Chen Jiuyan initially revealed his sharpness at the thirteenth move, taking the initiative to launch an attack in an attempt to seize the advantage, causing an uproar among the crowd.
Dan Che maintained a calm expression as he responded, seemingly adopting a passive defense in the next few moves. However, in Zhao Douan's eyes, this was a methodical, gradual build-up of momentum.

"Dangerous now..."
"How could it be? The situation just now was clearly good."
A small disturbance stirred among the crowd, and even some started to debate in whispers; this was clearly no well-ordered chess house.
It was difficult to restrain people's discussions.
