ORIGIN & LORE
The GothamChess vs. Dewa_Kipas saga began in March 2021 when Indonesian player Dadang Subur (Dewa_Kipas) defeated International Master Levy Rozman (GothamChess) on Chess.com. After the platform banned Subur for suspicious play, a massive wave of nationalistic defense from Indonesian netizens targeted Rozman across social media. The controversy eventually led to a televised exhibition match between Subur and Grandmaster Irene Sukandar, which drew millions of viewers and confirmed the discrepancy in Subur's skill level. This meme template captures the friction between data-driven suspicion and passionate online mobs, often used to depict situations where an underdog's sudden success is questioned or to mock over-the-top internet outrage.
