In some countries, white moves first, and in some countries, black moves first. In some countries, the seat system is popular, and some prefer to guess and stick to the head first. In Stone Ghost's hometown, black moves first, and the person holding black is mostly

Take action.

Obviously Shi Guizhen believed that his chess skills were not as good as Ning Fan's, so he thought he was the next mover.

At this moment, Ning Fan heard the prompt from the Holy Son's Thunder Book.

[The branches of destiny appear: branch one, crush the stone ghost with absolute chess power, win in the middle game, get scores from tens to fifty stars, extra rewards, ten thousand years of chess power; branch two, fight the stone ghost to the official position, and win,

Obtained scores from five to twenty stars, additional rewards, the first part of "The Secret of Victory and Defeat of the Great Grade"; branch three, lost to the stone ghost, but persisted to the official position, obtained scores from two to ten stars, additional rewards, low-grade North Pole Road

One fruit; branch four, lose to the stone ghost, admit defeat in the middle game, get points from one to five stars, additional reward, a pair of stone chess pieces seeking the path; branch five, cancel the game before the winner is determined, no reward]

Ning Fan was slightly surprised.

What is ten thousand years of chess strength? Can something like chess strength be directly rewarded?

When I think about it, it's not surprising that since there are secret methods of initiation to improve one's cultivation, there are also ways to forcibly improve one's chess skills.

While thinking about it, Master Shigui had already made up his mind.

Four out of four, lower left star position.

In Stone Ghost's hometown, the seat system does not seem to be popular. Out of respect for the upper hand, Stone Ghost chose the upper right position. Ning Fan's lower left is the Stone Ghost's upper right.

If the other party treats each other with courtesy, Ning Fan will not be rude.

White chess piece, sixteen of sixteen, upper right star position.

Black chess, the small star below.

White chess, two consecutive stars above.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hands passed by, and the stone ghost's brows gradually furrowed, seeming puzzled.

It's strange, very strange. Ning Fan (Zhang Dao)'s choices in the layout stage today are very different from the Brother Zhang he knew in the past.

We haven’t seen each other for many years. Could it be that Brother Zhang has changed his past and changed his chess strategy? Stone Ghost secretly guessed.

He inadvertently raised his head and looked at Ning Fan's face.

From the stone ghost's perspective, what he sees at this moment is still the face of his Brother Zhang, which seems to be no different from the Brother Zhang he knew back then.

However, Ning Fan at this moment gave Master Shigui a slightly strange feeling.

Suppressed by this incredible feeling, Shi Guizhen once again concentrated his energy on the chessboard, and his breathing and breathing faintly merged with the chessboard. This was proof that his mind was fully concentrated.

In the blink of an eye, another dozen hands passed by.

The strange feeling lingering in the heart of Shigui Zhenren became more and more frequent.

"Weird, so weird! In this move, Brother Zhang actually didn't use his best Nanliang Flying Knife style with me, and the choice of this step is also a bit strange..."

"When I used to play chess with Brother Zhang, I could feel the huge pressure almost from the layout stage, but today, it seems that there is no sense of pressure from the past. Have I become stronger in recent years? Or is it just like outside rumors, since then

After his master passed away, Brother Zhang’s chess skills plummeted and were no longer what they used to be..."

"Will win!"

"Facing Brother Zhang, for the first time I had the idea of ​​winning! I will try my best to win this round!"

As the chess game progressed, Shi Guizhen's fighting spirit became more and more intense, and Ning Fan gradually felt the pressure of mountains and seas from the chessboard.

"Obviously it's just the layout stage, but I've already felt my disadvantage. This is an unprecedented situation. Is the chess ability of this real stone ghost so high?"

After all, Ning Fan's Go experience almost all comes from Luan Gu's memory, and Luan Gu has never been a chess fanatic. For him, Go is just one of many hobbies, nothing more.

In terms of strength, Luan Gu may be far superior to Shi Gui, but when it comes to chess ability, he is far behind. Obviously Shi Gui, the real person, has put in much more effort in Go than Luan Gu.

"No, if we continue like this, we will lose!"

"The gap in experience is so huge! In my lifetime, plus the lifetime of Master Luan Gu, the number of games played together may not be as much as a fraction of this person's..."

Ning Fan frowned and concentrated all his energy on the chess game like never before.

Must go deeper.

Must, go deeper…

Ning Fan felt as if the small chessboard in front of him had turned into a boundless sea, and his mind was constantly heading deeper into the seabed.

Then, in the next move of chess, Ning Fan did not fall on the choice given by Luan Gu's memory. Instead, he hesitated and failed to make a move.

He is calculating, calculating the complex and cumbersome changes in the chess piece in front of him!

The fifteenth change…

The eighteenth kind…

Twenty-two kinds…

Thirty-nine species…

The various changes were inadvertently compared with the many Go formulas that Bai Ling had asked him for advice in recent days.

In his eyes, green light flashed!

Pre-reading, getting deeper and deeper!

At a certain moment, Ning Fan suddenly made a decision and finally made a move.

This is not the best move, but it is... the first move Ning Fan has made with his own chess skills in his life!

This move is not the ancient Go game, but Ning Fan’s game!

"Huh?" Master Shigui let out a light sigh, then his expression fell on Ning Fan's move, and his eyes gradually became serious.

He inadvertently raised his head and met Ning Fan's shining green eyes, and he was immediately shocked.

"It's actually the gate of heaven and man! It's not the first level. This, this is almost opening the third gate! I didn't expect that even though I haven't seen Brother Zhang for many years, his chess skills have weakened, but his understanding has increased to such a terrifying level.

! Sure enough, the death of his mentor brought him too much impact..."

"This is not the best move, but after this move, I actually can't understand his move. What is the real purpose of his move..."

The stone ghost tried to calculate the various changes in this chess piece. The more he calculated, the more complex it became.

After a long time, Stone Ghost suddenly saw something clearly, and a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

"This is actually a one-step test!"

"He is testing, from a very high position, how I will respond next, and the confidence he has in doing so must have accounted for all the local changes in this place! But how is this possible, in such a short time?

, to account for such a huge change, even I can't do it..."

"It's so heavy! After meeting Brother Zhang again, this is the first time I feel this level of pressure from him, even more than before! Although I felt pressure in the past, it was actually based on experience.

Brother Zhang's talent is far better than mine, and his experience is even better than mine. But now, my experience has caught up. But today...is the source of this pressure coming from the gap in computing power?

"

In the blink of an eye, more than forty hands passed by.

The sweat on Shi Guizhen's forehead was flowing more and more. He could feel that the advantage he had gained at the beginning of the layout stage was now being eaten away by Ning Fan bit by bit.

Another chess move fell, and Master Shigui's expression suddenly changed.

I saw that Ning Fan's next response actually mirrored the step of adapting more than forty times ago. One move later, what seemed to be just an adapting step before turned into a sharp sword that penetrated the heart of the real Stone Ghost!

"He actually buried such a move more than forty moves ago!"

Defeat is decided.

There is no need to continue.

If you have a pair of eyes, you can clearly see the real-time winning rate on the chessboard. At this moment, Shi Guizhen's winning rate may not even be one ten thousandth.

So he let out a long sigh, feeling relieved, but also regretful and unwilling.

Then he took out two chess pieces, placed them on the chessboard, and surrendered.

White chess wins the middle game.

Ning Fan not only defeated Master Shigui, but also almost crushed him in terms of computing power!

"I thought that Brother Zhang was really like the rumors. His chess skills have declined in recent years. I didn't expect that Brother Zhang just changed his chess strategy. Now he is more focused on improving his computing power... In this game, I was convinced that I lost. With Zhang

My brother's computing power can even compete with those second- and third-grade chess players!" Master Shi Gui was full of admiration.

Although he lost the chess game, he paid great attention to the spirit of chess. He was happy to win and happy to lose, especially when he lost to such a wonderful move. If this game is spread, it may be included in the famous game records.

Woolen cloth.

When he thought that one day he could become one of the famous people in ancient and modern times, even though it was just a backdrop, Shi Guizhen still felt extremely happy and honored.

"Tong'er, have you recorded the chess records?" Stone Ghost asked Tong'er beside him.

"Go back to Master, I've written it all down." Tong'er said respectfully.

"Brother Zhang, why don't we review the situation now?" Stone Ghost begged.

"Okay." Reviewing the game after the game is over is also the proper etiquette, and Ning Fan will not refuse.

Although he won this round, he relied on his huge computing power that crushed the opponent by several levels. If he hadn't entered the deepest state of heaven and man, he would most likely have lost.
