"Huh? Do you know?" The clown looked at Richard, his voice surprised.

"Yes, I know." Richard nodded and said to the clown with a serious way, "So I'm not proud of you for letting me win a round, and I'm proud of myself. I just think that the current situation is really not suitable for Modesty. If you want to make it clear, you can play a few more games with me."

The clown froze for a moment, slowly saying: "What you want to say will not be, you not only know that I deliberately lost to you, but also deliberately cooperated with me to perform, you can actually win me every game of clown chess?"

"Of course not." Li Cha shook his head, "I'm really not as good as you on the clown chess. At least in a short time, I can't win you. I said that playing chess is playing another kind of chess."

"Another chess, what chess?"

"Gomoku." Richard answered.

"Gomoku?" The clown surprised. "What kind of chess is this?"

"It's a very simple chess." Richard picked up the black and white chess pieces. "There is only one rule for this chess: the two sides play separately. Which side has the first five pieces connected in a line is considered a win. By the way, the place where the pieces are placed is not Inside the grid, is the intersection of horizontal and vertical lines, like this." Said, Li Cha put his chess pieces.

The rules are indeed simple. Richard just put it on, and the clown will understand-in fact, as long as he can count, and he is not blind, he will definitely understand.

The rules are so simple, but it makes the clown slightly suspicious: "Do you really want to play this kind of game with me... is it simpler than real beast chess?"

"Correct."

"Who will go first?"

"I'm going first." Richard said, picking up a black chess piece and placing it on the chessboard, giving a deceptive answer.

"This-any explanation?" the clown asked, blinking.

"Of course there is an explanation." Li Cha replied, "The rule of backgammon is that the one who holds the blackspot goes first. As for who holds the blacks first, there are many ways to determine it. But the most important point is whoever wears the clown mask No sunspots are allowed."

"Huh?" After hearing Richard's words, the clown couldn't help saying: "The last rule will not be the one you just added, passerby?"

"But it doesn't matter, it's just like you said before,'The man sitting in the west, the clown moves first.'" Richard chatted, "If you feel unfair, Mr. Clown, you can take off your mask, and then Hold sunspots."

"Forget it," the clown said. "I just hold white, but I think holding white is more advantageous."

"you sure?"

"determine."

"Well, please." Li Cha waved his hand.

The clown didn't speak anymore, took a white pawn and thought about it, and put it in the position where Licha's pawn was lower.After seeing it, Richard had almost no thoughts and immediately picked up the second black piece and placed it beside the clown and white pieces.

In this way, two black, one white and three pieces form a right triangle, which looks like an abstract crescent moon.

The clown was a little surprised at Richard's play of chess so neat.After all, when playing clown chess before, even if he was extremely familiar with the move, he would still think about it for a long time.Now Richard's movement makes him unable to bear some doubts about whether he will get bored.

So the clown pondered for a long time before carefully playing the second white pawn.

As a result, the clown's pieces just fell, and Richard's black pieces fell down, almost in no particular order.

The clown looked at Richard, and Richard just made another gesture.

"Uh--"

The clown looked back at the chessboard and fell into contemplation. He could not see any traps in Richard's move, but out of caution, he chose to block the road where Richard could form a line of five children.

then……

"Snapped!"

Richard is back again, and he still doesn't seem to think about it.

The clown twisted some body, some irritability and restlessness, but couldn't figure out where the emotions were coming from, took a deep breath, and patiently walked with Richard.

"Pap Pap Pap Pap..."

The pieces keep falling.

The clown has to think about it for a while before he plays chess, and Richard takes the game.

That's it, about three minutes later.

"Snapped!"

Immediately after the clown fell, Richard immediately followed, and said, "Mr. Clown, you lost."

"Well, lost?" The clown was stunned. I didn't believe it. "Where did I lose? Now on the chessboard, you don't seem to have any five children connected in a line."

"Indeed." Li Cha did not deny that he pointed somewhere with his hand. "But there are two crossed three-child connections. No matter which end you choose to block, I will form a five-child connection in three steps. ."

"This--" The clown took a long tone and carefully looked at the position pointed out by Richard. He was not stupid. After a while, he understood the mystery and said frankly, "It seems that I did lose. I didn't expect it to be so simple. I would suddenly lose such an unknown piece of chess."

"Actually, it has nothing to do with the rules of chess pieces. As long as you choose to play backgammon with me, you will definitely lose." Richard said, "This is more absolute than me and you playing clown chess."

"Impossible." The clown did not believe it.

"Then we can play another set." Richard said.

"Good." The clown agreed.

"Mr. Clown, are you going to take off the mask this time, and take the sunspot first?" Li Cha asked, "I kindly remind you that you can never win without taking off the mask."

"Passers, don't say so absolute words." The clown grabbed a white pawn, and said quietly, "Maybe after this game, you have to consider how to take back your words."

"Okay, then." Richard said no more, picked up the black pawn and landed on the chessboard.

The clown followed the falling piece, but at the moment of falling, he paused for a moment, as if he realized what he was, instead of placing it under the Richard Chess piece as before, but placing it diagonally above the Richard Chess piece.

Richard immediately dropped the second piece. Although it seemed unthinkable, the drop also changed from the previous game, falling diagonally below the first piece and aligned with Baizi at a point.

In this way, the three pieces still form a right triangle. Compared with the first set of triangles, the volume has doubled, like a bigger moon.

The clown settled on the chessboard for a long while, seriously thinking about possible follow-up moves, and then played the second white spot. Richard immediately played the third.

The clown dropped the third Baizi, and Richard dropped the fourth.

...

Falling off constantly.

But this time it took more than two minutes, and Richard announced the result: "Mr. Clown, you lost again." Then he pointed to a corner of the chessboard.

The clown looked at it and immediately saw a cross three links similar to the previous one.

This!

The eyes under the clown's mask widened slightly.

Richard didn't seem to see it. Lisuo put away the pawns and looked up and asked, "Will we have a third game?"

"Come!" the clown said in a deep voice.

"Okay," Richard said, quickly falling, and the clown followed.

"Pappa..."

In a blink of an eye, another two minutes later.

This time, without waiting for Richard to speak, the clown uttered: "It seems I lost again, right?"

"Yes." Richard gave the answer, "Are you still here?"

"Come!" The clown's voice sounded like it was squeezed through the teeth.

"Okay." Richard nodded, packed the chessboard, and fell again.

After two minutes.

Joker: "Come again!"

After two minutes.

Joker: "Come again!"

After two minutes.

Joker: "Come again!"

The same process is repeated repeatedly, as if there is some confusion in time...

...
