Finally, the game ended with the black rook capturing the red king.
"Thank you for your leniency, Elder Ying."
Zhong Yunyue returned the red pieces to their hands and straightened the black pieces.
Old Ying waved his hand, "You are indeed very capable, I did not hold back."
It's said that playing chess best reflects a person's character. Every move you make is very steady, carefully considered before you act, step by step, which is very similar to your personality.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzheng spoke as if praising herself, "Brother Yue is known for his gentle and refined manners and good temperament. I never expected that he could see through such a small game of chess."
Old Master Ying put down his chess piece and noticed the pretty young girl behind Zhong Yunyue. "Young lady, why don't you try it and see how to judge people through chess?"
"Me?" Lu Wanzheng was a little at a loss. Her chess skills were really bad. Would she be pointed out on the spot as a primary school student?
The old man who had been giving her pointers patted her on the shoulder and said, "Young lady, why don't you give it a try? I'll play with you."
His chess skills are inferior to Old Man Ying's. Since Old Man Ying lost to the young man in front of him, he naturally can't beat him either. However, he just realized that the little girl is a beginner, so he can let her practice her chess skills.
If she were to fight with Old Man Ying, the little girl would probably cower in fear.
Zhong Yunyue spoke up at the right moment, "You give it a try. It's not shameful to lose. The production team can cut this part." He stood up from the small stool and made room for Lu Wanzheng.
Zhong Yunyue's voice was clear and melodious, yet it seemed to have an uplifting effect.
Lu Wanzheng nodded and sat down in his seat.
She wasn't afraid of losing; winning and losing are common in war, and losing a game isn't shameful. The problem was that this was her first time playing chess with someone, and she was just a little at a loss.
“Old Zhang’s chess skills are the worst here, so you still have a chance to beat him.” Seeing that the little girl showed no fear, Mayor Xu couldn’t help but admire her.
Lu Wanzheng sat calmly on the small stool.
Old Zhang sat opposite her.
Lu Wanzheng is playing as Black and has lost the opportunity to make the first move.
Lu Wanzheng was very cautious in every step she took, and occasionally she would use some tricks to confuse the enemy.
A true gentleman observes a game of chess in silence.
Whenever Zhong Yunyue saw Lu Wanzheng's pieces being captured by Zhang Lao, he wanted to give Lu Wanzheng a little reminder, but he always managed to restrain himself.
We should let go and let children learn to fly on their own.
In the end, Lu Wanzheng was naturally outmatched and was defeated by Zhang Lao.
Lu Wanzheng put the chess pieces back in their places, "Just as I expected."
This was Zhang Lao's first victory, winning against a young girl who had just started playing. Although it was a somewhat unfair win, he was in a much better mood now because he always lost. He said with a smile, "The little girl's chess skills are only slightly worse than mine. She's just a bit mischievous. Luckily, I have good eyesight, otherwise I would have found a way to trick you."
"No, I just threw this up haphazardly." Lu Wanzheng quickly waved her hand. She was just a novice; how could she compare to a seasoned elder?
Seeing Zhang Lao's shamelessness, Old Ying chuckled and said, "If you ask me, this young lady is no less capable than you, and she has a strong learning ability."
He could tell at a glance that the little girl was using the same tactics he had just used. He hadn't expected the little girl to use them so soon after seeing them, and Old Man Zhang was completely outmatched.
Unfortunately, the girl wasn't proficient in the technique and ultimately lost the match.
