Upon hearing this answer, the boss was obviously stunned.
teacher?
Task?
Immediately afterwards, the boss began to carefully look at the young man in front of him.
Is it possible that this child is still a teenager?
If the child's chess skills were not high, the teacher would not give such a task.
Moreover, most people who can play colorful chess have a few brushes. Although they are incomparable with professional chess players, they can still be regarded as "masters" among amateur chess players.
Ordinary children who learn chess cannot play these old tricks.
The boss of Dongsheng Chess Club is also a chess fan. If it wasn't because he likes Go, why would he open a chess and card room focusing on Go?
Mahjong parlor, poker parlor, don’t you want it?
Compared with these two, the Go room is not profitable.
Thinking of this, the boss of the chess club suddenly became interested. In daily life, it is relatively rare for a boy to reach the right level.
"What are you going to do?"
The boss smiled slightly and pointed inside.
"If you play chess here, you'll get five yuan per game, and the winnings will be calculated separately."
As he spoke, he glanced at the money in Li Jie's hand. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was clear.
The money is a bit small.
"I still have money."
As Li Jie spoke, he took another five-yuan note from his pocket.
"Okay, come with me."
The boss squinted his eyes and smiled, everyone who came was a guest.
He is not worried at all about whether the children's parents know about this.
These days, those who have money to send their children to learn Go are mostly from well-off families. This child doesn’t have much money on hand, only about twenty yuan in total.
Even if we lose them all, it's not a big deal.
After a while, the boss took Li Jie to a table by the window. Sitting on the chair was an old man in his fifties.
This old man is a regular player in the chess club. His chess skills are average, neither good nor bad. He is probably at the third-level amateur level.
The boss actually had good intentions in bringing Li Jie to this table.
Ordinary dan dan boys, even if they are young, can probably go back and forth with amateur dan dan.
The old man was playing with the chess board and did not notice the arrival of the boss of the chess club. When he came closer, the boss knocked on the table.
"Old Wang, I have brought you an opponent."
The old man raised his head and glanced, surprised.
"Where are the people?"
"Here it is."
The boss smiled and pointed at Li Jie.
As soon as he saw the child, the little old man immediately became angry, blowing his beard and staring.
"Aren't you just fooling around!"
What does it mean to bring a child here?
If they didn't come here often, the relationship between the two was pretty good, and the little old man would probably think that the boss was being sarcastic.
"Old Wang, please don't be impatient."
The boss smiled coquettishly and explained: "This kid is not an ordinary kid. He is a teenager. Although I have never seen him play chess, his level should not be too bad."
"hey-hey."
As he said this, the boss suddenly thought of something and teased.
"Maybe you, old man, may not be able to do it better than others."
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows.
If what the boss said is true, he is really interested.
He had seen a lot of Duan-chung boys, but he had never played chess with a Duan-chung boy once.
After all, the occasion was not suitable, and he was not too young. If he really played and lost, he would be a bit embarrassed.
If it were here, the situation would naturally be different.
"Kid, come here."
The old man waved to Li Jie with a smile and said in a gentle tone.
"What do you want to do?"
"Hello, grandpa."
Li Jie took a step forward and said politely.
"I'm going to play chess."
Hearing this, the little old man frowned immediately. Although the winnings in playing chess here are not big, they are divided among people.
What does it sound like to learn to play chess at a young age?
Here, he was about to say something, and over there, the boss of the chess club quickly explained.
"Brother Wang, it was his teacher who asked this kid to play colorful chess."
Hearing this explanation, the little old man's brows relaxed a little. In the process of learning chess, some teachers do let their children play colorful chess.
Of course, the jackpots are not big, ranging from a few yuan to dozens.
This small amount of money can not only improve the child's concentration, but also avoid breaking the bones.
Thinking of this, the little old man nodded slowly.
"Okay, I'll play with you for a while."
"However, let me state in advance that the jackpot cannot be too big, and it cannot exceed..."
The little old man stretched out his palm and made a sign of "five", but when he thought about it, fifty yuan seemed quite big for a child.
Immediately, he withdrew three fingers.
"More than twenty."
Li Jie walked around the boss of the chess club, sat down opposite the little old man, and then put twenty yuan into the chess box.
"Twenty then."
Seeing Li Jie's actions, the little old man was happy.
This guy is interesting and knowledgeable.
Throwing money into the chess box before placing colorful flags is one of the unspoken rules in the chess club.
"Then come."
The little old man took out his wallet to get some money, but when he opened his wallet, he realized that his wallet was full of small coins.
I really don’t have anything like this in my wallet at 20.
However, just because he didn't have it in his wallet didn't mean that the old man couldn't do anything. He waved to the boss of the chess club.
"Small plan, bring me a twenty piece."
On the other side, when the little old man took out his wallet, Li Jie couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
I really didn't realize that this old man was still a rich old man. His wallet contained one hundred and fifty bills, and there were quite a lot of them.
At a quick glance, there are at least two to three thousand.
Around 2006, if you had so much money with you, your family would definitely be well off.
In addition, this old man’s wallet is from LV.
These days, I can afford LV, and I am still a young old man, so my family background cannot be described as not bad.
Having money is a must.
Li Jie didn't expect that he would meet a young rich man after just looking for an opponent.
Originally, seeing that his opponent was an old man, Li Jie was prepared to win less, but now, winning more shouldn't be a big deal.
A person who carries thousands of dollars with him and can afford LV will not be able to afford to lose a few hundred dollars.
Of course, winning is one thing, but how to win is another.
This old man has a good heart. If he wins too straightforwardly, he would be a bit sorry for others.
Therefore, Li Jie plans to play this long-term game in the form of guidance.
"Grandpa, let's get started."
Soon, the chess game officially started. Li Jie refused to give in or go first. He used the form of guessing.
The old man took the black lead, and both sides used the conventional wrong-headed opening.
After the four corners were formed, the old man still played chess very quickly.
Although the little old man played very quickly, he was not without a plan. He played in a decent manner, at least he didn't make any big mistakes.
However, this big mistake refers to the fact that based on the chess skills of amateur chess players, in Li Jie's eyes, there are at least three problems.
