ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
Ching, in order to help his friend Yumei Ding out of her ailing TV program, Whiz Kids' World, finds a prodigy Shengfang Wang, who is good at playing chess. He brings him back home and plans to train him. Then he discovers that Wang possesses some strange power which enables him to foretell his adversary's next decision. This reminds Ching of another chess player Yisheng Wang, who he met in Mainland China when he was a child. With a poor family background, Yisheng Wang had to give up his addiction to play chess and accepted different kinds of reforms through labor. With his friend's encouragement, he then decided to take part in a chess match. Unfortunately, he was imprisoned before the match because he tore a big-character poster. With the help of Ching's cousin, who bailed him out from prison with a set of antique chess, Wang was able to join the match. But finally he gave it up and clashed with the other chess players. Now in Taipei, when professor Liu knows that his adversary Shengfang Wang holds the kind of strange power, he kidnaps him in order to achieve his own ambition. |
