"This same line again?!" Everyone groaned when they saw the opening line that both Ding and Nepo picked for the fourth game of the day. "Come on! Why are they expecting something different here?!"
Yeah, the opening they picked was the same Ruy Lopez line that they had already committed in the second game. As any wise person said, madness was to do something the same over and over again and expecting a different outcome. However, maybe this was their intention beforehand. They didn't want a different outcome, wanting to get a draw and continue this tug-of-war.
"This should be the last rapid match of the day, right?" Sheva asked, trying to remember the exact format in this tiebreak.
"Yes, it is four rapids, and if nothing happened, then they would go for the blitz for… Well, forever." Anna whispered, starting to yawn. Even though it had only been two hours, which was far from their usual time spent in standard chess, watching three boring games in a row would bore anyone to death.
