From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 150

Rebecca thought this rookie was going to be some kind of prodigy!

Turns out, she's nothing but a low-level loser. Her chess game is laughably weak.

She hadn't even shown her true skills, and the opponent was already falling apart.

And to think Jack was so wary of her.

Anthea spoke with a nonchalant tone, "Don't get cocky so soon. Hate for you to be a sore loser later, coming up with some lame excuse like feeling under the weather or pretending to go easy on the newbie!"

Rebecca offered a slight smile, her fingers dancing across the keyboard to move a piece, "Checkmate! Better luck next time, hon, you've lost."

[Rebecca is so amazing!]

[Hahaha! She lost!]

[Number One is still Number One! What's this rookie think she's doing challenging our champ?]

"Are you sure you've got me in checkmate?" Anthea's tone remained cool.

With that statement, Rebecca paused. What did this loser mean by that?

"Take another look," Anthea prompted, noting Rebecca's puzzled expression.

The chat room fans were also confused.

After a moment, realization dawned on everyone.

[Ah! I'm so fired up right now!]

[Same here! I'm actually tearing up!]

[Holy cow! Ann is fierce! Ann is the bomb!]

[Ah! Another day in love with Ann!]

[My goodness! Ann just blew my mind with her chess strategy! Turns out you don't have to always play offense!]

[That switcheroo was slick! AnnV587!]

[Mom, I'm so proud, I just saw my favorite streamer beat a grandmaster!]

Rebecca's brow furrowed as she finally saw the trap that Anthea had set. The cannon was waiting there all along.

She had been too careless! One wrong move led to another.

"I'll give you a piece handicap. Take your rook back," Anthea's voice came again.

Rebecca's face paled, a sweat breaking on her forehead.

She was a grandmaster, for goodness' sake! Did she really need to accept a handicap from a nobody? But if she didn't accept, she would lose!

What to do now?

For the first time during her streaming career, Rebecca faced a dilemma like this.
