Zhang Xiaochen was walking on the road with headphones on and listening to music. When he passed by the street, he saw a group of old people surrounding two other old people sitting opposite each other. He didn’t know what they were looking at. Zhang Xiaochen’s curiosity got the better of him when he saw it.
Go up.
There was a game of chess placed in front of everyone. Zhang Xiaochen saw that there were more than a dozen red chess pieces on the chessboard, but there were only a few black chess pieces. At first glance, black chess pieces were a huge disadvantage.
Zhang Xiaochen doesn't know how to play chess, but she can tell the size of the chess pieces. The red square has more soldiers and fewer generals, while the black flags leave all big chess pieces. Zhang Xiaochen found it very interesting to watch. The red square reminded her of polarization.
.
Zhang Xiaochen thought it was quite interesting. She couldn't help but watch and watched for a while. However, Zhang Xiaochen found that the music in her headphones had already changed three or four times, but the old people in front of her could only move the chess pieces.
Four or five steps.
Zhang Xiaochen couldn't help but muttered: "Why are you playing so slowly? You can't finish the game in two hours. It's too time-consuming."
The old people next to him heard this, glanced at Zhang Xiaochen, and then turned back to continue watching the chess game. One of them looked at the kind-faced old man and asked Zhang Xiaochen kindly: "Sister, do you also play chess?"
Zhang Xiaochen shook his head after hearing this, and then responded: "I don't know how to play chess. I can only tell the big and small. I found it quite interesting when I watched it. The chess left on both sides of this chess game feels unusual. I think
Let’s see who will lose and who will win, so I just watched here for a while, and found that I was walking very slowly.”
After hearing this, the old man laughed and said: "We old men had a hard life when we were young, and we didn't read much. Besides playing, we only did farm work. Now that we are old, we can't do any work anymore. We have been able to play chess since we were young, so that's it."
Playing to pass the time, they say life is like chess, but what is life, I have lived for most of my life, and I still don’t understand it.”
Zhang Xiaochen sounded a little confused and didn't know how to respond.
"The college entrance examination is coming soon, right? How are your grades? Are there any chances of getting admitted to a prestigious university?"
"I am not a college entrance examination candidate this year. I have graduated from high school two years ago, and my grades were not bad before." Zhang Xiaochen responded to the old man with an awkward but polite smile, thinking to himself, if I were a college entrance examination candidate, how could I have done it?
I'm here to watch you play chess in my free time. I've already gone to review.
After hearing this, the old man showed a surprised expression on his face, but he quickly came back to his senses.
"It's great to be young. You can go anywhere when you are young. You don't have to have so many worries. Young people today are really free."
Zhang Xiaochen listened to the old man's words without hesitation and didn't know how to respond to him. Then he smiled and said nothing and continued to watch the chess game.
"Sister, do you think the black chess or the red chess will win this game?"
Hearing the old man asking about himself, Zhang Xiaochen looked at the chess game, then thought about it and said, "I think the red chess should win. After all, there are so many more red chess than black chess."
After hearing this, the old man's face did not change and he said calmly: "Young people are indeed young people. They think everything is so simple. Many things cannot be taken at face value. Since ancient times, there have been so many wars where less defeats more.
There are countless of them, but it mainly depends on you, how to go about this road."
Before the old man finished speaking, someone in the chess game called "general". When Zhang Xiaochen saw it, it was actually the old man shouting "general" from the black chess player. This made Zhang Xiaochen shocked: No, I just said that the red chess player won so quickly.
Is Black about to declare victory? The slap in the face is too fast.
