Sixth Chunlan Cup
This is the starting page for the discussion of a major professional tournament with the purpose of commenting all the games. The sixth Chunlan cup has been chosen because the players who participated in that tournament represent a wide cross-section of the strongest players from Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan. Studying these twenty-five games not only provides experience like studying other pro games, but it helps keep us up-to-date with the latest developments from the top players in all the strong nations of Asia.
The game records are available for free online but without commentary. http://igo-kisen.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cl.html seems to be the most organized source, but Go4Go has many of the games as well.
Note: this project was discontinued after the partly transcription of several games
