I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

The boy chose the same move, blocking the opponent's pawn's path with the same piece on the same square.

In chess, pawns move in a straight line, just like in Chinese chess, and cannot move backward. However, a pawn's first move can advance two squares, and afterwards it can only move one square.

When capturing pieces, it differs significantly from the pawn in Chinese chess. It must be captured diagonally. That is, if the opponent has a piece in your upper right or upper left, the pawn can be moved to the opponent's piece's position and captured it.

When a pawn moves to the last row on the opponent's board, it can be promoted, meaning it can evolve into a rook, knight, queen, or bishop. Once the conditions for promotion are met, it must be promoted.

However, at present, both pawns on the board are blocked by the opponent. The next move will either leave the two pawns stuck in place or engage in fierce attack and defense around the survival of the two pawns!

After all, these two soldiers, locked in a standoff and facing off, are both from the King's side!

"Ma G1 advances to F3."

The white horse was aimed at the opponent's black pawn.

"Ma B8 advances to C6."

The dark horse made corresponding defensive moves.

Unconsciously, the truth became clear...

Although I don't understand it, I can tell they are very capable.

The girl with long, straight black hair blinked, still trying to recall the chess moves she had just looked up online.

However, the rules don't say that you have to announce the position of your piece when you play...

Hmm... is it to sound more imposing by saying it like that?

###Chapter 602 Clash###

"White Elephant F1 into C5".

"Dark horse G8 advances to F6".

"Soldier D2 advances to D3."

"Pawn A7 advances to A6".

……

Unlike the knight in Chinese chess, the knight in international chess does not have a "knight's leg" (or "knight's foot").

The elephant can only move diagonally, with no limit on the number of steps, and cannot jump over other pieces.

The car goes straight, with no limit on the number of steps, but cannot jump over the boundary.

The Queen is essentially a combination of the Rook and the Elephant; it can move diagonally or straight, with no limit on the number of moves, but it cannot jump over other pieces.

The King is essentially a weakened Queen; he can move in any direction, but only one space.

The soldiers advance, and each soldier can move two squares on its first move, and then only one square on its next move.

The girl with long, straight black hair silently reviewed the most basic rules of walking that she had just learned.

She had never played chess before, so she didn't know the rules.

The two players were moving so fast it was dazzling. Before you could even react to what piece they had picked up or what moves they could make, they had already picked up the next piece.

wrong……

Dazzling array, yet it seems like I'm all alone.

Horikita Suzune glanced at Anshu, who was sitting in a chair staring intently at the chessboard, and the little maid behind him combing his hair.

Teacher An Shu didn't seem troubled at all. He must have played before, so he looked very relaxed. Unlike them, who had to think about what a piece was, what the rules were, and what the special rules were for each move as soon as they picked up a piece, they couldn't keep up with their pace at all.

And that Rem doesn't seem grateful for the game at all... So, it seems like I'm the only one who looks really tired.

"..."

Shaking off her jumbled thoughts, Horikita Suzune turned her gaze back.

I was stunned for a moment when I first saw it.

In just a few seconds, the chessboard had changed its appearance.

Although I haven't thought about chess and don't know much about its difficulty, do they really not need to think when they play?

Don't tell me you've already thought about it!

"White Elephant B5 advances to C6, defeating the dark horse."

Are they already exchanging pieces?

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka paused for a moment, then picked up the chess pieces: "Pawn D7 advances to C6, capturing the white elephant."

"White Horse F3 advances to E5, capturing the black pawn."

"Black Queen D8 enters E4."

He thrust his hips forward, pretending to be tugging at a horse.

"White Horse E5 to C4".

"Black F8 into C5".

Without the slightest hesitation, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka grabbed the black horse and placed it on top of the other's white horse.

Move the elephant forward, then the queen takes the F2's troops, and use the queen to checkmate the king for a decisive victory!

Although Kiyotaka Ayanokoji didn't think the other party was so easy to deal with...

really……

"White Elephant C1 enters E3."

Did they block the Queen's path?

It happened to block the space between the pawn and the black queen. The pawn captured a piece and moved diagonally, thus protecting the bishop. The bishop moved diagonally, which in turn threatened the queen, who was blocked in the middle by the C knight, D3 pawn, and E4 pawn.

The Empress cannot die now; it would be too much of a loss for her to perish here! But if the Empress leaves, the Black Elephant of C5 will be exposed, and the Black Elephant cannot survive.

No, I can't survive this way... unless I sell the Empress.

Since it can't survive... let's sell another one.

"Black Elephant C8 advances to G4".

She aimed another elephant at her queen.

If she eats her own queen, then she can eat her queen.

After she eats her queen, will she choose to have the king eat the other elephant, or use the white elephant to eat the black elephant that was originally on C5?

If the goal is to capture C5, then my other elephant can capture her C3 pawn. Her best move is for her king to move diagonally forward 1 square, and then my elephant moves diagonally to the lower left 3 squares to escape! I lost one elephant and one queen, and she lost one queen and one pawn.

However, if the goal is to capture the elephant to the right of the king on D1, then you can use the elephant on C5 to capture the opponent's last white elephant. It's a queen-elephant exchange, so you won't lose much!

Of course, she could strike first and use her queen to capture the elephant on G4, but don't forget that her dark horse is still on F6, watching it.

So her move is still a two-for-two exchange, one back and one elephant.

She could choose to eat the horse in F6 first, but she has troops in G7, so in the end she still doesn't lose out.

That's how chess is played: predict how many possible moves your opponent can make in the next three or even five moves, and then respond accordingly.

Theoretically, she might choose the first option because that way she could earn a little bit.

"Soldier F2 advances to F3."

Is my path to becoming a G4 elephant blocked? I don't want to make a choice...

That's really impressive.

This step has once again blocked his own path.

We must take out her F3 pawn now, otherwise my G4 bishop will have died for nothing.

"Black Elephant G4 enters F3, and takes the creeps."

"White Queen D1 enters F3, eats Black Elephant."

"Black Elephant C5 advances to B4, checkmate."

"White Horse B1 advances to D2."

"Black Queen D5 retreats to D8".

"Soldier C2 advances to C3."

"Black Elephant B4 retreats to E7".

Hmm, is that so?

The result was still like a troop exchange, a small loss, but the worst outcome is still possible.

Fortunately, the two flags that were just trapped have been freed, and we've regained our mobility. This is just the beginning!

###Chapter 603 The Victor###

"Ayanokouji-san, please take this game seriously." The girl, who had a slight advantage, picked up the king and placed it on the left. "Casting."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked at the Go board without looking up and answered directly, "I've been very serious."

The king changed places.

This is a term used in chess.

The rules are as follows: if neither the king nor the rook to be castled has moved, the king is not currently in check, there are no other pieces between the two pieces, the square the king passes through during castling is not under attack, and the square the king reaches is not under attack, the king can move two squares toward the rook, and the rook will move past the king and be right next to him.

Let's take the move made by the opponent, the white piece, as an example.

The chessboard has eight squares on the horizontal axis from left to right, labeled abcdefgh.

The number line also has eight sections from bottom to top, numbered 12345678.

The king is positioned at e1, and the white car has one position at a1 and one at h1.

在达成上述条件下，国王可以从e1位移到c1，而a1的车位移到d1；同样，也可以从e1位移到g1，h1的车可以位移到f1。

This special move was primarily designed to limit White's initiative. Because in chess, all pieces can be used for attack, there are many opportunities to checkmate the king.

Without this rule, a king who can only move one square would be stuck near the center in the early to mid-game and would be easily killed.
