Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

They stated that they were self-aware enough to know they were no match for Chen Anxia, ​​and that they had already given up before the battle even began.

Ultimately, Chen Anxia, ​​who couldn't provide guidance on Go, had no choice but to leave the Zishui Go Club.

Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday.

The Go website will be fully maintained and upgraded tomorrow.

This means that Chen Anxia can play chess without any worries...

......

Chapter 36 is unparalleled throughout history, surpassing the entire history of Go!

Saturday.

After a quick wash and breakfast, Chen Anxia went to the computer, opened the Go website he had bookmarked, and entered the website.

Without any unexpected events, Chen Anxia went directly to the Go website.

Then, Chen Anxia saw the maintenance and upgrade announcement that popped up on the Go website.

Through this announcement, Chen Anxia gained a general understanding of the website.

The original Go website could only randomly match opponents.

This matching mechanism has significant flaws, as it often fails to match players with opponents of similar skill levels.

Therefore, in the past, users of Go websites, apart from beginners, would usually look for opponents they had already played against and whose skill level was similar from their own watchlist.

Alternatively, you can use search and invitation functions to invite specific users to play against each other.

This maintenance and upgrade mainly focuses on optimizing and upgrading the matching module, which is then subdivided into three major modules.

These three sections correspond to beginners, amateur players, and professional players, respectively.

Furthermore, within the amateur and professional player categories, there are further subdivisions into corresponding rank levels.

In this way, each player can choose a board that matches their skill level.

In addition, this maintenance and upgrade of the Go website also added a points system.

Points can be earned by winning matches, and each point corresponds to a rank, which allows you to enter the corresponding section to play matches.

For example, if your score has reached the amateur level, you cannot enter the beginner level, and you will be matched with players of the corresponding score level.

It must be said that this maintenance and upgrade of the Go website has greatly enhanced the user's Go playing experience.

Whether you're a beginner or a veteran, you can generally find an opponent of similar skill level, making the game more evenly matched and more interesting.

This was exactly what Chen Anxia wanted to hear, and he couldn't help but silently give a thumbs up to the operation of the Go website.

After understanding the website's basic rules, Chen Anxia began registering as a user.

It's worth mentioning that the Go website only supports letters, numbers, or a combination of letters and numbers for username registration.

Chen Anxia did not delve into why this was the case.

However, Chen Anxia remembered that the Go website that appeared in the anime "Hikaru no Go" seemed to be the same.

Therefore, Hikaru Shindo also gave Fujiwara no Sai the name Sai.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Anxia tried entering the letters 'GG', and the result showed that the username was available.

This means that Chen Anxia can register the username GG.

Chen Anxia really didn't expect that this popular internet slang term from his previous life hadn't been registered by anyone.

This may be due to different times or different worlds, which is why the term "GG" has not developed and become popular in the world of "Hikaru no Go".

This outcome was naturally the best possible result for Chen Anxia.

In its previous life, GG was originally an abbreviation for "good game," meaning "good play," but it later developed into many other meanings.

Of course, this was not the meaning behind Chen Anxia's choice of the name GG.

The GG that Chen Anxia chose is an abbreviation of Go-God, meaning 'God of Go'.

This name represents Chen Anxia's ambition.

Originally, Chen Anxia only wanted to complete the world missions issued by the system and only wanted to stand at the pinnacle of chess.

Now that Chen Anxia is aware of his own abilities, he is no longer satisfied with simply standing at the pinnacle of chess.

Instead, he wanted to achieve the 'divine move' that all Go players in the world pursue, and become the true god of Go.

After registering, Chen Anxia directly clicked into the newbie section and selected matchmaking.

Chen Anxia originally thought that matching would take time, but to her surprise, the website indicated that the match was successful just a few seconds later.

Then, the screen on Chen Anxia's computer changed, and he was taken to the game interface.

Immediately afterwards, two options appeared on the game interface: Single and Double.

Chen Anxia knew that this was the same as guessing who would go first in Go in real life. The website system would then randomly generate stones. If an odd number of stones appeared, the person who guessed the odd number would play black and go first, and vice versa.

Chen Anxia chose odd numbers here, and the number of random numbers generated by the website system afterwards was also odd.

This means that in this game, Chen Anxia will play black and make the first move.

The game of chess began quickly.

Because it was a game between online beginners, Chen Anxia felt no pressure and simply followed his existing knowledge of chess principles to place his pieces on the online chessboard.

First move: the star position in the upper left corner!

After Chen Anxia made his move, his opponent immediately placed his piece in the upper right corner star position.

After a dozen or so moves, Chen Anxia knew that his opponent was obviously a novice who didn't need to think before playing.

Therefore, Chen Anxia played very smoothly and happily.

The game ended just over ten minutes later.

In the end, Chen Anxia, ​​playing black, won by seven and a half points.

Although Chen Anxia was a novice, this was the first game he had played independently.

However, after being baptized by the two major chess principles that remained in his mind, Chen Anxia's chess skills had already unknowingly surpassed the level of a novice.

Chen Anxia also had a direct experience of this.

The intuitive feeling is that during the game, after knowing the opponent's skill level, Chen Anxia was very certain that he could win.

This confidence stems from the difference in chess skill.

Moreover, during the game, Chen Anxia felt that the two chess principles remaining in his mind were constantly merging with him as the game progressed, allowing him to enter a wonderful state of being seemingly enlightened yet not quite.

In this state, every move seems to spark countless inspirations in one's mind, making one feel completely absorbed, and even leading to brilliant moves that one had never thought of before.

If any top-tier chess players knew about this, they would surely be shocked and incredulous.

Because Chen Anxia's state is exactly the state that chess players enter after they have achieved a state of chess enlightenment.

Chess enlightenment is something that chess players can only encounter by chance, and some players may never encounter it even once in their entire lives.

Judging from Chen Anxia's condition, it seemed as if he could enter a state of enlightenment at any time. How could this not shock and disbelieve them?

Not to mention them, even top Go players like Fujiwara no Sai and Meijin Touya would be horrified upon learning of Chen Anxia's situation.

Throughout the entire history of Go, no matter how talented a player is, none can enter a state of enlightenment at any time like Chen Anxia.

If we were to describe Chen Anxia as a genius, then the only answer would be unparalleled throughout history, dominating the entire history of Go...

......

Chapter 37 Mission: Guide Liang Xia to meet!

Before he knew it, Chen Anxia had achieved a fourteen-game winning streak in the beginner section.

After waking up from his chess-playing slumber once again, Chen Anxia felt extremely exhausted.

Chen Anxia was unaware that he had entered a state of chess enlightenment, and he didn't even know the concept of chess enlightenment.

This is quite normal, because the concept of "chess enlightenment" is usually only known to top-tier players in the Go world.

Although Chen Anxia did not know about chess enlightenment, he knew that whenever the chess principles in his mind merged with his own, putting him into that wonderful state, his mind would be in a highly active and excited state.

This results in a much faster rate at which one's mental energy is depleted than usual.

Just now, Chen Anxia played fourteen games in a row.

Furthermore, Chen Anxia entered a state of chess enlightenment during all fourteen games.

The mental energy consumed by these fourteen chess insights combined is what made Chen Anxia feel so exhausted.

After ceasing the game, Chen Anxia decided to rest first and resume his online Go matches once his mental energy had recovered.

Chen Anxia has now become somewhat obsessed with online Go.

Because online Go is virtual, neither player knows the other.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about age or identity when playing Go online.

This allows Chen Anxia to play as he pleases, placing his pieces wherever he wants without being bound by fixed patterns, routines, or layouts.

Even if we lose in the end, it doesn't matter.

After all, online Go is not a major tournament, so losing is just losing and has no impact on Chen Anxia at all.

Therefore, in the fourteen games just now, apart from the influence of his chess understanding, Chen Anxia occasionally made some brilliant moves.

Chen Anxia would also often make moves that were hard to understand.

It is inevitable that most of these moves will eventually turn into bad moves and become factors that are detrimental to Chen Anxia.

However, Chen Anxia didn't care about this.

Because these bad hands are proof of Chen Anxia's own exploration and learning, Chen Anxia thoroughly enjoys this process.

Moreover, although Chen Anxia now considers these moves to be bad moves.

However, when Chen Anxia's chess skills reach a certain level in the future, looking back, these moves might turn out to be brilliant strategies.

In Go, a player's skill level ultimately determines their vision and potential.
