Chapter 9: You Win

  ♂?,,

  Lin Hong did not lie, he really could not play chess because no one taught him to play chess in his daily life and he had never read any books on this aspect.

  "Playing Go is actually very simple." Old Sun said with great enthusiasm, "You should know the multiplication table, right?"

  "Hmm." Lin Hong nodded.

  "Here's a chess proverb for you, just follow it and you'll be fine. Remember: The advisor and minister don't leave the old king's side, the horse jumps diagonally like a flying day, the chariot walks straight roads and the cannon flips over mountains, the soldiers face forward with their backs to home."

  "Listen, I'll tell you slowly. This is the center of the entire chessboard, they can only move within their own castle and need to be protected by many pawns. The advisors are like the king's personal bodyguards, their range of movement is even smaller than the king's, they can only move along these few diagonal lines..."

  Old Sun started with a sentence of chess mouth, slowly giving Lin Hong the basic moves of playing chess, listening to it once, Lin Hong basically understood it.

  The two men started their first game of Go. According to Old Sun's previous statement, he would give up one character from his car, horse and cannon, and let Lin Hong go first.

  Lin Hong played Go for the first time, starting cautiously, and through continuous contact and exploration, to put into practice the theory that Old Sun had just explained.

  Facing an opponent weaker than himself, Old Sun's mood was great, and he played more relaxed than before. Each time he made a move, he didn't think too much, while continuing to guide Lin Hong, he started talking about the grand principles of life.

  "This chessboard is small, but it actually contains all things and changes are endless. As the saying goes, life is like a game of chess, and the pieces represent everyone. Some people have smooth sailing all the way, just like a car driving on a straight line; some people make progress every day, just like a horse galloping through the days; and there are also those who command thousands of horses and soldiers, sleeping in deep palaces..."

  "Bang—"

  With a soft sound, Old Sun suddenly saw Lin Hong's small hand take away his "handsome".

  Lao Sun's eyes widened as he took a glance at Lin Hong, then looked back at the chess pieces on the board, only to discover that an unknown number of moves ago, a double cannon situation had already formed.

  "Huh...that...why didn't he shout 'General'?" Old Sun's facial muscles twitched involuntarily several times.

  "General?" Lin Hong didn't know what it meant.

  "That's right. When you're about to capture the opponent's general, you should shout 'general' first to remind them, rather than just quietly capturing it. This is a custom passed down from ancient battlefields and is the basic etiquette of playing Chinese chess." Old Sun said this with a straight face, "So, this time doesn't count because I didn't say 'general', let's start again."

  After finishing speaking, he messed up the chess pieces and started arranging them again.

  "Oh, I see." Lin Hong nodded in understanding.

  This round still follows the old rules, Old Sun lets out the chariot and cannon, letting Lin Hong go first.

  Lin Hong didn't hesitate and directly used a central cannon, this was the previous move of Old Sun, he thought it was very good, so he directly used it.

  Lao Sun Tou glanced at him and thought to himself, "He's quite good at escaping, I wasn't careful enough just now and didn't notice, letting him slip away. This time, watch me kill him without leaving a single piece behind."

  Then Old Sun also fired a central cannon.

  Lin Hong continued with the left horse, which was Old Sun's recent move.

  Old Sun Tzu remained silent and came out with his right horse.

  The two men stopped talking and started fighting in silence.

  This time, Lin Hong's movements were obviously more skilled, no longer as timid and hesitant as before, but he was still mainly on the defensive, being suppressed by Old Sun.

  For a time, only the sound of "slap slap slap" was heard continuously on the field. Old Sun became excited and completely forgot who he was playing against, nor did he hold back any strength, and he fought fiercely with Lin Hong. The two men constantly exchanged chess pieces.

  "Eat horse! Haha!"

  Lao Sun loudly shouted and used his "car" to capture Lin Hong's last remaining "horse", instantly bursting into excited laughter, because next, he could also take out Lin Hong's central cannon.

  Lin Hong saw this and didn't rush, but instead moved the cannons that had been hidden on the left side to the middle, saying:

  "General!"

  Old Sun was taken aback and thought it was over, so he quickly set up the elephant-shaped shield to block it.

  "Bang!"

  Under Lao Sun's painful gaze, Lin Hong destroyed his mighty "car" with one shot.

  "General." Lin Hong said again.

  No choice, Old Sun could only once again use "shi" to block it.

  The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, Lin Hong launched a fierce attack, while Old Sun had to parry continuously. In the face of Lin Hong's constant "General" cries, Old Sun finally had no choice but to surrender.

  A clever move, "Abandoning the horse to attack from the side and kill"!

  Lao Sun suddenly came to his senses and was extremely shocked to discover that the horse just now was only a bait thrown at him by the opponent, and he had taken the bait obediently, immediately falling into an irretrievable situation.

  Lao Sun felt suffocated and luckily Lao Xu was not around today, otherwise he would have laughed his teeth off.

  Is this kid pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?

  He stared at Lin Hong with a puffed out chest and wide eyes: "Are you sure it's your first time playing Go?"

  "Yes." Lin Hong looked at him with a very innocent gaze, "Grandfather Sun, playing Go is really fun."

  "I don't believe it! An old man like me with at least 40 years of chess experience actually lost to this young whippersnapper!"

  Old Sun's stubborn temper flared up, and he said: "This game counts as a win. However, we have to play three games with two wins, and you still need to win me at least one more game to be considered the winner."

  Lin Hong said he had no comment.

  Re-arranging the chess pieces, Old Sun hesitated for a moment and said: "In order to be fair, we will both go all out in this game and not let each other's pieces... Moreover, I have already taken the lead in the first game, so I'll start this one."

  After finishing speaking, he glanced at the gate and then calmly took back the car, horse and cannon that had just been taken out.

  Lin Hong said it was fair this way.

  Both sides start again, Lao Sun Tou fires the first shot and comes up with a central cannon formation once more.

  Lin Hong followed closely behind, also being the central cannon.

  Next, Old Sun Head comes out with a left horse, and Lin Hong also comes out with a left horse.

  He came out with his car, and Lin Hong also came out with his car.

  ……

  "Kid, can you play chess or not?"

  Lao Sun finally couldn't help but burst out when he saw his opponent always following him with exactly the same chess moves.

  Lin Hong shrunk his head and asked: "Grandfather Sun, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

  "...Old Sun was a bit frantic in his heart, but he couldn't find anything wrong. After all, Lin Hong's every step had not violated the rules. In the end, he could only say, "Nothing is wrong, let's continue."

  Lao Sun's patience finally ran out and he started fighting with Lin Hong, exchanging blows without regard for injury or death, directly engaging in a fierce battle.

  The sound of "pa pa" continued unabated.

  ……

  "Hehe, which way is the horse running this time?"

  Lao Sun's excited voice rose again, he picked up his own car and was about to hit Lin Hong's only river horse, but when it was three centimeters away from the chessboard, he suddenly stopped, retracted his car and put it back in its original place.

  "Good grief, almost fell for that trick again! You little scamp, think you can play the same old game? Not so easy!"

  Lao Sun suddenly realized that he was about to make the same mistake as before, so he changed his strategy and went to show off in front of Lin Hong instead.

  However, this seemed to be another turning point, Lin Hong's chess style changed again, and the offensive suddenly became extremely fierce.

  He forced Old Sun to sacrifice his only car and his own car, then started operating the two horses crossing the river on each other's territory, with a mysterious coordination between the two horses, plus the assistance of the central cannon, destroying Old Sun's carefully built defensive situation in an instant.

  No matter how Old Sun responded, it seemed as if he had fallen into Lin Hong's calculations, ultimately forcing him to use his own cannon to exchange for Lin Hong's two pawns that crossed the river.

  "Wow!"

  Lao Sun's head thoroughly exploded, facing the opponent's attack, he had no power to fight back, this chess was really suffocating, worse than the outcome of playing chess with Lao Xu.

  He saw him push his hands forward, scattering the chess pieces all over the floor, and then jumped up and shouted loudly towards the sky.

  Lin Hong was scared again, but he was much better than before. He had already understood Old Xu's temperament and knew that although he looked fierce, he wouldn't hurt him.

  "Grandpa Sun, don't be angry, or else you win, okay?" Lin Hong said with a very understanding tone, "I won't teach you anything anymore."
