After receiving so many opening-card rewards from the system in the last couple of months, Sheva could say that he was confident playing against all kinds of first moves that his opponent would make. It didn't matter whether it was 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.c4, or even the strangest opening like 1.f4 or 1.Nf3, the boy was confident he could counter everything, not perfectly, but decent enough to survive the middle game.
This was the same for the 1.d4 that Claudia pulled this time. Just in the first move, Sheva had already calculated so many opening lines he could think of, with some that he was familiar with popping into his head. He had a lot in his repertoire, from the Benko Gambit, the Budapest Gambit, Benoni, or even his proudest weapon, the Dutch Defense. However, this time, since the boy wanted to test Anna's ability, he went for the common opening, putting his knight to the F6 square.
