Top 20 Professional Bios

Post by gogameguru »

An Younggil (8p) has started a new series on Go Game Guru profiling the Top 20 Professional Go Players of 2010.

So far he has written two articles in the ten-part series:
17 Cho Hanseung and 18 Chen Yaoye
19 Park Younghun and 20 Lee Younggu

As we publish more articles we will post them here.

We hope you enjoy the articles. As always, your feedback is most welcome.

Enjoyable to read and informative. :) I appreciate the personal commentary; it's a rare commodity when it comes to these mysterious professionals.

I'll have to try and play 300 games in one week sometime. :>

11 Zhou Ruiyang and 12 Tuo Jiaxi

These two are the only players in the top 20 that Younggil hasn't met, because they're so young. So Jing filled in for this article, but Younggil will be back soon to start on the top 10.

Haven't had time to go through them before, but did it today. Very enjoyable reading, and the style identification is quite unique, as this is not to be read somewhere else.
And besides go, bowling and starcraft are a must for professional go player. So I'm 66% in my way to become a pro (if you include karaoke, I'm 75% in my to professional!)
Great reading. Congratulations!
