This simple and straightforward data may not allow you to intuitively feel the complexity of flying chess, so let’s compare a few well-known chess games. After all, there is no harm without comparison.
For example, Go is extremely complex among chess games.
The Go board consists of 19 rows and 19 columns of squares, with a total of 361 intersection points. This means that the chess pieces played by the players each time can produce 361 kinds of variables on the battle situation. However, as we all know, the intersection points will be occupied by chess pieces. Currently, The number of positions a chess piece can occupy depends on how many chess pieces there are on the board and how many intersection points are left.
Therefore, in Go, the chess players play in the first round will produce 361 changes in the battle situation, but this will be reduced to 360 in the second round. Of course, there are situations in Go where you can kill and capture pieces, but there are also It’s just a matter of letting the variables rise again. There can never be more than 361 types!
In other words, even in the extremely complex game of Go, there are only a maximum of 361 variations of actions in each round, which is far from comparable to the thousands of variations in Ludo!
Let’s take another well-known game - chess.
The complexity of chess is slightly higher than that of Go in that each player can control up to 16 chess pieces per round, while Go can only control one chess piece per round.
However, the complexity of chess is inferior to that of Go because the chess pieces in chess have too few variables. Needless to say, chess pieces like generals and soldiers, which are limited to move in one area, have too few variables. The pawns can only move one square in a straight line at first. , the variables are even more pitiful.
The horse can cross the river, but the movement rules are too limited. It can move in up to four directions, horizontally and vertically, with a total of eight movements, but it will be blocked by other chess pieces, and sometimes it will fall into a situation where even one movement cannot be performed.
Rooks and cannons can be regarded as the most variable chess pieces in chess. They can move horizontally and vertically in any square, and cannons can also jump to kill. However, the positions that rooks and cannons can move on the chessboard are actually quite limited, because of the The chessboard is just composed of 9 horizontal and 10 vertical squares. If you remove the dangerous positions in the chess game, the variables that rooks and cannons can cause are very limited.
Therefore, although chess can control many chess pieces, each type of chess piece has too few variables. The variables it can cause in each round are relatively floating, but it will never exceed Go, let alone be compared with flying chess!
The same goes for chess.
So the conclusion is already obvious. When the players can control the throwing points of the dice at will, the complexity of flying chess far exceeds that of Go, chess and chess!
This is why Shi Xiaobai and the Queen of the Demons call flying chess a game that “tests wisdom and strategy very much”!
... ...
... ...
In any chess game, there will be tactical differences between the first mover and the second mover. The same is true for flying chess. With the insistence of the Queen, Shi Xiaobai finally became the first mover.
This seems to be the Queen's initiative to let Shi Xiaobai gain the advantage first, but it is actually the strategy chosen by the Queen.
Shi Xiaobai soon felt the meaning of what the Queen said, "I am afraid of even myself because of my concubine's intelligence".
The Queen's IQ is indeed terrifying, and her every step of calculation is perfect, leaving Shi Xiaobai completely without a chance.
Shi Xiaobai took off two chess pieces first, allowing one of them to complete a jump of the same color.
The Queen then took off three chess pieces, and rolled a "5" when rolling the dice for the third time. She took off but did not trigger the bonus for the third consecutive throw, and did not let any chess pieces join the battle.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Xiaobai's nightmare arrived.
He and the Demon Queen started diagonally, with him holding the red chess and the Demon Queen holding the green chess. Only when Shi Xiaobai's chess piece passed the green aerodrome, the Demon Queen would let his chess piece go out of the safe area, and then play against Shi Xiaobai bumps the pieces and drives Shi Xiaobai's pieces that have crossed the line back to the apron.
Expelling the opponent's flying chess is a very simple and commonly used strategy, but when this strategy reaches the level of meticulousness of the Queen, it will turn into a terrorist action.
As the first mover, Shi Xiaobai's attack is of course his first choice, but none of his chess pieces can fly to the finish line. As long as they exceed the green aerodrome, they will be knocked back by the Queen!
This is not a simple matter. As long as the Queen makes a little calculation error, Shi Xiaobai's chess pieces will jump to the end. But the scary thing is that the Queen does not make any mistakes!
No matter how Shi Xiaobai's flying chess moves, whether it is detouring in front of the green aerodrome, or flying chess with jumpers across a wide range of areas, or flying double pieces on top of each other, the Queen has seen through it in advance, and has already laid out traps and solutions. Able to knock Shi Xiaobai's chess piece back to the apron!
The Queen used four chess pieces to block all possibilities for Shi Xiaobai to fly to the finish line!
"I heard that my husband wants me to feel the 'despair of not being able to fly to the finish line'?"
The Queen's smile is astonishingly beautiful, and her smile exudes impeccable confidence.
Shi Xiaobai was silent for a moment and said softly: "Is this why you insist on taking a back-up plan?"
The Demon Queen nodded, blinked and said, "I don't want to taste the despair of not being able to fly to the end."
Shi Xiaobai chuckled and said: "Very good and very strong. I have to say that you made me a little more interested. Your defense is perfect, but it is only limited to defense. You just defend without attacking. Your The chess pieces also cannot reach the end."
The Demon Queen covered her mouth and said with a smile: "What your husband said makes sense, but I have something to say. I am always on the defensive, but my husband is also always on the offensive? If I am always on the offensive without any defense, I am afraid that my husband will reveal his flaws sooner or later. I will not be merciful at this time."
Shi Xiaobai grinned and said: "Flaw? It doesn't exist."
The two looked at each other, stopped "provoking" each other, turned their attention to the chessboard, and thought more seriously and carefully.
The next game was just as Shi Xiaobai said. While he was attacking frequently, he always considered the possibility of the opponent's counterattack. His attacks seemed blind and random, but in fact they blocked the Queen's ability to counterattack from defense. Chance.
The Demon Queen also kept trying to find loopholes in her defense, but with Shi Xiaobai's equally perfect calculations, she could only continue to defend.
The two people's chess pieces, in the entangled reincarnation of you bumping into me, I bumping into you, have been fighting for a hundred rounds, but still not one of them can fly to the end!
"Husband, you are so smart."
The Queen, who couldn't find a flaw after a hundred rounds, looked at Shi Xiaobai with blurred eyes, and started talking coquettishly, "I'm so smart that I'm getting wet."
Shi Xiaobai didn't understand the hidden meaning of "wet". He was focused on the chessboard and replied: "You are not bad either. You are the first one who can compete with me in flying chess for a hundred rounds without losing." .”
The Queen smiled sweetly and said: "My husband is the first one who can make me find no flaws. If you and I don't make any mistakes in this game, I'm afraid it will last a lifetime."
Shi Xiaobai said: "I don't know whether you will make a mistake, but I cannot make a mistake."
As Shi Xiaobai spoke, he threw the dice to complete his turn. At this time, all four of the Queen's chess pieces were on the chessboard. Shi Xiaobai's first move was to throw a 6, which happened to capture the Queen's chess piece closest to the end. In the second move, another 6 is rolled to allow a piece on the apron to take off.
At this time, Shi Xiaobai only needs to roll "4" for the third time, and he can once again block the Queen's counterattack opportunity during the attack.
However, the rotating dice did not stop at "4" this time. Instead, it suddenly shook and settled on "6"!
Shi Xiaobai's pupils shrank slightly, and the hand that had not been withdrawn froze in place.
The smiling Queen was also a little dazed for a moment, looked up at Shi Xiaobai, and asked doubtfully: "My husband made a mistake!?"
