  • It's a translation of the Xuanxuan Qijing.
  • It will be out this fall in four, 240-page volumes @ 10$ each. Published by BadukTV.
  • It follows the common 347-problem layout. Each problem contains the English, Korean, and Chinese name; a 5-star difficulty rating; and a small hint. Anecdotes surrounding the collection and some of the problems.
  • Article gives the audience as 1-5 dan.
  • Cho was aware of John Fairbairn's version, but wanted to translate phrases and titles using her own unique view of the problems and language. However, she referred to John's version and others when trying to reconcile inconsistencies.
  • A major goal was the have a simple version in terms of language, layout, and solutions.
