Shen Qiushan never even thought about "establishing his own school" or anything like that.
He just simply wanted to rack up some Scholar Index points!
Back when he played Go against the exchange students from Seoul University, Shen Qiushan figured out a rule: every win earned him 10,000 Scholar Index points.
With today's two preliminary rounds, Shen Qiushan won four games in total, bagging 40,000 Scholar Index points.
Based on his prior experience that high exam rankings also rake in Scholar Index points, Shen Qiushan guessed that if he could win a national-level Chinese Chess championship like this, he'd probably score another wave of Scholar Index points.
Of course, that was just his speculation, since Shen Qiushan had never taken part in anything like this before.
"Uncle Luo, I just enjoy playing chess—honestly, I never thought about starting my own school of thought or anything."
Shen Qiushan replied with a cheerful laugh.
"Stop calling me Uncle Luo—just call me Old Luo!"
