Mr. Chun — 8 pro dan of Baduk from Sourth Korea.



He made a lot for developing Go game in Russia.

Mr. Chun often came to Russia, taught russians how to hold tournaments, to teach children, to play Go.

I met master Chun at Kazan during children tournament, wich he and his friend organized. Mr. Chun spent a lot of time with children, he commented their games, and taught them how to play Go.
