Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Although they knew the etiquette of not speaking while watching a game of chess, Chen Anxia's moves were so unreasonable that they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

What exactly is Chen Anxia thinking?

"Is he really Chen Anxia? How could he make so many unreasonable moves?"

"With a game like this, you think you can compete with Akira Touya for the title of number one?"

"Could this Chen Anxia be just a name without substance?"

"I don't think so. If it were, why would Touya Meijin say something like that?"

"You don't know, but many media outlets like to exaggerate the facts. Maybe Touya Meijin just gave Chen Anxia a little encouragement back then."

Does anyone know which school of chess Chen Anxia's moves belong to? I just can't understand them.

......

Amidst the whispers of the club members, Teacher Yin and Uemura Tairyu arrived in a hurry.

Upon arriving at the Go club, Uemura Tairyu saw Chen Anxia playing a game and couldn't help but murmur, "It really is him."

As he spoke, Uemura Tairyu couldn't help but look at Touya Akira.

It is worth noting that the "truthful game" widely circulated in the Go world today was spread by Yasutaka Uemura.

Naturally, Uemura Tairyu recognized Toya Akira.

Moreover, after becoming a disciple of Wu Qingyuan, Uemura Tairyu gained a deeper understanding of Toya Akira's skill in playing games that revealed the truth.

Therefore, when he saw Chen Anxia actually playing chess with Touya Akira, Uemura Tairyu couldn't help but feel a chill.

Afterwards, Uemura Tairyu scanned the Go club room, confirming that there were no other players besides himself.

This fact also confirmed to Uemura Tairyu that the person playing against Touya Akira at this moment was Chen Anxia himself, and not someone else.

Then, Uemura Tairyu and Teacher Yin walked together toward the side of the chessboard where the principal was.

Because of Teacher Yin's status, the club members all voluntarily gave up their seats.

Without any problems, Uemura Tairyu and Teacher Yoon arrived at the principal's side.

After that, Teacher Yin greeted the principal and introduced Uemura Tairyu.

Although the principal didn't have much contact with Go, he had heard of its great reputation.

Therefore, the principal couldn't help but show a surprised expression after learning about Uemura Tairyu's identity.

Upon seeing this, Uemura Tairyu also greeted the principal and then turned his gaze to the chessboard in front of him.

Teacher Yin did the same, turning her attention to the chessboard.

Upon seeing this, both Teacher Yin and Uemura Tairyu frowned slightly.

At this point, the game is still in the opening stage. Although the overall situation is not yet clear, White's unique layout is clearly visible.

Among them, Teacher Yin, whose chess skills have reached the professional first dan level, is very clear that White's opening is not a mainstream opening at present, and it is not even a niche opening.

However, for some reason, when Teacher Yin looked at White's peculiar opening, he felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on where.

While pondering, Teacher Yin asked the club member next to her about the game records from the beginning to the present.

The club member who was asked did not hesitate and directly told Teacher Yin the chess score.

Naturally, this chess score was also heard by Yasutaka Uemura.

At the same time, Yasutaka Uemura also used the system to help him start recording game records.

At this moment, Uemura Tairyu was unaware of the implications of this game; he was simply taking notes subconsciously.

After learning the game score, Teacher Yin frowned even more deeply.

If it weren't for knowing that Chen Anxia was playing white, Teacher Yin would probably have thought that white's illogical moves were just random blunders by a novice.

However, even knowing that Chen Anxia was playing white, Teacher Yin still couldn't understand or see through Chen Anxia's moves.

However, Teacher Yin always had a strange sense of familiarity in her heart. She felt that Chen Anxia's chess moves were somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

While Teacher Yin was pondering, the principal couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Teacher Yin, have you figured out White's strategy?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Yin snapped out of her reverie, tried to suppress the distracting thoughts in her mind, and replied, "I can't tell yet. We'll need to keep observing before we can find out."

Upon seeing this, the principal couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

It's important to know that Teacher Yin possesses professional-level chess skills, and his vision and experience go without saying.

However, given Mr. Yin's professional background, the fact that he couldn't see through Chen Anxia's strategy with white pieces speaks volumes.

On the side, Uemura Tairyu also couldn't figure out Chen Anxia's approach.

Unlike Teacher Yin, Uemura Tairyu has a mountain standing behind him.

Therefore, after recording the game score, Uemura Tairyu sent a message to Wu Qingyuan for advice through the Truth Super Brain.

Uemura Tairyu wanted to use Wu Qingyuan, a top player who stood at the pinnacle of Go, to see the strategy of Chen Anxia's white stones.

It's just unclear whether Wu Qingyuan was busy or not, as he didn't reply to Uemura Tairyu immediately.

Of course, Chen Anxia and Touya Akira, who were already engrossed in the game, were unaware of what was happening outside.

In their eyes, nothing else matters except the chess game in front of them.

The game of chess continues.

As the game progressed, the spectators around the game gradually came to appreciate Akira Touya's playing style.

In their view, Akira Touya's playing style is steady, even sophisticated.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would probably have thought that this style of play belonged to a professional player, not an 11-year-old child.

At the same time, they also felt Chen Anxia's playing style.

Indeed, although Chen Anxia occasionally made unreasonable moves, it was precisely these unreasonable moves that allowed them to experience Chen Anxia's playing style.

If I had to summarize it in eight words, it would be: free and unrestrained, ever-changing.

They could hardly imagine how such a game of Go could exist in the world, as if they were ignoring the established patterns and routines of Go.

For Akira Touya, who was facing Chen Anxia directly, this feeling was even more direct.

In Akira Touya's eyes, the white pieces played by Chen Anxia seemed to have transformed into white carp, swimming freely and unrestrainedly in the lakes and rivers that the chessboard had become, making it impossible to predict their movements.

Akira Toya knew that this was the Dosaku school, and the real Dosaku school.

Because Akira Toya and Juro Yamazaki had the same feeling in their games.

Therefore, what Akira Touya needs to do is to let this free and unrestrained white carp walk into the net.

At this moment, in Akira Touya's eyes, the black stones on the chessboard, arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, seemed to transform into crisscrossing black threads, weaving a fishing net that left the white carp with nowhere to escape.

Even in Akira Toya's mind, he had already calculated the approximate progress of the fishing net weaving.

This value is...25%!

Chapter 158 The Tower Arrow Flow Strategy: The Key to the Reversal! (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Meijin Toya himself admired Honinbo Dosaku's games, and therefore often studied the game records left by Honinbo Dosaku.

During this process, Touya Meijin fantasized more than once about how he would counter Honinbo Dosaku's divine calculations if he were to play against him.

According to Touya Meijin, Honinbo Dosaku's divine calculations were too unpredictable and elusive to be grasped or calculated.

Therefore, if one actively tries to calculate and capture Honinbo Dosaku's moves, it is easy to fall into Honinbo Dosaku's divine calculations.

Therefore, taking the initiative is not a viable way to break Honinbo Dosaku's divine calculations.

However, under the current rules, if you are playing white, it's fine, but if you are playing black, under the pressure of five and a half points in the opening, if you don't take the initiative to attack, then you are basically doomed to defeat.

Taking all these factors into account, Meijin Touya devised two solutions for playing black and white, respectively, based on his own principles of Go.

Among them, the solution for playing black first is the fishing net that Akira Touya is currently weaving.

Although Touya Meijin devised two methods to counter Honinbo Dosaku's divine calculations, he did not know whether these methods could truly break Honinbo Dosaku's divine calculations.

After all, Honinbo Dosaku had already passed away, and Touya Meijin had no way of verifying it.

However, although Meijin Touya could not verify his own method of breaking the game, he dissected the method and incorporated it into his own principles of Go.

Furthermore, Touya Meijin even created his own Touya-style opening based on this, and thus entered the level of top players.

Of course, Akira Touya was unaware of all this.

Akira Toya never imagined that the principles of Go he inherited from Meijin Toya already contained a method to break the Dosaku style.

Meijin Touya never told Akira Touya.

In Touya Meijin's mind, Touya Akira probably wouldn't need this method of breaking the spell, since the Dosaku style had long been lost.

Who would have thought that Yamazaki Sanjiro, the successor of the Dosaku style, would appear and defeat Toya Akira with the Dosaku style.

Afterwards, Meijin Touya naturally revealed to Akira Touya the method for breaking the Dosaku style, which was hidden in his own Go theory.

For about a week afterward, Akira Toya studied how to break the Dosaku style and in order to understand it.

Because Akira Toya inherited the Go philosophy of Meijin Toya from a young age, he progressed very quickly in learning how to break the Dosaku style.

Akira Toya never expected that the method he had learned to break the Dosaku style would be used on Chen Anxia first.

The game had unknowingly entered the middle stage.

The situation of the game was beginning to emerge before everyone.

However, not everyone can understand the current situation.

Some people present were limited by their own understanding of chess, resulting in a lack of perspective and an inability to see the situation clearly.

This includes the principal.

As for the others who could observe the situation on the chessboard, the current state of the game was exactly as expected.

Some people, observing the current situation, even muttered to themselves, "Just as I expected..."

Some members nearby, unable to understand the situation, couldn't help but ask in hushed tones.

The principal, also curious, couldn't help but ask softly, "Teacher Yin, what's the current situation of the chess game?"
