Congratulations are due for Cho Hun-hyeon when this afternoon he reached his 1,900th career win, defeating female professional Choi Jung. Setting the record, yet again, for the most professional games won the next closest is his former pupil, Yi Ch'ang-ho (1,644), followed by Seo Pong-su (1,537) and Cho Chikun (1,400+). It will be exciting for go fans when the first 2,000th career win marker is broken in the next few years.
On a similar note, Cho also holds the record for the most number of titles (158), again beating out his former pupil Yi (146) for first place. Where do other professional player's stand on this title marker? Cho Chikun leads Japan with 74-titles, in China Gu Li just recently tied with top 1980s & 90s professional Ma Xiaochun at 47-titles, and Yi Se-tol follows a distant third in Korea with 42-titles.

If anyone has Cho's most recent game record and would like to share, it would be appreciated.
Thank-you,
