The old man finally noticed the little boy and turned his gaze to look at him.
Little Zhanzhan was already frustrated by the old man's suicidal moves. Even if he watched for an hour, he could already tell the outco of this ga.
And so, without waiting for the old man to move another chess piece, Little Zhanzhan used small steps to reach the table and stood on his toes before moving a few chess pieces while telling the old man how he should play the ga to win.
"Grandpa should play like a clueless child. If you move like that, you're just going to let the opponent eat your Knight."
"If you move your Horse like this, it will block the way of the opponent's Queen."
"Now, if your opponent moves like this… You can see an opening to the back lines and target bigger fish. You might even get to the opponent's King if you move wisely."
"Your opponent will be too busy thinking on how to protect their King so they won't see that your pawn can now eat your Queen."
The old man listened patiently for a second while thinking of entertaining the nonsense of a child. However, the more the little boy talked, the more the old man felt amazed.
This… this boy really knows how to use killing moves!
Although he used simple moves to move his chess pieces, every move was calculated to deal the opponent a huge pressure on themselves that they don't know where to move their pieces to escape the enemy attack.
Moreover, the old man was surprised that a young boy could actually think like this!
Where did this boy co from?
Little Zhanzhan finished moving and teaching the old man so he stopped talking. With this, this old man should be able to win the ga now, right? He thought and looked up at the old man to see him staring at him.
Frowning, Little Zhanzhan thought that the old man didn't listen and could only sigh in disappointnt.
He said, "Well, it's okay if you don't listen to . But you should still play a little bit smarter. I'm a kid but why, an old man like you, can't win a ga and move so recklessly?"
The old man's lips twitched when he heard the little boy scold him, but he was not offended. Rather, he was amused by him and asked, "How old are you, little boy?"
Little Zhanzhan thought for a bit before raising seven fingers.
The old man frowned. The boy's height was too small to be seven years old, but children don't usually lie so he believed him. Besides, it was the right age to learn how to play chess.
But the old man didn't know that he had been lied to by the little boy whose age was actually still 3 years old. He would turn 4 in two months but Little Zhanzhan didn't tell him that.
At this mont, Guo Yun finished talking to his phone and realized that Little Zhanzhan left his side. Thankfully, the little boy didn't run off too far and was in the pagoda near the park.
Guo Yun picked him up and nodded at the old man before leaving. But then, he felt strange for so reason.
He looked back towards the old man and thought that the old man looked a bit similar to the country's chess grandmaster, Qin Kun.
But Qin Kun was rumored to retire this year. That grandmaster would certainly not be in a park to play chess, right?
Guo Yun would have never dread that the old man really turned out to be the Chess GrandMaster of the Country. And he would never imagine that Little Zhanzhan scolded him for being stupid and less smarter than a kid.
A middle-aged man wearing a Changpao walked over to stand beside the old man and politely asked, "Master, did those two disturb your ga just now? Were they your fans?"
Qin Kun pulled on his beard and said, "No. I don't think they recognized . But what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that I would like to be alone?"
The middle-aged man was his disciple, Han Che.
Han Che wiped his sweat and replied, "Everybody's worried about you after you left the academy. I kept looking for you in every park in the city and this was the last park I could think of."
As the only senior student of GrandMaster Qin, Han Che knew his master well. He knew that whenever his master would be in a bad mood, he would run off to a park to play a few rounds of chess before returning.
However, after announcing his retirent, the juniors in the Chess Academy were worried that their old master would leave without telling anyone. Thus, they sent him, the senior disciple, to look for their grandmaster.
Han Che wanted to persuade his master to return to eliminate the other student's worries, but then, he couldn't help but be thoughtful when he saw the chessboard in front of him.
"Master, this is… Was the Angel's Gambit a success, after all?" Han Che sat on the other chair across the table and excitedly stared at the chessboard in front of him.
As this country's grandmaster of Chess, Qin Kun has been thinking of making a series of golden moves in Chess. Unfortunately, before the old man could announce his creation of special chess moves, he announced his retirent. Angel's Gambit was the na of the special moves that he wanted to create and showcase to the world.
Unfortunately, it was not easy to think of new moves that could defeat Empress' Gambit and several other chess moves that were created by other grandmasters around the world.
Grandmaster Qin might retire with regrets!
Grandmaster Qin also looked down at the chessboard before him and said, "It is… but I didn't do it."
Han Che: "Huh?"
Grandmaster Qin said, "That boy did it."
Han Che: "..."
What boy? Han Che glanced over to the two small and tall figures that had just left the pagoda and frowned.
Old master, are you sure you're not going senile? How can a little boy or even anyone finish Angel's Gambit by just playing a ga of chess in front of you?!
