Chen Ang also showed a curious expression on his face.
The endgame of chess is a very interesting way of arranging chess.
The more famous endgames are usually Jianghu games, which are characterized by a novel and concise structure, giving people the illusion that they can win by just following the generals, which is quite tempting.
In fact, the chess game has endless changes, profound twists and turns, and clever traps to lure people into their traps.
Jiang Fan was deeply impressed by the fact that when he was a child, there were often homeless people sitting on the street corners.
Then set up a messy game, basically one dollar a time, and at the end of the day, you can always get a harvest of dozens of dollars.
It is almost impossible for people who do not study the endgame deeply to win in this kind of endgame.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan chuckled, bent down and took down all the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then laid out the 'Gathering of Seven Stars' in his own world, the first of the four major endgames of chess.
A famous chess game that has been widely spread among the people since the Qing Dynasty, it is even known as the "King of Chess Games".
Because the chess map is composed of seven chess pieces from the red and black sides, and the final ending usually ends with a total of seven chess pieces from both sides, it is also known as "Seven Star Chess", "Seven Stars in Jianghu" and other names.
Seeing Jiang Fan quickly setting up the 'Gathering of Seven Stars', Hong Qigong glanced at it and said disdainfully: "What kind of endgame is this? Whoever makes the move first will win. Is there anything easy to explain?"
Chen Ang agreed very much and agreed: "Yes, it is obvious that whoever plays this game first will win. I don't see any need to solve it."
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Fan asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm sure. You can see the chess game so clearly at a glance. What's so uncertain about it?"
Hong Qigong snorted and said rather disdainfully.
"Okay, I'll hold the black one, and you'll go first with the red one. Come on."
Jiang Fan made a gesture to Hong Qigong.
Hong Qigong couldn't help but curled his lips, and without hesitation, he directly raised his car in the third position to the top, and said proudly: "General, isn't this going to kill you?"
"Seventh Uncle, don't talk too much. Many times... the victory that can be seen at a glance often hides a trap that can make people fall into the abyss."
While Jiang Fan was speaking, he directly used the bishop on his chessboard to fly away the rook that Hong Qigong had climbed to the top.
This move was completely beyond Hong Qigong's expectation.
After staring blankly for a while, he exclaimed: "It turns out there is an elephant there! I didn't see it! If I had seen it, I definitely wouldn't have left like this! This doesn't count! Do it again!"
Jiang Fan did not refuse. After resetting the chess pieces on the chessboard, he signaled Hong Qigong to continue.
Only then did Hong Qigong and Chen Ang look at the chessboard carefully, and finally discovered that although the endgame laid out by Jiang Fan looked simple, it actually contained a hidden secret.
Almost every move that should be obvious at a glance can be said to contain hidden murderous intent!
Suddenly, the faces of Hong Qigong and Chen Ang became serious at the same time. After pondering for a while, Hong Qigong took a cautious step again.
Directly attacking the general, Jiang Fan took advantage of the situation and used his pawn to eat Hong Qigong's cannon. Without the blockage of the cannon, Hong Qigong was finally able to move his car in position 2 to the top for the general!
"Now, your bishop can't fly to me, right? Even if you play your bishop to block it, I can still capture your bishop and continue to check against you. It's a dead move!"
Hong Qigong said proudly.
"Really? Uncle Seventh, you'd better take a closer look."
While Jiang Fan spoke with a smile, Luoxiang blocked in front of Hong Qigong's car.
Hong Qigong subconsciously wanted to capture the elephant, but as soon as he picked up the chess piece, he heard Jiang Fan calling "general".
General? What kind of general? You can make a general by landing a bishop? What kind of truth is this!
Hong Qigong's eyes were slightly focused. After taking a closer look, he suddenly discovered that as Jiang Fan dropped the elephant, the car blocked behind the elephant was also exposed, facing his general directly!
Died again... again?!
Hong Qigong was stunned, and then shouted again: "No, no! You are too treacherous! This is completely tempting me! Do it again! Do it again, I will definitely win!"
"Okay, okay, you can do it a few more times."
Jiang Fan reset the chessboard again with a smile on his face.
Hong Qigong and Chen Ang became more cautious. After discussing for a while, they finally decided on a new move.
However, he still didn't take more than five steps before Jiang Fan directly backhanded him to death.
Hong Qigong and Chen Ang refused to give up and pulled Jiang Fan down again and again. However, they were always killed by Jiang Fan again and again.
A whole morning passed, and neither of them could move more than twenty steps with Yu Jiangfan's hand in any game!
By the end, Hong Qigong and Chen Ang's eyes were dull, and their faces were full of doubts about life.
"This is wrong! This chess is a dead game! There is no way the red chess can win! It must be like this!"
At noon, Lin Wanru brought over the prepared meals, but the three of them had no intention of eating. Hong Qigong, after doubting his life for a while, suddenly shouted.
"Seventh Uncle, don't talk too much. Do you really think... this game of chess is a dead game?"
Jiang Fan still had a smile on his face.
But when this smile fell into the eyes of Hong Qigong and Chen Ang, it was already full of despair.
After hesitating for a moment, Hong Qigong gritted his teeth and said: "I'm sure! This game must be a dead end! Otherwise, it makes no sense that Master Chen and I have been thinking about it for so long, but we still can't find any chance of winning!"
"Okay then, come on, Uncle Seventh, you hold black, I hold red, let's play it again."
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
"Come on! I don't believe it! Can you win if you hold the red hand?"
Hong Qigong changed places with Jiang Fan with a suspicious look on his face.
Then Jiang Fan started to take action, while Hong Qigong discussed with Chen Ang and dealt with it extremely carefully.
Of course there is a solution to the 'Gathering of Seven Stars'.
It’s just that the solution is very cumbersome, requiring a total of more than forty moves without any mistakes!
When Jiang Fan was a child, he loved chess very much and studied some classic endgames. Among them, the Gathering of Seven Stars was highly praised by Jiang Fan.
If you want to win with red, the most important thing in this endgame is to understand the principle of give and take.
Only by giving up the pieces first can the whole chessboard be brought alive! Otherwise, no matter how you play, Black will definitely win in the end!
He and Jiang Fan walked step by step. Every time they took a step, Hong Qigong had to discuss with Chen Ang for a long time.
But at the end, when Jiang Fan completed the most important move of general, Hong Qigong suddenly discovered that his black chess piece had really been lost?!
What's going on?!
"If you want to take something, you must give it first. Only when you are willing to give it up, you can get something."
Seeing Hong Qigong in a daze, Jiang Fan said something.
Hong Qigong, who was in a daze, was shaken all over, and his eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying light!
