The new titles of the sections bother me. The first part talks about his first years and when he came to Japan, NOT when he became a professional. He didn't "peak" until 1985, after winning the Kisei title. So that means, it wouldn't be top choice to label the section before as his peak. Can 16:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I find it kind of odd that there are two pictures of Cho crying over a game. Wouldn't it be nicer to at least change one of them to a more positive picture? Maybe one where he won the game, or at least where you can see his face? Just a suggestion. --Gandalf 23:55, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, you are right, but the first one was to show how he gets emotional during games, and the second of how he got emotional in the Oza match. Although, I do agree on putting a positive picture. I have dozens of pictures so it shouldn't be hard to get one.

Also, when Cho arrived in Japan, he was not greeted by his uncle and brother, rather they were the ones that accompanied him. Kitani and his wife were the ones to greet him :) Can 00:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't understand what the sentence meant. I have now gone through the second section and there were a couple questions I had that I put in HTML comment tags. --Gandalf 05:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

The section "The Beginning" requires serious work in terms of citing sources. I removed the information concerning Cho's rank upon his arrival in Japan because it was both unsourced and highly implausible, but the rest of the section also needs work, should anyone be willing to take it on. --Hyperpapeterie 00:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Basically, everything in this article is just a paraphrased version from this website. CanbekEsen 19:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

This article says Cho Chikun was the youngest player to turn pro. But the article about Cho Hunhyun says that he was. Which is correct?

I clarified this by stating Cho is the youngest in the modern Go world (as is everywhere else on the net). I'm not sure why this is used like it is, but I guess the Korean Go Association back then wasn't really recognized. CanbekEsen 23:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Complete copy of the content of the website? I paraphrased everything I have found on other websites. I did not mean to cause any fuss in doing so. Besides, not all information on here has been gathered from your website. I will e-mail you and try to settle this. CanbekEsen 05:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I am still waiting for that e-mail. 21:45 2006-12-24 here in the Netherlands. Jan van Rongen.

[edit] Korean war

The Korean War ended in 1953 almost three years before Cho was born, so there's something terribly wrong with the early life account in this article. I'm guessing the near money burning incident happened during the war and the fortuneteller came years later after Cho was born, two separate incidents, but I don't have any sources so somebody else should make the changes. The story is ludicrous as it stands now. DAC1956 22:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know who changed it, but I believe that it wasn't like that. His family was impoverished during the Korean War, and his named was changed another time. Source CanbekEsen 23:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
