Bab 551: Chapter 547: Deadly Chess of the Ghost Gate!

```

The Preacher had four individuals crowned with the titles of Foolish, Obsessed, Manic, and Mad, signifying their love for their respective domains and their formidable abilities therein. The Medical Fool, the Music Obsessive, the Chess Maniac, and the Path Madman. The Chess Maniac is so addicted to chess that he's gone mad for it, denoting a person with an intense fondness for playing chess. While some play chess for entertainment, others play to comprehend the Great Way, using the art of chess to compete in the martial world.

It is often said that the art of chess is as profound as the ways of man, suggesting that the intricacy of chess, while ostensibly teaching people to be mindful of interpersonal relationships, also subtly acknowledges the depth of chess itself. Those skilled in chess must be quick-witted and strategical, else they'd never succeed in a game. Some may stumble upon a lucky win, but that's not chess mastery, it's... sheer luck, and it never lasts long.
