Weiqi in the World
世界围棋
Weiqi was taken to Japan before the year 1000,where it was cultivated at court and in certain Buddhist sects. In the 1950s,a professional weiqi system was established in Korea,when weiqi master Cho Nam-chul returned from professional training in Japan. Today weiqi is more popular in Korea than anywhere else in the world. It is estimated that from five to ten percent of the population regulaly plays it.
