Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

The second uncle took out a handwritten chess manual from inside his shirt and solemnly handed it to Su Ran.

With the chess manual in hand, Su Ran immediately focused her gaze intently on it.

next moment.

Six powerful characters immediately caught his eye:

A Deep Study of the Principles of Go!

This……

Is this the masterpiece written by my father after half a lifetime of studying chess?

Su Ran hurriedly opened the chess score.

Soon, one after another, detailed diagrams appeared before his eyes:

Detailed explanations of the following opening moves: Inverted Lotus Pose, Star Flying Guard Pose, Star Flying Hanging Guard Pose, Low Interval Pose, and Star Position Pressing Long Pose...

Besides these countless fixed formulas and true solutions.

The chess manuals written by my father also record the game analyses of great chess masters from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

A quick glance.

Then you can see many interpretations and explanations such as "Analysis of the Famous Game of Ear Red", "Analysis of the Twenty-Four Plates of Wu Diagram", and "Analysis of the Nine Game Diagrams of Jingu".

Judging from those detailed annotations...

no doubt.

My father must have poured a lot of effort into this chess manual!

"Second Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill these two tasks that Grandpa asked me to do in the near future!"

Su Ran clutched the chess manual tightly to his chest, his gaze unwavering.

Good boy!

Su Yuan patted Su Ran on the shoulder:

“I read your father’s letter and he said that you don’t seem to have any talent for Go… In that case, I’ll give you some pointers before I meet with Touya Kouhiro.”

what?

Second Uncle, are you going to find Touya Kouyo?

Su Ran was shocked and quickly said:

"Second Uncle, I think you've misunderstood! Touya Meijin is definitely not the one who framed Father! I hope... I hope you won't seek revenge against him!"

revenge?

Su Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"When did I ever say that I was looking for Mr. Touya for revenge? Can't I go see an old friend?"

what?

Su Ran scratched her head.

After all that, the clown turned out to be myself...

"Alright, I don't have much time left in Yingzhou."

Su Yuan's smile faded, and he held up three fingers to Su Ran with a serious expression:

"Within three hours, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand about Go."

Su Yuan picked up the book "A Detailed Study of the Principles of Go" and casually flipped through it, saying:

"Let's start by learning the simplest opening patterns."

After speaking, he took out a chess box from his suitcase and pushed the black pieces in front of Su Ran.

……

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Hanging Lotus Pose! This is Su Ran's true talent.

Su Yuan picked up the chess box and pushed the black pieces in front of Su Ran.

"Your dad must have taught you the rules of 'guess first' before, right?"

Su Ran nodded:

"Of course, the 'guessing game' involves one player drawing a handful of pieces and the other player guessing whether the number is odd or even... Ultimately, the winning player takes the black pieces and moves first."

Nodding in satisfaction, Su Yuan reached into Su Ran's chess box, picked up a black piece, and gently placed it down.

Row 15, Column 4.

After placing this black piece in the upper right corner of the board.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuan picked up a white piece from his chess box and placed it in the 17th row, 5th column.

White pieces fly up.

"Think about it, if you were playing black, where would be the best place to move next?"

The second uncle glanced at Su Ran leisurely, wanting to test his chess sense.

A feel for the game is an essential talent for anyone with the potential to become a professional Go player.

Some beginners with a strong sense of chess can sense the general trend of the game even if they have never touched a piece before, just by relying on their sixth sense.

When placing their pieces, they always seem to have more intuition than those players who have a slightly weaker sense of the game.

Just like Hikaru Shindo, before Sai possessed him, he didn't even know the basic rules of Go.

However, in his eyes, the chessboard naturally transformed into a universe.

What he needs to do.

Simply placing a chess piece on the brightest point of starlight in that universe can cause immense trouble for the opponent.

This.

This is what is known as having a strong sense of the game.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, Su Ran hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not choose to start the simulator.

He was also eager to see just how strong he truly was after his talent had been greatly enhanced.

Su Ran gently picked up a chess piece, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

Scenes of playing against those masters flashed through my mind one by one.

Soon, several methods came to mind.

Weed out those mediocre moves that are detrimental to the start.

Finally, he selected a few viable options.

These options all seem pretty much the same.

Which one should I choose?

He closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

He then gently placed the black piece in row sixteen, column four.

Sharp punch.

The term "point" refers to placing a piece diagonally on an existing piece.

"Huh? What's this...?"

The second uncle glanced at Su Ran with suspicion. This child…

Su Ran was a little confused and asked nervously, "What's wrong, Second Uncle? Did I do something wrong?"

Su Yuan looked at the three chess pieces on the chessboard and slowly shook his head.

"No, it's a very inspired move."

Then, out of curiosity, she asked, "Did your father teach you to do it this way before?"

Su Ran shook his head slightly. His father had determined long ago that he was not talented and had never tried to teach him chess since then.

This time.

He simply followed his instincts and placed a piece randomly.

"That move you just made is a very old Chinese opening pattern, and you hardly ever see anyone play it anymore... If no one has ever taught you that, it's enough to prove that your talent in chess sense far surpasses that of ordinary people."

At this point, he couldn't help but have some doubts:

"Strange, since Xiao Ran has such a strong sense of chess, why does Big Brother often worry about not having a successor?"

Shaking his head, Su Yuan temporarily suppressed these questions and focused on explaining to Su Ran:

"In China, your move of placing a small white knight's move followed by a sharp double-kick is called 'inverted lotus.' At the start of the game, both sides will fight each other to the death in one corner until a decisive battle is decided. It is a standard opening that was most favored by the warlike ancients."

"Even today, the 'inverted lotus' opening, which involves close combat and sacrificing position to gain pieces, still has many merits and contains the chess principle that 'a move arises from a break.'"

"I'm truly amazed that you could give such a standard playing method."

Su Ran tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Then why do so few people do this now?"

Su Yuan explained:

"Nowadays, most chess games are about strategizing. The opening move is to secure the position first, and then use the momentum to pressure the opponent and slowly force them to make mistakes. Once the game starts, this kind of intense fighting pattern is difficult to resolve and control, so fewer people play it."

"However, this is still a very good move."

Su Ran's eyes grew brighter as she looked at the inverted lotus pose on the table!

This kind of strategy is difficult for others to control, but for him, it is the best choice to establish a winning advantage in the early stages!

When it comes to solving complex situations and engaging in fierce battles, who can rival oneself with a Go simulator?

"clatter!"

Su Ran was lost in thought, while on the other side, her second uncle placed another piece:

"Today, I'll explain this 'Inverted Lotus' opening move to you properly. If you ever venture into the world of chess in Yingzhou, don't embarrass the ancient people of China..."
