Chapter 399: The Wisdom of Abandoning Soldiers
Although the molds on the stone table were slightly different from what I remembered, the molds used to make the chess pieces were almost the same.
64 black and white grids make up the chessboard, and the black and white sides each hold 16 pieces. The horizontal axis of the straight line is represented by letters a to h, and the vertical axis is represented by numbers 1 to 8.
Each side has a king and a queen, a pair of chariots, a pair of horses, an object, and eight soldiers. The order of placement is a1, h1 for cannons, b1, g1 for horses, c1, f1 for chariots.
The white king is on the central black square, and the black king is on the white square, with the strongest Queen on the field next to him.
The only condition for victory in chess is to use your pieces to capture the opposite king to win, which is the same as the well-known chess victory method.
"You know something like this?"
Noticing Tu Fu's round eyes staring at the stone table, "Witch" Elena's tone suddenly became hurried.
I don't know whether I regret telling him what happened just now, or whether I regret not telling him earlier.
"Know a little, but only to the extent of knowing the rules and taking a few steps." Tu Fu said this deliberately, although he didn't know why this "chess" was placed here.
But the unexpected appearance of this thing can be regarded as a glimmer of life for their survival.
The chessboard on the stone table is not the original one, the chess pieces of both sides have obviously been passive, and the game has already been played for two rounds.
White's pawn at e2 moves forward two steps to e4, and black's pawn jumps two steps to e5 in the same way.
Then the White Horse (Knight) moved to Nf3, the Black Knight moved to Nc6, and White then moved the White Bishop (Bishop) to b5,
Surrounding the competition for the opponent's pawn at e5, one's own side occupies a favorable position.
On the other hand, Black is going to attack the center on d5. On the d-line, he can obtain the balance of exchange. After the center is closed, he can defend on the king's wing and attack on Hou Yi.
The chess pieces of the two sides will collide with each other at any time, thus forming a very classic opening.
"Spain start?"
Tu Fu recognized this board at a glance. Although his level is average, he had seen many classic chess games when he was a beginner, such as the Scottish opening, the Italian opening, the Hungarian defense, the two-horse defense, and the Sicilian defense...
In fact, after such a long time, Tu Fu had already completely forgotten all kinds of opening attacks of chess.
But ever since he became an extraordinary person, his past memories are like a ruthless treasure house,
It became clearer and clearer in my head.
"Could it be that there were already traversers before me, and they went to the Southern Continent in the Third Epoch, and started the industrial revolution ahead of time, so their technological level was comparable to that of the Northern Continent in the Quaternary Era."
Tu Fu stared at the piece of expectation and thought silently. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was possible.
"That's why we can bring this set of chess rules to the world in advance.
Speaking of which, if this is the prohibition of Whiskey Hill, then can eating the opponent's king make Whiskey Hill return to normal. "
Elena, who heard Tu Fu muttering silently for a long time, encouraged him: "Why don't you try it, anyway, we're just waiting to die here."
"That's right, ladies first, why don't I tell you how to move, and let you complete this game of chess." Tu Fu smiled and proposed in reverse.
"impossible!"
Eileen rejected this idea immediately, she rolled her beautiful eyes: "What if you deliberately trick me, besides, if you follow the rules of chess, I think it can only be played by one person .
I've never heard of someone giving advice while playing chess. "
Hearing the woman's fierce reaction, Tu Fu also let out a heck.
He didn't forget that the other party mentioned that the Rosicrucian Society was directly obliterated by the rules of this place because some people touched this expectation indiscriminately.
In other words, you have to play this game of chess with your life against an unknown opponent, and then win,
It's pretty brutal.
After a few words, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly froze.
Obviously the things in front of them may be the key to breaking the situation, and no one is willing to touch the door of death.
"Although this woman is not a good person, she is right. It is impossible to have a third party pointing at the side when playing chess. Maybe it will violate the rules."
Tu Fu stared at the chess game that had already started on the stone table, and couldn't help but want to make two moves.
He has already laid the groundwork for a chess game in his mind.
At this time, the two sides are in a tentative contest, and no one has an advantage. If it is really the rules of chess, it will be more useful to try to kill the fish and break the net, rather than waste in vain here.
"Professor and the others may be stuck here now, but I can hold on for a while. I'm afraid that if I go out later, these people will all die."
Tu Fu's head was struggling hard, and he didn't want to waste a little time on it.
Many people are waiting for him, looking forward to his return,
It would be too unworthy to die in such a place.
"Fight."
Tu Fu was about to bend his waist and take a step forward, and stood at the white end by a strange coincidence.
"Oh, you are finally willing to go up, I know how a man like you is willing to die here."
"Witch" Elena looked at him with a smile on her face, her eyes full of satisfaction.
"Eileen."
"Ok?"
"Our deal is over. Since you guys dare to do something to me, the previous treaty will be ignored." Tu Fu stared at Hope, and said such an insignificant sentence.
"What's the use of saying this now, you won't want to do anything to a poor, helpless lady again." Elena put on a pitiful look.
"I want to say that no matter what I get in this mountain range later, the Rosicrucian Society has no right to interfere."
As he said this, the cannon in his hand suddenly moved to the position of a4.
It was just this small move that caused a change.
The long silent sky above Whiskey Mountain.
Suddenly, a chariot made of a group of faint blue rays of light appeared, and the rolling wheels made a thunderous sound, jumping up and taking the lead in the battle.
The voice was like thunder, and it immediately reached the ears of the two people who were still in the cave.
After he passed this move, the black side immediately made a move.
I saw the dark horse suddenly jumped when no one was controlling it, and reached the position of Nf6.
At the peak of whiskey, many faint blue rays of light slowly condensed into a violent black warhorse, raised its front hooves and let out a stern roar to the air, and immediately threw itself into the battle.
The change of Whiskey Hill is precisely due to the change of the chess pieces in this game. Many strange creatures hovering in the sky will eventually fight each other as the chess moves are controlled.
"Sure enough, it's the game ban of chess."
After Tu Fu made this move, he immediately comprehended the scene he had just seen.
During the fight just now, many "chess spirits" guarding this mountain range heard the news and moved.
They used the fan of Quechua as a chessboard and many strange creatures as pieces, and set up such a shocking situation here.
What an amazing handwriting.
Tu Fu has never been so serious as he is now. He vaguely borrowed from the chess records in his mind, borrowing their chess moves from famous historical players, and at the same time thinking about the unknown chess moves on the opposite side.
Raise your hand and move the King (King) and rook (Rook) in the first row (King Wing Shift) 0-0, followed by Be7.
6 (Re1, b5),
7 (Bb3, 0-0),
The black and white sides of the chessboard are moving the chess pieces in a regular manner with classic moves, not daring to deviate from the slightest.
Until the eighth round, Tu Fu raised his hand and moved the c2 pawn forward one square to c3.
Suddenly.
The black side moved the pawn down to d7 abruptly, like a boulder thrown into deep water, instantly turning the peaceful battle into a turbulent one.
And Tu Fu's pawn that moved to e4 at the beginning can easily capture that pawn only by moving one square to the side.
After that, his pawn will be eaten by the opponent's knight at f6, and his knight at f3 can easily eat the opponent's pawn at e5, and that pawn is the real target to abandon.
"Gambit?"
Tu Fu pondered the meaning of this move.
In chess, giving up chess pieces is a strategy, and sacrificing a part of pawns can logically open up the back row of queens and gain the overall advantage of the situation.
In other words, what you give is what you get.
Tu Fu understood the opponent's intentions in this move, and played aggressively. With the mentality of a gambler, he went all out in exchange for the overall initiative on the chessboard.
The black chess player seems to intend to send some kind of information to it through this game.
"If you just turn a blind eye to it like this, you will really live up to your intentions."
Tu Fu's eyes were like a torch, he pressed his fingertips on the pawn at e4, moved heavily to the upper left one square, and ate the pawn that was used as bait as he wished:
"So, I accept your challenge."
