The chessboard seems to hold no advantage for the young man, but he remains undeterred, just like when he first made his move.
When not making a move, the future timeline he sees appears fixed; after making a move, the fixed timeline becomes blurred, producing many changes.
Thus, no matter how unfavorable the outcome appears in the chessboard, he does not stop because of it.
Continuing to make moves, while waiting for Tia to play, the young man asks new questions, finding in the ongoing and long exchange of questions and answers that he has indeed done much.
It turns out someone has been searching for him all along, for over two hundred years, and with this issue as the focus, the young man generates even more questions.
"Why have they only searched for me for over two hundred years?"
"Tianhe has only been thawed for two hundred and forty-four years."
