Toughest thing in life

While Emerson went out of the hospital with a well-dressed wound and sat beneath a tree, eating his dinner. With the pairing list in his hand, He starts thinking

Emerson: At the moment In 32 players only 16 players are left. After 16 matches are done,16 players move forward and round one is completed. In round 2 They will be 8 matches according to pairing mine will be 3rdmatch, Today they will be 4matches, and tomorrow morning 4, because of the opening ceremony and the technical issues 4matches are postponed to tomorrow. And round 3 and Semi-finals with also happen tomorrow.

And The Grand Final will take place the day after tomorrow. But should consider Today’s match...

Cris waiting near the pole outside the stadium, for his parents so he can go home in the parking lot. The parking lot is full of cars with over 500 cars.

Cris: what mistake did I do? If I can’t accept defeat I don’t deserve to enjoy a victory. But...This is so hard to accept. I think the room was noisy but even though he was in the same place, I made each move of my own will. B5, Pawn to B5 was the mistake. It’s not the end of my life, I can play next year...But...But...Why is my chest feeling so heavy, My jaws are shivering and paining, It’s kinda hard to breathe, And why are my eyes getting filled with water...I shouldn’t cry...I think this is the toughest thing in life, To accept our defeat.

Cris turns towards the wall and starts crying, He cries till Emerson finishes good food, while Emerson was sitting under the tree, Chad comes running towards him. With a milkshake in his hand

Chad: Take this milkshake! Your round will start in 15 mins. Drink and get hydrated.

Emerson: Thanks! So the 3 rounds are done? While drinking the milkshake

Cris slowly comes from the corner to where Emerson's seating and says

Cris: All the best! I would rather like be defeated by a champion.

Emerson: I will try, But my opponent is “The oldest player in the tournament”.

Cris: You Better beat him!Bye

Emerson: Bye. Even I will go inside the stadium. Come to Chad let’s go inside.

Chad: Yeah let’s go

They both start walking together and went inside the stadium. While going inside an overly dressed Tall girl with a short girl who is holding a book in her hand dashed them. Emerson falls on Chad, She didn’t even say sorry and they both went away.

Emerson to chad

Emerson: That was so rude. But I’m getting late to my round.

Now Emerson enters the ring, it was really clean and they were no roses and rose petals like before but the audience was not less than 100,000 it was a packed stadium.

Emerson then entered the ring.

Emerson: It was calm this time because they changed the soundproof glass I guess or the Audience is not cheering much. But I have my 3 fans cheering me.Haha.

Joe and Sohel from the audience with a Flexi written M.A.D

Emerson: Chad’s selling drinks for around 2 I guess.

From the outside of the stadium, a wooden stick knocking sound comes with an echo...Then a man with a scar on his face comes in Hat and a Black suit with really shiny black shoes. His walking was like the sound of a heartbeat with the stick and legs making the lub-dub sound. The whole stadium turned back to see this old man come, And the spotlight was turned on to

Emerson who is already standing in the ring for the toss with the arbiter

Emerson: That’s my opponent? He is kinda old but, His walk is scaring me. Such a royal and magnificent walk. He is giving me the aura of an emperor. But I shouldn’t be overwhelmed by his presence. Or else I can’t win him.

Arbiter: So welcome to both of you Calyden Voltas and Emerson Halidiya, The rules are the same as the 1st Round. This match is 45 minutes - 45 minutes with no increment. The won wins the first match, Wins the round. I draw, they will go to 2nd match if someone wins there, They will win. If drawn in that game also then Armageddon.

Here it goes, Arbiter takes 2 pawns in his hand and keeps his hands behind, and then he keeps his hand in front.

Mr.Calyden you pick on hand. And the old man touches the left hand.

Arbiter: Congratulations! You have won the white pieces. So please take your seats, the match will start in 5 mins.

They both walk towards the ring and seat down. Both players adjust their pieces and shake the hands. While the audience shouting The commentators go to their commentating seats. Everyone got their families, friends, and loved ones with popcorn and cold-drinks, and sat in their places. Few young spirits scan the, “ Guess the move” competition, where the QR code is just in front of their seats.

Boss: Guyssss.... Are you ready! For the Round 2 match 4. The battle between the First time participant and the oldest participant. Emerson Halidiya aka “M.A.D” vs Calyden Voltas aka “Loser ”and “The oldest player”. Emerson is participating for the first time in this competition and Calyden was participating in this competition for 40 years.

Ghoss: Your right boss, He is 78 years old now and He is playing in this tournament for 40 years. That’s why he got the oldest player title and The fun fact is he never won a single tournament in these 40 years, Which gave him the “ Loser” Title.

Boss: Now that we got to know about the players, Let’s begin to see what happens in the match. This is Nm boss and my co-commentator Fm Ghoss. Let’s begin the match!

the old man keeps his stick to the side and sits with pure elegance.

While Emerson takes his Suit off and hangs it on the chair.

Calyden starts making his move.

Boss: Ghoss the match has started and white starts with Nf3..also known as the reti opening

Ghoss: Boss, You know something amazing about this move? Mr.Calyden is playing this move in every match for 40 years, He never changed this move. What’s that important about this move? Anyways, Emerson plays Nf6.

Boss: Calyden plays C4, A trans position into the English opening.

Ghoss: EMERSON replies with g6, It’s to keep his dark-squared bishop on the black diagonal and castle his king. It's a pretty decent move

Boss: Not a bad move from white, He plays D4 occupying the center and getting some space for his pieces

Ghoss: As he made some room for his bishop, Emerson keeps his bishop on the g7 square, It’s a pretty normal game till now

Boss: Calyden plays Nc3. And Emerson castles 0-0. Now white takes his bishop out to F4 and Emerson throws in the First punch with pawn to d5 attacking the c4 pawn.

The old man (Calyden): Aren’t You greedy?

Emerson: I can play for a draw and try to win with white pieces but there is a set rule for not winning with black. I will just try to play chess.

Boss: Here comes. Very oddly Calyden plays qb3 and as expected Emerson takes the pawn on C4 and Queen takes C4

Ghoss: as the points system goes on it's 38: 38. For our non-chess fan

Emerson: Let me protect my pawn.

And Emerson plays pawn to C6.

Boss: white plays Rd1 and Emerson keeps his Knight on d7

Ghoss: And Mr.Calyden plays E4 getting more space in the center.

A room with a pink disco light with 3 sofas a big L.C.D Tv and a big window which is covered with pink curtains. A group of 5 girls with really old-school dressing styles and with different colors were watching this match carefully.

THE GANGSTER QUEENS

Leader of the Gangster queen’s gang: Guys the first 2 matches were the mafia group’s so we had nothing to do, And in the 3rd match Our princess won it against the mafia group and this was the 4th match. It’s against this newcomer Emerson from the rich old man’s group. The number of players left in the Mafia group is 5

The rich old man’s: 5

And We have 3

Other 4 members of the Gangster queens: Yes, Ma’am! We got pick piece of shit out

of the way, and make our princess go ahead.

Ghoss: Marvellous! This is such a great move played by Emerson. Is that a brilliancy? Knight to A4!! What a great move!

Joe from the audience: That’s our M.A.D over there!

Suhel from the audience: Never expected him to play chess like this.

Chad runs from the upper seats of the stadium with cold drinks in his hand towards Joe and Sohel.

Chad: Can you tell me what is happening in the match, I didn’t see when the old man played E4

Sohel: So, see loser played e4 and mad plays nb6 which attacks loser’s queen so he moves his queen to C5, Then Mad quickly plays bishop to G4 pining the rook to the knight. Now the old man plays bishop to G5. Here our mad plays a mind-blowing move. Which made everyone drop their jaw. Here he plays Na4.

Chad: But isn’t that just a free knight like knight takes is back right

Chad Pointing at the screen and shooting as if he found the mistake in that move.

Joe: See now, Here comes the beauty.If the Old man falls for the trap like you did Chad. He will lose the game. If Na4 Emerson plays ne4 which forks the both queen and bishop. So he can’t take it.

Calyden: Don’t worry, This hair simply didn’t grow grey. I won’t fall for that cheap trap. But I think I made small mistakes

Calyden keeps his hand inside his shirt and takes a half-broken Knight locket and holds it tightly in his hand with a calm and pleasant look on his face. As if that locket gave him the courage to play and move forward. And now calmly he plays Queen to A3

Glitches on screen.
