The original purpose of the game was that it would last for four days. In the previous three days, Samuel won all the games smoothly. For him, those famous players in the chess field almost did nothing to stop him. But in these three days, there was a very strange phenomenon. The schedule of the first two days was very relaxed, but on the third day, he had so many matches that he almost had no time to rest.
Qi Yiyun had been defeated in the competition with Ouyang Xiujie. Her competition was over, but Samuel, who had fought four rounds in a row today, was still going on.
"How can there be such a strange competition format? He still has two games, and he doesn't even have time to rest in the middle of the way. This kind of high-intensity battle is not something that ordinary people can handle," Qi Yiyun said with confusion. Her opponent Ouyang Xiujie had already advanced to the finals tomorrow, and Samuel, who was most likely to b e Ouyang Xiujie's opponent, still had two more games at the moment.
"The day before yesterday and yesterday's matches were very relaxed. The organizers had piled up almost all of his opponents until today. They were purposely using up his mental energy." Wang Mao said indignantly. He had never seen this kind of competition format before when he had participated i
n more than a hundred competitions. Moreover, Samuel's opponents were all very slow today. They had deliberately wasted time and effort to exhaust his patience. They had forced Samuel to be exhausted mentally.
"Do you mean that Shangguan Heibai is playing tricks behind the scenes?" Qi Yiyun asked.
Wang Mao nodded and said, "Except for this old man, n o one will deliberately target him."
Qi Yiyun frowned and did not understand his behavior. She said, "Shangguan Heibai has hyped up the competition between Samuel and Ouyang Xiujie. What's the point of doing so if Samuel can’t get a promotion?"
"Even if he deliberately made things difficult for Samuel, Samuel can still advance. At least Samuel’s current state and spirit are still relatively relaxed." The only thing that could comfort Wang Mao was Samuel’s current state. No matter how slow Samuel’s opponent's speed of placing a chess piece was, Samuel still had a smile on Samuel's face. It showed that Samuel's state of mind was not affected. He should be very confident in the upcoming competition. There should not be any problem in advancing to tomorrow's finals.
Qi Yiyun admitted to Wang Mao's words that Samuel’s state could be seen with the naked eye. However, this made Shangguan Heibai's plan seem even more pointless.
