Playing chess with these people, for her, was also a master class for her chess skills. As she watched her opponents' moves, she learned. In the next few sets, she felt that her chess skills were getting better and better.
She was glad that she had not met that "M378". That player was adamant. If she met him in this round, with the time limit, she doubted she would be able to get even one point. This kind of competition wasn't just about ability; it was the luck of the draw.
There were many players matched with opponents of their level. They couldn't finish a game in the set time, so they got no points, and would be eliminated in the end. After all, it was just a small game. The system hadn't been perfected.
The game ended at midnight. Sophia came a little late but still got enough points. She had class tomorrow, so she got off the line and went to bed.
Once again, the chat room fired up.
"Am I imagining it, or Is KAP playing faster?"
"Waiting for KAP to destroy the M Army!"
