A day before the chess tournament.
First-grade class 0’s classroom.
The classmates of First-grade class 0 came to school earlier than usual, because of class president Yuri Kim’s request.
All except Vice-president Ui-shin Cho.
“Then we’ll start the meeting for Ui-shin’s Stalemate chess tournament for tomorrow!”
In front of the electronic blackboard, Yuri Kim wrote the title of the meeting in a cute and round handwriting.
“Vice prez is going to a chess tournament?”
“He didn’t tell me, so I didn’t know!”
Even Hyo-don Maeng and Se-eum Sawol, who were on the same floor as Ui-shin in the dormitory, had not heard of his’s participation.
“Jiho, have you heard anything about it?”
“No.”
Jiho Hwang answered Lenna Lee’s question with a twinkle in his eye.
Lenna, seeing that face, thought, ‘I think Jiho knew somehow,’ but decided to stay still.
“Did you hear from him directly?”
Han-yi asked, but Yuri shook her head.
“No. It was a coincidence. When Ui-shin participated in the first quarter student representative meeting, um…… I saw him scrap the chess tournament schedule. I checked Stalemate’s website just in case, and he was on the tournament list!”
“Come to think of it, the filter he set for himself was a chess piece.”
Green Min activated a hologram.
“I think he was a famous chess player.”
“Huh? Wow, this is for real!”
Yuri checked Green’s hologram and projected the screen onto the electronic blackboard.
The hologram was full of Ui-shin Cho’s history of winning domestic and international chess competitions.
“Wow…… He got these awards before he entered high school.
“Sick, dude. How come he never goes to competitions after high school?”
“Probably because he needs to be a fully registered player. Professional players are limited in participating in sports competitions.”
“Chess is a sport?”
“I heard that chess and Bridge were recognized as a sport by the IOC. Chess, Xiangqi, and Go are also the official games of the Asian Games.”
“That’s some weird sport. So do they have footage of the competitions?”
“Yes! I wish we could see Ui-shin’s video.”
Se-eum developed a hologram and showed it to Hyodon, and even chattered about checkers and the International Mind Sports Association(IMSA).
When the two suddenly turned up the heat with sports talk, Lenna spoke out to change the topic.
“Do you want to set a cheer slogan?”
“The Stalemate’s adviser will isolate the audience seat and the field with spatial skills. The sound will be blocked.”
“Spatial skills? Oh, Mr. Yong Je-gun was the adviser of the chess activity group. When you think about it, making a loud noise will interfere with playing chess.”
