"Let's have a good game!"
As the clock was pressed, everyone shook hands with each other, signalling that the first round of the tournament had just begun. 85 games were started simultaneously, and the venue that seemed to be bustling like a street market suddenly fell into quietness that was enough to suffocate anyone inside this building.
The tournament itself was held in the Dubai Chess and Cultural Club, located on the west coast of the city. It was a pretty iconic building, being shaped like a chess rook. It was definitely a nice place to visit, but the hot temperature and the high humidity of the city made everything seem far hotter than reality, and honestly, even with so many air conditioners in the venue, playing in this state was basically close to unbearable.
'Damn, this is going to be torture…' Sheva smiled wryly.
