Yoo Changhyuk 9-dan was one of Korea's top players, and probably one of the strongest in the world.

Yu was born on 25 April 1966 and is South Korean. It is said that he is mainly self-taught and never had a proper master (like Yi or Cho). He became a 1-dan professional in 1984, was promoted to 9-dan in 1996, and has won numerous international titles including the Ing Cup, LG Cup, Chunlan Cup, Samsung Cup, and Fujitsu Cup (twice).

Member in 2009 of the Team Yeongnam Ilbo, winner of the Korean Baduk League. Yoo won the last game of the League.

His style is to play for influence, his strength in the conversion of attacking positions into advantage in the endgame.

As of 2011-10-03, Yoo played in his career 1747 games, winning 1141 of them, losing 604 (2 jigo).
