Chapter 881 883 Othello

The chessboard that appeared in front of him completely blocked the way for Lin Tianyao and others. This was something he couldn't understand.

The three levels before the Mohist Forbidden Land were basically not restored after passing them. But here, it was obvious that they had passed at dawn, but the checkpoint was still maintained.

It seems that the levels after the gate in the square have completely changed from the previous levels. To get through here, everyone needs to go through it once, rather than being opportunistic.

Lin Tianyao really doesn't have much ability in playing Go. This kind of thing is difficult to understand without a certain amount of time to study.

Therefore, he was in some trouble. This kind of puzzle cannot be passed by destroying it with force. Taking rash actions may be counterproductive.

Thinking about it, Lin Tianyao turned his gaze to Gao Jianli and asked: "Xiao Gao, among the Mo family, you are the best at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. Can you pass this game of Go?"

Gao Jianli looked troubled and said: "Young Master Lin, if it's Go, it's easy to defeat me. But unfortunately... this is not Go!"

When he said this, Lin Tianyao became a little confused. This square chessboard, with black and white chess pieces, is it not Go or chess?

Although he was confused, he still stopped his eyes on the chessboard. After staring at it for a long time, he suddenly realized. This chess game is indeed not Go.

Although Lin Tianyao didn't have any extensive research on Go, he had never eaten pork and had always seen pigs running away. The game of Go is for the black and white teams to use their chess pieces to set up positions and then divide the areas on the board to win. To put it bluntly, both sides are competing for territory.

However, although this chess game looks similar to Go, the double reverse method is completely different from the routine of Go. The distribution of the chess pieces is as chaotic as the stars in the sky.

"Could it be...that this is backgammon?"

Lin Tianyao seemed to have discovered something, and he shouted in a low voice unconsciously. On the chessboard, the formations of the black and white chess pieces are indeed very similar to the rules of backgammon, and they tend to contain each other.

"Tianyao, what is backgammon?"

Lin Tianyao's words aroused Duan Murong's curiosity. She came over and asked curiously.

"Um?"

When she asked this, Lin Tianyao became even more puzzled. Seeing her like this, she didn't understand what backgammon was at all.

As a medical fairy, Duan Murong is naturally well-read and has vast knowledge. She doesn't even know backgammon, so this one must not be the one in front of her. The founder of the Mo family has been dead for so long, and if people don't know about it now, he certainly didn't know about it at that time, let alone come up with it.

Since this is not backgammon or Go, what exactly is it? Lin Tianyao reached out and touched his chin and began to think.

Seeing him like this, Duan Murong knew what was interesting and did not continue to ask further questions, but waited quietly aside.

At this time, Gao Jianli came up and interjected: "Young Master Lin, I have never seen this chess game, but I heard a great master once said that it seems that one side's chess pieces form an angle, surrounding the enemy's chess pieces in the middle, and then it can be transformed! "

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the slanted white chess pieces and said: "The Mohist philosophy is not to attack but to love at the same time. Although this is a fight between chess pieces, the founder does not want a fight to happen, so he created this chess game."

No offense, love both ways!

These four words made Lin Tianyao suddenly realize it. He glanced in the direction of Gao Jianli's finger, and his suspicion was instantly confirmed.

This chess game is neither backgammon nor Go. But an out-and-out Othello!

The so-called Reversi is actually similar to Backgammon. In backgammon, you can win by blocking the first piece of one side's chess piece, and blocking the other side's chess piece before it reaches five. In Othello, it is just the opposite. After one side's chess pieces surround the enemy's chess pieces, they can convert the chess pieces in the corners into their own chess pieces.

This point exactly supports the Mohist proposition. The chess piece wins, not by eating the opponent's chess piece, which is similar to killing. But through transformation, there is no killing, only persuasion.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianyao couldn't help but clapped his hands. Once you understand what kind of chess game this is, it will be easy to crack it.

This Othello is not as complicated as Go. As long as you use the chess pieces to block the position, and then transform the enemy step by step, it is enough to win.

Without staying any longer, Lin Tianyao jumped directly into the control position on the chess game.

However, the moment he jumped into that position, iron shackles suddenly appeared on the control platform, locking him firmly in it.

As the shackles appeared, the walls on both sides began to rumble, and then they slowly attacked Lin Tianyao. On the wall, densely packed iron cones protruded.

This sudden situation made everyone around him stunned for a while. The two girls, Mo Qilin and Duan Murong, were the most excited. They almost screamed.

Lin Tianyao raised his head and smiled at them: "Don't get excited, this is just a test!"

Lin Tianyao was not surprised at all by this sudden situation, but felt that it was natural.

In a place like the Mo family's forbidden area, it would be too boring if you just played puzzles. A little punishment is enough.

At this time, the situation on the field began to change. The squares on the chessboard began to dent one by one, swallowing up all the previous chess pieces.

It was like starting the game again. After all the chess pieces fell into the squares, the chessboard was restored again. And in the center, a white stone suddenly jumped out.

It seemed that this mechanism obviously had no intention of giving in to the challenger. On the contrary, it directly started to take the lead.

Lin Tianyao looked at the small chessboard on the console in front of him, then took out a black stone from the side and placed it next to the white stone.

"Creak!"

The sound of the mechanism was heard, and a sunspot appeared on the chessboard at the same position as Lin Tianyao pressed it. ....
