Chapter 127 Apprenticeship Test
"It's not impossible to accept disciples, but..."
Speaking of this, Gu Yun paused deliberately and stared at Ye Fan. After a few seconds, he continued: "But you have to pass the test."
"How to test?"
Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Gu Yun relented, things would be much easier to handle.
He has great confidence in Ning Xi.
reason?
unnecessary!
"Simple."
Gu Yun leaned back on the sofa, glanced at his granddaughter from the corner of his eye, and said: "Zi Yi is now in the beginning of her career, so let her be the test subject."
As he said that, he looked at Ning Xi and smiled kindly, "Girl, I won't embarrass you. As long as you are within fifty moves and do not lose more than Ziyi Sanzi, you will pass the test, how about?"
"good!"
Ning Xi held her hand and looked serious.
She is a first-level amateur, and her opponent is a first-level professional. The gap is indeed huge, but if she does not lose more than three pieces within fifty moves, it is not without hope.
Ye Fan created an opportunity for her. Whether she can become Gu Yun's teacher depends on whether she can seize this opportunity.
"Grandpa, this..."
"No water allowed."
As soon as Gu Ziyi opened her mouth, Gu Yun blocked her mouth with four words. She couldn't help but curled her lips and nodded helplessly.
A few minutes later, the chessboard was placed on the coffee table.
Sensing the nervousness of the girl next to him, Ye Fan took out the cherry hairband from his pocket, gently gathered her hair together and tied it into a low ponytail.
Ning Xi did not resist, her eyes drooped slightly, her nervousness gradually disappeared with Ye Fan's movements, and she felt confident inexplicably.
"Relax and perform to your best. It doesn't matter whether you can become a disciple or not." As he said that, Ye Fan raised his hand and touched Ning Xi's head with a loving look in his eyes.
"…Um."
Ye Fan's deep voice gave Ning Xi a sense of dependence. She liked this feeling very much.
Gu Ziyi's face looked strange, and his heart felt sour.
This wave of dog food came so unexpectedly...
Too much!
Even Gu Yun was a little surprised and asked curiously: "Ye Fan, are you and Ning Yatou in love?"
"No!"
"No."
Looking at Ning Xi, whose face was red, Ye Fan pursed his lips, with a faint smile on his face, "Teacher Gu, Xiaoxi and I are still in the third year of high school. We have heavy studies and cannot fall in love. We are still just good friends.
classmate."
The word ‘currently’ is very thought-provoking.
Gu Yun smiled heartily, picked up the tea and tasted it leisurely.
Gu Ziyi also had a faint smile on her face, and whispered to Ning Xi: "Xiao Xi, can I call you like this?"
"Can."
Ning Xi nodded, and at the same time, she did not forget to kick Ye Fan under the coffee table, with shame flashing in her eyes.
She was not stupid, so she naturally heard the hidden meaning in Ye Fan's words.
Gu Ziyi took the white piece, pushed the black piece in front of Ning Xi, and said: "Xiao Xi, you have only a short time to learn Go, so I will give you the black piece. It doesn't matter."
In Go, black moves first, so he is more proactive and has a certain advantage. In order to offset this advantage, all countries have adopted goal-focused methods with different rules.
According to Xia Guo's Go rules, the black pioneer must put 3 and 3/4 pieces, but Gu Ziyi took the initiative to say not to put pieces. Obviously, this is giving Ning Xi an advantage.
"No."
Ning Xi shook her head and refused.
Does she want to pass this test?
think!
But she wanted to pass the test based on her true skills and get the opportunity to become a disciple, instead of giving in to Gu Ziyi. Even if she passed the test, she would not be happy.
"Sister Gu, guess first."
Hearing this, Gu Ziyi's eyes were surprised, and then his impression of Ning Xi became a little higher again.
This girl is really outstanding!
She grabbed the white chess box with her right hand, placed it in front of Ning Xi, and said with a smile: "Come on."
"pair."
Guess it!
Ning Xi went first with black, and the moment she picked up the chess piece, her temperament quietly changed.
The chess piece falls, and the star is on the upper left.
The flowing sleeves of the ancient purple clothes were rolled up, and the white seed fell on the lower right star eye.
Ning Xi's second hand, the small eye on the upper left, wanted to gain a firm foothold in the upper left corner.
Gu Ziyi's second move was similar to Ning Xi's decision, falling on the lower left eyelet.
Both sides started very conservatively.
There is a proverb in the world of Go: "The gold horn is silver and the straw is the bag."
The meaning of this sentence is: the horns are the most valuable, the edges are second, and the belly is the least valuable.
In Go, the corner is the easiest to occupy. After occupying the corner, it can be used as a base to develop to the sides, thus affecting the trend of the middle game.
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
…
Whether it is Ning Xi or Gu Ziyi, the speed of the two women's moves always remains constant, neither too fast nor too slow.
After thirty moves, the chess game remains balanced.
Ye Fan can play Go, but he only has a superficial understanding of it. In his last life, because a client liked to play Go, he deliberately learned a little bit, just a little bit.
I don't know why, no matter who makes the move, his mind spins uncontrollably, calculating the direction of the next chess game.
Soon, forty moves passed.
The chess game changed from a peaceful one at the beginning. In just a few moves, it became a fight.
And the attacker turned out to be Ning Xi!
Gu Ziyi's face gradually changed from relaxed to serious at first. To be honest, she really didn't take this game to heart at first.
After all, she was a first-level professional, while Ning Xi was only an amateur. The difference in chess skills between the two sides was too big, and she also wanted to give in, hoping that Ning Xi could pass her grandfather's test.
However, as the layout of both sides became larger and larger, Gu Ziyi sensed something was wrong. Ning Xi's black men had unknowingly launched an offensive. Especially after Ning Xi flew the big horn with her forty-five moves, she actually had a disadvantage.
This situation shocked Gu Ziyi.
And five hands!
If the current situation continues, then she is very likely to... lose!!!
As a professional chess player, Gu Ziyi quickly analyzed the situation and immediately launched a counterattack.
Every time the two women's chess pieces fall, the situation on the chessboard changes accordingly.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
…
Unknowingly, the two sides had already passed fifty moves, but Gu Yun had no intention of stopping, and he stopped tasting the tea. He was enjoying the game of chess with great interest, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.
As time went by, this surprise became more and more obvious, until finally it occupied his entire eye socket.
After fifty moves, Ye Fan looked away, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his face looked proud.
Even he couldn't help but be surprised by Ning Xi's performance. With such a huge gap in chess skills between the two sides, he first showed weakness to the enemy, and then took the initiative to attack unexpectedly. It was this decisiveness that once made Gu Ziyi a professional
It was simply a miracle that Chudan had the upper hand.
Gu Ziyi's chess ability is strong, but if he wants to regain the situation, it is absolutely impossible to do so without more than thirty moves.
"Snapped!"
As Gu Ziyi's 106th move landed on Tian Yuan, Ning Xi silently put down the chess piece and nodded politely to Gu Ziyi.
Chapter completed!
