Qiwang

(棋王戦) The Qiwang was one of the major Chinese titles. Like the old Korean Kiwang, it means "king of go". Discontinued in 2003.

It is (apparently) not to be confused with the WeifuFangkai, a successor tournament begun in 2003 to replace the Qiwang and thus sometimes itself referred to by that name.
