《HIKARU NO GO》E1
Time encounters Chu Ying
In Fangyuan City in 1997, the sun shone slantingly on the old streets, and the air was filled with a touch of nostalgia.Shi Shi, a little boy who is in the third grade of primary school, is very curious and always likes to explore every corner of his home.That day, he accidentally dug up a dusty chessboard in his grandfather's utility room. The lines on the chessboard were somewhat blurred, but it still had an ancient atmosphere.
At this moment, the sky suddenly changed, and a dazzling light flashed across the sky. It was a celestial phenomenon that occurs once in a century - a supernova explosion.This mysterious astronomical wonder seems to have some magical power, bringing Chu Ying, the chess god from the distant Nanliang era, to the modern time through the chessboard.
Chu Ying was dressed in ancient costumes, with an elegant temperament and an extraordinary aura between his brows.However, except for time, his existence is invisible to everyone.Chu Ying's appearance surprised and excited Shi Shi. He seemed to have discovered a huge secret.
Chu Ying told Shi Shi that he had been looking for the legendary “God's Move”, which was a level of chess skills that transcended mortals and could turn things around and determine the outcome.In order to realize this wish, he needs to use the hand of time to play chess.Although Shi Guang knew nothing about Go, he readily agreed to cooperate out of curiosity and admiration for Chu Ying.
As a result, the two began to have exciting games on the chessboard.Chu Ying's chess skills are superb, his thinking is meticulous, and every move he makes is full of profound meaning.Although Shi Shi was in a hurry at first, under Chu Ying's careful guidance, he gradually mastered the essence of Go and his chess skills also made great progress.
One day, the two met a boy of the same age - Yu Liang at the Black and White Chess Hall.Yu Liang is a well-known local Go prodigy with outstanding chess skills and much attention.He confidently challenged the combination of Time and Chu Ying, wanting to show off his skills.
However, in this game, Yu Liang encountered an unprecedented setback.Chu Ying easily won this game with his profound chess skills and unique tactics.Although Yu Liang was unwilling, he was impressed by time and Chu Ying's strength.He was so moved that he never expected that he would lose to an opponent who was playing chess for the first time.
This game of chess made Shi Shi more determined to learn Go.He felt the charm of Go and understood that his lifelong bond with Go had begun.From then on, he worked harder to learn chess, explored the mysteries of Go with Chu Ying, and pursued the legendary "God's Move".
