Everyone present, aside from Bai Qianhu, had a fair understanding of chess.
Ye Huaijin's group of scholars had all but held their breath during the contest between Ye Shaohua and Bai Zhenzhen, especially at that move Ye Shaohua played when faced with certain defeat, turning the tide from a hopeless situation with such decisiveness, that all eyes looked upon her with awe.
Seated at her station, Bai Zhenzhen was dumbfounded. How could this be possible? Isn't this game supposed to be unsolvable until hundreds of years later in the modern era?
The more Bai Zhenzhen thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. Could it be that Ye Shaohua stumbled upon the solution by sheer fluke? It seemed that could be the only explanation.
For her to admit that a culture spanning five thousand years was inferior to that of an ancient person, her pride as a modern individual wouldn't allow it.
