Chapter 4297 4299 [Betting on a Round]

After dinner, the two set up the chessboard, black first and white second, and started to fight.

Xiang Nan had inherited Ji Xiaolan's skills in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. Later, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he became friends with Huang Yaoshi and inherited a lot of his skills.

Then in the world of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", he learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, flower planting and civil engineering from Wuyazi and the Eight Friends of Hangu. Later, he inherited the talents of Li Xunhuan, the third place winner, and Gu Xichao... He was already very proficient in the art of chess.

In addition, his IQ has reached the limit of ordinary people, which makes it easier for him to plan and plan, which is beneficial to his improvement in chess.

What's more terrifying is that he also secretly put on photon computer glasses. Photon computers can calculate 10,000 Jing per second, far exceeding today's supercomputers.

In 2020, AI has already surpassed all chess players. By 2078, AI's capabilities will naturally be stronger, reaching an unimaginable level.

Therefore, Xiang Nan now has three people in one, and beating Chai Shao is just like playing.

Chai Shao thought that Xiang Nan was born in poverty and didn't even know what Go was. He had never read the chess records of famous masters, read "Go Classics", "Go Disease Method", "Go Review Essentials", and had never read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Tai Gong's Art of War", "Seven Military Classics"...

Therefore, in terms of chess skills and strategies, he should be far inferior to himself, so he is ready to abuse Xiang Nan and grow his prestige.

At the beginning of the game, Xiang Nan put the chess piece directly in the middle, completely unaware of the chess principle of "gold corners, silver edges, and grass belly" in Go. Chai Shao couldn't help but believe that he was a fool.

...

Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi were watching the game. Seeing that Xiang Nan actually put the chess piece in the center at the beginning, they couldn't help but frown.

Because the center is connected in all directions and is difficult to be surrounded, the masters play chess and first grab the four corners, then the four sides, and finally the center.

Xiang Nan placed the chess piece in the center at the beginning, which shows that he doesn't know how to play chess at all, and doesn't even know the most basic chess theory of Go.

"Mr. Chai, why don't you play chess?" Li Xiuning saw this and persuaded him, "The weather is good today, let's go out for a walk."

"Yes, playing chess is boring, why don't we go out for a walk? I've been in Yangzhou for several days, and I haven't had a good time." Song Yuzhi also smiled.

"It's okay not to play, but he has to admit defeat." Chai Shao pointed at Xiang Nan and said.

"Mr. Chai seems to be sure that he will beat me." Xiang Nan saw this and smiled, "In this case, why not make a bet."

"Bet? What bet, what do you have?" Chai Shao smiled disdainfully.

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling were penniless, even the clothes they wore were given by Li Xiuning, what could they use to bet with him.

"If I lose, this golden armor containing the supreme secret book "The Secret of Immortality" will be lost to Master Chai." Xiang Nan took out the golden armor from his arms, "If Master Chai loses, how about giving me 100,000 taels of silver?"

"Okay, it's a deal." Chai Shao nodded immediately.

He had heard of the name of "The Secret of Immortality", and its value was much more than just 100,000 taels. What's more, he was sure to win this chess game, and he was not afraid even if he bet 10 million taels of silver.

...

The chess game continued.

But the next chess game was very strange, Xiang Nan and Chai Shao almost played their own games.

Chai Shao focused on the four corners, following the chess principle of "gold corners, silver edges, and grass belly"; Xiang Nan, however, was a hammer in the east and a club in the west, and the chess pieces were placed everywhere, which made people completely confused.

Li Xiuning was a little worried when she saw this.

To be honest, although Chai Shao had always been good to her and was her loyal licker, she had no feelings for him at all.

Xiang Nan, on the other hand, although they had only known each other for a few days, her conversation, manners, and talents made her somewhat attracted to him.

In her opinion, although this young man was born in a humble family, he had unlimited potential. Just like a latent dragon ready to take off, it would soar into the sky if it didn't fly.

He was much stronger than Chai Shao, who only relied on the power of his family.

Therefore, seeing him at a disadvantage now, she couldn't help but worry about him.

"What's the matter? Do you know how to play?" The straightforward Song Yuzhi asked directly.

Xiang Nan smiled at her and continued to play.

Song Yuzhi was stunned by his smile.

...

After a while, as the number of chess pieces on the chessboard increased, everyone was suddenly surprised to find that the situation on the chessboard seemed to have reversed.

The chess pieces that Xiang Nan had placed randomly before were actually placed in very critical positions, and each of them blocked Chai Shao's chess path.

As the saying goes, hit the snake at its weakest point. Each of Xiang Nan's chess pieces was placed right at Chai Shao's weakest point, making him unable to move forward or backward, and he was in a dilemma.

In contrast, Xiang Nan's chess moves became smoother and smoother, without any hindrance.

"..." Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi were both surprised.

They didn't expect Xiang Nan to be able to turn the tables. No, to be precise, he had already won. It's just that they didn't realize it at the time.

"How is it possible? How could he predict that Chai Shao would place his chess piece in this position a hundred steps later, so he grabbed the position in advance? Could he calculate the chess moves a hundred steps later?" Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi speculated in surprise.

Playing chess requires calculating chess, that is, predicting the opponent's chess moves and making arrangements in advance.

A good chess player can often calculate more than ten steps in advance, so he can calmly arrange the layout and let the opponent slowly enter his game. But Xiang Nan can calculate a hundred steps in advance, so he is so smart and strategic, it is really incredible.

As nobles, Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi can play chess and calculate chess moves, but they can only calculate 20 to 30 steps.

20 to 30 steps, compared to 100 steps, seem to be only 4 to 5 times less. But in fact, the difficulty increases exponentially.

Therefore, Xiang Nan's chess skills are dozens or even hundreds of times better than theirs, which is simply inestimable, unimaginable, and extremely terrifying.

…

Chai Shao's chess moves became more and more difficult and slower. He felt that the chessboard was full of crises and murderous aura, which made him feel helpless, sweating profusely, and having a headache.

Looking at the chess pieces in front of him, they were no longer black and white chess pieces, but branches and competitors.

He saw that his own store was being besieged and eaten by competitors, resulting in shrinking business, loss of customers, sharp decline in revenue, insufficient income, bankruptcy, and employee separation...

The Chai family, which was once the richest in the world, was also burdened with huge debts and lost everything. His father died of grief, his mother and sisters were sold into slavery, and even sold into brothels to become prostitutes.

The eldest son of the Chai family was forced to live on the streets, begging for a living, being humiliated and miserable.

"I, Chai Shao, have fallen to this point. It is worse than death. How can I live in this world~" Suddenly, he sighed and slapped his forehead with a palm.

Although he was not a top master, this palm was also a thousand pounds of force. If he was hit by it, he would still die.
