Chapter 1294: A fight of goodwill (6)
The chess game ended quickly.
In a team chess match, three chess boards are set up, each hosting a 1v1 match, and the results from these three boards are combined to decide the overall outcome.
Although the white tiger, a contender, was absent, the players from Eungwang High's chess team secured a flawless victory, earning 1 point.
‘It seems like my opponent studied my chess, but still, they are lacking compared to Eunho.’
The games I played at Eungwang High are all publicly available, making them easy to study. However, compared to Eunho, who has been researching the Steilmate strategy for a long time, the opponent's research was still lacking.
If their research had been deeper, they would have had to outplay me through sheer skill or delay the game until I lost focus, but unfortunately, they lacked the ability to do so.
‘And maybe because it’s a team event, the next move came to me more easily.’
It had been a while since I played chess outside of Eungwang High, and I was worried, but since I wasn’t alone and had Cheon Dong-ha and Eunho by my side, plus many cheering me on, I was able to finish the game before I lost focus.
It wasn’t just me who was motivated—Cheon Dong-ha and Eunho also wrapped up their games quickly.
‘Looks like the time greeting the audience is going to be longer than the game itself.’
After the game, we decided to greet the guests we invited before discussing the moves. Because I had extra invitations—courtesy of Hwang Ji-ho and the white tiger—there were a lot of people to greet.
Hwang Ji-ho, as the head of a noble family, and the white tiger, with a wide network, had many people they could invite, but they were pretending to be students and inviting people, which felt a bit awkward.
