Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

The reason this is possible is entirely due to the principles of Go from Wu Qingyuan.

At this moment, Chen Anxia was unaware that the chess principles he was applying came from a top chess player named Wu Qingyuan.

However, Chen Anxia knew that the chess principles he was currently applying were completely comparable to those of Tengen Dosai.

Of course, Chen Anxia also did not know who Tianyuan Daozai was.

However, Chen Anxia knew that Tengen Dosai was capable of drawing with Fujiwara no Sai.

This gives an idea of ​​the strength of his chess theory.

And how weak could a chess theory that is comparable to his be?

Without hesitation, Chen Anxia picked up another white chess piece and placed it directly onto the chessboard.

During this process, Chen Anxia gradually entered a state of enlightenment regarding chess.

Because Shigeharu and Kenjiro were focused on the game, they didn't notice Chen Anxia's unusual behavior for a moment.

After Chen Anxia made several seemingly ordinary moves, Kenjiro Shezuka's brows furrowed slightly.

In Kenjiro Yamazuka's eyes, there were clearly better places to place the pieces, but Chen Anxia perfectly avoided those spots and placed the pieces on those ordinary spots that Yamazuka also considered to be quite ordinary.

If it's because Chen Anxia's vision was limited, thus preventing him from discovering all the possible moves he could see, that would be plausible.

However, Kenjiro Yamato knew that if Chen Anxia was indeed the child Shintaro Ichiyanagi described, then he would definitely be able to see some of the possible moves.

So why did Chen Anxia make such an ordinary move?

Is it because Chen Anxia is not the child that Shintaro Ichiyanagi described, or is it because these seemingly ordinary chess pieces contain a mystery that he himself has not yet discovered?

Thinking this, Kenjiro Shezuka couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia.

Upon seeing this, Kenjiro Yamato was stunned, his face showing disbelief, and he murmured, "This is... Go Go!?"

"He actually entered a state of enlightenment during the game!?"

As he spoke, Kenjiro Yamazuka seemed to have thought of something, and he couldn't help but focus his attention on the chess move that Chen Anxia had made earlier.

If these seemingly ordinary moves were made by Chen Anxia in a state of enlightenment, then they must not be as ordinary as they appear on the surface.

After a few more moves, Kenjiro Yamato seemed to have discovered something, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, Kenjiro Yamato was not yet certain of his discovery, so he could only suppress his restless thoughts and continue watching.

Time passed gradually, and the game entered the middle stage.

Only then did Kenjiro Yamato finally confirm his discovery, his expression turning to shock as he uttered incredulously, "This principle of Go, this principle of Go..."

Shintaro Ichiyanagi, who had been watching his son's game closely, was slightly taken aback when he heard his old friend's words.

Shintaro Ichiyanagi actually detected a hint of fear in his old friend's words.

In his heart, Shintaro Ichiyanagi murmured, 'What kind of chess principle could possibly instill fear in his old friend, a professional 9-dan player whose mind has been tempered by countless trials?'

Chapter 113 Remarks on the launch

This book will be available at 00:05 on February 1st. I would like to thank my editor, Xiaoyuan, and all the readers who have supported this book.

As you all know, the release of a book is the time to test its success, so I sincerely ask all readers to support and subscribe to this book.

This book is just the beginning. Chen Anxia will travel to many more wonderful worlds and bring you exciting stories.

By the way, you can now earn valuable Qidian coins by watching videos on Qidian every day. If you spend a little time watching videos for a few minutes each day, the coins you earn are more than enough to support your subscription, which is essentially free.

Enough with the sentimental talk, let's get straight to the point and talk about the extra chapters and bonus chapters after the book is released.

First, there will be a burst of updates upon release. Five chapters will be released at 00:05 on February 1st, and the remaining three chapters will be added gradually throughout the day tomorrow, making a total of eight chapters tomorrow.

As for daily updates, as long as subscriptions remain normal and don't crash, I'll release at least three chapters a day after it's published.

Currently, this book doesn't have many collections, only 17,000.

Based on the normal subscription-to-order ratio, the first subscription for this book should be over a thousand.

Here's a rule for adding extra chapters.

Based on the initial subscription of 1,000, one more chapter will be added for every additional 200 subscriptions. If the initial subscription reaches 2,000, then four chapters will be added every day for the first month after the book is published.

As for an initial order of 3,000, well... normally that's impossible.

In addition to the average subscription, one extra chapter will be added for every 300 additional monthly tickets.

If you donate, I will add one chapter for every 10,000 donations during the first month after the book is released.

I dare not set any more goals; I'm a clumsy writer, and these extra chapters will require me to work myself to the bone to make up for them.

Enough said, the author's off to furiously write!

Chapter 114 The Unyielding Spirit, the Incomplete Dragon! (First Update, Please Subscribe)

Under the watchful eyes of two top-tier Go players, Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Ken Yamazuka, the game between Anxia Chen and Kiyoharu Yamazuka continued.

Soon, Shintaro Ichiyanagi also seemed to have discovered something, and his expression gradually became suspicious and uncertain.

After that, Shintaro Ichiyanagi realized that Chen Anxia had entered a state of chess enlightenment, and his face showed the same expression as Kenjiro Yamatozuka.

As for She Qingchun, who was playing chess with Chen Anxia, ​​his limited chess skills prevented him from noticing anything unusual.

In She Qingchun's eyes, every move Chen Anxia made in chess seemed quite ordinary, with no brilliant moves or bad ones.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "mediocre".

Perhaps, playing by the rules is his philosophy in chess.

After placing his piece, Shigeharu looked at the chessboard before him and murmured to himself.

However, although Chen Anxia's chess theory was conventional, She Qingchun had to admit that Chen Anxia's chess skills were indeed quite good.

The game has now entered the middle stage, but Shigeharu Shigezuka, wielding the sharp blade of Shigezuka Kengo, has failed to gain any advantage over Chen Anxia.

But this actually aligns with Kiyoharu She's vision.

As the creator of the Tianyuan Star Five-Five Layout, She Qingchun was well aware that this layout had a major flaw: it was most vulnerable to a fierce attack on its corners by the opponent during the layout phase.

After all, neither the center point, nor the star position, nor the 5-5 position are strong defensive forces for the corners.

This means that if the opponent launches a fierce attack on the edges and corners during the setup phase, they are very likely to gain an advantage.

This advantage is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Black, who is already at a five-and-a-half-point disadvantage.

Today, Kiyoharu Sha can only try to fill this gap by using the principles of Go inherited from Ken Shazuka.

At the same time, She Qingchun also knew that if he could not truly eliminate this flaw, then this plan would probably only be able to stop at the professional level.

In She Qingchun's original plan, Chen Anxia's skill and vision should have been able to see this flaw and launch a fierce attack on the corners during the opening stage.

Therefore, Kiyoharu Yamamoto is ready for a major battle, and the principles of Go inherited from Ken Yamamoto are also ready to be put to use.

However, She Qingchun did not expect that Chen Anxia would not do that, but instead made a series of moves that seemed quite ordinary to him.

She Qingchun was unaware of Chen Anxia's thoughts.

Of course, at this moment, She Qingchun doesn't need to know Chen Anxia's thoughts.

In She Qingchun's view, Chen Anxia had given him a perfect start, essentially handing him victory over.

The true power of the Tianyuan Star Five-Five Opening will gradually become apparent after the game enters the middle stage.

After Chen Anxia placed another piece, She Qingchun reached out and picked up a black piece, staring at a certain point on the board with a glint in his eyes.

At this moment, the aura of She Qingchun's Go style suddenly erupted and gradually merged into the black stones in his hand.

The next moment, a black streak of light flashed across the void, within which a domineering and majestic dragon head seemed to appear, roaring as it fell into the solid ground of the chessboard.

Then, on the solid ground of the chessboard, an invisible and unsolidified dragon body appeared, seemingly about to connect with the dragon's head.

At the same time, She Qingchun firmly thought to herself, "Yiliu, I'm sorry, but the person you've been pursuing will be defeated by me!"

Unbeknownst to She Qingchun, Chen Anxia paused slightly upon seeing his move, muttering softly, "An incomplete... dragon?"

As they spoke, Chen Anxia, ​​who was deep in thought about the game, saw one after another dazzling point of light with varying brightness appear on the chessboard.

Chen Anxia knew that these dazzling lights were all chess moves manifested from the inspiration of chess principles.

Then, Chen Anxia looked at one of the dazzling spots of light and directly reached out to pick up a piece and place it.

Snapped!

In the hands of Kiyoharu Yamazuki, this was another seemingly ordinary move, but in the eyes of Ken Yamazuki and Shintaro Ichiyanagi, it had already secretly stirred up waves in the game.

Seemingly sensing Chen Anxia's intentions, both Kenjiro Yamazuka and Shintaro Ichiyanagi became very serious.

Meanwhile, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Otoko Iwashima were also playing a game of Go.

In this game, Iwashima played black and made the first move.

According to the rules of the game, Iwashima Man needs to bear a disadvantage of five and a half points.

At this point, the game has entered the middle stage, and the overall situation is beginning to emerge.

In this initial situation, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's white stones did not have an advantage; in fact, they were at a slight disadvantage.

Of course, if we include the five and a half points of komi, then Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's white stones still have the advantage.

However, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi understood that, given the current situation, Iwashima's strategic planning skills were clearly superior to his own.

This fact made Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's expression extremely solemn.

Shinsuke Ichiyanagi didn't know how good Iwashima was at the mid-game and endgame, but he knew he didn't want to lose, especially after he had sworn an oath in front of Chen Anxia.

Thinking about it, Ichiyanagi Shinsuke let out a soft breath, his expression shaking off its wavering and beginning to become resolute.

Shinsuke Ichiyanagi was confident of his victory.

After all, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's philosophy of Go was inherited from Shintaro Ichiyanagi, the former holder of the title of Go Saint.

At the same time, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi also didn't believe that this wicked little fox brat in front of him could be someone of the same level as Akira Touya or even Anxia Chen.

Shinsuke Ichiyanagi picked up a white Go stone, infused it with the Go spirit that erupted at that moment, and then transformed it into a thunderbolt that struck the Go board.

Then, the beast formed from the aura of the game of Go leaped out from the white Go piece and roared at Iwashima, its roar containing Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's will and belief.
