More and more pieces appeared on the chessboard, and the young man wanted to ask more and more questions, but as the game progressed, his pieces started to diminish.
He was suppressed by the girl in front of him, and due to the pressure, it took several turns for him to finally place a piece.
The situation evolved from evenly matched to a gradual loss of advantage for him, or rather he never had much advantage to begin with.
The impression of being evenly matched was just because the game hadn't fully unfolded.
"..." Staring at the seemingly surrounded and deadlocked game, the young man placed his hand on the edge of the chessboard, wishing to flip it over, but he suppressed this impulse when the board slightly moved.
He continued to search for an opportunity to place his piece, and after a long while, he finally put down the piece he's holding. At this point, attacking or trying to break through the encirclement was futile.
