Tong Yang Securities Cup
    Keywords: Tournament

The Tong Yang Securities Cup was a annual tournament sponsored by [ext] Tong Yang Securities (which now seems to have been renamed Tong Yang Investment Bank).

The 1st Tong Yang Cup was a purely Korean tournament, but for the 2nd event some Chinese players were invited as well. From the 3rd event onwards the tournament became a fully fledged world go championship. This third event was won by Yi Ch'ang-ho. It was his first international title, and can be considered to mark the beginning of Korean domination of world go.

Winners and defeated finalists:

 1st 1990  Yang Chae-ho   3-1  Chang Soohyun (*)
 2nd 1991  Seo Pong-su    3-1  Yi Ch'ang-ho
 3rd 1992  Yi Ch'ang-ho   3-2  Rin Kaiho
 4th 1993  Yi Ch'ang-ho   3-0  Cho Chikun
 5th 1994  Cho Hun-hyeon  3-1  Yoda Norimoto
 6th 1995  Ma Xiaochun    3-1  Nie Weiping
 7th 1996  Yi Ch'ang-ho   3-1  Ma Xiaochun
 8th 1997  Cho Hun-hyeon  3-0  Kobayashi Satoru
 9th 1998  Yi Ch'ang-ho   3-1  Yu Ch'ang-hyeok

(*) All sources I could find give this name, but there appears to be no such player. It may mean Cheong Su-hyeon.
