Arriving at the Dahua Chess Hall, Xia Shang met with the current Dahua Chess Master alone.
Xia Shang never thought that one day he would become the guest of the chess master. This feeling is still very strange.
Outside the room, Yang Shang was being questioned by a group of old men from Dahua Chess about everything about Xia Shang. Yang Shang took the trouble to explain to them everything that happened today.
Lu Ling poured tea for her idol Brother Xia in the room, and then stood aside silently and watched.
The chess master is a semi-paralyzed old man. He can hardly move the left side of his body, so his sitting posture in the wheelchair seems a bit strange.
The environment of the room is very good and unique. You can see some Japanese style in some places.
For example, the wooden door on their side is push-pull, and there are no walls on the entire side. Pushing the door open is a small courtyard, with a strong fragrance of flowers and plants in the wind and snow, which makes people energetic.
Nie Changsheng did not speak immediately, but just looked at Xia Shang.
Xia Shang was a little embarrassed to be watched like this, and asked casually: "Senior Nie, the layout of this room and the structure of the garden outside seem to have the characteristics of the Japanese country. Does it mean that senior Nie likes the style of the Japanese country?"
Mr. Nie was silent for a while: "I just remind myself all the time that Japanese chess players grew up in such an environment."
"There is nothing wrong with liking the architectural style of the Japanese country. I like it very much, but I also like the style of Dahua. This is not a contradiction." Xia Shang knew that Nie Laoyan was not sincere, and he was probably worried that his preference would cause some problems if it spread to the outside world.
Bad sound.
Mr. Nie's eyes became brighter, as if Xia Shang's words surprised him.
Xia Shang touched the chessboard in front of him. It looked full of age, but it was extremely smooth.
Then, Xia Shang's eyes fell on the chess box, and he was a little surprised: "Is this Yunzi?"
Mr. Nie forced out a smile: "It seems that Xiaoyou Xia is indeed a master of chess. Even the Japanese people don't recognize this marble chess piece. There is only one box in the world, but Xiaoyou Xia can see through it with just one word."
Xia Shang said in his heart that he had a box before, and this Yunzi was a treasure, extremely precious.
In that era, everything was machine-made, which cost nearly 10,000 yuan. Nowadays, it can only be polished by hand. I wonder how much manpower and material resources it consumes?
The chess master is really a chess master. This chessboard and chess pieces are definitely worthy of being a chess master.
Unparalleled in the world.
"I wonder where Xia Xiaoyou studied?" Suddenly, Mr. Nie started to ask.
"If you don't have a teacher, you will be self-taught."
Mr. Nie frowned and sighed: "Since Xiaoyou Xia doesn't want to say it, then let's not say it. It's just that I still can't figure out why Xiaoyou Xia's moves are different from those we commonly see, but yet
Does it seem familiar again?”
"What Mr. Nie said is that the set style is different from the present, right?"
Mr. Nie thought for a while and nodded: "That's okay."
"Nothing is permanent in the world, and the formulas handed down from ancient times are not necessarily correct. When we study chess games, we must find the shortcomings of our predecessors and correct them. Therefore, formula one is an infinite deduction process.
The courage to break the rules and find better moves is the root cause of improving chess skills."
"Breaking the formula..." Mr. Nie took a slight breath, "We have always played chess according to the formula, but we have never thought about the right or wrong of the formula."
"There is no right or wrong in Go, nor good or bad, only good and better. There are many answers to many things in the world, and choosing the best answer is what we players pursue. My chess is
It evolved from the contemporary set style. It may not seem to be much different, but in the end it is better than the contemporary set style. Every point is better, and when accumulated, it will naturally be a huge advantage."
Mr. Nie nodded, his expression did not change much, and he just said calmly: "It's a pity that I am already old. If I had met Xiaoyou Xia a few years ago and heard these words from Xiaoyou Xia, I might be able to help the Dahua chess community do more.
things."
"Mr. Nie is too modest. I have never met Mr. Nie, but I have heard of Mr. Nie's deeds and know that Mr. Nie has done a lot for the Chinese chess world."
"Okay, now let's talk about the serious stuff. Xia Xiaoyou is the first young man who can be admired by my apprentice. He said that you might be able to beat the Japanese chess players in the cultural meeting. Now I think
, Xia Xiaoyou does have this possibility... No, he should be confident enough. If Xia Xiaoyou can defeat the Japanese chess players in the cultural meeting, it will be regarded as revenge for the Japanese chess players who swept Dahua twenty years ago.
"
"Mr. Nie, it's better not to have too much hope. It's true that I beat the female chess player, but her chess ability should be weaker than the players who participated in the cultural conference.
She also said that among the representatives of the Japanese country there will be the number one chess player of the younger generation of the Japanese country, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to win by then."
"Although there are many masters of chess in Japan, even the top one among the younger generation would never have such exquisite moves as Xia Xiaoyou. I know Xia Xiaoyou's chess skills well, so there is no need to worry."
He didn't expect that even the chess master would value him so much, which made Xia Shang feel a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, Xia Shang smiled bitterly: "You can't tell a person's strength or weakness just by looking at one or two games of chess. To be honest, juniors only have extraordinary strength in the layout stage. Once they enter the middle game, they will...
My shortcomings, especially in the closing stage, are my weakest points. The reason why I was able to beat the female chess player was mainly because the opponent's mentality changed at the beginning. If she could grit her teeth and persevere, the final result would actually be
You can’t say for sure.”
Mr. Nie frowned after hearing this: "The layout is strong, but the middle game and ending are weak... Well, let's try it out in a round."
Xia Shang naturally wanted to try playing chess with a chess master, and also wanted to know what it was like to have the best chess skills in the modern era.
The sound of the clouds falling on the chessboard was as clear as the playing of a musical instrument. When they heard this sound, everyone outside the room knew that a game of chess had begun inside.
Yang Shang wanted to go in and see with his own eyes, but he didn't dare to do so. He could only listen to the sounds of the chess pieces outside and worry.
An hour later, Xia Shang came out of the house with a smile on his face.
Yang Shang asked hurriedly: "What's the result? Win or lose?"
Xia Shang shook his head: "I lost."
"Hey! It's a pity...but it doesn't matter. After all, he is my master, the number one person in Dahua."
"But Mr. Nie said that if you want to beat other Japanese chess players in Zaiwenhui, you must beat him."
Yang Shang's face was full of worry: "Yes, it is not easy to beat the Japanese chess players. Twenty years ago, the master only defeated the two weakest Japanese chess players. Twenty years have passed, and I heard that the Japanese chess players have improved again.
, many of the young chess players are better than those who were twenty years ago."
"It doesn't matter. Although I lost to Mr. Nie, Mr. Nie also pointed out my shortcomings. As long as I can avoid my shortcomings, Mr. Nie said I can still win in the cultural meeting."
"But there are only two days left. Can two days make up for the shortcomings?"
