Chapter 113

113 It's All According To Plan

Allen retracted his bishop to the d1 square. Carrion responded by also retracting one of his pieces which was his queen to the e8 square.

After deciding that his defenses were now solid, Allen attacked Carrion's pawn by moving his pawn to the c4 square. Of course, Carrion took the c4 pawn using his b5 pawn.

Allen wouldn't have pushed his pawn if he wouldn't get any trade for it. So, he took the pawn on a5 using his rook. Carrion didn't want to trade rooks so he moved his bishop to d7 to connect his rook with his other rook.

So even if Allen took his rook on the a8 square, Carrion could capture Allen's rook with his other rook so it would only result in an equal trade.

Allen also didn't want to trade rooks so he slid his a5 rook to the c5 square. Carrion decided to trade rooks with Allen as he attacked Allen's rook by sliding his d8 rook on the c8 square.

Since the c4 pawn was unguarded by an enemy piece, Allen waltzed his queen to the c2 square as he threatened to win the c4 pawn.

Carrion didn't want his pawn to be taken so he also waltzed his queen as he placed it on the e6 square to defend the c4 pawn.

"It seems that I can take this pawn for free. Don't you agree?"

Saying those words, Allen moved his bishop to e2, adding more attackers towards the c4 pawn. (Poor c4 pawn)

"Of course, I don't. I still have a few tricks up my sleeves."

Carrion replied to Allen as he traded his rook with Allen's rook on the c5 square. Allen responded by taking Carrion's rook on c5 using his pawn on d4.

After seeing the unguarded pawn on c5, Carrion slid his rook on the c8 square. Allen responded by moving his rook to the c1 square to back up his queen.

'Damn it! I no longer have any pieces left to move other than my h6 pawn. I expected Allen to be a good chess player but not this good! It seems I have overestimated him. He was right earlier as I never had any advantage against him whatsoever.'

'It looks like I have no choice but to find a way to draw the game. I no longer have any chances of winning the endgame since Allen has the positional advantage against me. Allen's king is so well defended while my king is weaker than him.'

Sighing in his mind, Carrion moved his h6 pawn to the h5 square.

In an instant, Allen took the pawn on c4 using his bishop on e2. Not only did it take the free pawn, but it also threatened to take Carrion's queen which Carrion didn't blunder as he moved his queen to the e5 square.

Allen didn't want himself to be back rank mated so he pushed his h2 pawn to the h3 square. With that move of his, he will no longer be back rank mated.

'Is this still within his preparations? How come his moves don't even take a second for him to execute? It's not like our game has a timer and he is playing as if the two of us were playing on a bullet game.'

With that thought in his mind as he was dumbfounded by how fast Allen could move his pieces, Carrion moved his king to the f8 square as he found that he couldn't move his other pieces or else it would be either inaccuracy or mistake but not a blunder.

Allen moved his bishop away to the a2 square which allowed his queen to defend the unguarded c5 pawn.

Carrion had already anticipated that move from Allen since it was a good move so he responded by moving his bishop as well to the c6 square.

Allen retreated his knight to the e2 square while Carrion pushed his pawn to the g4 square to attack Allen's h3 pawn. Allen ignored the threat as he pushed his pawn and landed it on the h4 square.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

Carrion responded by moving his knight to the d7 square to add another attacker to Allen's c5 pawn. Allen ignored it since it wasn't a threat as he moved his queen to the c4 square.

Even if Carrion took the pawn using his knight, it wouldn't matter much to Allen since he knew that if Carrion did that, then it would be a blunder since Carrion would lose the trade. After all the trades, it would result in Allen having a knight from the trade so the added attack on his pawn wasn't a threat.

'If only my bishop wasn't in the way of my rook, I could have not only traded with Allen and got a free pawn, I would also have a rook.'

Carrion regretted placing his bishop in the way of his rook since it blocked the attack of his rook to the c5 pawn. As they say, there wasn't any medicine for regret so Carrion could only suck it up and deal with it.

With regret in his heart, Carrion moved his queen to f6 as it was the best move he could find.

Before even a second have passed after Carrion's move, Allen moved his queen to the d4 square. Allen's quick move made Carrion doubt whether his moves were still within Allen's preparations.

Carrion knew that if this was a bullet game, he would no doubt lose on time since Allen was just too fast for him.

Of course, this was all due to Allen's <Supreme Chess Grandmaster> that he could be called the God Of Chess.

Carrion didn't want to trade queens with Allen and since he also didn't want to move his queen since he knew that his queen's place was quite good, he blocked the threat on his queen by his knight as he moved his knight to the e5 square.

Allen shocked Carrion once more as even before a second passed, Allen moved his rook on the d1 square.

"How? How can you play so fast? Do you even calculate all of these moves?"

Carrion couldn't help but ask in shock to Allen.

"You could say that it's all according to plan."

Allen vaguely answered Carrion.
