After Yi Xiaohai washed his face, he returned to the living room. Li Shian placed the chess pieces on the table in the living room and asked him to sit down.
"Can you play chess?"
"I learned it when I was young, but I wasn't very good at it"
In fact, Yi Xiaohai started learning to play chess at the age of nine, which is considered a small achievement.
Later, when I was in junior high school, I never played chess again.
But his foundation is still there,
No matter how you say it, you can be considered a little master, but Yi Xiaohai still has to be humble.
It¡¯s not because he is low-key, but because he can¡¯t be high-profile in front of Li Shian.
Li Xuanyu told him,
Li Shian has superb chess skills and likes to study. He once won the second place in the Suzhou Amateur Chess Competition.
Although I don¡¯t know the gold content,
But in one city, to stand out among so many players and get second place, the strength should not be underestimated.
Yi Xiaohai doesn¡¯t want to make any mistakes.
He thought that if he was more modest, he could make Li Shian be gentler.
To avoid being abused and humiliated.
But he was overthinking it.
Li Shian asked him to play chess for two main purposes.
They are not familiar with each other. It would be awkward to sit there without finding a topic. Playing chess can ease the atmosphere.
certainly,
There is also a secondary purpose, which is to teach Yi Xiaohai a lesson.
My daughter agrees, but she still feels unhappy.
"As many people joke, raising a daughter is like raising a pot of flowers. When the flowers bloom, a little son-in-law takes the pot away."
Now Yi Xiaohai, a weakling, has taken over Li Xuanyu.
As a scholar, Li Shian couldn't directly scold Yi Xiaohai.
So, he tortured Yi Xiaohai on the chessboard, just to vent his anger.
How could Yi Xiaohai have imagined what Li Shian had planned?
He also hopes that if he is more modest, Li Shian will give in to him.
Soon, he discovered that he looked more like himself.
In the first set, because I hadn¡¯t played for a long time, I was a little uncomfortable with it. I was at a disadvantage at the beginning and lost in the end.
In the next three games, Yi Xiaohai can be sure that he has exerted his full strength.
You can only persist until the middle and late stages.
Yi Xiaohai never thought about defeating Li Shi'an, and he could also see that Li Shi'an wanted to teach him a lesson through the chess game.
¡°It¡¯s not shameful to lose to my old husband, but I can only endure being taught a lesson by my father-in-law.
??????????????????????????? But it¡¯s too shameful to lose with dignity, to be so powerless to fight back.
When the fifth round was set,
The seeds in Yi Xiaohai¡¯s mind started to spin.
Li Shian often reads chess records, and the opening moves usually follow the opening charts.
The roads around a dozen rounds are familiar with light cars, and there is a swing of cope.
Basically, after the start, Yi Xiaohai was at a disadvantage.
As the middle game begins, the chess game becomes more complicated.
At this time, it is necessary to test the overall situation and mental arithmetic skills.
Yi Xiaohai can count three moves when playing chess, but Li Shian can definitely count five moves or more.
And Li Shian can design the offensive and defensive routines of the chess game based on the current situation and let him follow it.
¡°If the rules were followed, Yi Xiaohai wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to resist.
"With absolute strength, we can't fight, so we can only take the wrong approach."
Start the flying knife, then forcibly change the child, and go directly towards the endgame.
Because the endgame has fewer pieces and relatively few changes, the calculation is simpler.
Yi Xiaohai's disadvantage will not be so obvious.
¡¡
Li Shian played the first set with Yi Xiaohai, and it can be seen that Yi Xiaohai's level is not bad.
But because I don¡¯t play it often, I¡¯m a little rusty.
He slowed down to give Yi Xiaohai time to adapt.
After the second set started to show real strength, Yi Xiaohai found it difficult to resist.
With a flexible mind, caution and patience, Yi Xiaohai was able to barely survive until the middle and late stages of the game.
If it is a regular competition and there is a time limit,
Yi Xiaohai, who Li Shian could kill, abandoned his helmet and armor, was defeated, and even doubted his life.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of her heart,
The anger also came out, and Li Shian felt more comfortable.
Yi XiaohaiThe performance also made him quite satisfied.
Playing chess can reveal a person¡¯s psychology from the side.
When you are mentally calm, you can think more deeply about playing chess. If you are in a more impetuous mood, you will not think well.
The main reason why Yi Xiaohai doesn¡¯t think things through very often is because of the level limit, and he can¡¯t take one step at a time and see how many steps he can take.
But Yi Xiaohai is calm and making progress in every game.
This is where the real power lies.
An old saying goes: The quality of chess is like the quality of one¡¯s character.
Facing Li Shi'an, who was far more powerful than himself, Yi Xiaohai was able to remain unfazed by defeat and was still seeking changes calmly.
This is extremely valuable.
Li Shian has already decided to let Yi Xiaohai hold on longer in the fifth set.
After all, you are still young, so you can¡¯t hit him too hard, lest it affect your confidence.
But he didn¡¯t expect that Yi Xiaohai¡¯s starting style suddenly changed.
??The layout of flying knives, frequent exchanges,
Li Shi'an frowned frequently. Could it be that Yi Xiaohai's calmness just now was just an act?
Now you can¡¯t help but become impatient?
If this is the case, Li Shian will be a little disappointed.
But soon, he discovered something was wrong.
Because two people actually ended up in an endgame!
To know,
His level is definitely capable of crushing Yi Xiaohai in the mid-term, but he was unexpectedly pushed to the end by Yi Xiaohai.
Although part of the reason was that I was distracted and did not pay attention to Yi Xiaohai's sudden change,
But Yi Xiaohai is already very good at being able to get down to this point.
This is like a tractor chasing a car, but it is overtaken. It is a truth.
Yi Xiaohai persisted until the end of the game and had hope of winning.
But in the end we lost.
Lost in basic skills,
Because the most important test in the endgame is basic skills,
For example, how can a single horse defeat the opponent's single warrior, how can the artillery be high, how can one defeat the opponent's knights, how can a rook defeat both horses and two warriors, etc.
This requires special homework, Yi Xiaohai can't compare to Li Shi'an.
But he was very successful,
Because Li Shian is already very satisfied with him.
Being able to come up with plans to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses in a short period of time when being suppressed,
Li Shian really admires Yi Xiaohai.
It seems that Yi Xiaohai¡¯s success is not accidental.
"Brother-in-law, your chess skills are quite good. You can actually play like this with my dad"
It was almost noon, and Li Xuanyu finally got up.
After she finished washing, she took a comb and combed her hair while watching them play chess.
Because she only saw the middle and late stages of the fifth game, she had the illusion that Yi Xiaohai and Li Shian were playing against each other.
In fact, the level of the two people is too different.
Yi Xiaohai was really humble this time:
"Uncle asked me to"
He can¡¯t be humble,
??It took the strength of nine oxen, two tigers, and ten elephants to persist for such a long time.
The level is simply incomparable to Li Shian.
If he were a little prouder,
¡°What if Li Shian gets upset and tortures him a few times?
