Features: This is a highly mysterious military strategy book regarded in the martial world. It is said that this book was once the heirloom manual of the Southern Beggar, as beggars held a low social status and were often in need of others' help. When playing chess, using large pieces would be considered impolite, so small pawns and soldiers were used at the start to show respect and humility. Additionally, they could test the opponent's strength. Military strategists believe that in warfare, it is generally the orthodox forces that govern, while the unconventional forces achieve victory. Therefore, those chess players skilled in unconventional strategies are often masters. Many players consider the use of pawns and soldiers to be as changeless as the heavens and earth, with their tactics flowing endlessly like rivers and streams on the chessboard and flanks. This book offers unique insights and experiences in defeating the strong with the weak, with novel moves that are highly destructive. At the same time, it is also a textbook for life. The secret games of the martial world are highly practical and entertaining. Due to their profound strategies and hidden brilliant moves, they have been widely circulated and have had a significant influence. This set of chess manuals is carefully selected from various handwritten copies or orally transmitted chess games, with many games being presented to the public for the first time and being highly representative. To provide readers with a deeper understanding of this manual, while preserving the original style, we have added annotations in many places.
