This is the moment two elderly men continued their chess match despite a heavy downpour in northern China. CCTV footage captured the locals sitting on the roadside in Hebei province on August 14, engrossed in a game of Xiangqi, or Chinese chess. When the rain suddenly poured down, one of their friends quickly took shelter - but the two players kept their focus on the board. The tense match ended with the man in a white shirt claiming victory. He stood, waved goodbye, and walked away, leaving his defeated rival in a black shirt still sitting in the rain. Unwilling to accept the loss, the man remained at the chessboard for hours, replaying the moves in his mind to figure out what went wrong. His wife even arrived with an umbrella, but he shooed her away in frustration.\ Eventually, he realised that no matter which strategy he tried, he would still have lost the game - a lesson learned as the rain continued to pour around him. #CCTV #chess #news #rain
