After enjoying two drawn games with Li Zhiyi, Jiang Shilai went all out in the third round. Drawing upon his seasoned experience and profound chess skills, he barely managed to secure a win.
In terms of his personal feelings, if it were a best-of-three series, he wasn't confident he'd win for sure.
This young lady had an aggressive chess style, amazing calculation abilities, and a momentum that seemed unstoppable.
What puzzled him the most was her variety of unconventional skills for drawing games.
Who had she learned them from?
Truth be told, if she had aimed for a draw, he might not have been able to beat her.
In the competitive arena, one's weaknesses would often become visible only when one tried to win.
Carrying these questions with them, the two chess masters continued their "campus tour" until they reached Seacoast Normal University, where the mystery was finally solved.
They met Qian Quan, the person Li Zhiyi had mentioned.
