Go: is the Portable Grandpa the Nine-time Champion?

[75 points·Go system reborn] Go-themed novels belong to the hybrid genre of "traditional chess + golden finger". This type of work usually combines Go competition with fantasy settings. For example, the protagonist travels through time with an AI system, or awakens special abilities to counterattack. The book reads with both professional Go knowledge and a refreshing rhythm. Yi Zheng, a young chess player who was once hailed as a genius, fell into a bottleneck period that lasted eight years after he determined his dan at the age of eight, and was even dropped out of the dojo. Just when he was at the bottom of his life, a "Nine-Crown Grandpa" who claimed to be from another world suddenly appeared, revealing the truth about his stagnation in chess for many years - it turned out that his talent had been absorbed by this mysterious existence. What's even more interesting is that this old man's identity seems to have a hidden secret, and there is a suspense hook at the beginning. The current plot revolves around how Yi Zheng gets rid of his grandfather's control and proves himself again. The author's description of Go terminology and game details is quite good, such as the rules of fixed-stage competition, life in the dojo, etc. It can be seen that he has done his homework. The protagonist's counterattack route is also relatively solid. He does not directly cheat and crush him, but gradually breaks through the bottleneck through games with the old man. However, the rhythm in the early stage is a bit dull, and the supporting characters are also more stereotyped. For example, the creation of the villain is somewhat templated. The system setting is not particularly novel, but combined with suspense elements, it has a certain sense of freshness. If the character depth and plot tension can be enhanced in the follow-up, it is expected to become a masterpiece of this genre.

Rating: 4.5 Introduction: Jaguar travels through time and becomes a chess soul, tutoring the genius protagonist to use the moves of the AI era to fight all over the world (I am a native dog and I just like to watch the plot of the chess theory of the AI era crushing the past and beating the past🇯🇵🇰🇷) The world view is that Go is the top sport in the world, and there are endless Go geniuses around the world (also known as the fantasy of Go players before they die in the end of the law) The protagonist at the beginning of the 20th century was originally an eight-year-old child prodigy with both good character and academic skills. However, before he could win the match, he was sucked away by the old man (Jaguar) who was playing chess. His brain was long-term insufficient in computing power, and he was ignored by everyone. His engagement was terminated... He was not forced to quit, but such a protagonist was still a ruthless person. He persisted until the age of fifteen and was still a teenager. He almost gave up Go and went back to Tsinghua University. Finally, the old man absorbed enough chess power and was resurrected! What follows is the regular plot of Chess Soul (there is no I have read a lot of novels of this type, and they basically go back to the past. It is relatively rare to see this kind of fictional global Go craze setting. Occasionally I see the plot of "I Want Foreigners to Die" and find it quite interesting. Using a Jaguar as a ring and the old man to act as a complainer adds a lot of jokes. The collection of life scenes and competitions is also good. The author knows a lot about Go, and the reading experience is very relaxing and enjoyable. (Not knowing Go will not affect reading)

Rating: 4/5 (grain and grass) Summary in one sentence: A story in which the Nine-Crown King transforms into a grandfather and teaches the protagonist how to play abstraction and Go and realize his dream of defeating AI. Reasons for recommendation: The Nine-Crown King transforms into an old man and teaches the protagonist how to play abstraction and Go. This sentence is enough to describe it. The author has good writing skills and has a deep understanding of Nine Crowns, various Internet memes and even Go, and presents an interesting and understandable story about Go. Not recommended: Go writing is still too niche, especially since the protagonist needs to learn Go by himself, rather than the system directly adding points to the game. The author is a eunuch.
