[I’m tired. I’ve been a fan for ten years, so I’m going to take a different route today. I’m taking the opportunity to talk about my journey in the past nine years while I’m not a fan.]
[As in the title, the author will first clarify his identity: I was born in 1997, I have been a fan for ten years, I have learned Go for three years since elementary school, and after entering junior high school I stopped studying because of my busy schedule. Now I can watch the game records in Yiguo 4D. Although I am a novice, I am definitely not one of those "little wise men" who don't know Go at all and are simply abstracting into their brains]
[However, although I no longer study Go systematically, I can still be considered serious. The Go population will often pay attention to Go games and watch replays. 】
【Gradually, I became familiar with a name - Lin Ruixin. 】
【Since the beginning of 2014, this somewhat unfamiliar name has begun to appear frequently in the top eight of domestic competitions, even the semi-finals, and even the finals! This made me quickly pay attention to this chess player of the same age. 】
[In fact, I felt at that time that his chess revealed a kind of spirituality, and he was often able to play very counter-intuitive and good moves. 】
【After that, I got to know him in depth and found that although this young chess player who seemed a bit introverted and irritable had not yet made a big breakthrough in competition results, he could train outside the court. Said it was very hard. 】
【There was no AI at that time, and training generally consisted of training matches and playing online chess. Lin Ruixin is very fond of playing online chess, and the training intensity is very intense! 】
【His training volume has been so great that no one in the country can handle his number of games! In order to ensure the quality, he even found a way to sneak to the TYG Go platform in South Korea and found Lao Li, who also trained hard, and played the roll of life and death every day]
[But because Lin Ruixin was still relatively young at that time He has a mediocre mentality in competitions, does not pay enough attention to some details, and always fails. Therefore, many old people in the industry are not optimistic, thinking that his mentality problem is relatively big, and they are more optimistic about Long Bo taking over Lu Tianyuan and becoming the leader of China. 】
[But I was already impressed by Lin Ruixin’s spirited chess style and extremely hard-working attitude, and secretly became his fan, looking forward to his good results]
[Just in this period of unfavorable news Amidst the noise, Lin Ruixin suddenly emerged and stood out among many masters, becoming a challenger for the title of "Chess Saint"! 】
【After five fierce battles, King Shangqi chose to retire after the third game due to physical reasons. He really got the title of [Chess Saint], which symbolizes the best person in the country! 】
【At that time, although the masters in the circle were not optimistic about it, many people even thought that he only stole the chess master by relying on the poor health of the chess king. But I know that such a diligent and determined young chess player, as long as I give him some confidence, he will soar to the sky. 】
【As expected, everything that happened later confirmed my judgment. 】
[In the 2015 Spring Orchid Cup, he defeated Long Bo head-on in the final, proving that he deserved to win the [Chess Saint], and at the same time, he began his journey to seven championships. 】
[After that, the Sanshuang Cup, Miao Jia Bai Ling Cup in 2016, the 2017 Dream Lily Cup, and the Miao Jia Bai Ling Cup in 2018... Winning championships one after another made him recognized in the Chinese chess world. He is a leader of his generation, and his unruly style is even more refreshing! 】
[Before Lin Ruixin, most chess players were influenced by traditional Go etiquette education and were relatively introverted and calm. Even those who were relatively out-of-the-box like Lao Lei Jiudan would be more careful in public. One's own words and deeds (the fifth game of last year's chess holy war probably had special circumstances and cannot be counted). 】
【Lin Ruixin is very different from the impression given by previous chess players. After losing his youthfulness, he appears to be young and promising, but he dares to speak and act. 】
[Although words like "50% out of 100" and "I want Xiaoguang to bleed in five steps" sound a little disrespectful, you can really feel his youthful spirit. 】
[And the years when Lin Ruixin was invincible really gave us chess fans a great sense of peace of mind and happiness. It was precisely because of Lin Ruixin that our suppression of South Korea changed from "thickness alone" to "both sharpness and thickness"]
[At that time, which younger chess fan didn't like Lin Ruixin! 】
[At the beginning of 2019, Lin Ruixin used an absolutely strong attitude to crush Master Liu who entered the World Championship finals for the first time. While winning the sixth championship, he also won the championship at the age of 22 years and 4 months. Surpassing Choi Myung-ho and becoming the youngest "six-time champion" in history! 】
【At that time, almost all Chinese Go players were full of expectations for Lin Ruixin's future. 】
[And I also imagine that if things continue to develop at this rate, Lin Ruixin will not compete with Cui Minghao for the GOAT, but she will reach double digits in world championships and compete with Cui Chengshi for the "Executive Deputy GOAT". There is still hope. 】
[However...just when I thought it was just the beginning, I didn't know it was coming to an end. 】
【It was at that time that some problems in Lin Ruixin's character began to appear. 】
【Having achieved enough achievements, he is no longer diligent. He no longer tries every means to find time to train and improve like he did a few years ago. Instead, he goes on various variety shows, starts social media, and plays games live. 】
[Even in the game, as the situation became more and more grand, he also made many off-the-table moves. He was criticized by the association many times but still went his own way and turned a deaf ear. 】
【At that time, I felt that something was not right. But for this chess player who I have been a fan of since he was borrowed from Wuming, I still have a protective mentality. I think it is normal for Lin Ruixin to have such good results and have some airs. 】
[Besides, as he said himself, the sport of Go is indeed too niche, and it needs someone who can get out of the circle to endorse Go, which will be of great help in promoting Go. 】
【Unfortunately...battle reports may be deceiving, but the battle front is not. 】
【As his mind was distracted by other things, his performance in the game obviously declined. 】
[After winning the Sanshuang Cup in 2019, although he still maintained a certain degree of dominance in the country, his performance in the World Championships declined significantly. Except for winning the Sanshuang Cup at the beginning of the year, the other three world championships failed to enter the semi-finals! 】
【After entering 2020, the situation still has not changed much. 】
[Although in the LIG Cup at the end of the year, he relied on Master Liu's bell violation to win the opponent and win the seventh championship. But people with a discerning eye can already see that the content of his chess is different from Liu Shixian's in terms of offensive and defensive potential. 】
【Although I had a hunch at that time, Lin Ruixin might no longer be able to compete with Cui Chengshi for the Executive Deputy GOAT. But I think, after all, it’s okay to win one or two more championships, completely surpass the Shangqi King, and secure the No. 1 spot in Chinese history, right? 】
【But the facts tell me that I still took the clothes. 】
[In the 2021 Sanhuang Cup, Dapu’s small universe exploded and actually killed Master Liu! After he reached the final, Lin Ruixin defeated him first. Like most chess fans, I was joking about "South Korea's thickness deceives itself" and prepared to celebrate Lin Ruixin's "cupping king", but I didn't know that I turned into a clown! 】
[In the 2021 LIG Cup semi-finals, I met Master Liu again. This time Lin Ruixin finally found it difficult to suppress this diligent "youngster" and completely defeated his opponent. He did not enter the semi-finals of the World Championship for the next three years. , and also started the Menghuo journey to Master Liu. 】
[In the 2022 Qiantang Asian Games, Xu Lifan of Taiwan Strait Province turned on the fairy mode and showed his power. He eliminated Master Liu, the biggest sufferer of Lin Daqi Sage, in the semi-finals. This made me, a close fan, say that the compatriots in Taiwan Strait really still care about China. I opened the champagne again for the first time in a long time - after all, there may be four world championships in a year, but there is only one Asian Games gold medal in four years, and there may not even be one in the future! 】
【But who knows, even if Lin Ruixin is not facing Master Liu in the final, Lin Ruixin will still miss! He even lost by more than half an eye! This suddenly gave me a chill! 】
【If the World Championship is unfavorable, forget it. The Asian Games gold medal is lost. 】
【But in the past four years, do you know how much I want to see Lin Ruixin stop Master Liu once in the Nongshim Cup? ! 】
[In the three Nongshim Cups from 21 to 23, in which time did his teammates help him eliminate all the others and get in front of Master Liu? When has it not been possible to end the game with just one win from him? 】【But in the past three years, the battle between the generals has been a clean one! There is no feeling of the final gate of the Chinese team, which is heartbreaking. 】
[Even so, I can comfort myself that famous generals will eventually grow old. Lin Ruixin may be the type who comes early and leaves quickly in his peak period. It doesn't matter if his skills are not as good as others. After all, I have been a fan of him for so long, so just continue to be a fan of him until he retires! 】
【But I never expected that he would give up the Nongshim Cup preliminaries last year because of the chess holy war! 】
【We in China have not won the trophy for three years! Is this what a first person in his country should do? ! 】
【Don't say "Xiao Lei was exempted from the selection last year, so there is no need to be distracted, Lin Daqi Sheng also had no choice"! 】
[This year, in order to keep Ni Jue in the best condition to prepare for the Nongshim Cup, Xiao Lei and Tian Yuan obviously gave up the challenge opportunity that he had fought for all the way. As for the Nongshim Cup preliminaries, he also voluntarily gave up exemption, just to save Ni Jue from flying knives. 】
【You know, Xiao Lei hasn’t won a title yet! Moreover, the recent shortage of championships is such that even this year’s King of Kings is not able to participate! 】
【Compare the two and make a judgment! 】
【When I saw that the final exemption quota was given to Ni Jue this year, I couldn’t help but think: What is the purpose of my fandom of Lin Ruixin? 】
【Is he doing well? But his current overall strength may not be as strong as Xiaolei's, and he is going downhill and uphill. Why don't I follow Xiaolei? 】
[Does he know how to make a living? But I became a fan of him because of Go, but he ended up going to Rui every day to comment on outside events and play games live. Does this have anything to do with Go? 】
【If I really like the whole job, why don't I watch those serious fun anchors? Is it really like those "little wise men" who have to enjoy the feeling of "the anchor is a high-IQ Go master, so I also have good taste if I like him"? 】
【Although I was a little shaken at that time, Lin Ruixin seemed to have suddenly become more diligent not long ago and stopped broadcasting so much. I thought he had finally found his way back. It's not too late to make amends. I still have expectations for him. 】
【But I really can’t stand it anymore regarding the Yi Cup. 】
【Fan chess loses to Japanese chess player? Send Japanese chess players to the finals? 】
[Does he know the last time a Chinese chess player lost to a Japanese chess player? Does he know when was the last time a Japanese chess player reached the Yingyi Cup final? 】
【Does he know that it has been almost thirty years since the last Asian Cup final without Chinese people? ! 】
【If he is not strong enough, then forget it if he loses, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is obviously stronger than Little Rabbit! 】
[In the middle of the second set, I was overturned when I had both advantages in situation and time. The 69th move in the third game was a shocking move early... It was really painful to watch. 】
【If you take one step back, it will be nothing more than losing. After all, there are always variables in victory or defeat, and we fans are not qualified to criticize chess players harshly. 】
[But I... really don't want to hang out with those "little wise men" anymore. 】
【This is the end of the quarterfinals of the Yiyi Cup, and Rui Zhao lost to Takuya Ichijo. In fact, Little Rabbit himself said after the game that he is actually at a clear advantage. Previously, Rui Zhao was able to defeat Da Pu Lao Li in a row. To a large extent, the two South Korean masters did not target enough, and they may also have psychological baggage. 】
[The result was such a normal outcome. I don’t know why, but a bunch of "little wise men" were taunting them, saying something about "sending the Japanese to the semi-finals." 】
[Even if we don’t talk about the results of the semi-finals first, let’s just talk about that time. To put it bluntly, it’s okay for others to ridicule Rui Zhao like this, but Lin Ruixin and his fans are not qualified to do so, okay? ! 】
[Let’s take a look at Rui Zhaoshou’s line in hindsight: If she hadn’t killed Da Pu Lao Li one after another, 80% of Lin Ruixin’s opponents in the semifinals would have been one of the two South Korean world champions. 】
[Lin Ruixin’s record against Lao Li in the World Championships has always been poor, and he also had the experience of losing key games twice against Da Pu. Neither of them is a good pick. 】
【In the end, Rui Zhao killed these two and lost to the little rabbit. It can be said that his most ideal foreign opponent was presented to Lin Ruixin. How can those "little wise men" have the nerve to behave themselves even though they get an advantage? 】
【Besides, Rui Zhao is such a beautiful girl. After she became famous, she still practiced playing chess every day. She broadcast live every day either practicing by herself or letting Ran Ran explain her game, and she also helped her for free. Companies and localities that sponsor the event promote it. 】
[Although the live broadcast is far less popular and influential than Lin Ruixin, it is really helping the development of Go. 】
【On the other hand, Lin Ruixin himself does something to "leave people out of the circle" every day. I admit that it may have attracted some outsiders who really like Go, but more often than not, isn't there a group of people who only follow him every day? Abstract, an NC fan who just looks at the AI winning rate and points the country? 】
[It turns out that although the Go circle is small, everyone on the whole is relatively reasonable and has relatively consistent values. He has attracted such a group of aggressive people who don't understand Go at all. Isn't this the so-called "rice circle"? Is this really good for the development of Go? 】
[To be honest, ever since he attracted such a bunch of abstract fans, I often have to take screenshots of my Yiguo record on the forum to prove that I am someone who has liked him for a long time. An old chess fan is not a "little wise man". 】
【But if I persist to this day, forget it if I can’t win the eighth championship, and I actually get a result that sends Japanese chess players to the finals of the Yingyi Cup. I’m really tired. 】
【Unknowingly... I have written so much. You can just take a look at it and just think that I am vomiting my bitterness. 】

[That... the original poster is very considerate, I understand you very well]
[As we all know, every Xinhei was once a Xinhei fan, and I am the same. 】
【Owner, I really admire you. You are truly in love with the Internet celebrity Lin. When I was 22 years old, I decisively quit my fandom when I saw that the situation was not right, otherwise I would be with those "little wise men" It really lowers your IQ. 】
【Hey, brother, have you changed directions too? I also feel like I can't hold on any longer. 】
【It is really difficult to be a "rational fan"! I often feel that the first two words and the last two words are complete antonyms...]
...
At seven o'clock in the evening on August 8, in a room at the Cilian Courtyard Hotel in Cichi Town.
Mo Wei, who had just finished reading the most popular post on the Yiguo forum, looked solemn and was speechless for a long time. (End of this chapter)
