Chapter 60

Currently on the seventh floor of the South Coast City Shopping Center, there has been a chess match in order to welcome the new year's night. There are many kayaks that come, ranging from those who participate in the competition to those who just want to watch. But many more of them just want to see the continuation of the drama this afternoon.

In the Chess Game arena it is lined with dozens of tables complete with chess equipment, each table is filled by two chess players facing each other, obviously this is a chess match with a nine-act swiss system. Today it lasts 4 rounds and tomorrow towards the end of the year will last 5 more rounds.

On the wall above the stage was a banner 4 meters wide with writing. ‘Welcome to chess’ match participants. And beside the writing was a photo sentung yolk who was smiling. It seems that Young Master Sentung Yolk is happy to highlight himself in matters related to sports. Of course at 8pm last night when the opening event took place, he was the one who gave the word of speech as well as opening the Chess Match event in order to welcome this new year's night. 

Not to forget this Young Master Sentung Yolk in giving a speech saying, that he will compete chess with bad boy as an entertainment party. “Then the spectators and chessmen all do not go home first after this event. please watch my match in beating the Gembel Youth do not know yourself”. Thus the words of Sentung Yolk in enlivening his chess event, at the word of the celebration at 8 pm last night.

On the left and right walls of the banner were two LCD screens with not too large size, which displayed a chess diagram on the table of this one chess match. This LCD is connected to a computer operated by an operator, who observes this chess match. The operator was at the committee table in front of the chess players' table. 

Beside the operator was someone dressed in elegant white who looked engrossed in attention to the main party of this chess match, which was of course at the first table. This person is a Commentator who has been prepared by Tuan Muda Sentung Yolk in order Dwi Tarungnya with Gusmon at 10 o'clock.

In the chess game of the Swiss system, the first table is the main party because it is a candidate for champion. Each player will compete for a place to the first table. The winning player will get 3 Points, the draw will get 1 point each. While the loser does not get a point alias 0.  Each point collected will determine who is dealing with whom. 

Currently is the 3rd round of this swiss system chess match, each round will take place with each player given five minutes. This means that each player only has five minutes to run the entire chess step and they are free to use the five minutes in the step turn. 

With their chess clock controlling that five-minute time, each step would hit the chess clock. Where each button one hour is pressed, it will stop the clock of one player, and run the clock of the other player. If the total of the two hours in their maximum stepping turn, then of course the used time can be 10 minutes. 

In this round of 3, the Player with point 6 will face off against fellow point 6. Players with point 4 will face off against fellow 4. Players with point 3 will face fellow 3, and so on. Obviously the player with the highest point who can fill the first table. 

“Hm.. It seems that National Chess Master Sunu Prayindos will win the game again” exclaimed the commentator who was beside the computer operator with a slow almost inaudible. Because in this chess game spectators and chess players are prohibited to speak. The operator of the computer looked mangosteen while looking at the display screen from the camera projected from the first table. He immediately moves the chess pieces on the diagram screen, adjusting the steps the player makes at the first table.  

While the main party was still going on, some chess players had already finished their game and reported the results of the match to the referee. The referee records the results of the match according to the order of the table. 

A few moments at the first table the fierce fight had already entered a critical phase. National Chess Master Sunu Prayindos who turned out to be a young man who was greeted by Gusmon when he enrolled last afternoon. He seemed to be playing deftly despite the time crisis. And this last move of the Chess Master made his opponent die. Chess Master Sunu Prayindos seemed to be smiling in satisfaction. It was a game that drained his energy. His opponent looked to shake his head. Because he was sure, the time of Sunu Prayindos was only a few seconds away. But he still lost because of checkmate. Both men shook hands.

Finally, all participants at each table have completed the match. There is a short break ahead of the match round 4. In the fourth-round setting who against whom, the operator just put the points of each player that has been collected by the referee into the computer. Then the program will automatically regulate who is dealing with whom accurately without worrying that the person has met before.

At present the atmosphere of the night in the City of South Coast looks quite crowded. From inside a car traveling at moderate speed, a woman observed the state of the streets that are still in the footsteps of humans. The sidewalk shops are still filled with shoppers enjoying meals with their partners. In terms of the economy of the South Coast city is quite lively, what else is in the city center. But in the case of tycoons who control this sector of the economy, only a few are influential. Surely they were the first, second and third rank families of this South Coast City. 

So far Rank One Family there are only two families, Rank two Family there are three families and rank three family there are four families. The rest were families that were close to coming close to a third-ranked family. And of course there are many families from ordinary people in this city.

At the moment the car was still speeding towards the Shopping Center, the woman was still looking out the window.

“Eh. By the way, you never eat on the legs of five” the woman told the man driving beside her. 

“I used to eat quite often on the fifth leg, and in the store's headquarters also often” said the driver with a smile. The driver was of course Gusmon heading to the South Coast City Shopping Center. The woman was of course Virani who went with Gusmon. Virani currently wears a mask as recommended by Gusmon. But in his small bag there is a black eyeglass and a cute hat that will be worn later. That of course will complement his disguise inside the Shopping Center. 

“Oh yes” replied Virani while glancing towards Gusmon.

“Of course” Gusmon replied briefly, because he often ate at the fifth leg due to his minimal financial condition in his world first.
