It started snowing again!

From the early morning, snowflakes fluttered and fell from the sky. After only one morning, the earth changed into a flawless white coat.

Alas! I sighed. I originally wanted to take advantage of the holidays these two days to wash my dirty clothes well, but it seems that I will be in a waste again. But it's no big deal. I don't change clothes often in winter anyway, so I can still stay there for two days.

My little sister was very excited after getting up today, and she kept telling the same thing: Tonight is Xu Shu’s personal concert. I am so excited! I am so happy, I am so looking forward to it! I can’t wait-

In order to avoid my younger sister's mental twitching and eardrum bombardment, I had to go out to buy a pack of cigarettes in heavy snow. Of course, I would not come back after a long time of going.

The snow is very heavy and the snow is very deep. In addition, there are few pedestrians on the street today Saturday. I was so hard to walk step by step in the snow. After buying two packs of cigarettes in the small shop, I thought about where to get into the past half day. With such heavy snow, I really couldn't think of any place to stay for a while.

By chance, I saw a sign across the street, saying: Kobayashi Go Hall.

Who is Kobayashi? Kobayashi Koichi?

I couldn't help laughing, and finally found a place to kill my time.

In short, I haven't touched Go for a long time! I remember when I first entered college, I was crazy about Go by a roommate named Liu Hui. Liu Hui started professional Go training since he was very young and had become a wise master. His chess skills were extremely high. Later, for some reason, he gave up his career and got into college. I thought that he was at the beginning of his major, and he also said something that made him proud for his whole life. By chance, he played a game with national player Yu Bin and gave two chess pieces, but he won the middle game. He memorized the chess score of this game, and at least he made it for me six or seven times.

Under Liu Hui's guidance, I studied Go hard for a year, from Liu Hui's nine sons still trying to kill me without leaving any armor until later he asked me to lose more than I lost, and let my three sons win less. It took only one year, and it was not professional training. It was already very good to be able to reach this level.

Liu Hui once said that I was barely considered a Go genius, but I learned chess too late and I had no hope of catching up with him in my life. As expected, I have never made any progress since then. No matter how hard I study, I was still allowed to be of the level of the second and third sons. Later, I saw that I could not make progress, so I was bored and gave up on studying.

After graduating from college, I didn’t never play chess anymore, but I just played very little. I guess my level is between 2 and 3 stages of amateur. People of this level are grabbing a lot of chess clubs in cities, so I never go to that kind of place to play chess. Moreover, since I started working, I have less and less free time and my work has become more busy, so I put this Go down and haven’t touched it for a long time.

It was snowing heavily today, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, and I was doing nothing, and a chess hall appeared in front of me. Naturally, I walked in.

The chess hall is on the second floor, and the heating is on, which makes me feel very comfortable. The venue is very small, and there are not many people playing chess inside. There are only two pairs of people playing chess, and there are not many onlookers.

A middle-aged man with a bald head and looking like a chess hall owner saw me walking in, and asked with a smile: "Are you going to chess? How many?"

I said, "I'm alone, just take a look."

"Oh, then I'll make a cup of tea for you."

I knew that as soon as he made tea, he would charge me money, but I wanted to stay here for a while and then soak it. I nodded and walked to one of the chess-style tables to watch the game.

The two of them were about fifty years old and were staring at the board with all their attention. A black chess on the board was being besieged by the white chess. Seeing that they were moving left and right, they could not escape the encirclement of the white chess. I guess if the black dragon would die after taking a few more steps, and the chess would be over.

At this time, the boss brought the brewed tea and handed it to me, laughing and said, "Young man, can you play chess? It's so boring to look at it alone. Do you want me to find an opponent for you?

I knew I had to pay the game fee when I played chess, but I was here to kill time, so it was okay to play chess. I thought the boss was referring to him, so I said, "Okay! Come on!"

The boss was overjoyed when he heard this and shouted to a room inside: "Xiaolin, you're out to play chess."

There was no response in the room. The boss smiled at me and shouted loudly: "Kolin! Come quickly, don't let someone wait."

A female voice came from the room: "Here's here, what's the urge?" The door opened, and a sixteen-seven-year-old girl came out from inside. She wore a loose sweater and a pair of jeans under her, which looked very pure. But when she walked in front of us, her eyes were facing the sky and she looked nowhere.

The boss smiled and introduced: "This is my niece Xiaolin. The chess skills are pretty good. You can go and take a look first."

Miss Kobayashi sat down in front of a chessboard first, so I had to sit down. I saw that the other party was just a little girl. Although the younger you were, the less you could not underestimate him, you always felt a little contemptuous in your heart.

What was even more surprising was at the back. Miss Kobayashi took Bai Zi directly to her right hand, and then asked me with her nostrils facing the sky: "How much is the chess power? How many pieces do I need to give?"

I was really surprised. People should not behave like appearances, and the sea water should not be measured. Is such a young and pure little girl actually a master of Go?

I immediately put away my contempt, sat upright, and said respectfully: "I am probably at the first level of my amateur stage. How many times can I give me?" I haven't played chess for a long time, so my hands must have been very good. In order not to be too ugly, I have low estimates.

Miss Kobayashi said, "Crime? Then you can make three sons."

"I was even more surprised. Those who can make the third son of the first grade of the amateur are either the top grade of the amateur 7 or the lower grade of the major. They are so young and a woman, which is incredible.

I honestly put three black spots on the three angular stars and waited for her to take action.

Miss Kobayashi picked up a white piece with one hand and suddenly said to me: "By the way, I will make an announcement in advance. I will win the game fee by 100, and I will only charge fifty if I lose. I have no objection, right?"

I think since I graduated from college, I have not played a game of chess with experts. Although it is fifty or one hundred, it is quite expensive, but it is also worth it. So I nodded and said, "I have no objection."

Seeing that I agreed, Miss Kobayashi stopped talking. She waved her hand and slapped Bai Zi on the lower left side of me with a "splash"!

After more than thirty moves, I could see that she was probably at Liu Hui's level. When I was in college, I played more than 200 games of chess and I could say that I had a unique skill for chess. Later, Liu Hui asked me to have three pieces. He would lose eight games in ten games, and at least six games were lost in the middle game. So not long after playing this game, the white chess not only failed to take any advantage in the attack on the lower left of the black chess, but instead fell behind. I took the opportunity to "pop" and shot a piece on the empty corner star position on the upper left. The four corner star positions occupied all of them, and the advantage was obvious.

Miss Kobayashi looked up at me and said, "The chess skills are good, not just the first stage, right?" She said that, and sat up straight and began to get serious.

At this time, several people came to the chess hall, probably regular visitors. When I saw Miss Kobayashi playing chess, I came around to watch. At this moment, I was in a good mood, so I took out the cigarette I just bought, opened it and wanted to smoke it. The girl Kobayashi knocked on the table with white pieces twice, pointed to a note on the wall and said, "Please pay attention to public morality. Smoking is prohibited in the chess room. If you want to suck, please go outside and come in. After you have finished sucking."

I saw that the note on the wall really said the words "No smoking" and smiled bitterly, but there was no way to get addicted to smoking. Although it was much colder outside than in the room, I still had to smoke cigarettes.

For the sake of public morality, I said, "I'm sorry!" and got up and walked outside the chess hall, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

As soon as I took a few puffs, my phone rang. When I looked at the display screen, the number should be Qiu Jieqin's. I sighed and pressed the answer button: "Hey?"

"It's me."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just miss you, what are you doing?"

"Play chess."

"What chess? Go?

"yes!"

"You can still walk Go?"

"What's the matter?"

"That's great. My dad is a chess fan. You two will have a common language from now on - hehe, isn't it too early for me to say this?"

“—”

"Don't be angry, I have nothing else to say."

"No, are you still in trouble? I'm halfway through here."

"Yes, tonight--you really won't go to the concert?"

"I really don't have a ticket."

"If you don't go, I won't go either. Tonight, let's find a quiet place to sit, I-I really want to see you."

“—”

"Don't think too much, I'm not urging you to make a decision. We are finally old classmates. Can't we talk about the past and chat? And - I really want to see you.

I suddenly felt that I might not be able to reject her because she could always grasp my mind, making me unable to speak out, and I couldn't bear to refuse. Who would reject a small request from a pitiful woman who is deeply tender to you?

I said to her on my phone, "This is it. Wait for my phone call at night. If I have nothing to do, I will sit with you."

Qiu Jieqinxi said: "Really? Keep your word?"

"Don't worry! Then let's just do it first? I'll hang up."

I hung up my phone, took a few more breaths of smoke in my hand, and returned to the chess room.
Chapter completed!
