    Cho Han-seung’s victory shifted him past Ch’oe Ch’eol-han to the top of the Korean win-loss record table for 2005: his record is now 43:18.

    It turns out that Kim Namhun is a former first-class Korean insei, who couldn’t qualify to become a pro due to the intense competition for the few professional positions available each year. (source: Go4Go.net)
