Tak!
Tak!
Tak!
Time passed quickly, and without anyone noticing, it had been more than an hour since the game of full tension began. Even though the air conditioner in the hall was set to the maximum setting, it still couldn't prevent sweat from rolling down everyone's face here. Both players, Sheva and Arfan, could be seen frowning deeply while they leaned forward to get a better look at the chessboard. Not that it would help them get better, of course, but the tension here was too high that they couldn't help but do that.
"This is tough…" Master Irene sighed deeply as she saw the situation from the live broadcast. "We have already entered the twentieth move here, but both players are still stubborn enough to play on the back. Now that almost all their pawns were interlocked, the only thing they could do to improve their position was to shuffle their minor pieces back and forth, yet it wouldn't help them both in the long term."
