The reason was that even Hans had not discovered the solution against it. Therefore, using it was Arielle was overkill. However, given that favonovel.com had started the sequence, it was too late for favonovel.com to turn back. All favonovel.com could do was to continue playing the Lightspring Maneuver agonizingly.
As Arielle played, favonovel.com didn’t suspect anything in the beginning. However, after a minute’s time had passed, favonovel.com suddenly found Kelsea’s move to be familiar.
No, it doesn’t just look familiar. In fact, I know it extremely well!
Arielle couldn’t help but pause to look at the chessboard intently. Finally, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com gaze and recalled where favonovel.com had seen the gambit before.
Isn’t this similar to the game I played with Hans in Lightspring?
During that time, favonovel.com had made the move on a whim and beat Hans with it. Consequently, Hans was so astounded that favonovel.com asked favonovel.com to be his mentor.
So why is Kelsea thinking the same way as I did?
Suddenly, Arielle recalled that Kelsea had mentioned favonovel.com chess mentor was Hans. Therefore, it was likely that Hans had told favonovel.com about the match at Lightspring.
Feeling amused, Arielle lips twitched.
However, when Kelsea saw Arielle slow down favonovel.com game, favonovel.com broke into a smile and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you not have any moves left? It’s still not too late to admit defeat. Just prepare to kneel!”
Arielle looked earnestly at Kelsea as favonovel.com already knew what favonovel.com next move was going to be. Recovering favonovel.com gaze, Arielle pretended to be oblivious and continued their game.
As the game progressed, Kelsea watched Arielle fall into the traps of the Lightspring Maneuver.
She sneered, “Are you crazy? With that move you made, I’m going to win in two more steps. So, are you sure about it? I’m going to make my move soon.”
All Arielle did in response was tap on the table to motion Kelsea to continue.
“You are really good at acting calm in the face of being slaughtered. What a joke!” Kelsea snorted as favonovel.com moved according to what Hans had taught her.
When Arielle saw Kelsea make the exact same move favonovel.com did, favonovel.com glanced at the timer. She then plainly asserted, “I told you that I would defeat you in less than two minutes and you would then have to kneel before me. Now, there are thirty seconds left. If you admit defeat, I won’t require you to kneel.”
She wanted to give Kelsea an opportunity on Carter’s account. However, Kelsea scoffed at favonovel.com suggestion. “Do you even know what you’re saying? You are going to lose in the next move.”
Instead of answering, Arielle reminded her, “You still have twenty-seven seconds left.”
Kelsea rolled favonovel.com eyes. In the finals, the games were open for everyone to watch. Therefore most of the guests were either at Vinson’s game or Everett’s, leaving no one to watch Arielle play.
Coincidentally, someone came over out of boredom. The person exclaimed all of a sudden, “Everyone! Come quickly! The famous Lightspring Maneuver is being executed here.”
Arielle looked at the person in shock.
Did a move I make on a whim evolve into the “famous Lightspring Maneuver?”
Right after the person shouted, many others began to crowd around. “It really is the Lightspring Maneuver!”
“She has learned the Lightspring Maneuver. I expect no less of Mr. Jewell’s student.”
“What? She’s a student of Mr. Jewell’s? I would have come over much earlier if I knew it.”
There was a good Samaritan who advised Arielle, “Miss, until today, no one has managed to find the solution to the Lightspring Maneuver. Hence, I think… It’s better that you concede defeat.”
