...

"Your gesture is wrong." Gongsun Yan corrected again: "The correct gesture of holding the piece is to use the index finger and middle finger to clamp the chess piece up and down, with the middle finger on the top and the index finger on the bottom."

"Is there anything else to do with the posture of holding the chess piece?" Ou Chuyang asked in confusion.

"Of course it's related." Gongsun Yan said seriously: "A chess player with excellent chess skills must be very consistent and natural and elegant in holding the pieces, because his inner feelings about the chess dominate his gestures and fingers. Every person who pursues the chess will consciously or unconsciously pursue the rationality, nature and elegance of the chess gestures, and strive to make himself like a graceful and free and easy chess person with chess skills and pursuing the chess path."

"Oh..." Ou Chuyang nodded and tried the standardized posture of holding the child. Any skill, as long as it reaches the height of "Tao", must be very particular. This is true whether it is kendo, tea ceremony, or chess.

The two of them placed two black and white pieces at the four stars on the corner of the chessboard, similar to the layout of diagonal stars. Afterwards, Ou Chuyang took the white first.

...

Ou Chuyang plays chess very quickly. As a novice, he thinks that it is okay to play chess pieces anywhere with such a large chessboard, so he will not think about it carefully after repeated thinking.

In Gongsun Yan's opinion, Ou Chuyang's chess was disorganized, like a wild and wild, and he could play wherever he thought. Most of the time, he was randomly fighting and aimless, but occasionally there would be one or two tricks of wonderful chess that made Gongsun Yan secretly admire him.

This occasional flash of inspiration was a little bit of experience that Ou Chuyang learned from his chess moves when he was playing with Bai Zimo before. However, without any basic skills, it is difficult to play Go with just a flash of inspiration.

After only a cup of tea, Gongsun Yan smiled and said, "You lost."

Ou Chuyang asked in surprise, "Did I lose? I didn't count our 'empty', how do you know I've lost?"

"Does this still need to be counted? You can see this situation at a glance. You have lost these three areas of land at the bottom left, the upper left and the upper right, and you are unable to compete with me. Only the lower right part is still fighting stubbornly. Even if I give you the lower right land to you and then attack the central front with all my strength, I can occupy at least six or seven out of ten in this world."

Gongsun Yan explained and continued: "So, you have already lost. In this case, you can invest and admit defeat and lose in the middle, without waiting for the final outcome. Because if you resist stubbornly and support until the end, the ending may be even more ugly."

"So that's how it is..." Ou Chuyang pinched a piece and turned around repeatedly in his hand, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's practice anyway, let's go down to the end."

...

In addition to Ou Chuyang and Gongsun Yan, the other 124 students also invited each other to fight each other, and fought hard.

After a game after game, the students gradually divided into three levels according to their chess skills. Everyone began to slowly find opponents that were comparable to their chess skills. As the saying goes, they will meet good talents when playing chess. Only when playing such chess is satisfied, interesting, and progress can they be made.

Before we knew it, the sky was slowly getting dark. Bai Zimo did not stop, and everyone consciously did not stop playing chess and continued to fight.

A transparent light shield with silver glowing light appeared on the edge of the chessboard flying boat, which not only blocked the strong airflow outside, but also provided enough lighting so that students could continue playing chess with peace of mind.

...

"I lost, I'll have another game." Ou Chuyang could not remember how many games he lost in a row, but he still unscathed to put the black and white chess pieces into the chess box separately, and then continued to challenge.

"Wait a minute, you are so blind and confused. Although you are so encouraging, you have not made much progress." Gongsun Yan said: "I'd better teach you some basic techniques first."

Fixed style: After many chess practices, some of the commonly known and relatively proper fixed routines have gradually formed when playing on the corner after many chess practices, namely the commonly known "starting style".

Layout: At the beginning of the chess game, both sides seize key points, arrange formations, and prepare to enter the mid-range battle. This stage is called layout.

Mid-Plate: After entering the mid-Plate stage, the chess game changes unpredictably. Therefore, mid-Plate combat ability is the key to chess players improving their chess power and is the fun of chess players.

Official: also called "final". It is the final stage of a game of chess. After mid-play battle, the territories of both sides are generally determined, and there are still some empty seats to be put into play. This is called "final".

Relatively speaking, the layout and finale can be learned through imitation from the game between books, fixed patterns and masters, while the mid-player battle is unpredictable and has no trace. It is one of the most difficult techniques to master in Go, and it requires extremely high calculating ability and overall view of the players.

"In a game of chess, there are some relatively fixed and easy-to-master technical techniques in the layout, mid-game and final stages." Gongsun Yan said in detail: "Mastering these techniques can improve the chess power with half the effort."

"I would like to hear it carefully." Ou Chuyang listened carefully and humbly.

Sharp: Playing chess on the side of your original chess piece is called "sharp". Sharp is both offensive and defensive, but at the same time it will also give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of. It is one of the most commonly used but difficult to master.

Chang: "Long" means to continue to play chess forward with the chess piece close to you on the chessboard. "Long" is generally used to connect your own pieces when you are in contact and fighting with the other party, making it easier to connect your own pieces and better attack the other party.

Top: "Top" is the method of confronting the opponent's chess piece. In other words, it is to put the head of the chess piece in the direction of the opponent's chess piece. The top is characterized by strength, thickness, and has the meaning of first move.

Crush: "Crush" refers to playing chess at the empty intersection between the opponent's "Shu" shape with the original chess piece on the chess board, which is called "Crush". "Crush" often uses one's strong side to block the opponent and divide the opponent's chess into two pieces to help find opportunities to eliminate the opponent.

Jump: It is to play chess at a distance from the original chess piece. It is generally used when both sides are in contact and fighting each other. It is most commonly used to escape from one's own chess piece or chase the opponent's weak chess.

Die: "Disconnect" is a chess game method that directly cuts the connection between the opponent's chess and makes the opponent's chess disperse. It is very similar to the division and siege tactics in war.

...

"Interesting and interesting!" Although it sounds very complicated, Ou Chuyang did not feel bored at all, but felt it was very fun. "Go is indeed a profound, complex and fun game."

In the selfless study and chess game, time passed quietly. Before we knew it, the whole night had passed.

"It's almost dawn..." Gongsun Yan stood up with his waist stretched, moving his sore legs and feet.

The chessboard flying boat flew rapidly over the dark gray sea of ​​clouds. The skyline in the east was already red, but the sun had not yet revealed its face. This scene, Ou Chuyang is not unfamiliar with it, just like sitting on the Boeing passenger plane, but sitting on the chessboard flying boat, the vision was wider, and he felt that the world was extremely vast.

"Look! There is a mountain in front of you." Gongsun Yan shouted loudly.

Ou Chuyang followed Gongsun Yan's pointing and looked into the distance.
