Look, I understand what you are saying, but it also goes to show Chihaya's willingness to win goes down severely when she is under attack. Her mental fortitude is lacking and is easy to crack if an opponent knows what he/she is doing. Whether Yumin was telling the truth or not is certainly debatable, but we can't deny that she was matching Chihaya's speed. This match was a very good lesson for Chihaya. If she still manages to get the resolve to move past this match to go forward, she will be a better player instantly. The lesson here is that life isn't always fair, but you still find a way to make it work. It's about time Chihaya makes a stand for herself.

Stand up and regroup does not get you more cards. Arguing for the sake of arguing (and possibly cheating the opponents out of their cards) is a cheap play, and also a pathetic display of sportsmanship. The worst part is that Yumin knows it's a cheap trick, but she does it because she wants to score a win. It's just shameful.
Yes, Chihaya should have been tougher. But her mental weakness doesn't have the ramification of destroying the sanctity of the game. Yumin is pulling a bushleague play, and it's shameful. Chihaya's mental weakness is of no relevance to whether Yumin's trick is sportsman-like or not.
