He put the white piece close to him, testing his opponent's response to see if he would still ignore him.

When Asai saw this, he was sure that his opponent wanted to fight with him. As expected, his choice should be correct, which further strengthened his thinking.

He knew that if he didn't adopt the teacher's strategy, the teacher would definitely be unhappy.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as he wins the game in the end, the teacher will surely understand.

No matter which strategy is adopted, winning the game is the most important thing. He must win this game, so he must take the most stable approach.

He still ignored Yuan Ye's move and made another move in the direction of the black piece at another corner.

In the layout phase, he must make full use of the four black pieces in the star positions to establish his own advantages and try to avoid local entanglements with his opponent.

Yuan Ye took a look and nodded secretly, thinking, it seems that this guy is determined to follow his own ideas.

However, this is indeed a wise choice, but I can't just ignore it.

Wherever your opponent makes his move, you must move there too. Although this makes your opponent appear to be very proactive, there is no other way around it. You must make your move in this way to leave opportunities for attack and minimize the opponent's advantage in the layout phase.

The middle game stage is the time for the decisive battle, when you can display your top chess skills and turn the disadvantage around in one fell swoop.

Yuan Ye was prepared for a protracted war. He was very serious in the planning stage, spending a lot of time thinking and carefully planning.

There was basically no fighting between the two sides, and they seemed to be playing according to their own ideas.

At the end of the layout stage, Asai seemed to have established a lot of advantages. A rough calculation showed that he was leading by about twenty points, and Asai was very satisfied.

Iwata Kaoru also breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, it seemed that Asai was doing a good job according to his own ideas and the progress was still smooth.

Su Xiwu and Iwai Yuichi also saw that Asai had a considerable advantage and were worried about Yuan Ye.

I sighed in my heart, it is not so easy to let a professional second-dan chess player play with four pieces.

Yuan Shikai was still too confident, lacked consideration, and was a bit impulsive.

This chess game is very difficult to play. Can we make up for such a huge disadvantage?

However, Yuan Ye thought that the current situation was acceptable and he still had many opportunities. During the layout phase, some of the idle pieces he placed seemed to have little effect in the eyes of others and did not create any points.

But what they don’t know is that in the middle game stage, these pieces will burst out with amazing combat power.

Sure enough, as soon as the middle game began, Yuan Ye began to attack fiercely, each move was more ingenious than the last, and those idle pieces also began to play a unique role.

This was something Asai had not expected. It was a bit overwhelming for him and he felt a huge sense of oppression.

Before, he thought that if he didn't make any mistakes, he could maintain his advantage. Even if he had to make some concessions, at least he would be able to finish the game smoothly with a slight advantage.

But now it seems a little dangerous and it is no longer possible for him to change his will.

Under the fierce attack of his opponents, he painfully discovered that his territory was shrinking step by step and his advantages were being lost bit by bit.

He was exhausted from defending himself, while his opponent's moves became more and more sophisticated and better, causing him to gradually lose confidence.

Only then did he truly believe that what this guy said was true.

It is true that the more wine you drink, the better you play chess.

What he encountered was a monster!

He panicked and kept thinking for a long time, trying to resolve his opponent's attack, but it was of no avail. Every step of his opponent seemed so perfect.

He watched helplessly as his opponent narrowed the gap and slowly lost his 20-point advantage until he finally surpassed him by 2 points.

Kaoru Iwata watched this process in great pain. He was surprised to find that at the critical stage, Yuan Shikai did not look like he had drunk a lot of alcohol. Instead, he became more and more sober and got better and better.

He had the same thought as Asai: Could it be that what this guy said was true and not just bragging?

Is this really true?

If this is true, then you would be shooting yourself in the foot.

Su Xiwu and Iwai Yuichi also saw that Yuan Ye was making a comeback step by step. They previously thought that some of Yuan Ye's moves were useless, but unexpectedly, he made use of them and they played a crucial role.

This is also what makes them feel magical. They don’t know whether he had planned it or it was just a coincidence.

But in short, they found that every move Yuan Ye made in the middle game was very good, and some of them even surprised them.

Anyway, this game of chess is more interesting and exciting than the one played with Gangcun.

Yuan Ye drank so much alcohol, but he became more and more sober, and the more he drank, the better!

This shows that what he said is true. The more he drinks, the better he plays chess. He is truly a genius!

Everyone present believed Yuan Ye's words to some extent, although of course their feelings were different.

It was exciting for Su Xiwu and Iwai Yuichi as they witnessed a genius.

For Kaoru Iwata, it was a shock and a regret.

As for Asai, he had completely lost his fighting spirit. He made a few moves reluctantly and ended the battle hastily. He knew that he would not gain any advantage in the final stage.

He lost the game, but not by much, only by two points.

In fact, he felt that he had played very well and had a chance of winning, but his opponent performed beyond his level, which was actually because he drank a lot of alcohol.

He was a little unconvinced and blamed Iwata Kaoru in his heart. If he hadn't been so smart, he would not have lost at all.

I was extremely embarrassed this time. I lost to a little-known Chinese player by giving him four pieces. It was so frustrating.

But now that we have lost, what’s the point of saying anything more?

He had to admit in his heart that Yuan Shikai was still capable and was better than himself, even when he was not drinking.

Of course, even when this person drank a lot of alcohol, his chess skills were still terrifying.

But his real level is not enough to let his four sons win.

To be honest, there are probably not many people who can give him four pieces. Even his teacher, Kaoru Iwata, can only give him one piece at most as his chess skills have improved.

Yuan Ye won this round, so he naturally wouldn't let Asai go. Seeing Asai's dejected look, Yuan Ye said:

"Asai-kun, since you lost, I think you should fulfill your promise now, right?"

Although Asai was a little unconvinced, he had nothing to say. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he had no choice but to say, although he was extremely reluctant:

"I admit that I lost. Gangcun-kun was drunk. I apologize to you on his behalf and take back what I said before."

Yuan Ye saw that he was very reluctant and knew that these devils were very stubborn and would not apologize sincerely.

In fact, Yuan Ye didn't care about their apology. The reason why he did this was just to take the opportunity to humiliate these Japanese devils and vent his anger through playing chess.
