down calmly, saying slowly: "If you really want to slay the dragon, you shouldn't wait until now."]

[“Master Yan, you want to make the white piece move on the lower board.”]

[As your black piece was cleverly sandwiched between the white pieces, Xie Xuan finally realized that the woman had already made a backup plan in secret.]

[Chen Jiuyan did not ask the servants to clean up the chessboard. His two slender hands picked up the scattered white pieces and put them back into the jar.]

【“Come again.”】

[“How interesting! I thought I could beat you in this dragon-slaying game.”]

[The woman was not annoyed either, her tone was a little excited, and she adjusted her fu hat that was hanging down at the foot.]

[“Next, I’m going to be serious!”]

[Su Yun also knew that this princess had not shown her true ability. He remembered from the previous game that Chen Jiuyan had defeated his father in a similar situation when he played against his father.]

[According to her father, this was a “rule” she created when she was seven years old.]

[Set pattern refers to the basic chess shape formed by the two sides in the battle for the corner in a certain order of moves during the Go layout stage.]

[Pretending to slay a dragon, but actually hiding dragon scales. 】

[This move was named by Chen Jiuyan as "If you have the skill to slay a dragon, a dragon will be born."]

[Su Yun recalled this game and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had just been deceived by the "Dragon Slaying Technique". If he had fought in person, he would have been defeated.]

[Seven-year-old Chen Jiuyan might have surpassed me in chess skills.]

[As my father said, my grandfather had too much luck in the black and white world, which exhausted the luck of several generations of the Su family, not to mention the Su family or even the chess world.]

[The Su family doesn’t seem to have a single Spring and Autumn chess player who can make a name for himself in the chess world.]

【Xie Xuan just felt it was incredible. He had a vague feeling that your chess skills seemed to have improved over the past five games. You seemed awkward in the first game and it was difficult for you to defend against Chen Jiuyan.】

【Until now, I have been able to make far-reaching plans. 】

【Xie Xuan shook his head again! 】

[How is this possible? If you can really improve so quickly in just a few games, then it would be a joke if people who learn chess spend so much time and effort to write chess scores and play chess on the windowsill like playing chess with the sound of falling lights.]

[The seventh inning begins! ]

[Outside the window, the breeze gently blows through the courtyard. ]

[Inside the house, the servants were also attracted by their master's mood and atmosphere, and looked at the chessboard involuntarily, their eyes full of concern about the outcome.]

[Fortunately, you two are not like those old-timers who have been immersed in chess for many years. Each move requires a long period of contemplation and often a game of chess can last until dawn. You make moves very quickly, almost too fast to keep up.]

[Su Yun stared at the chessboard, trying to guess the subsequent changes, but the two of you have already placed several pieces in succession.]

[He was surprised to find that Chen Jiuyan's style of play had changed again this time, becoming plain and simple, focusing on the ground. He was no longer fighting fiercely like at the beginning of the game, but instead placed seemingly "dispensable" idle moves everywhere.]

[Xie Xuan rubbed his slightly swollen forehead. He had just tried to follow Chen Jiuyan's chess moves and was already a little distressed.]

[Playing chess is extremely exhausting, and the chess players usually have white hair by middle age.]

【Xie Xuan is good at this kind of chess game, and knows that the power of this kind of chess often lies in the final stage. At first, he could barely keep up with Chen Jiuyan's moves, but as the game progressed, he was amazed by Chen Jiuyan's moves that were both "tight" and "leaky". They seemed to be full of loopholes, but they could be cleverly filled in a few moves later.】

[“What a great move!”]

【Xie Xuan couldn't help but admire in a low voice, his eyes sparkling with a strange light. It was only more than 80 moves, and he had already seen seven or eight brilliant moves, each of which was amazing.】

[In this game, Chen Jiuyan truly displayed his unfathomable chess skills.]

【Xie Xuan is certain that you will lose.】

[There was excitement in his eyes, because this was the style of chess he had always dreamed of.]

[At the beginning, he focused on the actual situation and was good at layout. After the middle game, he defeated his opponent with overwhelming force. ]

[Your opponent will often be defeated in the end and be amazed at the back-up plan you have arranged.]

【Every time Xie Xuan wins a game, it is "very satisfying."】

[Of course, some people also complain that it is flashy but not practical, because it is easy to lose everything in the early stages with a single mistake. ]

[The woman seemed to have mastered this style of chess and had mastered it perfectly.]

[Su Yun also realized that without a plan to break the deadlock, the game would end in failure.]

[However, you did not sit still and wait for death. The black piece slowly fell down, approaching the middle of the abdomen, and began to press forward step by step, slaying the dragon in a straight line. ]

[The woman chuckled. She was the best at this kind of fighting, so she was not afraid.]

[White moves the piece, responding with ease, as if everything is under control.]

[Su Yun looked at the chessboard, his palms sweating. You changed your chess moves, and it seems that you have the intention to slay the dragon.]

[But the white chess pieces have the advantage at the beginning of the game, and are clearly starting to gain momentum, with opportunities to gain momentum everywhere.]

[It's probably difficult to slay a dragon. 】

[After a few more moves, the situation on the chessboard suddenly became delicate.]

[The woman was suddenly stunned, her eyes fixed on the layout on the chessboard, as if she had seen something incredible.]

[You smiled gently, and the black piece fell again, like a breeze blowing away the mist on the chessboard, revealing the "waves" inside.]

[The woman couldn't help but yelled angrily: "You learned my chess skills!"]

[Su Yun was surprised to find that this chess game was surprisingly similar to the previous one, except that the two sides had swapped roles.]

[You used the formula that Chen Jiuyan had used before: "If you have the skill to slay a dragon, a dragon will be born!"]

【Take the woman by surprise by giving her a taste of her own medicine.】

[If you play a dozen more moves, a "strong dragon" with ten pieces connected to each other will have secretly formed in the middle of the chessboard.]

【Chen Jiuyan only discovered this change at this time, but it was too late. The "dragon has already coiled around the mountain" and there is no possibility of shaking.】

[She had been so confident just now, but now she was in a state of complete defeat and powerless to recover.]

[You smiled softly and said, "All is fair in war!"]

[Chen Jiuyan gritted her teeth. In her life, she would say "All is fair in war" to those uncles and uncles when they were playing chess, and then enjoy their sighs.]

[However, today, she suffered retribution in this life. This sentence was actually used on her. ]

[“Come again!”]

[Su Yun looked at Princess Kangle, who looked unhappy, and couldn't help but feel a little pleased.]

[For a long time, he had been beaten by her under the chessboard, unable to lift his head, crying and wailing, but he didn't dare to complain to his grandfather.]

[I didn't expect to meet someone who could defeat her on the chessboard today. 】

【Xie Xuan finally had an expression of disbelief on his face. His careful planning and almost flawless opening just now had been overturned just like that.】

[The woman watched you pick up the black pieces slowly and steadily, and then she helped you throw them into the jar.]

[“I won’t be careless this time.”]

[The eighth round begins! ]

【You can do whatever you want, just play chess. 】

[The woman changed her style of play again, starting the game very quickly, accumulating small advantages through exchanging pieces, and then slowly magnifying the advantage.]

[Instead of just attacking, choose to strike back, dismantle the opponent's moves, and wait for the opponent to make a mistake before accumulating momentum. ]

[Su Yun watched Chen Jiuyan change his style in almost every game, and couldn't help but admire him. You know, it takes time to become familiar with and master a variety of chess moves, and you need to learn from many people and integrate the strengths of hundreds of schools.]

[This princess has been playing chess since she was young. In addition to her extraordinary talent, it is also inseparable from her hard work. ]

[Su Yun looks at you again, his expression getting weirder.]

[Your chess style has also changed, becoming plain and simple, focusing on actual battles, and every chess piece you place seems to have a special meaning, making it hard to figure out.]

[This is not the chess move Chen Jiuyan made in the last game! ]

【Xie Xuan was standing by, and couldn't believe it. You could actually play this kind of chess. This is his favorite style of chess, which focuses on the construction of the middle and the overall shape. The style of chess is gorgeous, and the power comes at the end.】

【"this……"】

[After several dozen moves. ]

【Xie Xuan picked up the already cold tea and drank it in one gulp. He didn't even notice how bitter the tea was.】

[How is this possible? Your moves seem to be even more "wild and unrestrained" than the woman's in the last game, like "antelope hanging on a horn".]

[Interlocking with each other, the exquisiteness has a "sweet aftertaste". 】

[How could a bastard like you come up with this? ]

[In the middle of this game, the two sides are evenly matched and it is difficult to tell who is better. ]

[The woman had to change. The white piece entangled closely with the black piece and disrupted its path, but in the end she still couldn't break free.]

[He made dozens more moves.]

[As the finale approaches, you have a huge advantage. 】

[The woman stopped making moves and stared at you, questioning:]

[“Were you hiding your abilities on purpose at the beginning?”]

[You shook your head and said, "I am just asking for advice humbly. Master Yan has given me careful guidance."]

[The woman looked at you calmly, her face turned pale and blue, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.]

【So far, eight games have been played, with half wins and half losses, a tie.】

【The woman takes a deep breath.】

【"continue!"】

[Su Yun was a little bit unbelievable. Xie Guan lost all four games at the beginning, but now he won four games in a row.]
