Chapter 749 - 750
Alma stood amidst the crowd, her mind a whirl of confusion.
The chess game had reached a point where it seemed to be at a dead end.
Regardless of which side made the next move, it appeared there was no correct play to be made.
At the previous university tournament, Alma had boldly challenged Rosemary to a game of chess, only to be utterly defeated within moments.
It was then that Mr. Albright graced the backstage, engaging Rosemary in a game that left the onlookers in utter disbelief. To everyone’s astonishment, Rosemary bested Mr. Albright, the undisputed chess
maestro. Even more astonishing was when Mr. Albright openly praised Rosemary’s exceptional talent, admitting that she had surpassed her mentor and even considering her as his potential successor.
The level of Rosemary’s chess play had shocked Alma then, but now, as she gazed upon the complex board Rosemary had devised, the sense of awe washed over her with even greater intensity.
If Rosemary had indeed concocted this intricate game on her own, her unfathomable skill far surpassed that of all the chess masters present, combined.
The thought of her previous victory over Mr. Albright didn’t seem so surprising anymore.
With only two minutes left, Mr. Albright, wearing a contented smile, signaled his servant to bring forth his favorite chess set. Carefully placing the pieces according to Rosemary’s design, he crafted the
enigmatic scenario on the board.
