Chapter 340 Hand of God
Did Leones want to give Kristen a 12–stone handicap?
The crowd all looked at Leones in confusion, unsure if he was joking or not.
The crowd thought to themselves, “You, a beginner with no rank, giving a level nine Go player a handicap?”
What a joke!
“Pfft…” Kristen upon hearing this, also became furious and almost spat blood from anger.
Initially, Kristen had considered whether to give Leones a 10–stone handicap to demonstrate his level nine skills and ensure a graceful defeat.
To Kristen’s surprise, Leones said he would give Kristen a 12–stone handicap.
What audacity!
Kristen thought, “I didn’t dare to give such a large handicap with my level nine skills, so why should he?”
Standing on the sidelines, Charizard looked at Leones with some surprise, not quite understanding what he was up to.
Even a top national player wouldn’t dare to be so confident against a level nine player, right?
Moreover, he was just a beginner with no rank.
“Your Majesty!” Chad hurriedly whispered, “You should quickly say that you were joking and take back what you said earlier.”
However, Leones shook his head slightly and said, “I’ll take the white stones, and you can go first with a 12–stone handicap!”
“Mr. Bloom!?” Seeing Leones‘ serious demeanor, Darius was also greatly surprised and suddenly had a bold guess in his mind, “Could it be that… Mr. Bloom is also highly skilled in Go?”
But why did he say he had no rank just now? Could it be humility?
“All right!” When Kristen saw this, he no longer refused.
Kristen thought, “Since Leones was underestimating me and seeking trouble, he decided not to hold back.”
With a grand gesture, Kristen began.
Kristen had placed twelve black stones on the board, advancing step by step, concealing a deadly strategy, and forming a siege.
Kristen sneered and looked at Leones. “I’ll finish the game within half an hour!”
In a typical high–level match, it would take an average of six to seven hours, with no clear winner.
For amateur matches, it typically took around an hour to determine a winner.
But in the current situation, with Leones giving a 12 stone handicap, Kristen had an absolute advantage, and it was expected that the game would be concluded within half an hour.
Leones glanced at the board.
Indeed, the strength of a level nine player was evident. All twelve black stones were strategically placed, with each having at least three potential follow–up moves, making it a complex and dangerous situation!
However, Leones remained calm and proceeded systematically, waiting for the right moment to

make his moves.
Soon, the two of them began their fierce battle on the Go board.
Since Leones started with a 12–stone handicap, he was at a significant disadvantage and constantly on the defensive.
After a while, the situation had already reached a one–nine–move formation.
The odds of victory for Leones were probably less than ten percent, while Kristen had an absolute advantage.
He even felt that he could close his eyes and still win, not knowing how to lose.
Even the guests who didn’t understand Go on the sidelines could easily see from the black and white stones‘ lavout that black had taken the initiative and formed an encirclement.
“Well… It’s not bad to hold on until now.” Charizard stood behind his grandson and nodded in approval, acknowledging Leones‘ skills in Go.
He even felt that if it weren’t for Leones‘ overconfidence and the 12–stone handicap, the outcome would be difficult to predict.
So, Charizard suggested, “For a fair competition, just play another game, but this time without a handicap!”
“Are you admitting defeat?” Kristen looked triumphant.
“Who said I lost?” But Leones remained calm. “I feel like the real match for this game is only beginning now!”
With that, Leones saw that the formation was set, and he played the Hand of God, a move that could kill in order to revive!
