It didn't take long for Bai Yang to play two games of chess here, making the people in the stands stare blankly as if they had seen a strange thing from the Arabian Nights. The red sign held up by the old invigilator dazzled their eyes. No one doubted the invigilator.

Fairness. Even the old man who invigilated the exam could only play a game of chess after several years or even longer. In the land of Dayan Kingdom, he was already famous. Moreover, the list of invigilators was just finalized last night.

The envoys sent by various countries and the important courtiers of the Yan Kingdom sat together yesterday afternoon and agreed on the list of invigilators. Among them, there were two old invigilators from the Nanling Continent, and one from Xiling and Beiling Continent.

When the mission came to Dayan, they were all old men who had the highest attainments in black and white chess. Including the masters of black and white chess from Dayan, there were a total of 15 invigilators.

This is already the strongest lineup to have invigilated the chess skills competition in the five-year general election. Just last night, 15 old invigilators studied together in the middle of the night to play a game of chess, which was the first game that Bai Yang played just now. The layout of the black and white sides was weird and difficult to figure out.

, in the end, an old man was blind. The black and white chess pieces at the front were in a stalemate. Whoever made a move would lose everything. In the end, everyone had no choice. The old man thought for a while and asked, is it a stalemate?

The layout was wrong at the beginning, so I took a few steps behind, and everyone saw the dawn of victory. Unexpectedly, it only took Baiyang a stick of incense to complete the game. And she didn't play in black and white.

The middle stalemate area of ​​two-color chess is a waste of time. Instead, it is re-played in the initial layout stage. After a few moves, the game comes alive. If you follow this idea, the outcome will be clear at a glance.

As for the second game of chess, Bai Yang's move was simpler. She only removed a few pieces that had been captured at the time, but the game was also alive. This result made the old man who invigilated the examination frightened. The chessboard was like a battle between two armies.

On the battlefield, which general is willing to let his soldiers die halfway. Two red tiles have already established the ending of Bai Yang's victory. Because those ladies are still thinking hard on the same chessboard, no one has made any move at all.

Today is a bit colder than yesterday. I don’t know when fine snowflakes fell from the sky. This was originally considered a grand scene in Dayan Kingdom, but no one appreciated the falling snowflakes and all noticed that the competition was in the middle.

The battlefield of the chessboard was being reorganized. Gradually, the old men who were invigilating the examination slowly gathered around Bai Yang, watching how she revitalized the dead and broken chess pieces. Bai Yang also had a sudden enlightenment. Just like that, when the gong sounded again,

Bai Yang has already played 10 games of chess. Everyone on the trapezoidal high platform also stood up and looked at the chess board battlefield below. Bai Yang's maid already had 10 red tiles in her hands. No one dared to question the fairness of this competition, because

They witnessed Bai Yang's chess game with their own eyes.

The sound of the gong also woke up the contestants who were still thinking hard in front of a dead game of chess. The sound of the gong woke them up, but their limbs were stiff from the cold and their hands and feet were numb. The maids and women who followed helped their masters.

Left the chessboard table.

There is no doubt about the result of the chess competition. There is no first, second or third place, but only one absolute first, that is, Bai Yang and the other ladies all have one point.

Looking at the red brand in her hand, the old lady in charge of the endorsement was frightened. According to the competition process, the next step is to ask the lady from Panhuoqi to talk about her ideas and methods. I just discussed it with the judging panel and felt that it is necessary to ask Bai Yang more questions.

That’s it.

"Bai, Miss Bai, when did you learn the art of chess? Who did you learn from? You managed 10 dead games in one go. Please tell me your ideas and methods." The old lady looked at the people standing in front of her.

The eldest lady of Prince Bai's palace, who has a face as beautiful as a spring breeze and is as beautiful as a flower, can't even speak clearly.

"Old grandma, what do you mean by this? Does the chess competition test not only our lady herself but also her master? I have not studied under any chess expert. I have been begging for more than ten years to survive.

It is already God's favor. Regarding the ten games of chess that I played just now, I can say something about it.

The chessboard is like a battlefield, and the two sides of the game are the generals sitting there. There are only careful and ingenious layouts, and there is no real hand-to-hand combat with real swords and guns. This is a battlefield without painful lamentations and blood flowing everywhere. But it is a battlefield for everyone.

Both sides of the game have fully unleashed their brain power and fully exerted their wisdom. Every move has been carefully considered. If you make the wrong move, the whole game will be lost." Bai Yanglian asked and explained, looking at the concubines and ladies on the judging panel, as well as the small vassal country.

The envoy said calmly.

"Miss Bai, I would like to hear your opinion on the first game of chess." The old man who just invigilated the exam asked for advice.

"Old man, I was particularly impressed by the first game of chess. The two sides were equally matched, and the layouts at the beginning were close to similar. Each move was perfect, so in the end the black and white sides were in a stalemate, and both sides of the game were already in a stalemate.

They were exhausted. The process of siege and occupation of the city had almost exhausted their ideas. In the end, no matter which side moved first, they would lose. I think it is better to start from the original layout. If one side changes their thinking, the game will be alive.

If black changes his thinking, black will win, and if white changes his thinking, white will win. I only made some changes to the thinking of both sides during the final layout. Sir, do you think my idea is right?

?”

"Brilliant, brilliant. Miss Bai is not very young, and her chess skills are superb and her psychological analysis of chess players is perfect. I am convinced and impressed."

"Miss Bai, what about the second game of chess? You solved it more easily, but the situation became clear at once." The old invigilator who just bowed to Bai Yang asked for advice and listened like a primary school student.

"Old man, I remember the game of chess just now. I just took away the two pieces that should have died. This is called losing pawns to protect commanders in a confrontation between two armies. But one side of the game refused to throw away this little pawn.

I thought it could block the army behind me. This little pawn did indeed do it. Don't you know that it blocked the general's sight? It blocked that place, which is also called the general's command, and lost the opportunity to observe the overall situation. This lady took him away and that place was a

There is a gap. It will be too late for the opposing general to turn back and make amends. The other party will use this gap to tear apart the battle situation that has been arranged, and victory will be normal."

"Miss Bai, your explanation is clear and correct. But on the battlefield, which general is willing to abandon his own soldiers."

"How can I not understand this truth of the old man, but the battlefield is a battlefield, and necessary sacrifices are inevitable. How can we use a small amount of sacrifices to achieve overall victory? This is the wisdom of the general sitting in charge. After all, this is just a game of chess. Throw it away.

One piece does not have much impact on the entire chess game. The key is that the party making the layout has put that piece in a very important position. When it is time to discard it, it refuses to let it go. As a result, it affects the entire chess game.

victory or defeat."

"Miss Bai, your analysis is too thorough. I was willing to give you the red card."

Next, the old men who invigilated the exam all asked Bai Yang for advice. Bai Yang also answered them one by one without hesitation. Some of these came from the heavenly book in the space that revitalized chess skills. Some of them came from his own understanding and analysis of the battle situation a thousand years later. These are in modern times.

These are all theories in textbooks, but when placed here, they made these ancient people worship them to the extreme.

Finally, the old mama announced that in this chess competition, the eldest lady of Prince Bai's mansion deservedly came first with 10 points. The other ladies all had one point. The gap in scores was obviously widened, and Bai Yang won the top three without much suspense.

Already.

This made those who were plotting against Bai Yang panic. They did not expect that this begging girl was so smart. She said she did not know chess skills, but she could analyze both sides of the chess board so thoroughly. Even if she said she knew chess skills, no one believed that she could play chess.

However, the consideration of chess skills is not just sitting there and playing a dull game of chess, but the understanding of the entire chess skill. Although these people have not given up on plotting against Bai Yang, they still have to admire Bai Yang's wisdom.

In the afternoon, there will be a calligraphy and painting competition. Now all the ladies are feeling fuzzy and have no confidence at all. They don’t know what kind of bizarre questions will come up in this calligraphy and painting competition. I am afraid that the on-site painting that I prepared before will not be used.

. When we gathered together again after lunch, many of the ladies no longer looked as complacent as before.

"Ladies, please stop guessing. The painting and calligraphy competition in the afternoon is even simpler than the chess competition in the morning. Later, you will have to choose a painting that has been made by an expert on the desk in front of you, and also choose a painting that the expert has written.

Good poems. Of course, these paintings are all flawed. Your test question is to improve, revise and copy." The old grandma did not waste any nonsense this time and explained the content of the test very concisely and clearly.
Chapter completed!
