Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Dadang Subur alias Fan God declared that he would not fight another grand master if he managed to beat WGM Irene Kharisma Sukandar.
Through his son, Ali Akbar, Dewa Kipas is said to have only once served a duel against a professional chess player, namely facing Irene. After this moment, the Fan God was reluctant to return to competing.
“It doesn’t stop completely. Only if, for example, there is a media that wants to match you with another master, you will definitely refuse,” said Dadang’s son, Ali Akbar (Monday (22/3).
According to Ali, his father refused to compete due to health factors. The retired BUMN prefers to spend his time selling bird feed.

“As long as you can come to the house while staying in touch, it’s okay. If suddenly you are asked to leave town again to compete, you will be tired,” said Ali Akbar.
If anyone invites him to play chess, Ali states that his father is only willing to play casually.
“I only wanted to have a casual match, if someone stopped by the house,” he said.
Previously, the Fan God took the virtual universe by storm because of chess.com online. The excitement then started when the fan god whose real name was Dadang Subur defeated Gothamchess alias Levy Rozman who often did live streaming in his chess game.
The duel was broadcast live and culminated in the victory of the fan god. Shortly thereafter, the Fan God account was banned by chess.com.
The sensation that raised the name Dewa Kipas also made the Indonesian Chess Association (Percasi) speak up. The reason is, the commotion on social media then made the face of Indonesian chess discussed in the international world.
Women Grand Master (WGM) Irene Kharisma Sukandar then raised her voice in an open letter after Dewa Kipas appeared on Deddy Corbuzier’s Podcast and stated that he did not commit fraud.

Irene, who is already active in the world of professional chess, has also been subjected to criticism, ridicule, and even bullying. Irene is challenged by netizens to face the Fan God to prove that she is indeed better than the Fan God.
