Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 3
The chess game has begun.

An Senlu closed his eyes. From a bird's-eye view, he could see that the classroom was divided into a chessboard. There was a vertical line and a horizontal line on the leftmost edge and the bottom edge of the chessboard respectively.

The vertical lines record the numbers 8-1, while the horizontal lines record the letters A-H.

These can be used to tell where the pieces are.

[You are the white side, please play first and give instructions within 10 seconds, otherwise it will be regarded as abstention]

【You represent the 'king' of the white side. If you want to move the king, try to move to the corresponding grid】

An Senlu was silent for two seconds, "Pawn E-2, move to E-4."

The student in grid E-2, wearing medieval military uniform, moved forward like a machine, walked out of two grids precisely, and came to grid E-4.

"Long-"

The stone statue directly opposite the classroom moved slowly, making a heavy sound like an earthquake.

The opponent's pawn in the E-7 square moved to the E-5 square at this time, facing Ansenlu's pawn.

"F-2 soldier, move to F-4." An Senlu still closed his eyes, but his voice was unusually calm.

The female student in grid F-2 moved slowly, walked forward, and stood in grid F-4 as instructed by An Senlu.

"It's started, the chess game has begun!" Xiong Haodong shouted.

The corridors were extremely noisy and crowded, even worse than Paris at night. Even the stairs leading to the third floor were crowded with students. No teacher could control these curious students.

In this day and age, who hasn't read two novels? The students know everything about the situation now. If they awaken their superpowers, the first thing they might do is smash up the school.

At this time, Wang Jianghan, the teacher of the Go club, squeezed into the position closest to the window.

He adjusted his glasses, stared into the classroom with sharp eyes, and said in a warm voice:

"Let me explain the chess game. Although I play Go, I know a thing or two about chess."

"This is." Wang Jianghan looked at the chess board, squinting his eyes, "Wang Yi's gambit opens? This is how long you have been eliminated. What is this kid doing?"

The King's Gambit is a very old opening that was very popular in the 19th century.

Due to the in-depth study of Black's defensive technology, after the middle and late 20th century, this opening was basically not used in chess games at the grand master level.

What Wang Jianghan didn't know was that An Senlu didn't study chess systematically at all. He only knew some basic rules of chess, and the rest depended on playing on the spot.

Relying on his outstanding intuition and layout ability, An Senlu vaguely won a league championship. The trick he thought was wild was actually used many years ago.

"The black pawn at E5 ate the white pawn at F4." Wang Jianghan observed the chess game intently, with cold sweat dripping from the back of his hands, "It's strange that black accepts the abandonment, why on earth Ansenlu would use this opening, it's simply a gamble"

In the classroom, the stone statue symbolizing 'soldiers' raised the cold stone sword and slashed at the girl in the F-4 grid. Her head and head were instantly split apart.

"puff!"

The blood rippled and splashed on the classroom floor.

"boom."

A ferocious head smashed against the window, spreading scarlet.

Everyone stared at this bloody scene dumbfounded, the air was so heavy that it seemed to be filled with cement, it was almost suffocating.

The entire corridor was briefly enveloped in silence.

The next moment, screams broke the silence.

"what--!!!"

The sophomore girl hugged her head, growled with wet eyes, "Sister, that's my sister!!!"

Xiong Haodong was stunned for a long time before he realized that someone really died, right in front of his eyes.

He stared blankly at this scene, his stomach was like a thousand coelenterates like earthworms wriggling back and forth, trying to flow upstream from the esophagus.

Eventually, using this sense of fear and powerlessness as fodder, rage breeds—an impotent rage that runs counter to reason and is born purely for self-preservation.

Xiong Haodong said in a hoarse voice: "What the hell is this Ansenlu doing, just like that, just like this, one person died!!!"

Teacher Wang Jianghan pursed his lips tightly, watching An Senlu surrounded by other students' chess pieces, and murmured unconsciously:

"Ansenlu, you have to fight hard, we must not lose this game of chess."

An Senlu's expression remained calm.

He closed his eyes, as if he was trying to figure out the chess game, and he didn't care about the death of the female student at all.

From his perspective, it was nothing more than a pawn being eaten.

The chess game has just begun.

"F1 bishop moved to C4."

In Ansenlu's God's perspective, he seems to stretch out an invisible hand, pinch the chess piece with his index finger and middle finger, and place it in the position he expected.

The pawn falls, and the opponent moves the "queen" from D8 to H4.

"G1 horse, move to F3." An Senlu only thought for half a second.

The opponent gives instructions again.

There seemed to be no time for thinking on the side of the stone statues. They acted quickly the moment Ansenlu finished playing chess.

"Pawn D2, move to D3." An Senlu said.

The chessboard was grotesque, and every time the stone statue moved, it would cause a shocking slight earthquake, which made everyone outside the classroom fearful, and the timid students had already left the corridor.

But An Senlu was so calm from the beginning to the end, his voice kept ringing in the quiet classroom.

"F3 horse, move to H4."

"."

"."

"H4 horse, move to F5."

"."

"."

"G2 pawn, move to G4."

The chess game evolved silently, and so far, many white chess pieces have become victims.

An Senlu, holding on to the chess pieces, is like an indifferent tyrant, a general who is obsessed with slaughtering thousands of soldiers. He makes choices in a leisurely manner and gives up the necessary sacrifices.

People are constantly dying, and they are beheaded by the enemy before they can even cry out.

However, An Senlu knew that he was luring his opponent into a desperate situation step by step.

This is a necessary trade-off.

On the 11th move, Anson Lu made a risky move. He looked down at the chessboard calmly, and said slowly:
"H1 car, move to G1, abandon the image."

After this move, there is no doubt that black's side has captured his discarded bishop.

"What the hell is he doing!"

Xiong Haodong stared at his beheaded tablemate, pounded on the window and yelled.

In the beginning, he was simply dissatisfied with An Senlu's publicity, but now seeing his familiar classmates die one by one, his whole body collapsed, and he even felt physically uncomfortable.

The blood mist bloomed on the chessboard, and then spread to all directions, washing the dead silent and stern chessboard, and the solemn fighting spirit was like the roar of the pine wind, sweeping away with an irresistible trend.

No one dared to imagine how many people would die on this chessboard.

Wang Jianghan was still watching, and he explained the direction of the chess game with a hoarse voice, "An Senlu is very bold. He abandoned his bishop on the 11th move. This sacrifice is not a useless move, but a sacrifice to lure the enemy to go deeper."

Xiong Haodong let out a low growl, "Lure the enemy to go deep, how many people are dead and still lure the enemy to go deep!"

"shut your mouth"

The headmaster raised his head, his cold eyes met Xiong Haodong's.

He asked unquestionably: "Student, although I don't know your name, let me ask you, if it were you, would you dare to stand there and bet the lives of other students to take this game of chess?"

Xiong Haodong was stunned on the spot. After being silent for a while, he raised his head unwillingly and looked at An Senlu, whose expression was extremely indifferent.

The chess game evolves more and more intricate, with fewer and fewer pieces on the board.

Just judging from the quantity, it is obvious that the stone statue side has the upper hand, which is why Ansenlu is quite reprimanded.

In this chess game, he sacrificed too many pieces. In the eyes of those who don't understand the rules of chess, he is undoubtedly ruining the lives of his companions and classmates in vain!

Moreover, he has no intention of stopping.

The chess game came to the 18th and 19th steps. In these two steps, Ansenlu further discarded two rooks.

"He's crazy"

Xiong Haodong hugged his head and watched in despair as the two classmates who used to play together were cut in half. Intestines and blood splashed out, fell to the ground, and then turned into blood mist and dispersed in an instant.

Obviously, yesterday he was still playing online games with these two classmates in the dormitory, but today he watched them turn into a bloody mess.

"He's really crazy"

"No!" Wang Jianghan opened his eyes wide and said in shock:
"I know what he's thinking, he's trying to cut off the Queen's defense against G7!"

"Fuck you!" Xiong Haodong lay on the window, his eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, "What about Li Yuze, Li Yuze, as long as she doesn't die, An Senlu, you bastard, if you dare to let Li Yuze die"

"Brother Dong, Yuze is the 'Queen', so he won't die so easily." The squad leader comforted.

Even so, he could see at a glance that the current situation seemed to be infinitely biased toward the stone statue side—there were only two "rooks" left on the stone statue side on the chessboard, but Ansen Deer had just abandoned both of his own rooks!

Compared with Ansen Lu Fang, the number of chess pieces in the Stone Statue Fang has an overwhelming advantage.

But at this moment, a scene that shocked Xiong Haodong and the squad leader enough to tear their eye sockets appeared.

The chess game is coming to an end.

In the 22nd step, An Senlu read out a sentence that no one outside the classroom could think of in a voice without emotion:

"Queen, move to F6."

"He wants to abandon the queen!!!" Xiong Haodong roared.

Li Yuze, who was wearing a luxurious long dress, held a long sword, and moved forward gracefully like a puppet—every step she took moved the eyes of the boys outside the window, and their hearts hung to the top.

At the same time, their hatred of Anson's deer also reached its peak.

Everyone scolded An Senlu like crazy, saying that this is a mentally twisted lunatic, an executioner who doesn't take human life seriously at all!

Only the principal and teacher Wang Jianghan looked at each other in unison.

Wang Jianghan said in a daze: "Abandoning the queen eliminates Black's defense against the E7 square."

"It's a stroke of genius." The principal said incredulously, "At the expense of the queen, black's defense ability has been eliminated, and the outcome of the game has been decided."

"Principal, should I say he is a genius, or a lunatic."

"I think maybe it's both."

Following Ansenlu's order to abandon the queen, the side of the stone statue also quickly gave instructions, and the 'Knight' in G8 moved to F6 to eat the 'Queen' in this space.

tread!
Tread!

Tatata!
Accompanied by the wailing of countless male students watching and the sound of horseshoes, the roaring stone wild horses washed Li Yuze into mud and crushed them into pieces, and a bloody mist spread.

Violent scarlet is as bright as a rose, and as fleeting as a rose.

Looking at this ferocious and brutal scene, everyone roared with distorted faces, and the whole world seemed to be roaring manically.

Only the boy in school uniform standing in the corner of the chessboard remained unchanged. He was like a reef standing in the frenzy, overlooking the whole situation lonely and coldly, and the voice of orders was so indifferent from the beginning to the end.

"It's over." The principal looked deeply at An Senlu, "What kind of psychological quality is this."

"D6 bishop, move to E7"

An Senlu's voice fell, he opened his eyes, and slowly read the decisive word:

"General."

A general is a term in chess, which means that in a game, one side's pieces must make a move to capture the opponent's king, which is called a "general".

At this moment, the boy in square D6, wearing a gold-and-white robe, holds a torch, walks towards square E7 expressionlessly, and sprinkles flames on the black king in the upper left corner.

The gorgeously dressed Black King was engulfed by flames in an instant, collapsed into thousands of stones, and fell to the ground.

The king is checkmate, and the game is lost.

"Whoosh!"

The blazing fire swept in all directions, and burned all the stone statues in the classroom with an unstoppable momentum.

"hiss"

The flame devours, covers, infects, and annihilates everything, and finally there is not even a scum left.

At this moment, those students who had 'dead', as well as desks and chairs, returned to the classroom intact.

They sat in their seats, staring at An Senlu standing on the podium in a daze, without realizing what happened for a moment.

After all, they lost consciousness the moment the chess game started.

"Ah, here." An Senlu came back to his senses, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "It's over, I accidentally played on it."

At this moment, the cold female voice rang in everyone's ears.

[Congratulations to An Senlu for being the first player in the world to pass the special occupational sequence test. The test evaluation is SSS level, and he has awakened a unique occupational sequence—old chess player]

"What's the situation?"

"Did he win? Won with so many pieces behind?"

"Damn it, I see he's been abandoning his children all the time, I thought he'd already played it off, this guy has something."

Outside the corridor, the boys who were still howling for the dead Li Yuze just now were completely stunned.

Class [-] and [-] of high school returned to their original state, and the fifteen students including Li Yuze were also wearing school uniforms, sitting in the classroom dignifiedly, as if they hadn't figured it out yet, and looked bewildered.
