International Title Statistics
   

From 1988 onwards there have been a number of major international tournaments in which the best players from all three major go-playing countries have been able to compete. On this page I present some statistics on the winners of these tournaments. At the end I've listed the tournaments which are included.

The Statistics

These figures are as of July 2002, and 40 tournaments are included.

Numbers of tournament wins for each player are as follows:

 Yi Ch'ang-ho     13
 Cho Hun-hyeon     8
 Yu Ch'ang-hyeok   6
 Ma Xiaochun       2
 O Rissei          2
 Takemiya Masaki   2
 Cho Chikun        1
 Kobayashi Koichi  1
 Otake Hideo       1
 Rin Kaiho         1
 Seo Pong-su       1
 Yoda Norimoto     1
 Yu Bin            1

The tallies for each country are as follows. (I count each player according to the country he usually plays in. This is somewhat generous to Japan, since O Rissei and Rin Kaiho are from Taiwan, and Cho Chikun is from Korea.)

 Korea  28
 Japan   9
 China   3

The Tournaments

The following tournaments are included in the above statistics:

Four tournaments which will count are currently in progress (15th Fujitsu Cup, 7th LG Cup, 4th Chunlan Cup and 1st Toyota & Denso Cup).

The following is a list of the winners, in chronological order of the date of the win (that is, the date of the last game of the tournament - although in the case of the 4th Fujitsu Cup this game wasn't actually played).
