The game had reached its final moments when Wei Yuan suddenly played two extremely foolish moves, seemingly on the verge of turning the tables. However, Monk Qiuyue felt strong dissatisfaction, and said sternly, "The essence of Go lies in honesty and wholehearted sincerity! Your intentional concession is simply preposterous! I have lost this game!"
Immediately following that, Monk Qiuyue conceded the game with the placement of a piece.
Wei Yuan was taken aback and could only apologize, vowing to give his all in subsequent games. Only then did Monk Qiuyue's expression clear slightly, after which he silently chanted sutras and began to deeply repent for his momentary lapse in Zen discipline.
Wei Yuan finally understood that holding back against a Grandmaster of such caliber was tantamount to a direct provocation.
