The Heiress

Another dream...
It must be our common affinity for the special, almost spiritual appearance of these Chinese girls like Minxia, Yifan or Wenjun, that makes your work so attractive for me. But now it's enough, this will my last contribution. I don't want to disturb your artistic mind too much. I simply think that the whole setup of your blog and the mindset behind it is unique and deserves further attention.

I'll always be happy to accept your contributions, when you wish, and I hope you'll find my not-always-chess-focused posts helpful along the way.

Maybe 'inspiring' hits it even more closely. However, many thanks and once again all good wishes for you and your work. May you be well and protected by the god who carries the heavy burden to save the reigning queen.

Alas, no god ever protected me.

When I look at your work, I am sure that you have a lot of "good spirits" who look after you and give you the opportunity to realize your ideas for the benefit of many others.
The poor god who is in charge to protect Yifan as the reigning queen is most likely too busy at the moment to communicate with ordinary people like us. Even a being from a celestial realm needs some time to fully understand

Of course — please don't misunderstand me. It was not a complaint about the divine priorities. I sincerely hope that Miss Hou Yifan will find her best (and more suitable for her) protection to ensure her own rights.

Absolutely no misunderstanding and no offense taken. I understand your mindset much more than you think.
To summarize, we have found a common basis to hope that Yifan Hou will find her reset button to return to the straight path, with or without the help of the countless gods in the various universes.
I have surely spent more time to help and promote Yifan on her path than anybody else outside her personal environment, and I still hope that she will cancel her engagement with Tradimo, renouncing another dirty 100.000 euros to return to the straight path to protect her regency with the power of her unique personality.

I don't know any detail about her situation, but of course I wish her to go where (and with whom) she actually wants. I didn't know her as an impulsive person.

I hope that I don't bore you too much. But to better understand my commitment to this topic, it has to be mentioned that we have run "yifanhou.net" - a quite popular tribute exclusively dedicated to Yifan and her life in China, with an extensive biography, reports about all of her tournaments and may other contents - for several years until her partnership with Tradimo.
This work was very special from the early beginnings in a small meditation hut in a Srilankan forest with a donated UMTS stick, packed with strong positive energy and sympathy for her. Even though I have never met her personally, I have spent so much time "with" her, that she is still like a younger sister for me. That's why I am really sad about the impact of these business relations on her recent personal development.
And now I want to thank you for the nice discussion and your attention. It will be my pleasure to further follow your work - silently from the distance.
