Dylan was stunned for a morient, then quickly agreed

He had come to the venue today just to see Natalie compete in person, but he never expected both the Mitchell and families to make him an offer at the same time.

Everyone knew how valuable these two investments were. With the Mitchell and Pierce families deep roots and ind Harbor City, either one could easily help the Clark Go Club establish itself in the city

Dylan thought, ‘Reaching out to Mr. Miller was definitely the right move. Miss Moore is a seal lucky star for the Clari family!

He took a deep breath, trying to look calm. Thank you, Mr. Mitchell. Thank you, Mr. Pierce

Andrew nodded, but didn’t say anything more

Henry didn’t look at him either, his gaze returning to the broadcast screen.

On the big screen, the referee announced the start of the match. After the coin toss, Helen took black, and Natalie too white.

Natalie’s first move landed in the upper right corner, calm and unhurried, just like her style, steady, reserved, never ru or a quick win.

Natalie’s response was neither too fast nor too slow. During the opening phase, both players were feeling each other ou ierce attacks, no complicated patterns, just two players communicating silently through their moves.

Helen’s moves grew slower and slower. She realized Natalie had anticipated her every move.

Something clicked for her, and she gave a slight smile. Every move was under Natalie’s control, drawing her into a trap. he couldn’t do anything but follow along.

She glanced up at Natalie, who was still looking down at the board, her expression calm and unreadable

Helen couldn’t see anything in Natalie’s moves, just like the feeling she got from her now calm, almost undifferent lackin he aggression of other pros, not even a hint of obsession with victory.

She withdrew her admiring gaze and continued to play.

But as she placed her next stone, her play took a sharp turn.

No more careful, step-by-step progress, she suddenly launched a skirmish in the upper right corner

Helen thought, I’m done letting Natalie lead me around If I’m just going to get slowly suffocated by her pace. Id rather tal matters into my own hands and stir things up

Natalie stayed calm. Her white stones maneuvered deftly never clashing head on, but each move hit Helen right where if

hurt most

Foot Miller pigyang style

But on her board. Jacob Miller’s style was just a faint trace. One reason was that she had her

of familiarity only settles in her years of playing with him

If you haven’t played with Jacob Miller for a long time, you’d never notice it

But the other reason left Elliot even more stunned Natale’s approach to Go bore the mark of Jacobs Miller’s interes meant she must have learned from him a long, long time ago

Maybe even that her very first introduction to Go was under his guidance That was the only way she could have card this level.

And in the world of Go, to not only inherit your master’s style, strategy, and mindset, but to turn all of that into the foundation of your own play. You had to truly grasp everything they had to offer and then surpass them

Didn’t that mean… Jacob Miller wasn’t just Natalie’s teacher. Her Go skills had already gone way beyond hast

Harvey stared at the girl, who looked impossibly young for all this, unable to believe what he was seeing. He didn’t eve to dwell on his own guess.

Thirty years ago, at the Summerset-Yamato Go tournament, Jacob Miller single-handedly defeated three 9-dan master from Yamato. In the final game, he played the legendary move called ‘Dawn, which remains a classic in Go history After that move, the Yamato Go world was shaken, and Summerset’s Go scene ushered in its very first spring

Later, when Jacob Miller retired, the Go world was full of speculation.

Some said he was in poor health, others that he’d grown tired of the game, and still others that he’d been heartbroken at relationship.

Harvey never joined those discussions. He knew Jacob Miller wasn’t that kind of person

Someone who could play a move like “Dawn” would never walk away from Go, no matter what happened

Now that I think about it… could it be that Natalie’s talent was the real reason Jacob Miller stepped away from the face le those years ago?

The commentator glanced at Harvey’s pale face and asked cautiously.

“Mr. Rodriguez, are you alright?”

Harvey shook his head, took a couple of deep breaths, and turned his gaze back to the seren

The situation on the board was becoming clear White was ahead in actual territory and Black would have to all ack if she wanted any chance to win.

Helen gritted her teeth and pressed hard in the center, trying to build a big moyo and turn the tide.

Natalie didn’t rush to confront her directly Instead she played so light move con the ouisude, sexgungly retreating actually reducing Black’s potential territory

Helen’s moves got heavier and more desperate When she finally tried to barken it was alreeds com late

The center was sealed off by White from the outside Not only did Black Lal to clanom linerho were now left stranded, a lonely group that would take a ton of effort just to keep alive

Helen warted to sweat. She realized her attack in the center hadn’t gotten her anything. Instead, she d just dragend here

into a quagmire

Helen stared at the board, seeing her stones completely dead, and sat in silence for a while. Then she put her stones bac into the jar, the soft clink sounded in the quiet room

“I lost, Helen said quietly.
