The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 530 Daggers

Black immediately launched the chess game with no courtesy for Daniel, placing the first black stone squarely in the middle of the board. They went back and forth, placing over a dozen stones each without capturing any.

Black was surprised, glancing at Daniel with disbelief. “I must say, I didn't expect this; you might be a country boy, but your skills are decent. You’re the first person in thirty years to avoid losing a single stone to me in the first ten moves. Not bad! Not bad at all!”

The game proceeded, and soon a third of the large board was covered. Yet the match was stalemated, with neither player able to capture any of the opponent's stones. Just then, Daniel made a move that seemed to be an error. As soon as the stone hit the board, Black's face lit up with excitement.

The country bumpkin has made a mistake!

While Black believed he had outplayed Daniel, Daniel seemed entirely unfazed, "Brother, it seems I’m the first to capture! With this move, I've taken three of your stones."

Black couldn’t contain his laughter, “What are you laughing at, Brother Black?" asked Daniel.

"Laughing? Of course, it's because you're too inexperienced, too impatient! Did you think I’d overlook those three stones? I let you capture them on purpose. You seize three of mine – I'll take thirty of yours."

With that, Black captured a significant formation of Daniel's, a complete dragon, snatching away thirty of his stones in one fell swoop.

Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!...
