Core innovation points Most of the Go-themed novels on the market take "win or lose, win the championship, and crush the opponent" as the ultimate pleasure. This game breaks away from the traditional formula of "just to win the first place in the world". The protagonist Jiang Xu is not a pure genius boy. He possesses a set of ancient Chinese chess principles. This set of chess moves emphasizes charm, choices, and major game changes, and does not pursue the life and death of each piece of the chess piece. The conflict in the story is not just about winning or losing on the chessboard, but also a centuries-old game between two Go ideological systems: Modern competitive Go in Japan and South Korea pursues precise calculations, local optimality, and the primacy of victory or defeat; The ancient Chinese art of chess and Tao emphasizes the unity of nature and man. Chess is a tool for carrying the Tao, and victory or defeat is only a subsidiary product of practice. The main plot is not only to play the game, but to rediscover the Chinese Go context that has been separated for thousands of years and reshape the world's understanding of Go. The writing style is unified: restrained and realistic, delicate and focused on psychological portrayal, description of the artistic conception of the chessboard, and the inner struggle and perseverance of the characters. The description of competitive games takes into account both professionalism and literary atmosphere, and refuses to be slapped in the face by brainless wit. The game includes multiple competitions among people, capital, circles, and culture.
