One last tribute to our amazing beauty from Shanghai, taken by Alina l'Ami in Tehran:

Yifan has fallen victim to the financial temptations of the demons from Tradimo and their following from chess24, thus spoiling her character and her career. The god who should save the queen was obviously not strong enough or not willing to protect her against these spirits from the kingdom of darkness. She stagnates with her rating and her playing skills without any progress for more than a year now - even after finishing her studies at Peking University.

Just like water runs off the petals of a lotus flower, our new queen will not lose her path halfway for the sake of some dubious wealth from the dirty world of finance. She will develop further and we will see her in full bloom during the next WWCC match. Vive la reine.

Or maybe she just sacrificed again the Queen.
