After drinking a lot of liquor, people's brains are out of control. Ye An felt it was unreal when he saw the three "old guys" holding each other's backs.
Under the influence of alcohol, a eunuch, a Taoist priest, and a scholar, three people who had basically nothing to do with each other and had no conversational skills, drank happily and talked about some random words.
Wang Yuan even pulled Ye An and forced him to play a game with him on the chessboard.
Ye An looked at Wang Yuan, who was dizzy from drinking, and shook his head slightly. Playing chess now is a bit bullying, not to mention that his chess skills are not bad, he is between the seventh and sixth dans of amateurs, and even the second dan of professional junior dans.
They can also be equally matched.
After seeing the Go games of this era, Ye An was no longer interested in Go, because the methods and rules for playing Go in this era were similar, but unfortunately the game played was a gentleman's game.
What the two sides care most about is not the final count, but the "big dragon" that strangles the other side. This is almost a perverted obsession for the Song people!
So when Wang Yuan held a wine cup in one hand and strangled Ye An's "big dragon" triumphantly with the other, Ye An had already occupied the corners of a large area, while Tian Yuan, Zhongfu, etc. in the middle had already been strangled by Wang Yuan.
"Little friend, as of this chess game, your big dragon's life will be short-lived!"
Ye An was still occupying the eyes crazily on the side. The old guy drank too much and could only see the big dragon on the chessboard. But in Ye An's eyes, he occupied more eyes and ate more of Wang Yuan's ones in the corner.
The chess pieces are the most important.
Xuan Chengzi and Lan Jizong squinted at the chess game. They had heard about Wang Yuan's chess skills, and it was said that he was one of the best national players in the capital.
Seeing Ye An's big dragon being strangled, he didn't care at all. Xuan Chengzi shook his head slightly: "I'm almost losing, but I still care about the little land in the corner!"
Lan Jizong glanced at it and smiled: "A certain family doesn't know the ways on the chessboard, but they can see that Mr. Yuanbo is calm and composed, and nephew Ye Xian is trembling!"
"Gee... He is so short-sighted!"
Wang Yuan took a sip of the wine with a smile, smiled slightly when he saw Zhan'er's nervous look next to him, raised his hand and dropped the white piece in his hand into the chess eye.
So Ye An's dragon was immediately strangled, and Wang Yuan smiled proudly: "Nephew Ye Xian? Accept the concession!"
Ye An didn't care. He didn't stop, but continued to make moves. He smiled and said, "Mr. Yuanbo, are you still happy to strangle the boy's dragon?"
Wang Yuan smiled and said nothing. But Ye An's next words suddenly shocked him: "The victory or defeat of Go depends on the eyes, not the big dragon? Sir, it was fun to strangle the boy's big dragon, but it's a pity that the eyes on the chessboard
The number seems wrong!"
"Um?!"
Wang Yuan was slightly startled. He put down the wine cup in his hand and carefully observed the changes in the chess game. Xuan Chengzi and Lan Jizong on the side also stared at the chess game.
Sure enough, it seemed that Wang Yuan had the advantage on the chessboard, and Ye An's big dragon had been strangled. However, in fact, this was not the case. Ye An had already occupied a large amount of ground in the corners!
Wang Yuan dropped the white piece in his hand and looked at the chessboard and murmured: "How is this possible?! How could this happen?!"
Ye An shrugged helplessly.
The winning or losing of Go is not calculated based on the number of dead pieces? It is calculated based on which of the two sides encircles the larger space in the end.
Therefore, even if Wang Yuan ate one of his big dragons, he lost the competition for other areas. In the end, he only got the space gained by eating the big dragon, but he still had the advantage by encircling a larger space.
Of course, if the dragon Wang Yuan eats is big enough and he can't compete with it even if he surrounds the space outside the dragon, then Wang Yuan will win.
What a pity? From the beginning, Ye An’s purpose was not to strangle the identity of the dragon, so he would not “make” his dragon bigger......
Go emphasizes the coordination of general trend and strategy. In terms of general trend, Ye An is not enough to compete with Wang Yuan. What if it is just about the fight between two big dragons? Ye An believes that he should have surrendered long ago.
But what is a pity? I am learning modern Go? All kinds of deceitful methods, mind-consuming moves, and kills are all things Wang Yuan did not expect.
He did not want to attack him in the corner, but focused more on strangling the dragon.
Ye An's moves in the corner were quite sharp, and he even focused on robbing, looking for robbing, responding to robbing, throwing robbing, and throwing robbing. However, in the center of the field, he was very slow and unhurried, even if he found that the dragon was strangled.
Not too many attacks.
Therefore, the chess game that originally seemed to be a sure win for Wang Yuan changed dramatically under the influence of Ye An's hammer and stick.
If Wang Yuan was not so obsessed with strangling Ye An's dragon and fought hard with Ye An in the corner, the final outcome would definitely not be like this.
Raising his hand to throw the chess piece on the chessboard, Wang Yuan's beard moved automatically as he glared at Ye An and said: "The vertical chess moves are weird, the skills are biased, there are many deceptions, and the methods are sharp. He is a great junior! But you are a great junior!"
The way of playing chess is not that of a dignified person!"
Ye An smiled and said: "Those are two things. What you pursue in playing chess is the pleasure and comfort of strangling the dragon. What I want in playing chess is winning or losing!"
Wang Yuan gave a bitter smile: "You know people by watching chess. Young people are bent on winning. But who taught you this chess game? You are too aggressive and you are not a dignified soldier or a righteous flag!"
Ye An was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said: "My elders said that a chess game is like a battlefield. The fight on the battlefield is life and death. Soldiers never tire of deceit. Defeating the enemy is the most important thing. You don't have to worry about other details."
Lan Jizong narrowed his eyes slightly: "The killing spirit is particularly strong, which is not what young people should have. Playing chess is to cultivate the state of mind, not to attack on the battlefield."
Wang Yuan immediately introduced Lan Jizong as his confidant, drank a glass of wine and said: "This is absolutely true! What a gentleman pays attention to when talking is his elegance, and what he compares is his mastery of the chess game within inches of the opponent..."
"What do you have to master... Aren't you the apprentices who lost to me, Xuan Chengzi, a great national player? The general trend? Where is the general trend!"
Xuan Chengzi said with a smile on the side, which made Wang Yuan's old face turn red, and he sighed helplessly: "I am ashamed to be in the same company as you!"
"If you lose, you lose. Are you still planning to deny it? The national champion lost to a young disciple like me, what do you think you should do?"
Wang Yuan said angrily: "What kind of account do you admit?! I have never promised a lottery before, and it's not Guan Pu..."
Xuan Chengzi stepped in and said with a smile: "What do you think? Who in Tokyo doesn't know that you, Mr. Yuan Bo, are a national player and a "chess player" of the Imperial Academy? If they knew that you were defeated by a mere young man,
Then it will definitely......hehehe..."
Wang Yuan's old face turned dark and said: "That's all right, let's recommend this boy to the saint to be a companion in the palace!"
"Why?!"
Ye An screamed in surprise and waved his hands: "Mr. Yuanbo, please don't make fun of me. I don't want this lucky boy!"
Wang Yuan sneered and said: "This is a huge favor, what else do you want to do? Do you dislike the Tian family?!"
Ye An was speechless for a moment. He seemed to have fallen into a trap. He looked at Xuan Chengzi with a mean smile. The old fox looked so proud that his tail was raised!
Lan Jizong, on the other hand, looked pleased, but his eyes were staring at him tightly, fearing that he would "eat him alive" if he didn't agree.
Ye An looked helplessly at the sky, who was winning and who was losing?
Lan Jizong and others left after eating and drinking, but before Wang Yuan went out, he heard Zhan'er and others surrounding them.
"Young master is so powerful that he is invincible even in playing chess."
