Ing Cup
   

The Ing Cup was the second world go championship, starting a few months after the 1st Fujitsu Cup. It has been held regularly every 4 years. The event was conceived of by Ing Chang-ki, and is partly sponsored by the Ing Chang-ki Weichi Educational Foundation.

The 1st Ing Cup was a 16-player knockout tournament. This was increased to a 24-player knockout for the 2nd Ing Cup, with 8 players being seeded into the second round. The semifinals are best-of-3 matches, and the final is best-of-5. Games are played according to the Ing rules.

So far the event has been won by a different Korean player every time. Winners and defeated finalists are as follows:

  1st  (Aug 1988 - Sep 1989)  Cho Hun-hyeon    3-2  Nie Weiping
  2nd  (Jul 1992 - May 1993)  Seo Pong-su      3-2  Otake Hideo
  3rd  (Apr 1996 - Nov 1996)  Yu Ch'ang-hyeok  3-1  Yoda Norimoto
  4th  (Apr 2000 - Feb 2001)  Yi Ch'ang-ho     3-1  Chang Hao
