Games of Cho Chikun in the Pro Best Ten
This list covers all the games played by Cho here [source Kido 1980/1], but of only about 50% I have the records. Many of the games from the preliminary rounds are not available yet. The preliminaries are knock-outs. The table illustrates how tough it is for a young dan player to reach the "real" tournament.
