"Okay, then let's play a game that tests our IQ and strategy..."
Shi Xiaobai chuckled and said: "Flying Chess!"
The Queen obviously didn't know about this strange chess game from the earth, but since she dared to let Shi Xiaobai designate it, she must have been mentally prepared for it as she had never played before.
The Queen smiled calmly and said, "I have never played flying chess before. Could you please explain the rules?"
"good."
Shi Xiaobai nodded matter-of-factly, took out a piece of white paper for drawing from the desk, and drew a flying chess board on the white paper. The squares on the chessboard should have four colors: red, yellow, blue and green. Xiaobai couldn't find any color pens, so he had to use words instead of colors.
The four areas of the flying chess board with different colors are arranged in a regular pattern. You can draw it by remembering the color of one side. Shi Xiaobai easily drew the flying chess board.
Later, four golden coins and four silver coins were found from the debris in the drawer, which were used to replace the flying chess pieces.
After Shi Xiaobai prepared the chess board and chess pieces, he began to explain the rules of flying chess to the Queen.
In fact, the rules of flying chess are simple and easy to understand. Each side initially has four flying chess pieces parked on the apron. If a 6 or 5 appears when rolling the dice, you can choose to let a chess piece take off, and then throw the dice to determine the number of steps to move the chess piece. The chess pieces need to fly around for a circle to reach the stopping end point. Whoever sends all four flying chess pieces to their own stopping end point first wins.
The more detailed rules are actually just six rules: "take off", "reward for consecutive throws", "stacked pieces", "colliding pieces", "jumping pieces of the same color", and "dotted line flying chess".
In fact, these six rules are not complicated. You can understand them as soon as you hear them. Among many chess games, flying chess can be regarded as one of the simpler rules.
And for ordinary people, the biggest factor that affects the outcome of a game of flying chess is actually luck. The luck of throwing the dice determines the advantages and disadvantages of both parties. If the dice is rolled well and "6" appears frequently to trigger the continuous throw bonus, then the moving steps The number will obviously be higher than the other party.
And many times, due to bad luck, the flying chess has arrived on the parking lot, but it is still unable to get the required dice points, resulting in the inability to stop smoothly, delaying the advantage, and ultimately ruining the result.
Therefore, for ordinary people, Ludo is a casual chess game that is easy to learn and understand, and luck is far greater than strategy. It is suitable for children's entertainment.
However, after the Queen listened to all the rules, she lowered her head and pondered for a moment. She couldn't help but raise her head and said: "This chess game chosen by my husband is really complicated. It really tests wisdom and strategy. Don't blame me for not being able to do it." Let me remind you, my IQ scares even me, are you sure your husband wants to choose this kind of chess game that almost completely tests your wisdom and strategy?"
Shi Xiaobai smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I often wonder why there are such smart beings like me in the world, so the competition of wisdom and strategy is my biggest advantage and strength. No matter how strong you are, you can't. It may be stronger than this king."
The Queen covered her mouth and smiled: "Since my husband is so confident, how about playing flying chess?"
Shi Xiaobai nodded and said: "Come on, I will let you deeply taste the despair of 'not being able to fly to the end'!"
... ...
... ...
Flying chess, in the eyes of ordinary people, is an entertaining chess game consisting mostly of luck and a small part of strategy. In Shi Xiaobai's view, it is a chess game that tests wisdom and strategy. In the eyes of the Queen, It is a game that almost completely tests wisdom and strategy.
Why is this happening
Was Shi Xiaobai fooling the Demon Queen, and then the Demon Queen took advantage of the situation to make fun of her
of course not!
But because in their opinion, flying chess is really much more complicated than most chess games, and can even be called the most complex chess game!
You may find it ridiculous, but Ludo is obviously a luck-based chess game in which the outcome is determined by the luck of the dice, and there are only four chess pieces that can be controlled! How could it be linked to complexity
You may think that Shi Xiaobai and the Queen are joking.
But in fact, you have overlooked the most important point. The most different thing between Shi Xiaobai and the Queen is from ordinary people - for them, there is no need for luck in throwing dice!
Yes, with their strength and stable control of power, they can roll any dice they need at any time!
For them, rolling dice is even a process that they can skip directly. All they need to consider is what points they should roll this round!
And after completely abandoning the element of luck, what level of complexity does flying chess reach? Let me analyze it in detail with you.
First of all, in flying chess, there is a continuous throwing reward mechanism. When you roll a "6", you can get a reward of rolling another dice. However, in order to prevent the player from being able to roll a "6" an unlimited number of times, in In the improved rules, if you roll "6" three times in a row, you will be punished. All your own chess pieces, including those that have reached the end point, will be driven back to the apron and immediately enter the opponent's turn.
Therefore, when chess players can control the throwing points at will, they can control 1 to 18 at will, for a total of 18 types of moves.
In flying chess, there are also jumpers of the same color (when a chess piece reaches a grid of the same color, it will jump to the next grid of the same color.) and dotted line flying chess (chess pieces of each color have a line across the map) If you fall on the dotted line area of the quarter map and fall at the starting point of the dotted line area, you can jump over the quarter map, and make another jump of the same color to complete a large leap of up to 16 steps). These two jumping rules, so chess The hand can control the advancement distance of the chess piece by more than 18.
According to calculations, starting from the apron, if the same chess piece is used three times in a row, a maximum of 42 steps can be advanced!
In other words, each player's chess piece has a total of 42 changes in each round!
The chess player has a total of 4 pieces!
In addition, players can choose not to roll 6 to trigger the continuous roll bonus. Each round, they can choose 1 action, 2 actions or 3 actions, a total of 3 choices.
So how many variables can a player bring to the game during his own turn
The answer is 42 times 4 times 3—504 variables!
In addition, there are stacking pieces (your own flying chess will stack together and become one piece when they reach the same grid), and collision pieces (your own flying chess will fall on the head of the enemy's flying chess, which can knock the enemy's flying chess away. Square chess pieces are driven back to the apron), these two operations change the number of chess pieces on the field.
The chess players' actions during their own turn can cause far more than 504 variables to the chess game, or even more than a thousand!
What does this sentence mean
In other words, when you play chess in your own turn, you have a thousand ways to play, and after you finish playing chess, you have to consider how the opponent's next thousand solutions will affect the situation. changes.
And this is just one round of the game. We all know that really good chess players will usually calculate the situation after the third, fourth, or even tenth round. In flying chess, you have to think about ten rounds, so How many variables need to be considered
One thousand to the tenth power!
It’s incredibly complicated!
