Current #1



All of these pros are born from a province named Jeolla-do.
There is some kind of pattern in their appearances that, thin - round(not fat but little fatter than normal...) - thin - round - thin.
Also their playing styles are fast(aggressive, thin) - thick(solid, slow) - fast - thick - fast
If this is kind of a significant pattern. The next Korean #1 in go should be a round person born in Jeolla-do with a thick and solid playing style.

Thank-you for the nice posts lovelove.
