Chapter 78
Falling asleep, Liu Tong found himself standing in front of a hut.

There is a stone table in the yard, on which there is a chess board, and a set of endgames is placed.

"A copy of the primary task, to solve the chess endgame, to reward intelligence +1 for success, to reward a primary lottery draw once, to fail without penalty, to complete the time limit, and to run out of energy."

Hearing the system's notification sound, Liu Tong patted his forehead, saw that he was wearing a red dress, and had a slightly increased bust, and shook his head slightly.

"This system really cultivates all-round talents..." Liu Tong wanted to complain. He had just learned Go, and now he was asked to solve the chess endgame. It was completely wrong.

"Fortunately, I have practiced before." Liu Tong's understanding of chess is actually not deep, but when he was a child watching old men playing chess on the street, he came over curiously and learned about the so-called "horse reversing the sun, reversing the mountains".

And based on what he knew about chess at the time, he was just a beginner, so he heard about the endgame, but it was not his turn to solve it.

Of course, since the task has appeared, he will give it a try.

Liu Tong walked over, looked at the chess endgame, and began to think carefully.

According to the rules of chess, in this chess game, the red side has three soldiers with one cart, one horse, one cannon, and the black side has two horses, two cannons and four pawns, which can be regarded as evenly matched.

And the system did not prompt how to solve this endgame.

Just as Liu Tong was thinking, the door of the thatched hut opened, and an old man with a foot-long white beard, chicken skin and white hair bent over and leaned on a cane, and when he saw Liu Tong, he smiled slightly and said, "Little girl, are you here?" The one who broke the mess?"

"I'll go..." Liu Tong saw the old man half buried in the ground, and immediately ruled out that it was Teacher Hei who disguised himself.

"Little girl, the end game of this chess game is not too difficult. How will the three soldiers of the red side besiege and kill the black veteran?"

"Mr., have you ever solved this mess?" Liu Tong asked.

"No, I have been here for 50 years, but I haven't been able to solve it." The old man sighed, "Because I don't know how to play Go."

"Old man, this is chess. Does it have anything to do with whether you know how to go?"

"Oh, my chess level is very poor. I am old and my brain is not working well. I am just waiting for someone who is destined to solve this mess, and then I can be free." The old man with a white beard said, looking forward to With Liu Tong.

"Okay, but I'm just a beginner at chess." Liu Tong sighed secretly. If it was the endgame of Go, he was still very confident, but chess can only be said to be foolish.

"It's okay, little girl, you can start." The old man blinked and said.

Liu Tong didn't bother to care if the old man really didn't understand chess, so he walked to the stone table and looked at it seriously.

Although he is still a layman in chess, Liu Tong has already gained enough strength in the calculation of chess after the experience of Go computing power.

As for this endgame, it is precisely through complex logical calculation and reasoning that the correct way of thinking is introduced to solve it.

If the calculation depth of Go is the sea, then the calculation depth of chess is a small pond.

As long as there is enough time, the limited exhaustive changes can be deduced completely, and it is impossible for humans to win chess with ordinary computers.

Therefore, there are many draws in chess, and many times in the end, the two sides will draw.

However, the advantage of going first in chess is huge, but there is no way to make up for it in Go. Therefore, chess masters generally are invincible if they get the first move.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Tong felt as if he had found a way of thinking.

"Old man, can I try next time?" Liu Tong asked.

"Please, but you only have three chances."

"Oh, so that's the case." Liu Tong glanced at the old man with a white beard meaningfully. This is also three chances, and the mission will fail if he runs out.

Liu Tong deduced it again carefully, and felt that there was not a big problem with his calculation. Although there were still some points that he hadn't figured out clearly, if he didn't try this endgame, he really couldn't understand it.

So Liu Tong picked up the red car and took a step ahead.

After this move, the white-bearded old man shook his head and said, "Little girl, I don't think your move is good. I was misled by this move for a long time ten years ago, and I have been wrong all the time."

"Try it, how do you know it won't work?" Liu Tong asked.

While Liu Tong was talking, the black piece on the chessboard moved by itself. Liu Tong saw that the black piece had moved a cannon.

"Is this automatic?" Liu Tong was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the old man was here to play against him. It seemed that this was an automatic chess table.

"Yeah, this chessboard is spiritual. If you lose three times, he won't play with you."

"Okay, I see." Liu Tong nodded, and then jumped on the horse again.

After walking more than ten steps in this way, Liu Tong couldn't help feeling that he really seemed to have walked on the wrong path.

"Little girl, it's not bad that you can find this change as soon as you come up, but it's a pity that you can't do it this time." The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said.

"Then let's do it all over again." Liu Tong also saw that the red side had failed in this endgame, and he had missed one.

Of course, this attempt is not without value. He feels that his understanding of chess has deepened.

Soon, the chess game automatically returned to its original state, and Liu Tong began to meditate again.

After careful calculation step by step, Liu Tong felt that he had found another way after a long time.

Of course, this time Liu Tong didn't try it right away, he checked it again, and he suddenly found that among the choices he had ruled out, one of the choices seemed to have hidden means.

Then, Liu Tong thought about it again. This time, after he discovered the hidden method, the changes inside were also extremely complicated. After repeated deduction twice, there was no way to figure it out.

Liu Tong was a little impatient, worried that he would run out of energy and would never have the chance to try it a second time.

"Little girl, don't worry, there are two more chances, hold on."

"Okay." Liu Tong nodded, adjusted his mentality, stopped thinking about whether he had enough energy, and continued to deduce and think about changes in depth.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Tong's eyes lighted up slightly, and the chess strategy for the endgame became clear in his mind.

"It shouldn't be wrong, that's it." Liu Tong showed a slight smile, picked up the red horse and jumped forward.

"Oh, little girl, your chess move looks interesting. I have considered it, but I don't know if it will work." The old man with white beard said.

The black chess on the stone table quickly responded with a move, Liu Tong was not surprised, this move was within his expectation.

Then, the two sides made eighteen moves, and as the chess moves deepened, Liu Tong became more and more clear. This was the change he calculated just now.

There are 47 moves in total, the red horse jumps at the last move and checkmates the black successfully.

"It's done!" Liu Tong exclaimed excitedly.

"Great." The white-bearded old man also straightened up, threw the crutches away, and then disappeared.

There were hundreds of treasure chests around, so Liu Tong directly picked up the treasure chest on the chess stone table.

According to the consistency of the system, the treasure chest closest to the task should be an item that has a great correlation with the next task.

Liu Tong also figured it out at this time, instead of just taking out some garbage, it is better to take out some items related to system tasks, which will also be of great help to him in completing the tasks.
