The match between Alpshar and me was approaching its end. When my infantry pieces encountered his, I was poised to win based on my numerical advantage. However, at that moment, Alpshar's archer pieces were the closest to my archers, preventing them from supporting the infantry. This meant the game would last at least a few more turns. Yet, I had moved my cavalry eight squares closer to Alpshar's palace. The cavalry had the chance to move up to eight squares in a single turn, but this game was much larger than chess, as I had mentioned before.
Now we were both silent and completely focused on the match.
