With the sound of a gong in front of the arena, the first round of the six-to-four promotion competition ended.
Qiu Lao had a draw with Xiao Fuzi, Zhou Fang was defeated by Jian Xingzhi, and Wang Shaotong was ultimately defeated by Xu Sheng.
After the results of this round came out, there was a huge uproar in front of the square. No one expected that the results of the first round would be like this. It was really an upset.
Zhou Fang, who everyone thought would be a draw, was defeated first, and then Qiu Lao, who thought he would win, was tied. What was even more incredible was Wang Shaotong. Before the war, everyone thought that he was the easiest among the three contests, but it turned out that he was the easiest.
Unexpectedly, he also lost.
"Is Xu Sheng really that powerful?!"
"Isn't it Wang Shaotong who let it slip? He actually lost?"
"Steady, steady... Why are you so anxious in the first game? Maybe Wang Shaotong did this on purpose. He was just trying to test his opponent's depth first, and then the highlight will come. He will definitely be able to come back!"
Faced with such a situation, the chess fans below couldn't help but become nervous.
On the viewing platform, Mr. Wen squinted at the three battles with brilliant eyes. Then he stroked his short beard under his jaw and nodded frequently: "Wonderful, really wonderful... I didn't expect that in this chess game, in such a short time,
There are so many masters in our country, it seems that this chess game is indeed more suitable to be promoted in our Daxuan Kingdom."
When Su Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then asked: "In your opinion, who among these six people will be promoted in the end?"
"Are you taking the exam at the main school?!"
"Sir, you are joking. How dare I test you? I am just out of curiosity..." Su Pingan pursed his lips and smiled, looking shy and honest.
Seeing how naughty he was, Mr. Wen couldn't help but pointed at him and chuckled: "You, you, you..."
But then, Mr. Wen still turned his attention to the three duels, and then his eyes sank slightly, and he said: "Based on the current situation of the first game, in the first game, Wang Shaotong's chess ability is already quite good.
Come on, he had a calm start, meticulous layout, and endless moves, but he met Xu Sheng, who was more calm than him. Judging from the latter's reaction to Wang Shaotong's moves, he knew the former's chess style.
So he was preparing a defensive formation from the beginning, and he was hiding murderous intentions. He was sure that the opponent would not be able to resist attacking, so he had already set up a big net and waited for the opponent to come in.
One side doesn’t know the depth, and the other side is waiting for the rabbit, so the result is naturally clear at a glance... But after the first game of testing, Wang Shaotong must be able to deal with it..."
Listening to Mr. Wen's judgment, Su Ping'an nodded secretly. This situation was basically consistent with his judgment, which showed that Mr. Wen, a chess and literary cultivator, still had quite sophisticated eyesight.
But then, just when he was about to hear the boss say who could advance, the latter changed the topic and avoided the topic, and then turned to comment on the other two games, and in the end he still couldn't say anything.
Who was optimistic about advancing, which left Su Ping'an speechless.
"This old man is too cunning. What he said is the same as what he didn't say..."
This reminded Su Pingan of a sentence in his previous life.
It is really better to listen to your words than to listen to them!
So damn brilliant!
…
Next, both sides rested for five minutes, and then the second round began.
With the experience of the first game, both players on the field now have a better understanding of their opponents, so their next moves have become much more decisive.
At the beginning of the second game, Wang Shaotong changed his chess style from the first game, his whole aura became much more aggressive, and then he made a cold move...
"As soon as the car comes in?!"
"What is Wang Shaotong doing? He doesn't want the horse anymore?"
"Hiss... Could it be that Wang Shaotong is getting impatient and has already lost his position?"
Looking at the chess records posted on the chessboard, and after reviewing the game before the match, the chess fans below the arena were immediately confused.
Including Mr. Wen on the spectator stand, after seeing Wang Shaotong's opening, his brows couldn't help but frowned, "Are you abandoning your horse at the beginning? What kind of opening is he doing?"
Next to her, Liu Qingxi had been silent before and just watched the chess game. In the eyes of outsiders, she might not understand chess, but only Su Pingan, who had played chess with her, knew that this girl's strength was now extraordinary. Even Su Pingan was against
I can’t even say that I will definitely win.
So after Liu Qingxi stared at the chessboard for a while, he said with a sharp look: "No, he is not abandoning his knight, but he is quickly changing the situation of the battle. He is going to make a real move!" Hearing these words, Mr. Wen was even more confused.
.
Abandoning your horse at the beginning of the game is also considered a serious move?!
But only Su Pingan knew that what Liu Qingxi said was right.
In his previous life, Wang Shaotong's move was called the "iron pulley". He abandoned his horse at the beginning, or even abandoned his two horses, in order to quickly pull the big piece, thereby achieving a quick victory.
However, this move is very risky. Once the opponent sees through his purpose or studies the 'iron pulley', he will be directly at a disadvantage and it will be difficult to come back, especially in this kind of game between masters.
However, chess has only been around for a short time in this life, and many of the unpopular chess games in the previous life have not yet appeared. So now that Wang Shaotong’s move is seen, let alone the chess fans below can’t understand it, even his opponent Xu Sheng can’t understand it.
A little confused.
His intuition told him that there must be a scam here, so he stopped there for a while and started taking the long test.
And his reaction surprised people outside even more.
"Hiss... I can't understand what is going on in this round."
"That's right. Wang Shaotong made a move as soon as he came up. Could it be that his move was some kind of subtle and good move? Why didn't Xu Sheng dare to move it?"
"What's there to think about? Just fuck his horse. Wang Shaotong's horse is for free!"
There was a lot of discussion under the ring, which attracted chess fans from other nearby chess boards to also watch. But when they saw that the chessboard only moved one move and did not move, the discussion became louder and louder.
Time passed bit by bit, and the chess games on other chessboards had already entered the middle game. The two sides were fighting fiercely, but Xu Sheng's first move here was still delayed.
But just like that, more and more people are watching under the ring. Now everyone is curious about what Wang Shaotong's intention is to take the lead in this move, and will Xu Sheng take the opponent's horse?
Just when everyone's patience was about to be exhausted, Xu Sheng's first move was finally heard from behind the screen.
Everyone stared at the huge chessboard in front of them and couldn't help but widen their eyes, and then they saw Black's 'cannon' flying all the way and landing directly on the Red's 'horse'.
