Aim For A Draw

"How? How can you play so fast? Do you even calculate all of these moves?"

Carrion couldn't help but ask in shock to Allen.

"You could say that it's all according to keikaku (plan)."

Allen vaguely answered Carrion while pushing the frame of his glasses as light glimmered through the lenses.

Hearing Allen's words, Carrion couldn't help but believe it since from what Allen had shown, he indeed could calculate his moves up to this point. Nevertheless, Carrion had a strong will and he would never give up this early so he moved his rook to c7.

Seeing Carrion's move that was so passive, Allen decided to go for an aggressive move as he moved his queen to d6, offering for a queen trade.

'Should I trade queens with him? If I don't, Allen might be able to easily defeat me if he still has his queen. I don't want to lose that fast against him so I might as well trade queens with him.'
