About This Novel

Reporter: "Teacher Qianyuan, everyone says you are a living legend, the pinnacle of the human mind, and the contemporary god of Go. How did you achieve such an achievement? What experience can ordinary people gain from you?" Chihara Hiroshi: "Edison once said that genius--" Reporter: "I know that one percent is inspiration and ninety-nine percent is perspiration. Teacher Qianhara, you want to say that as long as you put in diligence and hard work, you can succeed, right?" Chihara Hiroshi's eyes seemed to care for a mentally retarded baby, and the reporter couldn't help but lower his head in shame. "There is another sentence at the end: 'But the one percent of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent of sweat.' What I really want to say is that my experience is of no use to ordinary people because - Ordinary people don't have a brain like mine! " ... Traveling back to Japan's bubble era and the Great Depression, Hiroshi Chihara set out from Osaka and overcame obstacles all the way, including amateur matches, professional matches, title matches, and world professional matches. Until there are no more honors to measure his achievements, looking back, he is already at the top of Go! (Disclaimer: This article takes place in a parallel time and space.

Two or three things about this book (answered together)

First, about the quality of Japanese people Nowadays, the overall quality of Japanese people is indeed good, because it is a developed country and the penetration rate of higher education has increased. There is no need to praise the quality of the Japanese people too much. Even now, in small cities or rural areas of Japan, there are not many behaviors of low quality in our eyes, but they will not be photographed and publicized (less public knowledge). Just like the Chinese tourists in the eyes of foreign media a few years ago, in the 1980s and 1990s, 'China' here could be replaced by Japan and South Korea. Countries are just at different stages of development. Second, about Osaka Nishinari Ward Did you know that the Japanese government never puts Nishinari on the map? I can't even find this place on Google Maps. Most of the residents of Nishinari were the settlements of migrant workers during the period of rapid economic development after the war in the last century. However, as they grew older, their value decreased and they were abandoned by Japanese society. Xicheng is the area where the three major cancers of HDD converge. The police stations here are all bunkers. There have been 24 riots in history, the most recent one in 2008. If you are interested, you can check it out online. The scene does not meet some people's definition of Japan. Third, regarding discrimination against Xicheng This has nothing to do with quality. This kind of discrimination exists no matter which country, developed countries discriminate against developing countries, and developed regions discriminate against underdeveloped regions. This phenomenon will occur in our country, Japan, and even in any country on the planet. This is a kind of psychological superiority, but not everyone will show it. Just like Katsuhiko Shirakawa and the Watanabe couple in this book, they know that the protagonist lives in Nishinari, but their attitude remains unchanged. So don't ask again, 'Are the Japanese really so incompetent?' This is not only necessary for the plot of this article, but it has nothing to do with quality (excluding those who show severe discrimination) Fourth, the problem of bullying in Japanese schools I don't know if the behavior in the book is a bit excessive. After all, I didn't go to school in Japan, but the plot requires it, and it can be seen from some Japanese film and television works and news that bullying is not uncommon in Japanese schools. People who often watch Japanese movies and TV dramas should know the word "atmosphere". There are very few maverick people in Japanese society. Most of these people, such as the protagonist, will be looked at in a strange light. Finally, as a newbie, thank you all for your support. You are welcome to collect, recommend, and reward! Bow~~

Statement before reading (can be skipped)

First, although this book takes Go as the main line, it will be interspersed with a lot of daily life related or unrelated to Go. It is essentially a story. Second, I only paid attention to Go when AlphaGo played against Lee Sedol, and I know a little about the rules, but I have not learned them systematically. So when it comes to the content of chess games, I mostly mix in some terminology that I know or don't understand, Chunqiu Brushwork. Go masters are welcome to correct themselves and popularize science in the comment area, but as for novels, they should just be treated as entertainment┐(─__─)┌ Third, please have a friendly discussion in the comment area. You can argue, but please do not personally attack or insult others. Thank you for your support (*°∀°)=3

I have read Chapter 68. The author seems to have said that he should focus on Go when writing? Except for the first 20 chapters which have a bit of a chess-playing feel, the rest of the chapter is filled with various aspects of life, and even the game is just brushed off! The game – a few words of dialogue – ends the game! What a master! Just a few bad words about a pig's trotter can lead to more than ten chapters! Is that all about Go? That's it! Or just this! ! ! Let's take a look! Fortunately, membership is free and gives you a chance to regret it!

Speechless, a chess novel, even though there are so many things in daily life, it is still a classic female video novel

I am a chess player and I have no problem picking out dozens of chapters. They are all disgusting routines. I am reading a light novel and it uses so many FW talking points to foreshadow the article? Is it okay to chase and feed Xiang?

I read more than 40 chapters and it made me feel sick. There are so many politics, discrimination, you don't know what you are going to do, abuse of the boss, and revenge methods in a Go book. It seems quite exaggerated. I can't stand it at all. 👦👦👦👦

Why is this very good book rated so low?

There is a small bug. It is said that the protagonist cannot even capture the number of pieces in the beginning, which means that he has never been exposed to Go in his previous life. How does he know the bad moves later?

Not recommended

I don't recommend it very much. It obviously says that Go is the main plot, but daily life accounts for more than 70%, and the plot is bloody. It reminds me of the routines from more than ten years ago.

Do you know why you can become a chess master in Japan?

Because that place is so big

Too off topic

The author's writing is smooth and skillful, but it's too biased. The proportion of Go is too small, and I don't know why I keep writing about dark society. Yes, Japan has these problems, but one protagonist takes up all of them, and there are still people who are always looking for trouble. Isn't this just disgusting? You want to write that he became a chess master in such a harsh environment, so writing this will make us think that he is very powerful? But I don't feel it, just bloody and disgusting

Why not recommended? Because the author doesn't understand Go at all.

So this is daily life under the guise of Go.
