Initially, each player had sixty minutes, and each move added an extra thirty seconds until the matchâs end.
When she faced Zelena, Violeta recognised some chess capability in her opponent, given her presence in
the finals.
However, Zelenaâs experience was primarily theoretical. She had learned chess through online tutorials and matches against computer simulations.
The competitors at the chess hall varied in skill, some not even matching a basic computer opponentâs .
Zelena had reached the finals partly due to her skills but also due to a good dose of luck.
However, her luck dwindled when she came up against Violeta.
Violetaâs chess expertise was built on more just tutorials; she had faced numerous âlife opponents since her first game!
The small chess booth near Hori Studio was a hidden gem, filled with skilled players.
Over time, Violeta honed her skills through challenging matches.
She played with assurance, never wavering in her moves
She meticulously planned each move, anticipating Zelenaâs responses based on her own strategic insights.
Initially, Zelena managed to match Violetaâs pace, as the speed was similar to the computer opponents s practiced with, requiring minimal thought.

However, as the game progressed, especially after Violeta made a critical move across the board, Zelena started to falter.
She found herself increasingly lost in thought, spending more time contemplating her moves.
So much so Violeta, noticing the delay, yawned.
Leisurely sipping her tea, Violeta watched Zelenaâs indecision, secure in her advantageous position.
Tapping her fingertip gently on the tabletop and resting her chin on one hand, she asked, âHow much longer do you need to deliberate â
Zelena gazed intently at the chessboard before her, her anxiety already palpable. Violetaâs remark felt like fuel added to the fire of her frustration, intensifying her irritability.
âWhy are you me? I havenât run out of time yet.â

With a light chuckle, Violeta replied, âOverthinking wonât change the inevitable. You might as well give up and save us both some time.â
Zelenaâs frustration was palpable, and the tension between the two players could be felt throughout the chess hall.
Spectators inside and even those outside who were replicating the game discussed the match eagerly. reflecting the high stakes and the excitement surrounding this final showdown.
On the stage, Wade observed closely and commented to Nolan, âThe white pieces are dominating; the black is clearly on the defensive.â
Nolan nodded in agreement. âItâs true. At this point, any struggle from the black pieces will merely postpone the outcome. The whiteâs strategy is overpowering.â
Violeta played the white pieces, and Zelena handled the black pieces.
It seemed the outcome was already determined; Violeta was the ultimate winner.
Wadeâs gaze turned towards the people on either side of the chess table in the hall not far ahead, eventually resting on Violeta.
âHer ability to anticipate moves and her unwavering confidence are what make her a formidable player,â he observed, his respect for her skills deepening.
Wade commented, âShe plans three steps ahead and avoids useless moves.â
His admiration for Violeta deepened, viewing her as a uniquely valuable individual whose maturity and sharp thinking distinguished her from her peers.
Despite her best efforts, Zelena could not avoid defeat.
The referee declared the game over.
Meanwhile, Zelena sat with head bowed, her face hidden by her hair. Her frustration and anger were .
She was unable to accept losing to Violeta and struggled to come to terms with the result.
It was now Violetaâs time to shine.
The Chess Association publicly invited her to join them, and the director of the chess hall brought documents for her to sign, followed by a group photo.
Wade even invited Violeta to stand next to him for the photograph.
Watching from the side, Zelena clenched her fists tightly behind her back, barely managing to restrain her intense frustration.
Zelena had spent a long time honing her chess skills for this particular moment.
Yet, it was Violeta who ended up winning, leaving Zelena visibly frustrated.
After they took photos, Violeta noticed Zelena trying to smile through her anger. The strain and concealed fury in Zelenaâs expression were evident.

It must be difficult, Zelena, to invest so much only to see your efforts come to nothing.
You should really get a taste of this feeling,
Interestingly. Violeta, as the chess tournament champion, could relate to Zelenaâs situation as she had experienced such disappointments many times before, thanks to Zelena,
After the crowd thinned out, Violeta headed upstairs to fetch Tuna.
On the way, Nolan remarked, âYou donât seem very happy.â
âReally? I feel quite happy.â Violeta responded.
Leaning casually the wall, Nolan observed, âItâs not the kind of happiness I expected from you.â
Violeta gently tugged on Tunaâs ear, âIf happiness were out of five, Iâd give mine a three right now.â
âWhyâs that?â
Looking up at him, Violeta offered a wry
