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.
