Chen Shien (3-dan) currently (29 August 2005) has the second most wins for 2005 in the Taiwanese domestic pro go scene (he has a 27-6 record). He is doing well in the Guoshou, tied at the top of the league with Lin Zhihan (7d) with a score of 3-1. However, a 3-dan Korean called Chen Shien recently took a semi-final spot for a position in the Samsung cup finals, and has been playing in League A of the SK Gas Cup, where he lost all 5-of-his games to finish bottom of the league.

Can anyone inform me whether these two Chen Shien's are the same person? If indeed they are, how does he handle playing in both countries?

John F. It's Chen Shiyuan (also recorded as Cheon Seu Wien, Cheon Suwien, Chin Siyen). He's a Taiwanese who studied with Kweon Kap-yong in Korea in 2000-12 and became pro there. He moved back to Taiwan in January 2005. Zhang Zhengping is a similar sort of example, though she also studied as an insei in Japan before going to Korea.

valerio: Chen Shiyuan is the correct chinese spelling; the most commonly used Chen Shien is the japanese spelling.
