Amid the chatter and laughter of the wealthy figures in the audience, the golf cup started and ended.

Elizabeth failed to win the championship in the end, but she came in second and received a bonus of one million.

She hasn't played golf for a long time. Although her extraordinary strength has improved her skills, her skills have declined.

She only received one million, which made her take the bet with Sid Redco even more seriously.

In addition to giant lawns, forests and lakeside, Eden Golf Course also has club building facilities.

After the game, Elizabeth went to the club's locker room, changed out of her sportswear, put on an orange windbreaker and bell-bottom pants, and took Judy and the others to a pavilion by the lake where they had an appointment.

The lines of the wooden pavilion are also simple, and waiters in black formal suits are waiting aside with drinks.

At this time, there was already laughter in the pavilion. Sid and his group had arrived earlier. In addition to the mind-reading man, there were also several young people who came to watch the battle after hearing the news. Although they were not in overdrive, they were all blood eaters. Hope

There are no defective products around De.

"Liz!" Sid shouted again when he saw Elizabeth coming, "The game just now was exciting."

Elizabeth saw that a beautifully designed electronic chessboard had been set up on a stone platform in the middle of the pavilion. The 64 chess positions were clearly demarcated. The chess pieces of the black and white sides had not yet been placed, but were placed next to the chessboard.

"Let's play chess first," she said. A game of chess can last for several hours.

"Okay." Sid nodded with a smile and said to everyone around him: "Liz used to be a chess master."

Anyone who is familiar with that circle knows that Elizabeth Sterling is not only a speedster, she has basically been proficient in everything since elementary school, such as ballet, chess, riding, golf and other games. She has shown great potential.

She is one of those geniuses in overdrive who excels at everything she does.

"It was true before and it is true now," one of Sid's sisters said with a smile.

"I'm afraid she'll forget." Sid sat down on the side of the stone platform, holding a half-full red wine glass in his left hand. He took a black soldier chess piece in his right hand and placed it on the chessboard, "I'll play black chess.

"

In chess, if white moves first, he has the advantage, while black often needs to defend at the beginning and falls into a passive position.

"Yeah." Elizabeth didn't refuse, sat down on the other side of the stone platform, put the sword on the platform, and raised her hand to pick up the white chess piece.

She's not here to compete for the limelight, she's all here to win money.

Sid has always been a formidable opponent on the chessboard, so she accepted any advantage she had.

Judy, Ayako, and Xiaomei all stood behind Elizabeth and watched, but none of them knew chess.

Judy had heard of some of them, but she had never learned, practiced or played them.

Ayako and Xiaomei didn't even know the basic rules before. They knew how to move any chess piece. It was only after Elizabeth mentioned it to them on the way that they got some ideas. As for the various moves, they still didn't know anything about it.

This kind of game, which only rich people can play leisurely, does not appear on the streets or in the cities.

A game of chess can take several hours to determine the winner at any time. It’s scary to think about it. It’s enough to play many rounds of cards.

At this time, they looked at the 64 chess positions, from A to H horizontally and from 1 to 8 vertically, all arranged in 8 squares.

Both sides are placing six types of chess pieces on the chessboard:

King, Queen, Castle (Rook), Bishop (Bishop), Knight (Horse), Soldier

A king and a queen, two chariots, two elephants, two horses, and eight soldiers.

They had almost forgotten what they had just learned on the road. They almost only remembered which side's king had no way out and was eaten, and which side lost.

The blue color of the lake reflects the small pavilion filled with people, and water birds swimming leisurely by make loud calls.

Both Sid and Elizabeth have laid out their chess pieces.

"Do you want a time limit?" Sid asked, letting Elizabeth decide.

"Just play the normal slow chess." Elizabeth responded. Although she wanted to go back to Red Rain House quickly, she did not play fast chess with the opponent.

She knew that the blood-eater's brain calculation power was very high, and that Sid was a third-programmer, and his extraordinary level was higher than hers.

The so-called slow chess has a time limit of 100 minutes for the first 40 moves. If the outcome is not decided, additional moves will be made later.

"Then let's play slow chess." Sid had no objection and took a slight sip of red wine.

At the moment, they set their respective chess clocks to 100 minutes, which was the total playing time for the first 40 moves.

When it is one side's turn to hold the piece, the chess clock starts running, and there is no time limit for thinking. When the piece settles, the chess player presses the pause button on the chess clock, and the other side starts counting down.

If either side's time runs out and they haven't reached enough steps, they lose.

Before the game started, Elizabeth quietly took a deep breath and tried to get it done in the first 40 moves if she had a chance to win.

Because as time goes by, people with higher computing power will be more energetic, which will be difficult for her.

Elizabeth was about to concentrate on the electronic chessboard. The lines of the 64 chess positions were like the grid lines of a matrix, and the shapes of the 32 chess pieces on both sides suddenly changed...

"Is this chessboard a strange object?" she suddenly realized something and asked.

"That's right." Sid nodded. "It can amplify our spiritual feelings and improve the immersion of playing chess. I use it now when I play chess." This also means that this is what I use for this game of chess.

The chessboard is up.

Elizabeth thought about it briefly, this would obviously increase the mental consumption and improve Sid's advantage.

Her chances of winning have dropped again... This already seems like a trap...

But five million, five million, how many children's winter clothes can be exchanged for that?

Even before a game of chess is played, everyone has a chance to win.

"Then let's play chess."

Under the attention of everyone, Elizabeth raised her hand to pick up the soldier in column D, pushed it forward two squares, and then pressed the stop clock.

Start the game first and abandon your troops on the back flank.

This is one of the oldest and most classic closed openings. White attempts to exchange the pawn on the queen wing for the pawn in the center of Black to complete control of the center of the board.

"Liz, when did you start to like to use the Queen's Gambit? I remember that you used to like to use the Emperor to attack when you started first. When playing chess with me, don't be too conservative. Ordinary footwork is useless to me."

Sid's tone was not provocative or sarcastic, but rather instructive, as if this was a battle between teacher and student.

Almost without thinking, Sid moved the knight in column G to the F6 chess square, starting with the rear pawn and Gu Tianzhu defending.

Her own clock started ticking again. Elizabeth didn't respond and pushed the soldiers in column C forward two spaces.

At the same time, Judy and the others were watching carefully, but they had no idea what the situation was on the chessboard.

As the two sides went back and forth, the rich kids watching the game laughed and cheered from time to time, but almost all of them happened while Sid was playing chess.

The mental illusion caused by the strange chessboard is getting bigger and bigger. Each of them can see that this space is like a spiritual network, with lights, shadows and illusions flying in and out.

Those chess pieces seemed to have really turned into huge castles, majestic knights, and soldiers holding swords...

People who watch chess feel extremely stressed, but those who play chess feel ten times more stressed.

After the first 15 moves, Elizabeth's nerves were tense, her forehead felt a slight swelling of pain, and her brain was running at overspeed. However, she vaguely felt that the chess game was not a second, and her footwork seemed to be completely understood by Sid.

Every time she took a step, Sid seemed to be able to calculate all the changes.

She thought for longer and longer, but Sid was still able to do it with ease, and gradually took control of the situation.

This is not only because she has not played chess for a long time, but also because her calculation power is not enough, and her strategy is not good...

Against a player of Sid's level, ordinary footwork is really useless. You have to use new footwork to disrupt the opponent's rhythm...

Elizabeth was a little unaware of the passage of time and was deeply immersed in thinking about the chessboard. However, the next 10 moves still did not get better.

She has fewer and fewer chess pieces and less and less time on the chess clock.

Grid lines extended from the chessboard, cutting the whole world into pieces and making her head swell even more.

"Liz, these chess pieces are different programs." Sid said earnestly, admiring the beautiful scenery of the lakeside with his peripheral vision, "Only those who can use different programs well at the same time can control the chessboard."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sid made another move, and the knight suddenly approached Elizabeth's king, "General."

Everyone around was shocked and praised, "This move is too strong." "Sid, you have never been so good at chess."

Judy's face was expressionless, Ayako and Xiaomei frowned, the beautiful lake scenery and lawn were all gone, have you lost...

"User, I'm sorry." Jianbao said in an electronic synthesized voice, "No chess mode found."

This strange electronic sword made Sid and others' eyes light up, and they all laughed and said it was interesting.

The trend of the chess game is obvious, but check does not mean that the game is over.

Elizabeth moved the king away in silence, her heart sinking, and her forehead was sweating slightly because of excessive thinking.

We can't lose like this, five million, not just five million, we can't lose anyway...

However, she was already in a situation that she was too tired to deal with. She could only care about this end but not the other end. Sid kept attacking, but she could only keep defending, and the number of white chess pieces continued to decrease.

Moreover, she had already noticed a bad situation, but could not spare any chess pieces to deal with it.

She just watched helplessly as one of Sid's soldiers reached the bottom row of her side of the chessboard. According to the rules, this soldier could be "promoted".

That is to say, the soldier who can only move straight forward and move one or two squares at a time is changed from the player to any one of the queen, rook, bishop, and knight, and is not restricted by the existing chess pieces on the board.

.

In chess, the queen can be said to be the strongest chess piece. In addition to not being able to cross the queen, it can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Therefore, most of the promotions are to the queen.
To be continued...
