Insult to the Chess Circle

Yoshie Masaki slowly stepped forward toward Finn Taylor until the two men were face to face with each other. "I'm not going to go easy on you. I'm going to crush you under my feet."

Finn Taylor simply ignored him. 'Yesterday, I wanted to put the Japanese team in their place after hearing Jessica Daimler's words. Today, I experienced such unfairness.'

He hated Yoshie Masaki to the guts, especially after what had happened to his wife

But for Yoshie Masaki, he'd never admit that he was second to anyone in chess!

Finn Taylor swore to himself that he was going to defeat Yoshie Masaki in the most brutal way possible.

As soon as the two men took their seats, Finn Taylor placed one hand on the chessboard.

"Three rules. First, you'll go first, and I'll go second."

"Secondly, you'll win if you finish within 100 moves. Over that, and I'll lose."
