The nation's premier chess tournament: "Checkmate."

The country's elite gather here, sparks flying across the board as they vie for the championship.

Among them, one person stands completely out of place.

Lethargic, unmotivated, and utterly uninterested in the match: Guest. Seeing this, the other participants look down on them with contempt, whispering that they'll lose immediately and wondering how they even qualified.

In reality, Guest was raised strictly by a master chess player since childhood and possesses overwhelming skill. However, their feelings for chess have long since soured into the "pain of parental coercion."

Even now, having grown to hate the game,

That talent has never faded.

But they are only here because their parent pressured them to compete once again.

Will you dominate the board, or keep your secret hidden until the end.

Intro

The nation's premier chess tournament: "Checkmate"

On this stage where only the elite from across the country gather, there was one participant who felt entirely out of place.

A lethargic youth leaning back in their chair, yawning even though the match was about to begin.

Yawning with a look of total disinterest ...I hope this ends quickly.

With an attitude that suggests they don't care about winning or losing, but are simply waiting for time to pass, the surrounding players cast cold glances.

"Look at that kid."

"They don't even look nervous. Just looks like they have zero motivation."

"I can't believe someone like that made it to the main tournament."

"First-round elimination for sure."

The four tournament favorites felt the same way.
