"Tenshiban" is a hard-core growth epic about a young Go boy in the AI ​​era who uses "human chess sense" to challenge cold algorithms. The core of the story revolves around the "ghost chess player" Chen Jingxing. This grassroots genius who hangs out in Internet cafes shocked the chess world by defeating South Korea's top chess player Kim Jae-won, who is revered as the "son of AI" in an anonymous online battle with a Go game that ignores AI's winning rate and is full of wild intuition. His chess style is considered to have inherited the chess master Nie Weiping's "not believing in evil" will and the overall view of the times that transcended the times in the Sino-Japanese arena competition in the 1980s. The novel constructs three core conflicts: the peak showdown between Chen Jingxing's instinctive chess sense and Kim Jae-won's absolute rationality; the collision between the inheritance of Chinese Go philosophy and the Korean competitive system; and the difficult verification of their own value and dignity by all human chess players under the shadow of the absolute authority of AI. The clues of the story are intertwined by the genius chess player Chen Jingxing and the smart reporter Su Yan. Chen Jingxing started from the market, experienced the domestication of the professional world, the tempering of international competitions, and the loss of fame and fortune, and finally found the origin of chess among ancient records and mountains and rivers. Su Yan, on the other hand, used his pen as a blade. In the process of recording and interpreting him, he completed a profound transformation from a bystander to an understander and then to a fellow traveler. Their relationship is another chapter about "understanding". The whole book pays tribute to Nie Weiping's spirit of the times and reinterprets it in the new context of the AI ​​era.
