"Oh, I see. Go is quite simple!”
Under the long tube fluorescent lamp, Jiang Xueming was suddenly enlightened after listening to Zhou Yifei's explanation of the rules.
"In short, it's a game of alternating black and white chess pieces to see who has more pieces on the chessboard, right?”
No, it's a competition of who has more land. Do you really understand? What did you hear?
Zhou Yifei opened his mouth." Jiang Xueming, you're really a clever little girl."”
Jiang Xueming giggled, feeling happy after being praised.
"I've learned it now! Zhou Yifei, let's play the next round!”She was full of interest and issued a challenge.
You're so cute.
Zhou Yifei felt tired and casually grabbed a handful of black stones.
"Count."
The silly Jiang Xueming counted seriously.
"27? Why?" She widened her eyes and asked curiously.
Zhou Yifei took three more black pieces and placed them in the pile of chess pieces." I'll give you a round number. I'll give you 30 pieces.”
"Zhou Yifei!" She looked even cuter when she was angry.
"Young master, why don't I give you 10 more?”
Zhou Yifei smiled and said," Ignorant girl, you have no idea about the difference in Go skills. If I wasn't afraid of hurting you, I would have given you 100 stones."
No, I can give up 360 crystals at most!
"30 then, hmph, let's see how I beat you later.”
Jiang Xueming exerted all her strength and even took off her school uniform jacket. She seriously placed the 30 chess pieces in the most suitable place.
After she was done, she crossed her arms and looked at Zhou Yifei with an imposing manner.""Come on, let's have a showdown tonight!”
This…there's no need to decide. You're the female and I'm the male.
Zhou Yifei cursed in his heart, then he became more alert and started playing chess.
Twenty minutes later.
"Oh…"
Jiang Xueming's eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Her black-armored soldiers were all dead, leaving only white on the chessboard.
"Grandpa Zhou, he's bullying me again!"
As she shouted, Jiang Xueming got up and ran away.
Zhou Yifei was speechless.
His grandfather Zhou Zhiheng's dissatisfied voice came from downstairs."
"Yifei, why are you bullying Xiaoxue again? Snowy, don't cry. I'll help you beat this kid up later!”
"Grandpa is the best."
Zhou Yifei could not help but chuckle when he heard the conversation coming from downstairs. It was quite interesting to have a fun childhood friend.
He didn't take it seriously and just tidied up the chess pieces on the chessboard.
"Jue Yi, how many points do I have now?”
There was no sound, but a number appeared in his mind.
1100。
He won against Chu Ying and obtained 1,000 points.
"Consumed 100 points, starting the review!”
"Turn on the real-time win rate display!"
" Open the recommendation notification!"
After activating the two basic functions, Zhou Yifei began to review the game by himself.
This was the path that every Go player had to go through. If one wanted to improve, this kind of boring training was essential.
Time passed slowly.
With the help of Jue Yi, Zhou Yifei looked down at the contents of this game from a higher dimension.
That was a skill that had long since entered the god-level realm. The answer it gave was at least closer to the truth of Go than humans.
Take Chu Ying for example. As a thousand-year-old chess soul, his chess skills were on par with the world champion, Yu Xiaoyang, or even slightly better.
Even so, Chu Ying's Go skills were only at the level of 3500 to 3600.
Compared to the first generation of Go AI, Alpha Go, this level of Go skill was slightly inferior by two to three hundred points.
However, compared to the god-tier AI's 5000 points, the gap was very far. It was not something that humans could compete with.
In short, if Chu Ying played against Jue Yi, there was a very small chance of winning one game out of a thousand.
This also included the possibility that Chu Ying's chess skills would increase as the number of games he played increased.
This was the god-level domain of Go!
Above the Hand of God, only AI could reach the god-level domain!
In this field, Chu Ying…or rather, the Hand of God that many top Go players pursued could be seen everywhere. The civil war between top AIs could often determine the life and death of a few dragons in a few moves. (Note 1)
The ferocity of the battle, the complexity of the battle, and the speed of the changes on the surface of the board had exceeded human understanding.
Zhou Yifei's current goal was to step into the Divine Realm as a human!
Although the possibility was very small and almost impossible, even something like transmigration had happened. What was impossible?
……
The next day.
It was past six in the morning.
Zhou Yifei yawned and slowly got up to wash up.
When she went downstairs, she saw her grandfather, Zhou Zhiheng, playing music in the living room with a sad face.
He walked over curiously.
"Shi Shan, that old fellow, how did he suddenly become so powerful recently? His chess moves are seamless.”Zhou Zhiheng wore his presbyopic glasses and muttered to himself.
Tianyi Seamless?
Zhou Yifei looked at the chess game carefully.
On the board, Black won by about two or three points.
"Grandpa, who is Shi Shan? It looks quite powerful."
Zhou Yifei greeted him with a smile.
This one was considered as an amateur and was probably at the level of an amateur 5-dan.
"Yifei, you woke up so early today.”
Zhou Zhiheng smiled when he saw Zhou Yifei. He had no children. He only had Zhou Yifei as his adopted grandson, so he had always doted on him.
Last night, she said that she wanted to beat him up on behalf of Jiang Xueming, but in fact, she was just saying it. How could her precious grandson beat him up? Even if it was for the sake of her future granddaughter-in-law, it was impossible.
"This is the chess game I played with an old guy yesterday. Speaking of which, he also has a grandson called Shi Guang. He should be in the same year as you.”(Note 2)
"Shiguang's grandfather." Zhou Yifei suddenly realized how small Fang Yuan City was.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The Go circle was not big to begin with, and it was also a city. It was too normal for them to know each other.
"Yifei, since when did you understand Go?”"You didn't want to learn when grandpa wanted to teach you before," Zhou Zhiheng said in surprise. Are you interested now? Come, come, come. Since there's still some time in the morning, I'll teach you a few moves!”
Grandpa was very enthusiastic.
Zhou Yifei smiled and took out a white piece. He tapped it on the chessboard.
"Grandpa, you admitted defeat too early. Actually, you can win.”
After giving him a hint, Zhou Yifei turned around and went to the bathroom. He still had to go to school.
Zhou Zhiheng looked at the chess piece on the chessboard. He frowned slightly at first, then he was stunned.
"This 'Break' move is wonderful!" The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became." As the old saying goes, chess moves from the broken point. Why didn't I think of that?”
He was immersed in his wonderful hands. After some calculations, he suddenly realized that not only would he not lose, but he would even win by half an eye!
"Yifei! You brat…"
Zhou Zhiheng raised his head and was so excited that he wanted to ask, but when he looked into the living room, he realized that his grandson had already left.
"Gone? I have to ask when I get back! To be able to see through such a skillful move at a glance, he had to be at least at the level of a Professional 5, right? Impossible, when did this kid learn Go behind my back?”He muttered in disbelief.
Karma 5?
Zhou Yifei, who had just walked out of the house, shook his head and laughed.
After yesterday's match with Shen Yilang and Chu Ying, he had a rough understanding of the level of Go players in this era.
According to the skill level, Go was divided into amateur and professional players.
From low to high: Amateur 1-dan, Amateur 2-dan, Amateur 3-dan, Amateur 4-dan, Amateur 5-dan.
As for the amateur 6-dan above that, it was usually for retired professional Go players who were awarded a certificate by Celestial Qiyuan. For ordinary people to reach amateur 6-dan, the difficulty was similar to taking the professional exam.
There was no need to mention the Amateur 7-dan and Amateur 8-dan.
There were no 9-dan amateurs.
Then there was the pro-level, beginning stage, second stage…all the way to ninth stage.
Amongst them, the difference between early stage professional Go players and 9-dan professional Go players wasn't that big in his era due to the emergence of AI. The main difference was in mentality, experience, and so on.
It wouldn't be like the current era, where a professional 9-dan player could make 2 early stage players.
"Considering everything, my current strength in this era is not inferior to a professional! At the very least, he shouldn't be able to defeat an ordinary beginner or second-dan professional!”

[Note 1: This means that many Hand of God moves that humans see are very ordinary in AI's eyes. For example, in episode 30, the move between Yu Xiaoyang and Chu Ying was the same.] There was no absolute Hand of God.
[Note 2: I couldn't find Grandpa Shi Guang's name, so I gave it to him. Please forgive me.]
