There were a few rounds where he almost ran out of time, as he wanted to calculate a few more steps based on the card face.
He had previously watched some recorded matches, and he wondered why players in the videos would overlook or make mistakes in seemingly obvious situations.
It wasn't until he personally experienced it that he understood the reason.
Ree Shil, who fully realized this point, discussed it with Secretary Brown after the match.
He learned that in such formal card games, making the opponent feel a strong sense of pressure, forcing them to make mistakes, has also become a tactic.
Even in high-level duels, it's sometimes a matter of capitalizing on mistakes.
However, all in all, Ree Shil's first three rounds went quite smoothly.
Facing opponents with low intensity and barely adequate card skills, he didn't need to use any elaborate card decks.
