Du Buyi had been a chess prodigy since childhood.
Piaoyao Battleboard was very popular among children in Hexi. Three or five mischievous kids could get together for a match.
The winner would be smug, the loser wouldn't be dejected. The watching children would clamor for another round.
Du Buyi excelled at playing Piaoyao Battleboard. Every time he made a move, he would imagine himself as a great general.
Commanding with ease, irresistibly sharp. Perhaps it was precisely this conviction that allowed Du Buyi's pieces to connect and win repeatedly.
He was proud of his winning streak.
But ironically, he would ultimately be defeated by a bunch of grapes.
